Chapter 315

"Opportunity?"

Emperor Yang Hong was delighted to hear that. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Ji Lanchu secretly glanced at Gu Chen next to her and said according to the story she had discussed with Gu Chen previously.

"I had an epiphany in the Ten-Thousand Dragons Secret Place and felt some changes in my body. After that, a large number of dragons were attracted."

"After that, the Ten-Thousand Dragon Tide broke out in advance. Countless golden dragons surrounded me, but they didn't attack me. Instead, they spat out dragon essence to help me cultivate."

Princess Lanchu's words made everyone excited.

"My god, the princess is indeed of the royal bloodline. The dragons in the Ten-Thousand Dragons Secret Place actually bowed to her!"

"This is an auspicious sign, indicating that our Central Plains Empire will become more prosperous!"

Some of the officials who were good at flattery immediately spoke up. Emperor Yang Hong, however, was skeptical and said. He said, "Let me check."

He put his hand on Princess Lanchu's pulse, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the situation in her body. When he opened his eyes again, his face was full of surprise.

"Your physique is indeed much stronger than before!"

As they both had the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, he could clearly sense that his daughter had indeed had a great opportunity. At that moment, all his doubts were gone and turned into excitement.

"This is indeed an auspicious sign. You have such a fortuitous encounter, the heavens really bless our royal family!"

He smiled, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Gu Chen, but he couldn't help but frown.

If things were really as Lanchu said, then the Ten-Thousand Dragon Tide broke out in advance could be explained. That was because of Princess Lanchu's extraordinary talent.

It was just that Princess Lanchu was left behind by the Kunlun Mirror because of her fortuitous encounter, but why did Chen Gu of the Celestial Court come out only now?

The emperor's doubts were also the doubts of the officials and guests. Just now, a man and a woman came out alone, which caused some people to discuss in private.

Especially the princess's fiancé, Huangfu Qingming, whose face was already extremely ugly!

No matter what, this matter had to be clarified. Emperor Yang Hong then asked Princess Lanchu.

"Father, Young Master Chen saved me in the secret place. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had such a fortuitous encounter."

"He happened to be beside me when the dragons surrounded me. Perhaps that's why he came back late."

Princess Lanchu's explanation made sense. Some people couldn't help but nod, but there were others who had a strange look on their faces. They felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

Emperor Yang Hong also felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, but there was no benefit in pursuing this matter further. He could only vaguely nod his head.

"I see. Thank you for saving my daughter."

"You're welcome, Your Majesty." Gu Chen smiled.

"Your Majesty, since the matter is clear, let's quickly inform the world of this matter."

Shen Xudong hurriedly reminded. One must know that the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony had already been delayed for some time. On the other side of the Water Mirror Stone, countless commoners were waiting.

At this moment, the Kunlun Mirror had already disappeared from the void, and there were no longer any abnormalities. Since the princess had a fortuitous encounter, it was good news, and it should be announced to the world as soon as possible so that the people could be at ease.

"The Imperial Preceptor is right. Lanchu, come with me."

Emperor Yang Hong nodded and hurriedly brought Princess Lanchu to the altar.

Gu Chen stood on the spot, watching Ji Lanchu walk to the altar, looking forward to what would happen next.

He felt that many gazes were looking at him, and some of them were filled with murderous intent. However, he was expressionless and fearless.

"Something unexpected happened in the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony today, but everyone need not worry."

Emperor Yang Hong faced the huge Water Mirror Stone and smiled.

His image appeared all over the Land of the Nine Prefectures, including the elegant and refined Princess Lanchu behind him.

"The reason why the Kunlun Mirror had an abnormality today is because my youngest daughter, Lanchu, had a fortuitous encounter in the Ten-Thousand Dragons Secret Ground. This is the fortune of our royal family, and also an auspicious sign!"

After Emperor Yang Hong finished his explanation, the originally nervous commoners all over the Land of the Nine Prefectures heaved a sigh of relief, and their faces were filled with joy.

An auspicious sign!

If that was the case, the next five years would be peaceful and prosperous for the empire!

"Princess Lanchu! Princess Lanchu! "

For a moment, a large number of commoners in all the major cities in the Land of the Nine Prefectures were shouting the princess' name, especially in the imperial capital, Luo Yang.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yang Hong was extremely gratified. Just as he was about to say a few more words to end this year's Grand Sacrificial Ceremony, his daughter behind him spoke.

"Father, I have something to say."

Right now, Ji Lanchu was the center of attention. If she wanted to say something, Emperor Yang Hong naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Watch your words. Don't forget what kind of occasion this is."

He gave up his seat to her, and at the same time, he used his divine sense to remind her.

Ji Lanchu nodded and stood calmly on the high platform with a smile that could topple a nation.

"Other than the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony today, there is actually another joyous event that I would like to share with everyone. Everyone should know that the engagement between me and the young master of the Huangfu Clan has been set. After the ceremony, we will officially get married. "

Many of the guests on the square nodded. They already knew about this matter.

And in various places in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, there were many commoners who did not know the news. Once they heard it, they all congratulated one after another.

"The young master of the Huangfu Clan is no stranger to everyone. He is the publicly acknowledged genius of the Land of the Nine Prefectures — Huangfu Qingming."

Ji Lanchu looked at Huangfu Qingming, who was standing on the square, and revealed a rare smile.

Huangfu Qingming could not help but frown. He was not stupid. He knew very well that the little princess had never liked him. Why was she so enthusiastic about their engagement?

"Everyone thinks that Huangfu Qingming and I are well-matched in terms of social status. I think so too."

Ji Lanchu continued. Her words made Emperor Yang Hong feel gratified. It seemed that his daughter had finally thought it through.

"The Little Princess must be talking nonsense. Everyone knows that she ran away from the wedding. If she really thinks that Huangfu Qingming is capable, why would she run away? "

"Yeah, I heard that she eloped with someone!"

In various places in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, especially in Youzhou, many commoners heard the princess' words and whispered.

"Everyone should know that I ran away from the marriage once some time ago."

Princess Lanchu suddenly took the initiative to mention that she ran away from the marriage. This made Emperor Yang Hong's heart tighten. He was afraid that she would say something out of line.

"The reason why I ran away from the marriage is not because I am dissatisfied with the marriage. In fact, Lanchu is still young and has too much hope for her marriage. She does not wish for it to be purely the orders of her parents."

"I hope that my future husband will treat me sincerely. I hope that he will be upright and use the best way to marry me."

Princess Lanchu's explanation made many come to a sudden realization and expressed their understanding.

After all, she was still a little girl. Of course, she would be a little rebellious and yearn for love.

"Lanchu has grown up."

Emperor Yang Hong sighed in his heart when he heard that.

He was very clear that the reason why Lanchu ran away from the marriage was not because of this. But now that she said it, it was obvious that she wanted to save the royal family's face.
