(Vol 4.9: An Unbalanced Life)
Royal Palace-Southern Country's Southern Moon City
The entire Mo Kingdom was immersed in joy and excitement. Their wise ruler, King Yi Mo, was finally going to marry their queen. Moreover, their future queen was the six-year-old Princess Su Yu, who was famous for her beauty. She was the most favored third princess of the Southern Kingdom.
Their king had decreed a month ago that the whole country was not to use red for anything for the next three months. Because their future queen had an eye disease since childhood and could not see red. Even the bridal procession was gold and yellow. Their king had also opened the Celestial Cloud Palace, which he had ordered to be built when he ascended the throne, in advance, and had people tidy it up into a white color to marry the queen.
The Celestial Cloud Palace was the dream of all the concubines in the palace. King Yi Mo had ordered it to be built when he had just ascended the throne, and it had taken five years to complete. It was said that the Celestial Cloud Palace was like a place where fairies lived because it was too high up in the sky. So much so that it looked like he was floating on clouds from afar.
The palace that became the famous monument of the Desert Kingdom had finally opened. How could the people not be happy?
-----------------------------------------------
"Xi 'er. Father can't send you off. Please take care." At the entrance of the palace where tens of thousands of people had gathered, my father put down his hand that had been holding me. His eyes flickered with reluctance as he spoke with concern.
I silently nodded and inadvertently glanced around. In addition to a group of people and guards, there was no gentle youth in blue.
Brother Yu, aren't you coming to see me off? I don't know if I can see him again. He really can't send me off? Then, Brother Yu, I will say goodbye to you in my heart.
I turned around and dragged my light yellow thick skirt towards the waiting wedding sedan. At this time, the eight-man sedan was decorated with gold and looked noble and dazzling. I really couldn't bear to part with it.
Every step felt so difficult, was it because his heart was too heavy? As soon as I approached the palanquin, the palace maid beside me immediately opened the light gauze curtain. I was about to step in when I heard a call from behind,"Xi 'er."
I turned around happily. The youth in the blue robe ran towards me. When he came closer, I called out softly,"Brother Yu." He took a deep breath and stuffed a handful of tree seeds into my hands. These were the seeds of a Magnolia and a pear tree. When you reach the Desert Kingdom, plant it. Before it grows and blossoms, I will definitely come to the Desert Kingdom to find you!”
Magnolia…Li Hua…Brother Yu, do you want us to stay together? I grabbed the seed tightly and turned around to get into the sedan chair. However, when I walked in, I straightened my body and turned around to smile at the blue-clothed youth with red eyes.
Brother Yu, goodbye. I silently said these words and walked into the sedan chair. There was a cheer around me. Were the people thanking me? Thank me for sacrificing my own happiness in exchange for friendly exchanges between the two countries?
I impatiently pulled off the heavy and precious phoenix crown on my head. I grabbed the loose flaxen hair and felt melancholy. What if I don't know how to comb my hair? She put down her thoughts and untied the cumbersome long dress. Inside was a white light gauze embroidered with black lotuses. She immediately felt a chill on her skin.
I pulled a light yellow ribbon from my long dress. I frowned and gathered my long hair at the back of my head. Then, I straightened it up and tied it up with a ribbon. Okay, okay. I touched the long hair at the back of my head. It was very loose and short. I pulled out another ribbon and tied it at the end of my hair, so that there were no tiny strands of hair sticking to my neck.
Ah Xin, Xiao Xi is getting married. Where are you?

[Liancheng-Southern Country]
The Desert Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom were separated by countless towering mountains. However, because there were too many merchants passing by, a city was formed here, built in the valley.
Liancheng was an underground city that countless generations had spent their entire lives digging and expanding. It was as beautiful as an underground palace. The city lord of Liancheng was chosen from past merchants, so Liancheng was not only rich, but also had great influence.
It was said that there was a palm-sized luminous pearl in the center of the underground palace. It was this priceless treasure that made the underground palace bright. However, there was a rumor from Liancheng City recently that there would be an accident in the regular pearl ceremony this year and the luminous pearl would lose its light. And the reason was precisely because this generation of city lord was licentious and extravagant, spending money like dirt all day long. This caused the so-called resentment to be too great and offend the gods. The gods decided to take back the light of the luminous pearl that was originally stored underground.
Our team walked for a few days before arriving at this underground palace-Lian Cheng. And the day we arrived was the day the people of Liancheng panicked. As soon as we arrived, before I could get out of the sedan chair to take a breath of air, the legendary licentious city lord hurriedly rushed over to welcome us.
I sat in the palanquin. Bored, I was playing with a white jade agar-glass cup. This cup was a gift from the person in charge of the Palace of Reversing Darkness, who was actually Su Han, on behalf of the people in the palace.
The cup was crystal clear and flawless. With a light flick of his hand, there would be a clear sound like the sound of spring water. It seemed that Su Han had put in a lot of effort to prepare this gift. If the sound of the cup was so clear, this jade must be a thousand year old cold jade, and it must have been treasured for many years.
"Princess, City Lord Lian Cheng requests an audience." A cold voice asked respectfully. I coldly turned my eyes from the cup to the curtain and asked lightly,"Is it?"”So he lazily straightened up, lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Greetings, Palace Master Su Yu." Before I could see who it was, I heard a respectful greeting. My eyes turned and stopped on the maid who had been waiting on me before. I asked coldly,"Is this Liancheng?"”After saying that, I looked at the underground palace that was flashing with a faint yellow light and couldn't help but find it funny.
No matter how good the luminous pearl was, it couldn't illuminate the city like a palace.
