It doesn't matter what the lord is.

There's no way, frankly speaking, Alayya is a fool.

Rather, I am a fool to swear allegiance to a young master like me who walks his birds and fights his dogs every day, right?

However, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. Fools like this are a rare species. Naturally, I don't want her to die.

"Well, how about trying to make the Lord angry?"

Alayya made another suggestion and explained:

"The Lord wants the young master to compete with Lord Li Yi for the position of the Crown Prince. If the young master's evaluation in everyone's eyes becomes lower, will the Lord change his mind?"

Ugh.

This girl still doesn't understand the current situation.

I shook my head, smiled bitterly and said:

"My father doesn't really want me to fight for this position. Although he pretends to be like this, in his heart, the only one who can be the crown prince is my elder brother. I am just a stumbling block. My father doesn't care whether this stone is dug from the mountain or picked up from the toilet. Anyway, it is destined to be cleared away by my elder brother. And only by clearing me away can my elder brother truly mature and sit firmly on the position of the Lord of Yunyang. So no matter how much noise I make, my father won't care."

Alayya frowned, thinking hard.

Forget it. I just wanted to explain the situation to her. I still have to come up with the plan myself.

At this moment, Alayya suddenly realized something and said:

"In that case, why not ask the King for mercy?"

"Your Majesty the King?"

I asked with some surprise.

Alaiya nodded, looking like she had come up with a good idea, and said happily:

"I heard that His Majesty the King intends to marry the little Princess Lana to Lord Li Yi. He should bring the princess here in person in a few days. Young Master, you can try to plead with His Majesty the King and ask His Majesty to order you to give a fiefdom. The Lord dare not disobey His Majesty."

Hmm... sounds like that's fine.

But why would Your Majesty do me this favor?

I looked at Alayya and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy. How could this child be so stupid at such a young age?

Could it be that she has big breasts but no brains...they're not that big.

If the king betroths the princess to my brother, then we would be in the same boat. Would he care about my life or death?

Maybe when my brother chops off my head, he will still be drinking and dancing beside me. Or maybe he will just do me a favor and do me for my brother. When they are having their wedding night, my brother will ask the little princess:

"Where's my brother?"

The little princess will surely sing with great emotion:

"My dad just killed him."

A pair of dog lovers have lived a shameless life since then, congratulations, congratulations - bullshit! !

Why are things going so wrong? ?

And my brother is a bit too much, he is more handsome than me, more talented than me, and now he wants to marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman and reach the peak of his life. You can go your own way, but you have to leave me with no way to go. If I were not a time traveler, I would really die here.

But the king is coming with the little princess...

Ok.

It seems like we can take advantage of this.

I waved to Alayya and asked her to come closer to me. I whispered in her ear:

"I have an idea. Go prepare some things..."

My father wants to be treated as the duck for the tiger to prey on.

Then let’s call this project “Angry Duck”.

3. The target appears, ready to take action

Anyone who has studied history knows that if the local governments of a dynasty become strong, the central government will be unstable.

The feudal system is harmful to people.

The thirty-six lords of Yongtian Kingdom divided up most of the country's territory, and the royal family was only left with a banner. For example, now, the king actually wanted to bring the little princess to the door in person, just to betroth her to the son of a lord.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the lords are so powerful. In order to divide the lords, the royal family must adopt some tactics of winning over and suppressing them. It can be seen that the royal family has the intention of winning over Yunyang.

My father did not dare to neglect him. It was a blessing for him that the royal family chose to win him over. Otherwise, there would be many people who wanted to marry the little princess. The king came to him, which was called respecting the wise and humble, and it was a good story for ages. If he continued to act arrogantly, he would be punished. When the king left with the little princess, my father would have no place to cry.

So in my opinion, this time it is really a grand event.

The north gate of Lingyun City, where we live, was opened wide, and all people on the main road were evacuated three days in advance, and carriages were not allowed to pass. The road was covered with red paper, and big red lanterns were hung high on the towers on both sides.

My father took my eldest brother, me, and several of my younger brothers out to greet us personally.

The king has more pomp and circumstance!

Six flying dragons carrying a magnificent carriage came slowly from the sky. If you didn't look carefully, you would think the king had dismantled his palace and put it on the dragon's back. Not only was it inlaid with gold and jade, but also with expensive purple agate and rubies. It was as if he wanted to write the word "rich" on his face.

The most excited one was my brother.

This man was like a lunatic. He was so excited that he pretended to be fine. He sat in the carriage with his hands clasped together, but his whole body was shaking. When he saw me looking at him, he coughed deliberately and said:

"My dear brother, have you ever seen such a magnificent dragon carriage? It is much better than those carriages you usually ride in. If you want to ride in one, I can also talk to the princess and show you around."

You showed your true colors too quickly! !

Did you know that people like you usually don’t survive more than three episodes?

Brother Li Yi pretended to be calm and said:

"My dear brother, it is said that Princess Lana is deeply loved by His Majesty the King. She is beautiful and proficient in music, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting. She is really a rare and virtuous wife! I feel like I am living in a dream. Why does the heaven only favor me and not you? Yes, it's all because I am too good. There is nothing I can do about it. My dear brother, I am not saying anything bad to you. As the ancients said, God helps those who help themselves. Why don't you learn from me?"

Wait, this person seems to look different from the average villain.

