In the Changyang Palace, after Cheng Jinzhi stepped out of the palace gate without any momentum, Princess Yuanxi stood outside the window and quietly admired the leafy spring peaches in the courtyard, raised her head and took a deep breath, letting the warm breeze gently blow her cheeks, and couldn't hide the proud joy in her eyes.

Although Cheng Jinzhi's arrival was not expected by her at all, it was an unexpected joy for her.

She was originally thinking about how to get rid of Cheng Jinzhi, an existence that made her jealous and hateful all the time, and now she can make it quit automatically without much effort, which is indeed a good thing with "complete merit".

Even if this method is too despicable, but the thought of being able to monopolize this man who thinks about him day and night, and is haunted by his dreams, everything becomes worthless.

It's just that, in addition to the joy that makes her feel that she breathes smoothly, Princess Yuanxi has another worry in her heart.

That's what Cheng Jinzhi wants from him.

Even though she is the pearl of the King of Chu, she will practice martial arts like a boy since she was a child, and even go out with the army to cut through obstacles, but after all, she is a daughter, and she can't get too involved in political affairs after all.

Back then, she only heard about the peace talks between the prince and Yuan Peng, and she only heard about it from Yuan Peng, but she only had a rough grasp of the whole story, especially about the money that was made by the prince privately.

If it weren't for Cheng Jinzhi mentioning it today, she would probably have forgotten that there was such a past.

Therefore, in Princess Yuanxi's opinion, if Gao Heng is really threatened because of this matter, if she wants to help and then attack the prince smoothly, she must first figure out the ins and outs of this whole thing before she can make plans in advance.

And she can vaguely feel that the relationship between this Great Zhou prince and his home country does not seem to be so simple.

Especially when the men she sent to find Yuan Peng came back and informed him that Yuan Peng had gone to the prince's residence in the capital.

……………

In the backyard of Qinfang Garden, dozens of peach trees are also planted with flourishing flowers, and the breeze blows, the petals dance, and the dark fragrance hits people.

Yuan Peng stood in the attic and looked at the sea of pink flowers under his feet, stared at it for a moment, and then turned to look at the crown prince Gao Chen, who was sitting opposite him with a calm gaze.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's palace is really exquisite and elegant, which makes people linger, and at first glance it is not the place where ordinary people live. It's just that... I don't know what Your Highness is asking to come down today, what is the so-called matter?"

"His Royal Highness King Heng has won the award, this garden was given by his father when the palace was an adult, and it has always been the favorite of the palace, if it is not for the distinguished guests who are valued by the palace, there is no opportunity to set foot here, and I hope that His Royal Highness can come often in the future. ”

The prince still sat in place and did not move, bowing slightly towards Yuan Peng, and the corners of his mouth hooked a kind arc.

When Yuan Peng heard this, his eyes turned slightly, and then he took his hand and saluted back: "I am deeply honored to be invited by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"His Royal Highness King Heng is too polite to say this. As he spoke, the prince raised his hand and invited Yuan Peng to take a seat, "Since I said goodbye at Dufeng Pass four years ago, this palace and His Royal Highness King Heng have not seen each other for four years. Now that His Royal Highness King Heng has come to my Great Zhou from thousands of miles away, even as an old man, he should be invited to reminisce about the past. ”

"Yes, after four years, I didn't expect that I would set foot in your country with my sister who was close to me. ”

Yuan Peng smiled faintly, although his tone was very sincere, but a strange ridicule quickly flashed in his eyes.

However, it seems that the prince should have lived a comfortable and smooth life in the past few years, stable and comfortable, and his appearance and demeanor are better than before. ”

"Haha, in this position in the palace, comfortable, smooth, stable and comfortable, how easy is it to talk about?"

The prince naturally heard the ridicule in Yuan Peng's words, but on the surface, he was very disapproving, looking at Yuan Peng and smiling Yan Yan said: "Oh, this palace still envy His Royal Highness King Heng, free and free, informal, whether it is the battlefield or the court, you can deal with it freely, but you don't have to be burdened by the burden of the country, so the days are comfortable and smooth." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are just tormenting. Yuan Peng deliberately ignored the ridicule in the prince's words, and slapped his thigh very exaggeratedly, "His Royal Highness is in the position of the prince, and he is bound to inherit the unification in the future, and the imperial power is in his hands, so he must have the world in his heart and worry about the country and the people." And I'm just a prince who lives casually, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince envy me for?"

As we all know, although the King of Chu has made His Royal Highness's eldest brother the crown prince, His Royal Highness King Heng is extremely intelligent and has made many military exploits, and the courtiers and people of your country also respect His Royal Highness very much. ”

The prince said with appreciation, and suddenly leaned forward to approach Yuan Peng, and there was a meaningful light in his deep eyes.

"Moreover, according to the palace, compared to the brother of His Royal Highness King Heng, His Royal Highness seems to be more suitable to inherit the throne of Great Chu. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Yuan Peng, who was still a little careless, immediately stagnated, tightened his eyebrows, as if he had been told something that he didn't want to be noticed, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

But after only a moment, he pretended to stretch the corners of his eyebrows easily, reached out and took a sip of the wine Gu in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't say this nonsense, if this is placed in our Dachu, it will be a great crime of rebellion if it is heard by the father. ”

"But... His Highness is not in Da Chu now, but in my Da Zhou. The prince raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, "Besides, everything this palace said is true, and it is not a false word of flattery." ”

"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's praise, it's just that I am used to being free and easy by nature, and I can't bear the burden of this country, so I have never had the heart to compete for the heir, I just want to be a prince in the future and be peaceful in the world. ”

Yuan Peng raised his eyes to meet the prince's tentative eyes, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but look a little stiff and unnatural.

"Really, then, it seems that this palace has said a lot, but it's a pity. ”

The prince's eyes fluttered, and he didn't say anything more, but nodded pretending to regret, but there was no trust in his eyes.

Then he turned his head and said: "By the way, after these two days, His Royal Highness's sister, oh, Princess Yuanxi, will marry the third brother of this palace, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Heng is still satisfied with this brother-in-law?"

"Since Xi'er likes it, I, as an elder brother, will naturally love Wu and Wu. ”

Seeing that the prince had changed the topic, Yuan Peng relaxed his cheeks and returned to his previous calm state.

"Besides, His Royal Highness King Yan is famous in all directions, I have already heard of it when I was in Nanchu, and if I say something inappropriate, I really hope to compete with him on the battlefield. ”

"Then it seems that His Royal Highness is very satisfied with the third brother of this palace. ”

The corners of the prince's mouth lifted slightly, and he muttered for a moment, then suddenly frowned with concern on his face, and sighed faintly.

"I'm afraid that he will treat His Highness and the princess so badly. ”
