Qiantian Palace is the place where Xuanxi State discusses state affairs, and generally only very important matters will be discussed here, so it is conceivable how much Emperor Xuanxi attaches great importance to the marriage of the seventh princess Ji Yajun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was past noon, and in the Qiantian Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs had already arrived, and Yi Qiu, Ji Rulong and Jin Caiyue were also standing in the center of the main hall.

At the head of the main hall, Emperor Xuanxi sat on the dragon chair, looking at Yi Qiu and the others, constantly bowing his head, as if he was extremely satisfied with the top three in this year's gold list title battle. At this moment, the Empress of the East Palace and Ji Yajun were sitting on his two sides.

Today, Ji Yajun is wearing a golden python-edged gold robe, wearing a carved bandeau dress, faintly visible, the full jade girl peak and slender waist, the hair is coiled high, and there is a golden phoenix hairpin inserted in the end of the hair, the temperament is noble and elegant, and the beautiful face is slightly powdered, making the posture more gorgeous than in the past.

Ji Yajun sat there, but her eyes glanced at Yi Qiu who was standing below from time to time, and in addition to a trace of shyness, there was also a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, seeing such a beautiful Ji Yajun, not to mention Shao Zichen and others, even Jin Caiyue couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"Sure enough, it's a sinking fish and a goose, a shy flower in the closed moon, such a beautiful beauty, no wonder Jiang Yu has been chasing it for so many years. Jin Caiyue said with praise, then looked at Yi Qiu and said, "Senior Brother Yi Qiu, such a beautiful woman, you have to cherish it." ”

Hearing this, Yi Qiu smiled bitterly and was speechless.

At this time, Emperor Xuanxi coughed dryly and said: "The three of you are the top three in the title of the gold list, and the widow will reward you heavily, come and reward Jin Caiyue, the third on the gold list, and six drops of demon beast blood essence." ”

As soon as the words fell, a palace guard walked over with a jade plate in his hand, and six blood-red vials were placed on the jade plate, each of which contained a drop of demon beast blood essence.

Jin Caiyue smiled, bent down to Emperor Xuanxi and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

After finishing speaking, Jin Caiyue put away all the six drops of demon beast blood essence on the jade plate.

"Ji Rulong, who is second on the gold list, will be rewarded with eight drops of demon beast blood essence!"

Another palace guard stepped forward, and at this moment, there were a total of eight blood-red vials on this jade plate, and Ji Rulong did not politely put them away.

"No. 1 on the gold list, Yi Qiu, reward ten drops of demon beast blood essence!"

Finally, two palace guards came up at once, and there were five vials on the jade plate in each person's hand, a total of exactly ten vials, Yi Qiu's eyes flashed, and he put these ten vials into the space ring.

Several palace guards retreated, and Emperor Xuanxi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yi Qiu and said, "Yi Qiu, as the top of the gold list, in addition to these ten drops of demon beast blood essence, the widow has a reward for you." ”

Should come or come, Yi Qiu coughed dryly, and said stiffly: "Your Majesty is referring to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Emperor Xuanxi said with a smile: "Yes, the widow wants to marry the seventh princess to you, are you willing?"

Yi Qiu sighed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess has a captivating appearance and a noble identity, any man will like it, but it's a pity that I can't marry the Seventh Princess." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yajun's delicate body trembled slightly, and her delicate jade face was pale, and her eyes were full of disappointment. As for the others, they all showed surprised expressions, obviously they didn't expect Yi Qiu to refuse such a marriage contract.

After all, in anyone's opinion, as long as you can marry a princess of the royal family, you can justifiably become a member of the royal family, and the future is immeasurable! Not to mention that this princess is still recognized as the first beauty in Xuanxi Kingdom!

Double harvest of wealth and color!

Isn't this guy stupid?

Emperor Xuanxi's smile instantly retracted, a cold glint shot out of his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you refusing? Hmph, do you know the consequences of refusing this emperor's marriage?"

Yi Qiu raised his head and said without humility or arrogance: "I naturally know, but Your Majesty the Emperor, there is a reason why I, Yi Qiu, do not marry the Seventh Princess." ”

Emperor Xuanxi snorted coldly: "Okay, you come and listen, if your reasons are not sufficient, I will condemn you for defrauding the monarch and hang your head outside the palace for public display." ”

Yi Qiu still had an indifferent expression on his face, and said: "May I ask Your Majesty, if I Yi Qiu already had a marriage contract before participating in the gold list competition, if I marry the Seventh Princess again, will it be even more deceitful." ”

Emperor Xuanxi said: "So what? As long as you are willing to marry my daughter, I can send someone to dismiss your marriage contract." ”

This emperor is really domineering enough, in order to marry his own daughter, he even has to dismiss other people's marriage contracts. But if he knew that my fiancée, but the Holy Daughter of the Nine Heavens Xuanzong, he didn't know that this old emperor didn't have the courage to say so.

Yi Qiu scolded in his heart, then shook his head and sighed: "Even so, I can't marry a princess." ”

Emperor Xuanxi snorted angrily: "Why is that? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yi Qiu took a deep breath and said lightly: "Of course I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to involve the princess and the Xuanxi royal family." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xuanxi couldn't help frowning and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Yi Qiu replied: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, there are many enemies below, and some of them are a hundred times stronger than the Xuanxi royal family, so in less than a month, in order to avoid these enemies, I will leave Xuanxi, if the seventh princess follows me, not only the seventh prince will suffer, but I am afraid that the Xuanxi royal family will be implicated because of this." ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xuanxi's face suddenly became embarrassed, as the lord of a country, he naturally knew very well in his heart that in the Bloodline Continent, the Xuanxi royal family was only the lowest first-grade royal family, and there were more powerful forces than them, so what Yi Qiu said was true, then it was really impossible to marry the seventh princess to Yi Qiu, after all, the happiness of the seventh princess was small, but the safety of the Xuanxi royal family was not a trivial matter.

It's just that Emperor Xuanxi felt that Yi Qiu didn't want to marry the seventh princess, so he deliberately made up a lie.

So at this moment, he was a little hesitant.

At this time, that Ji Rulong's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and said: "Father, Yi Qiu's words are not fiction, it is rumored that there have been many killers who secretly infiltrated the Sword Martial Arts Academy to assassinate Yi Qiu, and later if it wasn't for the dean and elders of the Sword Martial Arts Academy to personally take action, Yi Qiu might have died that day." ”

In fact, those killers were sent by Ji Rulong, but Ji Rulong didn't want Yi Qiu to become a member of the royal family, so he pushed the boat down the river and took the opportunity to help Yi Qiu.

As soon as Emperor Xuanxi heard this, he naturally no longer doubted it, not to mention that Yi Qiu didn't agree at this moment, even if Yi Qiu took the initiative to marry the princess, he wouldn't agree, he immediately coughed dryly, and said with interest: "Since this is the case, then this marriage is abandoned, and the two of you can leave." ”
