Xu Bai walked in front, Qingxue followed, and the two walked in the wide palace, talking from time to time.

Most places in the palace are rarely frequented, but there are many shadows hidden in the shadows.

Along the way, the two walked very slowly and talked a lot, mostly about the past.

"I never thought that you would only be able to reach one product at most, but now it is an existence that I can't look up to." Qingxue crossed her hands and placed them on her lower abdomen, looking down at the ground.

She felt that at this time, she should find something to kick, such as kicking pebbles.

But the palace was cleaned.

"Who would have thought?" Xu Bai smiled: "I didn't expect that I would be able to get to where I am today. ”

After getting the golden finger, what he thought about the most was actually to find a place to get up and slowly improve the liver clarity bar.

But I never thought that now I can't get up, but I have become a person known by the whole world.

"It's here." Qingxue stopped, and suddenly as if she had made up her mind, she leaned into Xu Bai's ear, held Xu Bai's shoulder with her hand, and whispered: "The ninth princess is going to ask Your Majesty for marriage, and she wants Your Majesty to pass on your will and let you marry her." ”

After saying this, she took two steps back and said nothing more.

Xu Bai was stunned, this was beyond his expectations.

Thinking about this trip, maybe something else would happen, but I never expected that the ninth princess would want His Majesty to give marriage.

What is this operation?

Xu Bai connected the front and back, remembering that before, when the emperor asked him how to divide the barbarians' land, suddenly, he thought of the reason.

"I see, I finally understand what she means."

"She wants to use the fact of marrying me to elevate her identity, and then she can manage the barbarian fiefdom."

Xu Bai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Although he didn't know the clear result, when he communicated with Emperor Chu just now, he could also hear what Emperor Chu meant.

It is roughly to be chosen among the eldest prince and the ninth princess, and as for the other princes, they are not considered.

And Emperor Chu said that the ninth princess is a woman, which proves that he still prefers the eldest prince.

In fact, in any way, it is correct to favor the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is alone in the bloody battlefield at the border pass, and he has paid an unknown amount of danger.

If you look at the merits, the ninth princess really can't be compared with the eldest prince.

But looking at the current situation, the ninth princess wanted to struggle and pull Xu Bai onto the boat.

"Your Majesty agreed?" Xu Bai asked.

Qingxue shook her head: "The princess hasn't gone yet, but she has mentioned it to Her Majesty many times, and it is said that Your Majesty also has this intention." ”

"I remember that His Majesty said at that time, you are already a member of the Great Chu Kingdom, and if you marry a princess again, then you will kiss and kiss."

Bullshit kiss and kiss.

Xu Bai pursed his lips.

If you want to talk about the appearance of the ninth princess, it is also extremely beautiful, and it also has a noble and lazy atmosphere.

For a man, it is an extremely happy thing to conquer such a noble and lazy beauty.

But Xu Bai didn't want to get involved in any factors, including the current situation, he didn't want to be a pawn to be used.

"Go in first." Xu Bai thought for a moment and said.

He has already thought of a countermeasure, and when the time comes, he will explain it directly, and if he doesn't agree.

Qingxue nodded lightly and continued to lead the way in front, and after a short time, the two came to the mansion of the ninth princess.

The door was tightly closed, and only two maids stood guard outside.

When they saw Xu Bai and Qingxue coming, the two maids opened the door, and then lowered their eyes to the ground, not daring to look directly at Xu Bai.

There are many rules in the palace, and everyone in the palace has learned them.

One of the most important points is that a big man like Xu Bai, who is a maid, must not look at each other.

Xu Bai didn't care about this, and strode in directly, with Qingxue following behind.

When the two walked in, Xu Bai saw the familiar table, as well as the wine and food on the table.

The ninth princess was dressed in yellow, put her elbows on the table, and looked at Xu Bai with her head propped up.

Due to the reason of the sideways body, the waist is up and down, and there is an amazing curvature.

The light makeup on the face adds a bit of beauty, coupled with the noble and lazy temperament, as well as the slightly dim light around it, the atmosphere is full of feeling.

"Lord Xu, please take a seat." The ninth princess raised her hand and motioned for Xu Bai to sit down.

Xu Bai was not polite, sat down directly, and then picked up the chopsticks next to him and prepared to eat.

