Twenty-three boars, a number that you knew was cheating as soon as you heard it, aroused a burst of criticism from those present.

"No, I obviously saw the Nine Princes come back empty-handed, where did these twenty-three boars come from?"

"That's right, is it possible, will there be a boar in this pigsty?"

"Don't think too much, even if there are twenty-three heads, I heard that this eldest princess of Minghua and the thirteenth prince have long had a personal affair, and in the end, he will definitely be chosen, the ninth prince is the same as us, but he is here to foil."

Hearing this, the Nine Princes glared at Lin Donglai with bruised faces, seeing that the other party was so weak-hearted.

Xiao Thirteen looked at his Nine Emperor Brother in disbelief, and suddenly felt a sense of being deceived.

"The top five are the Nine Princes, Yang Gongzi, Su Gongzi, Famous Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince." The deacon and eunuch turned around diligently, looked at Yue Xiaoxiao, and said kindly: "Please also ask the princess to choose your wishful husband from among them according to the agreement." ”

Xiao Thirteen puffed out his chest nervously, remembering that just now he was fortunate that the Lan guards had deceived and coaxed the competitors to hug each other, otherwise, he would not be able to squeeze into the top five, and now, everything is ready only to owe Dongfeng, as long as Xiaoxiao nods, he can be selected.

Yue Xiaoxiao, who was dressed solemnly, slowly walked down the steps, and the maid held an umbrella to cover her with the fine snow falling from the sky.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the young man's hands that were red from the cold, and her nose suddenly swelled with a sour nose.

Those slender little hands grasped the dress tightly, as if they wanted to rub all their unwillingness into the palms of their hands.

"Princess, it's not too early, if you haven't decided yet, you might as well ...", the deacon and eunuch kindly reminded.

Before she finished speaking, the woman interrupted softly.

"No need, this palace chooses him."

She looked away, and under the stunned expressions of everyone, she raised her hand and pointed at the Nine Princes.

Not to mention the old emperor and the queen mother, even the ninth prince himself was very puzzled, before, wasn't this barbaric princess very resistant?

Also on the left, don't have thoughts about other people's husbands, and on the right, don't be bad intentions for other people's ladies.

Dare to love, these are all lied to him?

If you want to get away with it...

The stunned Nine Princes were like a husky who was only puzzled, and suddenly met Xiao Thirteen's eyes full of jealousy and hatred, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

"Big brother, you lied to me."

"Brother Huang didn't... The eldest princess from Minghua, are you pointing the wrong point? The Nine Princes, who were speechless, asked in a low voice.

How do you know, the woman wearing the red mask said very resolutely: "That's right, this palace just wants you, the Nine Princes of Wanqiong Kingdom, to be my Minghua Kingdom's East Bed Fast Son-in-law." ”

Yue Xiaoxiao turned around slightly, raised her head, looked at the old emperor, and said with a serious expression: "Please also ask Wanqiong Guojun to keep his promise and choose a date for the two of us to get married." ”

Hearing this, the desperate young man's lips trembled and he gritted his teeth, brushed her shoulder, and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother frowned and whispered his name worriedly, Little Thirteen.

Seeing that Yue Xiaoxiao's gaze was still unwavering, the old emperor sighed slightly and said: "Since Princess Haoyue has chosen my Nine Emperors, I will fulfill you and give you two a marriage, and you will not get married in the future." ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman closed her eyes resignedly, and her sorrow was condensed in the falling tears.

The next day, the masked exotic princess was re-announced to the palace to explain the assassination in the paddock yesterday.

"Yesterday, there were many people in the paddock, and I thought that you might have a hard time, so I gave you a chance, and I left it for today to explain, you have to think carefully, what you said today will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

The cold-eyed old emperor accentuated his tone slightly, and emphasized: "Why did your Minghua Kingdom's Liuque Army appear in the enclosure, you were late yesterday, were you secretly planning this?" ”

Yue Xiaoxiao raised her head and happened to meet the cold gaze of the old emperor, plucked up her courage, and replied loudly:

"This matter is someone pretending to be the Liuque Army to deliberately sabotage the relationship between Minghua and Wan Qiong, if this palace really deliberately planned this assassination, how could he be dressed up to be there, at that time, this palace can take the opportunity to slip away, and there is no need for this palace to choose the nine princes known as the 'God of War' as a husband."

