Chapter 1198 - 100 Wuji's Mother! Welcoming the Bride in the Imperial City_3

For many years, whenever a Great Heavenly Proud was to marry, it was always a very solemn grand event. Since the wedding date was set, everyone in Return to Dragon City, from the Imperial Household to the common citizens, had been closely following the progress of this matter, so much so that some organizations that specialized in peddling information made a fortune selling related news.

For both the Emperor's Mansion and Rong Commandery Prince's Residence, this was also a matter of utmost importance.

In recent days, a continuous stream of Prominent Families had been visiting the two households with congratulations. Many distant relatives, with whom contact had all but ceased, seized the opportunity to foster connections.

Even the prices of wedding-related products in the entire Return to Dragon City saw a slight increase because of the marriages of the two Little Princesses. It couldn't be helped as the two households competed in purchasing, sparing no expense and buying more and more, leading to some stores running out of stock.

Without realizing it, the atmosphere of the entire Return to Dragon City became bustling, as if celebrating a festival.

In the blink of an eye, the day for Anye to welcome the brides arrived.

The date chosen was a carefully selected auspicious day.

To ensure everything went smoothly on the wedding day and to have a good omen, the Wang family had not only requested the Three Talents Section officials to monitor and calculate the weather but also found Purple Abode Realm experts with Small Divine Power of the wind and water spirits on standby just in case. If the calculations were wrong, they could intervene with the weather to ensure good conditions for welcoming the brides.

Just to determine the date of the bride welcoming, the three parties had wrangled over it countless times.

On the day of the welcoming, the entire Return to Dragon City was decked out in bright colors, attracting countless onlookers.

Since the Wang family kept things under wraps, many people were guessing how Wang Anye would enter the city to welcome the brides. White Cloud Tower even opened betting pools for this speculation.

After all, welcoming brides is all about face. Any Prominent Family with even a slight foundation would try to show off their background during such an event, let alone Wang Anye who was marrying two Little Princesses at once. If the spectacle wasn't grand enough, it wouldn't just be a loss of face for the Changning Wang Clan, but for the Imperial Household, Emperor's Mansion, and Rong Commandery Prince's Residence as well.

As a result, there was an unusually high number of people paying attention to this event.

On this day.

As the auspicious hour arrived, many people craned their necks, eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Suddenly.

A massive cloud raft Flying Boat appeared in the sky above Dragon City, gliding through the air like a giant bird, casting a huge shadow on the ground below.

In the sunlight, the boat's enormous body shimmered with a light blue luster, and the golden insignia of the Changning Wang Clan on its hull, along with the fluttering red streamers, were incredibly eye-catching.

"Oh my goodness?!"

On the ground, scores of onlookers were shocked, their eyes widening. Wasn't there an aerial restriction in Dragon City? Who was so bold as to brazenly pilot a cloud raft Flying Boat into Dragon City?

However, people quickly realized what was happening.

"Sss! The Wang family actually bought a cloud raft Flying Boat from Yao's Air Transport for the welcoming? How much money did that cost? But this isn't even a matter of money, is it? The Yao family has always treasured their Flying Boats and wouldn't sell them easily."

"Isn't the key question supposed to be why the Imperial Guard allowed it to pass?"

You see, Dragon City's aerial ban was no mere regulation. Anyone daring to ignore it and fly over Dragon City would be immediately apprehended and detained by the Imperial Guard's networks.

The fact that the cloud raft Flying Boat could fly into Dragon City was itself a problem.

On such an issue, the only one who had the authority to issue a special pardon was the Great Emperor.

The noses of the various Prominent Families in Dragon City were razor-sharp, and soon some of them came to this realization, and couldn't help but remark that the Changning Wang Clan indeed had significant clout.

However, upon reflection, if they could arrange something as improbable as one man marrying two Little Princesses at once, it seemed obtaining a special pardon from the Great Emperor wasn't that unexpected.

On the other hand, at White Cloud Tower, many were lamenting that their imaginations weren't bold enough, having not anticipated such a move.

For a time, quite a few Prominent Families were inspired.

The display of the cloud raft Flying Boat was indeed much grander than that of a flying carriage and far more astonishing. Although special pardons were hard to obtain, only Dragon City had the ban—why not welcome the brides outside the city?

If they couldn't buy a cloud raft Flying Boat, they could simply rent from the Yao family or the Wang family.

After this, using cloud raft Flying Boats for welcoming brides became a method to showcase one's background. Yao's Air Transport subsequently added another service, even developing a special type of Flying Boat specifically for welcoming brides—but that's a story for another time, which we will not discuss here.

At this moment.

The inside of the cloud raft Flying Boat was also bustling with excitement.

Inside the main cabin of the Flying Boat, Anye, donning the groom's official attire, sat in the place of honor, surrounded by a group of the Wang family's kin.

They say red is the most difficult color to pull off, but Wang Anye, already handsome, was further set off by a tailor-made vibrant red gown. Now that he was dressed in an opulent red outfit made from the precious White Cloud Spiritual Silk, his presence was especially highlighted. At a glance, he looked genuinely handsome and dignified.

"The Emperor's personal tailor is truly remarkable; the craftsmanship of this outfit is simply impeccable, and it suits one so well," a handsome young man beside him laughed and said, "Brother, wearing this outfit today, you're bound to have both sisters-in-law utterly smitten."
