At this moment, in the palace. As
soon as noon arrived, Yao Ye's coming-of-age ceremony was announced to begin.
As the eldest princess of the Jiama royal family, her coming-of-age ceremony was naturally no small matter. Representatives of several major families in the Holy City, such as Mitel Tengshan and Nalan Su, were all present.
Some rapidly developing family forces in the empire were also present, such as the Northwest Mo family, which had just climbed to the top of the Yunlan Sect, and sent the great elder Mo Cheng to participate.
However, at this time, Mo Cheng was obviously not interested in the ceremony in the field, and he paid more attention to the people of the Yunlan Sect next to him.
Obviously, in his heart, the status of the royal family is not as good as the latter.
Ironically, he looked down on the royal family, but the master Yunlan Sect, whom he wanted to curry favor with, attached great importance to the royal family. Not only did the great elder Yun Leng come, but even Yun Yun was present in person, which was a great honor.
In addition to the people in the empire, there were two people in the VIP seats who were extremely conspicuous, and from time to time someone would cast a cold look over them.
The ninth prince from the Izumo Empire, and his three-star Douling guard.
Yun Yun came here in person today, partly because she got the news from them in advance.
Although the relationship between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect is becoming increasingly tense, it is all internal affairs of the empire. Facing the monsters from outside the empire, the two sides have reached a common front.
At least, that's the case for now.
On the field, accompanied by a long opening speech, the emperor of the Jiama Empire, who had no sense of existence, finally appeared and personally presented the gift to Yao Ye.
Yao Ye took off her heroic military uniform today, wearing a luxurious long dress, showing her exquisite figure to the fullest, and her brilliance overshadowed everyone.
Today, now, she is the only protagonist!
Looking at the queen-like Yao Ye, not to mention others, even Jia Xingtian, Yao Yue, and the emperor who had no sense of existence, felt a little dazed.
She should be like this!
But because...
Many people looked at the emperor unconsciously, saying nothing, but it seemed that they had said everything, which made the emperor feel hot on his face.
The ceremony was over, and the only serious matter of the ceremony was over. The next part was all entertainment, commonly known as bragging and farting to see the show time.
However, during this process, an accident happened.
The Ninth Prince of the Izumo Empire stood up with a wine glass in his hand and walked to the front of Emperor Jiama, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Even though there were several Dou Wangs and even two Dou Huangs watching him, the Ninth Prince was not nervous. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
"Your Majesty, I came here uninvited on behalf of the Izumo Empire. On the one hand, I want to give a gift to the Grand Princess. In addition, I want to ask for your Majesty's permission."
Although he said please, there was no pleading look on his face, and even the salute was quite perfunctory.
Emperor Jiama's face sank and he responded coldly.
"Speak."
If possible, he would like to drag this ungrateful guy out and chop him up, but the Ninth Prince has a special status and has to consider it carefully, otherwise, it is very likely to lead to immeasurable consequences, or even war.
The imperial family's white jade pillars that support the sky and purple gold beams that support the sea, Jia Xingtian is already old. If he cannot break through the Dou Zong level, his deadline is not many years away. The guardian beast, the Youhai Jiao beast, is also in poor condition.
Beside his bed, there is also a covetous Yunlan Sect.
Among the three major families in the imperial capital, only the Mu family can be considered loyal.
The Nalan family is two-faced and uncertain, and the Mitel family is more eager than anyone else to get up early. If a war really breaks out, it would be good if they can't take the opportunity to make war money.
After calculating everything inside and out, the situation of the royal family can be imagined. They really can't withstand the ravages of war.
The ninth prince is obviously aware of this, so he dared to come so rashly, and he didn't even tell his emperor father, thinking about going back to take credit.
As long as he is right, the Jia Ma royal family will never dare to touch him.
Well, it is indeed the case.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I have admired Princess Yaoye for a long time, but I didn't propose it because of my age. Now that Princess Yaoye has reached adulthood, I don't want to drag it on any longer. I have come here today to propose marriage. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy. It is also for the sake of the good of both countries. So, I present you with one million gold coins and ten fifth-grade elixirs."
It was not so bad before. Proposals for marriage often came from several major empires, but most of them ended in failure.
Until the gift list was heard, the scene suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
One million gold coins sounds bluffing, but think about it, a low-level ring costs at least 100,000 gold coins, which is a big problem.
Compared with the status of Princess Yao Ye, this gift list is as cheap as it can be!
This is a naked humiliation!
The atmosphere in the field instantly became solemn, especially for those who are loyal to the royal family. If eyes could kill at this moment, the ninth prince would probably be cut into a pulp.
Emperor Jia Ma was so angry that his chest rose and fell greatly. He was a coward, so cowardly that he didn't even deserve a name. He was a coward who didn't give birth to a prince who could carry the banner, and he
was a coward who didn't have strong strength. But he was brave.
Just when Emperor Jia Ma couldn't help but prepare to teach him a profound lesson at the risk of making enemies with the Izumo Empire, today's protagonist Yao Ye stood up and stopped his decision.
As the person involved, he should have been furious after experiencing such an insult, but at this moment, Yao Ye behaved extremely abnormally. Not only did he not look angry, but he also had an unconcealable joy on his face.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that she likes being treated like this, it's just that she received a huge surprise and had a simpler way to deal with it.
Walking in front of the Ninth Prince, Yao Ye looked down at the toad who was a head shorter than him.
"You want to marry me?"
"Isn't it obvious? I have admired the eldest princess for a long time."
The Ninth Prince looked at Yao Ye frivolously, looking up and down. Originally, he just wanted to humiliate the Jia Ma royal family so that he could go back and ask for credit, but today, seeing Yao Ye so charming after taking off his military uniform, he really had the idea.
Commonly known as being tempted by beauty.
Yao Ye endured the nausea and said, "Okay, but you must also know my temper. Show me your strength and let me look at you with new eyes."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"This is where my Jia Ma royal family is, and I won't deliberately embarrass you. I will find you a sixteen-year-old opponent. If you can beat him, I will agree to this marriage. If you can't, go back to your mother's womb to study. My Jia Ma Empire despises paper tigers the most." Yao Ye deliberately reported a few more years.
Hearing this, the Ninth Prince did not agree immediately.
In fact, although he was not favored, he was still a talented person among the princes and princesses of the Izumo Empire. Now at the age of 24, he has become a six-star master fighter with the resources of the royal family.
He was very confident in himself, but when Yao Ye took the initiative to ask for a contest, he always felt that it was not that simple.
The opponent he had never met must also be a genius.
However, his age was there, and he was already dreaming of becoming a master fighter at the age of 16.
Thinking that he still had a fourth-grade beast power pill and a third-grade wind-moving pill on him, which could improve his combat power, the Ninth Prince shamelessly asked.
"Then I have to add a rule, so that you can use the pills and other things on you."
Everything is for safety reasons, not shabby, but you only have one life.
His principle is that you can be wild, but you have to be sure of it. Being sure is called enjoying the game, and not being sure is called courting death.
Yao Ye turned his head and glanced at the young man who had already stepped onto the edge of the square. Seeing him nod, he immediately agreed.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the young face of the boy, the Ninth Prince became more confident.
"Life and death are determined by fate? Or should we stop at the right time? I am not used to exchanging ideas and I cannot let go."
"As you wish, I will write it down as a proof."
"Hahaha, OK, then come on."
The Ninth Prince did not know where Yao Ye's confidence came from. The boy looked sixteen or seventeen years old, but people in Douqi Continent grow up very fast, especially in their youth. From his perspective, he was sure that the boy was definitely not sixteen years old.
In this battle, I have the advantage, and I will win!
