The blue sky is as clear and clear as it was two years ago.

In the morning grassland, a long caravan drove slowly on the central avenue, the vines on both sides of the road were blowing in the wind, and the grass seeds were flying all over the sky.

"My faith dances with my dreams, and my heart will turn into a long sword and be unyielding"

In the middle of the convoy, a licorice cart surrounded many people, and when the boy-looking boy finished singing a song, bursts of applause broke out from the ground.

"Good!"

"Little cub, you can do it!"

The big men who followed the convoy whistled below, and the big-bellied merchant laughed and carried the boy to the ground, then turned his head and rubbed his hands.

"Come on, willing to gamble and lose, everyone will give money!"

The other big men looked at each other and smiled bitterly, shook their heads and took out their money bags from their bodies.

"Fooled!"

"Wang Tou raised a good son, but I didn't expect him to really sing Her Royal Highness the Princess's "Faith"!"

They counted the small pieces of change and put them in the merchant's hand, and the merchant smiled from ear to ear - the money was so easy to earn. However, suddenly a golden coin appeared in front of him, and the merchant swallowed his saliva and looked up, and several strange people in cloak stood in front.

"Want this coin?"

A woman spoke, and her crisp female voice was like a glass of ice water in the summer.

"I want to! Want!! The merchant nodded wildly, how could anyone not want it.

"Then answer a few of my questions"

The woman's voice brought a smile: "Who is the owner of that song just now?" ”

"Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess." The merchant was stunned for a moment, he glanced at the woman's dress with a strange gaze, and then suddenly realized: "You must be from the Vermilion Bird Continent!" Oh, no wonder you don't know! ”

However, as soon as these words came out, a big man next to him immediately shouted loudly: "Wang Tou, don't you know how to pretend to understand, the image of Her Royal Highness the Princess has long been sold to the Vermilion Bird Continent by the damned mages." ”

"Haha, Lao Chen, you told a joke again, how could the king not understand!" Another big man patted the former on the shoulder and laughed: "The mages only sell the images to the nobles of the Vermilion Bird Continent, where the territory is vast and boundless, how can ordinary people know about Her Royal Highness the princess compared to our Jade Empire!" ”

"Huh!"

Dahan had a ghostly look on his face: "My mother was nagging me a few days ago, I thought that Her Royal Highness the princess knew about everyone." ”

"Stupid, the world is not just a country in the Jade Empire!"

The big men laughed in unison,

Several strange people in cloaks looked at them a little strangely, and the woman who made the crisp sound before continued to ask, "Is that princess's name Xia Han?" ”

"Yes." The merchant became more and more puzzled, it was the first time he had seen someone who knew the princess's name but did not know her identity: "The owner of the song "Faith" just now is our little princess Xia Han of the empire. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess loves to sing everywhere, she"

Before the merchant could finish speaking, the woman tossed the gold coin in his hand and left with the rest of her companions. They didn't speak, but walked along the convoy to the end of the car, and then into a few beautiful carriages.

"Is the princess really the child of the missing lord? He's also exaggerated, and there are humans talking about him everywhere. ”

"Latice, no, how come the little lord is not as unknown as you say? Now that the difficulty of taking him has increased, what should we do? ”

Several eccentrics looked at the woman in it, who sat in the carriage and lifted her cloak, revealing her shining blonde hair and pointed ears.

"That kid wasn't like this before, and this time it's too much to play."

After four years, Bai Xue, the female elf who set foot on the Qilin Continent again, had her ears lowered and her face was sad: "Let's go to Jade City to find him first." ”

"I hope he doesn't go anywhere else."

――――

Almost at the same moment, the nobles from above quarreled in the Emerald Hall, and the focus of their quarrel was the same as that of Bai Xue and his party.

"What a little princess, we only have one real princess! Just a singer, why can it have such a big impact! ”

A middle-aged nobleman who had always been steady was a little dissatisfied.

"That can't be helped! I had proposed to kill the little princess a long time ago, and who would have thought that Wujing would make her influence so great would be uneasy and kind, and they would help and promote the little princess to confuse the untouchables, what is the song girl plan - the method used by the plan to spread and promote saints, those guys are the best at doing this kind of thing! ”

"That's right, the singer plan, it's it, it's the culprit!"

Immediately someone found the right culprit, and others quarreled about it:

"Didn't the singer plan plan be planned by the little princess herself?"

"Stupid, you still believe such a lie? This must be the howl that Wujing deliberately released in order to lower our vigilance."

