Although Nanxun is small in area, the scale of the palace is comparable to that of Xichu!

The carriage slowly passed through the outer wall and drove towards the inner palace. The fragrance of flowers continued along the way. Even if you didn't get off the carriage, you would still feel like you were in a fairyland!

"Please invite the King of Chu, the Queen of Chu, and General Hu Wei into the inner palace!" A loud shout was heard after the carriage slowly stabilized. Chu Feiyang smiled faintly and took Yun Qianmeng's hand as he got off the carriage. He saw that the front of the carriage was already full of palace maids and eunuchs, all waiting for their arrival!

Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng looked at each other and walked into the palace first, but General Hu Wei was stopped by the guards outside the door!

"What!" Seeing Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng walking further and further away, Lu Xin felt unhappy and immediately frowned coldly at the guard who stopped him!

"General, please take off your sword!" The guard reminded Lu Xin calmly!

This is the etiquette of the royal family. Even in the Western Chu Palace, military generals are not allowed to carry long swords when they go to court. They must take off their armor and put on court robes before they are allowed to enter the hall!

But today, Lu Xin relied on the fact that he was a general of Western Chu and deliberately came with a long sword. Little did he know that although Nan Xun was young, he also had his own dignity and persistence. He stopped Lu Xin before he entered the palace!

"I am not an official of Nanxun. Why do you ask me to take off my sword?" Lu Xin has always been arrogant and has never taken the little Nanxun seriously. How could he listen to the request of a small guard?

"General, Prince Chu did not bring any weapons into the palace!" Since Lu Xin is not Nanxun's general, the guards naturally will not be afraid of him!

Facing such an arrogant and domineering guest, there is naturally no need to be too polite!

Seeing that little guard mentioned Chu Feiyang, Lu Xin had to take off the sword at his waist. Although he and Chu Feiyang were not on good terms, Chu Feiyang was in control of his own destiny at this time. It would be a waste of time to anger him because of such a small matter!

Lu Xin glared angrily and threw the sword in his hand into the guard's arms, then strode into the inner palace!

"Emperor Feng Jing really knows how to enjoy himself. The garden is full of flowers all year round. It is truly a beautiful sight!" Walking along the path filled with fragrance, Yun Qianmeng glanced at a field of flowers shrouded in lights and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration!

Chu Feiyang curled his lips into a smile, holding her hand even tighter, as if he was being cautious and wanted to keep Yun Qianmeng close to him, not letting her have a chance to get away from him!

"The prince and princess are truly in love!" Just as Yun Qianmeng finished speaking, she heard a mellow male voice coming from the corridor not far away!

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in dark yellow court robes standing in the dim light. The man looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a tough face and an awe-inspiring authority. His eyes, which seemed to be smiling, actually shone with a malicious and dangerous look. His aloof look, like that of an emperor, made people tremble in their hearts!

"The Regent is so elegant that he actually welcomes the king and the princess here!" Chu Feiyang responded with a smile without changing his expression. He carefully took Yun Qianmeng's hand and walked towards Nan Yijun step by step. His natural nobility was no less than Nan Yijun's, and his calm expression was even more friendly than Nan Yijun's. In particular, the way he carefully protected Yun Qianmeng while walking made the passing palace people pause and look sideways!

Noticing Chu Feiyang's actions, Nan Yijun's cold gaze immediately turned to Yun Qianmeng. He saw that the Princess of Western Chu was elegant and refined. She walked hand in hand with Chu Feiyang with a faint smile on her face. She looked calm and composed, not like a woman who had been raised in seclusion and was ignorant. In particular, her calm and beautiful eyes contained an unnoticed wisdom, which made Nan Yijun's eyes flicker slightly. Then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite! Your Highness and Princess are both distinguished guests of Nanxun. Naturally, I am here to greet them on behalf of the Emperor! Your Highness, Princess, please come this way!"

It seems to be a polite remark, but it reveals a hint of dominance and unspeakable arrogance!

This time, it was the Minister of Rites who led Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang into the palace. This meant that Emperor Feng Jing had handed this matter over to the Minister of Rites, but Nan Yijun had intervened! Not only did this make Chu Feiyang and the others understand who was in charge of Nanxun, but it also made the people of Nanxun clearly see the power he held!

“I just heard the princess praising the scenery in the garden. If Your Majesty and Your Majesty are not used to living in the inn, you can move to my Regent’s Palace. Although the palace may not have anything else, the exotic flowers and plants will satisfy Your Majesty!” However, Nan Yijun could see Chu Feiyang’s love for Yun Qianmeng from the tiny gesture just now, so he took advantage of her interest, looked at Yun Qianmeng with a gentle expression, and spoke slowly!

The Minister of Rites followed the three of them closely, with a cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't understand why the Regent suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Thinking of what happened before, the Minister of Rites felt a headache. He just hoped that the Regent would not do anything out of line before the King of Chu met the Emperor!

Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly in response, glanced at Nan Yijun with her beautiful eyes, and spoke in a dignified and polite manner, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness! However, I have come to Nanxun with my prince this time for the purpose of discussing matters between Nanxun and Xichu, not for any personal reasons. Therefore, it is naturally more appropriate for me to stay at the inn temporarily!"

"Hahaha! Princess, you are absolutely right! It was my negligence! But, state affairs are state affairs. I admire the King of Chu very much and have always wanted to find a chance to discuss things with him. Now that I finally have the chance this time, I naturally don't want to let it go! And after the political affairs are discussed, Your Highness and Princess don't have to rush to meet Xi Chu. Staying in my palace for a few more days will allow me to show my hospitality!" Nan Yijun has been in control of Nanxun's government for many years. He is not only a civil servant, but also a military general. He was the biggest contributor when resisting Lu Xin's attack on Nanxun. It would be extremely difficult to repel him with just a few words!

Yun Qianmeng, however, was someone who had survived through hail of gunfire. With Chu Feiyang by her side, she naturally had nothing to fear. She turned her gaze towards the long corridor leading to the main hall. A cold look flashed through her smiling eyes. The smile on her lips remained, but her tone was filled with a hint of insistence. "Your Highness's kindness shouldn't be declined! However, I, the concubine, have the royal order from Your Highness. How can I indulge in pleasure outside? Please understand, Your Highness!"

The last sigh was filled with the helplessness of a subject. Even if Nan Yijun wanted to forcibly detain the two of them, he would probably not be able to find a better excuse!

"If Your Highness has nothing to do, why not come with me and the princess back to Western Chu for a trip! After I report the affairs of the two countries to our emperor, I will definitely accompany Your Highness to travel around Western Chu and make sure Your Highness has a great time!" Chu Feiyang spoke calmly while looking straight ahead. He not only agreed with Yun Qianmeng's words, but also tried to invite Nan Yijun to visit Western Chu!

However, with the relationship between the two countries now tense, it is unknown whether Nan Yijun has the courage to go to Western Chu!

Seeing the couple beside him working in perfect harmony, even though they rejected his proposal, there was no anger on Nan Yijun's face. His slightly pursed lips did not show any emotional fluctuations, and even the breath he released was peaceful and calm!

After Chu Feiyang finished replying to Nan Yijun, his attention was focused on Yun Qianmeng again. Although he followed closely behind Nan Yijun, he was also concerned about Yun Qianmeng beside him, so that she would not step on her long skirt because of her fast walking!

However, Yun Qianmeng was strolling around Nanxun's imperial garden with an expression of enjoyment, not feeling timid at all because of the powerful Nan Yijun standing next to her!

"Imperial sister, I can't believe that the King of Chu is colluding with the Imperial Uncle!" At this time, at a corner of the corridor, Nan Hongye, the Crown Prince of Nanxun Kingdom, was staring at several figures in the distance with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to poke through those people's bodies with his eyes!

"The emperor's uncle is just walking with the King of Chu and others!" Nan Lan calmly withdrew his gaze. Although it was dim and difficult to see clearly, the King of Chu's mind was obviously on the Princess of Chu. Although Nan Yijun was walking with the two of them, he was obviously alone, and the other party did not take him seriously!

"Are we just going to watch helplessly as the emperor's uncle seizes the initiative?" Nan Hongye was only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy after all. Seeing such a situation, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He was about to rush out, but was stopped by Nan Lan!

Nan Lan pulled him down the path toward today's banquet. Looking at her anxious brother, she gave him a doting smile and said, "Why are you so anxious? Don't forget, you're the Crown Prince and I'm the Princess. How could we go to see the King of Western Chu on our own? What if Nan Yijun uses this as an excuse to smear us, accusing us of coveting our father's throne and approaching the King of Chu solely to usurp power? Provoking our father to punish us would be one thing, but if it worsens our father's condition, wouldn't that mean we've fallen into Nan Yijun's trap?"

After being awakened by Nan Lan, Nan Hongye's face turned pale. After a while, he bowed to Nan Lan and said, "Thank you for the reminder, my sister!"

Seeing that Nan Hongye was a teachable child, Nan Lan hid her worries, smiled, helped him up and continued, "With our identities, we can make our appearances when it's time! Let's go see if the emperor is ready! Ye'er, don't forget that although external aid is important, it is the emperor who we rely on! Chu Feiyang made a smart decision. It's a good thing that we find him, but we must not forget his identity! Let's see how the emperor's uncle gets along with him. If the emperor's uncle fails, won't we be able to figure out Chu Feiyang's intentions without any effort?"

"But sister, I heard that you sent someone to the King of Chu today, but he refused! Do you know that the King of Chu has already made his intentions known to the world? Aren't you afraid of angering him by doing this?" Nan Hongye is indeed smart and can understand many things at a glance and can integrate them into his own thinking. But at this time, he is reminding his sister instead!

Nan Lan's beautiful face was filled with a confident smile. Looking at her brother who was always being suppressed by Nan Yijun, Nan Lan reached out and touched his childish face with a distressed look, whispering, "Silly brother, you are everything to me. For you, I am willing to try all the impossible things!"
