After hearing Li Daoqiang's categorical words, some of the immortals and gods relaxed and some frowned.
"The words of the city lord make me ashamed." The Queen Mother raised her hand and said.
To be so decisive seems to be a bit too much for Heaven.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. Just discuss the matter. The alliance between the two families is a matter of great concern, even life and death. Every detail must be explained clearly in advance.
Even if Heaven doesn't mention this, I will.
Including some of my questions about heaven." Li Daoqiang shook his head and said seriously.
"What fellow Taoist said is true. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me." The Queen Mother immediately expressed her position.
Later, Li Daoqiang discussed this matter with the Barefoot Immortal and other immortals, and thoroughly determined, marked, and clarified the relationships between Black Dragon City, Heavenly Court, and Shenting and the obligations that needed to be fulfilled.
After explaining the matter clearly, Li Daoqiang raised questions about some issues in heaven.
For example, will Heavenly Court attack other divine realms in a short period of time?
What is the situation in the surrounding divine realms? What is their strength?
etc.
No one in the heaven felt anything was wrong; instead, they thought it was normal.
Li Daoqiang definitely doesn't want to just form an alliance with them in heaven and then start a fight with the powerful forces in the God Realm.
To this, the Barefoot Immortal is still the one to answer.
Heavenly Court has no intention of attacking other divine realms in the short term, unless other divine realms take the initiative to invade them.
He also told about the situation in the surrounding divine realm.
In the more than ten years since the second heavenly change, it is certainly impossible for Heaven to do nothing.
The most vigorous effort was made to explore information about the surrounding divine realms.
Li Daoqiang listened very carefully.
After a while, I felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, among the three divine realms surrounding the Seventh Princess Heavenly Court, so far, no one has shown that they have supreme strength.
Within two of the divine realms, there are two heavens competing with each other.
In another divine realm, there is only one heaven, but there is no tendency to send troops to invade other divine realms.
In the short term, there is no need to worry about the threats from these three divine realms.
So Li Daoqiang said that this problem can be solved.
Next, after discussing some possible problems in forming an alliance, Li Daoqiang solemnly said: "I have one more request, and I still need your consent."
The Queen Mother felt a little nervous and felt something bad.
But at this time, he couldn't stop Li Daoqiang from speaking, so he had to smile and signal for permission.
"I want to marry the heaven, and I want to marry the princess.
To prove that the two families will become one family from now on, sharing life and death." Li Daoqiang said.
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to the Queen Mother, took the initiative to lower his status and continued: "Although this request is a bit presumptuous, please forgive me for my sincerity."
Sure enough, it came!
The Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun and other immortals were not surprised at all.
It was already expected.
Now it depends on what the empress wants.
The Supreme Lord, the Barefoot Immortal and other gods looked at the Queen Mother, but no one spoke rashly.
The Queen Mother's face remained unchanged, but her heart was a little depressed.
After taking a deep breath, he showed a smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are just joking, how can you be so presumptuous?
However, why does the matter of alliance involve marriage?
This makes me, a mother, feel like I’m trading my daughter’s life-long event.”
As he said that, he bowed slightly and returned the salute, "Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
Decline politely.
The empress chose not to marry.
Taishang Laojun and other immortal gods have different ideas, but they will not stand up to oppose it.
"What are you talking about, your Majesty? It is only natural for parents to love their children." Li Daoqiang raised his hand to express support, frowned and continued calmly:
"I am used to the method of marriage in the human world, and important matters such as forming an alliance with the heaven, so I wanted to make the relationship between the two families closer and stronger, so I raised this matter.
Oh, yes, Li's family has already married many wives, and no parent would ever think of letting their daughter marry Li.
The empress loves her daughter very much, and Li understands that."
Before he finished speaking, the expressions of most of the immortals changed slightly.
Although his tone was not revealed, the anger in Li Daoqiang's words could be heard by all the gods.
I can still understand it.
A great master of the six realms who can rival the Queen Mother, a great hero who has risen from the humble beginnings of the human world.
He was willing to step down a generation from the Queen Mother and ask to marry her daughter, but he was rejected without hesitation. Thinking about it, he should be angry.
Now, the other party may have the thought that Heaven looks down on him, so he won't marry the princess to him.
Thinking of this, the Barefoot Immortal and other gods frowned and looked at the Queen Mother.
"Fellow Taoist, you must not say that. My Taoist friend is extremely talented and rare in the Six Realms. He is more than capable of marrying anyone's daughter.
What's more, I know that every wife in Taoist friend's family is married to a clear matchmaker, and he is sincere to every wife, so he is truly a true man." Queen Mother said quickly and sincerely.
After sighing softly, he continued: "It's just that I only have these seven daughters in my life, and I love them like treasures.
I really don't want to marry them to a strange man without their consent.
Fellow Taoist, I don’t have any other intentions. If I have any blame, I apologize to you.”
After saying that, the Queen Mother stood up and bowed to Li Daoqiang.
Li Daoqiang's eyebrows straightened, he stood up and moved out of the way so as not to receive this courtesy.
I secretly feel a little helpless, this mother-in-law is a bit stubborn.
Why can't the mother-in-law look at her son-in-law and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him?
That sincere tone, and more importantly, the solemn gift, gave him no chance to get angry again.
After all, what he said was true and he even apologized, so what could he do?
You can’t just not marry your daughter to me because you look down on me and don’t form an alliance, right?
That would mean breaking one's face, and even losing one's identity and magnanimity.
Without hesitation, he said sternly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, but I'm taking the liberty to compare my feelings with others. If I have a daughter someday, I will definitely have the same thoughts as your Majesty.
I have given up my request to marry the eldest princess, and please forgive me for my presumption."
The Queen Mother was naturally polite again.
For a time, the tense atmosphere just now relaxed.
It seems that the host and guest have returned to their original state.
After solemnly discussing some details of the alliance again, the Queen Mother and Li Daoqiang unanimously chose to pause and agreed to discuss it again tomorrow.
Li Daoqiang went to rest elsewhere, and there were only a few people left in Lingxiao Palace.
"He still has a grudge in his heart." The Queen Mother exhaled, raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.
Taishang Laojun and other immortals were silent.
Of course they can all see it.
The Queen Mother's words and deeds made Li Daoqiang endure his anger, but that didn't mean that he really had no ideas.
In other words, as long as Heaven does not marry the princess to him, he will definitely have ideas.
He even felt that Heavenly Court was not sincere in its alliance with him.
"Your Majesty, what if you don't want to marry a princess to Lord Li?" an immortal said.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said quietly: "I have decided on this matter, please go down."
"Yes, I will retire."
In the palace of Princess Tiangong.
What happened in Lingxiao Palace quickly spread throughout the entire Tiangong.
Naturally, the princess palace was in an uproar, chattering and making a scene.
"What! Senior Li actually asked his mother to marry him!"
"I knew it, I knew it, Senior Li must have fallen in love with eldest sister."
"I've seen it a long time ago. The last time Senior Li came to our place, he didn't even look away from my eldest sister."
"Sister, what do you think?"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. This is a major matter involving the alliance between two families. Is it a matter between men and women?"
"Sister, don't think too much, my mother has already rejected it and the matter is over."
