It doesn't matter what the lord is.

That's why he wanted to marry his daughter to my brother.

But now that he heard that my brother was not yet the crown prince and that I was also a contender for the title, he hesitated.

After all, my father would never tell everyone in such a public occasion, "Comrade Li De was sacrificed by me, and in fact, I had already appointed Li Yi to succeed me." Such heartless words. Some things can be done casually under the table, but they cannot be brought to the surface.

At this moment, the little Princess Lana giggled and said:

"I think what he said is quite right. We just met, and you don't like my appearance, so what do you like about me?"

My brother suddenly didn't know what to say.

Alas, young man, you still need to practice more. I don't know how to answer such a small situation, how to complete the task of picking up girls? ? With your level, you will be overwhelmed by the little princess in the future.

Since we are brothers, I will reluctantly help you break up this marriage.

Don't thank me too much.

I felt like I couldn't hold back my smile, so I quickly lowered my head.

At this moment, His Majesty the King suddenly said to me coldly:

"Li De, you repeatedly framed your brother and tried to ruin the marriage that I had arranged. What's the reason? Are you trying to use me to get rid of your brother for you?!"

Damn, how does this old guy know everything?

5. Please kick me out as soon as possible

"Don't think that I'm really confused. This is the first time Li Yi met Lana, and it was also the first time you met me. If Li Yi has no reason to like my daughter, then what reason do you have to help me? Can't bear to see my daughter fall into the mud? Haha, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The king took a sip of wine and spoke leisurely.

It's messed up, it's messed up...

I couldn't help but feel strange.

You say this king is stupid, but he doesn't seem to be stupid, he is very smart. But if you say he is smart, would a smart king marry his daughter who is less than twelve years old to a weird uncle who is twenty-five years old? ?

In our country, the minimum sentence would be three years and the maximum penalty would be death penalty.

The king said slowly:

"You are trying to sow discord, which is a serious crime. But I will give you a chance. If you can prove that you ruined the marriage not to weaken your brother's power, but for my daughter, I will spare your life. How about it?"

I rely on.

I was wrong. You are all biased towards my brother. It seems that you are really wearing the same underwear.

Unfortunately, this was already in my calculations...

I slowly stood up, walked to Lana, and looked at the little girl who had just reached my chest.

Her eyes were clear and spotless, just like the blue water of a lake.

I gazed at her affectionately, then slowly knelt down on one knee, held up one of her hands, and said solemnly:

"I have been secretly in love with Her Royal Highness the Princess for many years."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

My father spit out a mouthful of wine, and Brother Li Yi smashed his wine glass and cursed:

"Bullshit! This is also your first time meeting the princess, okay?!"

I snapped my fingers and said loudly:

"Alaiya!"

Alayya, who had been waiting outside the hall, walked in carrying a thick scroll.

I said slowly:

"These are the poems I couldn't help but write down whenever I missed Princess Lana. I also couldn't help but copy a portrait of Princess Lana that I saw that year. I have to admit that I did fall in love with the Princess Lana in the painting at first, and I loved your appearance. But I swear, in the years to come, I will accompany you until the end of time, until death separates us."

This is an extraordinary performance!!

Fortunately, Princess Lana is cute and well-behaved. If a big and strong female man stood in front of me, I am afraid I would not be able to perform to such an effect.

Lana blinked her big eyes, gently picked up the scroll from the tray and unfolded it. It was indeed her portrait, and the paper was indeed from a few years ago, and had turned slightly yellow.

There is also a very appropriate poem on the side:

The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze is blowing the threshold, and the dew is thick. If we hadn't seen him at the top of Qunyu Mountain, he would have met at Yaotai under the moon.

Her eyes were a little moist.

I know that through this painting, she must have seen a love-struck shadow who lost his appetite every day staring at her portrait.

Unfortunately, I drew the painting while picking my feet the night before yesterday, and the poem was written by Li Bai to Ms. Yang Yuhuan. As for the slightly yellowed paper, I used a special method to make it look old.

She looked at me intently and asked:

"You really like me?"

I nodded against my conscience:

"I swear it's true."

I really like it! I like it the way I like little Persian cats.

Lana took a deep breath and said to His Majesty the King:

"Father, I don't want to marry Li Yi anymore."

Awesome!

This is the representative figure of royal women in the new era.

If you dare to pursue free love and dare to resist your parents' orders, in time, you will surely be the undisputed standard-bearer of the banner of feminism in the other world.

I couldn't help but cheer for her in my heart, and then I heard the thunderous roar of His Majesty the King:

"How dare you! When will it be your turn to make the decision on marriage? And you, Lide. You are so slick and eloquent that you have deceived my daughter. Lord Yunyang, it's not that I don't give you face, but a son like this is not worthy of inheriting the position of lord. Otherwise, with his mouth, I don't know how much trouble he will stir up in the future! Normally, I shouldn't care about your family affairs, but since this kid is so rude to my daughter, I can't let him bully me. This crime is not big, but it's not small enough to sentence him to death, but I don't want to see him inherit the position of Lord Yunyang."

Okay, that’s what I’ve been waiting for!

If I could trick a princess into marrying me with just a few words, I would have been living a professional gigolo life long ago.

It is impossible for the king to marry the princess to me, so he can only punish me.

But it is unlikely that I would be beheaded for a crime like molesting the princess, so the best way for him to vent his anger is to deprive me of my right to succeed to the throne.

