In the Taiji Palace, Emperor Zhou was dressed in a golden silk dragon court dress, sitting majestically on the dragon chair, with a majestic face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, meeting foreign guests is a major event that affects the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is not as important as the usual discussion of politics with civil and military officials, and all the details may have a bearing on the country's honor and disgrace and face, and there must not be the slightest sloppiness.

Therefore, in order to make these foreign guests who came by trekking through mountains and rivers respectful and convincing, Empress Zhao, who was originally grounded in Zhenghe Palace, was also temporarily invited to sit on the phoenix throne, so as to support the scene for Emperor Zhou and add some momentum.

Under the dragon throne stood some important ministers of the court and relatives of the emperor, and Cheng Yan and the crown prince stood at the head of the two sides.

Cheng Jinzhi stood beside Gao Heng, glanced up casually, and saw that Gao Xun who was standing on the other side still looked sad and loveless, and his originally poor mood became even worse.

As a royal lady, she didn't have to come to this ceremony, but because of the uneasy emotions in her heart, and because she was worried that Gao Xun would do something that she shouldn't do, she stood here stubbornly.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy, or are you not feeling well?"

Gao Heng's concerned question came from his ears, but Cheng Jinzhi just turned his head and smiled coldly at him, and then ignored it.

With a sour taste, the subtext in my heart was: "When you hugged that Princess Yuanxi in front of everyone, why didn't you ask me if I was happy?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the bright voice of the celebrant ring ring out in the main hall.

"Princess Xuanda Chu Yuanxi, His Royal Highness King Heng entered the Hajj to see——"

Immediately afterwards, I saw Princess Yuanxi dressed in red makeup and grandeur, and slowly stepped into the palace with a dignified demeanor surrounded by several maids.

Hengwang Yuanpeng also followed, and after the two brothers and sisters stood still, they respectfully bowed to Emperor Zhou on the dragon throne.

"The princess of Great Chu, Yuan Xi, the prince Yuan Peng, meet the emperor of Zhou. ”

Looking at the woman in front of him who was named his "fiancée", Gao Xun's eyes did not have the slightest wave, as if he was looking at a passer-by who had nothing to do with him, in addition to the strangeness that already existed, there was also a little more indifference and coldness.

Such a reaction, even if Cheng Jinzhi didn't want to admit it, was indeed the same as she expected before.

Because everyone's eyes fell on this foreign guest, no one noticed that Queen Zhao's complexion was sitting on the phoenix throne at the moment.

When her eyes came into contact with the two siblings Yuan Xi and Yuan Peng, Empress Zhao's pupils tightened, and she suddenly revealed a touch of excitement and brilliance, just because she was controlled by her very scale, so it was not so obvious.

After such a look disappeared into the depths of her eyes in an instant, her shrewd and sophisticated eyes seemed to be covered with an impenetrable fog.

No one but herself knew what was behind the fog.

Seeing that the two of them were properly counted, Emperor Zhou's kind and slightly sharp gaze swept over them one by one, and then fell on Princess Yuanxi.

Seeing her beautiful appearance and generous demeanor, she bowed her head slightly after glancing at Queen Zhao, obviously satisfied with this daughter-in-law who came from afar.

"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar. The princess and the prince were able to arrive in the capital safely, and I was very relieved, since they had come from afar, it must have been very hard to travel and travel, so hurry up and get rid of it. ”

Emperor Zhou said and raised his hand to the two of them with a pleasant face, and listened to Queen Zhao beside him smile appreciatively: "Your Majesty, this Princess Yuanxi has a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance, and Lan Xinhui is very pleasing at a glance. ”

She said and deliberately glanced at Gao Xun standing below, although the corners of her mouth were smiling, her eyes were clearly full of cold hostility.

Queen Xie praised. ”

When Princess Yuanxi heard Empress Zhao's words, her face showed joy. I saw that she turned her head slightly, but the person in sight was not Gao Xun, the king of Jin, but Gao Heng standing next to Gao Xun.

And this action was also fully captured by Cheng Jinzhi, who was standing between the two brothers, and at the same time, the ominous premonition in her heart became more and more obvious, making her hands unconsciously clench her sleeves.

At this time, her consciousness as a woman is almost certain that this princess Yuanxi must have different motives and impure thoughts towards her husband.

It's just that they have only met for the first time today, and Gao Heng's attitude towards her is completely just to fulfill the etiquette of the guest and host, why did she fight like seeing an old acquaintance when she met, and then showed her love for him everywhere.

Cheng Jinzhi doesn't believe that there are really so many so-called "love at first sight" in this world.

But if you don't think about it that way, all this really makes people feel too unbelievable.

If it weren't for this ceremony, she really wanted to rush up directly and ask: "What do you mean by being so blatant, flirting with my husband three or four times?"

"Well, that's what the queen said. Emperor Zhou nodded with a smile, and then looked at Gao Xun who was standing in the crowd with a somewhat indifferent face, "Xun'er, you used to be a fool and refused to get married, but now when you see this princess carefully selected for you by your father and your mother, you should know that you are a blessing and have nothing to say, right?"

Seeing that he was suddenly questioned by Emperor Zhou, and there could be no rudeness in front of everyone's eyes, Gao Xun had to walk out patiently, and replied with a low expression: "Yes, my son thanks my father and mother for their grace." ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately lowered his eyes, but he still didn't look at Princess Yuanxi in front of him.

At this moment, after seeing Gao Xun who was pointed out by Emperor Zhou, I saw that Princess Yuanxi, who was still smiling, suddenly had dark eyes, and then she was shocked, and a huge surprise and confusion suddenly erupted in her eyes.

This eyebrow is even a little exaggerated at a glance, as if it was deliberately trying to let others notice her sudden abnormal expression.

"What's the matter with the princess, why did her face suddenly become so bad?

Seeing that Empress Zhao asked the right question, Princess Yuanxi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she immediately bowed to Empress Zhao with an innocent face.

"The queen mother, forgive the courtiers for being rude, dare to ask the courtiers this time and the prince of the Great Zhou who was promised to marry, in the end... Which one is it?"

Hearing Princess Yuanxi's strange and strange questioning, not only Emperor Zhou and Empress Zhao, but even the royal relatives and nobles below all showed puzzled expressions.

Only her brother Heng Wang Yuanpeng stood very calmly, as if he had expected his sister to have this question.

And Cheng Jinzhi frowned very vigilantly, looking at the princess of Nanchu in front of him, who was full of tricks, and seemed to have faintly realized something in his heart.
