Chapter 15 Officially Announce the Marriage Contract
In the practice field of the inner palace, only princes and princesses will come on weekdays, and then several old generals and King Xia Xiong, but today, many special figures are present.
are almost all princesses who have the right to act.
These princesses include some who have just been neglected but have not been beaten into the cold palace, such as Xia Jiang's mother Qinfei.
The princesses gathered in several places and glanced at them. At a glance, they could almost distinguish every current status. That is to say, Xia Jiang's mother, Qinfei, almost all of them have been snolded and their power status has been almost exhausted. Most of their actions have been limited. Unless the king has an order, they can only stay at home. What you do, lonely and white-headed.
Compared with the miserable situation of these princesses, the other concubines are red, talking and laughing, and they are obviously much more comfortable. They are being favored, and the children of their families are also thriving.
Xia Jiang searched for his memory and had already known that many aspects of the world made him feel familiar.
At this time, with the arrival of all the princesses and the arrival of princes and princesses, the king will announce an important thing today.
"Congratulations, congratulations on the engagement of the ninth princess!"
"Congratulations..."
"Congratulations..."
In the most conspicuous place, several princesses gathered and greeted each other with a smile, congratulating the third prince's mother, on their marriage.
"Well, today is the day when I announce my engagement with the ninth princess. In a few months, they will get married and will become perfect double cultivation..." Concubine Qi accepted the congratulations of several concubines and said.
One of the princesses is the mother of the fourth prince. Like several favored princesses around her, they are extremely beautiful and can't see the traces of time. Under the conditioning of elixir, they are the same age as the princesses.
After congratulating, she listened to Concubine and asked curiously, "I heard that the ninth princess is not only wise and generous, but also has a high cultivation talent, but she has never seen her true face!"
"Yes, yes..." Several concubines immediately agreed. They had never seen the true face of the ninth princess. It is reasonable that as a mother, Concubine should know the secret of her daughter-in-law.
Who knows that this concubine obviously doesn't know, but she doesn't care: "Oh, in my opinion, as a woman, she should focus on wisdom and cultivation talent. Although the ninth princess is not after the emperor of Xia or loyal, it is enough to have this quality."
Hearing what Concubine said, everyone nodded and said yes, but one concubine was still curiously, "That said, when people are covered with a veil, everyone is inevitably curious about her appearance. They hope that she and our unparalleled third prince are a match!"
They all heard the praise of the third prince in the concubine's words, but the imperial concubine did not deny it and said slightly, "It doesn't matter. You will always see the real face."
Far away, some concubines, who were also favored but slightly inferior in status, secretly observed the concubine's side and heard their conversation with the tip of their ears.
One couldn't help whispering, "Look at the princess, why does she look tall? When it comes to the ninth princess, her eyes are still the same, as if the ninth princess is climbing up to her!"
One also whispered, "Yes, I don't like her like that. In contrast, the ninth princess is not better than the third prince except *..."
"To say*, I think that the ninth princess may be much older than her..." One said, and several people were surprised to see her, and then said, "If it hadn't been for *, how could the king accept her as a righteous daughter and seal the ninth princess? You should know that the number of 'nine' is a noble symbol. There is no *. How can Can?"
When several people heard it, they seemed to understand something.
When it comes to the word "nine", several people on the far side who are with Xia Jiang's mother Qinfei have very few words and just wait silently, as if they are lucky to come here.
However, in their hearts, they more or less thought of the concubine Qin, whose son was deeply loved by the king. She was awarded the ninth prince and gave the greatest training. The status of concubine Qin also rose steadily. There was a momentum under one person, but unexpectedly, the prince did not know what he had done in his last life. He was a natural waste material, so that The mother and son** really climbed higher and fell worse.
Compared with Qinfei, although they are also miserable, they are better than the actual situation. At least at present, they still have hope of being favored again.
At this moment, Qinfei has no intention to think about this at this moment. There is only one Xia Jiang in her heart. Although she hasn't seen her son for a long time, she heard that her son and the ninth princess seem to be quite predestined. She was worried that this would hit him and was depressed from then on.
"Jiang Er, mother has nothing more to give you, please forgive... If you can't become a monk after all, you have to go out and live well!" Qinfei bowed her head and thought silently in her heart.
At this time, the princes and princesses had arrived one after another, and they all swept the scene slightly unexpectedly and saw the arrival of their mothers.
Among them, Xia Jiang also came on time. In the past two days, he has been refining several iron weapons into a magic weapon. In the past two days, he has a new understanding of the refinery and demon-eating swordsmanship, and his strength has been improved again, although the bloodline fit is still only three.
