Chapter -65 This is a 'Great' Beauty.

Chapter -65.

Rich new wine, thick and sweet.

As Ye Chen recited the Clear Heart Mantra in his mind a few times, he reminded himself not to make any more mistakes. After helping Liu Erlong get dressed and leaving a quick note, he got up and left the grove of towering pillars.

Feeling a bit disappointed about not finding a good teacher for Zhang Ming and the others, Ye Chen decided to head back to the imperial city and focus on practicing himself. After all, doing something was better than doing nothing!

"Hmm? Why are the streets so brightly decorated with red banners everywhere?"

When he arrived in Tiandou City, Ye Chen noticed the streets were adorned with red and colorful ribbons hanging from various eaves and billboards, though he had no idea what the celebration was about.

As he strolled through Tiandou City, he entered the imperial city with the prince's waist token in hand. The festive atmosphere inside was even more vibrant than outside!

"Captain, you're finally back! Come with me quickly!"

Zhang Ming waved at Ye Chen and limped over, excitement written all over his face.

"Whoa, are you crazy? Is your foot feeling better?" Ye Chen supported the nearly collapsing Zhang Ming, a bit speechless. "What's the rush? Can't you slow down and fill me in?"

"I'm not sure, but the Crown Prince asked me to bring you to his palace right away. He said there's something really important to discuss."

Zhang Ming smiled, realizing that his family wasn't completely heartless, as long as they didn't provoke him.

"Qinghe is looking for me?"

Ye Chen frowned, glancing at the red banners lining the city wall, suddenly piecing together a possible reason.

"Take it easy; I'll head over first."

Letting go of Zhang Ming, Ye Chen quickly made his way to the Crown Prince's palace, holding the waist token engraved with 'Qinghe,' and no one stopped him along the way.

Before long, Ye Chen arrived outside Qian Renxue's palace. As soon as he stepped inside, he was greeted by a dazzling display of large 'double happiness' characters.

"No way, is it happening already?"

Feeling a bit suspicious, Ye Chen pushed open the palace door and walked in.

"You've made it!"

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was sitting by the bed, carefully arranging a bouquet of fresh flowers to make it look even more beautiful.

"What's going on? Has the Snow Night Emperor already picked a princess for you?"

"Nope."

"Then why all the red silk and double happiness characters in the entire imperial city? Are you about to become emperor?"

Ye Chen was puzzled; if a princess hadn't been chosen, there was no need for such a grand celebration.

"Stop joking around." Seeing Ye Chen's nervous expression, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle, "I chose the princess yesterday when she returned to the palace, and today is my wedding day."

"Uh, are you serious? Getting married today after deciding so quickly? Isn't that a bit hasty?"

Sitting down at the guest table, he picked up a cup of tea, still shocked by the news, thinking this marriage seemed a bit reckless.

"That's my cup."

Qian Renxue's lips twitched slightly, but she soon smiled and shook her head, continuing to arrange the roses in her hands.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Why were you in such a hurry for me to come back? You don't want me to take your place at the wedding, do you? Don't even think about it! The Crown Prince's wedding will have all sorts of distinguished guests from various sects and the Martial Soul Hall attending; if I impersonate you to get married, I'll definitely be found out."

"You're dreaming."

Qian Renxue looked at Ye Chen with a mix of amusement and exasperation, realizing that since he arrived, her emotions had become a bit erratic, but at the same time, it was the happiest and most joyful time she had experienced in over a decade.

In the past, she had to keep everything to herself, with no one to confide in, and she didn't dare share anything with anyone. But now, things were different because of Ye Chen.

With a smile, Qian Renxue took out a token from her bosom and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, "This is the 'Chenxue' high-level imperial academy emblem I registered at the imperial court. Starting today, the Qianxue battle team will be the first batch of students at the imperial academy, and you are the named vice president. Your position will be elevated after the big competition."

"Thanks! You really thought this through. I was just worried about where to enroll the Qianxue battle team."

Looking at the silver academy emblem covered in snowflakes, Ye Chen pinned it to his chest and then noticed that at the top of the emblem's snowflakes, there was a half sun radiating light; perhaps this symbolized the new beginnings of morning sun and first snow.

"I'm glad you like it. Oh, by the way, wait for me here after lunch; I have something to discuss with you tonight."

After reminding him, Qian Renxue left the palace holding the roses.

Seeing this, Ye Chen hurried to the door and shouted, "You still haven't told me who the princess is? Is it Qinghe?"

As her figure disappeared around the corner, Ye Chen scratched his head and muttered, "Do you want me to wait here for you until evening? Don't you want me to attend the wedding?"

But then he thought, since the wedding was fake, how could two women get married? Moreover, Qian Renxue had no choice; if she didn't do this, her 'scandal' with him would probably become known throughout the continent.

Feeling exhausted, Ye Chen lay down on the bed and unknowingly fell asleep. He didn't know how much time passed, but he was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound beside him.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qian Renxue sitting next to him. Upon noticing he was awake, she smiled slightly and said, "Looks like you really like my bed."

Hearing this, Ye Chen replied, a bit speechless, "Yeah, it's definitely soft, but what do you want me to wait for here? Why does it have to be so late? Are you possibly thinking about me?"

With his arms crossed, Ye Chen looked at Qian Renxue warily, making her roll her eyes.

"Can you stop being so full of yourself? I want you here to help me think of a solution."

Qian Renxue held a glass of red wine, raised her chin, and pointed to the other end of the large bed. Ye Chen looked over and saw a graceful figure in a white wedding dress lying on the bed, seemingly in a comatose state.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown and said, "Why make things difficult for her? Even if you marry her, it will only dispel the rumors outside, but isn't it too cruel for this girl?"

This is like living in widowhood. Before Qian Ruxue ascends to the throne, this woman will probably have to remain in the deep palace alone.

Wait, something seems off.

Ye Chen looked at Qian Ruxue, then at the graceful woman lying on the bed, and blurted out, "You want me to stay, don't tell me you want me to help you with her wedding night? Am I that easygoing?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Ruxue drank the red wine in her cup, walked to the woman in the narrow wedding dress, removed the heavy white veil from her head, and slowly said, "This is a 'great' beauty, don't you like her?"

As Qian Ruxue moved, Ye Chen turned to look, but when he recognized the familiar face of the woman lying there, he couldn't help but exclaim, "How could it be her!"

Outside the city of Tiandou in the deep night, a large convoy was marching in.

As the curtain of the central carriage was lifted, a young man looked at the huge imperial capital not far ahead and murmured, "I didn't expect to come here so soon again. Teacher, do you think the Royal Academy will accept us?"

At the same time, the leading carriage also lifted its curtain, and a middle-aged man poked his head out with a smile, replying, "Don't worry, Xiao San. Although Flander isn't very reliable, the students he teaches are all excellent. He will do his best to help us. After all, only academies with senior qualifications can participate in the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academies, and we are Shrek."

Note : Guys, some power stones will be really helpful.
