Chapter Eighty-Six: Crisis
When the fourth prince left, Chu Xiaoxiang still felt like she couldn't come back to her senses, the news he said just now made her feel a little worried in her heart, although she didn't know if this matter was true or not, but she was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if this matter was true.
It will also be a huge threat to them, and at this time, Helian Chen has already left, and when he came back, he saw that he had been looking in the direction not far away, and coughed slightly.
"People have already gone away, and they are still so reluctant, I don't know that I think you really like this fourth prince."
"I just think this fourth prince is particularly interesting, and just now I told me a special news, he said that the remaining two countries intend to want to marry."
When Helian Chen heard this, he frowned slightly, if this matter was true, it would be a huge threat to them, but now they are not sure.
"After this matter goes back, we will discuss the other party's sources carefully, it really makes people feel a little suspicious, who knows if what he said is true or false, in case it lies to us."
"But I don't think there's any need to lie to us at all!"
Chu Xiaoxiang muttered carefully, this matter really made him a little puzzled, the two of them talked while walking, and when they just passed by the garden, they heard the trees next to them, and the sound of two people talking came from behind.
"I heard that the empress wants to marry the four princes to others, you have to hurry, if you don't hurry up and propose, it is estimated that the four princes will be married to others."
Suddenly hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly stopped, glanced at it curiously, and saw a man and a woman talking.
The man was dressed very gorgeously and looked like a person from the palace, but as for the woman, she was dressed very plainly, but she was extravagant.
At this time, I saw that the man opened his mouth slightly, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
"The family has already begun to decline, where can I still marry the prince, I'm afraid that even if he is with me, it will only delay him, not to mention that I will never allow her to marry me."
Such words sound a little sad, Chu Xiaoxiang heard it very clearly, maybe he felt a little curious in his heart, curious about the relationship between these two people, this man was like an elder, constantly comforting him, but there was something wrong with his eyes, which made people feel that there was a trace of love in their eyes.
"It's really interesting, as if we've discovered some amazing secret."
Helian Chen didn't say a word, just looked at him dotingly, with a kind expression on his face, and then reached out and rubbed his head.
Over there, after hearing these words, the man felt that he was a little discouraged, and snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Since you like him, then don't look ahead, not to mention that I have seen that Princess Chu does not want to marry the fourth prince, which means that you still have a chance, is it possible that you really want to watch him marry, and then marry another country."
After saying these words, he sighed leisurely, and then when he raised his head again, there was a hint of firmness in his tone.
"If you really want to be with him, in fact, I have a good way, you just need to elope with the four princes, so that no one can find out where the two of you have gone, and you two can still be free outside in the future."
"No, the two of us don't have matchmakers, and we don't have the orders of our parents, I just hurt him by doing this, I definitely can't be so selfish."
"What are you afraid of, the four princes must also like you, since the two of you are in love, why can't you be together, not to mention that now this princess Chu is in the country, even if the four princes disappear by then, the emperor will not dare to look for it with great fanfare, not only that, but we can also push all this onto Princess Chu."
The other party was wishful thinking, Chu Xiaoxiang touched his nose, thinking that he hadn't done anything, so he had to carry it here, she had no interest in getting involved in these things, but she didn't plan to directly unveil this veil, that is, the empress's affairs had nothing to do with her.
The discussion continued over there, Chu Xiaoxiang heard footsteps coming from behind, and hurriedly pulled Helian Chen to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, so as not to be involved in it.
"Tell me who I'm provoking whom, I haven't done it for any time, and I've been worried by so many people, and they all want to use my identity to achieve their goals."
"It can only be said that it is too coincidental that you came, and now it is an eventful time in the Moon Kingdom, so these people have all taken this opportunity to run out and use Chu Xiaoxiang's arrival to achieve their own goals."
"What should we do now?"
"Let's go back and discuss the news that the fourth prince gave you, and see what Mu Xun has to say."
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded, and the two of them returned to the banquet, after all, it was a flower-viewing banquet held by the empress herself, and she had to wait until the empress herself said that it was over.
The banquet has come to an end, although this marriage did not succeed in the end, but everyone looked at Xiao Chu Xiaoxiang with a different amount of eyes, and being able to receive such attention from the empress has already shown the value of Chu Xiaoxiang itself.