When he came to the practice site, he also glanced at it and saw that his mother had also arrived. His heart was suddenly shocked and he was more aware of his father's tough attitude.
According to the rules, all princes and princesses should immediately line up and wait solemnly when they come to the training ground.
As the queue was completed, a tall figure also appeared, which was King Xia Xiong.
Unlike the past, several old generals did not come this time. This situation immediately entered your hearts, and it was clear that their father specially recruited them to announce this matter today, which has nothing to do with the cultivation test.
"Well, all your beloved concubines and beloved sons have come..." Xia Xiong's eyes swept over the scene and then said, "I am now officially announcing that the third prince Xia Huo will be engaged to the ninth princess Xia Yuner. At the end of this month, I will hold an engagement ceremony, and then the royal relatives and nobles will also block my Daxia. The future of the royal family is prosperous!"
In Xia Xiong's rumbling announcement, everyone paid attention to it, as if he felt the supreme king leading the general trend of the empire.
Compared with usual, Xia Xiong's majesty at this moment is more than usual, and no one can question it.
But at this moment, most of the people present unconsciously wrote on their faces, that is, how did the third prince suddenly get engaged to the ninth princess? Needless to say, the ninth princess is obviously not a simple master. Even Xia Yu seems to be very close to the second prince, but there is no practical action. The ninth princess, who has always been mysterious and superior, suddenly can't stand loneliness and chooses the third prince who is not the best?
On the surface, everyone just listened silently, but they were puzzled, but they were just puzzled. At this moment, the ninth princess Xia Yuner's heart was stormy and at a loss.
Xia Yuner was shocked to learn that she had been announced to be engaged to the third prince. Obviously, this was not her intention. She never considered which prince to be engaged to, so it was obviously her father's decision to make arrangements for her.
Originally, most of the future marriages of princes and princesses of a country are arranged by the king, which is understandable, but she is not her own and should not be designated by the king to a certain extent. After all, it depends on the other party* and a trace of intention.
And Xia Yuner did not give any notice before she learned about this. Obviously, the king Xia Xiong had treated her as his own daughter.
Some people couldn't help but glance at Xia Yuner and wanted to see some clues from her reaction, but they all returned to no success. Xia Yuner's face remained motionless, as if it had nothing to do with her, and it seemed that things had already been done and could not be seen through.
At this moment, Xia Jiang naturally couldn't help looking at Xia Yuner, but he couldn't see anything. He wanted to know what Xia Yuner was thinking at this moment. After all, this is a lifelong event.
As Xia Xiong's announcement completely fell, his majestic eyes swept over the scene, and then fell on the third prince Xia Huo and said, "Fire! Yun'er! Come here." With that, his eyes also fell on Xia Yuner's side.
At the call of Xia Xiong, the proud look that could not be hidden on Xia Huo's face also appeared at this moment, and immediately walked out of the queue and came to Xia Xiong.
Xia Yuner was called by the name and came out. Her pace was light and elegant. At this moment, even if her maidservant Xiao Wei was here, she couldn't figure out how her master could be so calm.
This situation undoubtedly makes everyone can't help but believe it. It seems that the two of them are really destined to get married in this unexpected way.
When the two arrived, Xia Xiong said to Xia Huo, "Today, my father has announced the marriage contract of the two of you. As one of the future pillars of our Xia country, you are here to say a few words to end today's rally."
With that, Xia Xiong stepped back and gave them independent space.
The opportunity to display by Xia Xiong was also instantly focused on dozens of people present. In this atmosphere, some young princes and princesses with slightly lower cultivation couldn't help but turn pale. Fortunately, they were not one of the protagonists at this moment, otherwise in case of stage fright, they would be over.
But obviously, their third brother Xia Huo, not only had no stage fright, but was quite calm at this moment. He even glanced over the crowd with a smile on his face and said in a whole voice: "As my father announced, today is the day when Xia Huo and the ninth princess Yun'er announced their engagement. Xia Huo is very grateful for your support, and then, as did the father It is hoped that everyone here should become the pillar of the future of our Xia Kingdom and contribute to the future of Xia Kingdom!"
From the perspective of everyone, Xia Huo's eyes seem to be treated equally at this moment, and there is nothing surprising, but at this moment, from Xia Jiang, you can see that you can also feel from the other party's tone that the other party is obviously aimed at him, and his words are implicitly pointed out.
found this, but Xia Jiang didn't care. Even if he had not claimed for the matter a few days ago, he would never be reconciled with Xia Huo. The relationship between the two was knotted very early.
As Xia Huo's voice fell, everyone's eyes immediately turned to another person.
