Chapter 5: The Prince Appears
"It's a pity that the prince can't go to the banquet today because he is sick, otherwise the prince will be very happy to see Princess Wanyang, so stunning, it's really hard to find in the world." Luo Xuanran praised openly, and secretly belittled Lianzhi with only one face. And at the reception banquet set up for her today, the prince couldn't get sick, Luo Xuanran was telling her that the prince didn't like her.
Lianzhi was not angry: "In the early years, I heard that the folk customs of Western Chu and Eastern Xia were different, and I never thought that even the etiquette in the palace was very different from my Eastern Xia. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Luo Xuanran asked subconsciously.
"Dongxia is just a small barbarian country, and our Western Chu is different from you." Without waiting for Lian Zhi to speak, Wen Miqing had already spoken, and he didn't put Dongxia in his eyes at all.
Lianzhi still smiled, as if he had no temper: "In our Dongxia, although we attach importance to women's appearance, we pay more attention to conduct, and I never thought that I would come to this Xichu, but I wanted to put appearance first." Wan Yang was still glad in her heart when she heard the queen's words just now, fortunately, I can still see the past, otherwise I would have to go back immediately after entering Xichu? ”
The entire Immortal Palace fell into an eerie silence, no one dared to talk to Luo Xuanran like this, Lian Zhi suddenly didn't notice everyone's abnormality: "Since the queen mother has praised me so much, I also have to praise the queen mother for really having a good appearance, after all, according to the etiquette of Xichu, the queen mother must be unparalleled." ”
"Presumptuous!" The man sitting opposite Lianzhi spoke, "You are also a princess of a country, how can you say such an unelegant thing in front of the people in the palace?" ”
Lianzhi was not in a hurry: "I didn't understand the customs of this place when I first came to Xichu, but when I saw the queen and the princess for the first time, I always praised my appearance. ”
"You ......" The man didn't know what to say, Wen Xize frowned: "Knowing words, don't be unreasonable." ”
Lianzhi immediately knew his identity, Wen Zhiyan, the great prince of Western Chu, and the son of Luo Xuanran. Then the one sitting next to Wen Zhiyan should be the second prince Wen Zhiyu, and the one sitting across Wen Miqing from the two of them is the fifth prince Wen Zhiyan, and the woman sitting next to the fifth prince should be the sixth princess Wen Yunxi.
Wen Xize's sons should have inherited his appearance, and they all had good appearances. In Lianzhi's opinion, Wen Zhiyan and Wen Xize are the most similar, and even the elegance on his body is somewhat similar, Wen Zhiyu looks a little gloomy, and Wen Zhiyan shows a little free and easy. Wen Yunxi is Wen Xize's youngest daughter, and she is indeed not as beautiful as Wen Miqing, but it makes people feel kind and happy when they look at it.
Wen Zhiyan was reprimanded by Wen Xize, so he picked up the wine glass in front of him and apologized to Lianzhi: "It's this king who is abrupt." ”
Lianzhi picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all: "It's okay." ”
"I see that Princess Wanyang is not very familiar with the etiquette of Xichu, so it is better to be familiar with the etiquette before entering the East Palace. You should always know what to say and what not to say! Wen Xize postponed Lianzhi's wedding indefinitely with a word, but Lianzhi was quite satisfied with this, and she didn't really want to marry Wen Zhiyu.
Luo Xuanran spoke up again: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Princess Wanyang is now living in the post house, although it won't be short, but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn any etiquette, so it's better to arrange a place for Princess Wanyang in the palace, how about it?" ”
Wen Xize was noncommittal, and Wen Miqing opened his mouth when he saw this: "There is still a side hall there for Erchen, so it is better to let Princess Wanyang accompany Erchen." ”
"There is also a side hall in the main palace, does Princess Wanyang want to live in this side of the palace, or live in the fourth princess?" Luo Xuanran seems to let Lianzhi make his own choice, but what is the meaning of this choice?
Lian Zhi laughed in his heart, this Luo Xuanran and Wen Miqing wanted to take this opportunity to pinch themselves. Is it really when she has no temper?
"I have seen Xichu's hospitality today." From the beginning of entering the Hall of Eternal Life, Lianzhi faced many difficulties alone, and always returned it with a hidden needle, but she didn't expect her to show her edge at this time, "It is said that Dongxia is not as good as Xichu, but I have never lived in a partial hall in Dongxia, but I didn't expect to come to Xichu, and I want to open my eyes." First of all, regardless of whether I am still a princess of a country, even if the identity of the future princess of Xichu is here, I don't know which side palace the queen thinks is suitable for this palace? ”
When he said the last sentence, Lianzhi's tone was already a little solemn.
