Chapter 859 What’s going on?

"I can't believe that such a young and frail girl could actually beat the Ninth Prince with just two punches, making him beg for mercy and spit out blood, with all his bones broken."

"The Ninth Prince also said that it's not shameful to lose to this woman. God knows how strong she is! I can't tell at all."

"Luckily, the Ninth Prince is a war wizard with strong recovery abilities. Even though all his bones are broken, they can be healed in a few days. If it were someone else, they would be doomed if their bones were broken."

"The Da'an Kingdom has been growing stronger recently, and even its women are so powerful. It is the right choice for our Da Rong Kingdom to make peace with them, so a marriage is a good thing. We must hope that the Third Princess lives a long life!"

…

The third princess sat in a luxurious wedding sedan carried by sixteen people. The curtains were made of light gauze, layered and looming. The third princess also wore a veil on her face. The people only felt the nobility and holiness of the third princess and did not dare to point fingers.

When we arrived at the palace, we came to the Jiantiansi.

Jiantiansi is the department in charge of sacrificial rituals and grand solar terms. The marriage between the two countries is a national event, so they must first come here to worship their ancestors and perform grand ceremonies.

This part is not easy.

The Darong Kingdom used to be a barbarian country. After signing a treaty with the Da'an Kingdom, the two countries began to trade and marry each other, and gradually learned some of the Da'an Kingdom's etiquette and customs.

After a series of procedures, the newlyweds had already worshipped heaven and earth and received the blessings of the court officials.

The next step is to go to the wizard tower.

The high priest guides the blessing power from the totem tree to bless the two newlyweds.

Generally, when royal newlyweds get married, important members will receive this treatment.

Before, the totem tree was in a state of decline and lacked spiritual power, so all baptisms and blessings for the newlyweds were unnecessary. Now that it has been activated, it is growing vigorously and full of spiritual power, so the royal family has opened up this ceremony.

The Jiantian Division was not far from the Wizard Tower, so everyone walked directly there.

Jiang Lianzhu and the others were waiting outside, and only the high priest led Prince Wu Su and the third princess inside.

The door to the wizard's tower was wide open.

People outside can look inside and see a thing or two.

The third princess followed behind Prince Wu Su, looking at the scene inside the wizard tower, feeling a little uneasy.

Jiang Lianzhu wanted to send a secret message to the third princess, telling her to cheer up and not be afraid.

After thinking about it, it’s not necessary.

The third princess should have been prepared for the path she insisted on taking.

The high priest inside asked the newlyweds to stand under the totem tree and began to chant spells.

The totem tree still looks as vibrant and in good condition as it did yesterday.

However, Jiang Lianzhu had an illusion that the totem tree was not as powerful in magic as it was yesterday. It could not be said that it had completely lost its magic power, but it seemed to have lost something key.

Others can't see it.

King Darong and his queen were also standing nearby.

King Darong still had a smile on his face, but the queen looked a little unhappy.

The queen whispered, "It's not like I'm marrying a wife, so why do I need to open the wizard tower? Seriously, it's only been needed to marry a princess. The totem tree's curse was just removed a few days ago, and it needs to be opened today. Isn't it a waste every time it's opened?"

King Darong coughed lightly, signaling the queen to shut up.

"A marriage between two countries is a major event and deserves this kind of treatment. The totem tree is not lacking in this little bit of magical power."

Then, he said to Jiang Lianzhu with a smile, "Princess Fu'an, don't worry, the third princess will be the daughter-in-law of our Darong Kingdom in the future, and we will never treat her unfairly."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded and said, "Thank you very much in advance."

The high priest had almost finished his spell, and everyone was waiting for a miracle to happen.

After waiting for a while, only a circle of magical light flashed on the totem tree, and then, there was nothing.

Jiang Lianzhu had sharp ears and heard the old ministers talking behind her.

"Strange! What's going on? Why isn't the totem tree reacting? Shouldn't the newcomer's body glow?"

"Yes, every time the totem tree blessed the newlyweds, it would bathe them in a layer of moonlight, sometimes in the shape of a heart. Why didn't I see that today?"

"Could it be that the totem tree hasn't fully recovered yet? But that's not right. Before, when the totem tree was weak, we saw it blessing the newlyweds, but the light wasn't very bright. Look, this time, there's no light at all on the newlyweds."

"Or maybe the high priest recited the spell wrong..."

"You're kidding! How could that be possible? It's always this high priest who's been doing it for years."

…

On the other side, the high priest saw that the totem had no reaction, so he suspected that he had recited the spell incorrectly and started to recite it a second time.

Jiang Lianzhu only felt a strange and unfamiliar feeling in herself.

She actually knew how to bless the newlyweds?

And there is also the urge to give blessings to the newlyweds.

She suppressed her urge to bless the newlyweds!

What's going on?

She herself was completely baffled. How could she understand these incantations? Basically, they were praying to the totem tree to bless the royal descendants...

…

Over there, the high priest finished reciting it for the second time, but the totem tree still did not respond.

The crowd was shocked.

"Either the totem tree hasn't recovered yet, or the totem tree doesn't bless the newlyweds. There have been cases of totem trees not blessing newlyweds before."

"Could it be that the friendship between the two countries is not approved by heaven's will?"

"Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing such discussions from the public, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help it.

This will have a great impact on the third princess's future.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help it, she channeled her own magical power and connected her mind to the totem tree.

The light on the totem tree suddenly turned, and the light visibly flowed towards the two newlyweds.

"Hehe!! I was so scared! It turns out the totem tree was slow to react. Or maybe it was God's will that helped me!"

"That's right. Our two countries have had good relations for many years. How can we not be optimistic?"

In the past, Da'an was weaker and Darong was stronger. Now, Darong is in decline due to its royal totem tree, while the young emperor of Da'an is destined to succeed the country and the country is strong. Da'an also has a ninth-level warrior. The status of the two has been swapped.

Now many people in the Darong Kingdom are still willing to make friends with the Da'an Kingdom.

Even if it's just for good luck, I'll feel at ease.

The high priest above also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next procedure continues.

After Jiang Lianzhu connected to the totem tree, she sensed several gazes from all directions, all filled with suspicion.

She remained calm and acted as if nothing had happened.

After all the procedures at the palace of the newlyweds were completed, they were sent to Prince Wu Su's residence. Everyone followed them there, and lunch was also held at Prince Wu Su's residence. Jiang Lianzhu and King Darong sat at the upper seats, and the newlyweds toasted them.

It's very lively.

Prince Wu Su's mansion is quite large, with many courtyards and rooms. The houses in the Darong Kingdom are all built with large stones, which are tall, solid and windproof. The prince's mansion is different from the royal palace. It does not have the grandeur of a royal palace. It is mainly practical. The solid and tall stone houses are decorated with silks and satins, which are gorgeous and festive.
