Having been cooped up in the palace for so long, they had never seen such a scene before, so naturally they were all full of curiosity.

In addition, their task this time was to help the bride hold up her crown.

But for the princes and princesses, the most important thing about such a new thing is to participate.

At the same time, Zhao Linger, dressed in a green wedding dress, slowly walked out of the sedan chair.

Zhao Linger, with her heavy makeup, had a shy face with peach cheeks. Her skin was not only as white as ice, but also as bright as red clouds. She had dark eyebrows, a beautiful nose, and a pair of clear and bright autumn eyes like a spring. She tried to avoid Li Shouxi's gaze, but had to keep her spirits up.

After all, this is the Tang Dynasty Palace, and there are so many steps under your feet!

Supported by the Saint Aunt and Li Hanyi, and protected by the four girls of Mei Jian who were scattering flowers, he and Li Shouxi, who was wearing a bright red robe, walked step by step into the Daming Palace.

In the elaborately decorated hall, the sun and the moon shine together. The majestic Emperor Tang and the dignified Empress sit on the dragon throne together, ignoring the people below.

On both sides were royal relatives on one side and important ministers and dignitaries on the other. Basically all the famous nobles in Chang'an City were present to welcome the two newlyweds.

"The bride and groom are here!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the graceful figures of the bridesmaids.

Even the bridesmaids are so beautiful, and the bride is so stunningly beautiful.

But they didn't dare to think about it. One was the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, with unparalleled swordsmanship; the other was the Saint Lady from Southern Xinjiang, with strange methods, and not everyone could afford to provoke them.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites officials, Li Shouxi and Zhao Linger completed the most basic smoothness!

And because the wedding was held in the imperial palace, the high-ranking officials sitting on the main throne were not the Emperor Tang and Concubine Shang, but the Emperor Tang and the Empress. This is why the sun and the moon are in the same palace today.

This is a ritual.

Not to mention that Li Shouxi has no right to change these things, even if he becomes the new Emperor of Tang, he cannot change them.

Trying to challenge the entire Kyushu etiquette system with one person's strength is tantamount to seeking self-destruction.

Similarly, the queen, who was extremely wary of Li Shouxi and wished he could be cut into pieces, had to pretend to be kind and be known as the mother of the country.

In order to show his magnanimity, he even had to give Zhao Linger an extremely precious piece of warm fragrant jade.

Next, it was the banquet at Prince Yan’s Mansion!

The palace presided over it because of the importance attached to Li Shouxi and the intention of the royal family, so it was a grand ceremony;

But the banquet was still held in Prince Yan's Mansion. After all, Li Shouxi was not the crown prince or the emperor, and even if he was the crown prince, he had no right to hold the banquet in the main hall, but had to hold it in the East Palace.

Naturally, Li Shouxi’s wedding banquet was also held at Prince Yan’s Mansion!

For this purpose, Li Shouxi made preparations early, with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

Deep-sea tuna sashimi, flying dragon soup from Taibai Mountain, braised bear paws freshly slaughtered in Nanshan... and the stir-fried meat is dragon meat that Li Shouxi has deliberately kept refrigerated until now.

The wines you can choose from include Taibai Mountain ice wine, Jiangnan 18-year-old daughter red wine, and imperial wine stored in the palace for a hundred years...

Therefore, the banquet at Prince Yan's Mansion left a deep impression on many people.

After all, only the King of Yan, who was as wealthy as a country at that time, could have planned such a grand wedding without considering the cost.

Except for the decoration within the palace, all other expenses were contracted by the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Chapter 59: Wedding Night, Ninth Rank of Martial Arts

"Miss!"

"Master!"

The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.

Before, they were just being polite to each other like a girl and a prince, but now, after a wedding, they have become one.

This is a sacred and solemn ceremony.

From the moment the ceremony was over, the two of them were spiritually one and the same, rising together and falling together!

This is not just empty talk.

At this time, in the bridal chamber, there were silk curtains inlaid with pearls, leather carpets made of the finest fox fur, silk quilts embroidered with cloud brocade... There were also wedding wine cups made of dragon horns, and dragon and phoenix candles made of exotic spermaceti.

