Chapter 425: Wedding Robbery
“…”
The boy's hands slowly loosened and he remained silent for a long time.
Since that day, the two rarely saw each other again. Sang Luo was busy with social engagements and wedding preparations, and really had no time to comfort the sulking little fox. Yun Qi no longer came to disturb her, nor did he deliberately make trouble like before to attract her attention.
Too content.
This made Sang Luo a little uncomfortable.
Every time she fell asleep at night, she would dream of someone standing by her bed, gently caressing her face. When she woke up, that person had disappeared, as if he had never been there...
Sigh.
Anyway, she is leaving, so it is a good thing that the story ends here.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the weddings of the two tribes were almost ready.
As the young master of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, it is impossible for Yun Rong to marry into the Red Fox Clan.
Although the Red Fox Clan has developed into a major force in Qingqiu, and can even stand on the same level as those ancient mythical beast families in terms of status, it is still inferior to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan with noble blood. Logically, Princess Ji Wan should marry into the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, but the old patriarch of the Red Fox Clan has only this one precious female daughter, and is still waiting for his daughter to take over the clan business, so it is impossible for him to marry his daughter off.
The patriarchs of the two tribes had negotiated on the day of engagement and decided to let the newlyweds marry together, be each other's legal wife and husband, and not interfere with each other's marrying or taking concubines to continue the tribe's offspring.
Of course, if the newlyweds from both sides sign a partnership contract and stay together for life, the clan leaders of both sides will not object. However, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan is a race of divine beasts that has existed since ancient times. It is very difficult for them to conceive offspring. With the bloodline of the Red Fox Clan, it is probably difficult to conceive. At most, it will take thousands or tens of thousands of years to produce a hybrid fox beast, which is unlikely to bear the heavy responsibility of expanding the two clans.
This marriage is quite free.
Sang Luo did not sleep the night before her wedding and let the waiters dress her up.
Two large banquets will be held before and after the wedding.
A banquet was held in Guangfu City, the home of the Red Fox Clan. For the sake of convenience, Sang Luo simply booked it at the Princess's Mansion, which was big enough anyway.
The next banquet was held in Fancheng, the home of the Nine-tailed Fox clan.
In other words, after Sang Luo finished attending the wedding banquet of her own tribe, she still had to take the Hongluan wedding sedan chair to Fancheng, the home of the Nine-tailed Fox tribe. She had to go around in circles and was very busy.
At the wedding banquet of the little princess of the Red Fox tribe, the old tribe leader attached great importance to and was satisfied with this marriage, even more so than when he got married himself. He invited all the important figures of Qingqiu to attend, and the nobles from various famous families also gave face and sent gifts. Many beast king tribe leaders came in person with their families.
The banquet was grand and the wine flowed along the winding stream.
Several servants in the princess's mansion also gathered at the same table. They always competed for the princess's favor, but they did not mind the princess marrying a husband. After all, this day would come sooner or later, and it made no difference to them no matter who it was.
Yun Qi is not among them.
There is a rockery fountain at the back of the banquet hall. People are busy toasting each other at the banquet, so this place is quiet and deserted.
The young man was lying alone on the ground, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He was not good at drinking, and he had already finished the bottle of wine, with his cheeks flushed.
He heard footsteps beside him and looked up intently.
A man in a green robe walked over with a large jar of wine.
He has a tall and straight figure and an ordinary face, but his aura is extremely extraordinary, especially his crabapple red eyes, with a light blue tint around his pupils, which are extremely gorgeous and eye-catching.
...disguise.
The fox clan is good at illusions and is also good at seeing through illusions.
Yun Qi's expression remained calm, but a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. "Are you also a distinguished guest of the Princess's Mansion? I haven't seen you at the banquet."
"Haha, there are so many people at the banquet, and I'm just an ordinary person." The man smiled and said, "I am an acquaintance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I have helped Her Royal Highness a lot."
"Since you are a distinguished guest invited by Your Highness, you are also my distinguished guest. Please tell me if there is any inadequacy in our hospitality. Why is you not enjoying the dance at the banquet, or are you lost?" The vigilance in Yun Qi's eyes faded slightly. He stood up and saluted with a gentle smile.
"Well, this princess's mansion is quite big. You won't be able to find your way back once you go out. The scenery here is also nice. It is much more relaxing than that crowded and noisy banquet. Why don't you come and have a couple of drinks with me?" said the man.
Yun Qi declined politely, "I am not very good at drinking, so I won't disturb you."
He turned to leave, but the man stepped forward to stop him, "Wait, I have something else to ask you."
A cold look flashed in Yun Qi's eyes, and his fingertips moved. He heard the man in front of him say doubtfully, "When I saw you from afar, I thought it was the young master of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. When I got closer, I realized I was wrong. Are you and the young master brothers?"
The scar on Yun Qi's face has faded a lot and does not affect his appearance from a distance. His eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of the young master of Qingqiu. Apart from brothers born from the same birth, it is impossible for two people in this world to be so similar.
"I didn't know that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has two young masters!" the man exclaimed.
Yun Qi had a blank expression on his face. "Does your honorable guest have anything else to say?"
The man lifted the wine jar, poured a full bowl of wine, and handed it to him. "I have another question. I heard that when the princess married you, she only gave you the title of a concubine, while your brother, who was born to the same mother as you, was able to marry the princess openly and become her legal husband. His status is higher than yours. Aren't you envious?"
The young man said calmly, "This is the princess's decision. No one else has the right to interfere."
"Haha, okay, then I should change my words." The man asked for trouble, drank the wine in his hand, and raised the corner of his lips wickedly.
"Don't you hate it?"
The young man shuddered, his cold gaze piercing him like a sharp blade, and he shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense in the Princess's mansion!"
"Haven't you ever thought in your heart that it would be great if you could replace your brother? Don't you want to switch identities with him? Let him experience everything you've suffered!" The man's voice seemed to carry some kind of strange temptation.
…
Before leaving, he handed the young man a visiting card and said, "If you need anything, you can come to me. I am always here to accompany you."
Yun Qi lowered his head and looked at the visiting card in his hand.
There were only three words written on it——
Yeque Pavilion.
He looked in the direction the man had left, but he had already disappeared without a trace.
He had heard of this place before, but who was this person...?
After the three-day banquet, Sang Luo was supposed to leave for Fancheng the next morning. Tonight might be her last night here. She thought of the little fox she hadn't seen in ages and wanted to see him again to say goodbye. But when she arrived at the Plum Blossom Garden, she couldn't find him.
Kong said that the young master left two days ago and he didn't know where he went.
Sang Luo felt regretful but helpless.
The next morning, she wore her wedding dress and stepped into the bridal sedan surrounded by people.
As soon as she lifted the curtain and stepped into the sedan chair, Sang Luo noticed another aura in the sedan chair!
She was horrified, and before she could see who it was, a hand pulled her into his arms.