None of the people present today can forget this scene in front of them, everyone knows that Dongxia will not be able to beat Xichu to send the princess of Zhenguo to make peace, but from the moment she came in, she has never shown weakness in the slightest, and has maintained the dignity of Dongxia with her soft shoulders.
At this moment, Lian Zhi did not have the slightest smile on her face, but looked at Luo Xuanran very seriously, Luo Xuanran was a little clueless under such a gaze, and she couldn't say a word at the moment even if she had a bright tongue.
Wen Xize also wanted to give Lianzhi a dismissal, so he let Luo Xuanran embarrass her, but now it seems that this Dongxia princess is not simple. Wen Xize wanted to say something, so that Lianzhi took a step back, only to hear the palace people shouting: "The prince has arrived!" ”
Wen Zhiyu and his faction calmly walked the Hall of Eternal Life, and he went straight to Wen Xize to say goodbye: "Erchen has seen his father and the queen mother. ”
"Isn't the prince sick, the palace still thinks you won't come today!" Luo Xuanran said.
"Since you're here, let's sit down first." Wen Xize waved his hand and motioned for Wen Zhiyu to sit down.
Wen Zhiyu and Lianzhi's seats were adjacent, but Wen Zhiyu did not sit down first: "Father, Erchen just found out outside that the Hall of Eternal Life is exceptionally quiet today, which is a little strange. ”
Wen Xize glanced at Lianzhi, who was sitting steadily: "Sitting there is Lin Wanyang, the princess of the Zhenguo Kingdom of Dongxia, and also your future crown princess, just now the queen was discussing where to let Princess Wanyang live, and there was some dispute." ”
Wen Zhiyu saluted Wen Xize again: "Father, the retainer thinks that Princess Wanyang has come thousands of miles to make peace, so naturally she can't be lazy, does even a small matter like residence need to be moved to the table to discuss?" After speaking, he added, "If the queen mother can't find a suitable place, you can also arrange for Princess Wanyang to live in the East Palace temporarily, anyway, sooner or later she will enter the East Palace." ”
Wen Xize looked at Wen Zhiming, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the others also looked at Wen Zhiming, Lianzhi and Wen Xize, but they didn't expect the prince to wade into this troubled water.
"The prince is really good at messing around, Princess Wanyang and you are not married before living in the East Palace, I remember that Yuyang Palace is still empty, just Yuyang Palace." Wen Xize settled on Yuyang Palace, Wen Miqing was immediately dissatisfied, she liked Yuyang Palace very much, she wanted to beg her father to move over in a few days, but she didn't expect to let Lian stop going in.
Wen Zhiyu pulled Wen Miqing's sleeve and signaled her not to act rashly, Wen Miqing could only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"There, the minister thanked his father for Princess Wanyang." Wen Zhiyu sat down as she spoke.
In fact, from the time Wen Zhiyu appeared, Lianzhi was a little confused, Wen Zhiyu actually looked exactly the same as Meng Ling, maybe it should be said that Meng Ling was Wen Zhiling. She thought that she and Meng Ling might not have the chance to see each other again, but she didn't expect that she would meet Meng Ling again soon after she arrived in Western Chu, and Meng Ling turned into Wen Zhiyu, the prince of Western Chu.
It would be false to say that he was not angry, so Lian Zhi deliberately did not look at Wen Zhiyu.
As soon as Wen Zhiyu sat down, Wen Zhiyu raised his glass to him: "Third brother, I thought you wouldn't show up today, but I thought it was for Princess Wanyang to leave this trip, right?" I, the second brother, congratulate you on marrying a beauty as soon as possible. ”
Lian Zhi glanced at Wen Zhiyu, this is a blatant attack on Wen Zhiyu, it seems that Wen Zhiyu's position as the crown prince is not very stable.
Wen Zhiyu didn't look at Wen Zhiyu, but looked at Lianzhi: "I have heard that the princess of Dongxia Zhenguo turned the tide when Dongxia was in chaos, quelled civil strife, and established a new emperor, this mind is absolutely beyond the reach of people, whether it is beautiful or ugly, it is the blessing of this king to marry such a princess." ”
Unlike several other princes, Wen Zhiyu looks more like his biological mother Su Yu, with a beautiful appearance, and his facial features are as delicate as a knife and an axe, especially the slightly raised corners of his eyes add a bit of charm, but his temperament is calm, and he does not look frivolous and feminine at all.
There is no shortage of women in the royal family, and when they heard Wen Zhiyu's words, they all blushed, thinking in their hearts that the prince actually thought so highly of this princess of Wanyang, and he really didn't know that this princess was a blessing from several generations.
"Then I may have to disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am not very familiar with the Crown Prince."
Listening to Lianzhi's tone, Wen Zhiyu knew that she was angry that she was lying to her under the pseudonym Meng Ling, but this is okay, if Lianzhi is close to herself, I am afraid that many people will feel uneasy.
