It was a March when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the wind and sand were still long and the grass was decaying, and occasionally a few tired birds could be heard circling overhead, leaving a long and distant song. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, Princess Yuanxi was in the year of cardamom, and she had been apprenticed to Lingyun Ju Jingci since she was a child, and she would live with her for half a year in Xiaocang Mountain, twenty miles away from Dufeng Pass.

This time is the fortieth birthday of the king of Chu, the king of Chu has always loved this daughter, in order to surprise her father, she left Lingyunju with the permission of Mrs. Jingci, and prepared to go to Chu to celebrate her father's birthday.

It is two days away from Chudu, Princess Yuanxi is sitting in a double-wheel carriage, and there are four Chu soldiers waiting in front and behind, she leisurely opens the curtain and looks at the undulating mountains in the distance, and the mood is very happy.

However, just as they had made a steady journey, they heard a strange bell ringing in the woods, and at the same time, for some reason, the horses were suddenly frightened, and both horses were lowered backwards with their hooves raised.

The entire carriage shook violently twice, and the two horses crashed into the Chu soldiers who were blocking them as if they had suddenly gone crazy, and galloped towards the front at high speed.

After all, Princess Yuanxi is a woman, and she is still young and has limited strength, although she desperately pressed her body against the inner wall of the carriage, but with a huge rollover of the horse's body, her whole person lost her focus, and she was suddenly thrown out of the car and fell into a fast-flowing river at the foot of the mountain.

Because Princess Yuanxi was thin, she was quickly pushed forward by the current.

The river poured into the tip of her nose, choking her throat and suffocating, and she struggled for help with all her might, but until she ran out of strength, she never saw her own men come to the rescue.

Her hands and feet became heavier and heavier, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, just when Princess Yuanxi thought that she was going to die this time......

Through the rippling river, in a hazy vision, he saw a figure suddenly appear on the bank of the river.

A figure she wasn't familiar with.

Immediately afterwards, a huge splash suddenly bloomed around her, and her body, which was already getting weaker and weaker, was suddenly held firmly by a strong hand, carrying her to swim continuously, and finally leading her to break free from the haze of death.

Although his consciousness was a little blurred, he placed himself on the bank of the river and turned away.

But the delicate and handsome face in front of her, and the pair of breathtaking and slightly chilling eyes, were deeply reflected in her mind, thinking about it and fascinating her.

After a few more years, it wasn't until Princess Yuanxi got Gao Heng's portrait by chance that she suddenly knew that the man who saved herself from danger in the mountains and forests of Dufeng Pass was actually the famous prince of Zhou.

"Princess, His Royal Highness King Heng has come down, princess ......"

At this time, the moon had sunset, and in front of the bright candlelight, just as Princess Yuanxi was immersed in memories and was stunned, a maid walked in and interrupted her flying thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Yuan Peng walking in in a hurry, and the whole person seemed to be a little anxious.

"Xi'er, I heard you're looking for me, is something wrong?"

"Brother Huang, I sent someone to look for you at noon, you only came here now, is the wine in the prince's garden so good?"

Princess Yuanxi put away the nostalgia in the corner of her eyes, glared at Yuan Peng angrily, walked to the table and sat down with a flick of her clothes.

And when Princess Yuan Xi mentioned that she went to the prince's garden, a trace of alertness flashed in Yuan Peng's eyes very quickly.

Then he walked unhurriedly to Princess Yuanxi and sat down, and said helplessly: "Oh, no matter what he says, he is also the crown prince of the Great Zhou, and he will inherit the throne in the future, so he can't be easily offended." Since he invited me to go, I couldn't refuse, so I just went to sit down casually, chatted a few words, and regarded it as an old friend. ”

"The old people reminiscence?" Princess Yuanxi's eyes wandered when she heard this, and she deliberately pretended to have an expression of sudden realization,"

"Yes, I remember that you had a friendship with this prince back then, and wasn't he the one who went to cross the wind pass to negotiate peace with us four years ago? ”

Listening to Princess Yuan Xi's casual speech, Yuan Peng nodded and agreed: "Yes, so we can be regarded as old acquaintances." ”

"Then what did you all talk about?" Princess Yuan Xi approached Yuan Peng very curiously, frowning slightly, "I heard that this prince's city is quite deep and sinister, but it is not an easy character to deal with, so let's be careful." ”

Since it is an old friend reminiscing, it is naturally some high-sounding greetings. Yuan Peng said lightly disapprovingly, "Now that Zhou and Chu have just concluded a good relationship between Qin and Jin, even if he really has ill intentions towards our Great Chu, he won't dare to act rashly for a while, don't worry, who to guard against, my brother knows." ”

"He specially invited you to his annex, is it just for greetings, why don't I believe it? ”

Seeing that Princess Yuan Xi tightened her pupils and stared at her sharply, Yuan Peng's eyes flashed, and then he said with a serious face: "Xi'er, this is Zhou Guo, someone else's territory, and the two of us are brothers and sisters, do you think it is necessary for me to hide it from you? Besides, since I was a child, how could I have deceived you about anything?"

"Of course, don't forget that this time, it was you and your father who joined forces to deceive me!"

Princess Yuanxi slapped the table, pretended to be angry and clenched her fist and waved it at Yuan Peng, but he easily dodged it, and said with a comforting smile: "Oh, didn't I find out and tell you later?

"He was mine. ”

Princess Yuanxi curled the corners of her lips with a smug expression, and after a moment of silence, she turned her face and looked at Yuan Peng with a pretended puzzlement.

"By the way, Brother Huang, in fact, I have always had a question in my heart, four years ago, we were willing to withdraw our troops and return to the court, is it really because this prince gave 10,000 taels of gold as a meeting gift?"

"Yes, if he hadn't offered his kindness at the time, we might not have simply withdrawn our troops. ”

Yuan Peng subconsciously replied, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Princess Yuan Xi and said in confusion: "Eh Xi'er, I remember that you have never been interested in these things, you were still bored when I told you at the time, why did you take the initiative to ask me now?"

"Because, today the princess Yan personally came to Changyang Palace to find me. ”

Princess Yuan Xi's eyes were loose, and when she gathered her gaze again, her eyes looked at Yuan Peng's eyes that were a little meaningful.

And that's what she's for. ”
