The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 110 Who became the glamorous husband?

The huge family recruitment meeting finally ended with another huge arson incident.

No one knows why the fire started, and there is no way to investigate it.

All clues are buried in the ruins.

And now, the biggest question they face is: Who will win in the end?
It stands to reason that there should be two more levels, and after all are over, the final winner will be selected based on the total score.

However, there is news from the Ice Palace that Her Majesty the Queen has canceled the remaining two rounds of competition.

In this way, Liu Xi became the final winner.

Aside from everyone's astonishment, there was not much resistance: Liu Xi had put in so much effort before, and now it finally worked.

Inside the hotel, Xia Yu looked annoyed and looked at Liu Xi sullenly, while Liu Xi was drinking tea calmly, completely ignoring Xia Yu's gaze.

"You're taking advantage of the fire to rob, you know?" Xia Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Anyway, you can't marry Your Majesty!"

"Then, give it to He Lanxue?" Liu Xi glanced at him and asked calmly, "Even without me, do you think you can win?"

Xia Yu's lips were murmured, but she didn't have the confidence to answer that 'yes'.

The situation of yesterday was vivid in his memory, and he was very clear: He Lanxue gave in to him. If He Lanxue hadn't always been scruples and showed mercy to him, he would never have had the chance to persist for so long.

"Compared to He Lanxue, am I better as the winner?" Liu Xi said coldly again.

Xia Yu was silent and did not speak.

When the scene was at a stalemate, a eunuch from the Ice Palace hurried over, and he simply passed on the queen's invitation: Leng Yan hosted a banquet in the ice lake to entertain all the participants.

"Your Majesty said that she will announce in front of everyone who will become the prince of the Ice Kingdom," the eunuch said.

Xia Yu's face was pale, and she clasped her hands by her sides, pulling them tightly.

Liu Xi smiled slightly, and led someone to take the reward silver and reward it to the eunuch, then got up, straightened his belt, and went out.

"You don't love her at all!" Xia Yu shouted hopelessly from behind.

Liu Xi didn't look back, but said indifferently: "Is love so important? I will respect her for the rest of my life because of her power. Isn't it stronger and safer than love?"

What is love?
Liu Se never understood, but he knew that his father loved his mother, but such a tragedy happened to him, his family was ruined.

Xia Yu was taken aback, he was still too young to know how to refute such a topic.

Liu Xi has already walked out.

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, then walked out.

In any case, he didn't want to miss any chance to meet Leng Yan.The image of her in the sea of ​​flames yesterday has become the most impossible imprint in her heart.

After leaving the door, there were already sedan chairs waiting outside, and each of them climbed into one of the chairs. After walking for less than half an hour, the sedan chairs stopped, and Xia Yu and Liu Xi walked out one after another, but they found that they were standing by a large lake, The lake is very big, all covered with thick ice, and there seem to be hills in the distance, which are also covered by ice and snow, as if it can jump from spring to winter in an instant - because of the Xinghai Stone, the Ice Palace looks like spring all the year round, Outside of the Ice Palace, there is still the unique ice and snow environment of the Ice Kingdom.

And Leng Yan hosted the banquet on a painted boat on the ice lake.

The painting boat is very big, looking from a distance, it looks like a three-story palace, and it is also very luxuriously decorated. The hull of the boat is still painted with the fiery red that the ice country people like, and I don’t know what minerals are used to paint it. Fresh.

Without running water, the boat is not floating on the lake, but inlaid on the lake, integrated with the lake, like a building built on it—maybe it can only be separated again when the ice and snow melt in summer.

From the shore of the lake to the painting boat, there are already two rows of fully armed guards standing, and a thick felt mat is laid in the middle of the road, stepping on it, you can't feel the coldness of the ice layer at all.

Liuxi and Xia Yu moved forward all the way, before they got close, they heard a burst of pleasant silk and bamboo sounds, and there was a lot of laughter inside, and they were enjoying themselves together.

The two looked at each other, then pushed open the painted red hatch.

When the people inside heard the sound, they all looked this way, seeing that it was them, they continued to speak their own words.

Xia Yu discovered: Sure enough, many participants were here, as well as some dignified ministers of the Ice Country, who were also present. An exquisite tea table was placed in front of them, with tea and snacks on the table, and some people dancing and having fun in the middle. Actor—with such a posture, it can be seen that the winner is indeed going to be announced today.

As Liu Xi walked to an empty seat at the bottom, she sized up the others.

In the seat very close to Leng Yan, in addition to He Lanxue, Yan Han, and Liu Zhufeng, there was also a generous and heroic woman. The woman seemed to be a stranger, and Leng Yan's attitude towards her could only be called polite. Not to mention acquaintance.

The woman was not polite, she kept chatting with He Lanxue beside her, and He Lanxue also replied in a good-tempered manner, without any displeasure or impatience.

Speaking of He Lanxue, Liu Xi also found that: He Lanxue seemed to have been injured yesterday, and his face looked particularly pale. Although his expression was calm and calm, his lips were almost pale, and the appearance of blood loss was obvious.

