Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 79: Marriage, Xingluo's intention, his heart should be killed
Star Luo Palace.

The palace gate slowly opened, and under the watchful eyes of the palace guards, the luxurious white jade carriage rolled across the royal road and drove straight into the palace.

The carriage stopped in front of Ziquan Palace. Xu Tiance got off the carriage and saw a slender figure standing on the vermilion steps.

Princess Jiujiu was seen waiting gracefully in front of the palace gate, with her wide sleeves hanging down like clouds, her orange-gold palace skirt and golden gauze fluttering in the wind, her gorgeous and exquisite phoenix hairpin shining in the setting sun, and the smile on her lips when she looked back was just like peach and plum blossoms in March.

What a dignified and dignified jewel of the empire.

She descended the stairs, her skirt adorned with oriental pearls trailing behind her, and performed standard royal etiquette towards Xu Tiance, "Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire greets His Highness the Sixth Prince, His Majesty the Starry Sky."

"Princess Jiujiu, there's no need to be so polite."

"Your Majesty has prepared the dinner. Your Highness and Your Majesty, please come in."

"please."

Led by Princess Jiujiu, Xu Tiance and Ye Yulin walked straight into the magnificent Ziquan Palace.

Twelve glazed water curtains descended from the dome, and thousands of icy soul beads drifted in the ripples, filtering the skylight into a rainbow of colors that poured into the hall, shrouding it in a hazy aura of treasure. This was a testament to the sheer wealth and extravagance of the place.

This place is rarely open to the public. It is the place where Emperor Xingluo specially uses to entertain distinguished guests. Today, Emperor Xingluo chose to entertain Xu Tiance here, which definitely shows that he thinks highly of him.

Not long after Xu Tiance sat down, Emperor Xingluo and the Queen came together.

"Xu Tiance, the Sixth Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, greets His Majesty the Emperor Xingluo."

"Prince Tiance, there is no need to be so polite. Today is a family dinner, so there are no so many rules. Please take your seat."

Hearing this, Xu Tiance frowned slightly. "Xingluo Emperor, are you okay? Today is a family dinner. Is it reasonable for you to invite me to the Xingluo royal family's family dinner?"

Although it was called a dinner party, there were really not many people present. There were only five people: Emperor Xingluo, the Queen, Princess Jiujiu, Xu Tiance, and Ye Yulin.

"Prince Tiance is truly a young prodigy. He won the championship in this competition, breaking the legend of Shrek Academy's thousand-year reign as the defending champion. This cup is in honor of you and His Majesty Xingkong. Congratulations on your academy's victory."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Xingluo."

Following Emperor Xingluo, Princess Jiujiu also stood up and toasted Xu Tiance.

"It's a shame that I couldn't compete with Prince Tiance in this competition."

"Princess Jiujiu is not only a peerless beauty, but also a woman who is as capable as any man. She led Xingluo Royal Academy to the semifinals and bravely faced Shrek Academy. I am deeply regretful that I was not able to experience the power of the Star Crown Martial Spirit in this competition."

"There will be opportunities in the future, and I hope Prince Tiance will be willing to give me some advice then."

"must."

Both parties drink from this cup.

After some pleasantries, the party was in high spirits, and with the help of Queen Xingluo's unintentional drunken remarks, the dinner finally got to the point.

Xu Tiance turned the wine glass slightly, glanced at Queen Xingluo and Princess Jiujiu opposite him, and then looked at Emperor Xingluo.

The Xingluo Emperor was calculating so well that the abacus beads were about to hit his face.

"Your Majesty Xingluo, if I understand correctly, what Queen Xingluo meant by that is... that she intends to facilitate a marriage between me and Princess Jiujiu? Is this also what you think?"

"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with what the Queen said. Jiujiu is my most beloved sister, very talented, and about the same age as Your Highness. They are a match made in heaven."

It sounds nice to say, but he just wants to use the marriage to have a pair of reliable eyes by his side.

"This is a matter of marriage between two countries, and I have no right to make the decision."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If Prince Tiance has no interest in Jiujiu, I respect your choice. If you two are relatively satisfied with each other, I will send an envoy to discuss the follow-up matters with the emperor of your country.

Prince Tiance, I wonder if the jewel in the crown of our Xingluo Empire, Princess Jiujiu, can still catch your eye?"

Xu Tiance smiled politely in response. Since you said so, if I say I don’t like her, won’t I slap you in the face in front of your wife and your sister?
Besides, we can't speak against our conscience, right?

"Princess Jiujiu is an unrivaled beauty, with a natural beauty. If I could marry her, I would wake up smiling even in my dreams."

Emperor Xingluo suddenly smiled happily and looked at Princess Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, what about you? What do you think of Prince Tiance?"

"But I leave it to my royal brother to make the decision. I have no objection for a long time."

"Alright! Since both of you are so willing, I will soon send an envoy with my letter to the Sun-Moon Empire to discuss the marriage."

Everything was said and the conversation went quite well. Both sides naturally enjoyed the dinner at Ziquan Hall and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

After Xu Tiance's repeated refusal, he and Starry Sky Douluo left the Xingluo Palace in the cover of night.

"Your Highness, what does the Xingluo Empire mean by this? Are they deciding to send the dignified princess of the empire to another country? Are they so hasty?"

"This old fox is full of evil. His plan to marry Xu Jiujiu to me was fake. His main purpose is to send Xu Jiujiu to the Sun Moon Empire, keep her by my side to monitor me, and at the same time, interfere in the battle for the throne."

"You mean they intend to stir up a fight between you and the prince?"

"That's right. After the competition, my status and reputation in the Sun-Moon Empire will rise sharply, and I will inevitably become a thorn in Big Brother's side.

While the fight for the throne is intensifying, send the princess to marry. If this goes through, with Xu Jiujiu's eyes, they can not only seize the opportunity to intensify the conflict between me and my elder brother and trigger a civil war, but they can also easily find out about the political struggles, economic development, soul guide research and other aspects of the empire.

Moreover, Xu Jiujiu can openly use my name to gain a foothold in the Sun and Moon Empire and obtain and deliver benefits for the Xingluo Empire.

Xingluo, his heart deserves death."

"As expected, there is no such thing as unprovoked goodwill; it's all driven by interests and struggles."

"After all, being in different camps, whether it's marriage or alliance, it's just a means to gain benefits. It's far less reliable than becoming stronger on your own."

"The Xingluo Emperor chose Princess Jiujiu to do this. It seems that this woman is no ordinary person."

"Of course she's not simple. She's always been by the side of the Star Luo Emperor, helping him solve his problems."

"Since Your Highness knows all this, why did you agree to the marriage?"

"It was just a verbal agreement, but he could go back on his word the next moment. How could a marriage between two countries be that simple? All it takes is a little surprise or misunderstanding to ruin it.

As long as the Emperor doesn't give in, no matter how nice our words are tonight, they will all be in vain."

Ye Yulin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, do you think His Majesty will agree?"

"will not."

"Your Highness is so confident?"

"The main reason is that I'm still young, and I'm already engaged to Meng'er. Besides, how could I possibly hide the Star Luo Empire's little tricks from my father? He wouldn't try to trick me like that."

"I think Princess Jiujiu is very beautiful, even more so than Luo Xinyao and Meng Hongchen. Your Highness, are you not moved at all?"

"Forget about her. She's beautiful, but she's still biased towards her brother and her motherland. Not only will she be of no help to me, she might even hinder me.

Okay, Grandpa Yulin, go back and rest early, we will leave Xingluo City tomorrow."
