The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1240: Discuss the Wedding

Discuss the Wedding . . .

On the next day.

Qiong-Hua Palace was decorated with colored banners and lanterns.

The nine leading elders, seven penalty elders, and eight external-affair elders were all present except the three grand elders.

These elders with the eight guardians of Qiong-Hua Palace made the best force of the sect.

"… Listen… This may be a conflict to our tradition… I didn't make the decision though… Well, I thought about it last night, and I have it in my mind now." The Moon Queen sighed and told all the elders about what had happened. In the end, she said, "That's why I sent you all back to have this discussion…"

She looked helpless in the face, saying, "I have to say it clearly first. Shuang and Han favor Cha Nantian and Cha Clan, obviously. I did make a promise to Cha Nantian after all. Shuang and Han have made a great contribution to our sect, so I have to show respect to them. I don't like what I decided, but we should take the two elders' emotions into consideration… Anyway, whoever is going to stop this should better keep the mouth shut."

What she said at last forcibly shut the mouths of those who were going to object to the marriage of Cha Nantian and Yue Gongxue.

Yue Shuang and Yue Han didn't make troubles but only stayed aside on their best behavior because they saw the Moon Queen cooperating with them. All they did was sitting and listening to others.

After a while, nobody said anything as a response to the Moon Queen.

It didn't mean they all objected to this marriage. In fact, none of them ever had the experience of marriage… They didn't know how to hold a wedding.

Besides, the number of gifts was too important to be careless on…

What Yue Shuang suggested in the last day was an eye-watering amount. They would never agree on that. Regarding the two ladies, the other elders still couldn't understand why the two sheltered young ladies would generously support Cha Nantian since they were always stingy!

However, the Moon Queen had made the decision and asked them to show respect to the two ladies.

Even though the ladies had suggested an unreasonably amount, they needed to consider it all the same.

They couldn't suggest one while the two ladies were asking about a hundred, could they? It would be humiliating the ladies. The two ladies might start a fight because of it.

They even wanted to beat the Prime Master up the last day!

None of them was afraid of fighting against either of the two ladies, but the ladies always fought together… It was too difficult to defeat the two of them at the same time…

Besides, if they started a fight inside the palace only because of the problem about the gifts, it would be a massive disgrace to Qiong-Hua Palace…

Therefore, nobody talked.

"What is your thought? Ladies?" The Moon Queen frowned and said, "It seems none of you would like to talk first… I guess I have to point somebody out… First Elder, why don't you make a start?"

That was a smart choice.

The First Elder was on the highest position among all elders, who was a nice person. She advocated peace and harmony in almost all situations inside the palace…

She coughed and said, "I do know what our elders are thinking. I also know what is in your mind too, Moon Queen. I know what Shuang and Han have in mind as well… I think we all have our reasons and positions."

She took a breath and continued, "We are in different positions, which means there will be conflicts. I know that. I believe you all know that… Well, the current situation… We have to… think of a compromise that everybody is happy with. Moon Queen is happy; Shuang and Han are happy; we are happy. We have to stick together as a whole inside the palace and keep our dignity and fame in the world…"

"I think we need to make sure everybody is happy. That is it. As for the details… the plans… Sisters, why don't you all share your ideas. Let's solve the problem in a harmonious way." She coughed and made a conclusion to the speech, "Well I will just leave it here…"

Then she smiled and nodded to the Moon Queen, to Shuang and Han, and to the others in the end. The middle-aged lady, First Elder casually sat down and closed her eyes like a sage.

All the others, including the Moon Queen, Shuang and Han, looked at the First Elder in surprise…

What a great speech!

After making such a long speech, she actually said nothing…

[Who doesn't know we have to figure out a compromise to make everybody happy? We have been talking about how to do it, haven't we? You just told us everything we already knew and then stopped to close your eyes?]

The Moon Queen's mouth twisted, but she refrained from shouting out.

[I know you are good at courteously blurring the line between two conflictive sides. I wanted you to do that… but… I didn't know you could actually dancing on the line!]

Yue Shuang secretly talked to her sister through mind connection. [This old woman is unbelievable… When somebody fart, it smells… What she said is worse than farting… I am impressed…]

Yue Han replied in mind connection, [I think farting would be much better than her long useless speech. It would save us time after all.]

Yue Shuang started to act like an elder sister now. [What are you talking about, girl? Mind your language! You are a lady!]

Yue Han pouted and looked aside.

The Moon Queen frowned and rubbed her temples with her long pretty fingers.

She had felt helpless about leadership meetings in Qiong-Hua Palace for a long time.

These ladies were all leaders of Qiong-Hua Palace but also obsessed with cultivation. Seldom of them truly cared about the matters in the palace. She knew the only way to get them involved was to start negotiating about something that might damage their own interests…
