C317 cruise ship

The cold wind rustled, the winter wind rustled. The wind by the river caused Xie Qingrong's long hair to flutter in the wind, and her white skirt to flutter in the wind.

Xie Qingrong couldn't help but hug her somewhat shriveled arms. In her heart, she wasn't really that interested in this cruise, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Chen's promise the other time, she would have rather slept in her room.

"A Rong." Xuanyuan Chen stretched out his hand towards Xie Qingrong and watched her gently.

Xie Qingrong smiled as she placed her hand in Xuanyuan Chen's palm, and followed his lead into the pleasure boat.

Gongsun Heng sat upright in his black python robe. In front of him was a pot of tea with five porcelain cups on it.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and the other two went onto the cruise liner. Their long fingers held onto the porcelain white teacup, and their calm eyes swept across Xie Qingrong's beautiful face and the hand held by Xie Qingrong and her. A trace of unknown meaning flashed across their eyes, as they lowered their heads and took a sip.

"Why is Crown Prince Gongsun here drinking tea alone?" Shen Haoxuan shook his tasseled fan and approached Gongsun Heng, her beautiful face had a carefree smile on it.

"The scenery in the lake is beautiful. Drinking tea has a different flavor to it." Gongsun Heng said indifferently, he placed the teacup in his hand to the side.

Shen Haoxuan nodded his head in agreement. However, he did not hesitate to pour himself a cup of green tea.

"Crown Prince Gongsun is indeed extraordinary, the attainments of a person who can drink tea cannot be compared to a normal person." Shen Haoxuan praised him sincerely.

Gongsun Heng looked at Shen Haoxuan indifferently, and poured himself another cup of tea, bringing it in front of Xie Qingrong, "Princess Consort Chen, please drink this tea." This action was extremely strange.

Xie Qingrong thought back to what Xuanyuan Chen had said when she was angry, and felt that it was not without reason. She looked at Gongsun Heng steadily, but did not reject his good intentions.

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip. With the fragrance lingering at the corner of his lips, he praised: "Good tea, I didn't expect that Crown Prince Gongsun was a person who understood tea."

When Xuanyuan Chen saw the two of them chatting like they were familiar with each other, an unhappy mood arose in his heart. He only felt that the scene in front of him was extremely glaring, but he pretended that he was fine as he sat down beside Xie Qingrong.

He gracefully poured a cup of tea for himself and smiled towards Gongsun Heng, "Using tea in place of wine, this king offers a cup to Crown Prince Gongsun."

Seeing that, the Crown Prince Gongsun replied to Xuanyuan Chen with a teacup in his hand, expressionless.

Xie Qingrong lowered her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking, but when Xuanyuan Chen held Xie Qingrong's hand beneath the table, he realized that her fingertips were cold, and asked with concern: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Xie Qingrong shook her head, and laughed: "It might be because of the wind, it's fine."

"Men, bring a cloak." Gongsun Heng instructed indifferently.

Very quickly, Gongsun Heng's secret guard went to the cruise liner and retrieved a white cloak.

Xuanyuan Chen did not reject and donned the cape on Xie Qingrong's body. However, he tightened his fingers and the displeasure in his heart increased. At this point, if he still could not tell what made Gongsun Heng special to Xie Qingrong, then he would be a fool.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen's expression, Xie Qingrong knew that Xuanyuan Chen was not in a good mood. She smiled slightly towards Gongsun Heng and suggested: "Crown Prince Gongsun, today the wind is big, why not go inside and draw the wind?"

"Since it's Princess Consort Chen's suggestion, there's no reason why I shouldn't." Gongsun Heng nodded slightly, and agreed.

The inside of the cruise liner was much warmer than outside. There were no longer any gusts of cold wind, and the fire was blazing hot.

Xuanyuan Chen held the teacup and carefully played with it in his hand, then smiled. "This king thought that the Crown Prince Gongsun was busy with thousands of tasks everyday, but did not expect that the Crown Prince Gongsun would actually have the leisure to invite this king and his wife to cruise on a boat."

Gongsun Heng lightly glanced at it, and said: "Prince Chen is too kind. Although being alone is a given, but I still need some time to do what I want to do. What about Prince Chen? "

"Crown Prince Gongsun's words are indeed reasonable." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently and took a sip of his hot tea.

No one spoke as the atmosphere became awkward.

After a long period of silence, Gongsun Heng suddenly said: "I heard that Princess Consort Chen has a treasure map in her hands, I wonder if this rumor is true?"

Xie Qingrong frowned, the fact that she had a treasure map had never been made public, and all the traces from that incident had already been tidied up by the people of profound mechanism, how would Gongsun Heng know?

Laughing softly, his wrinkled eyebrows relaxed slightly, "Crown Prince Gongsun is joking. The treasure map in I's hands is something that the Crown Prince Gongsun gifted to the I and the Duke a few days ago.

Gongsun Heng shook his head slightly, "Naturally, the treasure map that I gifted to Princess Consort Chen a few days ago is not included in this. If we count that in as well, then Princess Consort Chen should already have two treasure map in her possession right now."

Xie Qingrong's fingers tightened slightly, "This joke that Crown Prince Gongsun is telling is not funny. This treasure map is so precious, owning one is already impressive enough. How could I have the ability to own two."

"Princess Consort Chen is well aware of whether or not Gu is telling a joke." Gongsun Heng said lightly, but did not continue with this topic. He changed the topic and said to Xuanyuan Chen: "Prince Chen will soon become Your Highness, the crown prince.

Xuanyuan Chen wanting to become Crown Prince was not a secret, after all, an imperial edict had been given to him that day. Xuanyuan Chen slightly nodded as he accepted Gongsun Heng's congratulations.

Gongsun Heng continued to speak: "However, I am here to remind Prince Chen that war is brewing, and that Prince Chen is prepared to fight."

He casually dismissed the incident of war as if it was of no importance.

Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Once the war breaks out, it is inevitable that the Chu Country will be involved in it as well. However, this king feels that the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country are always on good terms, and will definitely not add insult to injury when the time comes. "

"Of course." Gongsun Heng said indifferently, but only he knew what he was thinking.

At the border of the Mo Bei, Wu Huan had always been eyeing it covetously. Other than the Heavenly Sage, Chu Yue and Yue Yang knew about it as well.

However, Yue Country and the Heavenly Sage had signed a peace agreement before, Xuanyuan Chen was not worried that the Yue Country would add insult to injury, but he was definitely going to come and get a share.

On the surface, the Chu Country and the Sky Cloud Martial School were on good terms, but in reality, the two countries did not want to let go of each other.

Xie Qingrong placed the teacup on the table, threw down the words "Crown Prince Gongsun and the Duke", and then walked out.

The inside of the cruise liner was stuffy and hot, Xie Qingrong didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood at the bow of the boat to blow, but a familiar back was standing there.

The woman who could appear here right now should be the princess of the Chu Country, Gongsun Yan.
