Two days later, on the third day of the fourth month, Daze Wangcheng was not lively.

On this day, the citizens gathered in the streets and alleys to talk about the great events in the royal city.

"Hey, did you hear that? The prince of this western corner is going to come to our Daze to propose. ”

"Isn't this known all over the city?"

"Hey, I really don't know which unfortunate princess it is, I heard that the western corner is a bitter cold place, this princess, I'm afraid she is going to suffer."

"Who else can it be, isn't there only Princess Yixuan in the royal family who is not married."

"Princess Yixuan is a good person, she often gives soup porridge in this city, and the beggars here can treat our princess as a good person, it's a pity."

"To be honest, the people in this royal family are not as comfortable as us ordinary people."

"When I heard that this princess knew that she was going to marry Na Xiyu, she didn't cry or make trouble."

"Although the princess is a woman, she has the courage of a man, which is my honor and blessing."

"Hey, old king, I heard that next time our king chooses a concubine, you will send your precious girl into the palace, right?"

"Phew, I don't want my daughter to suffer like that, it's better to find her an ordinary home and live a down-to-earth life, tomorrow, I'll find a matchmaker."

"Haha, you see he's still in a hurry."

……

Two horse-drawn carriages drove through the streets of Los Angeles toward the center of the city. Ji Qianning, Chu Duxue and Lan Xin shared a car, and Ji Qianmu, Xuan Qi and others drove another carriage.

After not arriving in Los Angeles for a long time, Ji Qianning lifted the curtain on the car, looked at the busy traffic on the street, the crowd was bustling, and all kinds of shouting and selling sounds, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It is worthy of being Wangcheng, it is so lively.

On the way to the palace banquet in the Qiongmin Palace, they suddenly heard the people on the street talking about it, and everyone was speechless for a while and fell into deep thought.

Ji Qianning felt a lot in her heart: the children of princes and princes, although they enjoy the honor of the world, sometimes they can't even control their own fate, but they are not as chic and happy as an ordinary person.

Half an hour later, the carriage drove to the gate of the palace, several people got off the carriage, Su Wei and Lan Xin guarded at the gate of the palace, Ji Qianning, Ji Qianmu, Xuan Qi, Chu Duxue four people entered the palace gate, passed through the Taihe Gate, under the guidance of an inner supervisor, passed through the Chengming Palace, Qianyuan Palace, Taiming Palace, Yamato Palace, and finally entered the Chenghuan Palace, which hosted the state banquet.

When the four of them entered, the main hall was already full of guests, and after Ji Qianmu exchanged a few words with the palace nobles and ministers of the court who knew him, he led the other three to sit down on their seats.

After a while, Sima Zhao, the king of Daze, and the queen Xiang entered the main hall surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids.

"Ministers, see the king and queen." Everyone got up and knelt on the ground to salute in an instant, "I wish the king and queen a thousand years of happiness." ”

Sima Zhao, who was dressed in dark blue embroidered with a golden silk dragon robe, and Queen Xiang, who was also dressed in a blue main color dress, walked up to the high platform in the middle of the hall amid the shouts of everyone, and sat down behind the carved dragon case.

"Wait until you get up!" Sima Zhao waved his loose sleeves

"King Xie."

"Today, it is a day of great joy, I Daze and Daxin signed a marriage contract, Princess Yixuan married the third prince of Daxin, since then the two countries have coexisted peacefully, and the people no longer suffer from war, which is a blessing for the country."

"King Shengming."

"Today's banquet is to let the Aiqing and the widows share this joy. The second is that the third prince of Daxin came to my Daze to propose marriage, and the widow will announce that he will marry the princess to him at this state banquet. Come, please invite the third prince to the palace. ”

"Prince Xuan Daxin is here." Gao Gonggong's slender voice resounded throughout the hall.

After that, I saw a man walk in. The man has a handsome face, although he is dressed in foreign costumes, his appearance is not like that of Daxin, and he is not much different from the people of the Central Plains.

For a while, the minister whispered during the banquet: "Hey, why doesn't this prince look like a native of the West?" ”

"I heard that the king of the western corner once married a woman from the Southern Zhou Dynasty as his wife, and this prince is estimated to be born to the king of the western corner and that lady."

"No wonder."

"Zal Chi Vulti. Wing to see the king, I wish the king a thousand years of happiness. The third prince said, putting his right hand into a fist on his chest and bowing his head at Sima Zhao.

When Xuan Qi saw the people in the main hall, he and Ji Qianmu glanced at each other, and the two of them tacitly observed everything about the third prince in front of them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is polite." Sima Zhao waved his wide sleeves and motioned for him to get up.

"I have been in my heart for Princess Yixuan of your country for a long time, and I came to propose marriage rashly today, hoping that the king will be fulfilled. If Princess Yixuan marries here, Daze and Daxin will be at peace for a long time. After saying that, he saluted again.

Harmony is a foregone conclusion, and everyone knows that this is just a formality.

"If this marriage, I Daze and Daxin will conclude a brotherly alliance, and the two countries will be friendly for generations since then, which is really a blessing for the country." Sima Zhao said, smiling slightly, "Since the third prince is so pious, he personally came to my Daze to propose marriage, and the widow sees that you are sincere, and I will marry Yixuan to you today, and half a month later, the princess will marry." ”

"King Xie Chengcheng, I will definitely treat the princess well in the future." A smile tugged at the corner of the third prince's mouth.

