C394 His gentleness

When the other official saw this, he knew that something was amiss. He immediately stepped forward and explained, "Young lady, although today is an archery competition, the truth is that you are choosing a lateral consort for His Highness the Crown Prince. Just now that you have won, not only can you take away the treasure bestowed by the crown prince, but you can also become his lateral consort.

After all, it was a national banquet. If he did not follow the rules, Royal Family of Chu would not let this woman off so easily.

Moreover, this matter was related to Gongsun Heng's face, so Gongsun Heng would definitely not allow this woman to flaunt herself in the Chu Country.

After hearing the official's explanation, Xie Qingrong's face turned cold. A pair of unusually bright, pitch-black eyes stared straight at Gongsun Heng, as if they wanted to see through Gongsun Heng to the end.

No wonder just now, Gongsun Heng had obstructed him completely, telling him not to participate in this archery competition. The other person who advised him to participate in the competition was Gongsun Yan.

His gaze swept from Gongsun Heng's body to Gongsun Yan's body, and then looked at Gongsun Yan for a while with a sinister smile, as though she was feeling guilty and nervous, and she lowered her head.

It was this action that allowed Xie Qingrong to completely understand that today's trap was actually Gongsun Yan's trick to make him jump into.

Good, very good, very good.

At this moment, the anger in Xie Qingrong's heart was building up, and was about to burst out, but the smile on her face was growing wider and wider, but there was no trace of happiness in her eyes, it was pitch black like an ancient well.

Xuanyuan Chen who was familiar with Xie Qingrong's emotions knew that was not good. But facing Gongsun Heng and Gongsun Yan who had created such a situation, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.

Long before Xie Qingrong's eyes turned, he had already faintly guessed the mastermind behind this plan.

Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Xie Qingrong's faint smile. "So the reason for today's competition is to elect the lateral consort for the position of Crown Prince, it has really broadened I's horizons."

"Just based on this little archery competition, choosing a Crown Prince's lateral consort is too much of a joke, do you not care about Royal Family of Chu's face, or do you think that His Highness's marriage is child's play?"

Regarding the selection of lateral consort, Gongsun Heng did not want to do it anyway. However, these ministers recommended them with all their might, so Gongsun Heng could only choose to do it this way. The reason why he did not stop Xie Qingrong just now, was precisely because he wanted to see how Xie Qingrong would resolve this crisis.

Indeed, he had already guessed that Xie Qingrong would win this competition. After all, he knew that all the young talents from the various families would win, and in terms of riding, no one could compare to Xie Qingrong.

If Xie Qingrong could successfully resolve this crisis, then she could also avoid this calamity. If not, Xuanyuan Chen would not sit still and wait for death, letting his main wife become his own lateral consort.

A strategy of killing two birds with one stone was indeed a good strategy.

The ministers who had come up with this plan did not expect that this woman would immediately have her top hat pulled off. No matter which one of them was the most dangerous, they would all be imprisoned.

Becoming the lateral consort was the dream of many women, why was this woman so disdainful?

The hearts of all the ministers present were filled with pain. Only the one who had stood out to explain to them earlier felt his heart thump loudly when he heard Xie Qingrong saying the two words "I."

However, all of the corresponding princes in the Chu Country did not accept this concubine. This meant that she was the consort of a country invited by the Crown Prince.

What should he do now?

This official's gaze swept across the crowd and he discovered that regardless of whether it was in terms of aura or temperament, he was an extremely outstanding man. He was definitely not someone of his caliber.

His gaze was fixated on the girl, and his gaze was so tender and loving that it almost made the girl fall in love with him.

Could it be that this lady is this person's concubine?

However, why did this person seem so familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before?

This official was racking his brains to think about Xuanyuan Chen's identity, when a suicidal official suddenly jumped out to take responsibility of Xie Qingrong.

"Crown Prince of Chu, you are just a little girl, it is your fortune to be able to obtain the favor of the Crown Prince, but you keep pushing it aside. Could it be that you are looking down on the prestige of the Royal Family of Chu? Or do you think that the Crown Prince is not worthy of you? "

Xie Qingrong was a little bit unhappy in her heart, when she saw someone who was not afraid of being scolded, she did not hold back, and stared at this official who was in charge of her office with her faint eyes.

He faintly said: "But I is already married. Could it be that this lord wanted I to marry him a second time? Even if I was happy, her husband would not allow it. Furthermore, His Highness the Crown Prince has the demeanor of a man of heaven. I is just a willow tree, how could he be worthy of the Crown Prince? "

When Xie Qingrong told the official that she was already married, the official looked as if shshehad eaten sh * t, her expression was extremely ugly. She opened her mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but did not know what to say.

He could only focus his eyes on the Crown Prince, hoping that he would say something.

The Crown Prince glanced at him coldly. There was a hint of warning in his eyes. However, his mouth curved into a smile.

His ice-cold face broke like ice, and he revealed an extremely rare smile.

Everyone present were shocked, especially An Muxi, he opened his eyes wide, and looked at the smile that flashed past Gongsun Heng's lips.

He had grown up with Gongsun Heng as his reading companion, and had never seen him smile before, nor seen him act with such interest.

All of these changes came from Xie Qingrong, could it be that this Xie Qingrong had some sort of strange magic on her body?

Gongsun Heng turned slightly, and said slowly with a not too loud voice: "Just now, the fact that several ministers chose a lateral consort is nonsense. The leading lady was the princess consort of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom, how could Gu Jue marry the princess consort of a Heavenly Saint to be the princess consort of the lateral consort? That would be too unfair to the Crown Princess. "

Gongsun Heng's plain and cold voice had just sounded out, leaving the entire audience in complete silence.

Only the official suddenly shouted loudly, "This official remembers! It's the Prince Chen! Now, you are the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom! "

Everyone present suddenly shifted their gazes from Xie Qingrong to this official. That gaze was rather strange, and the official was a little nervous from being stared at by so many people, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He finally remembered that the man whom he saw just now was Xuanyuan Chen!

Then the lady on stage would be Xuanyuan Chen's wife, Xie Qingrong!

However, what did the Crown Prince say just now? Why were everyone's strange gazes on him?

Xuanyuan Chen chuckled and walked out of the crowd. He held Xie Qingrong's hand and said: "I've let everyone down." Speak, hold Xie Qingrong's hand and took the lead to return to their seats.
