Chapter 465: The 8th Day of the Second Month: A Good Day for Marriage

In the palace, in the Imperial Study, Emperor Ming was reviewing the memorial and asked,, “The marriage between the boy from the Qin family and the Dragon Clan will be tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Li replied respectfully.

“Has the Ministry of Rites made all the arrangements?”

“Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have been overseeing everything.”

“Hmm,” the Emperor nodded, setting down the memorials in his hand. “How are the preparations for the betrothal gift  that Qin’s family is sending to the Dragon Clan?”

“Here is the list of gifts, please review it, Your Majesty.” Eunuch Li handed over the booklet.

After browsing through it, the Emperor lowered his head in thought and then said, “Since this marriage is arranged by me, it cannot be lacking.” 

“As we all know, the Dragon Clan is wealthy. The betrothal we provide must not be inferior. I cannot allow them to outdo us. Double the amount listed on this list to highlight the dignity of the royal family!”

“As you command, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Li bowed and withdrew.

The eighth day of the second lunar month was a good time to get married.

The Qin Mansion was adorned with bright lights and decorations, and the whole house was filled with red and festive colors.

“Master Qin, please raise your hand.” The maid sent by the Ministry of Rites said softly.

Qin Feng, dressed in a single-layered robe, adorned with a large red ceremonial robe and a golden-threaded black waistband, the groom’s outfit was also custom-made by Imperial Excellance, making it luxurious and elegant.

Qin Feng suddenly remembered the scene when he married his wife for the first time, seemingly similar to this one.

Unexpectedly, both times, the Qin family didn’t have to make any effort; everything was arranged by outsiders.

Outside the Qin residence, the crowd had already gathered. Apart from common people who came to witness the festivity from afar, there were also officials and nobles preparing to send gifts to establish relationships.

Qin Feng’s momentum was rising in the Imperial City. Coupled with today’s marriage with the Dragon Clan, his future prospects were limitless. Naturally, people wanted to be more attentive.

At the same time, some officials regretted it. If they had known earlier, when Qin Feng became the Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet, they should have been more proactive and found ways to send their daughters to the Qin family so that they could also benefit.

Currently, Qin Feng has married two women, one is the beautiful daughter of Heaven, Liu Jianli, and the other is a woman from the Dragon Clan.

Of course, ordinary rouge and powder would no longer attract his attention.

Moreover, in the face of such two women, even if other women had thoughts about Qin Feng, they would have to weigh their own strength first. Otherwise, it’s nothing but self-disgrace.

The onlookers whispered to each other: “Look, who are those people coming to congratulate Master Qin? Basically, they are all officials appointed by the court!”

“I recognise that person, he seems to be a deputy minister of the Ministry of War, a third-ranking official!”

“Oh, that seems to be the disciple of the National Academy of the Grand Literature Academy.”

“The craftsmen from the Divine Workshop are also here. Don’t they never appear on such occasions?”

“How can Master Qin be compared to ordinary people?”

“But why don’t these people enter the mansion?”

“What do you know, the Dragon Clan hasn’t arrived yet. It would be rude for them to enter the mansion at this moment.”

“Speaking of which, when will the Dragon Clan people arrive? I’ve been waiting here since dawn, I just want to see what the rumoured Dragon Clan wedding looks like.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, a loud dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked for the sound and then their eyes widened.

They saw a huge black dragon of unknown length on the distant horizon, with teeth and claws, rushing towards their direction.

And at the head of the dragon was a large red limousine, obviously carrying the bride.

On the dragon’s body, besides the people of the Dragon Clan, there were countless dowries of various sizes.

These dowries were bright and colourful, shining like stars from afar, obviously not ordinary goods at first glance!

The key was the quantity, which left people stunned!

While the crowd was shocked, the black giant dragon swooped down and covered the sky above the Qin Mansion.

Another loud dragon roar rang out.

The black giant dragon descended, its body shrinking and shrinking until it transformed into a human form, surprisingly it was Cang Min!

With the huge red limousine behind him, he alone carried it on his shoulder and landed steadily on the ground.

Behind the Dragon Clan members, countless dowries were also lightly dropped onto the ground.