"What a flawless princess of the Empire, the patron saint of the commoners, is nothing but a liar!"

"Liars? Lord Marquis, I heard that your wife bought a few tickets to the liar's concert. ”

"That woman, what does she know! Besides, isn't your son also involved in the princess protection society organized by the young nobles! ”

"What, that son of a!!"

There was a commotion in the audience, and the nobles soon began to reveal each other's family backgrounds without any image.

Imperial King Xia Ming clenched the edge of the throne tightly with his hand, he had never been so angry as he was now.

"Shut up!"

At this moment, a female voice landed coldly, and the hall instantly fell silent.

The one who opened her mouth to suppress the audience was Xia Yun, the eldest princess of the empire who was about to become an adult, she was dressed in an emerald green tight robe, and her eyes were full of anticipation with every word, which was fascinating.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xia Han's convoy will arrive in Emerald City soon, you still don't want to think about countermeasures!"

She was so sarcastic.

"Yun'er"

Xia Ming's anger in his heart decreased slightly, and he glanced at his daughter with praise - for so many years, only this daughter was his best helper. The aristocrats are all pig brain waste, but there is no way, after all, these nobles are completely different from the batch nine years ago.

Xia Ming is very glad that she has a smart and sensible child, and what is even more rare is that she is clean and self-loving - without the squeamishness and scandals of other noble ladies.

"That puppet took the initiative to return to the Emerald City, although it has an alien influence, but this is also a rare opportunity for you to talk about how to deal with her problem."

The king looked around the hall and asked questions to the quiet nobles.

Four months ago, in the Demon Bone Desert on the western side of the Wind Grassland, some tall, sturdy aliens with beast ears and tails had appeared, and these aliens were hidden behind the Yellow Sands, and the Empire didn't take them seriously because they didn't cause much of a problem.

However, Xia Han, who sang in various places, suddenly announced to the outside world that these alien races would lead a large army to invade the Emerald Empire. This claim caused panic throughout the empire, and the people petitioned the political axe to send troops to eradicate the aliens.

The fact that the words of a singer caused an entire country to unrest is truly appalling, and it is the reason why the nobles quarrel today.

"If you still think about anything, just kill it."

A nobleman with a tyrannical mind proposed, but there were more sensible people who immediately denied him: "You can't kill, now the mighty little princess is a hot potato, and besides, it was rumored that Your Majesty looked down on her and killed her like this is not good for Your Majesty's reputation." ”

"Actually, I think it's okay to be casual, anyway, she didn't get involved in politics, so she didn't have to pay attention to it."

However, this concept was not recognized by others, and most of the nobles raised their vigilance: "Your Majesty, this time the people are panicking and forcing us to send troops!" Isn't this a manifestation of the little princess's involvement in politics? ”

After a period of stalemate, there was a final answer to the issue.

"Your Majesty's spies report that those alien races are far less terrifying than the little princess said, they have nothing to do except for their strange appearance, we can flatter the little princess's statement and send elite soldiers to eradicate the alien race, and then claim that her statement is exaggerated, which can make her image that she has been shaping for two years shattered."

They finally got an answer that everyone was satisfied with, and at the same time, this could also be a valid reason for Xia Ming to kill Xia Han.

Xia Jing pondered for a moment, and he smiled: "Then protect him first, and when we get rid of those alien races, we will condemn him for the crime of bewitching the people!" ”

His eyes looked at his daughter: "Xia Yun, you go to pick her up outside the city." ”

The king thought he had made a wise choice, and Xia Yun was the person he trusted the most, and she was able to welcome Xia Han's return on behalf of the royal family - and it showed the world that the king did not look down on the daughter of the old king.

however

That's not going to be a good idea.

In August 998, the eldest princess of the Jade Empire, Xia Yun, greeted the 'Imperial Singer' at the gate of the city who had returned after two years of absence, and Xia Han, the prince of the Jade Empire.

In order not to cause chaos, the capital guards isolated the bustling crowd.

In the afternoon, the sun is blazing, the heat wave on the other side of the horizon rolls the loess, and the huge convoy belonging to the summer cold slowly approaches.

However, there were no shocking scenes, and there were no worrying accidents, Xia Yun depicted countless scenes of reunion with her brother in her dreams, but she did not expect that only a child was smiling in front of her.

"Thank you for picking me up, Sister Xia Yun"

Xia Han had a smile on his face without the slightest hatred, and he made Xia Yun feel strange.

But her brother is still that beautiful.
