Chapter 49: Out of Reach

Zi Luo winked at the female officer, then got up and walked in front of Chu Wanxiang, walked half a circle, and looked up and down for a while.

Shiro was right. The current Chu Wanxiang has a calm demeanor, elegant atmosphere, and impeccable conversation.

Compared with Gu Lingyi, who was timid and afraid of things when he saw him, he was indeed on the stage.

Although Gu Feibai is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, if Mo Ran marries her, he will indeed get the support of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but if he marries Emperor Ming, although the power of the Marquis of Zhenbei cannot all be tilted towards Mo Ran, there is Nana behind her, ordering 300,000 Tieyun Army.

What's more, if Mo Ran marries her, the emperor will naturally no longer be able to move her mind, and he will have one less rival in the palace, not to mention one more helper, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

As for Gu Lingyi, Mo Ran may accept her as a concubine by his side no matter what.

In this way, Mo Ran has a heavy army in his hands, so is he afraid that the road to seizing the heirloom will not be smooth?

"The king is in trouble, and the Ming Emperor is flattered." Chu Wanxiang bowed her head and saluted, she said that she was flattered, but her face was as calm as water.

"Emperor Ming, you have to accept the whole heart of the concubine, otherwise the concubine will be sad." Chu Yan also walked down with a smile.

As he passed the female officer, he paused slightly and continued walking.

When he came to Xiang Ao, he saw a hesitant look on his face, and sneered in his heart, Xiang Ao, since you can't subdue this woman, then I'll do it for you. Just stand by and watch how Chu Wanxiang became Princess Duan, right?

After a while, the female officer came over with a plate of things.

The plate was covered with a red cloth, and it was impossible to see what was on the plate.

Zi Luo didn't let Chu Wanxiang take a look, and directly ordered the female official to send her to Nanyuan.

Chu Wanxiang gestured to Tsing Yi without changing his face, and then said to Zi Luo: "Then thank you, Guifei Niangniang." ”

"It's okay, birthday present, it's supposed to be." Zi Luo smiled and took her hand, patted it gently, then turned around and said to Gu Lingyi: "By the way, I am also preparing for Lingyi's meeting ceremony, and we will hold it together when I leave." ”

"Let's go."

Then another chat, and after an hour of dating, Shiro asked the two of them to leave on the grounds that they were tired and wanted to rest.

"Wanxiang, I feel so uneasy." Out of Qiwu Palace, Gu Feibai pulled Chu Wanxiang and said.

She always felt that although this concubine was smiling and looked amiable, her smile never reached her eyes, and the strange change in her attitude towards Wanxiang just now really made her feel at ease.

"This concubine is really well-intentioned today."

Chu Wanxiang squinted at Mu Lin: "Is Yun Ruo back?" ”

She let Tsing Yi slip out just now, counting the time, she should be back now.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Tsing Yi returned to her side.

"The princess servant found this in the tray of belongings."

Holding an octopus-shaped dragon-shaped jade pendant in both hands, the jade pendant is crystal clear, looking like a precious ice jade pendant.

There is a lifelike eight-clawed golden dragon engraved on it, and two words are engraved in the lower right corner of the back, ink-dyed.

This is the jade pendant of Duanwang Xiaoqi.

Chu Wanxiang's face changed slightly, and she asked Tsing Yi to put it away immediately, so as not to be seen by others.

Recalling that Chu Yan paused for a moment beside the female officer just now, Chu Wanxiang immediately understood that he must have given the jade pendant to the female officer at that time and put it in the things that Zi Luo gave her.

No wonder Zi Luo didn't let her look at the contents of the tray in person, it turned out that there was this jade pendant inside.

"Princess Minghuang, what's wrong? Why stop here, it's still so pale, could it be that there is something wrong with the body? ”

Chu Yan and Ruyi walked over from behind, with smug smiles on their faces.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xichen."

Xiang Ao's brows were furrowed tightly, he didn't like Chu Wanxiang to call him so coldly now.

"Emperor Ming was too nervous just now, so his expression was different from usual."

Chu Wanxiang smiled faintly.

"The king was not surprised to see that the princess was indifferent to things, that she was not surprised by favors and humiliations, and I did not expect a time when she was nervous."

Chu Yan chuckled, raised his hand, and gently patted Chu Wanxiang's shoulder.

Because of the cover of Chu Yan's figure, this seemingly ordinary action, from the perspective of others, is extremely intimate.

Xiang Ao was a little displeased, and stepped forward to block Chu Yan's hand: "Your Royal Highness Duan, this is the Imperial Garden, where people come and go, and we don't want to make excuses for others." ”

This was the first time that Xiang Yan had embarrassed Chu Yan in public, which made Chu Yan both surprised and very angry.

Is he crazy, so bold.

Chu Yan's face immediately became very gloomy.

But in front of Chu Wanxiang, and considering that this was the Imperial Garden, he endured it and did not have a seizure.

"His Royal Highness King Duan has won the award, Emperor Ming is just an ordinary woman, seeing a person with such a high status as the concubine, I am in awe, I dare not make a mistake, now the time is not early, and it is almost time to release the palace key, Emperor Ming and Miss Gu will leave first, and the two ladies can also say goodbye at will."

After speaking, Chu Wanxiang pulled Gu Lingyi and turned away, leaving only Xiang Ao and Chu Yan to look at each other.

"You've come to the king."

Chu Yan let out a low roar, and without waiting for Xiang Yan, he threw off his sleeves and strode forward.

"Wan Xiang, is there anything wrong with this jade pendant? You've been watching it for half an hour. ”

After leaving the palace, Gu Feibai did not go back to Zhenbeihou Mansion directly, but followed Chu Wanxiang back to Nanyuan.

As soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I was stunned by this small courtyard.

This is where a princess lives, not to mention out of reach, but it's as simple as that. Even the mansions of ordinary officials, not as good.

She felt aggrieved for Chu Wanxiang in her heart, but she still turned to look at the person concerned, stared at the eight-clawed dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand for a long time, and didn't even raise her eyes.

He leaned over curiously, wondering what was there about this jade pendant that attracted Chu Wanxiang and made her so engrossed.

"The jade pendant is Xiao Yan's." Chu Wanxiang told her the origin of the jade pendant.

Gu Ling reacted quickly and immediately realized the intentions of Zi Luo and Chu Yan's mother and son.

Prince Bei'an has the right to choose a princess. Whoever he likes, he just needs to hand over the dragon-shaped jade pendant that suits him, and then report to the emperor.

As long as the background is clean and the door is right, the emperor can give marriage.

Chu Yan handed over his jade pendant to Ming Yi, which was a blatant confession that he wanted to marry her.

"Wan Xiang, that Chu Yan has bad conduct and ill intentions, you must not marry him."

Gu Feibai held Chu Wanxiang's hand tightly: "The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in a few days, we can take this opportunity to explain this matter to the Queen Mother and let her make decisions for you." ”
