Oh no, it's the heartbeat of love.
No, it is not..
This is a beautiful girl, but she's probably not older than twelve. It's definitely the "cute" element that dominates Lanna, rather than the "beautiful" element. The reason I had a momentary flash when I saw her was because I remembered the little white Persian cat that I loved to two years before.
It's almost as cute, and you can't help but feel like you want to take her into your arms and pet her head.
I hurriedly put my head down again when His Majesty the King didn't notice.
The king seems to have a good relationship with my father, from what I understand it should be from carrying weapons together in the early years. It is said that when the Lord of Cangzhou rebelled, my father served the crown and fought alongside the present King. So they have good relationship.
Wouldn't it be beautiful if you helped me put down the rebellion and I gave you my daughter?
A beautiful story for the ages.
It's just not very friendly to me!
When we arrived at the lord's residence, my father had prepared wine and food early.
The king's majesty was naturally seated at the top, with two rows of tables on the left and right below. The young princess and other guests from the royal family sat on the left, and my mother, my brother, and I, us locals from the Yunyang territory, sat on the right.
With the little princess Lanna and my brother sitting at the first table on the left and right, respectively.
My brother was much calmer at this time, and after the elders finished talking, my brother raised his glass, bowed deeply to Lanna, and said:
"Your Highness, I am the eldest son of the Lord of Yunyang, Liyi. I heard a long time ago that Lord Princess is talented and beautiful, and today's meeting is a blessing in my life,. I would like to drink a toast to the princess, wishing her eternal youth and beauty!"
My father stroked his beard and laughed.
His Majesty the King was also smiling.
Lanna, on the other hand, could not see the sadness and happiness. Although the corners of her mouth were raised, there was not much laughter in her eyes.
It's my turn to perform!
As soon as my brother sat down, I immediately chanted in a voice that everyone could hear:
"There is no such thing as eternal youth, the princess is young and beautiful, and there are countless people who love her. Alas for those who first abused and in the end gave up, they only love for a outlook."
Yes this is so called--talk-backer
My brother's expression was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he hurriedly raised his glass cup to Princess Lanna and said:
"Your Highness, I have no such intention. I am always your most loyal admirer, no matter how you look, Princess."
My father laughed even more.
He glared at me, and then said to His Majesty, who was sitting high on the throne,
"This boy Liyi is not a good talker, but he has the advantage of being honest. This heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, there is no falsehood."
His Majesty the King nodded and turned his anger into joy.
My brother had just sat down, and I saw that he was relieved, smiled slightly, and trailed off again:
"Alas. I've heard that when men and women fall in love in the world, there must be a reason for it. The two of you have only just met and don't know each other, and you haven't even spoken to each other. That must love is nothing more than a 'princess' identity. It is even worse than those who love only the outside..."
My brother's face turned red.
What's the point?
It's not like you can rush up and hit me, can't you still kill me with your eyes.
By this time my father had not had time to remedy the situation, and His Majesty the King had turned to me and asked coldly:
"What is your name?"
Yes, that's what I was waiting for.
I stood up, went straight out from the dining table, half-kneeled down and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, my name is Lieder, I am the fourth son of Lord Yunyang, and one of the only two candidates in the competition for the inherit son at present. This year, I am seventeen years old, because I can't bear to see Her Highness deep in the mud, this is why I am so righteous, please be clear, Your Majesty!"
I heard a click and knew it was my father's wine glass that had fallen.
After I finished, I stole my eyes to the king, and I saw that his face was more puzzled and strange than angry, and that the emotion was not directed at me, but at my father.
Simply, in the eyes of His Majesty the King, my brother is the inherit son, the heir of the Lord of Yunyang.
That's why he had the intention to marry his daughter to my brother.
But now that he has heard that my brother is not yet the inheritor, and that I am a contender for the inheritor, he hesitates.
After all, my father couldn't tell everyone in public that "Comrade Lieder was sacrificed by me, and I had already decided that Liyi would succeed me". He can’t put this words on the table now.
At this point, Princess Lanna giggled and said,
"I think he's right. We just met, and you don't like my looks, so what do you like about me?"
My brother didn't know what to say.
Alas, young people need more exercise. Such a small scene does not know how to answer, how to complete the big bussiness? At your level, you're gonna have to get crushed by a little princess
For the sake of our brotherhood, I'm going to help you get rid of this marriage.
Don't thank me too much.
I felt like I couldn't stop laughing and hurriedly lowered my head.
At this moment, the king suddenly said to me coldly:
"Lieder, what is the reason for you to set up your brother repeatedly, with the intention of destroying the marriage set by the king? Could it be that you want to use this king's hand to clear your brother for you?!"
Holy shit, this old man has a clear mind.
