The carriage walked slowly from Yuan'an Street, and it was much slower when it arrived at Suzaku Street, because there were too many pedestrians, so it could only pass slowly.

Suzaku Street is the main street of the Imperial City, the merchants open their doors to welcome customers during the day, and in the evening, the merchants close their doors, and all kinds of stalls are set up, coupled with the bright lights and bright candles, it looks more lively than in the daytime.

After walking along Suzaku Street for half an hour, the carriage turned right onto Chang'an Street, and the pedestrians suddenly decreased by half, and the more they walked, the fewer people came, and when they were only ten or so steps away from the Regent's Palace, there was almost no one left.

Rong Rongci lifted the side curtain of the carriage, and there were only high walls and deep alleys in the eyes, it was still spring, and at this hour, the evening breeze passing through the street was still cool, and the plain made people feel a little gloomy.

Perhaps the gloomy thing is not the cool night breeze, nor the silence of the deep alleys, but the wind and waves and intrigues hidden under the bustle and bustle. She had seen conspiracy, she had seen blood and killing, she had thought that one of her hearts had long been as cold and hard as iron, but at this moment, in a foreign land, she finally felt a trace of vulnerability, but that vulnerability was fleeting.

The carriage stopped in front of the high gate of the Regent's Mansion, and as soon as she resigned from the carriage, she saw Su Zhi waiting for her outside the gate of the mansion.

"The people in the house said that you went out after lunch in a hurry." As Su Zhi spoke, he had already greeted him and took Rong Rongci's hand, "I got the news when I entered the palace today, Xiwan's treasure delegation will arrive in the imperial city tomorrow, Xiwan people are brave and aggressive, it's better for you to go out less in recent days." ”

Rong Rongci's eyebrows twitched, and he was a little surprised: "Xiwan people are so dignified, how did they think of coming to Yin Xianbao?" ”

Su Zhijiang held Rong Rong's hand tightly: "Don't worry, they are just worried that after Nanrong and Shangyin marry, they will deal with Xiwan together, so they want to explore the situation under the pretext of offering treasures." ”

The two had already reached the inner courtyard while talking, and when Fran saw that Su Zhi was there, he quietly retreated.

"I don't know who is here in Xiwan......" Rong Yongci muttered, as if in thought.

"You don't have to care who comes, everything has me." Su Zhi stood still, his eyes staring at Rong Rong.

Under such a blazing gaze, the originally calm and steady Rong Elegy was a little weak-hearted, and quickly dodged his gaze: "I will stay in the palace for the next few days, and I don't have a chance to meet them in the future, so I really don't have to care." ”

Su Zhi also walked to the house with Rong Rong's steps: "I really can't see you in the past two days, but there will be a palace banquet in the palace in two days, I'm afraid you and I can't hide." ”

Rong Rongci's pace really slowed down, and he didn't speak for a while, looking at his expression, his mind was already surging.

Xiwan and Nanrong have been at odds for a long time. As early as ten years ago, when Nanrong was still the first power of different races, Nanrong and Shangyin had the intention of marrying at that time, but there were some branches in the middle, which led to the breakdown of the marriage. Shangyin lost the most admired prince in that accident, and the second prince of Nanrong was also given death by the king of Nanrong for poisoning the royal family of Shangyin.

For more than ten years, Xiwan intended to marry Shangyin many times, but Su Zhi refused. Judging from Xiwan's strength, Shangyin's marriage with him has a hundred benefits and no harm, and there are many officials in the court who try their best to advocate agreeing to the marriage with Xiwan, but Su Zhi has always been arbitrary, and after killing a few ministers who shouted for a marriage with Xiwan, the court naturally did not dare to discuss this matter again.

Now it seems that the regent who snatched the princess of Nanrong may have made a choice between Nanrong and Xiwan.

With Su Zhi's prior reminder, Rong Rongci stayed in the house for two consecutive days without going out, and Su Zhi went out of the court early in the past two days, and he would immediately return to the house to accompany his wife as soon as he got to the court. Somehow, this matter spread all over the imperial city, and everyone was talking about it, how did this regent, who was originally soft and hard, and not close to beauty, suddenly change his sex?

Xiwan's envoys naturally heard the news, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried, if the regent was really fascinated by this Nanrong princess, then Xiwan's future life would not be easy. After thinking about it, the marriage has been completed, and there is no other way but to explore the truth of this rumor at the palace banquet.

The palace banquet came as scheduled, and it was set in the Cheng'an Palace.

Although Rong Rongci is not the first time to enter the palace, but the palace is too big, in the end she is still unfamiliar, she is afraid that she will accidentally make a mistake and cause trouble for Nanrong, especially when the Xiwan people are also in Shangyin, the slightest mistake is enough for them to make trouble.

Su Zhi seemed to see her nervousness, and he didn't let go of her hand for a moment, which did make her feel a lot more relieved, although this behavior was somewhat inappropriate in the eyes of others.

"Don't worry, your husband is the regent."

Rong Rongci was slightly stunned when he heard the sudden whisper in his ear, turned his face, and crashed into Su Zhiyu's smiling eyes, his eyes were very bright, brighter than the brightest lantern she had ever seen.

Blinking, Rong Wangci vaguely avoided Su Zhi's gaze.

Su Zhi didn't care at all, still holding Rong Rong's hand tightly, and the two walked side by side all the way into the Cheng'an Palace.

As soon as she entered the hall, Rong Rongci's gaze quickly swept over the people sitting in the hall, especially the envoys of the Xiwan people, all of whom were unfamiliar faces, looking at her with malicious eyes.

Together with Su Zhi, they saluted the concubine and the emperor, and the two sat down, but the banquet did not start.

After waiting for a cup of tea, two figures hurriedly came outside the hall, and the woman who walked in front seemed to have not expected to be late, and knelt on the ground to ask the emperor for guilt as soon as she entered the hall.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, I lost the hairpin on the road to Allure, and I looked for a long time with the maids, which delayed for a while, and let the guests wait for a long time, which is rude to Allure......"

The voice was a little familiar, and Rong Rongci looked at it carefully, and only then did he recognize that it was Miss Ye from the Jian'an Hou Mansion. Today, Miss Ye is dressed ceremoniously and her makeup is exquisite, at first glance, Rong Rongci really didn't think that the person in front of her was the pretty girl she saw that day, maybe because the dress was too gorgeous, it looked a little old-fashioned, and a little less smart.

"Forgive your sins, and get up." Su Jingyou, who was sitting in the hall, smiled slightly, "It's just a hairpin, tell me next time you lose it, I will order someone to make one for you, and it is not appropriate to make the guests wait for a long time, so you can go over and toast." ”

"Your Majesty, Allure must be remembered."

Ye Qingcheng bowed his head again, and went to the seat where the Xiwan delegation was seated to toast.