He finally scanned the audience with his eyes, and then made sure: Yi Ren was not there.

Liu Xi was a little suspicious of Yi Ren's story.

——However, there are still the most important things to do today.

"Everyone seems to be here." After Xia Yu and Liu Xi sat down, Leng Yan clapped her hands and asked calmly.

The music stopped immediately, the guests looked around, and then nodded: I am sure that everyone has arrived.

Leng Yan then picked up the glass of wine in front of her, held it up high, and said politely: "So, let's have a drink together for today's reunion."

Everyone raised their glasses, raised their necks, and drank it all.

Xia Yu only felt a clear and sweet taste that went straight into his internal organs. It should be mellow, but he felt extremely choking. He drank it very quickly, and when he put down the glass, he subconsciously looked at Leng Yan.

Then, Xia Yu was slightly taken aback: Leng Yan could put down her glass, and smiled at him lightly, the smile was light and meaningful, and the choking feeling of drinking just now disappeared in an instant.

She smiled at him.

She just smiled at him.

Xia Yu's face was on fire, and he stood up again, wanting to continue staring at her, but he didn't dare, so he could only look away embarrassingly, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

"There is only one reason for everyone to gather here today. I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Now, I will announce the name of this person to everyone." Leng Yan did not pretend to be secret, and naturally transferred the topic to everyone's attention matter.

Everyone held their breath and held their voices.

Liu Xi sat upright, but the expression on her face was calm, without showing the slightest anxiety.

"Before that, I would like to explain one thing to everyone." Leng Yan smiled slightly and added: "The fire yesterday was actually just a scene."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned, and they all looked at Leng Yan for no reason.

Leng Yan was still smiling, serious with jokes: "That's the real checkpoint. If you, as a prince, can't give up life and death for this palace, he must not forget life and death for the country of Ice. Naturally, he won't be loved by the people. .”

Liu Xi's expression changed, and he continued to listen quietly.

"So, in fact, there are two real winners, He Lanxue and Xia Xiaohou." Leng Yan stood up, pointed at He Lanxue and Xia Yu, and asked slowly: "I believe everyone has no objection to this conclusion, right?"

There was a whisper underneath, but no one said much.

Leng Yan smiled confidently, and continued: "However, I can only marry one person, that is to say, I must choose one of the two. Again, I have a suggestion: If none of you is willing to quit, then How about continuing with another competition?"

"I'll quit." As soon as Leng Yan's words fell, He Lanxue had already stepped out of the crowd. He stood in front of her with a smile in his eyes, looked at Leng Yan calmly, and said, "I also wish your majesty and the young master a happy life for a hundred years." Together, always be happy."

Leng Yan also looked at him calmly, didn't feel too disappointed, but said softly: "Yesterday King Xiaoyao gave up his life to save Ben Gong, and Ben Gong was really moved."

It was like, going back to that encounter eight years ago, the handsome man descended from the sky, took her by the hand, and took her out from the rain of swords and arrows unscathed, and at the same time, brought the girl's first love with her. And up to eight years of perseverance.

However, once again, the initial throbbing is no longer there.

A word of 'grateful' dissipates love and hate.

Even if he saves her, she is not in his heart.

She is envious and jealous of the woman he puts in his heart, and also hopes that she can become another woman in other people's hearts.

"As compensation, I will lend the treasure of Ice Kingdom to King Xiaoyao, will King Xiaoyao be willing?" Leng Yan asked softly.

He Lanxue raised her head, a little surprised, and then smiled knowingly.

Leng Yan is always proud after all.

Her pride can be afforded and persistent, and likewise, she can be put down frankly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Lanxue bowed her body, and when she raised her head again, she suddenly realized: In fact, he had never understood Leng Yan, and he had never seen this extremely beautiful and noble woman clearly.

Leng Yan nodded slightly at him, then turned to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu had already been so overwhelmed by the great joy that she couldn't find her way, the music around her suddenly became the background, and everything turned into a phantom.

In his mind, he kept lingering sentences that he still couldn't believe: Is he going to marry Leng Yan?

Can he really marry Leng Yan?
He, a little Xiami with no name, can really marry Her Majesty the Queen who is like the Queen Mother of Yaochi?

"Xia Yu, are you willing to be my husband, and from now on, we will support each other, never leave, and do our best for the Ice Kingdom and the people, until we die?" Leng Yan asked in a dignified voice.

Xia Yu stared blankly at her, as if being enchanted, said two words very naturally, "Yes."

Leng Yan smiled again, then raised her head and asked softly: "So, do you love me?"

Xia Yu suddenly gained courage, he looked at Leng Yan with reverence, maybe immature, but surprisingly firm and said: "Love."

Smiling and glamorous.

Over the years, many people feared her, respected her, hated her, and blamed her, but no one said so seriously: love her.

This is a brand new feeling, the feeling of being put in the heart and eyes of others wholeheartedly.

"As long as your love remains unchanged, you will become the most revered prince in the Ice Kingdom, and everything in the Ice Kingdom will be placed in your palm, governed by you, and at your command." Leng Yan finished proudly, Then, she looked back at He Lanxue.