The citizens of Imperial City had imagined the scene of the Dragon Clan marrying off their daughter, of course the Dragon Clan would not be modest as rumoured.

But their experience ultimately limited their imagination. A giant dragon lifting a sedan down from the sky, even if a royal princess gets married, she may not be able to have such grandeur, right?

When Qin Feng and the others heard the dragon’s roar, they knew that the Dragon Clan had arrived.

When they went out of the Qin residence to greet them, they happened to witness the scene of the giant dragon’s landing. Everyone, including Qin Feng, was stunned.

Seeing the situation outside the Qin residence, the mother-in-law who was waiting outside smiled but felt extremely anxious in her heart. Having such a grand ceremony for the Dragon Clan’s wedding would surely belittle her own daughter! 

Looking at the betrothal gifts covering almost half of the street,, the mother-in-law’s heart sank even more.

She discreetly pinched Liu Tianluo and angrily said, “Why didn’t we arrange more betrothal gifts for Jianli in the beginning?

Liu Tianluo calmly replied, “Even if we emptied the entire Liu family, we couldn’t come up with that many betrothal gifts.”

The mother-in-law was speechless for a moment, knowing that his words were true.

Although the Liu family held the title of Duke, and Liu Tianluo was the commander-in-chief of the Divine Marquis Army, the Liu family couldn’t be considered wealthy. 

After all, most of the family’s money was used to support the Divine Marquis Army or to help the soldiers’ families. Where would they find extra money?

Standing at the gate of the Qin residence, Qin Feng looked at the big red sedan chair and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

The one inside must be Miss Cang. It had been over half a year since they parted ways in Shuluang City.

When they met again, they were about to get married. Life is unpredictable.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward to help the bride out of the sedan.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves approached quickly, and Eunuch Li arrived with a group of people carrying box after box of betrothal gifts.

“Young Master Qin, by His Majesty’s order, we have brought the dowry. These dowries are carefully selected items, also as a token of His Majesty’s goodwill towards you.”

Eunuch Li deliberately raised his voice to attract everyone’s attention, emphasising His Majesty’s generosity and the dignity of the royal family.

But when he saw the betrothal gifts brought by the Dragon Clan, his eyes widened and his words stopped.

The Dragon Clan’s betrothal gifts for the marriage was unexpectedly extravagant, far beyond Eunuch Li’s expectations!

Beside the sedan chair, the Dragon Clan patriarch, Cang Xuan, looked at the engagement brought by Eunuch Li and sneered.

Qin Feng folded his hands respectfully and said, “Thank you for His Majesty’s grace, and thank you, Eunuch Li.”

“No need for excessive thanks,” Eunuch Li replied with a smile, obviously not as confident as before.

Next to the gate of the Qin Mansion, Father Qin looked at the dowries and betrothal gifts that almost filled the entire street, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

Fortunately, the betrothal had been arranged by the Emperor, otherwise he would have lost face as the head of the family.

But now, it was Emperor Ming who had lost face, and it had nothing to do with him.

After the betrothal gifts were cleared away, the streets were empty again.

Cang Mu looked different from before, no longer wearing a black dress, but a bright turquoise long gown. She walked over to the side of the big red sedan and lifted the curtain.

Everyone held their breath to see what the Dragon Clan woman looked like.

Her beautiful right hand came out of the curtain and the bride fell into everyone’s eyes.

She wore a phoenix crown and a red embroidered dress.

A red square scarf covered her face, and her other hand held a sandalwood fan.

Though her face couldn’t be seen clearly, those pale blue eyes and the faint outline under the scarf made it clear that the bride was definitely incomparable.

How could a woman from the Dragon Clan be inferior?

Qin Feng looked at Cang Feilan in her red dress and was stunned for a moment.

“Qin family boy, why are you still dawdling around? Do you want me to carry the bride to the house for you?!” Cang Mu scolded lightly.

“Ah? Oh.” Qin Feng came to his senses and rushed forward, and held Cang Feilan’s soft hand, which was as delicate and smooth as if it were boneless.

The two of them should have had thousands of unspoken words, but at this moment, they didn’t know what to say.

Joy and tenderness fermented in their palms.

“Shall we go in together?”

“Mmm.”
