Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chu Xiong and Qi Piao walked in the front, and the so-called 'concubines' who came with the dowry followed behind them in an orderly manner.

After going through all the cumbersome etiquette, it was already dusk, the time when day and night alternated. Finally, they arrived at the main hall of the Princess's Mansion, where Qi Yuan sat on the highest seat.

"Worship heaven and earth."

Chu Xiong and Qi Piao worshipped heaven and earth, and more than a hundred concubines behind them followed suit.

They were wearing red dresses, and were of different heights, weights, ages, and appearances. They all bowed toward the sky and the earth at the same time. This scene was hilarious no matter how you looked at it.

The ceremonial officers who were maintaining the scene and the invited guests could not help laughing. If their self-control was weaker, they might have laughed out loud.

Those who knew thought it was a wedding, while those who didn't thought it was a strange ceremony to summon gods.

"Bow to your majesty."

Qi Piao turned around to face Qi Yuan, while Chu Xiong looked embarrassed and even a little annoyed, but Qi Piao pulled him around with one hand, and then Qi Piao kicked Chu Xiong on the calf. As the kick came too suddenly, Chu Xiong groaned in pain, and then his knees could not support him and he bent forward. The next moment he knelt on the ground with a crisp sound.

All these actions were completed in just a few seconds, which Chu Xiong had never expected.

Qi Piao also knelt down and completed the ceremony of "Second Bow to Your Majesty" together with Chu Xiong.

Qi Piao and Qi Yuan are siblings from the same father and mother. In the fifth year after Qi Yuan ascended the throne, the queen mother passed away. With their parents gone, Qi Piao and Qi Yuan planned to give Chu Xiong a warning, so they designed this plan.

Everyone present was stunned. Chu Xiong was still the emperor of Chu in name. Chu Xiong knelt down to Qi Yuan, which symbolized Chu's submission to Beihuang.

Chu Xiong reacted quickly, his anger rising. He had never been so humiliated before. He looked at Qi Piao angrily: "You..."

Qi Piao remained calm, and took out a dagger from her sleeves, placed it on Chu Xiong's neck, and whispered, "People say that a woman follows her husband, but you and I follow her. I am the eldest princess of the Northern Wilderness, so why can't I kneel down and pay homage to His Majesty? You are my husband, and we are one, sharing honor and glory. How can a wife kneel while a husband stands?"

Chu Xiong felt the chill on his neck, as if he would be killed with a single blow if he dared to object. His scalp went numb and his anger disappeared in an instant, with a look of panic on his face.

Qi Piao saw all the changes in Chu Xiong and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. At the last welcoming banquet, she had been secretly observing Chu Xiong. Combining with Chu Xiong's deeds, she felt that this was a person who was extremely afraid of death.

As long as his life is threatened, he can do anything. Not to mention her, even if it is a beggar, he will kneel down if a knife is placed on his neck.

"Bow and kneel down, otherwise this day next year will be your death anniversary." Qi Piao moved the dagger closer to Chu Xiong's neck, against his skin, and said coldly, as if he had Chu Xiong in his hand.

Chu Xiong swallowed his saliva, swallowing his dignity along with it. He looked at Qi Piao with a cold face and nodded.

Qi Piao put the dagger back into his sleeve with satisfaction, put on a gentle smile, and together with Chu Xiong, he knelt respectfully to Qi Yuan.

The ceremony is completed.

Everyone saw this scene, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qi Piao was threatening Chu Xiong, but no one exposed it.

We are not fools. To expose things in such circumstances is to say that we have lived too long.

The hundreds of "concubines" standing behind Chu Xiong and Qi Piao were angry but dared not say a word. Their monarch was forced to kneel down under threat of a knife. No minister could endure this.

But this is the Northern Wilderness, not the State of Chu. They don't have the courage to stop it and can only watch it all happen.

At this time, Chu Xiong and Qi Piao knelt down, and the more than a hundred people still standing seemed so abrupt.

Qi Yuan cast a fascinating look at them, as if asking:

Even the Emperor of Chu can kneel down, so why don’t you?

