As soon as Hu Zhijing finished speaking, it was Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai's turn to be surprised and stared at her delicate face with wet tears.
Hu Zhijing, however, raised her chin and said proudly to the two of them: "We, the children of Hu State, are all true-tempered and can afford to take things and let them go. I like you, so I respect your choice. I also like her, so I am willing to Fulfill you."
Xia Chu laughed out loud when she heard this, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her forehead, just like she did with Xiao Muhong.
"Hey, I heard from King Liang that you are only fourteen this year and haven't even had hairpins yet. I am already sixteen, so you should call me sister." Hu Zhijing was quite dissatisfied with Xia Chu's elder-like behavior. , frowning and speaking righteously to her.
"Jing'er, you have a mission, so why don't I." Xia Chu admired her free and easy attitude, and at this moment, she truly regarded her as her sister.
"I asked for it on my own, and came to Liang to get married for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. You didn't do it voluntarily, and you are not the only princess in Liang, so why do you have to accept this great righteousness yourself." Hu Zhijing curled her lips in disdain.
She is King Hu's favorite princess and the pearl on the grassland.
King Hu did not want her to go on a mission to make a marriage proposal, but none of her sisters wanted to stay away from their homeland.
She took the initiative to ask for help because she didn't want to see her father hurt.
If only she could spend her whole life in exchange for the eternal harmony between Daliang and Hu.
She is willing.
However, when she came to Liang Kingdom and fell in love with Xiao Mubai at first sight, her original love for the country was overshadowed by her love for children, and she began to think of elopement.
Now that she was rejected by Xiao Mubai, the proud girl Hu Zhijing naturally shouldered her mission again.
If she hadn't married Xiao Mubai, it wouldn't make much difference to her who she would marry.
But Xia Chu was different, so she wanted to help them.
Hu Zhijing looked at tonight's engagement banquet, which was not only luxurious but extremely extravagant.
I'm afraid that even if I come to Liang State to get married in the future, it won't be as grand as today.
After all, there are now five countries in the world.
The kings of the three kingdoms are all in this palace.
At this time, the seventh prince Liang Shaoxuan, who was sitting at the third table below and to the right of King Liang, raised his wine glass to her.
Hu Zhijing had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, cover her face and drink it all in one gulp.
After tonight, she will return with King Hu tomorrow.
She put down her wine glass and looked in the direction of Xia Chu, and saw her sitting at the first table below the Queen, her manners were steady and dignified, and she really looked dignified.
Hu Zhijing stood up without leaving a trace and walked towards her.
When Xia Chu saw her coming over, he ordered Mi Jiao to add a seat next to her.
After Hu Zhijing came over, he sat down directly, glanced at Yue Fengwan in the distance and asked, "You must have liked the regent, so you rejected my proposal that night."
Xia Chu also glanced at Yue Fengwan. He was wearing a bright red robe today, and he looked even more charming and handsome. He was not as handsome as a common man in this world.
She glanced at Hu Zhijing and saw that her expression was as usual. She couldn't help but asked curiously: "You seem to be attracted by the beauty of the regent."
Even Xia Chu, who was used to seeing handsome men, couldn't help but feel his breath hitch when he met Yue Fengwan for the first time.
Hu Zhijing, on the other hand, was much calmer and more composed.
"That's because this princess already has a sweetheart." Hu Zhijing turned to look at Xia Chu and blinked at her twice.
Xia Chu laughed and nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood what she was thinking.
Hu Zhijing sighed and said regretfully: "I really don't understand what your plans are. If you didn't care about the regent, why did you insist on rejecting my kindness in the first place? If the person he admired was me, he gave up all his glory. I will also travel around the world with him."
However, Xia Chu had no intention of entangled with her on this topic again, so as not to make her feel more hurt.
Besides, she couldn't explain it clearly.
"Jing'er, do you still remember one thing you lost to me in the competition between the two of us?" Xia Chu changed the topic and brought up the bet about riding and shooting in the eastern suburbs.
"With our current friendship, why do you bother me by mentioning that bet to disgust me? If you have anything to do, just say it." Hu Zhijing feigned anger.
"Tomorrow I will stay at Fushui Temple to pray for my father, queen and queen, for one year until the regent comes to marry me." Before Xia Chu finished speaking, he heard Hu Zhijing wailing.
Xia Chu didn't know why and looked at her searchingly.
Hu Zhijing said to her with a hopeless expression: "Why do you want to live in the temple? I originally thought that after getting married, you would be able to talk to me. We can still have nothing to do in our free time." Go hunting in the wild, if you leave like this, I will really be alone here in Daliang."
Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was what she was worried about. She couldn't help but reached out and patted her hand to comfort her: "Nonsense, after you got married, there will be a seventh prince. You and your wife will play the harp as a harp, and now you I can still have Mr. Qiao in my heart, but after I get married, I can no longer think about him."
"What, are you jealous?" Hu Zhijing joked.
"You're jealous." Xia Chu slapped her head.
Hu Zhijing was in pain and stared at Xia Chu with a frown.
But Xia Chu laughed and said to her: "Look at the Seventh Prince, his eyes are so distressed that they are almost dripping with pain."
Hu Zhijing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked over, and happened to meet Liang Shaoxuan's anxious eyes. It seemed that Liang Shaoxuan happened to see the scene where Xia Chu knocked on her forehead just now.
Liang Shaoxuan stared at Xia Chu angrily, and Xia Chu smiled and raised his hands to indicate that he was wrong.
Liang Shaoxuan then looked away and looked at Hu Zhijing.
"It seems that Luo Hua has no intention, but flowing water has feelings. Why don't Zhi Jing give him a chance to replace Mr. Qiao's place in your heart." Xia Chu was not so consoling because she was thinking about Xiao Mubai.
If it were anyone else, she would also hope that Hu Zhijing could wholeheartedly spend the rest of his life with Liang Shaoxuan.
After all, she was going to marry him.
If she still has some memories in her heart, it would be bad for herself and slightly unfair to Liang Shaoxuan.
Besides, since Liang Shaoxuan was the one chosen by Xiao Mubai.
She was naturally very relieved, and now that she saw that Liang Shaoxuan also had feelings for her, it only added fuel to the fire.
"You're so talkative. Didn't you just talk about the bet?" Hu Zhijing glared at her, her face turning red at her teasing.
Only then did Xia Chu remember the business. Being interrupted by her just now, he had forgotten what he was going to explain.
She glanced at the queen beside King Liang, lowered her voice and whispered into Hu Zhijing's ear.
"I want you to promise me that after you get married, you will take good care of the queen for me."