Such an extravagant wedding was because it was the first time for both Li Shouxi and Zhao Linger.

It was also the only wedding of such a grand scale.

This represents the legal marriage. Even if you marry again later, or even take a concubine, it is just an entry.

After all, the princes are not allowed to enter the capital unless summoned!

Without the elders around, everything would naturally be reduced, otherwise the censors would report the extravagance.

Today, most of the supplies for Li Shouxi's banquet were collected by himself, although they were all top-notch luxury delicacies.

But in comparison, not much money was wasted. Most of it was special products from Liaodong, or tribute stored in the palace - brocade, imperial wine, red sandalwood...

The most expensive luxury item was the rough carpet that was a thousand feet long and was laid all along the way.

"It's time to rest!"

Looking at the shy girl, Li Shouxi also knew how nervous she was.

However, as the male, although Li Shouxi is also a novice, he is psychologically experienced and knows what to do.

···

So lingering and charming!

The next morning, Li Shouxi, who had just woken up, looked at the beautiful young woman with a tired face and full of pain, but Li Shouxi also knew that this was a necessary process.

Moreover, from the combination of dragon and phoenix, Li Shouxi gained such great benefits that he was directly promoted to the ninth level of martial arts.

The Taoist secret of longevity is based on the principles of yin and yang and the five elements, and does not reject female beauty.

Moreover, the gift of Nuwa's bloodline, the innate pure Yin, enabled him to directly advance the Yin-Yang chapter of the Taoist Longevity Art to the Great Perfection - the Great Celestial Realm;

And when the two of them completely merged into one, the water and fire dragon balls in their bodies enabled Li Shouxi to gain the power of innate pure yang true fire in a state of water and fire blending, yin and yang complementing each other.

When the Gang Qi is circulating, it seems like a roaring fire dragon, ready to burst out, which is the extremely strong, masculine and unparalleled scorching Yang Gang Qi.

And it is even more domineering than Liehuo Tiangang.

This is the blood transformation after the fusion of the Fire Dragon Ball, which is completely integrated with Li Shouxi's pure yang foundation.

"Your Majesty!"

When Mei Jian and others saw Li Shouxi wake up, they hurried to help him wash and dress.

They were Li Shouxi's personal maids, and their rooms were connected to Li Shouxi's bedroom, so when Li Shouxi was not awake yet, they were already waiting for him to wake up.

As for Zhao Linger?

Seeing his tired and painful expression, Li Shouxi did not disturb him. After all, the royal family did not serve tea in the morning, so the afternoon would be fine.

As soon as he entered the hall, Cao Shaoqing was calculating the revenue based on the roster.

On the opposite side were three old men making new copies, each responsible for a different area, such as gold and gems, rare treasures, and precious medicinal materials!

The Saint Aunt and Grandma were looking at the accounts in shock.

In the South, it’s not that there is no dowry, but it’s just a little token of thought, there’s no need to make it so complicated.

But this is Chang'an, and Li Shouxi is the eldest prince of Prince Qi Fu, a vassal who holds real power, so the gifts sent by various forces are not shabby.

There are hundreds of treasures sent by various major forces alone, all of which are priceless.

Such as thirteen red-blooded hearts, ten thousand-year-old agarwood Buddha statues, Buddhist Vajra relics...

The things sent by the merchants were mainly gold and gems.

A red dragon made of ten thousand taels of gold and inlaid with gems, a three-foot-tall statue of Sakyamuni Buddha with a Dharma wheel embellished with top-quality pearls, and black pearls that are said to beautify and nourish the skin...

After calculating, the amount was so huge that both Saint Aunt and Grandma were stunned.

Before, they thought Li Shouxi was too extravagant, but now they realized that he was still too conservative.

"More than one million ounces of gold, three large boxes of jewels, and one hundred and thirty-seven rare treasures."

Having said that, Cao Shaoqing handed the re-copied gift list to Li Shouxi.

