Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

The emperor looked at the report submitted by the Imperial Observatory, which clearly stated the auspicious dates for the Thirteenth Princess to get married: "October 10th and November 18th".

This calculated date is the result of repeated consideration and confirmation by the people at the Imperial Observatory over the past few days after observing the celestial phenomena at night. It is something we can guarantee with confidence.

Seeing this, Emperor Gu Yuanzhang felt much more relieved. He folded the report, tore it twice, and threw it into the wastepaper basket at his feet.

"Lu Yuan, this kid, is good at divination and calculation, but how can he compare to those people in the Imperial Observatory?" the emperor thought to himself.

In the past few days, the Ministry of Rites has begun preparing for Gu Ziyue's enthronement and marriage.

Even though time was a bit tight, the Ministry of Rites made thorough preparations.

Therefore, Gu Ziyue's wedding date was set on October 10th.

Gu Ziyue’s wish came true.

Inside the posthouse outside the imperial city.

Lu Yuan was not idle either. He took out a large stack of banknotes and gave them to his confidant, asking him to prepare everything, such as the bride price.

Lu Yuan's parents are no longer around, and he doesn't have many close relatives in Shige Village. Lu Yuan's plan is to marry Yue'er and bring her back to Taining City.

When Lu Yuan was summoned to the imperial capital this time, he never expected that he would bring back a concubine, and a princess at that.

Su Liyan patted the dragon robe on Lu Yuan's body. Next to it was the red wedding dress he had just tried on. It was delivered by officials from the Ministry of Rites early this morning.

The person who came to deliver the dragon robe and wedding dress was the Minister of Rites who had been beaten with thirty strokes of the cane by the Emperor a few days ago.

When the dragon robe and wedding dress were delivered, the Minister of Rites bowed and covered his buttocks from time to time, behaving very funny.

I think the emperor specifically asked this Minister of Rites to come here, just to disgust this official.

Logically speaking, the Thirteenth Princess was not marrying down, but marrying a lower-than-average person. Lu Yuan was not qualified to wear this dragon robe.

Now, Lu Yuan has not married Gu Ziyue yet, but this dragon robe has been delivered to him. Isn’t this a great gift?
That's right, the emperor wanted to hold this wedding according to the highest standards.

Lu Yuan turned around and found that the dragon robe fit him very well, as if it was tailor-made for him.

Su Liyan touched the python robe and said, "Brother, there is a big snake embroidered on this robe, it's really beautiful."

Lu Yuan held Su Liyan's little face with both hands and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, it's not as beautiful as my wife's big snake tail!"

"That's right. The main thing is that I am alive, and the snake on the clothes is dead."

Lu Yuan tried on the dragon robe and found it fit him well, so he took it off.

Lu Yuan only needs to wait for a few days and go through a set of procedures before he can marry the princess of the current dynasty.

"Wife, put these two sets of clothes away for now. We still need to refine some elixirs for emergencies."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he took out the space storage box that he had previously given to his wife.

This space storage box was given to his wife by Lu Yuan before. It is connected to Lu Yuan's system space. To outsiders, it seems that all these things were taken out of the space storage box.

Only Lu Yuan and Su Liyan knew about this space storage box.

The human-grade intermediate-quality elixir that was previously refined using the Star Spirit Grass had a very good therapeutic effect, but there was only one left, and its resistance to poison was a bit poor.

Lu Yuan had extracted the poison from the silver needle that injured him and had also refined the corresponding antidote.

Lu Yuan took out the Seven-Star Wind Pill Furnace and three herbs from it: Nine-Turn Spiritual Grass, Nine Yang Return to One Flower, and Heaven and Earth Fusion Grass.

Seeing this, Su Liyan asked, "Brother, these herbs were given by the abbot of Guyang Temple. What are these?"

Lu Yuan opened the box of herbs, smelled them, and said, "We want to try to refine a human-level top-grade elixir. Without good herbs, we may not be able to refine it."

"Isn't it a bit too extravagant?" Su Liyan still felt a little distressed. If the pill refining failed, these herbs would be wasted.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, after the alchemy practice some time ago, I have mastered the art of refining this human-level mid-grade elixir."

If Lu Yuan was not sure, he would definitely not take it out.

Lu Yuan looked at the object in front of him, and suddenly clapped his hands and remembered something, "I can count it with my fingers. Although I am not sure, it will not hurt to do some divination and calculation."

Lu Yuan started to calculate, and after a few minutes he felt a churning in his chest and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

This had never happened to Lu Yuan before. He always used divination to figure out what color bellyband and underwear his wife would wear.

