In fact, Helian Yu was not someone who was good at flirting with women. Even when he and Gu Qing Li leisurely sat down to drink tea, and chatted about the things that happened in the south, the north, the east and the west, he would mostly lead the conversation.
However, this guest was very considerate and courteous. Even the domineering and baleful aura coming from the military general had been greatly restrained when they first met. Gu Qingli had no choice but to explain in detail with him.
In any case, Xiao Yi was the host and represented the nation of Dongyuan. In general, Gu Qing Li advanced and retreated at a moderate pace.
Helian Yu nodded his head from time to time as he listened. He felt that apart from her outstanding skills, cool and elegant looks, Princess Mo was also speaking in an extraordinary manner. Compared to his sister, who always boasted that she was more talented than a man, she was actually more arrogant.
However, after the incident with Yu Mu Xuan, Helian Yu no longer had the opportunity to chat with Gu Qing Li alone. Xiao Yi Xiu said that the front courtyard had set up a feast to entertain the guests and to invite Crown Prince Helian to move forward to have a cup of wine with them.
Helian Yu could not refuse and could be considered to be courteous as he thanked King Mo for his kindness.
Xiao Yi Xiu turned his body to the side and ordered Suifeng, "The guests who were originally ordered to attend the banquet are to leave. All the ingredients are to be paid for by the Wang Mansion."
Since he was in a hurry to arrive at the palace, the banquet could only be arranged for the guests at the banquet. Since it was noon, he did not want the palace to be so grand and grand as to only be prepared in one of the famous buildings in the capital.
Who would have thought that Helian Xianzi would sneak out of the carriage midway and secretly lead a team of her ladies' army straight into the Prince's Mansion to provoke them? With this, it was already past noon. If he rushed to the other party's house and ordered more hot dishes to be served, it would only delay the time. He might as well hold a feast at the palace.
Moreover, the Emperor might have regarded Helian Yu as a rare and precious guest, but Xiao Yixiu and the Emperor didn't care about each other. They were completely on the battlefield fighting to the death, and had once wanted to kill each other.
When Helian Yu was bedridden with injuries and Xiaoyu was poisoned, the two countries had agreed on a treaty to negotiate peace. They could still put aside their differences when they saw each other, and they had already shown extreme benevolence and benevolence when they came to talk to each other courteously. It was absolutely impossible for them to be friendly with each other.
Helian Yu was arrogant and unruly, a master who looked down on everyone else. The two of them did not like each other, and if it wasn't for Gu Qing Li's mediating, the two of them probably would have treated each other as ice.
When Helian Yu heard that Xiao Yi Xiu had ordered them to withdraw, he casually asked Gu Qingli, "Is that Mo Shang the capital's most famous restaurant?"
Gu Qingli agreed before continuing, "If you're free another day, would it be possible for the wangfei to invite me over to take a seat?"
Gu Qingli gave a gentle smile, "His Highness the Crown Prince has come from afar and will obey his orders. My Prince will definitely instruct them one day to prepare the most unique wine and food."
Helian Yu's eyes turned cold. "I only said that I want the imperial concubine to accompany me. As for the prince, as a pillar of the Dongyuan Dynasty, he's busy with government affairs. I presume he has no time to accompany me around the clock."
Xiao Yi Xiu smiled and said, "I am roughly aware of the Northern Chu's feelings, men and women do not guard well against formalities, but this place is the Eastern Abyss, and respects the scholarly and scholarly, paying particular attention to Confucius' etiquette, so men and women should not be too intimate with each other. Therefore, the words of the crown prince are not suitable in the East Abyss. "
In the eyes of the people of Dongyuan, it could be said that the Northern Chu was a "Barbarian Country", with its culture still undeveloped, with neither men nor women on guard, with both men and women working and resting together on a daily basis in the country. However, when it came time to travel together, women would often show up to support their families and work together, and although there were few who were involved in the politics discussion, they were not like Dongyuan, who advocated from three sides to four sides, strictly prohibiting men and women from travelling together.
Helian Yu's eyes narrowed as a cold light shot out. He was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Yi Xiu's words. He turned to look at Gu Qingli. "For a girl like Princess Hua-Yang, if she's not an ordinary girl, could she be like the delicate girl with the three inch-long golden lotus and be subservient to others?"
Gu Qingli's brows knitted, but she didn't know how to reply.
She knew that Xiao Yixiu wasn't a pedant, and these words were just to block Helian Yu's mouth, to put an end to his thoughts of pestering her. However, Helian Yu had obviously taken it for real and had been staring at him for a long time, asking for an answer.
Xiao Yixiu also shifted his gaze to his. The color in his eyes had turned dark. It was obvious that he didn't want her to agree to Helian Yu's request.
Gu Qingli thought for a moment and said, "Crown Prince Helian's understanding might be wrong. The reason I came and went with you all day long was for the sake of a couple's feelings. Even if it's about hospitality, it's to show respect.
When Helian Yu heard her gentle rejection, he no longer forcefully requested it. A cold smile suffused across his lips. Evidently, he didn't listen to her gentle explanation.
Xiao Yixiu didn't care about his feelings. The three of them didn't talk much after they took the seats. Gu Qingli could sense Helian Yu's cold indifference, so she didn't say much.
During the meal, they only heard the occasional toast and pleasantries, no longer conversing.
After the meal, Helian Yu thanked the couple for their hospitality and got up to leave. However, he left Helian Xianzi at the Residence of Mo. He only said that she had been infected by bee venom and was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to take action.
On the other hand, Xiao Yixiu escorted him out of the inn, all the way to Cheng Yang Inn.
When Gu Qingli saw the cold-faced crown prince leave, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Actually, she didn't have any ill feelings towards Helian Yu. She could also understand that he and Xiao Yi Xiu had been natural enemies, and they would not give up until one side was dead. However, this person inexplicably had a good impression of her, which made her wary of him.
Calming down, Gu Qingli took out the wasp from the handkerchief. She wanted to take a good look at it, but she was surprised when she opened it.
The wasp that should have been dead, suddenly spat out silk and formed a cocoon inside the handkerchief. In the time it took to eat a meal, a black cocoon had formed and wrapped itself around it.
The variation of this insect far exceeded Gu Qingli's knowledge. All the insects she knew that could form cocoons were caterpillars that crawled and crawled. They were similar to green insects and silkworms. When had they ever seen bees that could form their own cocoons?
They had never heard of a bee that could build a nest, but they had never heard of one that could form a cocoon, and the speed at which the cocoon was forming was simply too fast.
Gu Qingli's hand trembled and she almost threw the black cocoon to the ground. She composed herself, took out a small bottle of goat fat and put it into the cocoon, as she was afraid that if she wrapped it up again in the silk cloth, it would produce some sort of mutation. At this point, he was certain that the 'bee' was definitely an ordinary wild bee. Recalling the simple treatment that Zhou Zhen had used on the bee sting, he was afraid that it would not be so easy.
Anxious, she turned to head towards Yu Mu Xuan.
It was not because they were worried about that annoying princess, but because they did not want to provoke a dispute between the two countries.