Although the strength has reached their level, it is nothing to go without eating for a long time, but the appetite is what everyone pursues.

His movements were fast, and he didn't mean to speak, as if this trip was just for dinner.

The ninth princess looked at the man in front of her who only knew how to eat, and her eyes were full of brilliance.

This man, with his transcendent ranks, will be killed in the holy nine grades.

Now the whole world knows him.

As long as his name is spoken, it will attract countless admiration and admiration, and even countless people will take him as an example.

The ninth princess really didn't expect that Xu Bai, who was once born lowly, has now reached a position that she can't even reach.

But she is also very glad that she did not have a bad relationship with Xu Bai at the beginning, so she has today's situation.

"Today, only you are worthy of me." The Ninth Princess said suddenly.

Xu Bai stretched out his chopsticks and stopped, and instantly felt that his appetite was completely gone.

"Eat, don't talk about such disgusting things."

The ninth princess smiled: "Am I a disgusting thing for you?" ”

Xu Bai nodded naturally: "Yes." ”

The ninth princess was stunned on the spot, her big eyes wide open.

Such an answer made her directly extinguish the fire.

Xu Bai said slowly: "I know what you want, I have already made a suggestion to Your Majesty, but this is your family matter after all, so I can only make a little suggestion." ”

He did not continue to detour around the bend, but spoke bluntly about the topic.

The ninth princess's eyes lit up: "Father...... How so? ”

Xu Bai took another bite of the dish: "He said that you are a woman after all." ”

When the ninth princess heard this, her eyes instantly dimmed.

She picked up the flask next to her, poured herself a glass, and drank it with her head up, and the drink overflowed her lips and ran down her fair neck because she drank it so quickly.

Seeing this, Xu Bai paused for a moment and said, "With all due respect, whether it is merit or other aspects, the eldest prince is all above you compared to you, and it can't fall into your hands." ”

The ninth princess did not answer and continued to drink.

After drinking three glasses in a row, she filled Xu Bai with a full glass.

Xu Bai took a sip and smacked his lips.

Good wine, but not the one who drinks with him.

"I've been waiting, waiting for this day, but I didn't expect, I still didn't wait." The ninth princess smiled bitterly.

Xu Bai casually picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped his mouth: "Don't you understand what I mean?" ”

The ninth princess shook her head, indicating that she did not understand.

Xu Bai stood up: "I just said, your ability is not as strong as the eldest prince, your merits are not as high as the eldest prince, and you don't have the ability of the eldest prince to fight on the battlefield, what do you compare with others?" ”

The words are not rough, and every sentence is straight to the topic.

In Xu Bai's mind, there is no need to fight for this thing, because the result is already doomed, and no matter how much you fight, you can't change it.

It's an ironclad fact that people are better than you.

The most important thing is that Emperor Chu is in good health, and he doesn't want to engage in infighting.

Besides, is a fief really that important?

Of course, Xu Bai thought about it, and the other party might really think it was very important, so he didn't say it.

The Ninth Princess said: "Maybe it's not so important to others, but it's important to me." ”

Xu Bai said he didn't understand.

But he doesn't need to understand, it's not his business, he came over today to give Qingxue face, the main thing is to make things clear.

Besides, he still said a good word to the ninth princess at that time, but whether he listened or not was the emperor's intention.

Xu Bai got up and prepared to leave.

"I know what you think, but it's impossible for the two of us, you're too utilitarian, I don't like it."

After saying that, he went straight out the door.

originally thought that the ninth princess would stop him, but until Xu Bai walked out of the room, the ninth princess didn't say a word.

Although I don't understand why, for Xu Bai, this is also very good.

The matter was almost over, Xu Bai didn't stay any longer, and rushed directly towards the royal treasury.

……

Outside the royal treasury, there are two soldiers guarding it.

In the past, when he came over, two soldiers would stop him.

But today is different, Emperor Chu has already given an order, and when Xu Bai arrived, the two soldiers all looked at Xu Bai with respectful eyes.

"I've seen Lord Xu!"

"Good, good!" Xu Bai responded one by one, and then raised his feet and walked up.

As soon as he walked in, he noticed that something was wrong.

