The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Feng Liushang came over and patted his shoulder, giving him silent comfort.

Royal Palace:

Inside the Golden Throne Hall, ornate decorations and dazzling palace lanterns complement each other, creating a solemn and mysterious atmosphere. A red carpet stretches from the center of the hall to the steps in front of it.

Piled up on both sides were 150 boxes of priceless dowry that the royal family had carefully prepared for Ruan Siqi. They were like treasures shining with golden light, which was jaw-dropping.

Ruan Siqi, adorned in his opulent attire for a marriage alliance, stood in the center of the Golden Throne Hall, his beauty breathtaking. His cool, indifferent expression gave off an air of aloofness; his hair crown, inlaid with blue gemstones, shimmered with dazzling light. Beside him, the princess, clad in exquisite purple attire, was a celestial beauty, her face radiating a sweet, noble and gentle smile. Together, they awaited the Emperor's arrival.

The hall was filled with ministers standing on both sides. They were all dressed in their best clothes and brought their blessings, watching everything quietly.

The entire Golden Throne Hall was filled with a solemn and festive atmosphere. This beautiful scene actually embodies the hope for peaceful coexistence between the two countries.

The perimeter of the Golden Throne Hall was filled with young masters and young ladies from various families, their eyes sparkling with excitement. This was a princess's marriage, and they were not qualified to participate and watch it. However, in order to show his importance to this marriage, the Grand Tutor let them witness the grand scene of the royal wedding.

What they didn't know was that this was Ruan Guolong's own plan. He wanted everyone to witness it. This was to prevent Ruan Xiaojiu from acting recklessly and preventing Ruan Siqi from marrying into Zidan. With these ministers and young men and women of the same age present, he believed Ruan Xiaojiu would be somewhat cautious and would want to maintain her dignity, so she wouldn't make a big fuss.

He couldn't let Ruan Xiaojiu ruin the marriage because he had to consider his grandson's throne. He could agree to other things but not this one.

He no longer had the ability to fight, and the Qin State did not have any strong generals for the time being, so it was most appropriate to not care about the war that could be resolved through marriage.

Hall of Mental Cultivation:

Ruan Jun'an was trying hard to persuade his grandfather not to marry his younger uncle to Zidan, but his grandfather just wouldn't listen.

"Grandpa, I don't agree with this marriage. My uncle is Xiaojiu's favorite. You and I have known this for a long time. How could you do this? Aren't you afraid of hurting Xiaojiu's feelings? It's not like there are no other men in Qin. Can't we choose someone else?"

Ruan Guolong sat in his seat with a stern expression. He had already explained the pros and cons of this matter to his grandson. When would this stubborn grandson mature and consider the overall situation before doing anything?

"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. The princess specifically asked for your uncle. If someone else could be replaced, do you think grandpa hasn't thought about it?" Ruan Guolong said unhappily.

"That doesn't mean she can just ask for whoever she wants."

Ruan Guolong looked at his disappointing grandson and said angrily: "The matter is already on the verge of happening. Your uncle and the princess are already waiting in the main hall. It's too late to say anything now. It's better to send them away quickly to avoid any trouble."

"Grandpa, even if you want me to go, you have to wait for Xiaojiu to come and see me off." He had no other choice but to delay for a while. Ruan Jun'an cried out in his heart, "Xiaojiu, I've tried my best, please come quickly."

"What are you waiting for? Maybe she won't come today."

"Why?" Ruan Jun'an wondered why his grandfather said that.

"Haven't you noticed that your uncle has been accompanying the princess on tours these days, and Xiaojiu has never shown up, nor has she come out to stop them. What does this mean? It may mean that Xiaojiu has already let go of your uncle. So don't worry about your uncle and Xiaojiu. What you should do now is to go to the main hall immediately and complete the procedures so that the two can leave." Ruan Guolong was anxious, but now Ruan Jun'an was the emperor, and he couldn't say too much, so he could only brainwash them slowly.

After hearing what his grandfather said, Ruan Siqi fell into deep thought. He had doubts about this matter before, but he didn't care at that time. Could it be that Xiaojiu really didn't want his uncle anymore? Even if he didn't like him anymore, he should show up and see him off.

Thinking of this, he said to Ruan Guolong, "Even if Xiaojiu agrees to my uncle's marriage, he should still come and see me off! Grandpa, don't you think this is a bit strange?"

"What could be so strange? Grandpa has inquired about it. Xiaojiu has been staying with that Wu Clan Saint these past few days. You don't know your sister yet. She's used to getting bored with the old and liking the new. Ever since that Saint went to the palace, your sister hasn't even left the palace."

"Is that so?" He was brainwashed by Ruan Guolong and was a little uncertain whether he should agree to let his uncle go.

Seeing Ruan Jun'an wavering, Ruan Guolong continued, "Grandfather has also given this matter careful consideration. Your uncle has gone to Zidan. At least for the short term, Zidan shouldn't start a war with us. After this period of time, when you have recuperated and strengthened your forces, the initiative will be in your hands. By then, no country will dare to threaten you. It will be easy for you to bring your uncle back."

Ruan Junan was silent.

Ruan Guolong continued, "You are the emperor now. You can't expect your sister to help you out in every situation. Don't you want to stand in front of your sister when something happens?"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that inspired Ruan Jun'an. Ruan Jun'an suddenly looked up and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Okay, then I will ask my uncle to go for the marriage first. When I have a foundation, no one can bully my Ruan family." After that, he stood up and strode out of the Yangxin Palace and headed for the Jinluan Palace.

Seeing that Ruan Jun'an agreed, Ruan Guolong looked at his departing back, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and followed him.
