171 The Great General Wishes to Marry Only One Person
"Your Majesty, Princess Xue is angry because of Wei Chen. It is Wei Chen's fault for making Princess Xue angry. I will go and get the princess back. Please don't be angry, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xia was stunned, "General Long, you——"
Long Tianqi stood up respectfully and gave a blessing, "Your Majesty, please feel free to have a drink with the ministers for a while. I will invite Princess Xue back soon."
"Okay, then it's all down to General Long."
Long Tianqi strode away, and a gloom flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor. Back then, it was the Long family who protected the emperor, but now they are still against him. How hateful!
Long Tianqi started to fly away after leaving the Royal Garden, and stopped Lan Xue before she returned to Yonghe Palace, "Princess,"
Lan Xue glanced at him and smiled: "Why, the general also left the table early?"
"No, I'm here to chase you."
"What's matter?"
"The princess just came back. She may not know the character of the Supreme Emperor. If he wants something, he will do it at all costs. Sometimes the emperor has nothing to do. The Xia Kingdom values filial piety. Even if the emperor doesn't like it, many times he can only
Bear with me. This time the Supreme Emperor is interested in you and wants you to marry someone from the same faction as the Prince. This time it didn't work out, and there may be more drastic actions next time.
It was with this in mind that the emperor was anxious to grant the princess a marriage. It was not that he did not cherish the princess. Moreover, the emperor knew my situation clearly. The so-called concubine did not exist at all. The princess should also understand that it was you.
I'm just hitting back at you for your bad taste!"
Lan Xue curled her lips, "You don't have to say it so nicely, even if you really have it, Emperor Xia will still agree."
"Princess, I have been very honest about the situation anyway. Although I am proud, I will not be stupid when it comes to important matters related to the emperor. The princess is the emperor's daughter, shouldn't it be better for me, a minister, to protect him?"
Lan Xue's eyes turned cold and she smiled faintly: "Daughter? I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of consciousness yet. Besides, if the general wanted to protect the emperor, why didn't he agree in the first place?"
"Princess, the Supreme Emperor has always been very dissatisfied with me. If I don't shirk him, won't I add fuel to the fire?"
"It's not the same thing if I finally agreed!"
"That's different. There's a reason to say I'm helpless too!"
cut!
If you are not a loyal emperor, why are you still worried about the Supreme Emperor?
As if he had seen through her thoughts, Long Tianqi lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Princess, there is a power in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, which should have been passed on to the emperor who succeeded the throne. However, he did not pass it to the emperor when he abdicated. Then
This force belongs to the dark forces. If the Emperor orders it, no minister in the court can escape, and the whole family will be wiped out!"
What!
Lan Xue was slightly startled, the Supreme Emperor still had such a hand to restrain the Emperor?
"Although filial piety is the most important thing, the emperor is not a filial person. If it weren't for this, how could the emperor tolerate the prince and his arrogance?"
Alas, Emperor Xia’s throne is really unstable!
Long Tianqi coughed twice and said no more, "Princess, it's almost time, we will go to the banquet! Things between us are not urgent, anyway, you have Long Xilan as a shield!"
Lan Xue glanced at him, "He and I are not shields, but facts."
Long Tianqi was startled, then smiled: "No matter what, let's go back first. You ran out like this, which makes the emperor lose face, but it hurts your relatives and makes your enemies happy!"
Lan Xue thought of the old man, the Supreme Emperor, and sighed softly, "Okay, I'll go back."
"Princess," Wu Shuang appeared out of breath. His kung fu was not as good as Lan Xue's. Lan Xue ran faster, but it took him nearly a stick of incense to chase her!
Lan Xue saw him and laughed in a low voice: "Wushuang, you are too stupid! Are you out of breath after running for a while?"
"The princess also said that she didn't even wait for me." Wushuang looked at her sadly.
Lan Xue patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, you go back to the palace and stay there while Long Tianqi and I go back to attend the banquet."
Wushuang was resentful: "Princess, you want to go back?"
"Well, you go back and prepare delicious food for me. As soon as the palace banquet is over, I will come back and have supper with you."
"OK!"
…
Lan Xue and Long Tianqi both returned to the Royal Garden, which made Emperor Xia very relieved. Of course, some people were unhappy. However, Lan Xue was too lazy to care about some unhappy people!
However, to be honest, the Supreme Emperor is not very old, he looks like he is in his early fifties, and his body looks very strong. It is estimated that if he is allowed to sit on the Dragon Throne, he will still be able to stay strong for more than ten years!
At such an age, most people would not be happy to abdicate the throne. It is a pity that Emperor Xia was able to allow him to abdicate, but he did not completely eliminate the troubles.
"Princess, do you want to know what happened back then?"
Lan Xue glanced at the man next to her and said, "I'll think about whether I want to know if I'm in the mood."
Emperor Xia's smile returned to his face when he saw their interaction, "Xue'er, don't be so impulsive next time. If you don't like it, my father can force you to do it, but I just want to ask your opinion. Why do you just go with me?"
Is the emperor angry?"
Lan Xue bowed her head respectfully, "It's my fault that I made my father worried. However, let's forget about it, General. Xue'er already has a good partner."
"Okay, since you have chosen him, my father will support your choice!"
"Thanks--"
"Your Majesty, Long Xilan wants the prince of Xingtu Kingdom to be our enemy. I want to compete with him. Please give me a fair chance to compete!"
What?
Emperor Xia was dumbfounded. How could this be a fair competition? Xueer was already married to her.
Lan Xue also rolled her eyes, this man is just trying to bring order to the world!
Who knew that Long Tianqi looked at her with clasped fists solemnly: "Princess, please give me a chance. That concubine is all a fiction. If I marry the princess, I will surely drown three thousand people with only one spoonful to drink!"
Wow--
The female relatives brought by the officials all looked at Princess Snow with envy. For a man like General Long to choose only one person, this really... broke the hearts of many women to be married!
Even Emperor Xia was stunned. A man only wants one woman. For him, that is really impossible. Those things may only be available to ordinary people.
Could it be that Xueer likes that kind of life, and her mother also expected that kind of promise back then?
Suddenly, his eyes darkened. It turned out that he had already disappointed that person from the beginning. No wonder she chose to marry someone else even though she liked him.
Prince He looked at all this but raised his lips, looking at the interaction between Long Tianqi and Lan Xue with interest, haha, interesting, I didn't expect that Long Tianqi actually enlightened and started to like women!
However, is this Snow Princess something he can eat?
