Pluto's Golden Apple

"Your Highness, His Majesty sent someone to remind us, we should go there too." Mo Bai had a trace of helplessness on his face, why didn't she know what the princess wanted?

"Okay, I got it." Huanrou's expression was still indifferent. She could understand the empress' difficulties. After all, this disaster was caused by herself. If she really couldn't escape... I'm afraid she could only admit it up.

"Qing'er is back?"

"The fifth princess rushed back at night. Your Majesty's recall order is very urgent this time, and he brought the sixth and seventh princesses back together."

"Princess Six and Princess Seven?" Huanrou frowned. The two younger sisters were 12 and 11, and they were just children.

Mo Bai sighed: "The seven princesses who have reached the age of 10 will all participate in the marriage selection of His Majesty Haidi."

Huanrou felt a little dissatisfied. Everyone knew that this was just a political show. Even if she really chose a relative, she would only choose one of the first five princesses. It was meaningless to call the sixth and seventh princesses. Maybe it still scares them, the two younger sisters have always been timid, and they only have a close relationship with Huanqing.

"Your Highness...?" Mo Bai called out tentatively.

Huanrou looked at Jue Leng on the bed, at this time Jue Leng was still sleeping soundly, last night with Huan Rou's arms, she slept very peacefully.

"Changing clothes. Tell them to let Ming Chu sleep on my bed, and no one should disturb her. She may take some time to recover."

Mo Bai was thinking to himself, when did His Royal Highness Ming Chu and His Royal Highness Princess get so close?This posture, it is obvious that they slept together last night.

Today's hall is decorated in a particularly festive manner.The golden hall was decorated with all kinds of beautiful flowers, which looked less serious than usual, and a little more friendly.

Haidi sits on the left hand side of the emperor, and the seven princesses sit on the right hand side of the emperor.The seven princesses sat down in order according to age.

"Fifth Sister, we're afraid..." Seventh Princess carefully held Huanqing's hand.

The fourth princess Huanbi snorted coldly: "You are all majestic princesses in the heaven, what is there to be afraid of? Whatever you look like, sit down for me."

The two little girls were so frightened that they gulped several mouthfuls of saliva when they were yelled at by the fourth sister. They couldn't figure out why this elder sister and the fifth elder sister looked exactly the same, so why was there such a big difference in personality?

"Okay, don't be afraid, you just come here to play for a while. Opposite is His Majesty Haidi of the sea world. He is quite young and not a bad person."

After Huanqing comforted her, the two younger princesses were relieved.

The emperor was very uncomfortable seeing all this in his seat.She hoped that each of her daughters would be excellent and have the aura of a royal family, but now it seems that there are really not many children who really look like them.

Hai Di was dressed quite heroically today, wearing a blue robe with horned dragons embroidered on it. I don't know if it was because he was choosing a relative for himself, so his face was more joyful and gentle, not as treacherous as usual.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, thanks to His Majesty's care, I have specially held such a festive banquet for my nephew. My nephew's gratitude is beyond words!" Li Kun made a gesture of clapping his hands while speaking.

The Emperor smiled: "Your Majesty Haidi is polite. After all, it is a matter of life, so don't be careless." "Okay, let's go straight to the topic. First, let His Majesty Haidi show us His majesty's martial arts."

Haidi nodded with a smile, stood up, and began to practice magic.

All the princesses nodded and smiled, only the fourth princess, Huanbi, snorted coldly. This kind of trick is not a high-level magical technique, and it is far worse than her own strength.I'm afraid that the sea emperor's magical skills and the scepter can barely fight against him. Thinking of this, Huanbi is a little proud.Today, although I don't know who the Queen Mother is going to promise to Haidi, anyway, I am determined not to marry, how can such a weak Haidi deserve to marry me?

Huanqing was also a little worried.What she was most afraid of was that the Queen Mother wanted to promise her to Haidi in her heart.There has always been an unwritten rule in the Three Realms. No one has stated this rule explicitly, but it seems that everyone tacitly agrees with it.Neither the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Sea, nor the King of Pluto can marry. Once married, the power of the two realms will be too great, and it will easily destroy the balance of the three realms.Therefore, if the empress already had a candidate for the crown prince in her heart, she would definitely not allow her to marry Haidi.In other words, in today's selection of relatives, the one who will be chosen for Haidi will definitely not be the heir of the future heaven.

The eldest sister, Huanyun, and the second sister, Huanxuan, are on par in strength. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they both have their own forces in the court. The third sister understands righteousness and is the most favored by the mother.It should be absolutely impossible for these three people to be selected.The sixth princess and the seventh princess are still young, and they are even less likely to be selected. Only myself and Huanbi are the most likely.But Huanbi's character, I'm afraid she would rather die than surrender, and that's only her... The more Huanqing thinks about it, the more she dares not think about it, she feels that every minute is a torment.

