Chapter 161 - Summer Tournament I (1/2)
Third person POV
*Two weeks later
Many royalties and nobles from other countries all over the world came to Da Qi for this year's Summer Tournament. Even the commoners had come to cheer for their idols and enjoy the festive moment of the year. Merchants were having their best time in the year by auctioning unique and uncommon stuffs as nobles and wealthy families from many countries gathered up in one city.
Everyone dressed up beautifully for this event as this year's tournament will be a little different than the previous one from what they heard. They couldn't wait to see the newlywed couple to appear in the large stadium.
There will be a speech and an announcement from the couple and more importantly, there was a word saying that the couple will be revealing their face for the first time to the world.
As to why people was so curious about their face was because the rumors that are flying around Weisheng and Hong er. Based on the rumors, Weisheng has an unworldly face that every men would want to have, while on the other side, Hong er has a quite beautiful face but was ruined by a scar.
Just by seeing the stadium, the differences between every floor was clear. 88 rows of seats for the audience, 3 floor of VIP rooms for wealthy families or low ranked nobles, 2 floor of VVIP rooms for princes or princesses and high ranked nobles or extremely important guest, and lastly, 1 floor and the highest floor which was VVVIP rooms for Emperors and Empresses (including empress dowager or retired emperor).
(A/N: The stadium….. just imagine the largest soccer stadium in the world. Bc that's how I imagine it.)
No one's allowed to enter the VVVIP floor without the owner's permission, including princes and princesses too. Everyone curious peeked at the VVIP and VVVIP floor to see whoever occupied those rooms. Each room had name plate on it so people could know the guest without seeing the person to protect their privacy.
Almost royalties from all of countries came and the strongest power family in each country came. Lu family from Da Qi, Xu family from Da Chu, Di family from Dong Fang, Wang family from Xi Bei, and Jin family from Bei Zhou, as representative for the power family in every country. Meanwhile, Lan family and Lin family together with Shu family which are in neutral side also came to this occasion.
People started to get more excited for the event as the most famous families have gathered together, they didn't know what was going to happen but usually those families wouldn't come to these kind of events unless they needed to.
Everyone was perfectly seated and the drum started to roll as the event began. The main gate slowly opened, revealing the ruler of each nation with their own great general and his wife following behind whist holding their country's banner in their hand.
The first one to enter was Bei Zhou's emperor and empress then followed by Xi Bei's emperor alone (his empress had died) with Wang Guizhi (Xu Tingfeng's bestfriend) and his wife. After that, Dong Fang's young emperor and his empress with Di Yu(Di Shang's father) and Naran. Next was Long Quan(Da Chu's emperor) and his empress with Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing behind him.
Audience's attention was not on the emperor but on their general which damaged their pride. But before they could think about other thing, the music got louder and fiercer as the next power couple entered the stadium. Everyone's mouth went agape including the other royalties who were standing quite far away from them.
They couldn't believe their own eyes, it was like 2 deities descent from the heaven. The couple walked down the red carpet with dignity and majestically which put the previous couples who walked on the same path on shame.
Like how the rumor described him, Weisheng has the face that every man wants. His blood red eyes complimented his sharp eyes that could kill anyone just by a glance. The black stone on his forehead goes along with his black and gold themed attire. His pure black fabric embroidered with big menacing golden dragon in the middle showed that he is that golden dragon.
Meanwhile, the woman beside him could only be described as heavenly. Her gentle smile calms anyone's heart. And another thing that caught their eyes was her bright golden eyes. Her eyes were so clear and pure which shows her innocence and tranquil disposition. Yet, it was fierce and firm that it seemed like it was telling them to not mess with her.
They were scolding the people who dared to spread rumor about Hong er's beauty ruined by a scar when there was nothing on her face except the red lotus mark on her forehead and a beauty mark below her right eye.
