Chapter 149: The Envoy Enters
After many days, the team of Northern Yan envoys finally arrived at the capital of Dongyan.
No one expected that Qiancheng Jue would take a shortcut and shorten the original five-day trip to three days.
If it weren't for Tang Ruoxu's news coming quickly, they would probably not have been able to welcome the envoys into the capital.
Qianchengjue's original intention, in addition to arriving as soon as possible to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, is to look forward to seeing Qin Changhuan as soon as possible, and as soon as he leaves for three months, he will meet in a foreign country.
Although there are waves in the heart, in the face of the happy people on both sides of the team, he still has to maintain the demeanor of a great country and maintain a cold face.
As soon as the procession entered the capital, the people gathered on both sides in an orderly manner, and their joy was beyond words, even more lively than a specific welcome ceremony.
Many young girls waved the silk handkerchiefs and purses in their hands, and some even boldly threw them on the back of a thousand cities.
There were a lot of whispers in the crowd.
"I thought that the crown prince of our Dongyan was also glamorous enough in the world, but who knew that the regent from Beiyan actually had a face that was even more fascinating."
"Isn't the regent an imperial uncle? But he really didn't look like he was a handful of age. ”
A lot of gossip reached Qianchengjue's ears, and he only thought that he was deaf, because all he was thinking about was Qin Changhuan now, and he wanted to meet her quickly.
Not far away, Tang Ruoxu waited 'single-handedly', and when the team approached, he lightly pinched the horse's belly, and the sound of the horse's hooves touching the stone road had long been drowned out by the boiling human voice.
"Brother Chengjue, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I didn't expect you to still have a face that no one can enter."
Turning the horse's head, Tang Ruoxu and Qiancheng went hand in hand.
"How? Today's welcome ceremony in the empty alleys of 10,000 people, are you still satisfied? ”
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he held his head high, and his lips were smug smiles, with a master's attitude.
On that day, he only entered the imperial capital in civilian clothes, and he never let people know, and he didn't know about the two phases, even if there was no warm celebration scene, it was not rude, and all this today was naturally not arranged by Emperor Dongyan, but it was also enough to give face to Qiancheng Jue and Beiyan.
In that case, of course, Qiancheng must not say anything more.
"I shouldn't be so close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so His Royal Highness still calls me the prince."
Qiancheng didn't even look at him, only looked ahead with a cold face, the blazing sun shone on the faces of the two, one was as warm as a spring breeze, and the other was as cold as winter snow.
Not far away, Tang Ruoxu was eroded by the cold air emanating from Qiancheng's body.
"Brother Chengjue, look at everyone who welcomes you so much, why don't you give you a smile, your face is on behalf of Beiyan, do you want everyone to think that Beiyan is such a cold-faced and cold-hearted capital?"
Tang Ruoxu spoke bitterly at him, but after some words, there was no ripple on the face of the other side, and after a long time, he had to sigh.
"That's it, my father has already ordered the post house to rest, and I guarantee satisfaction."
"Don't bother." Qian Chengjue finally spoke, but he just turned his head to Tang Ruoxu and smiled and said, "For such a trivial matter, I have sent someone to arrange it properly, so I won't bother His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
He 'drove', turned around and ordered the team to speed up, and in a blink of an eye he had disappeared around the corner of the street, and the team behind him quickly followed, leaving Tang Ruoxu alone to watch the past with people and horses in front of him.
He grinned, his shoulders hunched.
"It's okay, I'm just being polite."
The face must always do the friendship of the landlord.
"Drive!" He slapped the horse's buttocks hard, tightened the reins, and went in the direction of the palace to report the news.
Just after noon, the news also spread into the Fuhua Palace.
Cuizhu spread the news that the Thousand Cities Absolute Team had entered the city, and the Thousand Cities were all described as peerless and glamorous men who had been among the thousands of flowers and did not touch the leaves.
Qin Changhuan followed the crowd to laugh forward and back, seeing a few eunuchs dancing with their eyebrows, she also felt that it was not interesting, so she took Cuizhu to the garden at the back of the palace.
Cuizhu hurriedly put the cushion on the stone bench, and was going to reach out to help, but Qin Changhuan sat down first, and grabbed her arm and said, "You don't have to take care of me here, help me go to the East Palace to call the prince over, just say that there is an emergency, it is best not to let others know." ”
Although Cuizhu was puzzled, she also remembered Tang Ruoxu's orders when Qin Changhuan first moved in, as long as it was Qin Changhuan's order, she would obey it.
Cuizhu's legs were slightly bent, and she owed her body.
"Yes."
Qin Changhuan saw her walking away, and the corners of his lips hooked up a relaxed smile, with a slight expectation and hope between his eyebrows, and the joy on his face had not been seen for a long time.
I didn't show it in front of everyone just now, because I was afraid that someone would go out and say something, the queen was not simple, and she might have planted some eyeliner in the Fuhua Palace.
