Chapter 217: The Princess's Fate
On the other side, Lu Ling finally received a message from Pang Ying, which was a note stuffed to him by a subordinate when he was wandering around the mansion.
The above is a sentence written by Pang Ying, "Everything is ready, fifteen will meet, follow the trend~"
He didn't suspect it, it had the seals of Pang Ying and the county lord on it: "Fifteen, isn't there only two days left?
If there is another accident that causes him to be dragged to the prison again for a period of time, it is estimated that all the dishes outside will be cold.
It's just the last sentence on this note, he can't figure it out: "This sentence follows the trend, I don't know what the trend is, is something going to happen in the past few days?"
couldn't figure it out, so Lu Ling decided to wait with peace of mind, he was trapped in this palace now, and he couldn't help Pang Ying with anything.
But the next day, he was dumbfounded, Wan Qingxia came back, the key is not just to come back.
"Lu Ling, you're finally fine, how about it, life in prison is not easy, their prison guards didn't embarrass you, I've been interceding for you at the queen mother these days, and the queen mother insisted on keeping me for a few days, so I haven't been able to come back;"
Wan Qingxia seemed to have changed a person, shushed for warmth, and patiently explained to Lu Ling, as if she was a real daughter-in-law, Lu Ling felt uncomfortable, just said that it was okay, but it was still behind.
Wan Qingxia suddenly looked away a little shyly, and said to Lu Ling with a red face: "Just now, when I came back, the queen mother said that today my father will issue a decree to officially confirm our marriage, and we are even engaged;"
"What, this~What's the situation~"
Lu Ling's heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, his expression was stunned, and his face was a little bitter, why did he get engaged? This time is so coincidental, even if it is a day or two.
In the Ziyang Empire, whether it is an ordinary family or a high-ranking official or nobleman, as long as she is engaged, for a woman, she is labeled as that man, and it is difficult to remarry for life, and she will almost never remarry, especially the high-ranking officials and nobles attach great importance to this kind of thing, and the matter of remarriage is almost zero, so for this kind of thing, anyone will be cautious.
To put it simply, as long as the engagement is reached, if Lu Ling does not marry Wan Qingxia, then this beautiful girl is doomed to tragedy in the future.
Lu Ling was a little embarrassed, very embarrassed: "This, Princess Qingxia, let me see, is this matter something to consider, after all, this matter is too ~;"
Wan Qingxia looked at Lu Ling quietly, Lu Ling was stared at a little weakly, and turned his head in embarrassment, no matter how beautiful that face was, he didn't dare to look at it at this time.
Wan Qingxia said calmly: "Do you think that the royal family, since they have been talking about wanting to promote this matter for several months in advance, have you not considered it? Moreover, have you ever asked anyone to say that you disagree with this family affair at the beginning?"
"I've looked for it~" Lu Ling turned his head and wanted to respond quickly.
"You mean me?" Wan Qingxia interrupted.
Then he opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, and the sadness on his face made Lu Ling in a trance: "You have found the wrong person, although I am a princess, but in the face of fate, even I can only let it go, what use can you find me?"
Lu Ling looked at this beauty directly, although he didn't want to continue to break her heart, he still asked, "Then you didn't make it clear to me at the beginning?"
"That's enough;" Wan Qingxia let out a sad low roar, seeming to be a little excited.
Seeing Lu Ling's stunned expression, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she regained her calm and said: "How can you know the pain of being a princess of the royal family, so be it, if you don't want to marry me, I won't force it, but the holy decree still has to be accepted, otherwise you won't even have a chance to go out of the palace gate tomorrow, and how can you implement the plan later;"
After saying this, she didn't wait for Lu Ling to say more, and turned around and left directly, Lu Ling saw very clearly that her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, causing him to raise his hand that was ready to hold it and continue to ask was in the air, and he could only slowly withdraw it again.
As the saying goes, things can't help but think, and only half an hour has passed, Lu Ling frowned and held a roll of purple-gold silk, this is the holy decree, what Wan Qingxia said is true.
"It's just, it's too fast;" Looking at this thing, Lu Ling smiled bitterly.
Thinking that at the beginning, she only thought about cultivating hard, and then went to find emptiness, in order to spend the rest of her life together, even if it was just the simplest to accompany each other, he thought very simply.
Later, I met Pang Ying by mistake, and the experience of the two was life and death, but as a result, before the matter with Pang Ying was settled, a princess suddenly appeared, and he was forcibly stuffed with a wife-to-be.
Now he doesn't know what to do, although it is still a long time before they become an official couple, but now the two are already recognized as a quasi-couple in the world, and he doesn't believe that this matter has not been announced.
"But, alas~" everything turned into a deep sigh.
In the quiet courtyard, Pang Ying sat on the stone platform, and wisps of wind and fire attribute aura were pulled by her and poured into her body from all over her body, among which the wind attribute aura was obviously faster, but the total amount was less than half of the fire attribute aura.
