On the day of the celebration banquet, Xi Zhen really didn't show up, even Li Changsheng, Li Simu and Wu Yu didn't appear.

Kui Da took the queen and the crown prince to give a speech and toast to everyone, but everyone has been looking for Xizhen's figure with their eyes.

"King, why didn't Guang'anhou show up today? She's here to be the hero of this! Some people couldn't help it and asked Kui Da during the banquet.

"Guang'an Hou has not been in good health these days, so there is no way to participate." Kui Da replied politely.

"What about the other three envoys?" People don't give up asking.

"They decided not to come because Guang'an didn't come." Kui Xian took over and said.

"Oh." Everyone's faces suddenly showed a deep sense of disappointment.

For the people, everyone doesn't mind her nationality, everyone recognizes her merits and personality, and everything she does when she comes to the country is for the benefit of the country and the people. Nowadays, everyone's living standards have improved, and their gratitude to her has increased day by day, and some people even said in private: "If she were to govern the country, it would be many times better than now." ”

Unfortunately, these words reached Kuida's ears.

Kui Da sulked for a day after hearing these words.

A foreign woman has gained a reputation beyond that of a monarch here, and in such a short period of time, which will certainly make Kui Da have some thoughts in his heart.

But of course, Kui Da knew that Xizhen's reputation was well deserved, so he couldn't be jealous of it.

However, his guard against her is getting heavier and heavier.

…………………

The work of reforestation has been completed. A large carpentry market has also been built.

Three days later, the opening day of the Wood Art Market will begin.

In the past two days, representatives sent by the Mao Kingdom, the Gong Kingdom, the Xi Kingdom, and the Zhang Si Kingdom have also arrived one after another.

Kui Da sent the prime minister, Ram Yan, and the two princes to meet them in person.

But Kui Da didn't allow Xi Zhen to meet any of them.

Even in the past few days, Kui Da has not been reported to her.

Hee Zhen knew that Kui Da had done this on purpose, so he began to figure out how to get the names of the visitors on his own.

Through the help of others, she finally learned that the personnel sent by the Xi State were a total of eight envoys, including the Great Sima Li Ping and the Prime Minister Shi Weihong.

Look at the list. She groaned for a moment, then slowly put it down and continued to read.

………………

Chu Zihou came to the country in the name of Sima Li Ping and Prime Minister Shi Weihong and others.

This was the opportunity he had begged for from Emperor Guangzhao.

If he came as the second prince, it would naturally be dangerous and abnormal, and Emperor Guangzhao would not allow it, but he really wanted to see Xizhen too much, so he decided to come incognito.

In order to make his appearance look the same as that of the great Sima Li Ping, he spent a day with Li Ping before going abroad. During this day, he learned the tone in which Li Ping spoke, the gait he walked, and the way he thought. also learned about Li Ping's family history, and changed his appearance into Li Ping.

Along the way, all he thought about was his happy voice and smile. So I wish time had passed faster and the horses had run faster.

When he entered the border of the ball country, this idea of him became even more urgent.

During the nearly four-day journey from the border of the country to the city of Qiuli, he heard a lot of praise from the mouths of the people.

"Xi Guo is really an outstanding person, and he has raised such a peerless talented girl!" Someone said with emotion.

Chu Zihou was also very happy when he heard this--I didn't expect my fiancée to be so famous in this country.

Think so. I hope to see her sooner.

However. It has been nearly two days since their group arrived in the ball country, and there has been no trace of Xizhen.

"What have Guang'an Hou and the others been busy with lately?" That afternoon, Chu Zihou couldn't help but ask Kui Da a question.

"They've been going to the private sector for the past few days, and they'll be back tomorrow for the bazaar's open day, and you'll be able to see them then." Kui Da hurriedly made up a reason.

"Oh, okay." Chu Dihou didn't say anything more.

Anyway, it's here, I don't care about waiting one more day.

The third day was the opening day of the wood art market, and Chu Zihou, Shi Weihong and others got up early in the morning. At this time, he was following the prime minister of the ball country, Ram Yan, to the wood art market.

"How is Guang'an Hou doing in your country?" When on the road. Chu Zihou pretended to be careless and asked the ram inkstone.

"It's good, as soon as she arrived, she went on a national tour. Then he proposed measures such as building large roads, building large wood art markets, developing surrounding businesses, and renovating mountains and forests, each of which could bring benefits to the economy of the country and point out a brighter path for the people. Ram Yan said with a smile.

