Chapter 468: Deliberating the Wedding (1/2)
Although the wedding was rushed, the customary ceremonial tasks still had to be observed. The old emperor knew that the Cloud Water Nation was located far away from the Phoenix King Valley and a lot of time would be wasted if Feng Wan’er were to constantly travel between the two places. He had already prepared a courtyard for her, so that she wouldn’t need to travel back and forth. Everything could be conducted there, such as the ceremonial activities and it was also the place he would be sending the dowry.
Before long, Feng Wan’er set off for the Cloud Water Nation with everything packed into several carriages behind her.
Since the day of the wedding ceremony was drawing closer, it was customary for the bride and groom not to see each other. Thus, Pei Rumo was dispatched to escort Feng Wan’er to the Cloud Water Nation.
“Valley Master, is it alright for me to come in?” Pei Rumo asked. Although he did not like Feng Wan’er because of her history with Bai Luochu, he still forced himself to remain courteous.
Because the elder of the Phoenix King Valley did not have a close relationship with Pei Rumo, he was slightly taken aback when the First Prince bowed to him. However, he recovered in an instant and he led Pei Rumo into the courtyard.
“You can make yourself comfortable here. As for matters related to the wedding, someone will escort you to the palace to discuss the details with Emperor Father.” Pei Rumo said. After he spoke, he turned around to leave without looking back.
The Valley Master had a puzzled look on his face as he watched Pei Rumo storm off. He felt that it was strange. Everyone would be tripping over themselves to obtain his favor. However, Pei Rumo showed such indifference to him and the only reason he could think of was that Pei Rumo had an argument with Pei Wuchen.
In actual fact, the Valley Master was thinking too highly of himself! Pei Rumo’s treatment was because of Bai Luochu.
Who cares about his identity? Even commoners can’t stand the sight of him suppressing all the other powerhouses in the world… I’m the First Prince of the Cloud Water Nation, why do I need to lower myself in front of you?
Before long, a servant appeared in the courtyard to lead the Valley Master to the palace.
“Although the marriage was decided in a rush, rest assured that we will not mistreat your darling Wan’er.” The old emperor told the Valley Master. The Valley Master had a displeased look on his face when he went to see the old emperor and the old emperor knew that he could only tread lightly so as not to upset the Valley Master. He even lowered his status when speaking to the Valley Master.
He looked up at the old emperor who was about to become his in-law. As the parent of the princess-to-be, the Valley Master would be able to obtain a high position in the Cloud Water Nation. After all, the old emperor messed up in the past and rejected the marriage when they brought it up. The Valley Master still held some grudges in his heart and he wanted to guilt trip the old emperor into giving him some more benefits.
Even though he was just marrying off his daughter, the Valley Master thought that he would be able to gain a higher status in the Phoenix King Valley if he also managed to obtain a position in the royal family of the Cloud Water Nation.
