Chapter 334: Rain and Dew
Jiu Feng blushed as she listened, and she also looked down at her own figure, only to find that it was not as exaggerated as the king said...
Li Qing was furious when he saw this. He suddenly held Jiu Feng down again and said with a chuckle, "I still have some strength left..."
The next day.
The Emperor’s morning court.
Last night, Li Qing asked the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department to have the maid measure Jiufeng's body size.
Sure enough, the few wedding dresses left in the Imperial Household Department were too big for Jiufeng to wear, as they were more than one size too small!
This also proves that Li Qing's vision is correct.
However, it takes about eight days to make a new wedding dress.
Therefore, Li Qing decided to marry the great witch Jiufeng as his imperial concubine ten days later.
Officially announced the legalization of marriage between humans and witches
Just wait until today to inform all the ministers, and then inform the entire Shenzhou.
"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty."
Li Qingan sat on the throne, looking down, and all the ministers saluted.
"Everyone, please stand."
Li Qing raised his hand calmly, and then, without waiting for the ministers to report on their work, he smiled and said, "My dear ministers, I have a great announcement to make today."
"oh?"
As soon as Li Qing said this, hundreds of court officials looked at him sideways, all with puzzled expressions on their faces.
What kind of happy event can be called a great joy by His Majesty?
Li Qing smiled and said, "Didn't I issue an edict a few days ago that the human race and the witch race should live in peace and stop fighting each other? So, to set an example for the world, in ten days I will marry Miss Jiufeng, one of the few remaining great witches of the witch clan, as my imperial concubine. In this way, all the witches in the world will surely be united and have no more doubts!"
"What?"
"Marry the Great Witch?"
"Jiufeng? Who is Jiufeng?"
“This, this, this…”
"How could it be such a coincidence... It's only been a few days since the imperial edict was issued, and already the Great Wu Jiufeng wants to marry?"
For a moment, the entire court became noisy.
Li Qing's words made these ministers a little confused!
What is a role model? Marrying a woman from the Wu clan?
How long has it been?
I'm afraid the decree of amnesty for the Witch Clan has not yet spread throughout the world.
How did you hook up with a great witch woman so quickly?
One of Bigan and Shang Rong had suspicion in his eyes, while the other one frowned and looked at Li Qing.
He said loudly, "Your Majesty, this witch woman has just been acquainted with you. But Your Majesty has been staying in the palace all the time, so how could you have the time to get to know the Great Witch?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qing spoke frankly, "Of course we haven't just met. Miss Jiufeng and I have known each other for several years. It's just that due to the gap between humans and witches, the lovers have been unable to become a couple. But now that I have issued an edict and you all agree, there is no need to hide this matter. My union with Jiufeng will set an example for the world and mark the beginning of the coexistence of humans and witches."
He said this without blushing or being nervous, but rather with a sense of righteousness. Li Qing himself felt that if they did not agree to this, they would be making enemies with the whole world.
Shang Rongzhi's face was dazed as he listened. He looked at Li Qing for a moment before saying, "My king, although the decree has been issued, you are the head of the human race, but marrying a witch is not a good idea, right? I'm afraid this will make the witches all over the world feel proud."
Li Qing laughed heartily and said, "Prime Minister Shang, you're worrying too much. The witch tribe has long been decimated and depleted. How can they still exist? Now that I've married the Great Witch Jiufeng, they will only feel comforted and recognized. There's no chance of complacency. In the future, when humans and witches unite and become indistinguishable, the witch tribe will gradually disappear. Within a thousand years, there will be no witch tribe left in the land of China, only humans."
"Your Majesty, what is the origin of this Nine Phoenix? Is it worthy of the King? Could it possibly represent the witch tribe of the world?"
It was the old man You Ping who trembled as he stood up from his seat. He looked at Li Qing and said solemnly, "If it was a small witch clan, I'm afraid they wouldn't be worthy of the king's status as the emperor. How could they be married?"
You Ping, as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, places the utmost importance on etiquette. He has no idea who Jiufeng is, her origins, or status. If she were just an ordinary witch, why would she marry him? If His Majesty were to take her as a concubine, that would be fine. There's no need to mobilize a large force.
Li Qing smiled and said, "Old You, the origin of Jiufeng is very great, and his status is not inferior to mine."
"oh?"
The ministers were surprised.
Is there a great wizard in the world whose status is not inferior to that of the Human Emperor?
Li Qing said, "Jiufeng is the daughter of Jiuying, a great witch from ancient times!"
"Jiuying? But Chiyou was the leader of the Jiuying tribe of the Jiuli tribe!"
Bigan raised his eyebrows for a moment and asked with a cry of surprise.
At that time, the Jiuli tribe had a total of eighty-one tribes. Chiyou was the recognized chief, and Jiuying was the second!
Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes, she is the patriarch of the Jiuying tribe, the Great Wu Jiuying. Therefore, Jiufeng's status is not weaker than mine. She is the eldest princess of the Wu tribe. After all, Chi You has no bloodline left."
"I see……"
Bigan nodded, looking relieved.
You Ping also nodded and said: "The bloodline of Jiuying is naturally the royal family of the Jiuli tribe. If this is the case, then there is no point for me to be a minister."
When Shang Rong saw that everyone stopped talking, anxiety suddenly appeared in his eyes.
In just a month, the king has already married Xueling of the Snow Clan and Shiji of the Demon Clan. How could you have forgotten? Now he wants to marry Jiufeng again. If he continues at this pace, wouldn't he marry dozens of women in a year?
But he had no excuse to refute it.
Otherwise, it would be a deliberate destruction of the harmony between the human and witch tribes.
Seeing that Shang Rong was hesitant to speak, Bigan smiled and gave Shang Rong a look.
Shang Rong was confused for a moment, but he understood that he wanted him to be quiet, so he sighed and stopped talking.
Li Qing was delighted to see that all the ministers were speechless. This time everything went smoothly. Well, as long as he did things for the greater good, these old guys wouldn't be able to stop him. In the future, he would definitely think carefully about how to make things sound legitimate.
So he smiled and said, "Since you all have no objection, then I will announce that I will marry the Great Wu Jiufeng in ten days. This matter will be announced to the world, and all the Wu people must know that their eldest princess, the Great Wu Jiufeng, will marry me. There will be no more disputes between the human race and the Wu people. This is true, and I am not lying to them!"
"Your Highness, we obey your command."
The ministers bowed and accepted the order.
Afterwards, Li Qing began to formally handle affairs. After half an hour, the morning court was dismissed.
However, everyone withdrew from the court and dispersed. After leaving the hall, Shang Rong hurriedly called out to Bigan, walked over and frowned and asked, "Bigan, why are you asking me to stop talking? Your Majesty has married three concubines in just one month. This is simply unheard of!"
Upon hearing this, Bigan laughed heartily and said, "Prime Minister, let me ask you, do you want His Majesty to favor only one person, or to treat everyone equally?"