This kind of small thing is just for practice and will not cause any harm to Lu Yuan.

After all, Lu Yuan can see any color he wants, so it won’t cause any harm to himself.

But this time, what Lu Yuan calculated was a human-grade top-grade elixir. This kind of elixir has amazing efficacy. Once it is successfully refined, it can change one's destiny.

Divination affects the fortune of human beings, and if the divination skills are not advanced enough, it can easily backfire on oneself.

Why are blind fortune tellers accurate? They are not accurate, and they do not harm your health!
Su Liyan, who was standing by, was also shocked when she saw this. He was fine just now, why did he vomit blood?

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Su Liyan quickly supported her brother and used her internal force to penetrate into his body, suppressing the disordered breath in Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and comforted his wife, saying, "It's okay. I didn't expect that forced divination and calculation could harm the body."

Human-grade top-grade elixirs are indeed priceless, and Lu Yuan cannot calculate their value with his current divination skills.

Lu Yuan took out the last healing pill, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and ate it like candy beans.

OK! I took the last healing pill.

Not for anything else, just to prove myself.

Lu Yuan said: "Wife, you can sleep with me tonight. I will succeed in refining it."

Seeing Lu Yuan's serious expression, Su Liyan didn't say much. She wiped the blood on the ground with a towel dipped in water, then turned around and took the pillow on the bed and hugged it to her chest.

Before leaving and closing the door, Su Liyan said, "Brother, I'm next door, call me if you need anything!"

Lu Yuan sat on the ground and said with a smile: "Don't worry!"

After Su Liyan closed the door, a crystal tear rolled down her face. Seeing her man working so hard, it would be a lie to say she didn't feel sorry for him.

That night.

When Lu Yuan refined the first human-grade top-grade elixir, the cold voice of the system rang in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully refining a human-level top-grade elixir and successfully unlocking the earth-level elixir chapter of "Alchemy"]

Lu Yuan understood what this meant. He had read the "Art of Alchemy" before, and the introduction said that elixirs were divided into three grades: human grade, earth grade, and heaven grade.

Lu Yuan flipped to the last page of "Alchemy" and only read the method of making top-grade human-level elixirs.

After hearing the system's prompt, Lu Yuan took out the secret book "Alchemy" and found that the number of pages in the secret book had increased and it had become much thicker.

After a quick look through it, I found that "Alchemy" really does contain the method of making earth-level elixirs.

It's just that the refining process is more complicated. Among the herbs required for each earth-level elixir, there are always one or two herbs. Lu Yuan, who is proficient in "Medical Heart", knows that it is hard to find, and it can't be solved with money. Therefore, Lu Yuan only unlocked the method of making earth-level elixirs. First, he didn't learn the refining process, and second, he didn't have the corresponding herbs, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

After a night.

Lu Yuan refined the Nine-Turn Spiritual Grass and the Nine Yang Return to One Flower into two different kinds of pills, both of which were mixed with a considerable amount of Star Spiritual Grass.

Improve the quality of the elixir to the upper human grade.

The Nine Revolutions Spiritual Herb was used to refine three Nine Revolutions Pills, and the Nine Yang Return to One Flower was used to refine four Nine Yang Pills.

Perhaps, if Lu Yuan's alchemy skills were more sophisticated, he could make five pills from each herb.

Of course, Lu Yuan was already very satisfied with these seven human-grade top-quality pills.

The Nine Revolutions Pill has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. As long as there is half a breath left, one can recover instantly.

The Nine Yang Pill has the effect of improving strength. After taking it, ordinary people can possess the profound inner strength of a great master who has accumulated decades of experience.

As for the Heaven and Earth Fusion Grass, in the second half of the night, Lu Yuan no longer had enough internal strength to support himself to continue refining human-grade top-grade elixirs, so he put it into the system space.

In the second half of the night, under the influence of the aroma of the human-grade top-grade elixir, the extremely excited Lu Yuan used Star Spirit Grass and other herbs to refine more than a dozen longevity pills, healing pills, and beauty pills.

The fragrance of the top-grade human-level elixir will make people extremely excited just by smelling it, as if they had taken some kind of macho drug.

But after the effect of the drug wears off, people will feel extremely tired and weak.

In the early morning, Lu Yuan, exhausted, fell asleep on the ground, with several pills scattered all over the ground.

When Su Liyan pushed open the door, she saw Lu Yuan sleeping.

A few steps away, Su Liyan could hear Lu Yuan's steady and powerful heartbeat, which meant he fell asleep.

So Su Liyan was not panicked at all. She walked forward quietly and picked up her man in a princess hug.

Don’t be fooled by Su Liyan’s thin arms and legs. She is very strong and can easily lift an adult man.

