Mr. Xie San has long been accustomed to the spotlight, and no matter who the gaze comes from, it has no effect on him.
However, other men would only be distracted for a moment when seeing Third Master Xie. Unlike Prince Xichi, he was stunned for a moment, and threw everything else aside, as if Third Master Xie was the only one left in his eyes.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Minister Xie set his eyes on Xichi's envoy. A grown man, meeting his son, was even more exaggerated than a woman, which naturally aroused Minister Xie's dissatisfaction. He coughed, but after knowing the other party's identity, his attitude did not change, and he was polite and considerate. "It's good that Your Highness has arrived early." He nodded, stroked his beard, and chatted as if it were a casual conversation.
Prince Xichi came back to his senses, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Why did he feel that the old man's words, rather than directly disliking them for not following the rules, made people... dislike, hate? It didn't seem so, but he didn't expect that the Qi Dynasty Imperial City was so difficult to enter - of course, it was also because they didn't hide completely, after all, there were important things to do later, and if they hid too deeply and were dug out, it would not be very friendly - and the people they met afterwards were quite interesting and difficult to deal with, well, there was also one who was so beautiful that it made men stunned, but these had nothing to do with him, he was just here to go through the motions and act as a presence.
Prince Xichi then turned his gaze back from Third Master Xie's face, and sighed inwardly, "It's my own will." He was extremely natural, with no sign of his "gaffe" just now, and acted very seriously.
Just as Xiaocao and the others came out of the mansion, the slightly weird atmosphere suddenly changed. Wenren Taibo swept away the previous gloom, Shangshu Xie smiled quite warmly, not to mention Third Master Xie, who said that he had met Princess Anguo, but with a hint of sarcasm.
When Prince Xichi saw Xiaocao, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up several degrees, "Little Prince Chuci, meet Princess Anguo."
Chuci? This name is quite interesting. It was the first collection of romantic poetry in the history of the previous life. There is something similar in the history of this time and space, but of course the name is different. "Your Highness is polite."
Chu Ci wanted to get closer to Xiao Cao, but Wenren Taibo blocked him. If he was unhappy just now, he was angry now. A grown man first stared at the man in a daze, and now he was staring at his daughter? ! He didn't say his name before, but he was so impatient now. What on earth did Xichi send
Chu Ci retracted his foot, realizing his impoliteness and feeling a little embarrassed. However, he didn’t know if this man was thick-skinned enough, but he retracted his foot as if nothing had happened, causing the people following behind him to twitch their lips.
They really felt ashamed. Originally, it was wrong for them not to follow the rules, but Qi Chao just gave them a warning, which was considered even. But now, their behavior immediately made them feel guilty and weak.
Xiaocao felt pretty good. After all, there was no lustful look in the eyes of Prince Xichi when he looked at her. To be more precise, he was probably just a face-obsessed person, a normal infatuated reaction after seeing a beautiful woman. A very simple infatuated person who only looked at the face. However, at the moment, this behavior was indeed offensive.
"Minister Xie, Dad, let's go in first."
"The princess calls Lord Xie daddy? Oh, I remember now. Your Qi Dynasty has a princess with a different surname. It seems to be Princess Anguo."
Many people in and out of Qi Dynasty knew about this. Since Xichi came to celebrate Emperor Xuanren's birthday, he still needed to understand the basic situation. It was not surprising that he knew Xiaocao. What's more, did Xichi really not have any spies in Qi Dynasty
But it was obvious that Prince Xichi was quite curious about how she became a princess. He seemed to be a thick-skinned and unscheming person.
"Otherwise, when the prince meets our emperor, he can ask him why. After all, it was his decision." Xiaocao said with a smile.
Prince Xichi touched his nose and stopped talking. As an envoy, Emperor Xuanren was naturally the focus of his understanding. In any aspect, he was not a person he could be so presumptuous with. Apart from normal diplomatic relations, he would not dare to ask about other things even if he had a hundred courage. However, he still knew a little bit about some things.
Prince Xichi was an envoy, representing the Kingdom of Xichi. Moreover, he was a prince of the royal family, so his status was naturally noble. He was led directly to the group of people led by Prince Duan, where their status was equal and they could have "friendly" exchanges.
The others were led to another place. It seemed that they were worried about their own prince. The others in Xichi wanted to refuse, but the people in Qichao seemed soft but were actually tough. There were only a few of them, and they were powerless. Chu Ci seemed to be very generous. He waved his hand to the people who followed him and said, "Go ahead. This is Qichao, not the imperial capital of Xichi. I will definitely not cause trouble."
That look is really...
So, what exactly did Xichi send
With Prince Duan in Chuci's place, his background will be known clearly in the end. The remaining few people are Wei Tingyu's targets. Of course, he did not show up in person, and he did not even need to arrange anything in person. There are many people who can accompany guests in the princess's mansion, no matter they are civil or military. Wei Tingyu only needs to hide in the dark...
I don't expect to figure anything out right from the start. If that were the case, that would be a big problem.
