C168 Princess's arrival

"Greetings, Empress. Greetings, Your Highness." The guards and palace maids fell to their knees in panic.

The empress waved her hand and said coldly, "I'm only here to take a look at Bei'er. There's no need to put on such a show of resistance."

The guards didn't dare to say anything and could only retreat.

The queen did not knock, but only went down the hall and gently opened the window that faced the veranda.

Xiao Yiyan stood at the window and looked inside. After searching for a long time, he finally saw the curled up figure of Xiao Yi Bei from a corner of the room.

Heavens, how was this still that elegant and elegant elder brother of his? The noble aura of the Eastern Palace disciples from the past had completely vanished. Those blank eyes, worn out clothes, and a face full of stubble, all of this made him look completely different from a prince.

The empress covered her face and sobbed softly.

"Too... "Elder Brother Huang …" Xiao Yiyan didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yi Bei heard the voice, but didn't show any excitement as he threw himself in front of the window to have a deep relationship with his brother. He only indifferently glanced at him, then continued to look forward with a lifeless and empty gaze, as if there was something in the air that he was interested in.

"Imperial Mother, how can you … Can you watch him become like this? " After all, he was the blood brother of a mother and kin. Even if he wasn't particularly close before, Xiao Yiyan still felt that it was unbearable.

"He has already become like this, but it's not what the Queen wants." The empress looked desolately at Xiao Yiyan. "Do you think your mother's heart won't ache when she sees him like this?"

"But …" At the very least, you can ask royal father to send two more palace maids to take care of him, wash his face, and fix his condition. "

"That's not what he needs." There was a calmness in the queen's bleakness, and she stared at him.

"Why didn't the Queen Mother find a way to have someone take care of him more? Because the Queen wants you to see him in such a miserable state today. She wants you to remember how he was framed and turned into this! "If you don't rise up, your mother will be as miserable as he is sooner or later. She might not even be able to get as far as he is now!"

"No mother, you didn't do anything wrong."

The empress said sternly, "Did you think your brother did something wrong? He was a bit of a lustful person, but he wasn't so shameless as to be incestuous and incestuous! Do you think that when your royal father completely sealed off this matter, your mother would not be able to find out the truth behind Bei'er's crippled and imprisonment? When had he ever touched Ji Rong Hua? Yet, he, the dignified crown prince, was in such a state as well, not to mention that unlucky Ji Renhua! "Yan'er, you're in the center of power, and you're also caught in the vortex of power. If you don't harm others, you'll be hurt by others!"

Naturally, Xiao Yiyan had also heard of that matter from the empress before. He also felt that it was inconceivable. Now that he heard the empress's words, he felt even worse and kept silent.

"Yan'er, if you don't want to be framed one day like Bei'er and end up in a miserable state like this, you better listen to your mother and get married to Princess Xi Lin!"

When Xiao Yi Xiu returned to the manor, he was also somewhat preoccupied with his own matters.

Seeing the situation, Gu Qingli asked, but he didn't conceal anything, speaking directly about Princess Lan Xun's marriage.

Gu Qingli was also extremely shocked. The Emperor had actually made the Fourth Prince compete. Didn't this mean that Xiao Yixiu could also be selected by Princess Lan Xun?

"If the princess falls for you, will I be reduced to a secondary concubine, and she will be righteous?"

Xiao Yi Xiu used silence to answer her question.

"That's good. Hurry up and curry favor with that whatever princess. You will become the greatest contributor to the eternal restoration of the East Abyss."

"Stop messing around, how could I possibly marry that princess? I'm currently thinking of ways to deal with this matter and not meet with the princess."

He knew that he was speaking the truth, so he forced a smile. "What is there to say? We'll deal with it when the enemy comes, and water will flood the earth. If you cough a few more times, could it be that the princess will definitely marry someone like you, who is crippled and has tuberculosis?"

"Who knows what's on the young lady's mind." Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head. "But I'll try to get her and Ah Yan together."

"But isn't that exactly what the empress wants?"

"That is a matter for the future. We can only take one step at a time. From the looks of it, Ah Yan has a higher chance of winning. Furthermore, if he were to marry the princess, it would not be too disadvantageous to me.

Gu Qing Li nodded and sighed.

Three days later, the Princess of the West, Lan Xun, arrived at the Eastern Abyss. Temporarily staying at the Cheng Yang Inn in Beijing.

At the beginning of the day, there was only the envoy of the Southern Moon. At this point, he had long since left the inn, and only Princess Lan Xun was staying in.

A Six Paths Flower Cover Fragrance Carriage stopped at the Cheng Yang Inn. There were waves of shouts from the front and back as the guards marched in a grandiose array to the end of the long street. There were at least two to three hundred guards.

A princess with such grandeur was already far superior to the envoy of the Southern Moon.

A soldier respectfully lifted up the curtain of the carriage and saw a slender, dainty, and silky yellow embroidered foot step out. On the foot of the foot was embroidered a gentle, playful, and mischievous duck.

She was followed by a pale blue fairy dress, with a cloud of elixirs, light and light, winding around the feet of the carriage.

The surrounding passersby all looked over in curiosity. Although they did not know who this person was, they knew that all those who entered the inn were important guests of the emissary. However, looking at such a luxurious scene and such expensive dress, it was strange that this envoy was actually a woman.

Finally, the woman in the carriage was helped off the carriage by a servant girl.

It was only a 15 or 16 year old girl. Her beautiful oval face had a pair of bright black eyes that were intelligent and mischievous. She was curiously looking around.

"This, I presume, is Princess Lan Xun?"

Not far away, a youth holding a jujube red horse was stopped outside the guards. After seeing the girl, he took a few steps forward.

In the blink of an eye, the young girl wearing the Fairy Guarding Dress looked at him, the curiosity in her eyes growing even stronger.

The young man in front of her was wearing a golden brocade robe with bright peach blossom eyes. His eyes, which had originally been fluttering in the wind, now had a trace of worldly wisdom and calmness. His thin lips curved into a faint curve as he laughed in a distant and polite manner.

"You are?"

"I am the seventh prince of the Eastern Abyss, the Chen-Emperor Xiao Yiyan. I have come under the order of the Imperial Princess to welcome you." He actually came alone and did not reveal his identity. No wonder he was blocked by the guards of the western border.

The girl smiled, revealing her white teeth, looking friendly and lively, "Oh! Get Prince Chen over here quickly. "That's right, this princess is the envoy from the west, Yan Lanxun.

Xiao Yiyan nodded, but only had one thought passing through his mind. What Heavenly Immortal appearance? It was indeed an exaggeration. It was not as famous as meeting him in person. This thought quickly dispersed with the wind. He walked past the guards and made a gesture of invitation. He led the way and entered the inn.

He did not say that he had only come under the orders of his mother. The Emperor did not know that he had come alone to greet Princess Orchid Xunxi.

Swallow Phoenix Xunxun looked left and right, his face full of excitement. It was as if he were extremely curious about everything in the Eastern Abyss, causing her heart to be overjoyed.
