Chapter 34: Revealing the Identity

Li Zhongzhong was standing next to his aunt and heard the Xiliang envoy's words, and his heart suddenly became flustered, as if he was shocked like a bolt from the blue, "Second...Second husband? Will the ninth princess agree?" He was stunned for a long time before After regaining consciousness, he turned his head and took a deep look at Princess Nine. It was okay if he didn't look at it, but he was even more disheartened after watching it. His beautiful and deep eyes were still bottomless and cold, which made people unable to fathom .Li Zhong couldn't help being sore in his heart, and thought to himself: "It turns out that I'm really self-indulgent, so I don't care about it anymore." The sourness in his heart gradually spread.

He raised his head and glanced at the envoy of Xiliang who was standing with his head held high in the main hall, then turned his gaze to look up and down the third prince of Xiliang, he must be standing in the middle with a stately appearance and gorgeous clothes; after watching for a long time, he retracted his eyes in embarrassment, The pain spread to the whole heart again, maybe this is a match made in heaven between a man and a woman, he forced himself to look away, pretending not to care, but his heart was full of jealousy, jealous that the prince of Xiliang could express his love so openly, And myself. . .Thinking of this, his whole heart hurts as if someone had sprinkled salt on it. This hasty glance always made Li Zhongzhong feel that one of the envoys was staring at him all the time, and he pretended to glance at him casually. I don't know for a long time.

At this moment, the princes and ministers in the Jinluan Palace have long been confused by what the Xiliang envoy said, and after thinking about it, they still can't figure out what the Xiliang country is up to; if it is said that the two countries are married, as long as This Xiliang princess's marriage to the third prince of our country is enough to express her sincerity. Even if the Nanli emperor loves his own nine princesses, he will not be wronged by the dignified prince of his country to become the second husband of the nine princesses of the Nanli dynasty!

Just when the civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked, the man sitting on the dragon chair in the center of the hall finally spoke: "It is a great honor for me to be married to Xiliang in the Nanli dynasty. The whole country is full of joy, but The marriage of the Ninth Princess..." The emperor paused, turned to look at the Ninth Princess, sighed inaudibly, and then said meaningfully: "I have loved her since I was a child, and I have promised to let the Ninth Princess be alone. Choosing a husband and son-in-law is a golden word! You can't change it, let Sheng'er decide this marriage."

After hearing these words, Li Zhongzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe the emperor was thinking about the former queen, so he finally gave the choice to the ninth princess. Maybe Li Zhongzhong subconsciously thought that the ninth princess would not marry a woman so easily. That's why I was relieved. If the ninth princess really married the third prince of Xiliang, then the ninth princess would not be the ninth princess.

The hall was unusually quiet. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Princess Nine, waiting for Princess Nine to speak. There were also a few people in the hall looking down at Li Zhongzhong calmly.

Immediately, the nine princesses said: "I already have a husband and son-in-law, and this matter is known to everyone. Besides, there is no precedent for two husbands in the Nanli Dynasty. If I agree, it is unreasonable. Thank you His Majesty the Emperor of Xiliang, with this kindness, Nanli wishes the two countries to be good friends and marry forever." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it down in one gulp.

The third prince of Xiliang suddenly stood up and interrupted the ninth princess and said loudly: "Is it possible that the great country of Nanli can still be trapped by a disagreement? This prince begs the ninth princess to let me compete with the nine son-in-law. The person the princess will marry must be a dragon and a phoenix among men, capable of both civil and military skills!"

"If the prince of Xiliang wants to compete with the son-in-law, it is hard to refuse the kindness, but if the peace is hurt because of the marriage, I really don't want to see it." The nine princesses said these words neither humble nor overbearing, with a pun, and she refused. The marriage also preserved the face of the other party. It really is a princess of a country, and everyone is demeanor.

