Chapter 230: Attending the Feast

In the previous life, Chu Xiaoxiang was a legendary agent, cold and ruthless.

Until she met Helian Chen, a handsome and talented young man, just like a warm winter sun, driving away all the cold, ice and snow covering her.

Now, he actually said that he knew her.

Chu Xiaoxiang let out an uncomfortable "oh", nodded a little uncomfortably, and then blushed.

The two of them chatted while walking back to the princess's mansion.

When I first returned to the princess's mansion, the butler's voice came from the door of the princess's mansion: "Princess, just now a young man came to the mansion to look for you. It's been waiting for a while, and he claims to be your friend. ”

"My friend?" Chu Xiaoxiang was surprised, and he didn't know which friend this housekeeper was talking about.

Waving his hand, Chu Xiaoxiang said to the housekeeper: "Steward Wang, you should step back first." I know. ”

"Okay," Steward Wang was stunned for a moment, nodded and left.

Chu Xiaoxiang and He Lianchen walked inside by themselves, and at this time, they suddenly saw a strange and familiar figure in the princess's mansion.

"It's Muxun! What are you doing here? When Chu Xiaoxiang saw the man, he suddenly said with a happy face.

Mu Xun was stunned, and was about to answer, when he suddenly looked at Helian Chen behind Chu Xiaoxiang, and looked at him angrily with a displeased expression.

Mu Xun's eyes lit up: "I was chasing someone in the palace, but as soon as I traced it, I found that this matter didn't seem to be so simple." So I came to Ji Guo, thinking that you were here, I couldn't help but come over and have a look. ”

"Huh? What kind of person," Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes were full of surprise.

"It's the last time, the matter of the concubine in the palace. At that time, wasn't her palace burned? I traced it all the way and found out that ......"

Mu Xun said, and didn't continue, Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned and nodded: "Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with the people of our Ji Kingdom?" ”

"No, I suspect that this matter may have something to do with the people of all four of us......"

Mu Xun frowned.

Chu Xiaoxiang looked puzzled and puzzled, even Helian Chen on the side, who was just listening coldly just now, couldn't help but join in.

"How?" Helian Chen said coldly.

Originally, I thought that Mu Xun's sudden appearance was just because he never let go of Ji Range's heart, so he followed Ji Guo. But now Mu Xun's look of seriousness made Helian Chen's heart can't help but have questions.

"Look at it, this ......"

Mu Xun pursed his thin lips, turned to look at Chu Xiaoxiang, took out a jade pendant from his purse, and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiang.

"This jade pendant seems to be from our Fengguo Imperial Palace," Chu Xiaoxiang said with a surprised expression.

Mu Xun nodded: "I once saw a jade pendant similar to this on your body......"

Mu Xun almost rushed out, and suddenly looked at Helian Chen on the side with some inappropriateness.

His expression was complicated, and even a little pale, so Mu Xun didn't look at him again, but said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "I know, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"The palace of the concubine was burned down, there must be someone else ...... this matter"

Mu Xun hooked the corners of his lips and finished speaking, and he heard Chu Xiaoxiang on the side ask with a concerned face: "Who is that?" And if you leave the palace, what about the dust country? Now you are the king of the kingdom of dust, if you have been out of the palace for a long time......"

"I came out this time specifically to investigate this matter. As for those matters in my palace, you can rest assured that they have been handed over to the relevant reliable people to help me take care of them. ”

"I told them that I came to celebrate the accession to your little prince, so I ......"

Mu Xunzheng said, Chu Xiaoxiang finally nodded with some reassurance: "Since this is the case, by the way, tonight in the palace, there will be a palace feast supervised by the Queen Mother herself, specially to thank the officials and envoys of various countries......"

"I didn't think you'd come to participate, so why don't you ...... with us then"

When Mu Xun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of worry in his heart, and frowned slightly between his eyebrows: "Since it was the princess who personally invited him, Mu Xun has no reason to refuse." Moreover, this is a matter for your Wind Country, and Mu Xun has no reason to ask......"

"It's just that, princess, you just said that the Queen Mother held it? Dowager? ”

Mu Xun's eyes frowned slightly, but there was a strange light in his eyes.

Chu Xiaoxiang knew what Mu Xun was worried about, so he added: "Yes, the banquet was indeed held by the Queen Mother." The little prince is young, and the queen mother helps to preside over many things, which seems to be nothing. ”

"The prince is young?"

Mu Xun suddenly remembered himself, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "Princess, are you sure that the Queen Mother will not take advantage of this time to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

Chu Xiaoxiang shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, in the early dynasty today, there were two more regent kings in the palace: King Pingnan and the Thirteenth Prince." It is clear that there is an intention in the court to appease them......"

"But what if......"

Mu Xun was still worried, but after seeing Chu Xiaoxiang next to him and Helian Chen beside her, he didn't continue after all.

Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned, knowing that what Mu Xun did was nothing more than to regard himself as a good friend.

