Chapter 258: An Undercurrent in the Palace
"My big gift is to marry the third princess Zhu Yumian to Ling Hao Shaoxia!"
What, poof!
After Ling Hao heard the news, a sip of old wine spurted out three feet away.
However, after the emperor announced the news, everyone in the hall had different expressions.
Some people were happy, some people were smiling, especially Feng Yan'er and Su Qinxin, who looked at Ling Hao with murderous eyes.
Ling Hao and the princess were unclear before, but now that the emperor suddenly gave marriage, I am afraid that it is not small.
Ling Hao was the most flustered, he now had a second daughter, and he was already anxious. Ruhe can still provoke the princess again. Even though the two have known each other for a long time, they have a good emotional foundation.
When the second daughter was about to use a big killing weapon and kill her soul, Ling Hao's desire to survive was instantly full, and he didn't pretend to be drunk, so he didn't hesitate to stand up.
"Your Majesty, this must not be!"
Everyone also understands that the emperor marrying a daughter obviously wants to use a beauty to trap Ling Hao, a genius. But Xianfan is different, how could a person like Ling Hao bend his waist for the sake of a beautiful woman, and besides, there are two female cultivators who have captivated the country and the city by his side.
The emperor naturally knew this, he pressed it with his hand, and continued: "Don't panic, young man, after listening to my conditions, although my Heavenly Sword Dynasty is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the area under its management is still extremely broad.
As long as you marry the jade face, I will offer ten cities in the southwest as a wedding gift. ”
Boom, as soon as the emperor said this, the audience suddenly exploded. You must know that a city can have a territory within a radius of 100 miles, and 10 cities can have a territory of thousands of miles.
The monk pays attention to the law of wealth and land, in which wealth occupies the main position, and ordinary monks, who have worked hard for half a lifetime, are only the savings of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
Su Qinxin only earned more than 50,000 spirit stones after two years of life and death, which was not enough money to sign up.
The Feng family even sold semi-spiritual weapons cheaply to get together Feng Yan'er's registration fee. One can imagine how useful money is for monks.
And Ling Feng is just a small city lord, so you can imagine how big the temptation of ten cities is.
You must know that the taxes, mineral veins, and people of the city belong to the city lord, as long as a table of cities has an income of 100,000 spirit stones in a month, ten cities are 1 million spirit stones.
In other words, it's an astronomical amount of money.
"I figured it out, where is the emperor marrying a daughter, he obviously wants to use ten cities to buy Ling Hao's genius."
"Like, that's ten cities, and I suspect I've misheard. I really envy Ling Hao, not to mention hugging left and right, and the court sends beauties and money, why don't we have such treatment. ”
"I guess Ling Hao should agree, this is a wealth like a mountain of gold, and the princess is still so beautiful. Seeing my big watery eyes, I was restless. ”
Everyone was sure that Ling Hao should answer this family business, but Ling Hao raised his head and said, "Ling Mou thanks Your Majesty for his love, but Su really can't agree to this family business." ”
"Ling Hao Shaoxia thinks that the little girl is a mortal fetus in the flesh, and she is not worthy of being your wife?
You can rest assured of this, I can tell you that my ancestor was also a powerful monk, but in my lineage, there is no way to practice, and if you combine with the little girl, the Lin'er born will have a great chance of having a spiritual root. ”
When the emperor said this, it was already difficult to refuse.
"Your Majesty misunderstood, the princess is beautiful, Ling is very honored to be able to meet her. It's just that Ling already has a heart, and it's really difficult to accept other women. ”
When Ling Hao finished saying this, Feng Yan'er and Su Qinxin smiled behind him.
"Men, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines!" The emperor said lightly, and when he said this, his whole body gradually changed, and he felt a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
"It's really normal, but for Ling, having two confidantes is enough, and he doesn't dare to ask for too much."
"Hmph, Ling Hao, don't be embarrassed! Although the Heavenly Sword Dynasty does not belong to the cultivation world, if I use the strength of the whole country to deal with you, you will not be any better.
I advise you to be a master of the times, even in Tianshu Academy, we still have a certain right to speak. The emperor pretended to be gloomy, but his trembling hands had already exposed his weak heart.
Ling Hao smiled indifferently in the face of the emperor's threat, and said, "Hehe, I have already said that An Neng is a powerful person who bends his eyebrows. ”
"You...... Ahem......" The emperor pointed at Ling Hao angrily, leaning back, almost unsteady, and coughing uncontrollably.
"Ling Hao, you are enough, are you really unable to marry me Zhu Yumian? If you don't marry, you don't marry. Zhu Yumian stepped forward to support the old emperor and kept helping him hold his chest.
"Enough, Jade Face, Ling Shaoxia is the pride of the sky, the Zhu family can't afford it, let him go.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm tired, so that's all for this banquet! Zhu Runlong was on the dragon chair and said weakly.
Since the emperor spoke, the monks did not stay long, and under the command of Lou Tuo, they hurriedly ended the banquet and left one by one.
Among them, the prince took a deep look at the monks present, resolutely stepped out of the main hall, and walked quickly towards the dormitory.
Ling Hao and the three of them were the last to leave, and at Ling Hao's instructions, Su Qinxin and Feng Yan'er left first, leaving Ling Hao alone in the main hall.
Ling Hao bowed to Zhu Runlong and said: "Ling Mou does not have the intention of being self-assured, he does have a heart, and he does not dare to live up to the affection of the jade-faced princess, but if there is someone Ling who can help, he will definitely do his best to go to the soup and go to the fire." ”
After saying this, Ling Hao glanced at Zhu Yumian and left.
Zhu Runlong looked at Ling Hao's back and suddenly said, "He is a good man, if you marry him, I will be relieved." Pity...... Little San'er, father, I'm sorry for you, I originally arranged for you...... Hey, you're miserable! ”
The old emperor stroked Zhu Yumian's hair, and said with a kind and sympathetic face: "Why did you want to be born in the royal family!" ”
"Father, don't worry about me, I'll be with you for the rest of my life." Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Runlong, who was full of sideburns and white hair, and put his head on his knees and said.
"Hey, silly daughter, how can a woman not get married, are you really in front of the deep palace forbidden courtyard in any kind of heaven?
Besides, your eyes have betrayed you a long time ago, you like him, don't you? ”
"How do you like it, and what do you not like? After all, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless! Zhu Yumian said miserably.
"Hey, they all say that the emperor is good, but the emperor is annoyed, he can't even dominate his daughter's marriage, what emperor is, not even a fisherman, and he can't even attend his daughter's wedding." Zhu Runlong sighed.
"Father, don't say that, you will live a hundred years." Zhu Yumian comforted him.
"You don't understand, the storm is coming, I'm afraid I won't have time." Zhu Runlong looked at the black clouds in the distance and said lightly.
That direction is the prince, Zhu Yi's bedroom.
Zhu Yi returned to the dormitory, went straight to his study, pushed open the door, and there was a set of black clothes and beast-shaped masks hanging on the wall, if Ling Hao was here, he would definitely recognize that this set of clothes was worn by the black-clothed spiritual monk who fought fiercely with him in the Black Wind Village.
The prince turned out to be the man in black at that time!!
I saw him gently pull out a book on the shelf, the bookcase moved to the left, and a secret room slowly opened, and there was no light in the secret room, like the mouth of a terrifying beast.
Zhu Yi walked in quickly, as if swallowed by darkness.