"Okay!" The Emperor clapped his hands and said, "His Majesty Haidi is indeed a young hero. The magical power just now is extremely high. I'm afraid I won't be able to find an opponent in the heavenly court."

Huanbi snorted coldly, the empress's words were already so hypocritical that even Haidi himself couldn't stand it.

"Where is it, His Majesty the Emperor has shown love." Haidi smiled all over his face.

Huanrou sighed in her heart, sometimes she was really envious of the birds flying in the sky, they could do whatever they wanted, no one was restraining them, being a fairy had no choice but to be a fairy.This Haidi is so boring, and his whole body reveals a strong official tone, which makes people very uncomfortable.It's better to feel absolutely cold. As a master of the underworld, he has no airs at all, and he will be generous in social situations, with a hint of mischievousness, without any stale atmosphere.Thinking of this, Huanrou herself was startled, when did she suddenly miss her?But when she thought of hugging her to sleep last night, her body was full of that pleasant fruity aroma, and her face felt a little hot again.

"Since His Majesty Haidi performed first, the princesses should also perform their talents to cheer us up." The emperor was still a little happy at the moment, and the courtiers who attended the meeting were also very happy. Watching the princesses perform their talents is so eye-catching thing.

Jue Leng woke up suddenly, and found that Huan Rou beside her was gone, she called Mo Bai a few times, but no one answered.After she yelled several times, a few maids guarding the palace gate came in from outside.

"How long have I been asleep? Where's Huanrou Mobai?"

"His Royal Highness Mingchu, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mo Bai are attending His Majesty Haidi's relative selection banquet in the main hall." The maid said respectfully.

Too bad, Jue Leng immediately sat up, suddenly realized that he hadn't put on his clothes yet, so he hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover himself.The maid looked a little surprised, but after all, she was from the princess palace, and she had seen the world, so she didn't say much, just lowered her head.

"You go down first, I don't need to serve you, I'll do it myself." Jue Leng's voice was very gentle, and it sounded like his injuries had healed a lot, and he was much stronger than yesterday.

Jue Leng quickly put on his clothes and didn't even bother to take a bath, for fear that if it was later, that nasty Haidi would take Huanrou away.

"His Royal Highness...the marriage selection banquet is being held in the hall..." Two heavenly soldiers guarding the entrance of the hall stopped Jue Leng.

Jue Leng's face darkened: "If I hadn't slept in today, I would usually be with the third princess, and the emperor once allowed me to stay in the place where the third princess stayed, and the third princess is inside, why can't I go in?"

Sure enough, the two heavenly soldiers were still afraid that Ming Chu would make a fuss, so they let go after a little hesitation.

Seeing Jue Leng walk in, the Emperor quietly found a corner and sat down, and even saluted himself, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.This Mingchu is so bold, he dares to break into everywhere, and he doesn't care about those etiquettes.In the future, she will be the king of the underworld, but what is the relationship between the two worlds?

The second princess Huanxuan finished her calligraphy performance and won the applause of the gods. Everyone praised the second princess Bingxue for her cleverness, her quality and her heart, and her good handwriting.The eldest princess Huanyun snorted coldly, how could such a trivial skill compare with her stunning dancing posture just now?

It's Huanrou's turn.Huanrou thought for a while, but didn't know what to perform at the moment, so she simply took out a flute from her sleeve and played it.The sound of the flute was clear and melodious, with a sense of immortality, and it blew into the ears of every fairy. Haidi only felt that he was drunk. Huanrou was dressed in white, as clean as a person walking out of the snow.

Beautiful...beautiful.Jue Leng was also fascinated by the sound of Huanrou's flute. It turned out that the scene in the dream was real. Huanrou really knew how to play the flute, and she played it so melodiously that it touched every chord in her heart.It's a pity that this flute was not played just for me, otherwise, even if I die here, I think it's worth it.Jue Leng thought foolishly, and showed a foolish smile again, Mo Bai not far away saw it and covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

The fourth princess, Huanbi, performed magical arts. She also gave Haidi some face, and chose two directions completely different from Haidi, showing her knowledge and not suppressing Haidi.But Haidi still doesn't like her, she looks pretty, but her facial features are always a bit gloomy, it can be seen that her thoughts are not here at all.

The fifth princess Huanqing danced a dance. Compared with the eldest princess Huanyun, it was a little less imposing, but more pure and dexterous. If Huanyun is a woman exuding a mature atmosphere, Huanqing is a lively and dexterous dancer. girl.

