"Why is the Princess of An Country blowing the wind here alone?" Xie Qingrong leaned on the bow of the ship, her expression indifferent. Waves of cold wind blew her long, ink-black hair away, dancing in the wind.

Gongsun Yan lightly glanced at Xie Qingrong, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Then what about Princess Consort Chen?"

Xie Qingrong reached out and pushed the hair on the side of her face that was swaying slightly in the wind to the side of her ears, then said with a slight smile: "It's a little hot inside, so you should come out and take the wind."

At that time, Gongsun Yan was extremely silent. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she almost never spoke too much, but every time she spoke, she would bring up the crux of the matter, and she was an extremely intelligent woman.

She admired such an intelligent woman. However, Gongsun Yan, who was the object of the marriage, was also extremely pitiful. She couldn't even choose her own marriage, and this was probably the sorrow of the women of this era.

Although her own marriage was also under control, it was fortunate that she met Xuanyuan Chen who was extremely good. Furthermore, they shared a mutual understanding and love each other.

Gongsun Yan said: "Princess Consort Chen is somewhat different from what I imagined."

"Oh?" Xie Qingrong was interested, and asked: "What's the difference?"

Gongsun Yan heard the interest in Xie Qingrong's words and chuckled, "General Xie is a divine general of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom, he has received great attention from many people. However, he has a complaint.

"I always thought that Miss Xie who had grown up in solitude was either weak or gloomy, but I never expected that Miss Xie would actually be so dazzling. Even when standing with Prince Chen, it would still be the radiance of the sun and moon."

What Gongsun Yan said was the truth. She had never been so sincere before.

She was able to stand out in the Royal Family of Chu and had the title of the princess of An Nation. This kind of person was someone who played with rights and techniques, and the words that came out of her mouth were things even she couldn't believe.

This was one of the few times in her life when she was sincere.

Xie Qingrong sneered, lowering her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the flowing light in the depths of her eyes, and said softly: "I is not as good as you say. Furthermore, I have only seen Princess Gongsun a few times, how can I be so sure? "

She had never felt that she was a dazzling person, doing everything she wanted to do. However, after getting closer to Xuanyuan Chen, she was able to feel the changes in her body.

These changes were so silent that she sometimes didn't even notice them.

"Princess Consort Chen should understand one thing. The imperial court and the imperial harem have always been the darkest places in the world. Was I really able to become the princess of An Kingdom just because of luck?" Gongsun Yan said indifferently, but her tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

Even if she didn't fight for it, she would still become a thorn in someone's side, so why wouldn't she fight for it?

"So what if I become the Princess of An? I heard that when Princess Gongsun becomes the target of marriage, whether it's Heavenly Saint or Yue Country, you will only be a decoration. " Xie Qingrong raised his eyebrows.

"This is the sorrow of the royal family, this is the sorrow of the princess. Everyone is controlled by the person in the highest position, and we are just a bunch of ants. " Gongsun Yan said somewhat sorrowfully.

This was the first time she had said such heartfelt words in front of a stranger she was almost unfamiliar with. She had thought that she would forever keep them hidden in her heart, but she had never thought that at this moment, she suddenly had the desire to confide in him.

"If the wangfei heard these words, then she should just forget them." Gongsun Yan said calmly.

It was just a whimper, so why take it seriously?

Xie Qingrong smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry Princess Gongsun, I am not one of those untactful people, and I am not one of those foolish people."

Gongsun Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Just as sshe was about to say something about wind blowing, he saw the white cloak that Xie Qingrong was wearing. Wasn't this the cape of her royal brother?

He silently swallowed down his words, and only looked at Xie Qingrong with an unknown intent.

Xie Qingrong felt that Gongsun Yan's gaze was a little strange, she looked at her own body, but did not feel that anything was amiss. She frowned and asked: "Is there anything wrong with I? Why is Princess Gongsun's gaze so strange? "

Gongsun Yan paused, she did not know how to answer Xie Qingrong's question. She thought for a while, then asked gently, "I wonder where this cloak came from, Princess Consort Chen?"

Xie Qingrong said: "This is the cloak that Crown Prince Gongsun had ordered the guards to bring over for I to wear. Is there something wrong? "

The only thing wrong with this cloak was that it belonged to her royal brother. However, how could she say such words? Although she knew her royal brother's temperament was cold, he was not someone who could donate his cloak to others.

However, the group of guards following their royal brother couldn't give their royal brother's cape directly to the Princess Consort Chen. Since that was the case, the only possibility was that their royal brother ordered them to do so. This …

Gongsun Yan was slightly troubled, and regretted showing that expression in her eyes just now.

He pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

Xie Qingrong saw the problem that Gongsun Yan was facing, and explained in a considerate manner: "Princess Gongsun has something to say, just say it, there is no need to stutter, there are only the two of us here, and no other outsiders."

"This... "This …" Gongsun Yan mumbled those two words, and in the end, closed her eyes, clenched her teeth and said: "This cloak was meant specially for royal brother. I just saw Princess Consort Chen wearing royal brother's cloak, I was slightly surprised, and did not have any other intentions."

After Xie Qingrong realized that the cloak on him was Gongsun Heng's, she immediately took it off. Even though it was clear that she was going to do it herself, she still didn't want any unnecessary things to happen to him.

If Xuanyuan Chen knew about this, he would be jealous again.

He placed the cloak in front of Gongsun Heng and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince Gongsun. Since I feels that his body is warm now, I will return the cloak to His Highness, the Crown Prince."

Then, he sat down beside Xuanyuan Chen.

Gongsun Heng's eyes glanced at the folded cloak in front of him, and his eyes dimmed. Although it was just for an instant, Xuanyuan Chen was able to see through it.

Xuanyuan Chen pinched his wine cup without batting an eyelid. His expression was a little cold, and a hint of a cold smile appeared on his lips. "This duke thanks Your Highness for your kindness and concern on behalf of this king's consort as well."

Gongsun Heng was not a slow person, when Xie Qingrong brought the cape back, he already understood, Xie Qingrong probably knew that the true owner of the cloak was herself, and the only one who had interacted with Xie Qingrong before, who knew about the cape, was Gongsun Yan.