In the corner of this floor, Tianyin Master sat there alone, and he didn't see Ye Zi's figure.

I haven't seen each other for so long, of course I want to see each other, but why is there no one?

Xu Bai's brows furrowed slightly, and he walked towards the Tianyin Master, and before he could speak, the Tianyin Master spoke first.

"I know you're looking for her, but it's not quite right now." Tianyin Master said.

"Now, the time of the year is very close, although she has reached the realm of metamorphosis, but now she is stuck at the most critical point, I have found a place for her to retreat."

"After you get out of the customs, it's not too late for you to see each other again."

The words have been made clear, and Xu Bai has nothing to ask.

At first he thought there was some danger, but now it seems that nothing is wrong.

"Then the juniors won't bother the seniors." Xu Bai arched his hand.

Tianyin Shi pursed his lips disdainfully: "You kid, you are quite good at talking, where are you bothering me, you don't want me to disturb you, right?" ”

Xu Bai was directly pointed, and he didn't say anything, just smiled happily.

"Alright, don't smile at me like that." Tianyin Shi waved his sleeves: "It's still the same as before, the food will be delivered, and you can pick it up yourself when the time comes." ”

Xu Bai agreed, didn't say more, and walked directly to the top.

This time, he's going to finish all the books.

He's got plenty of time and he hasn't had anything else going on lately, so when he's out there, it's definitely a huge improvement.

Walked down the stairs and walked directly to the top floor, looking at the various books in it, as well as the golden progress bars in the room, Xu Bai rubbed his hands.

"It's gone! It's sent! ”

He was excited in his heart, and he had the feeling that he suddenly got tens of billions, but he didn't know how to use it.

"Which one to start with, it doesn't matter, everyone has a share, it's you!" Xu Bai picked up a copy casually and began to read it.

The progress bar was slowly growing, and the process was boring, but he was used to it and enjoyed it......

……

Time passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, night came.

On the top floor of the royal treasury, Xu Bai lit the oil lamp, and under the light, he continued to look at the progress bar by the light.

The window was closed, and at this time, except for the Tianyin Master at the bottom, there was only Xu Bai alone in the entire royal treasury.

The quiet environment, accompanied by the sound of flipping books, Xu Bai enjoyed this quietness very much.

The liver progress bar is boring, but when it's boring, you also have to have some fun, for example, now, when you're in the liver, reading the whole book as a book is also a good way to pass the time.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, but Xu Bai had no intention of resting at the moment.

Time gradually passed, Xu Bai added oil to the oil lamp with his hand, and then continued his previous actions.

Just then, he heard footsteps coming from the top of the staircase.

Looking over, Xu Bai saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Childe." Ye Zi has a graceful figure, and his face is excited.

Xu Bai put down the book in his hand and was slightly puzzled: "Didn't Master Tianyin say that you went to retreat, why did you suddenly come back again?" ”

"I have successfully broken the test according to my grandmother's instructions." Ye Zi walked behind Xu Bai, stretched out his little white hand, and gently kneaded Xu Bai's shoulder.

"Grandma?"

When Xu Bai heard this title, he frowned and said, "Don't you call him a teacher?" ”

Ye Zi broke through, Xu Bai didn't expect it, what he didn't expect was that it was so fast, but the most important thing is that this title seems to have changed.

"She recognized me as a granddaughter, so our relationship has changed."

Ye Zi bent down slightly, and the green silk floated on Xu Bai's face, making Xu Bai a little itchy.

The small mouth approached Xu Bai's ear, and a soft word came.

"Childe, it's late at night, let's rest for a while......"

Smelling the familiar aroma and listening to the soft sound in my ear, I felt some itching in my ears.

Xu Bai threw the book aside and hugged Ye Zi in his arms with his backhand: "Then combine work and rest for a while......"

Well, combine work and rest, so that things don't get tired.

The oil lamp flickered, and a sound sounded in this large royal treasury......

"Huh? How does it feel wrong? Xu Bai looked down and frowned.

"Childe, what's wrong?" Ye Zi stretched out his white arm and hugged Xu Bai.

"How to get blood? Who are you! ”

Xu Bai grabbed Ye Zi's neck, and his face gradually turned cold.

Ye Zi's face was pale, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"It's finished."

