The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

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

Ruan Jun'an had the two concubines present with him. Such an occasion was impossible without them. He brought the two concubines to the main hall, followed by Ruan Guolong. The eunuchs shouted, "Your Majesty, the concubines are here. The Grand Tutor is here."

Ruan Junan sat on the dragon throne, the imperial concubines sat on both sides, and Ruan Guolong, as the grand tutor, sat in the lower right position.

All the ministers fell silent, stood in salute, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, and long live His Majesty."

Ruan Jun'an looked at the court below, filled with emotion. "No need to bow." The ministers thanked him and stood up.

Ruan Jun'an looked at his uncle, who looked unhappy, and then turned to look at Ruan Guolong. He said seriously, "Grandpa, this marriage was unavoidable. Everything is for the stability and development of the country. I hope that if there are any marriages like this in the future, Grandpa will not interfere in the selection of the candidates."

Ruan Guolong's face froze slightly. His grandson seemed to think he was meddling in other people's affairs, not even considering who he was doing this for. However, he agreed, "I understand. Your Majesty is right. After this matter is over, I will retire and no longer interfere in court affairs." Ruan Guolong's voice was filled with resignation and vicissitudes. For a moment, Ruan Jun'an felt like an unfilial son.

At this time, the princess below saw that the emperor was only talking to the Grand Tutor and not following the formalities, so she couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, can you wait until the ceremony is completed and the princess and the prince consort leave before talking to the Grand Tutor? It's getting late."

Ruan Jun'an was really unhappy with the princess's rude interruption of his conversation with the Grand Tutor. He glanced at her and said in a cold voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? The Ninth Prince hasn't arrived yet. Even if the ceremony is completed, you can't leave."

The princess raised an eyebrow, her voice filled with disdain. "Ninth Prince? Is the emperor referring to Ruan Xiaojiu, the womanizer who spends her days indulging in debauchery and lust? Waiting for her? I think it's better to forget it. Let's complete the ceremony quickly. Has the emperor forgotten the purpose of this marriage?"

Ruan Siqi frowned upon hearing Princess Zidan's malicious comments about Ruan Xiaojiu, and he felt even less fond of the princess. But he had no status, no position, and his words were of little consequence. He lowered his eyes, hiding his discontent, and quietly waited for the necessary procedures.

When Ruan Xiaojiu was mentioned, he couldn't help but wonder if Xiaojiu was with that Saint. Wouldn't he come to see him for the last time? He felt a little sad for some reason.

When Ruan Jun'an heard that Princess Zidan dared to openly slander Xiaojiu in front of him, anger appeared on his face and he looked at the princess below with cold eyes, as if he wanted to torture her to death.

Isn't it just bullying him because his country is unstable and weak, isn't it bullying him because he doesn't have strong soldiers and generals! He endured it, thinking of his grandfather's words, he had to endure it. He suppressed his anger and said calmly, "The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet, the princess can't help but be anxious."

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived. Please witness the union of the Princess and the Princess."

Ruan Jun'an heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said helplessly, "Then let's get started!"

The master of ceremonies took out the speech he had prepared long ago and read it aloud slowly in the presence of the emperor and the ministers.

After a congratulatory speech, it was time for the two to exchange tokens. These were a pair of marriage bracelets brought by the princess. Princess Zidan had purchased them at great expense from a member of the Wu tribe. The male bracelet was imbued with a child Gu, a type of love-inducing insect. Upon wearing it, the insect automatically enters the wearer's body, dedicating them exclusively to their wife. The princess purchased these bracelets to keep Ruan Siqi by her side, forever inseparable. The female bracelet was exquisite and compact, while the male bracelet was elegantly toned, making them a match.

A palace maid brought the bracelets and slowly opened them. The princess put them on Ruan Siqi's wrists without hesitation. The bracelets shrank instantly, and a tiny poisonous insect crawled out from them, but it could not penetrate Ruan Siqi's skin or enter her body. The princess was unaware of all this.

Ruan Siqi slowly picked up the other one, looked at her father, hesitated for a moment, then took the princess's hand and put it on. The bracelet was the same as Ruan Siqi's, and it also changed size instantly, but the insect inside was a female insect.

Ruan Siqi felt calm inside. If this was what her father wanted, then so be it.

The princess looked at the bracelet on her wrist and stroked it happily. She turned around, hugged Ruan Siqi, and said excitedly, "Prince Consort, you will be mine from now on."

"Who do you say is yours?" a cold voice came.
