Chapter 43 On the day of conferring the title, all nations came to congratulate

Zhao Mu's mansion is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns today, creating a festive atmosphere.

Many court ministers came early to offer congratulations.

The mansion was extremely noisy, and the street in front of the door was also crowded with people, many of whom rushed to watch the fun!

"The imperial edict arrives..."

Following a sharp sound, a row of golden-armored guards broke through the crowd and arrived at the gate of Laidu Mansion.

"Ninth Prince Zhao Mu accepts the order!"

Zhao Mu heard the voice and hurried out!
"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, declares: The Ninth Prince Zhao Mu is a man of both talent and virtue, who is very much like me. He is hereby conferred the title of Prince Mu, inherits the title of Prince of a County, enjoys the salary of a Prince, and is granted the city of Yan. He shall take office immediately!"

"Also, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has granted the Ninth Prince Zhao Mu the marriage with the Princess Yunluo of the Ming Dynasty. The marriage will be completed soon!"

"Furthermore, King Xu Xiao of Beiliang has made great contributions and has made outstanding contributions. I hereby grant Xu Xiao's second daughter, Xu Weixiong, as the Princess of Mu. I decree this!"

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations from all around.

"The Ninth Prince and the Princess of Daming are married?"

"I heard that Princess Yunluo is the most beloved sister of the Ming Emperor, and they are born of the same mother. The Ming Emperor actually took the initiative to ask for marriage. What is so special about this Ninth Prince?"

"I don't know much about Princess Daming, but the second daughter of the King of Beiliang, Xu Weixiong, is the top of the Rouge List and has unparalleled talent. Now she has been given to the Ninth Prince as a princess by the Emperor of Liyang. Will the King of Beiliang agree?"

"I don't know whether the King of Beiliang will agree or not, but if I were to, I would definitely agree. She's the top of the Rouge Ranking! The most beautiful woman in the world! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"You are really a toad dreaming of riding a frog, you are ugly but you want to be beautiful! How talented is Xu Weixiong? How can you covet him?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Mu, who was handsome and dressed in new clothes in the distance, and their eyes were filled with envy.

Just as Zhao Mu put on the python robe, a group of big snow dragon riders cleared the way and slowly walked towards them in the distance!

The leader had white hair and beard, but had an extraordinary bearing. He rode a tall horse, had a gilded sword at his waist, wore a robe with a five-clawed python pattern on it, and wore a red jade and purple gauze crown on his head.

Seeing this scene, how could everyone not know who the visitor is?
In the entire Liyang, there is only one person dressed like this!
King Xu Xiao of Beiliang!
As soon as this butcher, who had made a great name for himself in the underworld, arrived, the whole street fell silent in an instant!
"The King of Beiliang has arrived—"

"To congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Mu, I am offering a thousand pieces of brocade, ten thousand ounces of gold, and two boxes of jewels!"

A general stepped forward and waved his hand. Behind him, a row of carriages carrying large boxes slowly drove up.

The box was opened, and the jewels and precious stones shone everywhere, dazzling the eyes of everyone around.

"How much is this worth?"

"Give me a million ounces of gold, and I won't have to worry about anything in my next life!"

"Superficial, the King of Beiliang coming here means he has agreed to the royal marriage. What does this little money mean to him if he can marry the King of Beiliang?"

The crowd was shocked, and when they looked at Zhao Mu, besides envy, there was also jealousy!
"Your Highness, you are too polite!" Seeing this, Zhao Mu hurried forward!

He knew that Xu Xiao had arrived in Tai'an City, but he had not gone to visit him in the past two days. Perhaps this was some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them!
"Your Majesty, I am honored to have you here! Please..."

"His Royal Highness Prince Mu is truly extraordinary. He even asked for a marriage grant from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I really did not misjudge him!" Xu Xiao smiled lightly and spoke in a low voice!
"It's all thanks to the prince's help!" The two smiled at each other and were about to go inside!

The sound of horse hooves came again in the distance!
"The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis of the Ming Dynasty has arrived—"

"I am here by order of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Mu and offer three thousand pieces of Shu brocade, ten thousand taels of gold, and five boxes of jewels!"

As the voice fell, rows of horse-drawn carriages carrying boxes slowly drove in.

This time, everyone was completely stunned. "The Ming Dynasty is indeed generous!"

"No, the Ming Dynasty actually sent the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis to come in person to congratulate them?"

"Who is the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis?"

"You are so ignorant that you haven't even heard of the name of Shen Hou. He is the number one person in the Ming Dynasty besides the emperor. He is in charge of Hulong Villa and monitors the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else!"

"Moreover, Tiedan Shenhou's cultivation has reached the peak of the Grandmaster level. There are only a handful of people in the Ming Dynasty who can defeat him!"

"This Iron-hearted Divine Marquis actually came here in person. The Ming Dynasty really gave Prince Mu enough face!"

At this moment, even Zhao Mu was a little surprised. He did not expect Zhu Wusi to come in person!
Although he placed Yagyu Tajima-no-kami next to Zhu Wusi, Zhao Mu did not pass on any information. He did not need to know Zhu Wusi's whereabouts now.

At the moment, Zhu Wusi's attention was not on him, so he posed no threat to him.

"I'm so sorry for not welcoming you, my Lord God!"

Zhao Mu hurried forward and exchanged greetings.

Although I don't understand what Zhu Wusi is trying to do, he still wants to save face.

"Hahaha, I am sorry for disturbing you, Prince Mu, please forgive me!" Tiedan Shenhou seemed particularly happy.

Now, he has obtained three pieces of Tianxiang cardamom, and Su Xin has recovered.

At this moment, he had nothing else to ask for.

Moreover, he also learned from Yagyu Tajima no Kami that the fragrant cardamom was given to him by Zhao Mu on his own initiative. Although Zhu Wusi was puzzled, he had lost face by sending someone to steal it. Now he came here on his own initiative, one to express his gratitude, and the other to apologize.

"How can you say that! I am honored that you are here. Please..."

Zhao Mu raised his hand, Zhu Wusi looked up and saw Xu Xiao, the two nodded and were about to enter the mansion.

There was a cry of surprise from behind.

At the end of the street, a row of women in white, holding flowers in their hands, walked slowly towards us!
Behind them, there was a tall carriage, covered by red gauze.

Through the veil, one can vaguely see a woman in red sitting inside the veil.

"People from Yihua Palace? Why are they here?"

With this style, anyone who travels around the world will naturally recognize it at a glance!

"Yihua Palace, invites Palace Master Yue to come—"

"To congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Mu, I present five pearls from the East China Sea, a set of shark pearl flower screens, and a thousand-year-old jade bed!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd fell silent.

It is understandable that King Beiliang and Daming came to celebrate the title bestowed upon Prince Liyang, but Yihua Palace is a martial arts sect, why are they here to join in the fun?
Moreover, this gift...

Hiss—it can even be said that it is more precious than the other two combined!
The Pearl of the East China Sea is produced in the deep sea. It has the effect of concentrating the mind and calming the spirit. For practitioners, it is a priceless treasure. How could Yihua Palace give out five of them at once?
And what about the shark fish beads...the flower screen?
Are shark beads used to make flower screens? Is the Yihua Palace so extravagant?

The shark pearl is a holy medicine for healing, and is said to be able to bring the dead back to life. Yet they actually use it to make decorative screens. Isn't this a waste of resources?

The most outrageous thing is the thousand-year-old cold jade bed. I'm afraid there are only a few of these things in the world. Practicing on it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Whoever has one will definitely have it collected by their own family.

This Yihua Palace is actually being given away as a gift?
