Imperial City Inn

Small Courtyard in the Black Clouds Kingdom

“Second Brother, who was that couple standing on the city wall when we entered the city?”Xiao Jingyu asked with a gloomy face.

She thought that her looks were the best in the world. However, when she entered the city and saw a man and a woman standing on the city wall through the gap of the carriage, she was first surprised and then jealous.

She was first surprised to see Jiang Zhennan. He was slender, had a strong temperament, and was handsome. He was her ideal candidate for the prince consort.

Moreover, when she saw him standing on the city wall, he had an extraordinary aura. Those soldiers were very respectful of him, so she could tell that his status was definitely not low.

Regardless of whether he was a descendant of the royal family or a prince or minister, as long as his status was not low, he could become her husband.

Originally, she was reluctant to come to the Longyan Kingdom for a marriage alliance. With the strength of the Black Cloud Kingdom, there was no need for a marriage alliance.

However, when she thought of the orders her father had given her and what he had said to her, she instantly felt sad, but she had no choice but to submit.

The Black Clouds Kingdom had been eyeing the Longyan Kingdom for more than ten years. Ten years ago, they thought that they could break through the border defense line of the Longyan Kingdom. However, they did not expect that a war god from the enemy country would descend from the sky and defeat the army of the Black Clouds Kingdom until they were driven back to the Black Clouds Kingdom.

However, his father was not willing to fail just like that. After that, he ordered a few attacks, but they all returned in defeat.

His father had no choice but to temporarily stop attacking.

Since attacking from the outside didn’t work, he would start from the inside. His father had sent people to the imperial palace of Longyan Country many times to assassinate, poison, and seduce the current emperor, but they had all failed.

Moreover, because they had already alerted the enemy, the imperial palace of the Longyan Kingdom was already on guard and alert. If they sent people in later, they would all be like stones falling into the river. They would not even be able to send back any information.

Only then did Imperial Father temporarily stop his actions, but his thoughts did not rest.

Two hundred years ago, the founding emperors of the various countries had an agreement to hold a friendship exchange meeting between the various countries every three years.

And this year, it was held in Longyan Country.

His father felt that this was an opportunity.

Using the appearance of a marriage alliance to sow discord within the palace, such as between the emperor and the princes, between the emperor and the ministers of various countries, between the princes and grand princes, and so

on…

Therefore, his father chose her, this beautiful and talented sixth daughter, to come.

Because beautiful women always attract men’s attention, and beautiful, intelligent, and talented women are even more attractive.

Her original plan was to pick a prince or imperial grand prince who had the potential to become an emperor.

However, she had fallen in love with the man at first sight at the city gate, which made her feel that this marriage alliance was actually a good thing.

No matter who this man was or what his status was, she would definitely plead with her father to save his life after the Black Cloud Kingdom took over Longyan Kingdom. Then, she would let him be a prince consort.

As long as he promised not to participate in political affairs, his father and the Crown Prince would definitely turn a blind eye and let him go.

However, as her thoughts wandered, she immediately realized that there was a woman standing beside this man.

Although she was a little far away, she still realized that the woman’s appearance was definitely not inferior to hers.

This made her very angry and jealous.

Looking at the gloomy and jealous expression of the sixth sister, the second prince Xiao Jingrui’s dark and deep eyes burst out a fierce light.

” That’s the War God General of Longyan Kingdom and his fiancée, Princess Guguo!”

“Second Brother, you said that man is the War God General of Longyan

Kingdom?”Xiao Jingyu immediately asked in surprise,” Could he be our Black

Clouds Kingdom’s most hated opponent, Jiang Zhennan?”

Her father once said that if the Longyan Kingdom didn’t have Jiang Zhennan, they might have taken over the Longyan Kingdom a few years ago.

Therefore, for the monarch of the Black Clouds Kingdom, the opponent he hated the most was not the emperor of the Longyan Kingdom but the general of the Longyan Kingdom, Jiang Zhennan.

“But, Royal Sister heard that the person was an ugly monster. That was why he wore a silver mask to the battlefield.”Xiao Jingyu said in shock,” But the man on the city wall is clearly handsome and extraordinary. How can he be an ugly monster?”

Xiao Jingrui sneered and said, “Jiang Zhennan always wears a mask. Who can know his true face under the mask?”

“So, Second Brother, do you mean that Jiang Zhennan has always looked like this?”Xiao Jingyu said suspiciously.

“No, I’ve fought with him before and knocked off his mask. His face was indeed disfigured! “Xiao Jingrui said,” As for why he looks like this now, it must have something to do with his fiancée!”

“Fiancée?” Xiao Jingyu’s expression did not look too good.” The woman standing with her on the city wall?”

“That’s right!” Xiao Jingrui nodded.

“That woman is the princess of this Country?”Xiao Jingyu’s expression was very ugly, but then she asked doubtfully,” Second Brother, I heard that the Emperor’s favorite daughter is the ninth princess Yuwen Ling. Could that woman be Yuwen Ling?” In her opinion, the status of Princess Gu was more noble than ordinary princesses, so she thought that Princess Gu was the favored ninth princess, Yuwen Ling.

Xiao Jingrui shook his head and said,” No, this princess of Guguo has just been conferred the title. I heard she’s a farmer’s daughter!” Xiao Jingrui said.

“Farmer girl?” Xiao Jingyu said in surprise,” How is that possible? She was just a peasant girl. How could she be conferred the title of Princess Gu by the Emperor of Longyan Country? Could that woman be the illegitimate daughter of the emperor? Because he felt sorry for staying in the countryside, she was given the title of princess?”

As compensation!

Xiao Jingrui sneered and said,” Ha, since the founding of Longyan Kingdom, she is the second princess of the country after the founding princess Yuwen Fengfei who was granted the title of princess of Guguo by the founding monarch! Do you think that an illegitimate daughter is qualified to be conferred the title of Princess Guguo?”

Xiao Jingyu was stunned and then asked in confusion,” Second Brother, what do you mean?”

Xiao Jingrui said coldly,” What do 1 mean? Sixth sister would know in the future! However, I have to remind you that Father wants you to choose one of the princes and grand princes to be the Prince Consort!”

After saying that, he swept a cold glance at Xiao Jingyu and left the courtyard!

Xiao Jingyu looked at his back as he walked away. A hint of anger and resentment flashed in her eyes, but then it disappeared and was replaced by contempt and ridicule.

Her second brother was getting more and more arrogant!

But, hmph, that throne will always belong to my big brother, Crown Prince

Xiao Jingyun!