It's just two simple words, but Xu Bai already knows the identity of the other party.

He stretched out his hand and groped on Ye Zi's face for a while, and soon, he took off a human skin mask.

"This is one of the few masks in the empty door, exactly the same as the one you wear, and you won't find it when you enter the sanctification, by the way, my other business, but what about the empty door......"

The Ninth Princess lazily stretched out her arm and hooked Xu Bai's neck, and at the same time, approached Xu Bai's ear: "Now, the raw rice has been cooked into rice, and everything is already late." ”

"Smack!"

Xu Bai slapped the ninth princess in the face, extremely gloomy.

I didn't expect to hunt geese all day long, but today I was pecked in the eye by geese.

There are very few human skin masks that can be deceived into entering the sainthood, but I didn't expect that the Nine Princesses actually had one.

The most important thing is that these nine princesses will change their body shape in an empty business.

Seriously, this is really something that Xu Bai didn't expect, he thought that he would be assassinated for this reason, and the assassination had no effect on him, because he was extremely resilient.

But who would have thought that it was just to change body shape and do these things with themselves.

What's so ...... What a speechless!

The ninth princess was slapped in the face, but she didn't get angry, but the more she smiled, the brighter she became.

"Celestial Master, I need a reason!" Xu Bai put on his clothes and looked at the corner of the room.

The ninth princess also got dressed and leaned towards Xu Bai at the same time.

In the corner, the old woman, the Celestial Master, walked out.

Xu Bai has thought about this matter for a long time, and it must be inseparable from Tianyin Master.

The caretaker of the royal treasury is this old woman Tianyin Master, with her here, even if the ninth princess pretends to be Ye Zi, it is impossible for her to come up.

Now it seems that she not only knew the situation, but also allowed it to happen.

Xu Bai's fingers were already covered with a layer of knife light.

It doesn't matter who you are, if you dare to calculate me, then be prepared to be taught a lesson.

If you don't enter the sanctification, it's good if you don't enter the sanctification, I can be hacked to death with one sword.

The murderous aura on Xu Bai's body is constantly circulating.

Tianyin Shi smiled bitterly: "Xu boy, I know what you think, but this matter has nothing to do with me, if you really want to know, just ask Grandpa Wei." ”

Grandpa Wei?

The sword qi in Xu Bai's hand dissipated, and the whole person was like a piece of wood, stunned in place.

The fair-skinned arm was wrapped, and the ninth princess leaned on Xu Bai's chest and said with a smile: "Although I am an empty business, even with my identity, I can't find one of the few human skin masks in the world, which was given to me by Gonggong Wei." ”

Xu Bai's face became extremely complicated, he turned his head to look at the bloodstains of the ninth princess, suddenly grabbed the ninth princess's wrist, and rushed out of the royal treasury directly.

After leaving the royal treasury, he did not stop, but walked towards the residence of Gonggong Wei.

The ninth princess was pulled by him and stumbled along the way, but Xu Baike didn't mean to pity the jade at all, even if the two had just done something.

Soon, he took the ninth princess and found the residence of Grandpa Wei.

The eunuchs guarding the door did not dare to stop them, and the two people in front of them were extremely high-status figures in the palace.

Xu Bai pulled the Ninth Princess and broke in all the way, shouting as he walked: "Father-in-law Wei, you have to give me an explanation today." ”

Even if it is Gonggong Wei, whom he respects, he can't pit him in this kind of thing!

A gust of wind blew, and Grandpa Wei stood in the corner with his body bent.

When he saw the two people in front of him, he didn't answer Xu Bai's question, but asked the ninth princess.

"It's finished?"

The ninth princess nodded slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

When Xu Bai saw this, he was ready to speak.

What is it?

Is he confused right now?

Gonggong Wei pointed to the room behind him: "Go in and talk." ”

Xu Bai didn't have any ink, and went directly into the room, and the ninth princess was also brought in by him.

Gonggong Wei was the last to enter the room, and after closing the door with his backhand, he said.

"Now, our family's last wish has finally come true."

Xu Bai: "? ”

What kind of thing is this? Why is what happened tonight more and more mysterious?

He didn't speak, just stared at Gonggong Wei, meaning that he wanted to know what the situation was.

