There was silence outside the entire palace, and everyone heard those words clearly. At the same time, all eyes were focused on the two people hugging each other.
But Tian Lao, who saw all this, shook his head and sighed, saying: "Why bother?"
Murong Xiong, Situ Feng, Murong Ziying, and the other princes all had their brows furrowed, and their expressions changed again and again.
Murong Xiong's face was extremely ugly, he snorted and said: "It's just nonsense."
Situ Feng also sighed helplessly. With Xiao Xiao making such a fuss, where would the royal family's face go? However, who was Situ Feng? He quickly calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, now that you have walked out,
There is no turning back at this step, let’s bring Zi Ling back and complete the ceremony.”
Murong Xiong took a deep breath and hummed: "This is the only way. Where is Tian Yan?"
As soon as Murong Xiong finished speaking, a cold and charming figure appeared in front of Murong Xiong and said respectfully: "Tian Yan is here."
Murong Xiong said coldly: "Bring the little princess back."
"Yes." Tian Yan said and wanted to execute the order.
"Wait a minute." At this time, Situ Feng hurriedly called Tian Yan. Murong Xiong was stunned for a moment and looked at Situ Feng. Situ Feng glanced at Murong Xiong and then said: "Bring that boy over too."
When Murong Xiong heard this, he understood and nodded. Tian Yan moved her body and appeared in front of Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao.
"Little princess, Your Majesty wants you to go back." Tian Yan glanced at Xiao Yu with a cold expression, but when she spoke to you Xiao Xiao, she was much gentler.
"What about brother Xiao Yu?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Tianyan glanced at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also looked at Tianyan, still feeling the chill. Tianyan withdrew her gaze and said, "Follow me too."
Only then did Xiao Xiao become happy, and regardless of everyone's surprised looks, she took Xiao Yu's arm and walked towards the royal procession.
Murong Xiong saw it in his eyes and couldn't get angry at this moment. His face turned green with anger.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu returning to the royal family, and when they saw Xiao Xiao pulling Xiao Yu onto his carriage.
"Who is that person? He dares to get on the little princess's carriage. It's simply unruly."
"That's right, the little princess is as beautiful as a fairy. How can he get his hands on her?"
"The lazy toad wants to eat swan meat"
For a time, various discussions spread among the crowd, and everyone had their own opinions. Although they were disdainful of Xiao Yu, they were extremely envious in their hearts.
"Cousin Murong, is that boy from the Xiao family that cousin Ziling has been obsessed with?" A young man at the back of the team said to another young man.
The one who spoke was named Situ Wu, the son of his uncle, who was also the nephew of Situ Feng. The other young man with extraordinary bearing was named Murong Yu, who was the eldest prince of the royal family and the future successor of the Tianwu Dynasty.
The princes and princes on the side were stunned when they heard Situ Wu's words, obviously they had no knowledge of this matter.
"Brother Situ, what's going on? Who is that kid?" A young man on the side frowned and asked. This young man's name is Qin Ao, and he is the son of Lord Hou.
Situ Wu snorted and said, "He's just a low-class guy. It's just a dream for someone like this to be with cousin Zi Ling."
Hearing Situ Wu's disdainful tone, Murong Yu smiled disapprovingly and said: "Cousin Situ, although that person is not a popular person, Zi Ling only recognizes him. This matter is still very difficult to handle."
Situ Wu snorted coldly and said: "It's difficult to handle. When the time comes, I will let him retreat when he sees the difficulty."
Murong Yu just smiled and did not speak. However, his gestures were quite regal.
"Your Majesty, let's finish the ceremony first." Situ Feng glanced at the carriage where Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu were sitting, and then sighed.
Murong Xiong could only nod, but he was quite dissatisfied.
Amid everyone's envious, jealous and hateful expressions, the royal family's motorcade slowly moved forward again. However, Situ Wu and other princes and young masters were extremely dissatisfied and had deep hostility towards Xiao Yu in their hearts.
In the third carriage, Xiao Xiao held Xiao Yu's arm and looked at Xiao Yu carefully, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu saw him, he said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Xiao sniffed and said with concern: "Brother Xiao Yu, you have become darker and thinner. You must have suffered a lot, right?"
Xiao Yu felt warm in his heart. At this moment, what did all the suffering he had suffered count? Xiao Yu smiled faintly, gently scratched the bridge of Xiao Xiao's nose, and said: "It's not bitter, not bitter at all."
Although Xiao Yu said this, Xiao Xiao understood in his heart, but Xiao Xiao did not say more because all words could not express everything in his heart.
Xiao Xiao forced out a smile and said, "Brother Xiao Yu, why didn't grandpa and the others come?"
Xiao Yu was shocked and said: "I have left home since you left. Dragon Blood City is far away from the imperial capital and is very dangerous. Maybe they won't come."
Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "My father told me last time that he would send someone to pick up grandpa. Why haven't you seen them yet?"
Xiao Yu frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "If they come, they will definitely come to see Xiao Xiao. I also want to see the second elder."
Xiao Xiao nodded obediently, and then said with a wicked smile: "Brother Xiao Yu, what gift are you going to give Xiao Xiao this time?"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly, then turned his palms, and two jade boxes appeared in his hands. In the jade boxes were two brightly colored fruits, which were clearly the nine-leaf purple blood demon fruit.