At this time, the second princess came over drunkenly and walked in front of Chu Xiaoxiang with a wine glass.
"The relationship between the princess and the concubine is so good, you have to be together in and out, it seems that the concubine is really favored, but women should still do something serious, if you put all the things on these children's affections, it will inevitably make others look down on you."
Speaking of this, he sneered slightly, and Helianchen's eyes were a little intimate at the beginning, and he didn't seem to put Helianchen in his eyes at all.
"A man is a thing in the Yue Kingdom, and the existence of being able to live dependent on a woman is not worth spending too much time paying attention to, Her Royal Highness the Princess is too childlike."
Helian Chen's eyes were slightly cold, Chu Xiaoxiang stood up directly, who made him a person who was born to protect his shortcomings, and the words had already been said to this point, it would be strange if he was indifferent.
"The words of the second princess are really chilling after listening to them, but your brother is also a man, but now you have publicly said such remarks, is it possible that all the male dependents present can only become accessories like an appendage?"
If he really dares to nod his head and agree, it means that he will offend many people, and as long as anyone blows the pillow wind in these years, there will definitely be more trouble.
"Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying?"
Chu Xiaoxiang asked knowingly, just to see how he wanted to answer recently, the other party's face suddenly became a little ugly, he didn't expect Chu Xiaoxiang to refute in front of so many people, and he breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
"Sure enough, the horse is handsome, so he can be favored by the princess like this, but I don't know how long this favor can last."
Helian Chen stood up at this time, although there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, it gave people a very cold feeling.
"Second princess, in your impression, men are not as good as women, in that case, are you interested in competing with me?"
"How do you want to compete?"
"Although the second princess has a question, I will take it no matter what kind of written test it is."
There was a hint of arrogance in Helianchen's tone, but such words came out of her mouth as if they were born to be like this, Chu Xiaoxiang instead sat on the side and watched the show, very curious about the final competition between these two people, but in fact he was not afraid of Helianchen at all, because he knew Helianchen's ability.
"In that case, let's race to shoot arrows on horseback!"
Soon the people around heard the news, and all of them gathered around to watch the excitement, Feng An directly asked his subordinates to prepare the things to be used in the game later, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
"I just hope you don't throw in the towel later."
Their competition is to shoot willow leaves, willow leaves are thin and narrow, it is not easy to be able to shoot, Feng An also has two real skills, otherwise he would not dare to use such a competition, shooting willow leaves was originally standing fifty meters away, but he took the initiative to stand one hundred meters away.
After the other party saw it, he shot a willow leaf directly, and the people present applauded, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little disdainful, the reason why women in Yue Country are stronger than men is because of the constraints of rules, and the men here will not learn martial arts, once they learn things like riding and archery martial arts, they will not be able to marry and be looked down upon by others.
This is the same as the suppression of masculinism, but Helian Chen is different, he has never been subjected to this kind of suppression, it is difficult to win against him, and men have a natural advantage in strength.
"If you say it again at this time, it is still feasible, and Your Highness will never laugh at it."
After hearing such words, it made people feel a little funny, Helian Chen didn't say a word, just vigorously checked the bow and arrow in his hand, and then shook his head.
Feng An thought he was scared, and the next second he said lightly.
"This bow is too weak, I need a heavier bow!"
"If you say such a big thing, you're not afraid to laugh off your big teeth!"
Feng An's own strength has surpassed that of normal men, and other people in Ji Guo may not be able to compare with Feng An, but only Helian Chen is different, Helian Chen is more demanding than other men, plus his own strength is also there, few people can be his opponents.
Feng An investigated the information beforehand and thought that Helian Chen was an ordinary weak official, after all, he was a civilian official and had never transferred troops, so he subconsciously thought that he didn't know martial arts.
"It's better to keep a little bit of the horse, in case the bow and arrow are brought to you when the time comes, and you can't even pick it up, won't it make everyone laugh."
The other people in Yue Guo are all in the mood of watching the excitement, after all, they look down on men in their bones, plus Chu Xiaoxiang and they are from Ji Guo, taking advantage of this opportunity, they can also suppress Chu Xiaoxiang's self-confidence, which can be regarded as a big dismount.
"Whether I have the ability or not, you'll find out later."
