Li Yuguo is a fifth-rank official, which is probably higher than the city lord of a city. After all, a ninth-rank official can become the county magistrate of a county, and the current scale of Dragon City is no different from that of a county.
Even Nalan Meng, who was named the Lord of Nalan City before, her title was only eighth rank. Now Li Yuguo has become a fifth rank official in one fell swoop. There is no doubt that she has changed her identity. Now even if When the five major families saw him, they had to weigh their identities before making a decision about Li Huguo.
Of course, official rank is only illusory. If Li Huguo can become a cabinet minister, it will be equivalent to honoring his ancestors.
The cabinet ministers of the Haotian Kingdom are somewhat different. The cabinet ministers of other imperial courts are cabinet ministers, but in the Haotian Kingdom, if you become a cabinet minister, it is equivalent to being a member of the Haotian Divine Sect.
After all, Haotian Kingdom is a super large sect, cloaked in the guise of a country.
However, it is also very difficult to be a cabinet minister of the Haotian Kingdom, because the third grade is the threshold for entry.
For ordinary people, the fifth rank is already a huge leap, but for Li Huguo, the fifth rank is already a very good level. After all, he had no rank before.
The emperor nodded towards the eldest prince, seeming to be hinting at something. Li Yuguo looked in his eyes and did not dare to speak. At this time, the eldest prince said: "I wonder how many wives and concubines the third brother has at home now?"
"There are three family members." Li Huguo said.
The eldest prince was overjoyed and said: "Okay, in that case, I have a royal sister who is fourteen years old and in her prime of youth. If the third brother doesn't give up, why don't we get closer and get closer."
Hearing this, Li Yuguo's heart sank, and at this time Ji Wushuang said in Li Yuguo's ear: "As soon as you come to the court, you will worship the fifth rank. The emperor is not worried about you and betrothed his daughter to you. That is also to be wary of you. A princess is sent to you as your wife to monitor you. You cannot refuse, otherwise you will get angry. In the current royal family, there are only five princes, but there are thirty-two princesses. And this princess is fourteen years old, and she is probably the famous Princess Taiping... "
"Princess Taiping?" Li Yuguo frowned, because in his impression, Princess Taiping was also written about in the novel. She was a princess who had a good relationship with the eldest prince, but she was not considered a princess. She could only be regarded as the eldest prince's cousin. , because she was the daughter of the eldest prince’s mother-in-law’s family. This girl was naturally beautiful, but the queen liked her so much that the queen named her Princess Taiping.
This girl is extremely loyal to the royal family. From this, it can be seen that this girl must be a pawn placed by the emperor beside him. The eldest prince is nominally his eldest brother, but in fact he is not very confident about him.
If Li Yuguo refuses at this time, I'm afraid he will only get into trouble. As Ji Wushuang said, he can't eat and walk around.
Li Yuguo gritted his teeth: "I... thank you Lord for your kindness, but..."
"But?" Anger appeared on the emperor's face and he said, "I think highly of you, so I will marry my beloved daughter to you. Does it mean you are unwilling to accept it?"
"Your Majesty, I am sincere and frightened, and naturally I am extremely grateful. However, what I said is that Tianlang City is about to move, and now it has no fixed place. The princess married too early, and I am afraid she will have to endure hardships. After all, the journey is tiring. "Princess Taiping is a noble woman, if there is any evil, I can't bear the punishment." Li Yuguo refused in a different way, and he also used his words to be very reasonable.
The emperor nodded and stroked his beard: "Forget it, I will take you to put Dragon City in order and then discuss this marriage..."
Li Yuguo breathed a sigh of relief. Now the three girls in his family are enough for him to eat a pot. If he adds one more, it will cause a big fuss. And this Princess Taiping is the emperor's spy. If he takes her with him, I am afraid that in the future, Everything you do must be monitored, so if you find any treasure, how can the emperor let it go
Being able to marry the emperor's daughter is an ordinary man's dream, but Li Yuguo doesn't think so, because Li Huguo feels that first of all, Princess Taiping is too young, and his mental age is that of a thirty-year-old uncle. He would not care about such a young girl. But there is no interest. Secondly, Li Huguo must focus all his attention on the opportunities around Dragon City and absolutely not allow others to disturb him.