But this is what I've been waiting for!

If I stay with my elder brother, I will become a victim of the struggle. Only by leaving can I have a way to survive.

I put on a sad face and said with gritted teeth:

"His Majesty……"

The king didn't look at me at all, but stared at my father and said slowly:

"Lord Yunyang, are you in some trouble?"

My father's glass of wine was half spilled, and he forced a smile and replied:

"No, it's not a problem. Since His Majesty has spoken, I will give him a piece of land tomorrow and ask him to leave the city obediently."

I almost laughed out loud.

The only one who felt a little sorry was the little Princess Lana. She looked at His Majesty the King hatefully and ran out crying.

"Father is a bad guy! Don't pay any attention to him anymore~~"

6. Something seems wrong

The next morning, I took Alayya to attend the farewell ceremony for the king.

When people are happy, they are in high spirits. I just pretended not to see the two sullen faces of my father and my brother. Anyway, I will be going to my fiefdom to be the lord of happiness soon. By then, we won't see each other for several years. I will just treat you as a turbid gas in my stomach and let you go gently.

What I never expected was that when we said goodbye, the king held my hand and said with a fake smile:

"Li De, my daughter likes you very much, but in my position, I can't marry my daughter to you. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of your elder brother Li Yi? How can I be worthy of your father? However, I have to consider Nana's feelings, so I decided to marry Nana to Yunyang Territory in five years, to marry... the next successor of the Yunyang Lord. Come on, Li De, I am very optimistic about you."

I was stunned at that time.

Logically speaking, I should be filled with gratitude, kneeling before His Majesty the King, and giving him an 800-word on-site report, thanking him for giving me this precious opportunity, which gives me the hope of marrying a princess.

But I could see that his eyes were full of coldness and sarcasm.

Originally, I left Lingyun City and went to other places, and the feud between my brother and I should have ended. But after he messed it up, based on my understanding of my elder brother, it is very likely that the feud will really end. I can imagine that my elder brother will regard me as his biggest competitor from now on. After all, this is more or less the hatred of stealing his wife. I can imagine that he will probably curse me every night when he lies in bed that his son lacks the key part...

I'd rather have a daughter in the future.

I felt sick as if I had eaten a fly. It was like I was having a good team fight, but suddenly my house was stolen by someone else! Thousands of words converge into three words -

It’s so uncomfortable!

Just as I was making up stories about the Dog King in my mind, something even more distressing happened.

After the King finished speaking, he generously told me that Princess Lana wanted to see me. I walked towards the dragon carriage, and Princess Lana ran down the steps. Looking at her innocent, lovely, and ignorant face, I couldn't bear it and planned to explain the matter to her.

So I said:

"Princess Lana, there is something I must confess..."

Lana shook her head and said softly:

"I know everything."

You know everything?

What do you know?

Do you know that I lied to you, that I made those paintings look old, and that I copied the poems from Mr. Li Bai? ?

Never mind, it’s good to know, today I will——

Lana took my hand and put a piece of emerald green jade in my hand with her two small hands, and said softly:

"To be honest is to confess, right? Don't think Lana doesn't know. Lana has read about the feelings of liking someone and the feeling of liking someone in books. But my father won't agree now, so Lana will give you the jade she likes first, and then come to find you when she grows up. You said you have liked Lana for many years, right? Then Lana will also like you for many years, this is fair!"

I was completely confused when I heard this, but I already felt that something was wrong. When I was about to explain, Lana stood on tiptoe and gently kissed me on the cheek.

???

What are you doing? ?

Suddenly molesting me due to a disagreement? ?

Is there anyone who cares about this? Even though the kiss wasn't on the lips, it's obvious that this person is taking advantage of me.

Although the feeling of a little kitten licking my cheeks gently, which was like a week-old kitten, made me feel like I was in heaven, let's be honest, you are so young and you are taking advantage of me, how can you do that? I, Li De, am a young master, with a clean body, you can't take advantage of me just because you are of royal blood, okay!

No, I have to talk about her.

"Princess Lana, please respect yourself... Oh my! Where are the people?"

Looking up again, I found that she had already run far away, even her ears were red.

I looked at the jade in my hand, turned around, looked at my father and brother who were standing side by side with faces so gloomy that water could drip out of them, and sighed softly.

Well, after all, we have only met once, and Lana's affection for me is probably just that of a child. When she grows up, she will probably forget everything, or just remember it as a dark history. After all, she has royal blood. Although she is silly now, she will probably become a smart little fox when she grows up. As long as she doesn't come to kill me then, it will be fine...

I kept comforting myself in my heart, but I always had a bad feeling.

7. Everyone has their own reverse scale

In the evening, I received a message from the housekeeper in the mansion, saying that my father had hosted a banquet and told me about the fiefdom. This was also a customary practice. After the lord announced the fiefdom of his heirs, he would decide on the fiefdom that night and send his children off early the next morning.

After I received the news, I called Alayya in and told her:

"Alaiya, we have to leave tomorrow morning at the latest. I will go to the banquet alone tonight, so you pack our things."

Alaiya's cold face still showed a trace of worry, and she said nervously:

"Master, you are alone..."

I smiled and shook my head:

"It's okay. On the contrary, you need to hurry up and clean up your situation."

Alayya still trusted me, but she still asked:
