Chapter 4: Going to the Feast

In the East Palace, the cold wind traveled all the way to the pavilion, it was already autumn, and the pavilion was surrounded by curtains to block the wind. In the gazebo sat a man who was playing against himself, and the situation on the chessboard was in full swing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Princess Xichu has already entered Beijing, and she is going to a banquet tonight, you have been sick for this time, will you still go to the banquet tonight?" Cold Wind asked.

Because of the curtain, Wen Zhiyu's face could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that the hand holding the chess was very beautiful.

Wen Zhiyu didn't answer Han Feng's words, he held the sunspot, thinking about how to make a move, and finally threw the sunspot directly into the chess box: "It's still interesting to play chess with the fifth brother." As he spoke, he got up and walked out of the pavilion, "Since people are here, they have to take a look, but it still depends on the timing, and they can't satisfy their father, and they can't dissatisfy their father......

Han Feng kept his head down, only to see the white brocade robe embroidered with gold thread passing past him, and Wen Zhiyu had already left.

When Han Feng turned to look at Wen Zhiyu, he only saw a tall and slender figure. He walked into the pavilion and looked at the endgame on the chessboard, with the black and white on each side, to see which side Wen Zhiyu wanted to win.

In this way, it is not interesting to play chess with yourself, no wonder Wen Zhiyu always talks about playing chess with the five princes.

Gonggong Li arranged for Xiao Quanzi, who had been following him to do things, to pick up Lianzhi on time, and Anping originally wanted to follow him, but he was directly rejected, and Anping almost had to do it with them.

Just when the two sides were tense, Lianzhi's voice came from upstairs: "General An, since you won't be allowed to follow, then you can rest in the post house." ”

Everyone looked up at the second floor, Lianzhi was slowly walking downstairs, she was wearing a dark flower cloud brocade palace dress, a white cloak on the outside, and a tassel hairpin between her buns, but the tassel swaying was almost negligible as she walked.

Even Xiao Quanzi has to admit that the princess of Dongxia Zhenguo is really peerless and dignified and self-controlled, and she really has the demeanor of a princess of a country, even far surpassing the two princesses of Xichu.

Lian Zhi was a little bitter in her heart, Fan Ninghuai has always done things without leakage, and she deliberately asked her grandmother to teach her palace etiquette, she learned things quickly, so that Fan Ninghuai and Lin Wanyang were very satisfied, and now they can be regarded as using it.

"Princess, you go alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." General Anping persuaded.

"General An, if there is really something, what is the use of you even if you go?" Lianzhi's rhetorical question left An Ping speechless.

Xiao Quanzi said with a smile: "Princess Zhenguo is really smart. ”

"And this palace is not going alone today, this father-in-law won't even let a palace maid take it, right?" Lianzhi looked at Xiao Quanzi with a smile, and Xiao Quanzi finally knew that this princess was not a fool: "Of course you can bring it." ”

"Suying, let's go." Lianzhi shouted.

Su Ying herself was taken aback, she originally thought that Lian Zhi would take Su Yue into the palace, but she didn't expect to take her.

"Then please get in the car." Xiao Quanzi said.

Su Ying helped Lian Zhi into the car, Su Ying sat down next to him, and the carriage moved.

Su Ying quietly looked at Lianzhi, always feeling a little strange. During this period of time, Su Yue has been serving closely, and everyone thinks that the most trusted person in Lianzhi is Su Yue, but I didn't expect it to be abnormal today, why is this?

"You're wondering why Hongu chose you, right?" Lianzhi suddenly spoke.

Su Ying lowered her head: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"What would you not dare? If you are thinking about what kind of person this palace is, this palace will naturally think about what kind of person you are. Lian Zhi paused, "When you come to Xichu, what this palace can rely on is you, Su Yue and Su Qing, Su Yue has a lively temperament, Su Qing is bold, you are a cautious character." Today, I went to the palace for a banquet, and it is most suitable to take you with me. ”

Su Ying was shocked, they all thought that the princess hadn't paid attention to them at all along the way, but they didn't expect the princess to know them so well before they knew it.

"Since this palace dares to take you into the palace, you don't have to be afraid, understand?"

The uneasiness in Su Ying's heart slowly sank: "The slave understands. ”

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Su Ying helped Lianzhi to get out of the car, and slowly walked towards the palace under the leadership of Xiao Quanzi.