The concubines looked at each other and subconsciously looked for Zhang He, using his behavior as a reference, but found that Zhang He was not there at all. At this moment, they realized that Zhang He must have betrayed them and had long since defected to Beihuang, which is why they were spared.

Otherwise, as the Prime Minister of Chu State, Beihuang would definitely keep a close eye on him, so how could he not be present?

I cursed Zhang He's entire family in my heart, not because he betrayed me, but because he betrayed me without even calling me.

As time went by, the situation at the scene did not allow them to think any further. Qi Yuan's gaze became more and more pressing. In addition, with the example of Chu Xiong, someone knelt down with a bang, followed by a group of people kneeling down, kneeling with a clear conscience.

In their opinion, since even the monarch Chu Xiong knelt down, it would not be considered a great shame for them to kneel down too.

All the guests in the hall were stunned, and looking at Chu Xiong and others, they couldn't help but feel a bit of contempt.

Qi Yuan laughed heartily and said, "The Emperor of Chu is so generous in his courtesy that I am really surprised."

Although he said that, Qi Yuan did not look frightened at all. Instead, he calmly accepted Chu Xiong's kneeling greeting.

hypocritical!

Chu Xiong cursed in his heart, his face gloomy, but he saw Qi Piao beside him looking at him with a half-smile, the dagger hidden in his sleeve against the silver light, and he immediately put on a smile and said, "The eldest princess and I are already husband and wife. You are sitting here on behalf of the eldest princess's parents, representing the eldest princess's elders, who are also my elders. It is in accordance with etiquette for me to pay my respects to my elders."

Chu Xiong would never admit that he knelt down because he was afraid of death. Instead, he used all kinds of reasons to explain to the world the rationality of his kneeling to Qi Yuan. It seemed that as long as the reason for kneeling was sufficient, he would not have lost his dignity.

"Hahaha, the Emperor of Chu is really a wonderful person." Qi Yuan was also shocked by Chu Xiong's shamelessness. He sneered at him in his heart. He still wanted to save face at this time, but he laughed heartily on his face, and the ministers of Beihuang also laughed.

Next, the wedding continued.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

Qi Piao and Chu Xiong bowed to each other, and thus they officially became husband and wife.

After they sat down, Qi Piao and Chu Xiong sat together, and the concubines were also given seats.

"Congratulations on behalf of Your Majesty, the Emperor of Chu, the Princess, and the good relations between Beihuang and the State of Chu! Congratulations on the happy marriage of the Princess and the Emperor of Chu!" He Siming raised his glass to congratulate Qi Yuan, and then drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

Afterwards, he looked for his 'old friend' Zhang He in the row of 'concubines', wanting to congratulate him on his marriage. However, he was quite disappointed. He did not see Zhang He, which made him a little disappointed.

But he didn't dare to ask, and would know tomorrow.

…………

After the banquet, in a bedroom in the Princess's mansion, red candles were shining brightly. Chu Xiong sat beside the bed, frowning as he looked at Qi Piao standing in front of him. He sneered, "You must be very proud of yourself!"

Qi Piao was very proud of having stepped on Chu Xiong's face. However, Qi Piao could not bear to see Chu Xiong's attempt to cover up his guilt. He had already knelt down, but he was still pretending to be indomitable in front of her, so she took out the dagger again.

Chu Xiong's face changed drastically, and he looked at the dagger tremblingly: "You, you, you... I have already lost all my face, isn't that enough? Do you still want to kill me?"

"You'd better behave yourself in front of me, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise..." Qi Piao made a 'click' gesture, scaring Chu Xiong so much that he nodded repeatedly.

"What a coward!" Qi Piao sneered, his tone full of contempt for Chu Xiong, then turned and left.

Performing the same rituals as Duke Zhou with Chu Xiong would be an insult to her.

She would not touch Chu Xiong, and even less would she touch those so-called 'concubines'.

So he pushed the door open and went to Li Yuzhu's room, not worrying at all that Chu Xiong would tell others. After all, if it got out, he would be the one to be embarrassed.
