In the womb, Dongfang Xu received a letter, looking at the handwriting on it, he couldn't help but move his heart, and his ink lotus-like eyes were filled with shallow anticipation.

However, after reading the letter, Dongfang Xu's face gradually converged.

It's night, the moon and stars are scarce, the pedestrians on the street are three or three, the street shops on both sides of the road have not yet closed, and some restaurants and inns are full of guests. In a courtyard not far away, some dry goods are dried, and the house is not closed at night.

In the night, under the moonlight, the handsome man strode in a certain direction.

In an attic by the river, Yun Shu, who was dressed as a man, was already waiting for her.

Today, she is still wearing a moon-white gown, which seems to be the same as in the past, but it makes people faintly feel that there is a different kind of determination and composure, and it seems to be able to understand a qiē strategy.

She lowered her eyebrows, her beautiful appearance was spotless, and she skillfully brewed tea between her fingers, and the slowly rising fragrance of tea seemed to be constantly changing with her movements, just like her state of mind at the moment, ever-changing.

Dongfang Xu pushed the door in, and the two looked at each other, but they both had a bit of strictness.

He took out the letter, and his handsome face condensed slightly.

Yun Shu put down the tea set in her hand and looked at her with a long gaze, "What does the prince think?" ”

Dongfang Xu's eyes darkened, she called him the prince, did she want to remind him of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders?

I couldn't help but clench the letter in my hand, which was some evidence of Emperor Yi's recruitment, as well as the fact that the power of the State of Yi had penetrated into the imperial court.

Dongfang Xu put the letter on the table, he knew that the alliance between the two countries was a trap, in order to reduce the vigilance of Chen Guo.

Is this what she investigated when she went to Kancheng with the prime minister this time?

Yun Shu's gaze fell on the letter that Dongfang Xu put down, and his tone was deep, "Now that the situation is urgent, there is not enough time for the prince to prepare, Yun Shu also found that some of the forces of the Lotus Kingdom also have contacts with the Chen Kingdom, and I hope His Royal Highness can consider the complexity of this." ”

"Lotus Country?" Dongfang Xu was a little surprised that the Lotus Kingdom was an extremely mysterious country, it was said that the soldiers and horses were powerful, and the Emperor Yi had also wanted to test the water in depth several times, but because he was still not fully prepared, he didn't know how powerful the other party was, and he didn't dare to make a rash move.

Yun Shu carefully observed the changes on Dongfang Xu's face, and from the flickering eyes of him, she concluded that he didn't know about it.

This time, it seems that the power of the Lotus Kingdom should not be invited by the Chen Kingdom.

Yun Shu looked out the window from afar, looking at the innocent children running with small lanterns in the night, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Does the prince know that Chen Guo can have such a situation, and how much effort has it spent?" The current Chen Kingdom, although it is not at its peak, is also rich, and every decision of His Royal Highness is related to its future, I think the prince should not want to watch the people displaced, right? ”

Dongfang Xu didn't answer, but he also heard the meaning of Yun Shu's words, and his face couldn't help showing guilt, he understood that he had derelict his duty.

At the same time, he suddenly felt that he had failed Yun Shu's expectations of him.

I still remember that she said at the beginning that she wanted to help him strengthen the kingdom......

Dongfang Xu had a lot of thoughts, and the bottom of his dark eyes put away the last bit of affection, and he didn't enter this night, which was deep and not allowed for anyone to peep.

The two began to drink tea, but they never spoke again, but there was an indescribable tacit understanding.

Yun Shu knew that after today, he should be able to temporarily let go of his children's personal affairs, so he opened his mouth and reminded, "Princess Xiyue should be a member of the Yun family of Yi Kingdom, and she knows how to use medicine, so the prince must remember to be careful." ”

Dongfang Xu was a little surprised, why did she seem to know everything?

Yun Shu saw through his thoughts, but now she didn't want to be timid, even if the prince doubted it?

She held the fragrant tea in her hand, and repeated it with a firm look in her eyes, "The prince doesn't have to worry about this, to this day, he just needs to remember that the common enemy of you and me is the Yi Kingdom, and this is enough." ”

Dongfang Xu glanced at her shallowly, and no longer thought about this problem in his heart, as Yun Shu said, their common enemy now is Yi Guo!

The original moonlit and starry night gradually sank, and the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, leaving an empty space, and the gradually dense dark clouds in the sky seemed to be the pressure that Dongfang Xu felt now, thick and depressing!

Next.

In the palace, the prince unexpectedly invited Princess Xiyue to enjoy the flowers.

In the palace, when Xiyue heard the palace people returning, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but cover her lips and frown.

"Does the prince really say that?" Xiyue's whole person seemed to be in a dream, and it felt so unreal.

The palace people who came to return to the palace lowered their heads, "Princess Hui, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed explained like this!" ”

"Then you go back to Your Highness, and this princess will go over in a while!" Xiyue's beautiful face was slightly red, and she swayed the style of a little woman, and turned to look at her palace maid, "Quick, go and bring the new dress made by this princess a few days ago." ”

After a while, Xiyue, who was wearing a garnet-red flower-sprinkled pure pleated skirt, came to the imperial garden.