Xiao Quanzi seems to be leading the way, but in fact, she has been paying attention to Lianzhi and Suying. Both Lianzhi and Suying did not squint, but walked forward, as if they had never seen this magnificent palace.

If it's a lotus, it's fine, but ordinary little palace maids are always a little curious about new things, but Su Ying can also resist the temptation, which makes Xiao Quanzi look high. This princess of Zhenguo is obviously not easy to mess with, she is very familiar with the people around her, even the palace maid takes it to heart, which shows that she is thoughtful.

Chu Emperor Wen Xize set up a banquet in the Hall of Eternal Life, the steps in front of the Hall of Eternal Life were very high, Lianzhi followed Xiao Quanzi step by step up the steps, looking at the palace in front of him, Lianzhi took a deep breath, tonight's reception banquet may have ulterior motives.

"Princess Dongxia arrives in ......"

When Lian Zhi stepped into the main hall, the royal family members were already seated, and the Chu Emperor sat on the high platform, chatting happily with several royal family members, and seemed to have forgotten who this banquet was for today. At the moment when Lianzhi entered the door, all the voices of speech were quiet, and the sound of silk and bamboo also stopped, and everyone's eyes fell on Lianzhi.

Lianzhi walked to the center of the main hall unhurriedly and made a very standard salute: "Lin Wanyang, the princess of Dongxia Zhenguo, greets Emperor Chu." "It's a prostration, not a kneeling, and a princess of a country can't kneel down easily after all.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lianzhi, Wen Xize's eyes were full of coercion, if the others were here, they would just be afraid that they would kneel. Su Ying was originally kneeling, but in this case, she still kept her upper body straight, which was the only Dongxia face she could maintain.

Seeing that Lianzhi didn't move for a long time and kept saluting, Wen Xize seemed to have lost interest: "It turned out that the princess of Zhenguo had arrived, why bother with this big gift?" ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Lianzhi's voice remained calm, which made Wen Xize a little displeased: "Raise your head." ”

It was obviously a very insulting sentence, but Lianzhi slowly raised his head and looked at Wen Xize as if he couldn't hear the meaning of the words.

Wen Xize is in the prime of life, and it is not difficult to see that he must have been handsome when he was young, and even if he is no longer young, he still maintains a bit of elegance. The elegance of the emperor is all an illusion, especially an ambitious emperor like Wen Xize.

When Wen Xize saw Lianzhi's appearance, a different color flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting: "Princess Wanyang, can I call you that?" ”

"Just a name." Lianzhi replied.

"Princess Wanyang is really good, I didn't expect Dongxia to be willing to let you and Xichu." A woman suddenly spoke, and Lianzhi looked at the woman, who was clearly dressed as a princess.

It is rumored that Emperor Chu is extremely fond of his four princesses, and the one who dares to speak at this time is probably the fourth princess: "The fourth princess praised it falsely." ”

"How do you know I'm the fourth princess?" Wen Miqing asked, his words full of brutality.

"Naturally, the princess revealed it between her words and deeds." Who didn't know that the fourth princess was the most rude, Lianzhi was sarcastic about her, and Wen Miqing's anger immediately came up: "Lin Wanyang, this is not your Dongxia, you dare to be so bold in Xichu." ”

"I have always heard that Emperor Chu loves his fourth princess very much, and the fourth princess is indeed very favored when he looks like just now, am I wrong?"

Wen Miqing felt like she had punched cotton, knowing that what Lian Zhi said was wrong, but she couldn't refute it.

"Princess Wanyang is really sharp-toothed." The woman sitting on the phoenix seat spoke, she was Luo Xuanran, the successor of Xi Chu. After the death of the previous queen Su Yu, Wen Xize registered Luo Xuanran as the queen, and the crown prince Wen Zhiyan was the son of Su Yu, ranking third, and was born as a prince.

Luo Xuanran also looked graceful and luxurious, but in Lianzhi's opinion, he was still a little less demure after all: "Wanyang is just telling the truth." ”

"Sit down first." Wen Xize spoke, and Xiao Quanzi took the lotus stop and sat down.

"When Princess Wanyang first arrived in Xichu, if there is anything she is not used to, she must tell this palace, and this palace will take care of you a little bit." Luo Xuanran Shi Ran spoke, very wise and generous.

Lianzhi smiled slightly: "Thank you for the queen's care." ”
