In the morning, the wedding procession entered the capital, with melodious music and the sound of bells and drums, playing a magnificent chapter of this grand era. The music seemed to penetrate the sky, and the entire imperial city was immersed in joy.

People had already gathered on both sides of the street, men, women, old and young were all smiling, children were laughing and playing in the crowd, their eyes full of excitement and curiosity, they rode on their fathers' shoulders to watch. They were stunned by the grand scale of the wedding reception.

This was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a grand and gorgeous wedding.

The red silk spread all the way from the city gate, like a winding red dragon, guiding the King of Nan'an to the wedding venue - the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

The ladies-in-waiting and attendants were beautifully dressed, smiling, and holding various utensils in their hands, like a flowing painting.

The groom, King Nan'an, sat upright in the dragon chariot. He wore a crown with twelve tassels, and the jade and pearls on it sparkled with noble light in the sun. He wore a bright yellow dragon robe, and the golden dragon on it seemed to be flying into the sky, showing the majesty of the emperor. His face was as handsome as jade, and his eyes were full of majesty and joy.

The dragon chariot went all the way to the Duke of Huguo's mansion and stopped.

King Nannan got off the car and stood in front of the gate of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. He saw his bride, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and holding a round fan to cover her face, walking towards him.

He took a few steps forward, reached out and took Qi Wan's hand, and said affectionately: "Ah Wan, I'm here to marry you."

Qi Wan looked at him with affectionate eyes.

The two stood side by side and turned around to bow and say goodbye to Old Master Qi, Qi Lu, and Mrs. Pei.

The family members happily returned the gift and blessed with a smile, "Take care of yourselves, and be loving and happy."

King Nan'an said in a resonant voice: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Awan."

He took Qi Wan's hand and helped her onto the dragon chariot, and they sat side by side in the chariot.

On the dragon chariot, the queen wore a phoenix crown and a red robe. The phoenix on the crown spread its wings and was about to fly. The jewels embellished on it were dazzling and glittering like stars. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress with peonies embroidered with gold thread blooming on the hem of her skirt, looking elegant and luxurious. She covered her face with an exquisite round fan embroidered with mandarin ducks, but it could not hide her peerless beauty and shyness.

The maids gathered around, holding palace fans, with the pictures of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the fans lifelike, as if they were also blessing the newlyweds.

"King Nangan and the Queen are a perfect match." The onlookers said enviously.

At this time, a group of eunuchs came hurriedly with ten beauties.

One of them announced, "The Queen Mother has decreed that the King of Nan'an be given ten beautiful concubines."

Everyone was stunned. The people in the Qi Mansion were filled with anger, and the onlookers all looked at the queen with sympathetic eyes.

What's the use of a queen being beautiful? Can she compete with these ten concubines? It's still a decree.

Qi Wan was sitting, still covering her face with a round fan, so her expression could not be seen.

King Nangan's face darkened.

He first raised his voice to the ten beauties and said, "Each of you take 100 gold and leave."

The ten beauties all looked at the handsome King Nangan with bright eyes of admiration, without blinking.

They were extremely surprised that they could become concubines of such a king.

Facing the proposal made by King Nan'an, they all shook their heads and said in a tender voice: "I want to follow Your Majesty..."

King Nan'an waved his hand and said coldly: "If you don't accept my toast, then I will send you all to the brothel to be prostitutes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." A large group of guards came forward and grabbed the ten women away.

"Let me go and give me a hundred gold coins." Seeing that the situation was not good, a woman immediately expressed her desire to take the gold and leave.

Someone came up to her and handed her a silver note, and she ran away quickly with it.

The other nine relied on their backers and said, "We were given by the Queen Mother."

"You don't take the Queen Mother seriously."

"I belong to the Queen Mother."

These nine people kept mentioning the Queen Mother, but were still dragged towards the brothel.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they couldn't help but say, "Ah, he really was sent to a brothel!"

Someone said, "What a slap in the face, sending the person sent by the Queen Mother to a brothel."

Officials from Nan'an Kingdom questioned loudly, "What qualifications does the Queen Mother of the Pu Dynasty have to grant a concubine to the King of Nan'an?"

Another official from the Nan'an State simply said to the crowd: "From the perspective of seniority, it doesn't make sense for a younger generation to give a concubine to an elder generation!"

