Chapter 284: Thunderstorm
After welcoming the honor guard of Princess Yuanxi and her relatives into the city, she was placed in the Changyang Palace on the south side of the Showa Palace for a short rest, and after Emperor Zhou summoned her, she could enter the Taiji Hall with her brother King Heng.

At that time, there was no one in the inner hall, and all the maids who were waiting were sent out by her on the grounds that they were tired of traveling and did not want to be disturbed.
She walked alone in her long skirt, pacing around the hall, casually looking at the exquisite and gorgeous decorations and ornaments around her, moving her eyelashes slightly, but her tone seemed a little disapproving.
"It is said that the palace where the Son of Heaven lives this week is majestic and magnificent, and the king is steaming, but it doesn't seem to be much better than our Da Chu, but it's just a little more flashy and a little less humane. ”
Her eyes loosened as she spoke to herself, and with a sideways glance, her gaze fell on the rectangular carved wooden box she had brought with her from her home country, which was being placed alone on the dressing table.
She approached slowly, raised her hand and opened the lock of the wooden box, only to see that it contained something that resembled a scroll.
When she took out the scroll and carefully pushed the scroll away, the light in her eyes gradually gathered into bright stars, and even a comfortable smile overflowed from her mouth.
The volume depicts a young man with a puffy temperament.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Yan is like jade, well-dressed, and dignified body, under a closer look, this eyebrow looks like Gao Heng at a glance.
Princess Yuanxi stared at this portrait, two shallow blush flew on her cheeks, and her eyes showed a look of joyful expectation.
Although this portrait has made people fascinated, it is not as good as the real person. ”
She whispered, earnestly and full of joy, until she heard steady footsteps behind her, and then she quickly closed the scroll and reluctantly put it back in the box.
"Xi'er, I'm going to meet the Emperor of Zhou in a while, why aren't you ready to prepare?"
At this moment, it was her brother, Heng Wang Yuanpeng.
I saw him enter the inner hall in a hurry, and saw Princess Yuanxi standing there in a daze, so he walked quickly towards her.
"There's nothing to prepare, do you think that with Xi'er's appearance, you will lose the face of our Da Chu?" Princess Yuanxi raised her chin and smiled, and then said with a little disdain, "Besides, the person I want to marry is not the emperor of Zhou, I don't care about his impression of me." ”
"Xi'er, you... Do you really like that Yan King Gao Heng so much?"
As he got closer, Yuan Peng naturally noticed the box containing the portrait behind his sister, his face suddenly became a little awkward, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still asked with an embarrassed face.
"Why do you ask that, brother? Don't you know?"
As soon as she heard Yuan Peng mention Gao Heng, Princess Yuan Xi, who was still quite imposing, became much softer, and there was a trace of shyness on her face.
"That's... Xi'er, if, I mean, the person you're going to marry isn't King Yan, what would you do?"
"If it weren't for King Yan, who else would there be? If I hadn't known that I was going to marry him, I would rather die than leave my mother country to come to make peace......
Princess Yuan Xi took two steps closer, stared at Yuan Peng with a very surprised expression, and her tone became a little colder.
"Brother Huang, you are so dignified, why did you suddenly say such a thing?"
"I... I..."
Yuan Peng was uncomfortable by Princess Yuanxi's eyes, and he became more and more weak, and after his eyes flickered a few times, he stomped his foot heavily, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at Princess Yuanxi very seriously.
"Xi'er, it's all here, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, the person you want to marry is not King Yan, but King Jin, the sixth prince! At the beginning, my father was afraid that you would not marry, and he forced him to die, so he lied and deceived you. And as far as I know, that King Yan has already married a princess, even if the emperor of Zhou agrees, his father will not agree to marry you to him as a concubine!"
Yuan Peng's voice was loud and the words were clear, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it smashed on Princess Yuanxi's heavenly spirit cover.
Her face sank suddenly, and she looked at Yuan Peng in a daze, unable to tell whether she was shocked or angry, and after a while, she asked in an extremely cold tone with a slight trill.
"What you say, it's all true?"
Seeing Yuan Peng nodding, Princess Yuan Xi suddenly looked at her, and there was an extra long whip in her hand, and before Yuan Peng could stop it, she had already waved it towards her brother violently, if it wasn't for Yuan Peng's timely dodge, this half of the shoulder would be wasted.
"You dare to lie to me! You and your father actually lied to me, this is my marriage event, and it is the happiness of my life!"
Princess Yuanxi raised her skirt and flew her sleeves, and the long whip rolled to the ground, and for a while, the sound of utensils in the palace was loud, and Yuan Peng was frightened to retreat again and again, regretting that she should not be soft-hearted for a while, and she should not tell the truth to this fierce sister at this time.
"Xi'er, don't be impulsive, my father was also forced to make this decision out of desperation, I am afraid that you will do stupid things after learning the truth, and you don't have the intention to expire for you, you have to think about it for him. ”
Yuan Peng dodged and persuaded in a good voice, and even his forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.
"Think about him, then have you thought about it for me? It turns out that in your eyes, I am just a political gift that can be sent back and forth, how can you find out in your conscience now that you know that you want to tell me? Why don't you wait for me to spend a candle night in the cave room, and after seeing that King of Jin, you will directly let me crash to death!"
As she spoke, Princess Yuanxi rolled up the smoker on the table with a long whip and threw it at Yuan Peng, choking on the white sandalwood soot on his face.
"Xi'er, how can you talk like that? My father told me that I must not mention a word to you until you are married. I saw that you never forgot that Gao Heng, and I didn't want you to be disappointed with your expectations, so I risked my life to tell you, you can't sprinkle all your anger on me. ”
"Don't you want my expectations to be disappointed? Then you pretend to be a good person and tell me now, won't my expectations be disappointed? Okay, you Yuan Peng, I have been trusting you so much since I was a child, but I didn't expect you to join forces with my father to deceive me this time!"
With a crisp and powerful whipping sound, Princess Yuanxi threw a whip down heavily on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a mess all over the ground.
At this moment, she suddenly stopped swinging the whip, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Because she had been using force, and because of the unbearable relationship in her heart, she stood there with her head down, panting heavily, making it impossible to see what expression was on her face.
After a long time, I saw her calm down her heaving chest, slowly raised her head, and looked at Yuan Peng with a very resolute look, biting every word hard and clearly.
"Brother Huang, let me tell you, in this life, except for Gao Heng, I Yuanxi, no one will marry!"
