C172 Princess Orchid(2)

"But that's not what I'm angry about. They're discussing to buy a present for King Chen. So …" It turned out that King Chen had no intention of marrying into the West. Since he had no intentions of doing so, then why did the East Abyss send this official to the West to deliver a letter that would allow the generations of the Kingdom of Eternal Rest to form an alliance with the West? That peaceful letter was equivalent to the letter Dongyuan wrote for Xi Lin, but in the end, the one who wanted to marry was unwilling? This is too bullying! "

Princess Lan Xun frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "But, marrying Duke Chen seems to only be a wishful thinking for Empress Dongyuan. Although Dongyuan's emissary went to my west to express this wish, in the end, she didn't say it explicitly. I heard that His Majesty wants us to choose one of the four adult princes to accompany him if he comes to the Eastern Abyss? "

"Speaking of which, it's even more infuriating. It's fine if King Chen doesn't want it, but King Mo doesn't want it either!" Why did he choose gifts for his brother with the zeal of a princess? [Isn't this marriage a hot topic? You want to give it to King Chen as soon as possible?]

"This... Are you thinking too much? "

"Definitely not! Look at the way he and the princess loved each other! He certainly would not give up his western-facing consort to be Prince Consort. "

Princess Lan Xun blinked, and her bright eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. She seemed to want to laugh again, but upon being fiercely glared at by Jing Yuan, the crescent moon instantly disappeared, her face as silent as a cicada.

The interior and exterior of the Sky Bearing Hall were brightly lit, while inside the hall, silk and bamboo twirled around the ears. The beautiful and limpid palace ladies shuttled back and forth like willow trees as they passed by Princess Lan Xun on the flowing water platform.

The minstrel's song was so beautiful that it made people's eyes dazzle.

"The song and dance style of Dongyuan is really different from the style of my Western Paradise." Princess Lan Xun smiled as she praised him.

The Emperor and Empress sat on the throne. Upon hearing the praise of Princess Lan Xun, they both respectfully and courteously returned a smile.

Beside and across the princess sat four adult princes. There were also underage princes and princesses who sat on the lower seat of honor. They were all well-mannered and well-mannered.

Xiao Yi Mo and Xiao Yi Jin were all talking to Princess Lan Xun. Only Xiao Yi Xiu, who had arrived late, was accompanied by his first wife, Gu Qing Li. This made the emperor's gaze darken.

It wouldn't be a problem for him to set up a new position, but knowing what the occasion was tonight, it was against the emperor's original intention to brazenly bring the first wife over.

But... Forget it, the Emperor thought to himself. He's just a sick, weak body. If the princess really set her eyes on him, he wouldn't be able to agree to a marriage.

Today, Xiao Yixiu had brought Gu Qing Li to show off his love for her. Although Xiao Yi Mo wasn't willing to bring his first wife Gu Qingruo out, the emperor had designated Gu Qing Ruo to dance with. Princess Lan Xun had to meet that talented girl whose name could shake the entire capital.

It was as if the Emperor was the same as her, unwilling to allow Princess Lan Xun to seduce Xiao Yi. She thought, it should be related to the previous case of Chi Yue, Ling YuanZhang's incident.

The only ones left were Xiao Yijin and Xiao Yiyan, the unmarried ones. The empress was still a bit nervous, but compared to Xiao Yijin, who had achieved great military merits, Xiao Yiyan seemed to be too young, and wasn't confident in his victory.

"Prince Mo, Princess Mo." Princess Lan Xun greeted her with a polite smile, as if she didn't mind that Xiao Yixiu had arrived late with her main wife.

Xiao Yixiu also returned the greeting with a smile on his face. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Jing Yuan behind her. He returned the gesture with a gentle smile.

Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and felt a strange unease in her heart, as if something had been seen through. She panicked and subconsciously shifted her gaze, but there was a faint smile on her face from Gu Qing Li.

From her point of view, this smile was clearly a bit mocking. It made her feel like a nameless flame had been ignited. She slightly raised her delicate chin and coldly looked at him.

Gu Qing Li didn't want to argue with her anymore, but he was somewhat unhappy with her hostility towards him. He turned his face away and said in a low voice to Xiao Yi Xiu, "She's glaring at me. She's not very satisfied with me."

Xiao Yixiu steeped the tea Gu without batting an eyelid, lowered his eyes, and said to the bowl of tea, "Forget it, I'm just a spoiled child."

Gu Qingli lightly pouted. "But she's staring at you. She doesn't like you, does she?"

"Do you think everyone is as blind as you are and like a person suffering from consumption?" As he spoke to here, Xiao Yixiu seemed to recall that he had to cough a few times out of habit. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his lips, coughing so hard that even the hot tea in the tea Gu splattered onto the back of his slender white hands.

Xiao Yijin suspended his passionate gaze on Princess Lan Xun as he looked at Xiao Yi with disdain and ridicule, and a trace of a cold smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yixiu put down the handkerchief that was covered in dark red blood. Gu Qingli saw that his lips were stained with blood. She raised his satin handkerchief and dabbed at it, causing him to give a small smile. Her eyes were filled with tender affection and boundless love.

Jing Yuan looked at the scene. Although he couldn't hear the whispers, she was still stunned for a moment. There was a faint sense of disappointment in his heart. What ability did that arrogant and annoying Princess Mo have to be able to firmly bind this man's heart?

He was well aware that the next best dance was none other than Gu Qingruo's move from her sleeve. At this moment, the empress had introduced the move to Princess Lan Xun, saying that the one performing the dance was the move from the sleeves of the capital's number one talent, Gu Qingruo.

As for Xiao Yiyan, from beginning to end, other than modestly and courteously greeting Princess Lan Xun when he first entered the hall, he hadn't even taken the initiative to speak to her. He didn't even make eye contact with her, as if he was wholeheartedly immersed in singing and dancing.

In front of him, other than Princess Lan Xun and Jingyuan, there was also Gu Qingli.

It was understandable that King Mo had deep feelings for his princess, but this king — he was also staring at her? Jing Yuan was confused.

The pair of eyes that should have been filled with emotions and smiles, completely devoid of any romantic feelings, only sadness and sadness.

"Yan'er, why are you so rude? Why don't you toast to the princess?" The empress reminded her in a reserved yet gentle manner. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with Xiao Yiyan's coldness and silence.

At this moment, all the cardinals and palace ladies entered in a line. They were all surrounded by colorful lanterns, colorful clothes, and all kinds of slim and beautiful palace maids. Gu Qingruo was in full dress.

Gu Qingruo was wearing a moon-white, flawless dress, with snow-white silk covering her shoulders. She was wearing a rainbow-colored, gradually changing immortal dress, and her water sleeves were torn to shreds as she danced around the capital. Her elegant figure, as well as the shadow of her sleeves, instantly attracted the attention of almost everyone present.

As Princess Lan Xun was admiring Xiao Yiyan, she raised her glass and made a toast to her.

Princess Lan Xun had no choice but to turn around and raise her cup, barely touching her lower lip. Without the slightest of care, she immediately cast her gaze towards that stunning move from her sleeve.