The eldest prince said: "General Li has thought carefully. It is true that the pain of moving is not something ordinary people can bear. From Tianlang City to Dragon City, there are eight hundred miles in front and back. It would take less than ten days and a half to complete the journey. Even when we get to Dragon City, it will be a mess. If my precious girl is allowed to wallow in this mess, Brother Yu will not be able to bear it."
"If there is nothing important, I will retire first. After all, I still have to clean up the things in Nalan City and report back to Your Majesty the income and status of the workshop!" Li Huguo said.
"Okay, then step down." The emperor smiled slightly. When they first met, he didn't hate or like Li Huguo, but he was still a little satisfied when he saw Li Huguo's humble words.
Li Yuguo left immediately, only to find a pale-faced Ye Qiong standing outside the palace. It was Ye Qiong who came up with the plan to siege the city this time, and the next step was the emperor's personal decision, and he would have a drink at that time.
Li Yuguo and Ye Qiong passed by each other without saying hello. Ye Qiong was leaning on his crutches, looking miserable, and glanced at Li Huguo with gritted teeth. He remembered the hatred he had for eating shit before, and hated Li Yuguo so much that his teeth itched. Li Huguo turned his back to him and left. If this wasn't the palace, he really wanted to stab Li Hugo in the back: "Go ahead, don't get hit by a car."
"Thank you, please wish yourself well." Li Hugo glanced at him, "I wish you good luck."
"You..." Ye Qiong gritted his teeth, but it was difficult to get angry. The guards around him were looking at him.
Li Yuguo decisively left the hall, and at this time he saw a subtle singing sound coming from the royal garden in the distance. He couldn't help but walked over, and when he took a closer look, he found that there was a hazy girl next to the pool. Play the piano.
She looked pretty and charming, with fair skin, as if she could pinch water. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looked somewhat familiar.
Li Huguo took another look, which made the girl giggle: "Li Huguo?"
"You know me?"
"Of course I know you. I heard that you have outstanding literary talent. I play the piano, how about you compose a poem?" the girl said.
"Okay." Li Yuguo raised his eyebrows, saying that he was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see the identity of this girl first.
I could only hear the long, melodious sound of the piano, and there was a sadness hidden in it. I didn't expect it to be played by such a young girl.
Li Yuguo rolled his eyes and said:
"It's as white as snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon among the clouds. I heard that you have two opinions, so I came to make a decision.
Today's drinking party, Mingdangou water head. The crocodile is on the ditch, and the ditch water flows east and west.
Desolate and desolate, there is no need to cry when getting married. Would like to have as one people, old age is not way off.
How curling are the bamboo poles, and how clumsy are the fish tails! A man cares about his spirit, why use money and a knife! "
The girl was stunned, then she covered her mouth and smiled softly: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will never be apart until we grow old together. You are so clever in plagiarizing, Zhuo Wenjun's bald-headed chant."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuguo's heart exploded. He wanted to know where there is Zhuo Wenjun in this world, and probably not many people knew about this Bai Tou Yin, but this girl knew about this Bai Tou Yin? !
Who is she
"I don't know who Zhuo Wenjun is, and I don't know what Bai Tou Yin is. I heard this from a teahouse where people sang books." Li Huguo said quickly.
"Li Huguo, when you came back from hell, do you remember... what did you forget to drink?" the girl said again.
Li Yuguo was shocked. At that time, he remembered clearly that he had escaped from Meng Po Soup. At that time, Meng Po was chasing him, and later he was kicked by a bull-headed horse noodle. He did not drink Meng Po Soup. , this girl actually knows
Li Huguo said: "Are you Princess Taiping?"
"Oh? Do you know me?" She was surprised.
Li Yuguo looked at her and then moved his gaze downwards: "She is as her name suggests, well, Taiping... Princess Taiping is just like a chopping board." Li Yuguo said it seriously.
When the girl heard this, her pretty face changed: "You, you are looking for death!"
Li Yuguo chuckled: "See you later..."
With that said, Li Yuguo left quickly. Li Yuguo looked calm, but his heart was already turbulent. What is the origin of this Princess Taiping? According to what the eldest prince said, she should be his cousin, but why does she know these things
