Five million and five hundred thousand gold was a sum that some countries could not even earn in a year. But in Xu, it was just a game to please the rich and powerful.
None of the subsequent bids had reached this figure.
Zhu Minglang had thus become the son-in-law of the Empress this year.
Although Zhu Minglang also knew that this was inseparable from his identity, it was also closely related to his impressive appearance, extraordinary handsomeness, outstanding poetry talent, excellent swordsmanship, and righteousness!
The selection of son-in-law gradually came to an end with the high bids of the last few outstanding son-in-law. The most shocking thing was naturally Zhu Minglang's bid, which was far higher than that of other competitors.
… …
At night, Zhu Minglang had been invited to the palace.
It was so fast that Zhu Minglang was still a little unaccustomed. He did not expect that the selection of son-in-law in Xu would be so urgent. Shouldn't it take a few more days to get used to each other before carrying out the night project?
Or could it be that the son-in-law who was bought was already a hidden talent and would not be allowed to show his face in public again?
This was also good. After taking the jade ornaments, he could directly escape. Zhu Minglang could return the sky-high betrothal gifts that the Princess had given him.
The banquet was grand. Zhu Minglang drank several cups of wine and quietly waited in the Princess' Hall in the palace. Xu had always been a country where women had the right to speak. Even in the palace, men with special identities were rarely allowed to walk around.
Zhu Minglang was not in a hurry. He would naturally get what he wanted in the bridal chamber in the middle of the night.
Gold, silver, and jewelry were carried to the courtyard one by one. Zhu Minglang was dressed up by a group of eccentric palace maids … …
He did not expect that he would not experience the joy of a bridegroom's life on the wedding night. Instead, he would experience the exquisite and luxurious treatment of the bride in advance.
Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, Zhu Minglang found that the palace was inexplicably silent. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Could it be that Princess Luo Shui would get drunk, then push open the door and begin to do improper things?
The escape route had already been planned. After obtaining the Silver Jade Ornament, Zhu Minglang would make the princess faint and then immediately leave the country. However, Princess Luo Shui was still nowhere to be seen!
"Princess!"
"Your Highness, Young Master Zhu has been waiting in the palace for a long time."
"Congratulations, Princess."
Hearing the voices of several female attendants, Zhu Minglang's eyes lit up. He put down the grapes in his hand and sat upright.
Little girl, you're finally here!
…
The door was gently opened by the two maids. Princess Luo Shui had obviously gone through some meticulous dressing. Her silk clothes clung tightly to her graceful body, and one could imagine the silkiness and softness of her skin.
Her platinum silk-like hair appeared even more noble and charming under the moonlight and colored lanterns. As for the Silver Jade Ornament, it added a bit of mystery, holiness and charm to her appearance.
"No one has ever seen the real appearance of the princess, is this true?" Zhu Minglang poured a cup of flower wine and handed it to the leisurely arriving princess.
"Do you want to see it?" A smile appeared on Princess Luo Shui's face. Her words were somewhat teasing, "Drink a cup of wine with this princess."
Drinking a cup of wine meant that the two faces would be very close to each other.
Princess Luo Shui stretched out her hand and gently passed through the crook of Zhu Minglang's arm. Then, little by little, she hooked Zhu Minglang in front of her.
Zhu Minglang didn't care. It was just a show. Drinking a cup of wine wouldn't cause him to lose his chastity. He allowed Princess Luo Shui to slowly move her cheek closer to his.
Feeling that warm breath with a hint of drunkenness, Zhu Minglang tried his best to remain calm, but he vaguely felt that something wasn't right.
"Aren't you going to take it off for me?" Princess Luo Shui exhaled.
Zhu Minglang entered a meditative state. After drinking the wine, he stretched out his hand …
It wasn't like he was going to take off her robe, so there was no need to be nervous.
Taking off her Silver Jade Ornament, he gave the princess a gentlemanly smile that said, "Sorry, the one I love is not you." Then, he knocked her out, dodged the two secret guards, and fled far away with his sisters-in-law!
The Silver Jade Ornament was taken off slowly. Purely out of curiosity, Zhu Minglang still took a look at the appearance of this mysterious princess who made the hearts of all the men in the country itch …
Under the ornament, she was a beauty. Similarly, after taking off the ornament, her appearance was even more stunning than he had imagined.
Zhu Minglang looked at her in a daze. At the same time, his entire body trembled as if he had been electrocuted!
"This … This … This …" Zhu Minglang was speechless for a long time. He stared at Princess Luo Shui, his mind blank!
…
…
Outside the palace, Wu Feng had his face covered. He was quietly waiting for Zhu Minglang outside the palace walls.
Wu Feng was aware of Zhu Minglang's plan. As his senior brother, he should do his best to help Zhu Minglang escape from the marriage. However, Zhu Minglang still hadn't come out. This gave Wu Feng a bad premonition.
"Ladies, there's no need to be anxious. Perhaps Junior Brother has encountered something troublesome." Wu Feng said.
"That's right. The princess is too alluring. It must be hard for him to come down from her jade bed in such a short time." Nan Yu Suo said with a smile.
"Yu Suo!" Li Xinghua said with a frown.
"Sister, it's almost dawn. Why don't we go back and rest first? Tomorrow morning, sister will stew some deer antler soup and send it to the palace, lest Young Master Zhu overworks himself." Nan Yu Suo said.
Li Xinghua was also very confused. She didn't understand why Zhu Minglang still hadn't appeared.
Could it be that he couldn't resist the temptation in the end?
"Let's wait a little longer. I know Junior Brother's character. He will never betray the two ladies." Wu Feng said seriously.
"We have nothing to do with him. He can do whatever he wants with the princess. It has nothing to do with us. As for the Ancient Lamp Jade, we can find it ourselves. "Nan Yu Suo snorted coldly.
Li Xinghua didn't say anything.
Zhu Minglang's choice wasn't something they could control.
However, when they heard Yu Suo say that Li Yunzi had woken up for a short time today and didn't seem willing to back down, they couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
…
Princess Palace.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Scented sachets hung from the maple trees, swaying gently with the breeze, filling the entire courtyard with a pleasant fragrance.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhu Minglang's forehead. He clenched the silver jade ornament tightly, but his gaze was fixed on Princess Luo Shui …
Princess Luo Shui wasn't in her most beautiful years. Many people knew this, but this didn't stop her from being famous in the entire Xu Country.
And her appearance was even more sacred and secretive. Even the people in the palace might not be clear about it.
In fact, for a few moments, Zhu Minglang vaguely felt that he had heard Princess Luo Shui's voice somewhere before, but he couldn't connect the two people together.
When he removed the silver jade ornament on her forehead and saw her true appearance, Zhu Minglang wanted to give himself a big slap.
"Wen Lingfei!" Zhu Minglang spat out this name with great difficulty.
"So Sect Master Meng didn't tell you." Princess Luo Shui, who had revealed her true appearance, smiled, her eyes like the autumn moon.
This Princess Luo Shui was none other than the youngest Sect Master of the Mount Ming Sword Sect, Wen Lingfei!
This woman, what did she have to make him faint!