"Come, everyone raise their glasses." Sima Zhao gave an order, all the princes and nobles in the hall got up and raised their wine glasses, and the first prince also stepped forward and handed the third prince a wine glass, "I wish the third prince and Princess Yixuan a good marriage, and I wish Daze and Daxin a long time and peace." ”

"I wish the third prince and Princess Yixuan a good marriage, and I wish Daze and Daxin a long time and peace." There was a chorus of voices in the main hall.

Ji Qianning was bored and played with the wine glass in her hand, but she didn't pay attention to the conversation in the main hall, and only when everyone got up and raised the wine glasses did she fall on the three princes in front of her. Ji Qianning was startled, only to see a man in a foreign costume standing in front of him, with a handsome face and a graceful demeanor, like a jade man, dimming the brilliance of all things, and the most impressive thing was the unfathomable eyes. Yes, those unfathomable eyes......

"Brother Chengzhi?" Ji Qianning was stunned for a while, the person in front of her and Ling Chengzhi clearly had a different appearance, but why did she feel so familiar? The person who she loved day and night, waiting, waiting for the carriage to come and marry her, was just an ordinary person, he couldn't be the third prince of Daxin, let alone ask to marry another woman...... Everything in front of her is so real and so illusory, no, it must not be, Ji Qianning shook her head, she must have seen it wrong, he couldn't be Ling Chengzhi.

But those unfathomable eyes......

Ji Qianning had mixed feelings for a while, her heart was blocked, she shook her head, and the wine glass slammed on the ground.

There was a crisp sound, causing everyone to turn their heads to look at her.

Xuan Qi stood beside Ji Qianning, he noticed Ji Qianning's gaffe for the first time, Ling Chengzhi, he heard the name she shouted in a low voice, that Ling Chengzhi was really the third prince of Daxin, thinking of this, Xuan Qi frowned tightly, and his face was angry.

Ji Qianmu also noticed the abnormality, although his sister was playful on weekdays, she would not be so disproportionate, he was staring at her tightly at the moment, his eyes were full of worry.

The third prince turned around and noticed Ji Qianning, he was stunned, and then returned to normal.

"Qingyuan, what's the matter?" Sima Zhao suddenly asked, breaking the silence in the main hall.

Ji Qianning heard Sima Zhao's question, walked over and knelt in the center of the hall in a few steps: "The courtier's hand slipped for a while, please forgive the king." Ji Qianning secretly stabilized, she couldn't let others notice the abnormality.

"That's it, it's not a big deal, let's go back and sit." Sima Zhao smiled at Ji Qianning.

"King Xie." Ji Qianning got up and met the third prince with his eyes, and the third prince immediately turned his head away, the sadness and resentment in her eyes, he clearly saw it really clearly.

Ji Qianmu and Chu Duxue glanced at each other, did not speak, and their eyes were full of worry.

Throughout the banquet, Ji Qianning was uneasy. At the end of the banquet, Sima Zhao and Xiang Shi left first, and the rest of the people followed, and the third prince before leaving inadvertently turned his head to look at Ji Qianning, but he didn't want to meet Xuan Qi's resentful eyes.

Xuan Qi called, Ji Qianning came back to her senses, she glanced around the hall, did not find the figure of the third prince, and then ignored Xuan Qi, who called her behind her, quickly ran out, and caught up with the third prince who was about to jump into the carriage at the gate of the palace.

She wanted to ask clearly, obviously she didn't want to admit that it was him, but her intuition couldn't deceive people.

"Third Prince, please stay." Ji Qianning shouted breathlessly.

"Girl?" The third prince asked.

"You don't know me?" Ji Qianning smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth.

"We've met?" The third prince asked rhetorically.

Ji Qianning took a deep breath, walked in front of the third prince in a few steps, and said with a smile: "I am the county lord of Qingyuan who is sealed by the prince, Ji Qianning." He said and looked into his ear.

"It turned out to be the county lord, and I was rude." The third prince saluted Ji Qianning, "Is there something wrong with the county lord looking for me?" ”

"You're a lot like an old friend of mine." Ji Qianning was still staring at the third prince's ear and smiled slightly.

"Oh, there are many similar people in the world, and I am really fortunate to be able to resemble the old man of the county lord." The third prince smiled at Ji Qianning.

"You really don't know me?" Ji Qianning pressed the eyes of the third prince.

"The county lord laughed, I haven't seen the county lord before, how can I get acquainted, I still have something, if there is a fate, I will continue in the future." With that, he jumped into the carriage.

"Ling Chengzhi ......" Ji Qianning shouted with a crying voice, the voice was neither loud nor small, but the third prince heard it clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "The county lord recognized the wrong person." With that, he drove the carriage and disappeared ahead.

Ji Qianning was stunned in place for a long time and never came back to her senses, she didn't want to cry, but tears gushed out like spring water. Hehe, recognize the wrong person? Ling Chengzhi, do you know that I really remember the mole on your ear, are you so unbearable, you don't even have the courage to recognize me?

Xuan Qi chased Ji Qianning and stopped not far away, witnessing everything in front of him, he silently walked behind Ji Qianning and patted her shoulder gently. Ji Qianning glanced back and found that the person behind her was Xuan Qi, she couldn't control it anymore, buried her head in his arms, she tried to control her sobbing, but her tears wet a large part of Xuan Qi's clothes.

Xuan Qi didn't hug her, but reached out and patted her back gently.

Ji Qianmu and Chu Duxue stood not far away, watching quietly, and did not come forward to disturb.

Pedestrians passing by looked at the two of them with surprised expressions.