The gold and gemstone categories all indicate how much gold and gemstones there are.

For rare and precious treasures, the focus is on their origin and preciousness, and finally their value assessment.

Precious medicinal materials, such as thousand-year-old snow ganoderma, seven-leaf golden orchid, Tianshan snow lotus, etc., are all in short supply...

In addition, there are one hundred jade disks, ten jade ruyi, and one hundred rolls of brocade awarded by the Tang Emperor... The property of the royal family - a royal manor of the highest standard (ten thousand hectares of fertile land), a mountain (a mountain of firewood), and three shops on Zhuque Street in Chang'an (a source of income)... The subsidy given by the empire to the prince's wedding - ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and a thousand rolls of silk and satin...

This was the gain from Li Shouxi’s wedding. Even Li Shouxi couldn’t believe it after seeing it.

I didn’t expect that the Tang Emperor, royal family, and the imperial court would provide so much subsidies for a wedding.

"Put it in storage."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Faced with these treasures, Cao Shaoqing's expression did not change much.

For a ninth-rank master, these are basically external things, and in Prince Yan's Mansion, Cao Shaoqing has everything he needs.

"Your Highness, Ling'er hasn't woken up yet?"

"Ling'er was a bit overworked last night, and serving tea was a rush, so let Ling'er sleep a little longer and talk about other things in the afternoon."

Upon hearing this, the Saint Lady nodded, realizing that Li Shouxi was right.

It is inevitable for a woman who has just gotten married to stay in bed a little longer the next day.

What's more, Li Shouxi has said so. He loves his own wife very much. What else can they say?

"Your Highness, are you a ninth-rank official?"

The four girls of Mei Jian were unable to notice it because their realm was not high enough; although the Saint Lady had a high level of cultivation, her strength was not that great, otherwise she would not have been controlled by the Moon Worship Sect.

But after Cao Shaoqing got busy, he soon discovered something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, overnight, Li Shouxi's martial arts skills were promoted to the ninth-grade grandmaster.

“Before I was twenty years old, I mainly practiced Hunyuan Tongzi Gong and cultivated a breath of Yuanyang essence.

After breaking through the eighth level, the Boy's Skill was perfected, so he practiced the Taoist Mystical Skill of Longevity as his main skill, which is the highest and most unique skill of Taoism.

Last night, Yin and Yang merged. The pure Yang energy that I have accumulated for twenty years merged with Ling'er's innate pure Yin. Unexpectedly, the secret of longevity was pushed to the realm of Yin and Yang perfection.

Furthermore, once this king breaks through, he will be at the Great Celestial Realm!"

hiss hiss hiss...

A twenty-one-year-old ninth-grade grandmaster who is also at the Great Celestial Realm.

This shocked everyone to the extreme.

Even though the Saint Lady knew that Li Shouxi had extraordinary talent and that it would only take a few years for him to break through to the Ninth Rank, she did not expect that Li Shouxi would be so extraordinary that he could ascend to the Great Celestial Realm overnight.

The most important thing is that Li Shouxi is in the Great Celestial Realm, but Li Shouxi's horizontal refining is even more domineering than that of the Great Vajra Realm.

I believe that it won’t be long before Li Shouxi will likely become a dual-realm grandmaster before the age of thirty!

Chapter 60: Spiritual Conflicts - Three Realms of Human Immortals

Eighth level martial arts? !

After waking up just one night, Zhao Linger, who was originally at the fifth level of martial arts, also saw her cultivation level soar, directly entering the eighth level of martial arts.

Such tremendous progress is so terrifying that even the Witch Queen of the past was not so terrifying.

At the time, the Witch Queen married the King of Nanzhao at the age of 18. Her strength was only at the seventh level in martial arts, not to mention that she broke through three realms overnight.

Even after Zhao Linger got up, she was still shocked.

But when Zhao Linger heard that Li Shouxi's secret of immortality was the highest Taoist skill, and even the combination of seven diagrams into a supreme technique, she was not so shocked.

After all, Li Shouxi has too many secrets.
