Ch 36 The princes Heart

The huge lanterns represented eight petals. Eight maidens carefully supported them, and when the eight petals folded together, they created a massive lotus.

Suddenly, the lotus bloomed and the center of the flower shook slightly. Only now did people realize that there was a beautiful woman in the center.

The entire crowd cheered when she appeared. That was the Phoenix Cry Empire’s first princess. Long Chen found that she really was pretty good and worthy of praise.

Raising her hand, two lines of poetry appeared. The top one: the Heavens protect Phoenix Cry; the bottom one: let the Nation prosper, it’s People at peace. The entire crowd burst into cheers.

Long Chen smiled slightly. Being a nation’s princess was also pretty sorrowful. It was like having to live your whole life as a cricket in a jar.

That was a life of hidden fighting all day and night. But thinking about himself, he had also ended up in a life like that.

If you didn’t suppress others, then you would simply be trampled on. Being stepped on by those above you was something that just happened, but more importantly, they would crush you firmly to death.

Whether this had to do with enmity, right and wrong, etc., didn’t matter. Perhaps this struggle was just the most primitive of man’s nature.

As Long Chen was sighing over this, the second princess appeared. Due to his absent-mindedness, he ended up not catching a glimpse of her, something he regretted.

But the next one was Chu Yao’s lantern. He kept his eyes wide open, afraid to miss a single detail.

First, a few fireworks lit up the sky, accompanied by cheering.

Then immediately after, a huge dragon kite whistled through the air.

At the same time, beside the huge dragon was a colorful phoenix with gorgeous wings. Golden powder sprinkled from its wings, just as if a real phoenix had descended upon the earth.

“Wow, how beautiful!”

Along with the scattering powder, the dragon and phoenix shone, making it seem as if everyone had entered a world of legends.

They slowly fluttered down to the earth. From the dragon’s mouth came a large sphere of white light that burst open, sending streamers flying.

From those ribbons, a beautiful woman dressed in an ancient costume slowly appeared, shapely and leisurely, a beauty that made you never want to stop looking at her.

The entire crowd erupted in acclaim when the third princess appeared. Many of the young men had heard of the third princess’s beauty before. Hers was a beauty that could cause the downfall of an empire. Today, they finally got to see her in person, and for a moment, all that could be heard were fanatic screams.

Long Chen was also struck foolish for a moment upon seeing her. This was the first time Long Chen had seen her dressed up so beautifully.

Her eyes wandered over the crowd. Suddenly, her eyes brightened when she saw Long Chen, and she tossed a small ball which slowly flew out towards him.

Long Chen reached out his hand to catch it and found that the ball had a small tag on it.

The entire crown immediately went silent, all of them staring at Long Chen. The Empress Dowager was also startled, but she didn’t say anything.

But the person whose expression was most unsightly was definitely the Grand Xia’s Xia Changfeng. Although he tried to appear natural and at ease, his uncontrollable anger turned his face green.
