Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1604: Chapter 1605: A Different Engagement

At the same time, a golden light suddenly rose in the Imperial Palace!

It was the protective formation of the Imperial Capital, temporarily activated after modifications!

In an instant, the golden light enveloped the Imperial Capital, and moments later, spiritual power petals began to gather within the light, various petals falling from the sky, covering the entire capital!

”Boom!”

Suddenly, a cannon sound!

It was the sound of the Spirit Power Cannon!

But with this cannon sound, in an instant, over nine thousand Spirit Power Cannons arranged in the capital roared simultaneously!

Fortunately, this time it was not an actual battle; the Emperor just wanted to hear the sound, so the spiritual power consumption was not great, but the simultaneous roar of over nine thousand cannons was still frightening!

”Rise!”

After the third cannon sound, Yun Liancheng directly ordered, and immediately, eighteen warriors lifted the platform where Ye Luo stood, a platform made of special materials, extremely luxurious, with dazzling colorful light constantly flashing, while dragon and phoenix danced, with the phantoms of myriad birds and beasts appearing and disappearing around Ye Luo!

Those phantoms were lively and vivid, appearing for a moment and disappearing in the next, continuously cycling, dazzling the eyes!

”Swish, swish, swish!”

Countless ceremonial mechanisms burst out, directly lining up neatly on both sides of the street, and as Ye Luo advanced, these ceremonial robots would spew dazzling fireworks!

Suddenly, the platform where Ye Luo stood slowly ascended, and those eighteen warriors, each an absolute powerhouse, were carrying Ye Luo, moving towards the palace along the street, just so that more people could see Ye Luo!

Today, in the entire Imperial Capital, only Ye Luo could rise in the air; anyone else daring to do so would be directly charged with treason!

A host of beautiful maidens emerged from Ye Luo’s mansion, singing, dancing, or playing music, making quite a lively scene.

These maidens were palace maids from the court’s music bureau, serving only Ye Luo today!

Immortal music echoed, and light streamed across the sky, leaving the people of Great Tang awestruck!

Who has ever seen such a spectacular scene!

Bear in mind, just the personnel from Ye Luo’s side alone amounted to nearly one hundred thousand, let alone the people respectively dispatched by the Royal Family, Chen Family, and Xiaoyao King’s mansion!

The Emperor of Great Tang loves grandiosity; from the arrangements he made for Ye Luo, one can see the clues.

And let alone himself, meanwhile, countless chefs, singers, dancers, and entertainment performers collected from across the land had already made the palace lively.

And the Emperor of Great Tang eagerly ran to the palace’s main gate to watch the festivities outside, leaving the civil and military officials having no choice but to follow him, thus thousands of people gathered at the palace gate!

Those are usually rare to see high officials, but today they all gathered here!

As for the Chen Family, being one of the four major clans in Tang Dynasty, they naturally held a competitive advantage, apart from the Royal Family.

So at this moment, the Chen Family was not willing to fall behind and maybe due to rivalry, they and Xiaoyao King both didn’t send their daughters to the palace to wait for Ye Luo but timed their departure to arrive at the palace before Ye Luo!

The Chen Family displayed a military formation, mobilizing nearly fifty thousand private soldiers, drills and advancing in synchronization, turning the engagement into a mighty spectacle, with a momentum unmatched even by the palace!

Xiaoyao King, in fact, didn’t care about competition; his daughter was long betrothed to Ye Luo, saying that had the Emperor not seized the wedding, Princess Ling Xue should have sat there waiting for the other two daughters to greet her!

Unfortunately, it happened to be the Emperor who seized the wedding, which upset Xiaoyao King and added to the Emperor’s antics and Chen Family’s provocation, it infuriated Xiaoyao King!

You want to compete in grandeur?

What does Xiaoyao King do? He’s the overseer of all logistics in Great Tang, whether civilian or military, all logistics fall under Xiaoyao King’s control, could he possibly lack good things?

So at this moment, coming from Xiaoyao King’s mansion were various high-tech puppets people had never seen before, or fearsome beasts tamed from unknown origins, countless beasts and birds in the sky and on the ground, and Xiaoyao King specially organized a parade of a hundred tribes!

Over a hundred different races dressed in their unique costumes, following behind Ling Xue, competing for attention, undoubtedly Xiaoyao King’s side winning out, knowing that what Xiaoyao King presented were things most people had never witnessed!

Not only in the Imperial Capital but this engagement was broadcast with virtual projection across the nation, indulging the people of Great Tang to their heart’s content.

Of course, jealousy and envy abound.

The Grand Princess and Ling Xue, already the goddesses in countless hearts, were now both wed to Ye Luo, leaving many hearts broken.

And Ye Luo himself was not without fame; in the hearts of the people, Ye Luo’s reputation was already significant, hence at this moment, countless young maidens were crying in their boudoirs.

This was definitely a wedding of the century, even though it was just an engagement, but due to the Emperor, Chen Family, and Xiaoyao King’s veiled rivalry, this engagement was the grandest wedding since the founding of Great Tang, even outshining the founding ceremony!

Ye Luo, expressionless, it should be a happy occasion, yet Ye Luo was not happy; among the three women, only Ling Xue was familiar to him, he had only met the Grand Princess once, and the Chen Family’s young lady, Ye Luo now realized it was Chen Siqi.

Ye Luo was confident he could cure Chen Siqi, so strictly speaking, they were three great beauties.

If it weren’t for the current procession-like behavior, Ye Luo would be very happy.

...

The three processions arrived at the Imperial Palace successively, and when Ye Luo reached the palace gates, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Throughout the journey, he was pointed at and discussed by countless people, although Ye Luo clearly knew, they were well-meaning, from their smiles Ye Luo could feel their blessings, but after all, being watched by tens of thousands, that feeling was truly overwhelming!

Yet, when Ye Luo came to the palace gates, he was speechless once again!

In fact, this wasn’t arranged by the Emperor, but right as Ye Luo landed and prepared to enter the palace gates, several officials loudly proclaimed: ”Greet His Highness Ninth Prince, congratulations on His Highness Ninth Prince’s joyous wedding!”