The old emperor's gaze sank, and he looked at the woman in front of him with suspicion.

"Yesterday's assassins were obviously from the Liuque Army, and the sword feathers also belonged to your Minghua Kingdom, but you told me that they were fakes? It is clear that when you saw that the matter was revealed, you pretended to choose the Nine Emperors, and wanted to use the 'delaying tactic' to delay Wan Qiong's dispatch of troops, and then carry out a sneak attack. ”

In the Jinluan Palace, the atmosphere was solemn, and it seemed that the slightest carelessness would completely anger Long Yan.

The woman silently stepped forward and said something unmistakable.

"Back to Wanqiong Guojun, if this palace and the ninth prince really get married, once they fight, my husband and my imperial brother will meet each other on the battlefield, this palace thinks, no one will make such a choice."

"Are you really willing to marry the Ninth Prince, no chance?"

At that moment, Yue Xiaoxiao's mind remembered the secret letter sent by the imperial brother, and she was familiar with telling the lies she was best at.

It's just that this time she not only wants to deceive others, but also herself.

"Yes, this palace is willing to marry the Ninth Prince."

The woman clenched her fists quietly, silently reciting the content of the secret letter in her heart, [The Liuque Army rebelled, and the ninth prince was chosen as the son-in-law, so as to ensure the peace of the two parties].

"Alright, you can go back."

Hearing this, Yue Xiaoxiao turned around in a trance and walked out of the palace gate, just on the way to the carriage, she met the person she didn't want to see at this time, and she couldn't let go of the most.

Looking at the familiar but haggard face, the woman looked away fiercely, thinking about passing each other, and ended the encounter in silence.

"Where do you want to go? Don't you even have a word of explanation for this king? ”

Xiao Thirteen, whose eyes were red, grabbed Yue Xiaoxiao's wrist hard and didn't let her leave.

Seeing this, the servant girl who was guarding her rushed forward and warned Xiao Thirteen: "The thirteen princes of Minghua Kingdom, since the princess has chosen your ninth prince as her husband, and advises you not to entangle, you will have no results." ”

Yue Xiaoxiao raised her sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around, looked at him with an indifferent face, and said, "You guys step back first, and let this palace say goodbye to him before the wedding." ”

"Yes, Princess."

Hearing this, Xiao Thirteen sneered like crazy: "Farewell? ”

"After getting married, Xiaoxiao will only be loyal to her husband, so naturally she will say goodbye." The woman's tone was stiff.

"Loyal to my husband..."

It was originally a heart-warming word, but now, to his ears, it is like a knife blade, cutting his heart.

The husband in her mouth can no longer be herself.

"Why are you..."He grabbed Yue Xiaoxiao's shoulder, stepped forward, and asked: "Why did you break the promise between us, you said that no matter what you do, you will choose this king in the end, is the sentence 'Little Thirteen will not live up to me, I will not live up to Little Thirteen' is false?" ”

Yue Xiaoxiao, who was speechless, looked at those sad eyes, sad and desperate, and cried unconsciously.

The young man cried and asked, "You speak, the sentence you said in the paddock was between me and him, and you chose him, did you mean me Nine Emperor Brothers?" ”

Yue Xiaoxiao, who couldn't cry, bowed her body in pain, and could only endure the grievances in her heart.

She wanted to shake her head and tell him, no, no.

Little Thirteen, as she speaks, is her country.

There are thousands of people, and she can't bear any of them.

With tears in her eyes, Yue Xiaoxiao pushed him away tremblingly, and said painfully, "I'm sorry." ”

It was the last sentence she left behind when she resolutely turned around, and the unspoken verse in her heart.

