Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

After everyone had sat down, Zhang Chaofan looked at Emperor Ba with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you can come to our mansion in person, it really makes our mansion brilliant!"

Emperor Ba nodded slightly and responded: "I have three purposes for coming here today. The first is naturally to congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Fan and the princesses on their happy marriage and eternal union; the second is to make a special trip to visit the Xiao family of the royal family of the Nanwei Empire. Ancestor and all the senior masters; as for the third one... I want to confer Bai Qilin as the noble princess of our empire!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chaofan quickly stood up, bowed deeply towards Ba Huang and saluted with thanks: "Thank you for your majesty's love and gift, I am grateful!" Then he turned around and ordered the people in the mansion to go and invite him quickly. Xiao Junhong, the ancestor of the Xiao family of the royal family of the Nanwei Empire, and his party gathered in the main hall of the palace.

Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from far away and approaching from outside the palace. In a moment, Xiao Junhong, the ancestor of the Xiao family of the Southern Empire royal family, and his entourage had already entered the main hall. Zhang Chaofan enthusiastically welcomed them to their seats and settled them down. After everything was ready, he personally acted as the middleman and introduced each party to both parties.

Throughout the introduction process, Ba Huang always maintained a humble and low-key attitude. Whenever Zhang Chaofan introduced a relative or friend to him, Ba Huang would take the initiative to bend down, make a deep bow, and say respectfully: "Junior, please send greetings to senior!" This polite and humble performance impressed everyone present. Everyone was impressed.

In interpersonal communication, there is often such a phenomenon: others respect me a foot, and I respect others a foot. Faced with such a low-profile salute from Emperor Ba, Xiao Junhong, the ancestor of the Xiao family of the royal family of the Southern Empire, and others naturally did not neglect it and gave adequate responses one after another. They also returned the favor in a friendly and polite manner, giving Zhang Chaofan enough face and showing enough respect for the people associated with him. With this coming and going, the atmosphere in the hall became particularly harmonious and harmonious.

The warm greetings between the two parties made the meeting full of joy and joy. Everyone had a smile on their face, and it was as cordial and natural as if old friends reunited after not seeing each other for many years. In this process, everyone not only enhanced their understanding of each other, but also established a precious friendship.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyun and the other four brides-to-be came to the main hall slowly after getting dressed up. Zhang Chaofan asked Lin Xiaoyun to lead the three women to salute Ba Huang. Emperor Ba gave each of them a piece of exquisite jewelry as a gift for meeting them. After the reward was completed, Emperor Ba ordered his attendants to take out the canonization edict that had been prepared and read it in public: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ba Empire has decreed that he will adopt Bai Qilin, a citizen girl, as his adopted daughter, and confer her as Princess Qilin. She will be treated as the same as those in the imperial state." Wait for this, princess!”

After the attendant read out, he held the imperial edict of canonization in both hands, looked at the sky, and called Bai Qilin to come forward to receive the edict. Bai Qilin has always been unruly, so she jumped up, flashed in the air, and came to the Ba Emperor's attendants. She stretched out her hand to grab the canonization decree in her hand, and shouted: "Haha, my aunt also has a title in the Ba Kingdom. , she is also a princess!" The attendant kept looking at the sky with defiant posture for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Seeing this, Huang Ba showed a slightly displeased look on his face, but it passed quickly, and then he laughed heartily and rescued himself: "Haha, my goddaughter, Princess Qilin, is really a very human being. Such strength is hard to find in the world. ." Bai Qilin also understood what was going on. She came to Ba Huang and bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your love. My father is right. If anyone dares to harm my father, I will be invincible." It doesn't matter, I will make it look good."

Hearing what Bai Qilin said, the Mahayana masters such as Xiao Junhong, the ancestor of the Xiao family of the imperial family in the south, secretly estimated in their hearts and did not dare to speak out hastily. They felt that if they were to compete alone, Bai Qilin might be truly invincible. In order to further win over Zhang Chaofan and Bai Qilin and stabilize his throne, Emperor Ba took out five storage rings from his body and handed them to Zhang Chaofan. He left one behind and gave it to Bai Qilin personally, and also to Lin Xiaoyun and Xiao. The three sisters waved to them to come forward and each was rewarded with a ring.