"Prime Minister, what I want to know is her personal situation, I heard when I first arrived the day before yesterday that she could not attend the celebration banquet for the transformation of the mountains and forests due to her ill health, so I was a little worried about her health." Chu Zihou said.

Ram Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Isn't it a little strange that the dignified Da Sima said that he cared about her body?

Chu Zihou saw that he seemed to be a little puzzled, and hurriedly explained: "After all, she still needs to stay in the country for nearly four months, and if she is not in good health, I am afraid that she will not be able to complete the agreement with you on time, and this is what I am most worried about." ”

Ram Yan nodded in understanding and said, "She doesn't seem to be in any big trouble, adults can rest assured, not to mention that there are many people with excellent medical skills in our country, so there is no need to worry about this." ”

By the time we arrived at the Wood Art Market, it was already full of people.

Chu Zihou stopped to watch the world's largest wood art market, and was deeply proud of Xizhen's outstanding talent.

Chu Zihou knew that Xizhen should appear, so he had been looking forward to tomorrow in his heart.

However, he still remembers the last time she was absent from the celebration banquet of the victory in Northern Xinjiang, so he is still a little apprehensive, afraid that she will forget because of the incident.

Anyway, let's wait and see, if he can't see her today, he will find a way to see her himself. In any case, the purpose of his visit this time was to meet her, so no matter how difficult it was, he would go for it.

At the request of Kui Da and the prime minister, this time Xi Zhen finally agreed to show up.

When she appeared on the podium with Kui Da, the people below immediately cheered and jumped, much to the embarrassment of Kui Da, who was standing next to her.

Chu Zihou and Shi Weihong were sitting in the first row directly below the podium, so the place where she was standing was less than a foot away from his position.

Because Chu Zihou had changed his appearance, he was worried that she wouldn't recognize him. So, in order to make it easier to identify, he deliberately wore a set of white robes that he loved to wear in the past, and on the collar of this robe there was a plum blossom that she had embroidered especially for him.

But she recognized him at a glance, for his eyes had not changed, and they were incomparably clear, revealing some inexplicable magic.

But in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Kui Da, the prince and others, she immediately avoided in the background.

However, the cheers of the people continued.

Kui Da had no choice but to raise his hand to stop everyone's cheers.

After everyone's voices calmed down, Kui Da said: "Guang'an is shy by nature and is not good at explaining to everyone, I hope everyone will be more considerate!" The opening ceremony is still a quarter of an hour away, so please wait and see. ”

At this moment, Chu Zihou, who was disguised as Li Ping, also immediately left his seat and walked backstage.

With the loud sound of drums, the opening ceremony began with the sound of gongs and drums.

People focused their eyes on the performance on the podium.

Chu Zihou turned left and right, walked through the alley, and came to the backstage of the opening ceremony after a while.

When I looked at it, there was no one in the background.

He walked gently inside, keenly observing his surroundings.

Around the corner, he saw her—she stood in the bright moonlight.

Hearing his footsteps that couldn't have been lighter, she turned back to him and saluted.

"Do you recognize who I am?" He asked her.

She immediately motioned for him not to squeak, stretched out a slender hand, and pulled him towards the small door behind her.

When she reached the foot of a ruined and solemn wall, she took his hand and easily crossed it, and then ran to a small park not far away.

"I recognized you at first sight, you are so bold that you dare to come here in such a way." She said as she looked at his emaciated but still godly face.

Her expression was full of admiration and relief, and she thanked him for what he had done for her.

"How are you doing in the past six months or so?" He asked.

He had already asked this sentence from the ball country who knew her less, and the answer he got was - she was very good.

Now that I see her again, I find that she has lost a lot of weight like him, and I suddenly have mixed feelings.

"When will you return to Xi Kingdom?" She asked him.

She knew that even if he came, they wouldn't see each other very often, because there were spies everywhere.

So she decided to cut a long story short.

"Two days later." He said softly.

"It's too fast, I've been watched everywhere here, so it's hard to see you alone. But I'll fight for it, and if there's really no way to meet you, you don't need to worry, I'll take care of myself. She smiled at him.

"I understand, I can see at a glance that your situation here is coming, I hope you are careful, I will wait for you to come back." Chu Zihou took out a plum blossom hairpin from his pocket and personally inserted it into her sideburns.

"Well, you have a face that is more beautiful than flowers, even in this hazy moonlight, it looks different and charming." He took a few steps back, looked at her with appreciative eyes, and couldn't help but reach out to touch her face.

There was a click, and a small stone flew from some direction and landed right at their feet.

Is this a reminder from one's own people or a warning from a listener?

In short, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately separated, and each of them left quickly...... (To be continued......)