Xiao Xiao looked at the fruit and said without interest: "There are only two fruits, it's really boring."
Xiao Yu was ashamed and said: "This is not an ordinary fruit. This is called the Nine-Leaf Purple Blood Demon Fruit. It is a top-grade elixir. It is extremely precious and has the effect of improving strength. More importantly, I almost lost my life for it."
Dead."
When Xiao Xiao heard this, his expression changed and he said anxiously: "Why are you working so hard? What will I do if you die?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "How could brother Xiao Yu die? He wouldn't have died so early without seeing Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao then smiled and put away the Nine-leaf Purple Blood Demon Fruit. The two of them felt like they had endless things to say.
And Xiao Yu also knew in his heart that with so many people in the royal family, he would definitely be dissatisfied, but he was not afraid either.
After the royal procession walked around the streets of the Imperial Capital, they returned to the palace. Along the way, everyone was extremely surprised. Why was there a man in the little princess's carriage?
The team entered the palace, and everyone came to the main hall. Xiao Yu, led by Xiao Xiao, also followed to the main hall.
But everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Yu with disdain. Xiao Yu saw it and didn't care. He had already thought of this.
Murong Xiong was sitting on the top of the main hall, Situ Feng was sitting on the side, and the others were standing below, only the three princes were sitting.
Murong Xiong's eyes fell on Xiao Yu. Although he was quite dissatisfied, he still wanted to behave like a king, so he said: "Xiao Xiao, is this Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, then pulled Xiao Yu to the center of the hall and said, "Father, this is brother Xiao Yu."
"Xiao Yu has met Your Majesty." Xiao Yu saluted hurriedly.
Murong Xiong just nodded slightly, and then said: "Since you are here, it's a good idea to check on Xiao Xiao and see which one of these princes from neighboring countries and the young master from our court is worthy of Xiao Xiao."
As soon as Murong Xiong said this, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao's expressions changed. Obviously, when Murong Xiong said this, he placed Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu in the position of brother and sister.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but admire the scheming of the ruler of this dynasty, but Xiao Yu was not that easy to fool, so he said without changing his expression: "Xiao Xiao didn't like to listen to me since she was a child, so I'm afraid she won't listen to my words.
.”
Xiao Xiao pouted and said with great dissatisfaction: "I don't want to marry them unless they are better than brother Xiao Yu."
As soon as Xiao Xiao's words came out, everyone's expressions changed. They were not shocked, but disdainful. Everyone present could tell what kind of strength Xiao Yu was at a glance.
Of all the people present, if you pick one at random, who is not better than Xiao Yu?
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, this girl would really cause trouble for him.
Murong Xiong frowned and said, "No nonsense."
Xiao Xiao retorted: "This is my lifelong event. I want to make the decision myself. I don't want you to dictate my life."
Murong Xiong and Situ Feng's expressions changed and they looked at each other. They did not expect that Xiao Xiao had such a fierce temper. Under the main hall, Murong Ziying was slightly shocked, as if she saw her own shadow.
It's just that the girl who said in this hall that she wanted to control the major events of her life has long since lost her original willfulness. But now seeing Xiao Xiao like this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The other princes and generals also looked at each other in shock, but did not dare to say anything, just waiting for Murong Xiong to make a decision.
"Father, please listen to my words." At this time, Murong Yu stood up and said respectfully.
Murong Xiong nodded and said, "You say."
Murong Yu saluted, then glanced at Xiao Yu again, and said: "Since Sister Ziling is so determined to do this, in my opinion, why not set up an arena and let all the princes and young masters and brother Xiao Yu compete. I
When I think about it, sister Ziling has nothing to say."
After Murong Yu finished speaking, everyone nodded, especially the third prince and the young master, whose eyes shone.
When Murong Xiong heard this, he looked at Situ Feng. Situ Feng nodded, and Murong Xi said: "Everyone, is the eldest prince's opinion feasible?"
"It's all up to Your Majesty." Of course those ministers didn't dare to say anything.
Murong Xiong looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Are you satisfied with this?"
Xiao Xiao pouted and said nothing, but this was regarded as acquiescence.
Murong Xiong said: "Okay, then let's set up the arena. For the sake of fairness, the arena will be set up in the center of the imperial capital for everyone to witness. The final winner of this competition will also let them see the success of my royal consort."
prestige."
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone flattered.
Murong Xiong glanced at Xiao Yu, and then said: "The competition will be held in three days. Princes, do you have any opinions?"
"Your Majesty has decided." The three of them stood up and said with a smile.
Murong Xiong glared at Xiao Xiao again, but Xiao Xiao completely ignored him. Murong Xiong was quite angry, so he waved his hand and said, "If nothing happens, let's go our separate ways."
After that, Murong Xiong rushed away. Situ Feng glanced at Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao, and then left too. There was a commotion in the hall.
"It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat. I advise you to retreat in spite of the difficulties. Otherwise, in three days, you will have no eyes for fists and kicks on the ring. You have to be careful." At this time, Situ Wu came over and said coldly.
Xiao Yu was not angry when he heard the threat, but Xiao Xiao was very angry. Just when he was about to say something, Xiao Yu held him back, and then said with a smile: "Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it.