He, he is so narcissistic, damn! !

She is your wife, is she worthy of you bragging about her like this?

What's so good about being a daughter of a royal family? Her status is higher than that of us lords. When the eldest daughter gets angry, can you suppress her? At least I don't envy her. In my opinion, the well-behaved and obedient Alayya is much better than any other princess.

If you don't believe me, why don't you let the princess stay by my side and watch me eat free meals for five years?

She would have strangled me to death a long time ago.

I didn't argue with my brother, but instead gave him a sympathetic glance.

The child probably doesn't know yet that it's hard to say whether he can marry the princess after today.

I was thinking secretly there when my father called out from a distance:

"Li Yi, Li De. Come out with me to greet His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Princess."

My brother pulled the reins and shouted:

"Yes!"

I also rode over obediently.

The dragon carriage landed 500 meters outside the city, and the two red wooden doors slowly opened. My father and brother had already dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, and I had to do the same, because the emperor was inside.

At this time, an old voice was heard:

"Come on, Nana, be good. I will carry you down."

Then came a series of silver bell-like voices:

"Hmm~~Fly high~~"

I quietly raised my head and saw an old man in a red robe holding a little girl by her armpits and holding her down. The little girl was probably Princess Lana. I felt my heart beating faster at the first sight of her.

Although I say “I don’t envy you” and “I don’t envy you”, I really do envy my brother a little bit!!

After all, this is probably the first time for me to see such a cute little loli.

The little Princess Lana, with her hair in a bun, blinked her deep blue eyes and looked at me curiously.

4. My future sister-in-law is gone

Oops, it's a heart-pounding feeling——

Weird.

Although she is a real beauty, she is probably no older than twelve years old. Compared to the concept of "beautiful and charming", Lana is definitely more "cute". The moment I saw her, my heart was moved for a moment because I remembered the little white Persian cat that I was attracted to two years ago.

She's almost as cute, and one can't help but want to hold her in his arms and pat her head.

While His Majesty the King didn't notice, I quickly lowered my head again.

The king seems to have a good relationship with my father. As far as I know, it should be because they fought together in the early years. The gun refers to the long spear among cold weapons. It is said that when the lord of Cangzhou rebelled, my father was loyal to the royal family and fought side by side with the current king.

One of the four irons of life.

You help me quell the rebellion and I'll give you my daughter. Isn't that great?

How beautiful! It will be a story that will be passed down through the ages.

It’s just not very friendly to me!

When we arrived at the lord's mansion, my father had already prepared delicious food and wine. His Majesty the King naturally sat at the top seat, and there were two rows of tables below. The little princess and other guests from the royal family sat on the left, and my mother, my brother, and I, the locals of Yunyang Territory, sat on the right.

The little princess Lana and my brother sat at the first table on the left and right sides respectively.

My brother calmed down a lot at this time. After the elders finished speaking, my brother raised his glass, bowed deeply to Lana, and said:

"Your Highness, I am Li Yi, the eldest son of Lord Yunyang. I have heard long ago that the princess is both talented and beautiful. It is my great honor to meet you today. I offer a toast to the princess and wish her eternal youth, beauty and health!"

My father stroked his beard and smiled.

His Majesty the King also smiled.

Lana didn't look sad or happy. Although the corners of her mouth were raised, there was not much smile in her eyes.

It's my turn to perform!

As soon as my brother sat down, I immediately muttered in a voice that everyone could hear:

"There is no such thing as eternal youth in the world. Princess is young now, with beautiful face and beautiful figure. Naturally, there are countless people who love you. It's a pity that those who abandon you after having sex with you only love your appearance."

That’s right, this is the legendary... argumentative person!

My brother looked as if he had eaten a fly, and he quickly raised his glass and said to Princess Lana:

"Your Highness, please understand that I have absolutely no such intention. No matter how Your Highness looks, I will always be your most loyal admirer."

My dad laughed even more happily.

He glared at me, then bowed to the king who was sitting high up on the throne and said:

"Li Yi is not good at speaking, but he has one good thing: he is honest. His heart is known by the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

His Majesty the King nodded and his anger turned into joy.

My brother just sat down. I saw him breathe a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and said in a long tone:

"Alas. I heard that there must be a reason for a man and a woman to fall in love. You two have just met, you don't know each other, and you haven't even spoken to each other. Since you are not in love with your appearance, then you must be in love with your identity as a 'princess'. You are really worse than those who only love the appearance..."

My brother's face turned red.

what's the point?

You can't rush up to hit me, but can you kill me with just your eyes?

Before my father could remedy the situation, His Majesty the King turned to me and asked coldly:

"what's your name?"

Okay, that's what I've been waiting for.

I stood up, stepped out from the table, half-knelt down, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, my name is Li De, the fourth son of the Lord of Yunyang, and one of the only two candidates currently competing for the title of Crown Prince. I am seventeen years old this year. I couldn't bear to see Her Royal Highness the Princess sink into the quagmire, so I killed my own relatives for the sake of justice. Please understand, Your Majesty!"

I heard a click and knew it was my father's wine glass that fell.

After saying that, I glanced at the king and saw that besides anger, there was more confusion and surprise on his face. And that emotion was not directed at me, but at my father.

It’s very simple. In the eyes of His Majesty the King, my brother is the Crown Prince and the heir to Lord Yunyang.
