Chapter 307: Worldly Shackles

The day after the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang came, Cheng Shengquan held a banquet in the palace that night to entertain the Southern Xinjiang envoys.

And Zhao Huiwei is also on the banquet list, and now there are not many people in the capital who know her identity, so Lin Huaian made her a set of gorgeous clothes.

The color is aqua blue, which looks very elegant and noble, Yingluo pulled her hair, embellished it with gold hairpins, and wore thin makeup on her face, which directly magnified all the advantages of her facial features.

Yingluo was stunned: "The girl is so good-looking." Usually I just don't like to dress up, otherwise I will have to crown the capital. ”

Come on, this kind of name should be given to Yao Nanjia, she doesn't want it.

The venue for the banquet was set in the Chang'an Palace, and this time Zhao Huiwei didn't have to sit at the back, she was arranged on Chi Wu's side.

She looked at the front position, Shen Mingnan hadn't come yet, she poured Chi Wu a glass of wine, poured herself another glass, and raised her eyes to see the gaze of Fu Junze sitting opposite them.

Zhao Huiwei glanced at Chi Wu and saw that she had no expression, and when she looked over again, Fu Junze also lowered her eyes and looked at the table in front of her.

His face was paler than a year ago, as if he were terminally ill, and she remembered that he seemed to have only two years to live.

Fu Junze could only live to be twenty-two years old.

Chi Wu's affairs, she couldn't take care of it, so she could only be in a hurry, she reminded: "Sister Wu, Master Fu seems to be looking at you." ”

Chi Wu was indifferent: "It has nothing to do with me." ”

Zhao Huiwei was helpless, she could clearly feel Chi Wu's unhappy mood, although she wanted to assist, but the contradiction between the two seemed to be no longer something that outsiders could interfere with.

——

Outside the palace, Shen Mingnan came late, followed by Xu Yunchen, and the two arrived at the palace gate at the same time.

A year ago, he accompanied Shen Mingnan to fight in the Northern Desert, and he was the military advisor behind him.

No one in Beijing knows the relationship between the two.

Shen Mingnan took the first step, Xu Yunchen got out of the other carriage, and Qin Zhou stood by the carriage with his sword.

Xu Yunchen smiled at him: "I'll go in first." ”

Qin Zhou nodded, his always cold eyes, only a little more gentle when he looked at him: "Well, pay attention to safety, I'll wait for you outside the palace." ”

Because guards were not allowed in the palace, Qin Zhou could only wait for him outside, Xu Yunchen was a little pity, he suddenly felt that being an official restrained him a lot.

He had seen the hottest script in Beijing at the moment, which was thrown to him by Qin Zhou, and the two of them were speechless at that time, and after giving it to him, Qin Zhou left.

He just read page by page.

It's beautiful, it's like them.

Be brave, be firm, break through the shackles of the world, and all the good things will come as promised.

His heart was hot, he looked at his white palm, he had never held a girl, he had never talked about love, but he also knew the warmth and coldness.

Perhaps, he can lead a knight.

He put his mind down, and just wanted to end this palace banquet quickly.

He walked to an arched bridge, and in front of him was a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress, and next to him was a palace maid with a palace lamp.

Suddenly, the woman twisted her foot and fell to the guardrail, and she was about to tumble over.

Xu Yunchen grabbed her wrist one step at a time to prevent her from falling, and the palace maids holding the palace lamp were frightened: "Princess, are you okay?" ”

Xu Yunchen noticed that this was the notorious and cowardly princess Cheng Panpan, he let go of his hand and gave it to him like a son: "I was in a hurry, I touched the princess's wrist, and I hope the princess will atone for her sins." ”

Cheng Panpan came back to her senses at this time, the masculinity in front of her looked very gentle, her face was handsome, and under his gentle gaze, her frightened heart slowly eased.

She took a step back with a red face and whispered, "Thank you, Lord Xu, for helping." ”

Xu Yunchen smiled warmly: "The eldest princess is polite. ”

Cheng Panpan noticed that she was blocking the entire road alone, so she hurriedly turned sideways: "Xu, Lord Xu, you go first." ”

Xu Yunchen glanced at her and said again: "Yunchen has overpassed." ”

With that, he left.

Cheng Panpan couldn't come back to her senses for a while when she looked at his back, she was very timid since she was a child, she was afraid of hearing the sound, and she was also afraid of seeing the living.

Just now she discovered that only Xu Yunchen's gentle temperament like water wrapped her, making her not afraid and very relieved.

Her heart beat slowly, strange emotions filled her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief, this time the palace maid gently supported her, and walked towards the Chang'an Palace.

Everyone almost came, Cheng Shengquan slowly came to the first, he sat with the queen, the queen mother sat on the other side, and everyone saluted.

Cheng Shengquan's eyes fell on Shen Mingnan's body, and seeing that he was not interested, he looked at Zhao Huiwei, who was sitting beside Chi Wu obediently.

Only then did he realize that her eyebrows and eyes really looked a little like the peerless Lin Yuanhui.

Empress Dowager Chu followed his gaze and looked over, the matter of retrieving the daughter of the Huainan Mansion was not a secret in the royal family, so she also knew.

A year ago, she didn't take a closer look at that little imperial merchant at all. This time, she looked much more carefully, and with just one glance, she was stunned for a moment, and then frowned lightly and thought.

The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, and Cheng Shengquan saw that it was almost over, so he said: "The Xuannan Xinjiang envoy group is here." ”

When the strange fragrance came, everyone was attracted, only to see a veil hanging in the air, and a woman in purple clothes fell to the ground on tiptoe like a fairy flying out of the sky, her face wearing a veil of the same color, and the purple skirt was as dazzling as a violet in full bloom.

She lifted her veil lightly, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, which was enough to charm her soul.

She walked to the middle of the hall: "Yan Xi, the holy woman of Southern Xinjiang, greets His Majesty Dayan." ”

Cheng Shengquan's eyes flashed with amazement, and he raised his hand and said, "Holy Maiden, please get up"

What is amazing is not only Cheng Shengquan, except for a few people, the men in the hall are all staring at it, and they are appreciative.

Zhao Huiwei looked at Shen Mingnan for the first time, seeing that he was bored drinking, and he didn't give anyone in the hall a light in his eyes, when she was about to take it back, Shen Mingnan raised his eyes and looked at her from afar, blinked lightly, and then withdrew and continued to look at the wine glass.

The third prince, Cheng Jiong, had long been intent, his eyes were full of covetousness, and he said loudly: "I have long heard that the saintess of southern Xinjiang are unparalleled, I don't know if the rumors are true or not, can the saint lift the veil and let me wait to see the beauty?" ”

Yan Xi didn't know him, but judging that his position and identity belonged to the royal family, he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Please forgive the prince, Yan Xi's veil can only be lifted by the newlywed." ”

Cheng Jiong wanted to say something, but Cheng Shengquan's voice came: "Jiong'er must not be rude, the saint's visit to make peace this time is a good relationship between the two countries." ”

He glanced at Shen Mingnan and said with a smile: "Waiting for the Duanyang Palace banquet, I will definitely find a wishful husband for you." ”

Yan Xi saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

This palace banquet was just a simple reception, and everyone was staggered, and the atmosphere ended the dinner with a warm atmosphere.

Empress Dowager Chu left the scene early, and next to her was her confidant, Aunt Meng.

After she left the Chang'an Palace, the noise gradually faded away, and several palace maids were lighting in front.

Empress Dowager Chu paused suddenly, and she hesitated to Aunt Meng: "The mourning family always feels that the newly found pearl of Huainan Wangfu is very similar to a person. ”