Wei Gonggong said: "Our family is doing this just to give you and the ninth princess a common benefit." ”

Xu Bai: "? ”

This is his second question mark tonight.

Grandpa Wei continued to explain: "Here's how it ......"

With Father-in-law Wei's explanation, Xu Bai finally figured out the ins and outs.

He finally knew why the ninth princess had to be crowned a king.

As a member of the royal family, the Nine Princesses managed all the business and finances of the Great Chu Kingdom.

To manage this well, she must understand the origins of each business.

Every business is a trade, and up to now, the Ninth Princess has learned dozens of trades.

As everyone knows, only by specializing in one profession is the real way out.

Learning one more will delay the progress, unless it is those geniuses, no one will do it, except for Xu Bai.

The ninth princess has learned dozens of trades, and until now, she still only has the realm of seven grades, and she is far away from the realm of transformation.

And because of the reason that she has learned so many trades, her own longevity has actually declined.

If you don't want to find a way to break through, it may be equivalent to an ordinary person's longevity at most.

If you specialize in one of them now, it won't have any effect, and dozens of industries are connected to each other, and there is no way to specialize in the same.

Therefore, there is only one line of business in front of the ninth princess.

- The Emperor!

Emperor or king.

This trade is the most peculiar and the most unique.

As long as you become an emperor, you can inherit the luck and directly improve the realm, and the improved realm is related to the area under your jurisdiction.

The stronger the region, the stronger it is.

Even if the ninth princess learns dozens of trades, it will not have any impact.

Therefore, this fiefdom must be obtained by the Ninth Princess, otherwise the issue of her longevity is a very troublesome problem.

"So that's how it happened." Wei Gonggong said: "They all grew up under the watchful eye of our family, our family can't let them die, the eldest prince has no fiefdom, but he often has a bloody battlefield and has another place to go, and our family is more for your good." ”

In the future, after the barbarians conquer it, the eldest prince can take over the class of the Youwang and become the ruler of the soldiers and horses in the barbarian region, which is not inferior to the feudal king of the fiefdom at all.

After Xu Bai listened, he frowned and said, "Good for me?" ”

After explaining it clearly, he also understood, he knew that by doing this, the ninth princess could use herself to get the fief.

But he heard the latter sentence in a fog.

What does it mean to be good for him?

Gonggong Wei smiled and asked, "You and Ye Zi often have sex, right?" ”

Xu Bai's face became slightly embarrassed.

To be honest, he regarded Father-in-law Wei as an elder, and now that the elders asked him these things, of course he would feel embarrassed.

But when the questions came out, he nodded honestly.

Gonggong Wei continued: "Can you take all kinds of preventive measures? ”

Xu Bai shook his head.

He really hasn't done a good job of this thing.

Men, they all like this feeling.

Wei Gong said fairly: "That's right. ”

"What's right?" The more Xu Bai listened, the more confused he became.

Father-in-law Wei smiled: "Don't take measures, but why is Ye Zi not pregnant now?" Is this problem finally with you? ”

"Have you ever thought that there are many people in the line, how can you not get pregnant, our family invited a special doctor, and secretly gave you a look when you didn't know."

"You have learned too much, which is the reason for this result, so, the ninth princess can ...... for you"

"Wait!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Bai interrupted the rest of the words.

There was a helpless expression on his face: "Father-in-law Wei, just because of this matter, you planned all this, isn't it, this ...... Whether to have children or not, it should be up to me to decide. ”

He can see that Father-in-law Wei at this moment is like an elder urging marriage and baby, but this method is a little too radical.

"We're here for your good." Wei Gong said fairly: "Isn't it a win-win situation to solve both the problem of the Nine Princesses and your problem?" ”

Xu Bai: "(_)"

All he had was that expression now, and nothing else.

It's uncomfortable.

Speechless!

"Don't look at our family like that." Father-in-law Wei waved his hand: "It's best to keep a seed, while our family is still young, I can also help you bring it." ”

"Besides, the ninth princess also agrees to this matter, she agrees with every woman, you are a young man who has picked up a bargain, what are you worried about?"

Xu Bai felt that if he hadn't been a man with strong blood, he would have burst into tears by now.

What can he say?

