C7 Princess Groom
This land, there is an honorable name — Salute! This nation had the greatest power in the entire Three Realms.
This city had a resounding name — the imperial capital! This is the most prosperous city in the entire Three Realms.
Could it be that the whole world was under the control of the king? Could it be that this was the territory of a king? This was the glory of this country in its heyday!
The Great Clarity Hall.
The emperor had called for a group of officials to attend to him. He was graceful and elegant, and every move he made gave off a domineering aura. The officials were also not ordinary people. All of them were in high spirits and looked dignified.
The monarch said: "The princess is now twenty-eight years old, and is already married. I wonder what methods do you have for me to recruit a son-in-law?"
When His Highness heard these words, he slowly walked out and started speaking, "The princess is naturally beautiful, but also intelligent. Since she has been proficient in all kinds of magic since childhood, this son-in-law should also be an accomplished literary talent, a handsome young man!"
"What your beloved official said is indeed true. "Then what method should we use to get married?" In truth, he had already thought of a plan in his heart. The reason why he allowed these ministers to speak was just to show that he was' democratic '.
Another official came out and said, "This official thinks that we can have a test of the civil and martial arts together. After the written test, it will be decided by the Princess' Embroidery Ball."
"Oh? Why is it the first Martial Arts Competition? " This is one of the reasons why the king does not speak his mind.
The court official had long read through the monarch's thoughts, and voluntarily took the blame. He then continued, "Since ancient times, there has been no number one warrior, and no number two. The first round of the martial arts exam is simple and easy to filter out. Let them sign the Life and Death Contract. We only need to select the quota. When the time comes for the written test, there will only be a small group of people left. But if it is the written test, it will definitely arouse a big debate on the higher ups and lower rankings, and it will be inefficient after a long time. "
"Ai, this art of love is indeed wise, but how can I bear it? Let me be respectful to my people and kill each other in this marriage selection?" The Emperor's schemes would not be extinct no matter what era it was in. It was necessary to put on an act.
The court official then continued to chime in, "Your Majesty, I have always been respectful towards efficiency. Today, this is the only way to be respectful towards me in the shortest possible time! Moreover, if we are to compete in martial arts, there will always be casualties. What His Majesty can do is to provide for the injured and let them understand his painstaking efforts! "
"Ai, fine, let's do it this way then. This matter will be handed over to you. "It's getting late. Let's call it a day today." The Sovereign King waved his hand, signalling for the officials to disperse. He was very satisfied with today's meeting.
The minister who plotted this was also very happy as he received another reward! He went down to prepare for the engagement ceremony.
The flowers bloomed on a table, and Bai ZiAo followed Old Meng all the way to the capital. The prosperity of the imperial city had truly broadened his horizons. Whether it was the streets, decorations, conversations, or the flow of people, they all amazed him. Of course, he couldn't enjoy it as much as he wanted, because there were White Clan members everywhere.
However, the old Meng family didn't make Bai Zi so 'comfortable'. It was reduced to one word: small!
When he first entered the Meng Family, Bai ZiAo thought that he was only going to the Meng Family's kitchen, because this place was filled with rice, oil, salt, and vinegar tea. However, later on, Meng told him that their house was only a single room and a hall, and this "kitchen" was their main hall.
"Brother Meng, how do you and your sister-in-law live in such a crowded place?" In this place, he felt that it was already very crowded to live alone, not to mention two people.
As for Brother Meng's daughter-in-law, when Bai Ziao first met her, he felt that she was a woman who brought warmth to others. It may not have been beautiful, but it was definitely not ugly. However, that faint smile and appropriate etiquette gave people an indescribable feeling of comfort. A woman like an angel, Bai ZiAo thought.
Old Meng only gave a shallow smile to Bai ZiAo's question, "ZiAo, you don't know much about it. Although the capital is bustling with talents, there are many people here, so the price of a house is extremely high. "Brother, I am already quite satisfied that I have such a small foothold in my struggle for many years.
Bai ZiAo did not know what to say, of course he did not understand Old Meng's thoughts, he could only helplessly help him out: "Haha, Brother Meng is generous, not to mention you have a sister-in-law! As long as the two of them are together, then this is nothing. "
"Haha …" "Zi Ao, you're mocking your brother Meng …" Before Old Meng could finish his words, the sound of thunder could be heard, followed by a series of rumbling sounds.
Bai Zi frowned, he did not understand, it was just a sunny day just now, how could there be thunder all of a sudden?
"Zi Ao, come out with me and have a look. It seems like His Majesty is going to issue another decree." Old Meng had long since gotten used to this, so he had no choice but to drag Bai Zi Ao out onto the streets.
A few clouds drifted across the sky, and the thunder began to dissipate, but a human voice could be heard.
"According to the luck of the heavens, the Emperor's edict says, 'The princess of the imperial court is in her early twenties.' Now is the time for marriage. If you wish to find a son-in-law, register at the drill grounds before tomorrow's day.'
The voice was loud and clear, and every time he said a word, a cloud would form into a single word. By the time he finished reciting it, the sky had already formed a "decree".
"Brother Meng, this is?" Bai Zi Ao seemed to understand.
Old Meng smiled. He suddenly came up with a plan, "Come, follow me. Let's go to the drill grounds to take a look."
Bai ZiAo had no choice but to follow Brother Meng. When they arrived at the drill grounds, it was already filled with a sea of people. Looking at the situation, it seemed that everyone had come to register.
"Brother Meng, you already have a sister-in-law, what are we doing here?" Bai ZiAo still didn't understand what old Meng was trying to do.
But old Meng insisted on going forward. He took Bai Zi and arrogantly squeezed and squeezed, finally arriving at the front of the line.
"Wait here for me. I'll go to the front and take a look." Old Meng patted Bai ZiAo's shoulder.
Bai ZiAo was very surprised, "Brother Meng, you aren't really going to register, are you?"
"What a joke!" Who do you think your Brother Meng is? I'll go ahead and take a look, the person in charge of registration is my friend. You just wait here. " Old Meng obviously wasn't that kind of person, but that person in charge wasn't his friend.
"Register, Bai ZiAo!" Old Meng squeezed his way to the registration office and threw a pinch of crushed silver to the soldier in charge of registration.
The soldier looked at him and mocked, "Look at you, you don't look like someone with magic power. Do you want to sign up? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death in the arena? "
Old Meng smiled and didn't say anything, he just pointed to Bai ZiAo who was not far away, and said: "The one registering isn't me, it's that elegant Young Noble over there! Even though he might look like a weak scholar, he is still a disciple of the White Clan, and his magic power is not low! "
Only then did the soldier rein himself a little. After all, the White Clan had more or less influence no matter where they went. After writing Bai ZiAo's name on the paper, he told Old Meng the time and told him to leave.
Old Meng walked out in satisfaction, calling out to Bai ZiAo and chatting merrily as he walked home.
Bai Ziao obviously didn't know that he was being dug into a pit by Old Meng, and was still wondering what was going on.