Lin Xiaoyun led the Xiao sisters to salute and thank Ba Huang. Emperor Ba laughed loudly and said: "It's just a small gift, I hope all the princesses will accept it." In fact, the storage ring given by Emperor Ba contains many treasures of heaven and earth, which are the best and most valuable that Emperor Ba can offer at the moment. Precious things, Emperor Ba wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Zhang Chaofan and others with generous gifts to eliminate the threat to the throne from Zhang Chaofan, making Zhang Chaofan the guarantee of his throne and making the throne more stable. From this point of view, this Ba Huang is a suspicious person by nature. Little did he know that Zhang Chaofan regarded the throne, which he valued very much, as a burden.

At this moment, Ba Huang felt the power of Prince Fan and his palace. He knew clearly in his heart that he did not have enough power to restrain and control Zhang Chaofan, and he could not find an effective way to eliminate this threat from the other party. A huge threat to the throne. Faced with such a predicament, Emperor Ba had to choose to be patient for the time being, even putting aside his dignity and status, and tried his best to close the relationship with Zhang Chaofan, hoping to resolve this possible throne crisis through this method.

However, in fact, as smart as Zhang Chaofan, he had already smelled something unusual in Ba Huang's series of behaviors. He was keenly aware that Emperor Ba had actually begun to have doubts and suspicions about him. This feeling was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, keeping Zhang Chaofan on high alert at all times.

Therefore, in order to dispel Emperor Ba's doubts, Zhang Chaofan said to Emperor Ba: "Your Majesty, thank you for your great love for me and my four wives. Princess Lin Xiaoyun and I are relatives of the emperor. As long as you admit it, we are members of the royal family. From my mother's side, you are her cousin, so you are my great-uncle, and Princess Yun is your niece. From these relationships, we have blood ties. . Therefore, as long as we, the younger generation, can do our best, we will definitely protect His Majesty’s throne forever.”

When Ba Huang heard Zhang Chaofan's words of affection and assurance, he was immediately overjoyed. He stroked the beard on his chin and said, "We are a family. With outstanding descendants like you, our royal family's status in Ba Huang Kingdom Naturally, it is as stable as a rock." Zhang Chaofan said: "Your Majesty, I am only coming back to hold the wedding. After the wedding is over, we will go out and travel, and we will not stay in Bahuang Kingdom for a long time. However, even if a few of us are away, if something happens to Your Majesty. "You can rely on the power I have left in the palace and the power of the Sixth Prince. As long as your Majesty makes good use of these two forces, I believe that there will be nothing difficult to solve in the Bahuang Kingdom. The strength of the Prince's Palace will be at the disposal of the Sixth Prince." Zhang Chaofan had no intention of staying in Ba for a long time. Emperor Ba became more at ease and confident in speaking.

After everyone talked for a while, Emperor Ba said: "I would like to congratulate the young people once again on their happy weddings, eternal marriage, and the birth of precious children! Due to the busy affairs of the country, I will no longer be present in person on your wedding banquet." After that, Ba Huang The emperor stood up, bowed to Xiao Junhong, the ancestor of the Xiao family, and others of the royal family of the Southern Empire, and bowed again with the courtesy of a junior. Then he said goodbye. After achieving his goal, he returned to the palace with satisfaction.

After Emperor Ba left, Zhang Chaofan chatted with Xiao Junhong, the ancestor of the Xiao family of the royal family of the Nanwei Empire, and others, and then invited them to go to their residence to rest on their own.

The next day, August 4th, there were only two days left before the official wedding, and all preparations were being carried out in an orderly manner. Even Lin Xiaoyun's two personal maids, Hongye and Luzhi, who were about to graduate from Bahuang College, came to Prince Fan's Mansion to help after learning that she was about to get married. Lin Xiaoyun told them that special personnel have been assigned to take care of all matters, so Hongye and Luzhi only need to concentrate on dressing up for her.

Zhang Chaofan hopes to give his woman a perfect wedding, so he is a little worried about the wedding preparations. Therefore, he inspected his palace early in the morning and found any omissions. If it could be solved quickly, he would make up for it himself. If it took a long time, he would remind the person responsible for preparation to do it according to his own ideas.