Under the costume, she is incomparably beautiful, and the beautiful color on her face is even more paled than this hundred flowers.

"Concubine, see Your Highness!" Xiyue stepped forward and saluted, looking very happy.

Dongfang Xu's eyes fell on her, but she was not amazing, but she changed her coldness in the past and helped her up in person, "The princess is very polite!" ”

And Dongfang Xu's actions couldn't help but make Xiyue ecstatic, her bright little face raised, and she looked at the handsome and waveless man in front of her for a moment, with a little coldness, her heart couldn't help but surge, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly remember to call your concubines to come to enjoy the flowers?" ”

"Today, a few pots of tulip peonies were sent outside the palace, and the palace heard that the princess loved peonies very much, so she rashly invited." Dongfang Xu's tone was still the same, but this changed attitude had already made Xiyue's heart ripple. She knew that the prince must have his own place in his heart, otherwise how could he ask about his love for peonies?

At this time, Dongfang Xu took out a small box from his cuffs, "This palace was concerned about state affairs a few days ago, and I was alienated from the princess, I wonder if the princess can forgive this palace?" ”

"This ...... Is this for concubines? Xiyue's eyes lit up.

Dongfang Xu personally opened the box, revealing the hairpin of the pearl inside, which was a very round and bright pearl, and although the style of the hairpin was simple, it was very chic, but the moment Xiyue saw it, the original expectation floated a trace of loss, it was actually a pearl...... And not some precious gem. Anyway, this is always the first gift the prince gave himself, and men always don't know what women want, no matter what, it's best to be attentive to themselves.

"What a chic hairpin! Your Highness really has a heart! Xiyue took out the hairpin, "Why don't you bother the prince to help the concubine put it on?" ”

Dongfang Xu had a light smile on his face, and when his eyes fell on her black and silky hair, he remembered Yun Shu, and the elegant and chic hairpin seemed to reflect Yun Shu's shallow appearance and her dusty temperament when she smiled......

"Your Highness?" Xiyue's somewhat puzzled voice came, interrupting Dongfang Xu's thoughts.

He replied softly and looked at Xiyue with lowered eyes, "Does the princess like it?" ”

Xi Yuejiao smiled and covered the corners of her mouth, "That'...... Your Highness thinks Xiyue looks good wearing this hairpin? ”

"Hmm." Dongfang Xu's gaze was as deep as the sea, "It's still early, let's go to Luomei Garden." ”

Turning around, he took the lead in the front, not letting Xiyue see the indifference that flashed on his face.

Not far away, the queen took in this scene, she saw the prince's every move very really, no matter what the reason, now he can focus on the overall situation, the queen's heart is very gratified.

Soon, the news of the prince's wedding quietly came out of the palace.

The whole country is jubilant, in the palace, you can see the red everywhere, and the festive red lanterns, and the palace gate every day there are guests to the precious jewelry, the best silk and satin have been presented into the palace, talk about the table of congratulations.

For a time, it was very lively and crowded.

At this moment, the prince was in the attic of his palace, but he was indifferent and watched the palace people coming in and out.

The handsome facial features did not have the joy of being a newlywed at all, but became more and more solemn.

Although I know that I have to shoulder the responsibility, how can I get rid of the unwillingness in my heart when I marry a woman I don't like? But thinking of Yun Shu's reminder, he felt that those who become big things are not informal, and now he can't afford to waste half of his time, Chen Guo can't wait, and Yun Shu can't wait.

The breeze suddenly rose, shaking the red lanterns outside the palace, and also blowing Dongfang Xu's hair, fluttering as if nothing.

The long back, leaning on the railing, is a little lonely and helpless......

On the other side of the palace, Princess Xiyue was dressing up in her bedroom, recalling the shallow smile that appeared on the handsome face of the prince who admired the flowers that day, and the heart lake suddenly rippled, like a spring breeze, so that the beautiful face was covered with a layer of confusion.

Squinted at the hairpin in the dresser, and finally couldn't suppress a chuckle anymore.

It's so good that he's finally obsessed with himself.

"Congratulations princess!" Xinlan, who was combing her hair behind her, heard the sound and hurriedly flattered.

Xiyue smiled lightly, but she became more and more proud in her heart.

At this time, the palace people walked in from outside holding the phoenix crown and the curtain, "See the princess, this phoenix crown and the silk curtain has been completed, please take a look at the princess!" ”

Xiyue stood up when she heard the voice, "Take it to the palace and take a look." ”

The palace people immediately stepped forward to unfold the exquisite phoenix crown and xia veil in their hands one by one.

For a while, the dazzling red color made everyone's eyes shine, and this wedding dress was perfect.

The satin of Su brocade, the embroidery of pure gold silk, and the ingenious tassel are all amazing, and the most wonderful thing is the Hua Yu of the phoenix on the wedding dress, which is not only embroidered by gold wire, but each feather on it is embellished with a gemstone.

Colorful, even in the dormitory, you can feel its dazzling luster.

The smile on Xiyue's face couldn't be hidden, she had never seen such a beautiful wedding dress.

And what makes her even more excited is that from now on, she will be the princess of Chenguo.
