266 Missed Princesses
Even if there were no surprises for a long time, but when he actually landed on the floating island of the palace, Gu Lie was still shocked by this imposing building.
Especially under the blessing of this twilight filter, it is even more dazzling like a dream.
This floating island is bigger than expected, almost half of the academy area, and the lush vegetation is a matter of course, like the so-called "Imperial Garden", but under the basis of this fantasy area, the expressiveness presented is more like a domineering net, so that everyone present becomes a captive of aesthetics.
As soon as the carriage landed, several golden-clawed eagles immediately surrounded the sky, and there was a long line on the ground to charge this way, which was simply the strength of the battle.
Long Xu had already reached out and pinched Gu Lie, for fear that he would reflexively make an emergency posture.
Even Qiu Changzhou, who was as powerful as Qiu Changzhou, did not move at all, as if he couldn't see the rushing guards at all.
Fortunately, as soon as they got close, they all saluted together, "Palace guards, greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Cato Xiyuan of the Emperor, as well as Qiu Changzhou, vice president of Wangjin Academy, and the eldest young master and eldest lady of the Long family in Longcheng..."
Gu Lie remembered at this time that Prince Xiyuan had such an awkward surname as "Emperor Jiatu".
Over there, he had just finished reading a long welcome speech, and he instantly changed to a fighting posture and conducted an extremely detailed security check on the three people present.
Fortunately, these inspections don't need to be close, otherwise they really have to come up and touch around, Gu Lie was afraid that the eldest sister couldn't help it first, so she drew her sword and faced each other.
Despite this, the process and details of the security check have not been omitted at all, from carrying weapons, toxic substances, strange star materials, mental state, monster posture... Almost every aspect has been taken into account.
When Gu Lie finally thought it was going to end, three golden rays of light suddenly fell from the sky and hit them directly.
Gu Lie was finally horrified to find that his two-star strength was directly pressed into a one-star, and Qiu Changzhou, who was as strong as a nine-star, was reduced to a four-star breath.
The surging feelings of [Rebellion] and [Bloodthirsty] in his heart instantly rushed to his brain, and the royal family was too domineering, right?! When he wanted to burst out more resentment, the water flow cast by Long Yun surged in his body in time, locking his impulse.
The touch from his wrist, Gu Lie could clearly feel that the eldest sister was not inferior to his anger, after all, she regarded her strength as heavier than the sky, and every inch of star power she had obtained now was an interweaving of blood and sweat day and night, and it was suddenly taken away, and this sense of powerlessness frantically washed down her body.
Qiu Changzhou seemed to be familiar with this, he gave Long Xu a meaningful look, and then stepped forward expressionlessly, this powerful nine-star powerhouse really looked like a down-and-out prisoner at this time.
Gu Lie and Long Xu have calmed down, and what followed was a suffocating deflatment, and now they are completely fish on a knife, at the mercy of others. Even if they are among the three major families, they are inseparable kings and ministers after all.
At this moment, the brains of the siblings were running rapidly, and in the fragments of their thoughts, they thought of a lot of things.
If the royal family wants to set up a Hongmen banquet and invite someone to it, can they really get out?
The head of the family, Long Yun, why would he tell him to draw a line with the royal family, why did he stick to Dragon City and never take a step.
Why did Long Qingyue conspire with those things, and together with Qiu Changzhou, he formed a faction of the Long family's struggle, and even pulled Long Xu into the gang.
As for the other more disrespectful, I don't dare to think about it...
"Please" The prince's voice suddenly came, Gu Lie subconsciously turned his head, but saw that between the lightning and flint, Nishigaki showed apology and guilt, his turquoise eyes were unprecedentedly sincere, without a trace of impurities, as if it had become a spring that melted ice and snow, of course, he returned to his usual expression in the next second, and it didn't happen at all just now.
Growing up in such a strict royal family, Prince Nishigaki is an interesting person.
They walked on the grand red carpet into the palace, and the four of them were speechless and did not say anything more.
The two immature juniors were busy adjusting their expressions, trying to put the unpleasantness just now behind for the time being.
Every step Long Xu took, she seemed more worried, and what was pressing on her heart at this time was far more than this.
She really regretted not telling her brother in advance about the important information she had found these days.
Anecdotes about their mothers, Long Qingyu and Emperor Wangjin.
As early as when Nanfeng Mu showed his horse's feet and confronted Long Xu, he used his mother as an excuse and said a lot of things that angered her, including such a "Long Qingyu who almost became a princess".
When the incident was over and Long Xu returned to Dragon City, she went to investigate, and this was really not a lie by Nanfeng Mu, but a well-known fact.
It's just that their siblings are "protected" too well, and they really have a vague understanding of their mother's deeds.
As early as Xinghui 489, 16 years ago, Emperor Wangjin suddenly issued an edict without warning to marry Long Qingyu as the second princess.
At that time, the first princess died in childbirth, and it had been two years since she died, and the one she was lucky to survive in her womb was the current Prince Xiyuan.
The country cannot be without concubines for a day, and it is more important to ensure heirs. Nishigaki was born sick and could die at any time.
Whether it is within the royal family or the people in the market, they are urging Emperor Wangjin to choose a new princess, otherwise there will be no successor, which is not a trivial matter.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that a rule hated by the royal family "As Emperor Wangjin, there can only be one princess", which directly cut off the possibility of three wives and four concubines, which is passed down from generation to generation, and it is quite difficult to have children.
But on the contrary, this is an iron law set by the founding emperor of Wangjin, and even engraved on the monument in the main hall of the palace with his own blood.
What are the consequences of violating this law? The common people do not know, in short, the royal family has passed it down, and no one has ever dared to break the vows.
And the princesses of the past dynasties are all dying, and Emperor Wangjin has almost no chance of marrying a second term, until this emperor, there is finally a change.
The death of the former princess and the remarriage of the step-princess have long been discussed in the market whether this is in line with the rules of the ancestors.
But when the edict was actually announced, everyone's hearts were finally put down.
It seems that the Wangjin Empire is about to usher in a step-princess for the first time.
This candidate finally fell to the Long family, and it was the century-old genius "Long Qingyu" of the famous empire.
No matter how many emotions are mixed with cheers, shouts, doubts, and jealousy, the dust has finally settled.
But in the end, to everyone's surprise...... The Long family actually resisted the decree!
This is the reason why Long Qingyu and the princess missed each other.
After Long Xu learned about this, he was really anxious about this trip to the palace.
