Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

Chapter 18 Dai Mubai

Royal Palace, Civet Palace.

The Civet Palace is the palace where the queens live. Because the queens in the past dynasties were all members of the Zhu family and possessed the Netherworld Civet Spirit, this palace was named the Civet Palace.

After returning from the royal martial arts arena, the queen was always angry and smashed many items in the Civet Palace.

"What's going on, Queen Mother?" the eldest prince asked.

"After the third prince lost to the fourth prince, the queen has been angry. The third prince has been kneeling inside for several hours. Your highness, the eldest prince, please go in and persuade the queen. The queen will only listen to your highness's advice. ." The palace maid next to her said anxiously.

When you open the palace door and step in, the first thing you see is Dai Mubai kneeling on the ground.

Dai Mubai never raised his head, and his long golden hair covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

There was blood on his forehead, which was hit by the queen with a cup.

"Useless trash." Davis said coldly, his eyes full of contempt.

"At level 17, I defeated someone who had just obtained a soul ring. It's really useless."

Dai Mubai, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and didn't reply a word.

"Queen mother, what are you arguing with this loser? If he loses, he loses. Can't that scoundrel win the competition for the throne? As long as I am here, I will take that scoundrel's life." Davis turned to look at the queen, Said with certainty.

"Am I angry that he lost? I'm angry with myself for believing in this trash."

Hearing his mother commenting on him like this, Dai Mubai trembled slightly, choked with sobs, and tears fell to the ground.

Even if he was defeated by Dai Yao, he was never so sad. He just felt that his skills were inferior to others. And when his mother called him useless, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Perhaps both the Queen and Davis noticed Dai Mubai's strange behavior, but neither of them offered any words of comfort.

But this is the Xingluo royal family, a place without emotions.

Only the winner gets everything.

"Every Star Luo prince will enter the Star Luo Royal Academy to study. When he comes to the academy, I will give him a good lesson." Davis comforted him.

The queen sighed and expressed her worries: "Although I hate this scoundrel, I have to admit that his talent is excellent, even better than yours. When he goes to the academy, with Dai Hengyu's care, I want to It’s not easy to do it.”

Dai Hengyu is the prince of the Star Luo Empire and the vice president of the Star Luo Royal Academy. He is one of the forces that the royal family controls the academy.

"Moreover, once he is given time to grow up, he will definitely become your strong rival. With the second child who is eyeing you covetously, it will not be easy for the two of them to join forces and successfully inherit the throne."

"Mother, please rest assured. I don't take the second child seriously, let alone that brat Dai Yao." Davis was full of confidence. In his heart, Dai Yao was not worthy of being his opponent.

In fact, this is also true. The second prince at level 25 can still give Davis a little threat, but Dai Yao, a person who was not a soul master a few days ago, how can he take him seriously?

"Mother, you are not only the queen of the Star Luo Empire, but also one of the elders of the Zhu family. Since Zhu Zhuqing is a member of the Zhu family, wouldn't you be able to..." Davis said sadly.

Compared with Dai Mubai, who acted openly and aboveboard, Davis had no restrictions on his methods, as long as he could achieve his goal. If Dai Yao was facing off against Davis today, he would not give Dai Yao any chance.

In his eyes, as long as he can win, it is a good means. It doesn't matter if he bullies the small, but what if he wins by being ugly?

Upon hearing Davis's suggestion, the queen's eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered the maid outside the door: "Go and bring me that girl Zhu Zhuqing."

Then, she glanced at Dai Mubai with disgust: "You loser, why don't you get out of here! Do you still want to be an eyesore here?"

Dai Mubai stood up and turned around. This man looked lifeless and decadent. He is no longer as energetic as he was during the duel. You know, he is only nine years old this year.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky, a sadness welling up in his heart, and hot tears streaked down his cheeks.

Dai Yao is a prince and he cannot afford to lose, but he is also a prince and he cannot afford to lose.

If Dai Yao loses, people will say that he is still young and his defeat is excusable, but if he is defeated, he will only become the object of ridicule.

In the competition for the throne, there is no second place. Failure results in the same outcome - death.

He has never received maternal love since he was born. The proud look on his mother's face every time she praised his brother made him envious. As a child, he also wanted to be the pride of his parents.

But in Xingluo's royal family, it is destined to be just a luxury hope.

He looked like an old man, not as high-spirited as he had during the duel, and left the Civet Palace in embarrassment.

······

After Dai Mubai left, Zhu Zhuqing was taken to the Civet Palace.

The queen pinched Zhu Zhuqing's chin with her thumb and index finger, and said in a cold tone: "What a good person, how cheap is that scoundrel?"

Zhu Zhuqing felt a little uncomfortable being pinched, but he did not dare to resist at all.

"I heard that you want freedom and get rid of the fate of the Zhu family?" the queen asked.

These simple words seemed to have infinite charm, and Zhu Zhuqing's cold face showed a look of longing.

"I can give you this opportunity. I have something I need you to complete. When it is completed, you can be free and no longer have to be manipulated. How about that?"

······

A few days later.

Cold palace.

Dai Yao took off his gorgeous robe and lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

"It's so exhausting," he sighed.

I have been busy these past few days and never stopped for a moment. After the duel is won, there are many things that need to be dealt with. He first went to the ancestral hall of the Presbyterian Church in the White Tiger Mountains to meet with the elders; then he went to the knighthood. The complicated inheritance ceremony of the ancient family made his head grow bigger, which not only consumed his energy but also his physical strength.

Someone once proposed to build a new palace specially as the residence of the fourth prince. But Dai Yao refused, and he was still used to living in the cold palace. Of course, the cold palace has also been renovated and now has a completely new look.

In addition, he will go to Xingluo Royal Academy soon. By then, he will hardly come back, so there is no need to build a prince's mansion.

Most importantly, how could he allow his extravagant life to corrupt his gold-like character!

In fact, the main reason is that he has no money and cannot afford the expenses of the prince's mansion. Although the royal treasury will allocate a certain amount of money to each prince, compared with the cost of raising a prince, it is really a drop in the bucket.

Now everything is over.

His engagement will be fulfilled soon.

Because it is just a simple marriage contract, only a few important relatives are required to bear witness. Zhu Zhuqing's family members are queens, and if Dai Yao's mother dies, Emperor Xingluo will not care about him, so the fifth elder serves as the representative of his family members.

He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the queen's face as dark as the bottom of a pot at the engagement banquet yesterday.

And in just these two days, Zhu Zhuqing will come to Leng Palace.

ps: The first volume is finally over. After writing it chapter by chapter, I really found that I have many shortcomings.

It was originally planned that the final duel with Dai Mubai would be a climax, but after all, due to lack of experience, the climax was not handled well.

In addition, the character of the protagonist actually began to fall apart in the second chapter, but the collapse was not particularly severe, and it can still be saved now.

I have finished writing the first volume, and now I have accumulated a lot of experience. I hope that the second volume can be written better. Thank you to all the readers and friends, especially the two friends who have been with me since the beginning of the book.

Sincere thanks to you all.

In addition, I am very happy to receive the website shortcut today. After review, I will officially become a contracted author.

Don’t worry about breaking updates or anything. This is the first book I have written, and the word count will be at least 500,000 words.

Because only by writing 500,000 words can I master the most basic ability to write novels, and I chose to publish the book directly from the starting point. This behavior is called rushing, and I will be alone for a long time.

When Spring Breeze opens the book, you will be mentally prepared to endure loneliness for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about cutting the book.

Finally, I would like to ask for recommendation votes and follow-up reading. Thank you again.
