Long Xuanjiao was aloft, looking at Hu Xiaotian's appearance, and secretly praised in his heart, this boy is quite talented, no wonder it can make Xiyue die in despair, and said softly: "Flat body, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Hu Xiaotian sat down on the seat assigned to him on the right. Now he could take a good look at Long Xuanjiao, but he saw that although Long Xuanjiao was over forty years old, she looked like she was only about thirty.
Appropriate, graceful and gorgeous, she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young. No wonder she was able to charm her father so much that he took the risk of having an affair with her, which was against the ethics of master and disciple and made her pregnant.
, from this point of view, Hu Buwei is still quite timid. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of himself. His ability in this area is not weak. He has worked hard for several confidants, but he still hasn't seen anything.
It's really a pity for someone to be pregnant.
Long Xuanjiao said: "The Ai family was very worried when they heard that Mr. Hu suddenly disappeared two days ago."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Xiaotian is just walking around to enjoy the beautiful scenery of your country and relieve the depression in his heart."
Long Xuanjiao couldn't help but smile and said, "I wonder what's depressed Mr. Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian said in his heart that these old ladies asked questions knowingly, but since you asked, I am not afraid to make things clear. I just want to see if Hu Buwei has done anything practical for him. If he helps solve the matter, it will be fine. If Hu Buwei
If you go back on your word and dare to let go, then I will reveal the fact that the skull is in your hands, and then we will see who will cause trouble.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Queen Mother should know the purpose of my coming to Tianxiang Kingdom. She is not afraid of the Queen Mother's jokes. Xiaotian has always been full of confidence in herself. This time she came to Tianxiang Kingdom not only because she admired Princess Yingyue, but also because she wanted to deepen her relationship with Tianxiang Kingdom.
We came here with the intention of forming an eternal alliance, but we never imagined that it would end like this, that we are not even qualified to be shortlisted!"
Long Xuanjiao said: "Master Hu, why should you be depressed? It was my precious daughter's idea to choose the prince-in-law. There were as many as ten thousand people who applied, but in the end there was only one guest, not even the Ai family.
I know who Nizi will choose."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since the Queen Mother doesn't know who she will choose in the end, how do you know she won't choose me? Why won't you give me a chance?" This is tantamount to openly questioning Long Xuanjiao's decision.
The eunuch Zhou Desheng said angrily: "How dare you be rude to the Queen Mother!" In fact, the people around the palace could not stand it anymore, and they all thought that Hu Xiaotian was too arrogant.
However, Long Xuanjiao was not angry and said with a smile: "Zhou Desheng, please don't be rude. The Ai family appreciates Xiaotian's outspoken character very much. Hu Xiaotian, in fact, it is natural for you to be selected into the list of 100 people based on your conditions. You know
I wonder why the Ai family crossed out your name?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Queen Mother is far-sighted. Of course, when considering things, she must consider everything."
Long Xuanjiao said: "You don't have to be weird. Are you mocking the Ai family for fear of offending Dakang?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I dare not, but Xiaotian understands the difficulty of the Queen Mother. Princess Yongyang and I had an engagement in the past, and the Queen Mother is from the Dakang royal family, so she must have various taboos in her heart."
Long Xuanjiao said: "Yes, the Aijia has indeed considered this matter. If you are shortlisted, it will always be difficult to explain in terms of face, but the Aijia has thought about it over and over again. If your opportunity is cut off because of this matter,
, you will naturally not be convinced, and it is somewhat unjustifiable in front of the people of the world. The Ai family once said that the selection of the prince-in-law this time must be fair and equitable, how can the people of the world question it because of some scruples? So the Ai family decided to give it to you again
a chance."
When Hu Xiaotian heard what she said, he immediately understood that Hu Buwei must have fulfilled his promise and persuaded Long Xuanjiao to change his decision. Hu Xiaotian did not feel any surprise at all. The relationship between Hu Buwei and Long Xuanjiao facilitated this matter.
It is not difficult. There are still three days before the final selection day, and one day has not been officially selected. There are still variables in this. Hu Xiaotian has also made preparations. If he is successfully selected to become the consort, of course it would be ideal. If something happens midway,
Even if it is a robbery, Long Xiyue must be snatched away.
But what was before him was not only the matter of Long Xiyue, but Murong Feiyan who also had to be taken away, and his grandfather who was in prison. All these matters needed to be resolved before he left Tianxiang Kingdom.
Since Long Xuanjiao was open to him, Hu Xiaotian also had to pretend to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Long Xuanjiao smiled slightly and said: "If Yingyue can finally choose you as the consort, we will be a family from now on, and there is no need to say thank you." She said to Ying Tianhong: "Ying Tianhong, please escort Mr. Hu back.
"
Ying Tianhong took the order.
Hu Xiaotian stood up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he said: "Can you please Queen Mother to remove the Feng Ling Guards outside my residence? Xiaotian has come back, so there is no need to be so strict."
Long Xuanjiao nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, you can just discuss it with Ying Tianhong directly."