He can't say anything now, because Grandpa Wei even wants to take a child for him.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the Ninth Princess on the side: "Princess, I think our combination is not very accurate. ”

In other words, it means that a union without feelings is not a real union.

"Why?" The ninth princess smiled, her eyes were bright: "I said, only you are worthy of me as a man in this world, I am willing, why are you unwilling?" ”

"You said before that I can only be a concubine, I am equally willing, and Ye Zi is equally willing, because I have talked to her about this issue."

In fact, in the ninth princess's mind, this trip was of course to solve her own problems, but more importantly, she did not reject Xu Bai.

The royal family has their own pride, and if she does something she doesn't like for the sake of this life, she will never do it.

But Xu Bai is different, it can be said that she sees all of Xu Bai's experiences.

From a grassroots to today's position, all along the way, everything is legendary.

Just as men like beautiful women, women like heroes.

So the ninth princess not only did not resist, but even took it for granted.

Xu Bai rubbed his forehead.

He knew that it was normal to have three wives and four concubines in this world, and Ye Zi would definitely agree, but today's sudden moment made him a little relieved.

Father-in-law Wei patted Xu Bai on the shoulder: "Some things can be figured out after thinking about it, and you are not young, think about it, at your age, many people have already started a family and had children." ”

Xu Bai: "(_)"

There was a sense of fear of urging a baby just now, and now it is a sense of fear of urging marriage, why have I reached this status, and I still have to feel this!

I'm Lord Xu!

"I'll go first, I'll have to think about it." Xu Bai felt that there were too many things that happened this night, and he needed to go back and take care of them.

Father-in-law Wei did not keep them and sent them to the door.

Xu Bai walked fast, but there was an extra tail behind him.

The ninth princess followed step by step, and the two gradually walked away......

……

After the two of them walked away, Gonggong Wei returned to his room and coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, our family really can't figure it out, why are you doing this?"

At the end of the corner, Emperor Chu quietly walked out, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Gonggong Wei and Xu Bai returned, both of them had been to the emperor's imperial study, but Xu Bai left first.

Gonggong Wei said that there was something to discuss with Emperor Chu, and it was this matter that was discussed.

This thing, Gonggong Wei will definitely not do it alone, but with the addition of Emperor Chu, the two of them add up, and this thing will be done.

If Xu Bai was here, he would definitely shout at the two old foxes, especially Emperor Chu!

At the beginning, Emperor Chu vaguely revealed to Xu Bai that his patriarchal tendency was to paralyze Xu Bai.

In fact, all this was his idea, and the ultimate goal was to give the barbarian clan to the Ninth Princess.

"Isn't that good?" Emperor Chu said with a smile: "Think about it, with Xu Bai, giving the place to Lao Jiu is the real justification." ”

Gonggong Wei shook his head: "Your Majesty, our family knows you best, if you really want to give the fief to the ninth princess, you won't do this at all, you only need one sentence, the eldest prince will not dare not listen, and there will not even be complaints." ”

The implication is that what happened tonight, Emperor Chu must have a deep meaning, and even Gonggong Wei doesn't know it.

"Father-in-law Wei, you don't even understand what I mean, and you really dare to do it, so you're not afraid of hurting Xu Bai?" Chu Huang Road.

Gonggong Wei smiled: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that it is too late for you to protect him, how can you harm him, the topic is far away, Your Majesty, you really don't want to hide this matter." ”

The smile on Emperor Chu's face gradually retracted, and he stared at Gonggong Wei without speaking.

But in the room, there is a sense of solemnity that is gradually spreading.

Gonggong Wei straightened his waist and looked directly at Emperor Chu.

The two looked at each other for several minutes before Emperor Chu withdrew his gaze and shook his head helplessly.

He knew that in addition to talking about the rules, Father-in-law Wei's personality was even more persistent, if he didn't say it tonight, maybe Father-in-law Wei would find other ways to understand.

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for our family to share the king's worries." Gonggong Wei bowed and said.

"Alas......"

Emperor Chu sighed.

"Since you really want to know, then I will tell you everything about it."

The golden light appeared from Emperor Chu's body, sealing the surroundings tightly and impermeable, so that the words of the two could not be transmitted.

A new volume is about to begin, and this is the beginning.

(End of chapter)