The envoy from Xiliang couldn't force himself to hear it at this moment, so he bowed and hid the third prince behind him. With standard Xiliang etiquette, he leaned over and said: "The friendship between the two countries is the result of generations of Nanli and Xiliang. The long-cherished wish of the generation, since the princess has made a decision, Wu Gerui will not be reluctant; A few days ago, His Majesty collected a fine scroll, and he couldn't put it down; Wu Ge Rui brought this painting into the land of Nanli and personally dedicated it to His Majesty Nanli. This trip was also very rewarding. Wu Ge Rui brought Jiecan's "Book Boy" and personally displayed this painting. This scroll is dedicated to the emperor. Your Majesty, may the Nanli Dynasty and the Xiliang Dynasty enjoy eternal peace!"

"Good! Good!" The emperors of all dynasties were careerists, and they were very happy to see the border country surrender to the dynasty under their control. Su Tuoba was extremely happy sitting on the dragon chair, and the whole hall reverberated Hearing the man's hearty laughter, all the officials knelt down and congratulated each other; after a while, the man on the dragon chair spoke to the eunuch next to him and said, "Present the picture scroll." After speaking, he turned to He said to Wu Gerui: "For me, tell the King of Xiliang that our country and him will be married. I thank the King of Xiliang for his kindness, and hope that the two countries will enjoy peace and prosperity forever!"

Wu Gerui bowed and returned: "I am honored." After finishing speaking, he motioned to Jiecan's servants to present the painting, and the servants stepped out with their heads down and walked forward step by step carefully.

Li Zhongzhong stood aside for some reason, looking at the book boy brought by Wuge Rui, he always felt strangely familiar, and after careful scrutiny, he still found nothing, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The servant presented the scroll to the eunuch, and the two slowly unfolded the scroll from left to right and presented it in front of the emperor. As soon as the scroll was opened, there was a refreshing aroma of calligraphy and ink that pressed into the stomach, and everyone couldn't help but Take a deep breath.

Everyone around was immersed in this indescribable and stunning picture scroll, but Li Zhongzhong looked at this scene with a feeling of déjà vu. Suddenly, a fragment flashed in his mind, this!Isn't this a picture of poverty!Before he had time to react, Li Zhongzhong couldn't open his face and eyes reflected by a beam of bright light. He raised his hand to block the dazzling beam. The Emperor of Nanli Country!

Li Zhongzhong ran over quickly, only to find that the cold and sharp one was actually the nine princesses. His heart fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't help calling out: "Sheng'er!"

The Ninth Princess sat beside the Emperor Su Tuoba and was seriously admiring the peerless scroll, but suddenly found that the scroll seemed a bit damp, how could the scroll be wet due to the drought today.A bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart, and the dazzling light flashed by and I realized that I was already in a dangerous situation at this moment.Turning around and seeing the panic on Li Zhongzhong's face, he realized that the sharp weapon was pointed at him.

Li Zhongzhong looked at the dagger that was still in the air and ran over nervously, exhausting the strength of his life, praying in his heart to God to give him another chance, only two steps, two steps away, never!Never let Sheng'er get hurt, absolutely not!Time froze, and after all, he ran to the face of Jiu Gongzhu and hugged Jiu Gongzhu with all his strength. The whole person fell to the ground due to the impact force, and the clothes on the back of the shoulders were rubbed and damaged, and there was another violent shock. In pain, he gasped.

The nine princesses looked at Li Zhongzhong who was running towards her, and couldn't help but feel full of worry and happiness. It wasn't until Li Zhongzhong ran towards her that she realized that everything else was so insignificant.

The two fell to the ground, the Imperial Forest Army had already rushed to this side to protect the emperor, and subdued the servant. The Xiliang envoy in the hall changed his face in shock, his face was full of disbelief, his legs were so weak that he almost knelt on the hall.

Li Zhongzhong was lying on the ground with severe pain in his shoulders, and finally found that Princess Jiu was motionless in his arms. Surprise and disbelief spread in her beautiful eyes, as well as the hatred that Li Zhongzhong didn't want to see the most. The heart of the person lying on the ground suddenly tightened, his face turned pale instantly, and the senses in his body clearly told him that the hand of the Ninth Princess was touching his chest. . .
