In the elegant small room, two people were looking at each other. Their eyes were extremely serious, but they were not talking about love, but they were talking about national affairs that ordinary people could not discuss.
Of these two men, one is the great prince of this great empire, and the other is the fastest-rising count in this great empire. No one thinks that these two men cannot have a huge impact on this empire, because they both have different personalities.
Identity and status.
Looking at Wang Zicheng's sincere eyes, Gou Dian knew that this was Wang Zicheng extending an olive branch to him, and this was not the first time. Even so, Gou Dian was still hesitant. If it had been in the past, Gou Dian might have refused, after all.
He didn't want to get involved in the prince's previous struggle, but now this seemed to be his only chance to get the colorful holy lotus seeds, and he had to agree. Although Gongsun Cheng didn't say it explicitly, Gongsun Cheng revealed a message between the lines: as long as he is willing to stand by Gongsun Cheng
Cheng's side, then Gongsun Cheng would be willing to hand over the colorful holy lotus seeds in Ku Lei's dowry to him.
Wang Zicheng still had a faint scholarly air about him as before, and his eyes were as sincere as before, making Goudian feel his sincerity and determination more clearly.
In the small elegant room, a green tea stem stood up in the cup of fragrant tea with a slight white aroma on the exquisite Kui wood table, causing a few ripples.
Gou Dian took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, bowed solemnly to Gongsun Cheng, and then finally said, "In that case, I will leave everything to His Highness the Prince."
When the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy! Although Gou Dian did not say it explicitly, he had secretly pointed out that he was willing to stand on his side. Although Gou Dian was originally his friend, but friends are friends, and friends are
It does not mean that he will definitely help him win the throne. But now Goudian's promise is obviously like a reassuring needle for the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng, making him feel extremely at ease for some reason.
Naturally, Wang Zicheng did not know about Gou Dian's identity as an "Earth Shadow", and it was impossible for Gou Dian to take the initiative to tell him this fact. However, Emperor Great Britain did not say that as an "Earth Shadow" he could not support any prince, so Gou Dian could not support any prince.
Dian agreed to the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng without much burden. He just thought it was too troublesome to get involved in the dispute between the princes, so he didn't agree to the eldest prince's request before.
Gongsun Cheng was very happy about this and hurriedly said: "Since I agreed to your request, Brother Gou, then after the engagement ceremony between me and Ku Lei, I will secretly take out the five-color holy lotus seeds and give them to you. Those five-color holy lotus seeds at that time
It's all mine, I believe no one will say anything if I take it out early. I invite Brother Gou to attend the engagement ceremony, and it will definitely be more lively then."
"Definitely!" Gou Dian cupped his hands and said with a smile. He didn't know if there was any relationship between Gongsun Cheng and Ku Lei, but it had nothing to do with him. Even if there was no relationship in the first place, the relationship between the two could slowly grow.
Cultivate. He also knows that Wang Zicheng is not an impatient person. If Wang Zicheng and Ku Lei really get married, Wang Zicheng will respect Ku Lei's opinion and wait until the right time to have a wedding with Ku Lei.
, as long as you understand this, it is enough. There are not many things that make two people happy in this world. Political marriages are quite common in the beast monster continent, and the relationship between Gongsun Cheng and Ku Lei
A marriage is just one of them. All Goudian can do is to express his sincere blessings to these friends.
…
Three days later.
The autumn wind blows, and the trees on both sides of the road begin to shed their leaves slightly.
In such weather, many red lanterns were hung in many places on the streets of the Emperor City. This is because on this day, there will be a ceremony for the great prince Gongsun Cheng of the Great Britain Empire and the eldest daughter of the Ku family of the Principality of Tianshen, Ku.
Lei's engagement ceremony.
This engagement is not a simple marriage. The keen nobles can learn through various channels that after the fish-man empire and the Great Britian Empire negotiated peace, the royal family of the Great Britian Empire has become stronger than before.
It weakened a lot when it was prosperous. At this time, the royal family of the Great Britain Empire needed the support of others. For example, the Ku family, one of the twelve ancient beast soul families, was obviously a good choice. And marriage, just
It is just a small means to achieve the goal, just like when the Ji family was eager to marry the Su family (the marriage contract between Ji Yuntong and Su Qing) and the Ji family was busy getting involved with Gong Zhongtian (Ji Yuntong and Su Qing)
Min's engagement with Gong Zhongtian's disciples) are the same.
If it is the military personnel stationed at the border, then they can also notice something different from the past, because they can find that the exchanges between the Great Britain and the other nine great empires have become more frequent recently. The soldiers stationed at the border
Soldiers could find foreign envoys coming to see Emperor Great Britain, and people from other countries wearing foreign clothes began to appear in megacities. These contained some disturbing information.
