Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Shen Bai nodded in agreement.

In name only, the prince consort must obey the princess's orders.

Even though the Sixth Princess usually listens to him, he has to go along with her on their wedding day.

However, Shen Bai didn't care.

After all, he can make His Highness call him "Dad" when he turns around.

Standing next to the Sixth Princess, Qi Rui coughed lightly, revealing the Sixth Princess's unspoken message.

"The princess is kind and virtuous, and considerate of her husband, but the husband must remain chaste and completely sever any improper thoughts."

Shen Bai glanced at Qi Rui, who was dressed in a bright red female official's robe and looking at him with a serious expression.

What was once a joke has now come true.

Qi Rui became a lady-in-waiting accompanying her in her dowry.

If he wants to see the Sixth Princess in the future, he must obtain Qi Rui's consent at the ceremony.

Even sharing a bed requires Qi Rui's consent.

Qi Rui could not only say what the Sixth Princess was not comfortable saying, but she could also reprimand her on her behalf.

On this joyous day, Qi Rui dared to reprimand herself in this way, which clearly indicated that the Imperial Clan Court was watching closely.

Normally, no one follows these rules.

But on the day of their wedding, Qi Rui's status was even higher than her own.

"I will remember this."

Shen Bai nodded in agreement again, and Qi Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the ceremony, a grand banquet was held to entertain guests from all directions.

"Qian Kai, did you see that just now? Shen Bai was getting married to five brides at the same time! I never expected that he could win over both Class Monitor Bai and the campus belle of Anhui University!"

"More than that, Si Qing was the most famous genius alchemist in our Jiangbei City before. I heard that she is now a fourth-level Golden Core alchemist and will soon become a fifth-level alchemist. She invented the latest low-toxicity second-level Gathering Yuan Pill and the low-toxicity first-level Body Tempering Pill."

"I heard that Hu Feier is the daughter of True Lord Hu Fangkun. Back in Jiangbei, I saw her a few times at the milk tea shop where Shen Bai worked. I never imagined that Shen Bai would marry his childhood sweethearts!"

"How envious! Shen Bai is already the Marquis of Jiangbei at the Golden Core stage, while we're just lowly Qi Refining cultivators. When we're toasting later, won't we have to address him as 'True Man Shen'?"

……

Shen Bai naturally sent invitations to his high school classmates' group and An Li's high school classmates' group for his wedding. Considering the high cost of the teleportation array, Shen Bai paid for the spirit stone fees for the trip.

As for the students from Qingbei Dao Academy and Tiandan Dao Academy, Shen Bai, An Li, and Bai Qingqing only invited some close friends, while Si Qing and Hu Feier invited some former friends and besties.

In addition, several teachers and friends they knew also sent invitations.

The current Marquis of Jiangbei is rich and willful.

What's a mere toll fee?

Moreover, 80% of the transfer fee goes back into their own pockets.

This impressive gesture immediately won unanimous praise from all the students and teachers.

Qian Kai sat at his high school classmates' table, watching Shen Bai lead the four brides to the main table and sit down, feeling utterly disheartened.

Back then, after he was admitted to the Taoist Academy, he naively shouted the saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," vowing to surpass Shen Bai when he graduated from the academy.

As a result, he watched helplessly as the distance between himself and Shen Bai grew further and further.

Now, Shen Bai's cultivation level is the same as his mentor's.

Not to mention Shen Bai, even Bai Qingqing herself can't compare.

I heard that when An Li was giving birth, Bai Qingqing was already at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Now, a month has passed, and I wonder if she has stepped into the Golden Core stage.

But regardless of whether he had reached the Golden Core stage or not, Qian Kai knew that he and Bai Qingqing were impossible in this lifetime.

He sat forlornly at the banquet, having already downed a bottle of spirit wine as soon as the feast began.

"Qian Kai, drink less. Shen Bai hasn't come to toast you yet!"

Xie Beibei watched Qian Kai drinking alone and offered a suggestion. Qian Kai glanced at her and couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "Don't you want to drink?"

Xie Beibei was stunned for a moment, then looked somewhat dejected.

Seeing her best friend, dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, marry Shen Bai as she wished, how could she not be jealous?

Back then, everyone cried together several times because Shen Bai was won over by An Li.

I don't know when it started, but things began to develop in a strange direction.

Was it the dinner party after the college entrance exam?

Was it the alchemy competition?

Xie Beibei's mouth was filled with bitterness. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and picked up a bottle of spirit wine: "Come on, bottoms up!"

……

Royal marriages are not much different from those of ordinary people, except that there are more formalities and more guests.

The Sixth Princess, accompanied by Shen Bai, first offered toasts to the elders at each table, then to their peers, and finally to the envoys from various countries.

As for subordinates, there's no need to go to each table individually; simply raising a glass together is sufficient.

The most awkward table was that of the peers, because only the Ninth Prince had come to offer congratulations on behalf of the new emperor. When the Ninth Prince saw Shen Bai, he shouted that he wanted to pour him wine: "Shen Bai, you tricked my sixth sister away. I can't let you off easily today."

Shen Bai recalled the Sanjin Society that had raided his home while he was away some time ago, and a warm smile appeared on his face: "Ninth Prince, I'll drink as much as you like. However, I still have to go to Dongdao to offer toasts later, so please leave some for me, Ninth Prince."

