Li Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then asked: "I think there is no one else who can make you excited except that king, right?"
Li Qinghan didn't think too deeply. In her opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Ma Xiaoquan to find this place. Even though Xiaoshuang had indicated to him that he had seen Ma Xiaoquan, Li Qinghan still didn't believe it.
After all, there are basically no people who can come here.
Seeing that Li Qinghan didn't believe it, Xiaoshuang didn't continue the gesture. She just floated around in the air and kept whining.
Li Qinghan frowned slightly, Xiaoshuang's state was very different from what she remembered, so she called Xiaoshuang down and asked: "Is something big going to happen? Or is Heiqingguo coming to attack again?
Already?"
Xiao Shuang cannot speak, but she is a fire spirit, a fire spirit condensed into a human form.
"Woooo..." Xiaoshuang pointed in a direction and kept calling. Li Qinghan nodded knowingly and said: "It seems I need to go and have a look~"
After that, Li Qinghan put on his cloak and covered his head. Huo Ling Xiaoshuang followed Li Qinghan whiningly and left together...
...
The direction Xiaoshuang pointed was to this country, the palace where the noble king stayed, which outsiders called the "Floating Palace".
The Floating Palace has a very unique shape. It is said that it took nearly sixty years to build. The entire palace is made of stones and mahogany. Every gap and edge was measured by craftsmen before it was built. The top of the palace is a statue made of gold.
A statue of the goddess made of.
Li Qinghan raised his head and saw the goddess statue on the top of the palace at a glance. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why does this goddess statue look so similar to me?"
The maidservant who was following her smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this statue of the goddess was drawn by the king after he had a dream. I heard from the little sisters in the palace that the king was really surprised when he drew this picture.
It’s been a long time.”
"Okay~~" Li Qinghan shook his head and asked Xiaoshuang: "Is the direction you are pointing to the Floating Palace?"
Xiaoshuang, who was floating in mid-air, did not respond to Li Qinghan's question. She seemed to be thinking about something.
"Well, it should be the Floating Palace, okay, then I'll go there~"
...
At the entrance of the Floating Palace, a woman in white clothes was pacing back and forth nervously. In front of her, stood two doormen.
"Has your father not come out of seclusion yet?" the woman in white shirt asked.
One of the guards nodded and said respectfully: "Yes Princess Ting, the king is still in retreat, but the king also said that he will leave the retreat today, why don't you go in first and wait?"
Yao Yaotou, a woman in a white shirt, said: "My father doesn't like people to disturb me. Even I have to obey my father's orders."
The guard said: "Princess Ting, the king also said that you have a special status and are not restricted."
"It's okay, I'll just wait~"
Just as he was talking, the voice of a servant reporting was heard not far away. The woman in white clothes raised her head and glanced, frowning, and said: "Why is that woman Li Qinghan here too?"
The two guards were stunned, and looked intently towards the source of the sound. They saw Li Qinghan wearing a cloak, walking slowly towards the palace gate.
Next to Li Qinghan, Huo Ling Xiaoshuang was floating. It seemed that he was still thinking deeply and didn't know what to think about.
The beautiful pupils of the woman in white clothes shrank, and she stared at Huo Ling Xiaoshuang closely. She didn't close her eyes until Li Qinghan came closer.
"Princess Ting~Hello~" Li Qinghan nodded to the woman in white shirt.
The woman in white shirt hummed softly.
"Is Princess Ting also looking for the king?" Li Qinghan asked again.
The woman in white shirt nodded: "It seems you are too~"
"Is it convenient for you to tell me your purpose?"
"We are all the same~" the woman in white shirt said calmly.
"Yeah..." Li Qinghan smiled slightly and said nothing.
A guard came forward and said respectfully: "I have seen the Vulcan Empress..."
"Well, is the king here?"
"I'm in seclusion, but I should be out of seclusion soon~"
Li Qinghan nodded: "Okay, then I'll just wait~"
"Your Majesty, you have a special status. Why don't you come in and wait? The Floating Palace is very big," the guard said.
Li Qinghan glanced at the woman in white shirt, shook his head and said: "No, I'll wait outside~"
...
Half an hour later, a maid in a green shirt walked out of the palace. When she saw the woman in a white shirt and Li Qinghan, the maid knelt on the ground and bowed to them respectively.
"Princess Ting, Goddess of Fire ~ Your Majesty would like to invite you two to the palace."
Li Qinghan and the woman in white shirt looked at each other, and they walked into the palace gate from different directions.
The palace is very large, and the interior decoration is splendid. Large and small gems and oil lamps are scattered all over the palace, illuminating the palace brightly.
Along the way, maids would come out to salute Li Qinghan and the woman in white from time to time, and from time to time, a few guards in armor would pass by them.
When they reached the depths of the palace, they stopped in front of a main hall.