People were very surprised to hear this, and they kept it in mind, asking people for the inside story, "Why do you say that the king of Nan'an is the elder of Empress Dowager Lu?"

It was originally a secret of the royal family, and many people did not know that the King of Nannan was actually the Crown Prince Qin of the Pu Dynasty. It was only after Empress Dowager Lu gave him a beauty that people gradually found out about it, and later it became a known matter to everyone.

At the scene, many people ran to a nearby brothel to watch the fun.

The eunuch who came to escort the people woke up from his shock and kindly pointed out, "Among those women, there is Miss Yuan Er, the cousin of the Qi family."

When Doctor Yuan heard this, he stepped out from the crowd and announced in public, "This is not true. My second daughter is seriously ill and is being treated in another hospital."

The eunuch was stunned again. Empress Dowager Lu had just said to him, "With Miss Yuan Er in there, it's impossible for the King of Nan'an not to take her in."

However, Doctor Yuan said that the patient was recuperating in another hospital. What was going on? The eunuch was confused.

The officials present to watch the ceremony all opened their eyes wide and looked at everything happening before their eyes in astonishment. They had never expected that Empress Dowager Lu would put on such a show.

However, what was even more unexpected to them was that King Nangan fought back without fear.

King Nannan sneered and sent all the women given to him by Queen Mother Lu to brothels to entertain guests. This bold and outrageous move stunned everyone.

At this moment, a panicked man came running from a distance and shouted, "Oh no! A woman has been killed!"

Upon hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed.

It turned out that among these women who were sent to the brothel, there was a woman named Rong'er. She was a senior palace maid beside Empress Dowager Lu and was quite pretty.

Because she had the Queen Mother's support, she behaved in an extremely arrogant and domineering manner.

When they were forcibly dragged into the brothel, Rong'er suddenly screamed, "I am the beloved concubine of King Nannan, and he has already had my body!" After that, she laughed triumphantly.

However, what she never expected was that King Nan'an's guard drew his sword without saying a word, pierced her chest with it, and said coldly: "How dare you slander our Majesty, you will die!"

When the other women saw this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs went weak, and they dared not talk nonsense anymore.

They regretted very much why they didn't ask for the 100 gold coins when they left.

King Nan'an then said to the people present, "Hurry up and go to the brothel to enjoy the beauties in the palace."

A group of men actually ran to the brothel. These beauties were surrounded by the guards of Nan'an Kingdom and were not allowed to come out. They did not withdraw until the clients came and enjoyed the beauties.

King Nangan asked with a sneer, "Are you still sending beauties to me?" He looked at the officials with his eyes.

All the officials of the Zongzhengsi were sweating profusely and didn't know how to respond.

Wu Yi whispered in Qi Wan's ear: "Queen, I really regret helping Queen Dowager Lu get the throne."

Qi Wan shook her head: "No regrets."

She whispered, "She was weak at the time, so I helped her."

"She became ungrateful after gaining power. I have the ability to deal with her."

"Yes, master." Wu Yi bowed.

After Qi Wan finished speaking, he reached into his clothes and turned the rosary, muttering to himself, "Take away all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace." Then several rays of light flashed in the sky.

King Nangan waved his hand again, and the music sounded again, cheerful and melodious. At the same time, the carriage began to move forward slowly. In this lively atmosphere, people felt joy and happiness.

As the carriage moved forward, a group of people sat in the carriage behind, holding a lot of wedding candies and copper coins in their hands, with smiles on their faces. These people threw the wedding candies and copper coins to the crowd, triggering waves of cheers and laughter.

The people in the crowd were not to be outdone, and they shouted all kinds of auspicious words to the carriage, hoping to bring good luck and happiness to the newlyweds.

Someone shouted: "Congratulations!"

"Love grows old!"

Others blessed, "Have a baby soon!" These auspicious words were heard one after another.

The young girls were still shyly discussing how gorgeous the queen's phoenix crown was, while the boys were marveling at the emperor's dragon robe.

The old people's faces were all smiles. They had experienced countless years and were excited about this rare wedding. They kept saying, "May the king and queen live together until old age!"

As the wedding procession slowly moved forward, flower petals fell from the sky like snowflakes, and the fragrance filled the air.

Cheers and applause rang out one after another, and the whole city was immersed in the joy brought by this grand wedding.