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the ninth prince was enfeoffed as Prince Ping, but among the royal family members, he was generally called the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince's fiefdom is none other than Qianyuan City, the second super city on Qiyuan Star.

The other party's intentions were naturally obvious.

Although the Ninth Prince is still chubby, he is no longer the little guy who followed behind the Sixth Princess and Shen Bai to explore the Lingyue Secret Realm. He has gained a more mature temperament and the majesty of a prince.

Hearing Shen Bai's words, the Ninth Prince's smile remained unchanged, and he chuckled, "Dongdao? Are you going to toast the San Shang Group? You're not being honest, are you? Trying to cause trouble on my sixth sister's wedding day?"

The Ninth Prince's words made the atmosphere extremely awkward.

The sixth princess suddenly gripped Shen Bai's arm tightly.

Shen Bai patted the Sixth Princess's hand and laughed, "Then we definitely have to toast the Mikami Group a few times. After all, the Mikami Group generously lent 5000 billion when our Highness was isolated and helpless."

Shen Bai casually retorted to the Ninth Prince's words.

The figure of 5000 billion made even the Ninth Prince lose his smile.

He knew full well that the Sixth Princess had been forced into that predicament, and he could do what he could to help, so he stopped joking and instead raised his wine cup: "I hope my Qian Yuan City won't fall into such a predicament. Enough of this nonsense, I wish Sixth Sister and Sixth Brother-in-law a long and happy marriage, and a bright future on the path to immortality!"

After the two sides clinked glasses, the Sixth Princess led Shen Bai to the table of ambassadors from various countries.

First was the Kingdom of Rota. Vanka, whom we hadn't seen in a long time, was dressed in a white and gold robe. With her blonde hair and blue eyes, she looked especially beautiful today.

Congratulations, Princess Qiyuan!

The Ninth Prince was granted the title of Prince Ping, and the Sixth Princess's title was the name of her fiefdom.

"This is the legendary Tsinghua-Peking University Newcomer King, the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the Xuan Yuan Empire in nearly a thousand years? He truly deserves to be called a dragon among men."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The Sixth Princess exchanged a few pleasantries with Vanka with a smile, then casually asked, "Where's your sword immortal Li Bai?"

A hint of dejection flashed in Vanka's eyes, but he forced a smile and said, "Li Bai is in seclusion trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. He won't leave until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage."

"As expected of a peerless swordsman, he has such great perseverance. I wish Li Bai a speedy breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage."

The sixth princess raised her glass with a half-smile, and Vanka gratefully clinked glasses with her, but inwardly he was filled with doubt.

Why does Princess Qiyuan always pay so much attention to Li Bai?

Shen Bai stood to the side, feeling sweat pouring down his back.

Don't cause any trouble, my dear wife!

……

After paying her respects to Vanka, the princess approached the ambassador of the host country. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the sixth princess turned her attention to Mrs. Mikami, who was dressed in a moon-white East Island dress and had a braid draped over her left shoulder.

"Thank you, Mrs. Mikami. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how I would have gotten through this crisis."

The sixth princess smiled as she looked at the glamorous head of the Mikami Group.

"Your Highness is too kind. It is my honor to be able to help you."

While Mrs. Mikami was speaking, her eyes were fixed on Shen Bai, which annoyed the Sixth Princess.

really!

Shen Bai glanced at Mrs. Mikami, who quickly turned her gaze to the Sixth Princess: "The Mikami Group will be Your Highness's most loyal partner from now on, and we look forward to having more opportunities to cooperate with Your Highness."

The Sixth Princess nodded slightly: "We'll have many more opportunities to cooperate in the future, so let's keep in touch."

Mrs. Mikami raised her glass, and the three of them clinked glasses, sparks seemingly flying in the air.

The Ninth Prince, watching this scene from afar, revealed a mysterious smile.

……

After several rounds of drinks, the Sixth Princess returned to the main table, and Shen Bai, accompanied by four beautiful ladies, offered another toast.

This time, after Shen Bai and the four others paid their respects at the main table, they went to the teacher's table first.

At this table were Dean Lu Shifang of Qingbei Taoist Academy, as well as True Lord Yan Nong, True Lord Yan Xiao, True Lord Ji Ling, True Lord Ding Ji, Yu Bing, True Person Ye Lan, Director Hua Zijing, and Teacher Li Lan.

In addition, there are mentors for An Li, Bai Qingqing, and others.

Seeing Shen Bai arrive with his bride, Dean Lu Shifang stood up with a smile: "You little rascal, you're not honest at all."

Yan Nong Zhenjun stroked his large beard and laughed heartily, "What do you mean by 'dishonest'? This is called 'excellent'! My personal disciple is just that outstanding!"

The teasing from the True Lords made An Li, Bai Qingqing, and the other girls a little embarrassed, but Shen Bai shamelessly laughed and said, "Isn't this all thanks to the true teachings of our teachers?"

Dean Lu and many teachers laughed together.

Teacher Li Lan was deeply moved. With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "When I first went to Jiangbei to recruit students, I saw Shen Bai and his sister Shen Wenwen living in a small courtyard, relying on each other for survival. I felt that this child had a really tough time. I never expected that after a few years, he would achieve such great success. In all my years of recruiting students, he is my proudest student."