The door creaked open, and two beautiful women walked out slowly. Seeing Li Qinghan and the woman in white, they said politely: "The king is already waiting for you two, please come in."
The woman in white shirt hummed, and Li Qinghan nodded to express his gratitude. When the two of them entered the main hall, the two beautiful women closed the main hall door.
The main hall is not big, but it is very warmly decorated. A middle-aged man is sitting on the seat in the center. His face is kind and his eyes are dull, as if he has seen through all the worldly things.
Seeing the woman in white shirt and Li Qinghan, the middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said: "Tingting, and the Vulcan Empress, it's rare for you to come together~ Please take a seat~"
Li Qinghan hummed, found a guest seat, and sat down nearby.
The woman in white shirt looked more casual. She smiled slightly and sat on the seat next to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at his daughter beside him and said with a smile: "Tingting, you have gray hair..."
"Father, you are so annoying..."
"Haha, it's time to marry you off~ Tell me, what kind of man do you want?"
The woman in white shirt shook her head: "It's been so long. I'm used to being alone. I'm afraid I'm still not used to the sudden appearance of an extra person. Forget it, there's nothing wrong with living like this forever~"
The middle-aged man shook his head, looked at Li Qinghan again, and asked with a smile: "How is the Vulcan Empress doing recently~"
Li Qinghan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm doing fine lately~"
"Haha~~Okay, that's good~ Well, the one floating around you is the fire spirit, right?"
Li Qinghan hummed and looked at Xiaoshuang: "Xiaoshuang, this is the king. Is this the second time you have met him?"
Xiaoshuang looked at the middle-aged man and whined a few times, seeming to be hostile to the middle-aged man.
"Haha~~" The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "It seems that this fire spirit still doesn't like me~"
"Your Majesty, don't mind, Xiaoshuang is just a fire spirit, and his intelligence is not as good as ordinary people~"
"Haha, no, no, if she hadn't been here, my country would have been annexed by the Black and Green Country~"
Li Qinghan said humbly: "Speaking of this, is there something happening in Heiqing Country recently?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "It's not a big move. It's just that they sent messengers to urge Shanshan to get married. I was wondering what kind of dowry should be given to Shanshan~"
The woman in the white shirt glanced at Li Qinghan and said, "How about asking the Vulcan Empress to take the fire spirit with her to the Black and Qing Kingdom and be an ambassador to send off the bride?"
Li Qinghan was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I have really considered this, but I don't know if the Vulcan Empress is willing to do so. The Black and Green Country is much richer than our small country. The Vulcan Empress has not traveled far since she came here.
, why not just go out for a trip~ Well, several of my sons will also accompany me to see him off."
Li Qinghan didn't reject it. In fact, she had been a little uneasy these days, so it would be good to take this opportunity to go out and relax.
"Since the King and Princess Ting have said it, then I would rather obey your orders than I am respectful. I just don't know when to leave?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Well, in five days, I have handed over the dowry here to Wen Qiang, and it will be ready in five days~"
"Does Zhao Wenqiang also want to send a bride?" Li Qinghan asked with a frown.
"Well, Wen Qiang and Shanshan have the best relationship. With him seeing off his bride, Shanshan will be more honest along the way. After all, Shanshan is more bloodthirsty and likes to kill people. However, Wen Qiang can't always tell Shanshan, so he still
We have to ask the Goddess of Fire to hold her down and not let her cause trouble. After all, if we go to the Black and Green Country, we can't control it."
Li Qinghan nodded: "That's fine. Although Shanshan is a bit cruel and bloodthirsty, she has a good relationship with me. I agree to this matter." After Li Qinghan finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the woman in white shirt, "That's right.
I wonder when Princess Ting will get married? I remember that princes from several countries came to propose marriage, but Princess Ting did not agree to any of them~"
The woman in the white shirt frowned slightly: "I make my own decisions about my affairs. Even if I want to marry, I will marry the most powerful man in the world ~ a man as powerful as my father."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How is this possible? Besides, no matter how powerful your father is, he is only one person. Otherwise, our small country would still have to rely on the Black and Green Country. It's bitter, it's really bitter~~"
"Father, don't worry, the Heiqing Kingdom is not monolithic. Over the years, they have annexed too many small countries, and there is no time to digest them. If the king of the Heiqing Kingdom was not very powerful, I am afraid they would have fallen apart long ago. However, Heiqing Kingdom
The king of our country cannot be here forever. One day, we will have a chance~"
The middle-aged man said: "Hey, I just want to take back the land that originally belonged to us~ It is not easy to build this country~"
Li Qinghan asked: "Isn't the king also a foreigner a long time ago?"
"Yes~" the middle-aged man nodded, "I am an outsider, but I have become a prince of the Heiqing Kingdom. This land, including the land that has been captured by the Heiqing Kingdom, is my fief~ I really want to
I want to come back, but my strength is too weak, and this country is still too weak~"
