Anyone who has studied history should knows that if a dynasty is strong at the local level, the central government is unstable.
The system of feudalism is harmful.
Thirty-six lords of the Yongtian country have taken most of the country's territory, and the royal family is left as a flag. The king of the kingdom now has to personally bring the young princess to his door just to marry her to the son of a lord.
Of course, it's not that the lords are that powerful. The royal family had to resort to some pulling and suppressing tactics in order to divide the lords. The king's heart is to draw us in.
My father didn't dare to be out of manner. It was his good fortune that the royal family chose to draw him in, otherwise there would have been many people who wanted to marry the young princess. The king came over to him and called it a courtesy to the virtuous, a good story for the ages. If my dad doesn’ take this, he will be really unforgiving. The king will take the princess away, and my father will have no place to cry.
So in my opinion, this is a really big deal.
The north gate of Lingyun City, where we live, was opened wide, and the main road was evacuated three days in advance, with no horse-drawn carriages allowed. The road is covered with red paper, and the city buildings on both sides are hung high with red lanterns.
My father took my older brother and me and my little brothers out to meet them in person.
The king is even more impressive!
Six flying dragons carrying a golden car slowly flew in from the sky. If you didn't look closely, you'd think the king had dismantled his palace and put it on the dragon's back. Not to mention inlaid with gold and jade, expensive agate and ruby is not stingy, almost wish to put the word "rich" on the face.
My brother was the most excited.
This man is a nervous wreck, pretending to be fine when he is so excited. Sitting in the carriage with his hands folded, and trembling all over, he saw me look at him, and coughed deliberately, and said:
‘’My dear brother, have you ever seen such a magnificent dragon chariot? How much better than those little children's wagons you usually ride in? If you wish to sit down, I can speak to the Princess and let you sit for a while on it."
You're too quick to show your villainous face!
Do you know that people like you usually don't survive more than three episodes?
Big brother Liyi said calmly:
"My brother, it is said that Princess Lanna is loved by His Majesty the King and has the beauty of a celestial being, and she knows everything about chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting. I seem to be living in a dream, why the heavens only favored my brother, but refused to share a little bit of this luck with you? Yes, it's my fault for being too good, it can't be helped. Brother, the ancients said gods help those who help themselves, why you don't know learn from me?"
Wait, this guy doesn't seem to have the same face as the average villain.
He, he's really good at narcissism holy shit!!!
That's not even your wife, is it worth boasting like this?
What's so great about a royal daughter, her status is a cut above us lords. Can you hold it when she lose her temper?
At least this I do not envy, in my opinion, the good and obedient Alea, is better than any princess.
Don't you believe you can have the princess on my side, watching me becom a loser for five years?
She would have strangled me already, right?
I didn't fight with my brother either, but cast a sympathetic glance at him.
The boy probably doesn't know that if he passes today, it's not clear whether he'll be able to marry the princess.
I was making up my mind there, when my father had called out from afar:
"Liyi, Lieder. come out and greet His Majesty and Her Highness with me."
My brother gave his horse a shake of the reins and shouted in response:
"Yes!"
I also dutifully rode over.
The dragon carriage landed five hundred meters outside the city, and the two mahogany gates opened leisurely.
My father and brother got off their horses early and half knelt on the ground. I had to do the same because this is the king.
That's when I heard an old voice ring out:
"Come, Nana, be good, the king will carry you down."
Then came a series of silvery voices:
"Well~~ fly high~~"
I quietly raised my head a bit and saw an old man in a red robe, holding a little girl's armpit with both hands, and carrying her down. That little girl was probably Princess Lanna, and just looking at her gave me a feeling that my heart was racing.
Though I'm not envious I said, I'm really envious of my brother!
After all, this is probably the first time I've seen such a cute little girl.
The little princess Lanna, with her cloudy hair, blinked her dark blue eyes and looked at me curiously.
