At such a lively moment, no one found out if anyone had left or returned.
Therefore, the fact that Pang Zhijing and Xiao Hou left and returned one after another did not attract much attention.
In the singing of the eunuch, Empress Xixuan appeared hand in hand.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the queen's wife is a thousand years old!"
Everyone knelt down and saluted, their voices were mighty and incomparable.
Emperor Xixuan and Empress Liang sat on the head together. He looked at the hundreds of officials and female dependents below, and waved his hand, "All get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone got up and stepped back to their places.
Emperor Xixuan looked at the seat on the right, which was specially set up for the Nancang envoys. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Can the envoys of your country have a good rest in the past few days?"
Tori cupped his hands and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty Hongfu, I will wait for you to eat, drink and sleep well in the inn, just like at your own home, and I have to thank Your Majesty for your hospitality."
Emperor Xixuan nodded very happily, "This is what it should be, the visitor is a guest, and I am worried about the poor reception, so that's fine."
With that said, Emperor Xixuan turned his gaze to Pang Zhijing, who was sitting quietly beside him. He showed a friendly smile, "Princess, I heard that you have been around the capital in the past few days, but what have you gained?"
Pang Zhijing was startled when her name was suddenly called, but she quickly replied, "Xixuan is famous for its outstanding people, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere. It's much more fun than our Nancang. During this period, Zhijing also got to know a lot. Friends, it's really worth it."
"Princess speaks a little more sassily than our Xixuan girls. She is a heroic girl. She is indeed the Pearl Princess carefully cultivated by King Nancang. She is graceful and does not lose to one side." Said, "Then next, please the princess and the envoys to enjoy the wonderful program specially prepared for you by our country, and comfort the hardships and hardships along the way."
As soon as Emperor Xixuan finished his words, singing and dancing girls poured in outside the palace, and the music played on both sides, and the whole hall was very lively.
When Chu Qingyan was watching the performance attentively, a shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of her eyes. She couldn't help but turn her head to look, only to see a figure sneakily touching her seat, as if realizing that someone had found it, he turned around and tried her best. She closed her eyes and told her not to make a sound.
Isn't that Xiao Yao
Xiao Xu also noticed him, "Why so late?"
Xiao Yao's position was just below him, so it was very convenient for the two of them to talk.
"Don't mention it, I've been exhausted these days." Xiao Yao waved his hand, his expression full of sorrow.
"Could it be that you are being bullied by someone?" Xiao Yao has been drinking her good wine a lot recently, and Chu Qingyan is not so unfamiliar with him, because Xiao Xu's relationship with him is a lot closer, and he can also have a relationship with him. Just kidding.
Xiao Yao heard the words and glanced at his royal brother, "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, you dare to make fun of me!"
"Elder sister-in-law is like a mother, she will be higher in seniority than you in the future, shouldn't you be concerned about you?" In such a leisurely and lively atmosphere, Xiao Xu's body was a little less chilling and a little softer, and his words were relaxed. a lot.
Xiao Yao shook his head again and again, sighing that the world was getting worse, "Sure enough, when I have a sister-in-law, I forgot my brother. I'm so pitiful. I don't know what my father is thinking these days. I have contributed to the friendship between the two countries, but in fact, people ignore me at all, I can’t see anyone all day, and I’m closed every day.”
Hearing this, Xiao Xu and Chu Qingyan couldn't help but look at each other, Xiao Xu pondered, "Royal father intends for you to marry Princess Nancang?"
"I don't know about that," Xiao Yao immediately waved his hand when he heard the words, and he smiled, "You also know that I'm used to being free and unrestrained, and it's too difficult to tie me up with a marriage contract. Besides, it's about I have no blessings to enjoy such a marriage."
Nancang people are ruthless, maybe this princess is stubborn, he doesn't want to marry a tigress in the mansion, that would be too much suffering!
"Your Majesty's fate is hard to defy, maybe that's what Your Majesty planned." Chu Qingyan said something, she rolled her eyes, and spoke on behalf of Pang Zhijing, "Also, I've met this princess a few times, she's a lovely and innocent girl, maybe you two. will get along just fine.”
This topic is left to the little guy to deal with, and Xiao Xu doesn't get involved.
Xiao Yao shook his head resolutely, then approached mysteriously and said, "No matter who the final mate is, I have a gossip here, I wonder if you want to hear it?"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xu drank the wine in front of him with no interest, and only Chu Qingyan looked at him calmly.
Xiao Yao had a frustrated look on his face, "Hey, you two... Forget it, I'll tell you," he said in a low voice, "I think this Princess Nancang and the third brother are a bit tricky."
After speaking, I thought I could get the surprise of the two, but I didn't expect that one was still not interested, and the other was still relaxed.
"Hey, don't bring this, anyway, I also shared such secret news with you." Xiao Yao muttered.
"It's not that we don't support it, it's just that we have already learned the news." Chu Qingyan kindly explained that although the relationship between Pang Zhijing and Xiao Hou is unclear, but from their private exchanges, If it doesn't matter, then it doesn't make sense.
"Did you find anything?" At this time, Xiao Xu asked.
Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows and nodded when he heard the words, "Yes, didn't I go to the inn to hang out again yesterday? It's a pity that I didn't see the princess, so I just drank a drink nearby, and later saw the princess come back in a state of despair, as if suffering from something serious. The blow, I inquired, the direction she came back was the third brother's mansion, you say, is this a coincidence?"
This surprised Chu Qingyan, because Pang Zhijing only went to their palace for a walk yesterday, and she was happy when she left, why did she suddenly go to Xiao Hou's side
"Second prince, according to what you said, today's candidate for the princess and the relative is a little uncertain." Could it be that Pang Zhijing likes Xiao Hou
Xiao Yao smiled and said with Erlang's legs raised at his eldest brother, "I have a bold guess, do you want to listen?"
After he finished speaking, he remembered the virtues of the two before, shook his head, and stopped asking for trouble, and said straight to the point, "I am the candidate for the father, but the candidate for Nancang is the emperor."
"How is that possible?" Chu Qingyan's brows twitched and he asked subconsciously.
Xiao Yao smiled mysteriously, "Based on the deep friendship between the third brother and Nan Cang, this is not impossible. After all, we can take the opportunity to dispose of the military power in the hands of the eldest brother."
Nan Cang was a big country and a fierce opponent, so the imperial court would not entrust such an important military force to the eldest brother.
So holding a beautiful woman back is equivalent to giving up power.
"It's up to me to answer or not!" Xiao Xu said coldly.