The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king.

*

Coincidentally, there was also a man who was also worried about the big wedding, and there was another man, no matter how gentle the maid's movements were, and how light the fingertips pressed on his temples, he just felt irritable, and the headache was not relieved at all.

"Alright, let's go down."

Vice General Lin, who had just entered the door, saw the Ninth Prince shaking his head and waving his hand, and hurriedly asked, "Aren't you happy that you can marry the eldest princess of Minghua Kingdom as originally planned?" ”

"What the hell are you happy, you don't know, what did he say when the king of Japan chased him out to find Xiao Thirteen."

Vice General Lin looked at the Ninth Princes curiously and asked, "Prince, what did the Thirteenth Princes say?" ”

"He said..."

The Ninth Prince instantly remembered Xiao Thirteen's angry words that broke his heart - "Big brother, you lied to me!" You also said that you didn't like Xiaoxiao, but as a result, you cheated and secretly won the first place, so that she could choose you! ”

"Don't mention it, this white-eyed wolf!" The Nine Princes clenched his fists in annoyance.

"Then the ninth prince, is he still marrying the eldest princess of Minghua Kingdom?"

The Nine Princes raised their eyes, resisted the urge to roll their eyes, looked at Vice General Lin, and asked rhetorically: "The holy decree of the Holy Lord has been issued, can this king not marry?" This king is strange, I haven't seen you do things so properly, this time you have arranged such a proper hunting of mountain pigs, do you want to resign and return to your hometown to raise pigs? ”

"No, no, no, Lord Wang, this is a big misunderstanding, didn't the subordinates make suggestions for the sake of you, Lord Wang?" Vice General Lin touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Lord Wang, don't boast about your subordinates, your subordinates will be proud." ”

"I'm not praising you!"

At this time, Liusan, the housekeeper of the Ninth Prince, walked in and said: "Back to the Prince, there is a man wearing a mask outside the door who asks to see him, he said that he is holding your ink treasure, and also said that the prince will teach him to write, Xiao thought to himself, this person must be talking nonsense, how could the prince teach him to write, therefore, I have come to ask the prince, do you want to take a broom and drive him out?" ”

The Nine Princes raised their eyes slightly, and the sharp eagle eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

"No, please let her in."

Liusan was stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Wang"

Before long, the girl in the white mask followed the butler and walked into the Nine Princes' Mansion, and along the way, she looked at the decoration of the palace childishly and innocently like a child who had never seen the world.

"Return, prince, the person has been brought, I wonder if the prince has any other instructions?"

"No, let's go down."

The Nine Princes looked at the masked man suspiciously, he was still wearing coarse linen clothes, and there was a little blood on it, and he looked like he hadn't bathed for a long time.

"Lord Wang, is he the boy you are talking about?" Vice Admiral Lin asked suspiciously.

"That's right, it's none of your business here, let's go back first." The curly-haired man waved his hands coldly and ruthlessly drove Vice General Lin away.

"Yes, lord."

Vice General Lin, who passed by, turned his head slightly, looked at the masked boy, and his heart was full of doubts, and the 'Nine Princes' broken sleeves seemed to be re-attacked.

"Your name is Ahsan?"

"Little Thirteen told you?" The masked man muttered without emotion, "It's really not a mouthful. ”

"This king has long said that he will teach you to write, why did he come today?"

But he had to wait until the news of the eldest princess of Minghua Kingdom and his wedding was announced to the world before he came to the house to find him.

"I just picked up the rags and came back, so I have time to learn to write, so you can teach me quickly." The masked man said unceremoniously.

The Nine Princes raised their eyebrows lightly and looked at the masked man playfully.

Picking up junk? He might have believed it before.

But after seeing your skills in the jungle, how do you want him to believe that you are just an ordinary rag picker?

Besides, with this person's skills, there is no need to get blood on his body at all.

"What is the rag you talk about every day?"