Hu Xiaotian and Ying Tianhong left Dexin Palace together, but Long Xuanjiao's face darkened. The eunuch Zhou Desheng came to her and whispered something in her ear. Long Xuanjiao stood up and walked to the harem.
Su Yujin was already waiting there. When she saw Long Xuanjiao coming, she bowed and said, "Queen Mother Jin An!"
Long Xuanjiao stepped forward and held her hand and said: "There are no outsiders here, so why should sister be so polite?"
Su Yujin said: "I heard that the Queen Mother just made an exception and asked Hu Xiaotian to rejoin the election for the consort!"
Long Xuanjiao nodded, sighed softly and said, "I really can't refuse him." He was referring to Hu Buwei.
Su Yujin said: "I suspect that the theft of Qingxuan Temple is related to him."
Long Xuanjiao bit her lip and said: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, he asked me for the skull. According to your wishes, I gave the skull to him. I didn't expect that he could tell at a glance that the skull was a fake!"
Su Yujin said: "So, he must have secretly planned the sneaking into Qingxuan Temple."
Long Xuanjiao was a little confused and asked: "What is the secret of that skull? Why is he so nervous?"
Su Yujin said: "Perhaps we can only know if we send the skull to Wuji Temple. I originally planned to take the skull to the North Country after I left the customs, but I didn't expect that this happened."
Long Xuanjiao said: "There are three days left until the day of selecting the consort."
Su Yujin said: "Such a big thing happened during my retreat this time. It is really unwise for the Queen Mother to mobilize so many people to select the consort." She dared to express her opinions directly in front of Long Xuanjiao, which shows the difference between them.
The relationship was extraordinary, and it also showed Su Yujin's superhuman status in Tianxiang Kingdom. She paused and then said: "Do you think he has never changed? A person can abandon his wife and children, which shows how ruthless this person is.
"
Long Xuanjiao said: "He had no choice but to do so." Only Su Yujin dared to say bad things about Hu Buwei in front of her.
Su Yujin sneered: "I'm afraid you don't even believe it yourself. A man will sell anything for his ambition! He could sacrifice Xu Fengyi and her son in the past, but he may not abandon you now."
Long Xuanjiao bit her lip. Su Yujin's words hit her heart and were her biggest worry. Long Xuanjiao said: "He does have ambitions, but everything he did was for Long Jing."
Su Yujin did not speak, but looked at Long Xuanjiao quietly, her eyes seemed to see through Long Xuanjiao's heart.
Long Xuanjiao was obviously a little uneasy. She turned around and slowly walked towards the window to avoid Su Yujin's gaze.
Su Yujin said behind her: "I heard that someone has had trouble in Tianxiang Kingdom. If something important happens to someone in Tianxiang Kingdom, do you think Tianxiang Kingdom can distance themselves from the relationship?"
Long Xuanjiao said: "Now most people have been eliminated and left, and there are only about a hundred people left."
Su Yujin said: "These more than a hundred people are the top priority, and the rest of the eliminated people are not important at all. I think the more they are left to the end, the greater the trouble will be. If something happens to these people, are you prepared to take all the responsibilities?"
Push it to Dakang? Do you think that you can share the same hatred with the enemy and attack Dakang?"
Long Xuanjiao said: "The great prosperity has been exhausted. Even if we don't occupy it, this land will be divided and eaten by others."
Su Yujin said: "Have you ever thought about why he so actively advised you to deal with Dakang? Is his purpose just to capture the city and seize territory, to expand the territory of Tianxiang Kingdom and help the king become a true overlord?
"?" Su Yujin shook her head and said: "No, I don't think his purpose is like this. Although I can't really understand the secret of that blue skull, there seems to be some kind of magical power in that skull."
Power." At this point, her eyes suddenly became bright.
Long Xuanjiao said: "Now that the selection of the consort has become a fact, I can only do my best to do this well."
Su Yujin said: "You can only rely on yourself for everything. Even the people closest to you cannot fully trust you."
As soon as Hu Xiaotian returned to Cuiyuan, Prince Heldan of Sharjah came over to congratulate him. It turned out that he had already learned that Hu Xiaotian had been included in the candidate list again. Hu Xiaotian secretly thought to himself, who said good things cannot go out and bad things can spread thousands of miles, the world
There is no airtight wall. Heerdan also brought his sister Mengya here this time. Just as the two brothers and sisters arrived, Xu Mubai also came. Xu Mubai didn't know that Hu Xiaotian was a candidate again. He heard about Hu Xiaotian
I came back safely, so I came over to find out.
King Fu Yang Longyue almost arrived at Cuiyuan with Xu Mubai. Before the people here could sit down, King Fu had already arrived.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and invited Prince Fu in: "Prince Fu came just in time, we are just about to have a drink."
Yang Longyue smiled and said: "You don't even call me the king when you drink." He followed Hu Xiaotian to the room and saw that all the people present tonight were acquaintances. Because of Yang Longyue's identity, everyone stood up to greet him.
Yang Longyue invited everyone to sit down and said deliberately: "I thought you were all going to become irreconcilable opponents. I didn't expect that we could sit together and have a drink in private. You guys have extraordinary minds!"