After the performance of the seven princesses in turn, the emperor was obviously very satisfied: "Okay, the seven princesses have their own strengths, I wonder if His Majesty Haidi is still satisfied?"

Haidi laughed: "His Majesty's princesses are indeed so dexterous that no god in the Three Realms can compare to them."

The emperor smiled triumphantly: "Then I don't know, which princess has won the eyes of His Majesty Hai Di?"

Haidi smiled slightly: "The seven princesses are all very beautiful and outstanding. If you want to judge whether they are high or low, my nephew can't choose, but in terms of personal preference, my nephew prefers the melodious sound of the flute of the three princesses. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor can... ··”

The Emperor frowned: "This..." The Emperor thought to himself, his guess was really good, I'm afraid this Li Kun had already thought about it in his heart, and the remaining princesses were nothing more than mere princesses in his eyes. Let's go through the motions.

The emperor didn't know how to solve this situation, and there were many unavoidable things in the royal family, so he turned his head and asked Huanrou: "Rou'er, the emperor heard what His Majesty Hai Di said, and she has a lot of fate with you. I don't know that Rou'er also has intentions ?”

Huanrou has a million reluctances in her heart, but she knows that the other sisters are probably also unwilling. This trouble is caused by herself, and perhaps she is destined to solve it by herself.

Huan Rou got up and knelt on the main hall: "Return to the Queen Mother, Rou'er but obey the Queen Mother's orders."

The Emperor's frown became tighter and tighter. In her heart, she was most reluctant to marry Huanrou to this Haidi, but she knew that Rou'er was always the most sensible. Her original intention was to let Huanrou say that she had no intention of marrying Haidi, so she could do it. It is said that the relationship between children should not be forced, but Huanrou is too considerate of the overall situation, so considerate that she does not embarrass herself... Thinking of this, I feel some dull pain in my heart.

Haidi laughed immediately, thinking that there was still some obstacle, so it seems that Huanrou may also have feelings for him, and it is very lucky to be able to embrace a beautiful woman without any effort.

"Your Majesty, my nephew..." Before Haidi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you can't." The voice aroused the attention of the officials again, and the Emperor couldn't help turning his head.

Jue Leng's voice was not as humble and gentle as before. The voice just now was very firm and a bit cold, giving people the illusion that the king of Hades was speaking.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's your opinion, His Royal Highness?"

Absolutely stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, there are many princesses in the heavenly world, and His Majesty Haidi can choose other excellent princesses, but for Absolutely, there is only one master. His Majesty the Emperor promised Absolutely in the past, let The third princess teaches Jue Leng magic. Now Jue Leng has not yet achieved success in her studies, so she dare not leave the teacher's teaching. If the third princess marries His Majesty Haidi, it will be troublesome to teach Jue Leng in the future, so Jue Leng begs His Majesty the Emperor to let the three The princess should teach Jue Leng some more time. Even if the third princess and His Majesty Haidi really agree, I'm afraid they won't be busy for a year or so, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will help."

Huanrou frowned, this Jue Leng is playing childish temper again.When she thought of what she said to herself yesterday, she guessed a little bit of her thoughts.

Of course Haidi was displeased, but he couldn't refute immediately and lost his temper, it could only depend on the emperor's attitude.

The emperor looked displeased on the surface, but in his heart he felt that this Mingchu had been in the heaven for so long, and this passage was the one she was most satisfied with. She gave Huanrou a wink: "Rou'er, His Royal Highness Mingchu asked for such a request. , what do you think?"

Huanrou looked at Jue Leng, there was a trace of sadness and pleading in her eyes at this moment.Huanrou sighed, although this Jue Leng was messing around a bit, but this tactic of delaying the attack is not impossible.Huanrou said slowly: "I am a minister, but the queen mother is the master."

The emperor secretly smiled, and heaved a sigh of relief, but seeing Haidi like this, even if it could be delayed for a year and a half, he would still betroth Rou'er to him, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow it.

The Emperor pondered for a while, then asked Haidi: "I wonder what His Majesty Haidi wants?"

Of course Haidi disagreed, his smile disappeared, and his voice became a little low: "Your Majesty the Emperor, all the subjects of the Sea Realm are waiting for the widow to return to the Sea Realm to give them an explanation. His Majesty the Emperor has promised me to do my best to meet my request."

The emperor smelled the threat in these words, and she knew that if she didn't give him an answer today, Hai Jie might not be as easy to talk to as before.

Jue Leng's heart was in her throat. At that moment, she was even thinking that if the emperor really wanted to marry Huanrou to Haidi, she would take Huanrou away no matter what. She didn't believe that Huanrou would marry her if she left here. Like the gloomy Haidi, even if Huanrou can't belong to her, she must be happy.

