Among the guests present, anyone who was a little thoughtful could hear the threat in Yuan Peng's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In their eyes, Yuan Peng, a Chu person, dared to speak and threaten in front of the prince of the Great Zhou, which was a little too arrogant.

And Gao Heng's marriage to Princess Yuanxi is like receiving a troublesome hot potato, if it can't be handled properly, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.

In the face of such an obvious threat and provocation from Yuan Peng, Gao Heng's expression was very calm and did not feel the slightest fear.

In the past few years, Nanchu has secretly become more and more restless and self-conscious, and it seems to have become a big problem for Emperor Zhou, and the two countries will have to fight each other sooner or later.

If it weren't for Emperor Zhou's threat to Cheng Jinzhi's safety, he would have already had the idea of sending troops to conquer Southern Chu.

It was actually only a matter of time before he met Yuan Peng on the battlefield.

What he is worried about now is that if Yuan Peng and the crown prince collude with each other to be detrimental to the Yan Palace, then the matter will be much more complicated.

After all, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and he would rather be desperate and bloody on the battlefield filled with gunpowder than to play with this group of cunning jackals in the dark places where he can't be guarded.

And Cheng Jinzhi listened to Yuan Peng's words, and the whole person couldn't help but fall into deep worry and sadness.

She knew that Gao Heng was not threatened, and he did not give in easily, and the more Yuan Peng wanted to coerce and lure him like this, the more he would not give in.

Now that the prince's party is strong and difficult to shake, although Gao Heng stands out among the princes, he is still slightly inferior to the gathering of forces behind the prince, and his foundation is still unstable after all.

But at this time, if there is Da Chu behind him as a support, it is naturally equivalent to being like a fish in water.

Especially in the disaster relief official silver case four years ago, he was able to take the lead in giving the prince a heavy blow.

On the contrary, if Gao Heng ignores Princess Yuanxi after marriage and snubbs him everywhere, Yuan Peng is not an idle person, and it is very likely that he will do what he says and do some unfavorable things to Yanwangfu for the sake of his sister.

Thinking like this, she realized again that the cause of all these contradictions still came from herself.

Of course, the reason why Cheng Jinzhi thought about it here was because she didn't know the origin of the relationship between Yuan Peng and the crown prince at this time.

"Brother Huang, my father is not here, the eldest brother is my father, according to the rules, Xi'er has to serve tea to you. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere had become solemn and weird for a while, Princess Yuan Xi was worried that Yuan Peng would say something that should not be said, which would aggravate the contradiction between Gao Heng and him, and hurriedly blocked the two of them with a pleasant face.

"Okay, my father is not here today, I am naturally an elder, and if I accept your cup of tea, it is not in vain that I have loved you so much since I was a child. ”

Hearing Princess Yuan Xi's words, Yuan Peng's eyes loosened, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he quickly returned to his usual bright color.

Waiting for the maid to deliver the tea, Princess Yuanxi took the tea cup with both hands very solemnly, knelt on one knee, and handed the hot tea in her hand to Yuan Peng.

"Brother Huang, thank you for your pity and care for Xi'er over the years, Xi'er is grateful. ”

Looking at Princess Yuan Xi's deep eyes and the flickering tears in her eyes, Yuan Peng unconsciously tightened his pupils, and his face showed sadness and reluctance.

Especially at the moment when he took the cup of hot tea, the guilt in his eyes that was originally hidden deep in his eyes also came out with this reluctance, and was captured by Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi at the same time.

Why should he be guilty? This marriage was clearly secretly assisted by him and single-handedly facilitated, so why should he feel guilty?

"Between brothers and sisters, why bother to say such kind words, as long as you are happy, the royal brother will be satisfied. ”

Yuan Peng helped Princess Yuanxi up, gently raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly showed a fragile side between her eyebrows.

Under the eyes of the two, they couldn't help but be touched by the people around them, and they sighed in their hearts that this enviable brother and sister were affectionate.

"By the way, I still have to make tea to my sister. ”

Princess Yuan Xi pursed the corners of her lips, withdrew her gaze from Yuan Peng, and after taking a deep breath to adjust her sad emotions, she fell on another cup of tea in the maid's hand.

She is not the kind of sentimental weak woman, if it is not for the depths of love, she has rarely cried.

When he looked at Cheng Jinzhi, he had already returned to his usual and slightly tough heroic state.

"Then there's Princess Law. ”

Cheng Jinzhi smiled faintly and took a small step forward, but he didn't want to take her reluctant cup of tea.

Especially after seeing Princess Yuanxi's incomprehensible strange eyes, she felt even more that she was going up and down in her heart, and there was always a sense of uneasiness that she was going to be plotted by others.

"Invite my sister to tea. ”

Princess Yuanxi bowed down and respectfully offered hot tea to Cheng Jinzhi with both hands.

"My sister entered the house before me, and I was deeply favored by His Royal Highness, and I will ask my sister to take more care of me in the future, I hope that you and I will live together in harmony and serve Your Highness with all our hearts. ”

Princess Yuanxi said in a sincere tone, and then her eyes turned slightly, and she looked at Cheng Jinzhi's lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged.

"After my sister enters the house, although there are many things that are still unclear, I will definitely try my best to learn with my heart, but I hope that I can slowly help my sister share some of the burden, so that my sister can raise the fetus with peace of mind, and in the early spring of the next year, she will definitely be able to give birth to a healthy and healthy child for His Royal Highness. ”

Although Princess Yuanxi's words sounded full of sincerity and concern on the surface, the implication was clearly to take advantage of the position of Cheng Jinzhi, the hostess of the palace, to let her hold the child and go coolly.

Even in Cheng Jinzhi's opinion, even this child, she may not want to be born safe and sound.

"Okay, then there's Princess Law. ”

Cheng Jinzhi raised his eyes, met Princess Yuanxi's provocative gaze, smiled coldly, and raised his hand to pick up the tea cup she handed over.

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi's hand was about to touch the cup, Princess Yuanxi's eyes flickered, and the hand holding the tea suddenly pushed forward with heavy force, wanting to knock over all the hot tea on Cheng Jinzhi's body.

Cheng Jinzhi was worried that Princess Yuanxi would embarrass herself in this cup of tea, so she deliberately kept an extra eye.

At this time, after feeling the power of the change in her hand, she immediately realized her intention, her eyes sank, and she immediately changed her strength, pushing the teacup back half a point towards Princess Yuanxi, and then suddenly let go.

"I've seen a lot of this kind of indiscriminate tricks, so it's good that I didn't splash it directly in your face. ”

Princess Yuanxi didn't expect Cheng Jinzhi to rebel against her, and with the crisp sound of the tea cup falling to the ground, most of the hot tea was sprinkled on her wedding dress.

I saw her shout in a dull voice, her face covered her wrist exposed outside the cuffs with some pain, raised her head and stared at Cheng Jinzhi with a gloomy face, her eyes were already full of fire.