So when she heard that it was the regent of Beiyan Qiancheng who had sent the envoy to Dongyan, her heart danced with joy, and she couldn't wait to hug everyone and cheer.
Unfortunately, she couldn't.
An invited distinguished guest was so happy with the arrival of Qianchengjue, what is the relationship between the two?
So until this moment, there was no one around, and she only dared to taste the joy of a hundred turns and thousands of times in her heart, and when the smile came to the corner of her eyes, she only turned into a faint calmness.
All the excitement and surprises are only for tonight.
After a while, Tang Ruoxu hurried over, waved his hand and retreated everyone, only he and Qin Changhuan were left in front of the stone table, and the rest of them were standing three zhang away, no matter how weak the wind was, their conversation could not reach anyone's ears at all.
He seemed to come prepared.
"I know what you called me for, and I only have one condition."
Tang Ruoxu sat opposite, raised his hand, and the sleeve went to the back of his arm, no longer affecting any of his movements.
He did come prepared, and the sharpness between his eyebrows seemed to have recognized something, and there was no way back.
Qin Changhuan picked up the folding fan, shook his jade wrist slightly, and the breeze blew, driving a strand of messy hair on his sideburns, and the hair was entangled, teasing his cheeks that were slightly red from the blazing light.
At this moment, she is extremely gentle and lovely.
"Your Highness, don't you want to go with me?"
Tang Ruoxu didn't speak, so he acquiesced.
If this was in Beiyan, she agreed.
It's a pity that this is Dong Shen, and he is the prince of the East Palace, and hundreds of pairs of eyes follow him at every turn, even if he has ten million vigilant hearts, he can't prevent villains from doing trouble.
The beauty took it back, Qin Changhuan glanced left and right, and deliberately lowered his voice, embarrassed.
"Your Highness, do you know how many pairs of eyes you have stared at as soon as you leave the palace?"
Tang Ruoxu snorted lightly, deliberately not looking at her, but relying on her to ask for herself, he became conceited, "You want to leave the palace in my name, right?" Otherwise, you can leave the palace after dark like last time. ”
Since the news of the envoy's rapid entry into the capital reached the emperor's ears, the number of soldiers patrolling the entire Ember Palace was more than three times more than usual.
Moreover, the envoy team of Beiyan has already entered the other party's jurisdiction and sphere of influence, so he will naturally be more careful, I heard that it is Yan Heng's close guard Ye Kang who is following Qiancheng, that is an iron-faced and selfless guy.
It was a bit difficult to slip in under his nose.
Combined with various factors, it is much easier to go out of the palace under the orders of the prince and go to see the envoys again.
"Since I have asked His Highness, I naturally have other hardships, and I hope ......" Qin Changhuan stepped out and said sincerely towards Tang Ruoxu, "I also hope that Your Highness will be fulfilled." ”
It was the first time she had compromised so much in front of him.
Is it for the sake of a thousand cities?
The doubts in his heart slid all the way down the blood vessels to his mouth, but he looked at Qin Changhuan's sincere gaze and swallowed it alive. At this time, the two of them should not be unhappy.
"That's it, you take this token, I will have someone call you in the evening, you just pretend to be the palace maid I arranged to deliver things, just go out of the palace with the team, if you come back late, use the token to come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and hurriedly led the people away.
That's it, it's a long time coming.
The wind he brought up swept on Qin Changhuan's body so coldly, it was obviously the sun shining, why did the back garden of the Fuhua Palace become a little cold?
She shivered fiercely, waved her hand in the direction of Tang Ruoxu, and smiled like a flower.
"Your Highness, I wrote down what you said!"
When only Cuizhu was left by her side, she sat back on the stone bench a little lonely, picked up the tea cup in front of her, didn't know whether to drink it or not, and thousands of thoughts were mixed together in her heart, but she didn't know which one was more important.
Her thoughts of seeing Qianchengjue are true, but Tang Ruoxu's naked confession is also true.
is a huge palace, and everyone can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested in her, but only she pretends not to know anything, and politely refuses in his temptations again and again.
Others don't know, but she understands.
He wanted to keep her by his side, but with other interests.
I think that at the beginning, when he was trapped in the Beiyan Palace, he also asked her if she would like to go back to Dongyan with him, form an alliance with Dongyan, and deal with Beiyan together.
What he had in mind was never love, love, love.
But for Qin Changhuan, the enmity between the family and the country is the top priority at the moment, and slashing Yan Heng is the best result.
The betrayal three years ago did make her very disappointed in the love between men and women, she didn't want to affect anyone anymore, if she gave any hope, it would be a hurt to Tang Ruoxu.
What's more, if she takes 10,000 steps back, even if she really meets someone who makes her willing to trust one day, that person will definitely not be Tang Ruoxu.
Somehow, thinking of this, the face of Zhan Yunyuan, who was in the cave that day, wearing a silver mask, suddenly appeared in his mind.
