The two of them wandered until they reached a river bank with moonlight reflection and cool breeze blowing on their faces. They saw many people placing light boats on the river bank and writing their wishes on the light boats.
Long Xueyan turned back and glanced at Bai Luoqi, her red lips pursed slightly, her face showing a hint of thoughtfulness, and then she walked towards the river bank.
When Bai Luoqi saw this, he followed him over and saw Long Xueyan asking an aunt for a light boat, and then wrote something on the light boat.
"What wish did you make?" Bai Luoqi immediately moved forward. "Don't look at it." Long Xueyan immediately put the lightship behind her.
"Let's see if a piece of meat won't fall off." Bai Luoqi saw that Long Xueyan seemed to be very concerned about it, so he became even more curious.[
"Go and buy me a lantern over there. I want the best one." Long Xueyan took a silver coin from her waist and gave it to Bai Luoqi. Then, she gave Bai Luoqi a look. Bai Luoqi turned around.
He glanced at Long Xueyan, shrugged, and went to buy lanterns for Long Xueyan.
When he came back after buying a lantern with blooming flowers, he saw Long Xueyan standing by the river, watching the lantern boats passing by along the river in front of him, with a sad expression and a bit of resentment.
"What's wrong with her?" Bai Luoqi asked a little strangely and walked up.
When Long Xueyan saw Bai Luoqi coming back, she suddenly said seriously, "Long Xuan, I also have something to say to you."
"Okay." Bai Luoqi nodded, thinking, she is not going to confess to me! Uncle, I am indeed very charming!
After that, Long Xueyan walked straight along the river bank, followed closely by Bai Luoqi. The two of them walked under a row of willow trees, with the cool breeze blowing and their cloaks flying.
"Long Xuan, you must remember what I said today because I won't say it a second time. I don't like to force you to do anything, but this time you have to promise me one thing." Long Xueyan's beautiful eyes
Shaking lightly, he said with a serious expression.
"Don't force it. For you, I will go to the Mountain of Swords and the Sea of Fire... Don't mention one thing, a hundred will do..." Bai Luoqi vowed.
"I don't need you to do this for me. You just need to take care of yourself. Because you will soon become the son-in-law of the Ximen family. In the future, you will also become an upright man who is responsible for his own side, so you must take care of yourself.
"This way I won't worry about you!" Long Xueyan shook her head with dark eyes, looking at the moonlight in the river.
r "Xueyan, what do you mean by this...you don't mean to express your feelings to me..." Bai Luoqi frowned.
"I know you hate Ximen Xue, so you definitely don't want to agree to the Dragon Emperor's offer of marriage." Long Xueyan looked back at Bai Luoqi and said as if she had read through Bai Luoqi's mind.
"That's right, if you ask me to marry that fierce bitch, I might as well be a bachelor for the rest of my life! I also plan to ask you to help me persuade the Dragon Emperor..." Bai Luoqi's impression of Ximen Xue was extremely bad.
"The thing I want you to promise me is that you must marry Ximen Xue." Long Xueyan said with a delicate expression.
"What?" Bai Luoqi couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that Long Xueyan actually wanted him to marry Ximen Xue. Before, Long Xueyan was opposed to it, but now she suddenly changed her attitude.
"You must marry her. If you marry her, you will have a position that no one in the Holy Dragon Kingdom can shake in the future." Long Xueyan said firmly.
"Why do you want me to marry her? Just for some bullshit status?" Bai Luoqi's eyes darkened. "This is for your own good and for the good of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, if you disobey the Dragon Emperor's wishes, you will not be punished."
You have no benefit. He has placed great hopes on you. If you let him down, the consequences will be disastrous. Even if you are his son..." Long Xueyan's words were definitely not a joke, although she was talking to Long Xueyan.
When the Emperor was secretly spying on him, the Dragon Emperor's words were very tactful, but she also understood the meaning.
"I am no longer the Long Xuan I was before, and my destiny will no longer be manipulated by others. At most, I will not be the prince." Bai Luoqi responded with a sneer, his expression becoming a bit arrogant.r
"No, things are not as simple as you think. Do you know why the Dragon Emperor demoted you to a commoner? He did it out of the affection of the little princess, in order to protect you and the power of the Holy Dragon Pearl you fused, but at the same time
, he also planted a terrible seed under you. And now this terrible seed has sprouted." Long Xueyan shook her head and said.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Bai Luoqi was confused. He had no idea that from the day he fused the Holy Dragon Ball, his fate had been involuntarily involved in the darkest battle in the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
middle.[
"The royal family's marriage grant has always been to contain the power of the major families, and the Ximen family is the only one among all the families in the Holy Dragon Kingdom that has the strength to fight against the royal family. A few years ago, the Dragon Emperor was supposed to bring Ximen to the throne.
Xue was offered marriage to Long Ao, but Ximen Xue was still young at the time, and the head of the Ximen family declined the offer because of this. The Dragon Emperor was displeased and temporarily decided to marry another family, the Ji family. However, in the past few years,
, the powerful Ximen family also became the Dragon Emperor's heartache. Since then, the Dragon Emperor has been waiting for the opportunity..." Although Long Xueyan was unwilling, she had to tell the truth to Bai Luoqi, and she had to make Bai Luoqi understand.
How dark and turbulent his current situation is.
"So, the Dragon Emperor gave me the marriage just to contain the Ximen family? But, why is it me? Not other princes..." Bai Luoqi frowned. He is not the only prince in this royal family, so he must
Choose what to do with him.
"Unfortunately, except for Long Ao, the qualifications of the other royal families are too mediocre. Until now, none of them have strength above the Tianzong level, which is really embarrassing. And even if the marriage is forcibly granted, Ximen Batian will use all kinds of methods to
Excuse, Ximen Batian will never wrong his grandson..." Long Xueyan stared at Bai Luoqi with her beautiful eyes, and continued in a paused voice: "And because you fused the Holy Dragon Pearl at the ceremony, the dragon
The emperor saw hope in you. So, this is why, while demoting his status as a prince, he recognized your status as a royal spiritual master and allowed you to go to Chaolong Field to train. Otherwise, according to the situation at that time, Long
The emperor should be deprived of it along with the power of the Holy Dragon Pearl you fused."
"So, the Dragon Emperor's restoration of my status as a prince was actually planned long ago, in order to make me a pawn in his hands to contain the Ximen family?" Bai Luoqi couldn't help but sneered. He originally thought that he was fake.
Dad discovered it because of his conscience, but now that he thinks about it, he was really kept in the dark, and he was almost sold without knowing it.