The Emperor smiled slightly: "Since I have agreed to His Majesty Haidi, I should keep my promise. But His Majesty Haidi has also heard that I promised His Highness Ming Chu first, so we must not lose this previous promise. Now we can only let another Only by marrying a princess to His Majesty Haidi can the requirements of the sea and the underworld be met."

Haidi's face changed when he heard these words, and he suddenly regretted what he just said.If he didn't say that, maybe he would have a legitimate reason to marry Huanrou if he waited another year and a half. For Huanrou, he would be willing to wait a year and a half.But when I said that sentence just now, I thought it would force the emperor to make a decision, but I didn't expect it to become what I didn't expect.Li Kun's face was extremely ugly at this time, but he could only suppress his anger, after all, he said what he said just now, and all the gods saw it for all to see.

"Yun'er, you and His Majesty Haidi are the closest in age, and you should have a lot of common topics to talk about. I saw your dance just now, and it was also very good. Over the years, I intend to find a good Xu for you, Hai His majesty is dignified and dignified, which is enough to match your status. I don't know what your majesty Yun'er and Haidi think?" The emperor said with narrowed eyes.

At that moment, Huanyun felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.I wanted to see a good show. Huanrou married Haidi, so the position of emperor must belong to me or Huanxuan. I am confident that I will not lose to Huanxuan. After all, I am still the eldest princess of the emperor. positional advantage.But I didn't expect it to turn out like this... The Queen Mother's words made her lose all hope.Everyone knows that once a person marries Haidi, from now on he can only be the Queen of the Sea, not the honorable Emperor.Unexpectedly, I have worked hard all these years and completed so many arduous and complicated tasks for the empress, and in the eyes of the empress, I am just a tiny pawn.After all, she is still eccentric, protecting Huanrou's.

Huanxuan also found it unbelievable, but after realizing it, he smiled proudly at Huanyun. After so many years of fighting, how could he think that the Queen Mother doesn't have you in her heart at all?

Huanyun thought that smile was very ironic, and she suddenly thought that Huanxuan might not be the final winner either.Doesn't the mother's attitude make it clear that Huanrou is her future successor?Thanks to you, Huanxuan, who still claims to be smart, can't you even see this?Now being a sea empress is at least honorable. If you don't even become an empress, you won't be able to become an emperor in the future. I'm afraid you won't be able to maintain such a glorious life anymore.

Huanyun is mature, he recognized the situation in a very short period of time, and gave up his mind in a very short period of time.

"Mother, my son is willing to listen to Mother's arrangement." Huanyun knelt down and said respectfully.

Although Hai Di's face was ugly, it was hard to get over it if he made it like this.Fortunately, Huanyun's beauty is also good, mainly because of her noble status, and making her the empress of the sea will not hurt Haijie's face.Although I don't like her that much, I don't hate her after all. If I am still not satisfied, I am afraid that I will really provoke trouble with the heavens. In other words, I will only be thankless, and I will be accused of deliberately provoking.

"Since the third princess still has an important mission, I don't want to force it. Everything will be arranged by His Majesty the Emperor."

The emperor showed a smile and seemed very happy: "Okay, okay, it's so good! Then it's settled. Courtesy officer, choose a good day and auspicious day, let the princess marry His Majesty Haidi."

The emperor didn't see Huanyun's complexion getting darker, until it was so white that he didn't even have a trace of blood.The emperor was still immersed in his decisiveness, quick-wittedness and wisdom, so how could he care about Huanyun's thoughts?She really hadn't considered making Huanyun the emperor. Although she had the most aura of her back then, she still liked Huanrou the most in her heart and wanted to pass on the throne to Huanrou.As for not establishing a reserve for so many years, I also have my own little thoughts.

If the reserve was established quickly, how could Huanyun and Huanxuan put so much effort in doing what they told them to do?I'm afraid I've been ashamed for a long time, and asked to go to which fairy island to be free and easy?And since she is in her prime of life, she can slowly bring up Huanrou's political affairs in the future, and let Huanrou bear the status of Tianzhu too early, she is afraid that Huanrou will be under too much pressure.

Parental eccentricity is not terrible. What is terrible is that the emperor is eccentric, which may cause extremely terrifying effects. Of course, this is a later story.

At this moment, Jue Leng just breathed a sigh of relief, Huanrou finally didn't have to marry Haidi.How did she know that if the emperor didn't intend to pass on Huanrou, the emperor would find other excuses to shirk his request.But no matter what the process was, the result was quite satisfying to her.