After some consolidation, her realm in the early stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm has been stabilized, and the progress in all aspects is obvious, but all of this is inseparable from the full support of the family, let alone those two.
Pang Ying finished his cultivation and just got up, when a maid came in from outside the door: "County Lord, this is an invitation sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the official family in his mansion;"
Pang Ying's beautiful eyes flashed, and she took the invitation and looked at it: "Where is the butler of the Prince's Mansion?"
The maid replied: "If you go back to the county lord, he is still waiting for the county lord's reply in the front hall;"
Pang Ying raised his head and said, "Tell him that I will definitely go to the meeting tomorrow;"
After the maid retreated, Pang Ying's hand holding the invitation card suddenly tightened a little: "It's finally this day, we must pass this hurdle smoothly;"
On this day, the Dragon and Tiger Villa in the western district of the imperial capital city was inexplicably taken over, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and only a few people were qualified to know that it was about to gather the true geniuses and powerhouses of the entire Ziyang Empire, as well as a very small number of young people of the same generation with special status.
In a square full of white jade paving, surrounded by lush mountains and forests, under the mountain, there are wooden high bridges through the peaks, straight to the white jade square, at this time there have been a lot of people gathered here, Lu Ling and Princess Qingxia came relatively late, almost the last to enter.
As far as the eye could see, Lu Ling was shocked in his heart, many people noticed that there was such a timid person next to the princess, with a weird or mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately set his eyes on the princess, such a follower was not worth thinking about.
Lu Ling was shocked, and the square he saw gathered no less than 100 people at this time, most of them were attendants who came with him, and they were all trying their best to support their own young lady.
"Spirit Emperor Consummation~"
"I can't see through this~"
"It's the Spirit Emperor Consummation again~"
"This is finally normal, the peak of the Spirit Emperor~"
"What, another one who can't see through the strength~"
"I can't see through it again~"
"Spirit Emperor Consummation~"
......
Lu Ling had been repeating these words in his heart, and every time he looked at a young peer in the field, he immediately judged in his heart that this person's strength was probable.
He mechanically followed the princess to a place, didn't notice the eyes of others, and sat straight next to Wan Qingxia, which made Wan Qingxia look at it in surprise.
It's a pity that Lu Ling didn't pay attention at all, just lowered his head, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly: "I said that the empire is definitely hidden, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying, these people are about the same age as me, but most of the strength is stronger than me, it turns out that this is the top genius of the empire? But why are these people not famous?"
Only then did he realize how ridiculous the pride in his heart and the complacency that he had born from time to time were.
"Get out of here, this kind of position can be sat in by a house slave of yours?" interrupted Lu Ling with a ruthless sentence.
Looking up, it was a heroic man from Yushu Linfeng, staring at Lu Ling fiercely, as if he wanted to break Lu Ling's body into ten thousand pieces.
This Lu Ling knew that his strength was the same as him in the realm of the Spirit King Realm, but Lu Ling didn't feel too much threat in him.
Looking to both sides, there are obviously many vacant seats: "I said that this brother has so many positions, you can't compete with me for this one;"
This person didn't expect Lu Ling to say this, his face was cold, and then he turned his head to Wan Qingxia and hugged his fists respectfully and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Gusu is polite;"
"Childe Gusu doesn't have to be polite;" Wan Qingxia responded with a smile.
Lu Ling's gaze suddenly raised, he didn't expect that this person was actually from the Gusu family, the great clan of the empire.
has been here for a long time, and he has not been idle, Wan Qingxia will pull him to chat about all kinds of gossip every few days, and he also reads various books and records every day, so he naturally understands more people and things.
And among them, the Gusu family, which is one of the six major sects of the empire, how can he not know that although it is ranked last, each family is stronger than any of the eight major sects.
But now it is the five families and eight major sects, because the Lin family has been driven into the abyss some time ago, and the reason is not known to the world at all, only that the Lin family is finished.
Gu Suxing looked at Wan Qingxia, and her eyes flashed hot: "The princess is absolutely talented, I have heard of it in the morning, but I only saw it today, and it is really better than the rumors, I don't know if I can sit with Her Royal Highness the princess;"
Wan Qingxia still smiled lightly: "Thank you for the praise of Gongzi Gusu, but this princess is already married, so Gongzi Gusu should find another place;"
Gu Suxing's gaze still did not change: "That's just an engagement, it's not that you haven't married yet!"
"Master Gusu, please respect yourself;" Wan Qingxia put away her smile and said softly.
Gu Suxing's eyes moved, and he looked at Lu Ling: "Okay, then I want to ask, it is understandable that Her Royal Highness the princess can sit here, but a subordinate is sitting here without any rudeness, I am afraid it will lose the princess's face;"