If they are nobles with a certain status in the empire, then they can sort out their clues more easily than ordinary people and discover one thing, that is, the competition of the top ten rising stars of the empire, which is held once in decades, is about to begin!
The Ten Empire Rising Star Competition is actually a secret confrontation between the ten empires on the Trolloma continent. Large-scale battles between empires do not happen easily, because every time such a war breaks out, it will cause
The empire brought a large number of casualties, which was not conducive to the development of the empire. Under this situation, a smaller version of the confrontation between the empires emerged. This is the competition between the top ten rising stars of the empire that is held once in decades.
The reason why it is a Rising Star Competition is because everyone’s life will pass. The strength of an empire is not only reflected in the present, but also in the future. If the younger generation of an empire performs extremely well, then this will also be reflected in the future.
One aspect shows the strength of this empire (or its future strength), and this alone is enough to attract the attention of the ten major empires.
In addition to the meaning of the Ten Rising Stars of Empires Competition, another equally important point is that the performance of each empire through this competition will determine the ratio of trade tariffs between countries, which is important for each empire.
It is a very attractive development condition.
In the eyes of Emperor Great Britain, the Great Competition of the Ten Rising Stars of the Empire is just around the corner. Under this situation, he must ensure that this empire is still strong in the eyes of other empires, otherwise the Great Empire of Great Britain may not even be able to participate in the Ten Rising Stars of the Empire.
They didn't even have the qualifications to compete, and were even directly cannibalized by other empires. Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Great Britain, the marriage between the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng and the eldest daughter of the Ku family, Ku Lei, was very important.
In fact, in order to maintain the rule of the royal family of the Great Britain Empire, Emperor Great Britain once thought of marrying off the sixth princess Gongsun Yong, but after all, the sixth princess Gongsun Yong was always the most beloved daughter of Emperor Great Britain.
Gongsun Yong was still too young, so Emperor Great Britain finally gave up the idea. If Gongsun Yong knew that she almost became a tool for political marriage this season, she would probably break out in a cold sweat.
Not to mention anything else, at this moment, in the large square in front of the Imperial Palace, the engagement ceremony between Ku Lei and Gong Sun Cheng was going on in an orderly manner.
The engagement scene was very lively. Although I don’t know why the engagement ceremony of the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng and Ku Lei was held in this place, it did not make the engagement ceremony any worse. On the contrary, the surrounding people were more enthusiastic.
Any time, as if being able to witness the engagement ceremony of the eldest prince of their country was such a great event.
Despite this, there were no more than 500 people who could actually enter the main square to witness the engagement between the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng and Ku Lei, and these 500 people included Gou Dian, Yang Feng'er and others, as well as
Including many members of the aristocracy. The arrival of these aristocratic members was basically a statement of attitude towards the eldest prince. Judging from the number of people, it was known that the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng was indeed very popular among the people.
At the same time, the third prince Gongsun Ni, the second prince Gongsun Ying, the fifth prince Gongsun Tian and other royal family members also attended the engagement ceremony. The Great Emperor of Great Britain had not yet arrived. At this busy time of national affairs, his great empire
The monarch may not have time to attend his son's engagement ceremony, but the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng doesn't care about it, because in his opinion, this country should be put first.
On this day, Ku Lei was wearing a very beautiful palace dress, and she looked more dignified and elegant than usual. However, her childlike and ruthless short figure did not change much from when she met Gou Dian.
, which made Wang Zicheng a little embarrassed, fearing that he would be considered as forcing a girl into prostitution.
Gou Dian chuckled and said: "You have such a petite figure, tsk tsk..." Although the words did not have much teasing meaning, the meaning in them already made Ku Lei both embarrassed and angry. In fact, Ku Lei was
She is like a little sister among everyone. Being able to witness this day, anyone who knows her well will never want to miss it.
When everyone heard what Gou Dian said, they just smiled and understood. If they didn't know that they were good friends, I'm afraid Gou Dian would have been asked to leave this big square directly.
"His Majesty the Great has arrived!" Suddenly, a voice sounded.
The venue suddenly became silent. Although today was the engagement ceremony of the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng, it was just an engagement after all. Not many people would have thought that the Great Emperor would actually be in place.
"Could this be a sign that His Majesty is beginning to favor the eldest prince?" Some nobles began to speculate. However, no one would speculate on the holy intention. They just quietly gave way and waited for the arrival of the Great Emperor. That's all.