So, she said to Mu Xun calmly: "No, although the prince is young, the Wind Country has always taken care of reputation, so everyone will restrain each other and will not act rashly." ”

Although Mu Xun didn't understand the meaning of the word "restriction", he saw Chu Xiaoxiang's very confident face, so he also pursed his thin lips.

"Hopefully everything will go well. I also hope that the four countries will be able to reach a peace agreement sooner. ”

"It will be," Chu Xiaoxiang said, and Chao Mu Xun smiled slightly: "As long as you get the Moon Country and the Wind Country." I'm sure I'll be able to ......."

Mu Xun was slightly stunned and nodded.

"May everything be as the princess wishes." Mu Xun said, and was about to turn around and leave, when Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?" ”

Mu Xun was slightly stunned for a moment, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "The embassy, the embassy of our Dust Country in the Sending Ji Country, is not far from here......

Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly looked at Mu Xun with an expression of disbelief: "But if you live in the embassy, if you really do what you said, you are not afraid of startling the snake?" ”

"After all, the person who burned down the palace of the concubine is still in the dark, in case he knows, you left the palace to send someone to inquire about him......"

Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, and at this time, Mu Xun's face showed a trace of displeasure: "What the princess said is not unreasonable. ”

"If I don't live in an embassy, where can I stay? Could it be that the princess meant, should I stay at the inn? ”

Mu Xun was talking, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang looked back at He Lianchen, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, although he hadn't spoken yet, Helian Chen vaguely knew what she wanted to say.

"If the princess has something to say or do, just say and do. Acceptable ......"

After Helian Chen finished speaking, there was a trace of tenderness on his face and he looked at Chu Xiaoxiang.

Chu Xiaoxiang turned her face inexplicably and looked at Mu Xun, although Helian Chen's words gave her a trace of warmth, but for the sake of the overall situation, she had to say.

"Why don't you stay with me temporarily, just say it's my cousin, so that it won't attract attention, and you can also secretly inquire about what you want to inquire about......"

After Chu Xiaoxiang finished speaking, he added: "As long as you live in the princess's mansion, everyone can take care of each other, what do you think?" ”

"Then let's do it," Helian Chen was very rare, he didn't object, but his eyes locked on Chu Xiaoxiang more tightly.

Mu Xun looked surprised, he didn't expect that at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang would actually invite him to live in his princess's mansion.

Although he didn't think about it originally, he thought it was just a thought, but he didn't expect that Chu Xiaoxiang would really invite him.

Since the princess warmly invited, Mu Xun had no reason to refuse. After Mu Xun finished explaining the affairs of his subordinates, he ......"

Mu Xun said, and was about to turn around and leave, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly remembered something, and said to Mu Xun: "Okay, Mu Xun, that's it." If it is the queen mother's banquet in the evening, it is inconvenient for you to attend it yourself, but you can also send envoys over. That shouldn't be too noticeable. ”

Mu Xun listened and nodded.

"It's rare that you, princess, are so careful, and think so carefully for Mu. If it was ,......" Mu Xun thought, how good would it be if he could meet Ji Range earlier?

He knew Ji Range when he was a child, but who knew that he was intercepted by the concubine Qiyan halfway.

Thinking of this, Mu Xun felt a little hatred in his heart, but he shook his hair in the blink of an eye, unwilling to let this bad mood continue to affect him.

"What if? Mu Xun, you are now the emperor of the dust country, what kind of woman is not beside you, no matter how good the song is, it is also my woman. ”

Helian Chen suddenly spoke, breaking the previous tranquility, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little stunned, he didn't expect Helian Chen to be so angry, it turned out that he would also be jealous.

couldn't help but lift his leg and stepped on Helian Chen's leg. Helian Chen shouted "pain" repeatedly, and he lowered his head to cover it, but at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang was obviously ignoring all this.

"I'm sorry, Muxun. Don't mind," Chu Xiaoxiang just smiled politely and politely.

But Mu Xun mistakenly thought that she was a little embarrassed and wanted to keep herself.

"It's okay," Mu Xun hooked the corners of his lips slightly and smiled, "I don't mind, I still have something to do with the princess, and I'll come back later......"

"Okay," Chu Xiaoxiang pursed lightly, and smiled with thin lips.

In the evening, the Queen Mother held a feast about the enthronement of the little emperor Ji Zisheng in the imperial garden of the palace.

Chu Xiaoxiang and Ma Helianchen, the civil and military kings of the Manchu Dynasty and the local vassal kings, and the ambassadors of various countries, were included in the list of invitees in the harem.

The sky was filled with brilliance, and there was joy and peace all around.

Chu Xiaoxiang looked around with an incredulous expression, stepped on the red carpet, followed Helian Chen, walked to the queen mother in the palace, and bowed down to her.

The little emperor sat aside, and the moment he saw Chu Xiaoxiang, his eyes burst with obvious joy.

was about to say something, when he heard the Queen Mother speak: "Princess Gulun is here, no need to be polite." The pony is also there? ”
