Volume 1 Chapter 105 The Third Prince Chao Yu

When the convoy reached the city of Beimang, it stopped.

Armored formation.

Ye Tingmu looked out through the car window.

I saw it downstairs at the city gate.

The maids and attendants were arranged in four columns.

At least a hundred people.

The soldiers around were dressed in bright red uniforms, and each of them looked very domineering.

They were now lined up in front of the main gate.

In the past, people entering and leaving the Northern Mang had to go through the side door.

Beimang City has three gates, and the place where they stopped was right in front of the main gate.

He would occupy a door alone to welcome guests and not allow anyone to enter.

It is conceivable how high the status of the Dongfang family is in this northern country.

How could an ordinary person put on such a show?

In front of the maidservants, two men in gorgeous clothes were particularly eye-catching.

One of them is middle-aged and the other is young.

The middle-aged man had a friendly face, a mustache, and a large gold belt around his waist. Although he was old, his attire showed that he was still ambitious.

But the young man was handsome and elegant. When he stood there, many women passing by looked at him sideways.

But he looked a little weird.

Such a scene naturally attracted many people to stop and watch.

"Whose team is this? So domineering."

"You are a foreigner, right? With this kind of pomp and ceremony, who else could it be? The eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. Look at that man, he is the head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Yuan."

"Oh, what about that young man next to him? He looks very handsome, he must be extraordinary."

"This is the Third Prince of the current Jiuzhou Dynasty, the future Emperor. He has come to this Northern Rogue to get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family."

At this time, someone next to him said, "I've heard about this before. It's said that the Third Prince came to Beimang on purpose. However, Miss Dongfang went on a long journey some time ago. The Third Prince is really persistent. He waited for a month and now he actually came out to greet her in person. Sigh..."

"Hey, didn't I hear that the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family is a useless person who can't practice cultivation? The Third Prince is of divine blood after all, so why would he marry such a woman?"

"Superficial! Don't you see who's behind him? Dongfang Shuo, one of the Thirty-Six Saints of Jiuzhou, was a senior official for five dynasties. The father of the current emperor was taught by him. What do you think he's after?"

"That's true."

Amidst the crowd's discussions, Dongfang Qingzhu jumped off the carriage and ran towards Dongfang Yuan, skipping and jumping.

Dongfang Yuan was naturally overjoyed. Ever since the news came from Yecheng that his ninth brother Dongfang Xiu was murdered and Dongfang Qingzhu was missing, he had been worried every day and was already in a state of confusion.

Now seeing his beloved daughter running towards him so lively and energetic, it felt like a dream, and there was even a slight blush at the corner of his eyes.

However, seeing Dongfang Qingzhu's indecent posture and the Third Prince beside her, his expression changed and his face became stern in an instant.

"Zhu'er, it's so embarrassing to be like this."

Dongfang Qingzhu's expression changed in a second.

It seems to be true. I have been following Ye Tingmu and his siblings recently and have become accustomed to going wild.

I have long forgotten what poetry, books, etiquette, and gait and grace are.

There are so many people around here now, so I naturally can't lose my composure.

She quickly straightened up, placed her hands on her chest, and walked over slowly.

Then he did a half-kneeling gesture towards the east.

"Zhu'er meets father. I'm sorry to have kept him waiting for so long."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to stick out her tongue, which looked very playful.

Chao Yu, who was standing by, was moved by what he saw.

Dongfang Yuan coughed lightly.

"You little rascal, you've caused your father a lot of worry."

Dongfang Qingzhu took a step forward, lifted Dongfang Yuan's arm with her jade hand, and shook it up and down.

"Father, Zhu'er knows he was wrong and won't do it again next time."

Dongfang Yuan blew his beard and glared, cursing, "There will be a next time." However, there was still an unconcealable smile on his face.

At this time, Chao Yu waved his sleeves and came to Dongfang Qingzhu's side in a dignified and polite manner.

"Chao Yu, nice to meet Miss Qing Zhu."

Dongfang Qingzhu heard this and glanced sideways, scanning up and down with her big, watery eyes.

She frowned and looked towards Dongfangyuan.

"Father, this is............."

She knew that the surname Chao was the royal surname, so she naturally recalled the scene when Zhou Heisan dressed up as the prince.

At that time, Zhou Heisan said that the third prince came to propose marriage, and he originally thought it was that little Heizi who was talking nonsense.

Now it seems that this is not just a rumor.

Although I had heard the ancestor mention the royal marriage before, I had never seen the person.

However, I have heard others mention the third prince, saying that he is knowledgeable, talented, and very handsome.

I have always been fond of poetry and literature, so when the ancestor said this that day, I didn't reject it. Instead, I was a little bit looking forward to it, wanting to see what kind of person this third prince was.

When I saw him today, he was indeed as the rumors said, very handsome, graceful, with a righteous look in his eyes, and a subtle smile on his face.

But when it caught her eye, she felt disgusted for some reason.

Dongfang Yuan saw this and hurried to introduce it.

"Come on, Zhu'er, let me introduce you. This is the Third Prince of Jiuzhou, Chao Yu. The Third Prince has been waiting for you at the Meridian Gate all morning."

Dongfang Qingzhu still frowned and said nothing.

Chao Yu chuckled, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said: "Oh, it's okay, I have heard that Miss Qingzhu is graceful and elegant. I met her today and she is indeed stunningly beautiful. Although I have waited for a whole morning, it is worth it to be able to see the beautiful Fang Ze."

If these words fell into the ears of other girls, they would definitely be overjoyed. After all, in such a hot day, such a handsome boy, and the third prince, could wait for them here for so long. Who wouldn't be happy?

But Dongfang Qingzhu was different. She only felt that at this moment, her disgust towards the Third Prince in front of her increased a little bit.

I always feel that his remarks are so hypocritical and contrived.

However, he still politely replied, "Third Prince, you are joking. Qingzhu thanks you for your kindness."

Chao Yu waved his folding fan and put on a pose that he thought was very handsome.

"Miss Qingzhu, please allow me to accompany you into the city. I have prepared a banquet at Tianyaju to welcome you. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor?"

Still want to treat me to a meal?

I don't want to.

Dongfang Qingzhu thought to himself, then rolled his eyes and changed the subject.

He took Dongfang Yuan's hand and said, "Father, come with me. I will introduce you to some of my friends."

As he said that, he pulled Dongfang Yuan towards the direction of the convoy.

"Slow down..."

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Chao Yu looked a little embarrassed, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.

"This girl is quite interesting."

However, the old slave beside him had a somewhat sinister look on his face.

"Your Highness, this is too rude of her."

"It's okay." He adjusted his hair and said, "It's a great achievement to conquer a girl like this. Let's go meet Miss Dongfang's friend."

He was very curious about what kind of friend could make Dongfang Qingzhu be so rude to him, a prince.

Whether this person is a man or a woman, I must meet him or her.
