C383 Birthday

After he finished speaking, he took out a black colored invitation card from his bosom and placed it on the table, then moved it in front of Xie Qingrong and said, "One month from now, it will be Gu's birthday."

Seeing Xie Qingrong solemnly placing his invitation under her hand, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she quickly concealed it, and did not get discovered by Xie Qingrong.

This sudden appearance and disappearance of this smile was like the return of spring to the earth after the melting of the snow. The sun shining on the water was as bright and moving as the first ray of light, but no one could see it.

However, Gongsun Heng didn't seem to mind at all. After achieving his goal, he bid his farewell to Xie Qingrong and bid his farewell.

As for the three hundred thousand Army of Chu s that he instructed to station outside the Jiang Zhou City, it seemed like there was no news. They did not attack nor retreat, and just stood there quietly like a statue.

Xie Qingrong looked at the invitation carefully, the expression on his face was unfathomable. Black Turtle saw the strange expression on his master's face and asked, "Master, is there something wrong with this invitation?"

Slowly stroking the pattern embroidered with golden threads, the lines were extremely clear, the workmanship was indeed meticulous, it was just that, why did Gongsun Heng need to hand over the invitation?

As a Crown Prince of Chu, with such an illustrious identity, Gongsun Heng would definitely invite everyone to the birthday banquet for his. The invitation must be given to the Heavenly Saint's Emperor Xuanyuan.

Black Turtle saw the strange expression on his master's face and asked, "Master, is there something wrong with this invitation?"

Xie Qingrong nodded: "Crown Prince of Chu passing this invitation to me is truly strange. This invitation card should be lying on my royal father's study table, not in my hands. "

If someone knew and made use of her, they would definitely create a lot of ruckus. Just the fact that they were in cahoots with the Crown Prince of Chu was enough to pull her into a quagmire.

When Black Turtle heard this, he was startled, but very quickly the expression on his face became cold. He said in a low voice: "This Crown Prince of Chu definitely has bad intentions, if this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely cause a commotion and affect the relationship between master and His Highness."

"He, a dignified Crown Prince of Chu, definitely understood this logic, yet still acted in such a manner. He must have borrowed the mouth of an outsider to intentionally distance himself from the relationship between Master and His Highness."

"Yes." Xie Qingrong indifferently replied. She naturally knew the consequences of this matter, but she strangely believed in Gongsun Heng. With his calm and quiet appearance, he definitely would not do such a thing, probably just purely wanting to pass the invitation card to her.

It was just that he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of others.

"Mistress, should I tell His Highness about this?" Xuan Wu asked in a low voice.

"Just send him a message from the pigeon. This is not a big deal. If you don't use the pigeons in the backyard, then it will be a waste." Xie Qingrong said indifferently.

If this matter were to be used by someone in the future, they would at least be able to take it back.

After receiving Xie Qingrong's pigeon message, Xuanyuan Chen's face was frighteningly gloomy. The White Tiger had told Xuanyuan Chen about the conversation between Xie Qingrong and Black Turtle, and Xuanyuan Chen's mood had sunk a little over the past few days.

Now that he knew that Gongsun Heng had personally handed the invitation to Xie Qingrong instead of the emperor, the depression in his heart suddenly grew stronger, and layer after layer of anger filled his heart.

Lin Mu was so angry that the tea bowls on the table shattered. From far away, Lin Mu could hear the crisp sound of cups breaking from Xuanyuan Chen's tent.

He helplessly shook his head and entered the tent, looking at the furious Xuanyuan Chen and asked softly: "Your Highness, why are you so angry?"

He had spent the past few months in Xuanyuan Chen's fury, and as a result, he was already used to it. He could even console Xuanyuan Chen a little.

"Take a look for yourself." Throwing the letter in Lin Mu's direction, Lin Mu reached out and grabbed the letter in his hands, reading through ten lines at a glance. After reading it, he was a little confused.

He could not see anything out of the ordinary about the letter.

"Your Highness, this..." There's nothing unusual about this letter. Why are you so angry? " Lin Mu said in confusion.

It was just that Lin Mu did not understand the reason behind Xuanyuan Chen's anger and simply thought that something had happened to Xie Qingrong.

Xuanyuan Chen glared hatefully at Lin Mu, his gloomy gaze causing Lin Mu's heart to tremble a little, "I'm only not by A Rong's side, yet so many peach blossoms have actually appeared by A Rong's side."

First, Jiang Yizhou died for Xie Qingrong. It might not affect Xie Qingrong, but Xuanyuan Chen knew that this person must have some traces of him in Xie Qingrong's heart.

Secondly, it was Gongsun Heng. He was bold enough to directly give Xie Qingrong the invitation to symbolize the friendship between the two nations. In the future, if any misunderstandings were to occur …

Thinking about that, Xuanyuan Chen's heart became even more gloomy, and the expression in his eyes became more terrifying.

Lin Mu rubbed his forehead, but he still didn't quite understand what Xuanyuan Chen was thinking, and he consoled, "Your Highness, no matter how many peach blossoms the princess consort has, they must still be rotten peach blossoms. The Crown Princess is very close to you, and you are the official wife of the Crown Prince, so what do you have to worry about? "

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Chen gave a cold snort, but it could not be denied that after hearing Lin Mu's consoling, he felt much more satisfied in his heart, and said: "Say what you just said again."

Eh, Lin Mu felt helpless, but he repeated himself: "So what do you have to worry about?"

Xuanyuan Chen frowned, and denied it: "It's not this sentence, it's the previous one."

"The Crown Princess is your legal wife."

"I naturally understand that A Rong is my official wife. What I asked you to repeat was not this sentence, but the previous sentence."

Lin Mu finally understood what Xuanyuan Chen meant, and said with a smile: "The relationship between Your Highness and the Crown Princess is very close."

Seeing a smile suddenly appear on Xuanyuan Chen's face, Lin Mu didn't understand anything. He continued to praise, "The Crown Princess is only interested in Your Highness, if not, she would not do so many things that are related to Your Highness' life and death. I think that Your Highness should cherish the princess consort more. "

Xuanyuan Chen squinted his eyes. He knew that Lin Mu was saying that to fight for Xie Qingrong's sake. Go down first. I still have to carefully consider the matter of Gongsun Heng's birthday. "

Speak, after seeing Lin Mu leaving the tent, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, he silently looked at the pigeon that Xie Qingrong had delivered, and fiercely threw the letter to the side.

From the Misty Mountain's point of view, he had noticed that Gongsun Heng seemed to be paying special attention to him. Gongsun Heng's personality was extremely cold, as if nothing could pique his interest, and there was nothing in the world that caught his eye, yet he had other patience with Xie Qingrong.

As he thought about it, Xuanyuan Chen started to frown deeply.