Su Liyan carried the sleeping Lu Yuan to the bed, pulled a thick quilt over him, and gave Lu Yuan a passionate kiss on the mouth.

Lu Yuan, whose internal and mental strength were overdrawn, slept in the room for a whole day.

With Lu Yuan's current physique, he wouldn't feel hungry at all even if he didn't eat for a day.

Su Liyan often came to Lu Yuan's room, but when she saw that her brother had not woken up yet, she stopped disturbing him.

At the same time, in the imperial capital, Gu Ziyue, under the leadership of the Minister of Rites, performed various ceremonies and held a consecration ceremony.

Gu Ziyue’s title is “Princess Yuening”, which is a combination of the “Yueh” in her name and the “Ning” in the city of Taining.

"Yue" comes first and "Ning" comes second, as if telling everyone that the imperial power is above all living beings. Even a daughter who is married off is still my daughter.

After being busy the whole day, Gu Ziyue finally had time to rest and catch her breath at night.

The emperor chose a mansion for his daughter in the Ten Princes' Palace, but Gu Ziyue refused and didn't want to live there.

The specifications of the Ten Princes' Palace are equivalent to those of a first-rank official, and the palace is very luxurious.

Princesses who married poor young men all lived in the Ten Princes' Palaces in the imperial city and were not allowed to enter the imperial capital without being summoned.

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang said to his daughter, "The Ten Princes' Palace only left a mansion for you. When you come back to visit your family, you can't live in the inn with Lu Yuan."

Gu Ziyue agreed after hearing this and said, "Dad, I am determined to go to Taining City with Yuan~, you are not allowed to stop me."

The emperor touched his daughter's head and said, "My daughter has grown up and married. You have your own life and I will not interfere.

There is just one thing, if you get mad at me outside, you must tell me, and I will beat your cramps!"

"Hmm~"

After sleeping for a whole day, Lu Yuan woke up, lifted the quilt, and found himself naked. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I laughed at myself for sleeping so soundly. How did my wife get me into bed? I didn't feel anything at all.

Little did I know that I had slept for so long that it was already mid-morning of the next day.

Lu Yuan pulled a set of loose pajamas from the bed, put them on, put on his cotton shoes and got out of bed.

Lu Yuan picked up the box on the table, which contained a few pills.

Lu Yuan took out a box from the system space. All the refined pills were in these two boxes.

"These pills should be stored in separate boxes to avoid cross-flavors that affect the taste." Lu Yuan said to himself.

Su Liyan pushed the door open and saw that Lu Yuan had woken up. She hugged Lu Yuan from behind, pressed against his back and said, "Brother, you're awake. Are you hungry?"

Lu Yuan placed the pill box on the table, put his hands on his wife's hands, and said, "I'm hungry. What should I do if I want to eat my wife?"

"Stop making trouble. Brother is weak right now. Let's ask the chef at the inn to warm the fire and stew some broth. Let's go get it." After Su Liyan said this, she stopped sticking to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't wake up for a long time, and the broth in the kitchen had been changed so many times that he couldn't count how many pots had been changed.

Although Lu Yuan has a holy body, the internal force and mental strength consumed in refining the elixir is not enough even with the holy body to protect him.

I slept for a long time.

Lu Yuan pulled his wife's hand and handed her a wooden box containing pills. "These beauty pills were made by me yesterday. Give them to my wife first."

"What about yesterday?" Su Liyan thought to herself and just smiled.

Su Liyan touched her delicate face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. This beauty pill is really a good thing. After taking it, everything becomes smooth and tender."

Lu Yuan slapped his wife's butt twice and pinched her little face.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's true, it's so wet!"

"Okay, brother, let's get you some broth right away!" Su Liyan put the pill into her pocket, turned around and left.

A noisy sound came from outside the house.

After leaving the room, Su Liyan saw several eunuchs trotting towards the second floor in the corridor on the second floor.

They came to find my brother. Su Liyan stood aside and made way for several eunuchs.

After the eunuch walked past, Su Liyan went down the stairs and went to the kitchen of the inn.

The leading eunuch knocked on the door and was about to speak.

Lu Yuan was sitting at the table with his legs crossed, thinking it was his trusted aide, and said, "Come in!"

The eunuchs outside the door were stunned at first, but when they heard the voice of Lord Lu inside the room, they had to push the door open and go in.

The leading eunuch couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Lu Yuan was still in his pajamas.

It's true that the prince consort is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!
The eunuch bowed and said, "Lord Lu, why are you still sitting here? Aren't you going to the palace today?" (End of this chapter)
