As Xia Chu called out his name, General Shi's queue slowly came from a distance. Xiao Yanjun stepped forward to greet him, whispering to Shi Fuqiu without knowing what he was talking about.
Xiao Mubai saw that Xia Chu's expression seemed not quite right, so he gently touched the back of his hand with his fingertips.
Xia Chu raised her eyes and saw his searching eyes, smiled slightly, indicating that she was fine.
When the people in Beijing saw the Shi Jiajun's guard of honor, the Luan chariots supporting the Mongolian princess also lined up in two rows on the road side to watch.
If Xiao Yanjun is really made a prince, these two will be the king and mother of Xiao country in the future. If they don't admire their appearance now, they may not have another chance in the future.
Therefore, the North City Gate was very lively for a while, with people shouting and rubbing shoulders one after another. The people stretched their necks to get a glimpse of the Tianjia.
Xiao Yanjun's natural lotus figure is unrivaled in beauty, and he looks even more heroic and majestic when riding on a horse.
Many girls who had not left the court fell in love at first sight, and whispered to each other that they were extremely envious of the princess in the car. How lucky they were to be able to marry such a handsome and outstanding-looking man.
Zhao Xingwen had never seen such a grand occasion, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really different to be good-looking."
Xia Chu snorted, looked at Xiao Yanjun with contempt, and said to Zhao Xingwen: "He is flashy. You should go back and ask grandpa about the grand occasion when he returned to Beijing. That is the respect that the people have from the bottom of their hearts." And respect, this person below is just making fun."
Although Xiao Mubai didn't know why Xia Chu was so hostile to Xiao Yanjun, he knew early on that he hated him very much.
Therefore, I have long been accustomed to his words.
Xu Wenlan also saw Xiao Yanjun's duplicity and was extremely disgusted with him. At this time, when he heard Xia Chu's harsh words, he felt that he was deeply impressed.
Xu Wenlan stepped forward and asked Xia Chu: "In the eyes of the young prince, who do you think is the prettiest among the princes?"
As soon as Xu Wenlan finished asking this question, Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu, and even Xiao Zimu, who had never spoken, also looked at Xia Chu.
Xia Chu looked at the two of them, slapped the table and turned to Xu Wenlan, grinding his teeth and saying, "Do you want me to die?"
The rest of the people burst into laughter. When Xu Wenlan asked this in front of Xiao Mubai and Xiao Zimu, it was really difficult to answer. Xiao Zimu also smiled along with him.
Xia Chu chased Xu Wenlan and wanted to beat him up. Xu Wenlan hid behind Xiao Mubai. Xia Chu looked up and saw Xiao Mubai looking at him with raised eyebrows. She stopped chasing him and said with a slight 'cough': "I've finished watching the fun." , let’s go back and get ready, and it’s time to take Lan Lan into the palace for the banquet.”
The Mongolian princess arrived in the capital today, and the emperor held a banquet for hundreds of officials in the evening to cleanse her.
Xia Chu brought Lan Yuying with him, firstly because the emperor specifically asked him to pick up his sweetheart at the last family banquet and bring it to him to see, and secondly, because General Zhao also wanted to meet him. Of these three, tonight I will It was time for the Mongolian princess to make her gorgeous debut, so he had to add some trouble to this old friend.
If Xia Chu hadn't promised to bring Lan Yuying to attend this time, General Zhao would have gone to the inn himself.
Xu Wenlan didn't expect that Xia Chu would take Lan Yuying to the banquet. Originally, he and Xu Wanjun reluctantly postponed the dust-washing banquet in the evening, intending to stay in the inn to accompany her.
At this time, when Xia Chu mentioned Lan Yuying's name, he immediately lost his mind. He pulled Xiao Mubai to stand up and rushed back.
Xia Chu reached out and held the empty space, pointed at Xu Wenlan's leaving back and said, "You guys, your poaching is becoming more and more blatant."
Xiao Zimu chuckled lightly, put his shoulder on his shoulder and gave him a gentle push: "Let's go."
Because tonight was the official banquet, the road to the palace was very crowded. Although others always gave way to their carriages, they still took some time to get back and forth. When they finally arrived outside the palace gate, they happened to meet their colleagues. Du Hanfei came to the banquet.
Du Hanfei got out of the car before them. He didn't want to chat with them and wanted to go ahead. He was hurriedly preparing to enter the palace, but was stopped by Xiao Zimu who had just got off the carriage: "Master Du, what a coincidence."
Du Hanfei's body froze when he shouted. The guard guarding the palace gate saw that he was stunned and kindly reminded him: "Prime Minister Du, His Majesty the Seventh Highness is calling you."
Du Hanfei couldn't pretend to be deaf this time, so he had to calm down and turn around with a warm smile on his face. He led his two sons to greet Xiao Zimu and the others: "Hey, old minister I was blind and failed to see clearly that the carriage actually carried His Highness Seventh, His Highness King Mo and the Young Marquis."
Zhao Xingwen and Xu Wenlan, who came down next, were no match for them, so they still had to salute Du Han. Lan Yuying, who stood between Xu Wenlan and Xia Chu, also planned to salute, but Xia Chu pinched her palm, and her leg had not yet been lifted. He bent down and stood up straight again.
Du Hanfei glanced at the veiled Lan Yuying, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is this?"
Xia Chu didn't answer when he heard the words, but asked a question: "Du Chengxiang doesn't seem to be looking good."
After Xia Chu said these words, Du Hanfei's face became even more ugly. Although Du Kun didn't know why his father was acting like this these days, it was obvious that he still softened his words: "Maybe my father has been tired from worrying about my wedding recently. "
"I almost forgot. In six days' time, the wedding of the eldest son of the Du family to Miss Shi will be a big gift." When Xiao Zimu said the last sentence, he turned to look at Du Hanfei.
When Du Hanfei heard the words 'a great gift', his expression turned pale instantly, and his body swayed slightly.
Du Kun gave him a little support, frowned and looked at Xiao Zimu, and after a moment he respectfully replied: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Zimu smiled: "That's right. Why doesn't Prime Minister Du enter the palace?"
Xiao Zimu's smile was as refreshing as usual, but Du Hanfei's eyes suddenly turned cold. He steadied himself and said in a deep voice: "Your Highnesses, please go first."
Xiao Mubai was too lazy to be polite to him and took the lead towards the palace gate, followed by the others. Du Kun looked at the backs of those golden people and asked in a low voice beside Du Hanfei: "When did your father turn against them?"
Even though his voice was soft, Du Ming, who was also standing next to Du Hanfei, heard these words and couldn't help but sneered: "These guys were not in Beijing some time ago, and it will only take seven or eight days for them to come back." , how could my father turn against them?"
Du Hanfei didn't want to pay attention to him after hearing this, and said to Du Kun gently: "Just focus on this matter as soon as you get married. You don't need to worry about fatherhood."
Du Hanfei looked at the figures in the distance who entered the palace gate and drifted away.
I thought to myself, what’s more, you can’t handle this...
