"So many people have met the Poet Immortal, how come it is only the Second Prince who has a deep connection with him?" The First Prince of Xiqiu came over, ignoring the Southern Chancellor and approaching Nan Qianyue.
"Poet Immortal, it's been so long, you've become even more beautiful." The First Prince of Xiqiu smiled what he thought was a very charming smile.
Nanqianyue: "..." Is this how the ancients praised people?
The Southern Prime Minister's expression was one of mild anger. "Prince Han, be careful with your words."
Only then did the eldest prince of Xiqiu notice the Southern Chancellor.
He immediately laughed and said, "I have long heard that the Prime Minister of Dongling is virtuous and talented, assisting the country in governing the country, shining like a star in the court, and benefiting all directions. Today, after taking a closer look, it is indeed as the rumors say."
The Southern Prime Minister gave a forced smile, "Your Highness Han is too kind."
The Second Prince was well aware of the First Prince Xiqiu's thoughts. It's a pity that the Poet Immortal was destined to marry him.
"Nan Nan".
A clear, magnetic voice, like spring water, rang out, and a tall, smoky figure walked over the crowd.
The second prince immediately frowned, how dare they address his future imperial consort in such a way.
"Is it inappropriate for Prince Xiao to address the Poet Immortal in this way?"
The Second Prince loathed Xiao Chen. Last time, he pulled Shi Xian away in front of him, and today he dared to call him his future imperial concubine so intimately in front of so many people. How despicable!
Holding a peach blossom in his hand, Xiao Chen walked straight past the unfriendly-looking Second Prince with a gentle smile and came to Nan Qianyue.
He handed the peach blossom to Nanqianyue, saying, "Nannan, here you go."
Nan Qianyue, who was hiding her hand under the table, suddenly pinched Nan Yichu hard.
Nan Yichu winced in pain, but at the same time, she readily accepted the peach blossoms and chuckled twice, "Thank you, Prince Xiao, I'll accept them on behalf of my elder sister."
Xiao Chen naturally noticed her subtle movements, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he bowed to the Prime Minister and his wife, saying, "Prime Minister, Madam."
The Prime Minister and his wife nodded, neither of them showing any extra smiles.
If they had known so many people would come, they wouldn't have come.
"Second Brother, let's take the envoys for a stroll around first," the Fourth Prince suggested as he approached.
His second brother couldn't resist the sight of the poet, so he couldn't just leave the messengers hanging.
The second prince understood his meaning, but he wouldn't leave. He had a premonition that since no one was at the Prime Minister's residence, Eunuch Hou might come here instead.
"The peach blossoms here are in full bloom. Why don't we hold a banquet here so that the envoys can rest while enjoying the flowers and wine?"
As soon as the Second Prince finished speaking, the servants who had been waiting quickly brought tables and stools from the ship and arranged the seating in a short time.
Except for the Nan family, whose positions remained unchanged, the positions of the talented scholars naturally shifted to the back.
Just as the Second Prince was about to head towards the location closest to the Southern Moon, Xiao Chen sat down first.
His face darkened, and he silently turned to the other side.
It's just a seat. So what if she sits next to the poet? Once the imperial decree of marriage is issued, let's see who dares to approach his imperial concubine.
"Nan Nan, what made you think of coming here?" It seems the whole family came.
In fact, Xiao Chen had a general idea, because apart from the Nan family, everyone here was a talented young man.
Nan Yichu stood between Nan Qianyue and Xiao Chen. She turned her head and smiled, "You're so smart, how could you not guess?"
Xiao Chen choked for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "Whoever he takes a fancy to, I'll definitely spare his life."
Nan Yichu, stuck between the two, swallowed hard in horror. How cruel Prince Xiao was.
"All of them are good," said Yue Yang, raising her eyebrows as she moved south.
Xiao Chen: "..." That means he didn't like any of them.
The Second Prince, standing not far away, looked grim.
The fourth prince, who was alone entertaining the envoy, secretly nudged him, "Second brother, say something, don't leave me to entertain them all by myself."
The fourth prince felt he had used up all the polite words he could in a lifetime.
The second prince cast a slightly annoyed glance at him, "Don't you even know how to entertain guests?"
Fourth Prince: "..." Next time there's any work to do, I definitely won't go with my second brother.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." The Fourth Prince had no choice but to seek help from the Southern Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister glanced at the Fourth Prince and immediately understood his meaning. He then raised his wine cup and began to utter a string of polite words.
Just as the commotion was starting, the sound of horses' hooves echoed by the lake.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xie Yanzhou leading several soldiers on what appeared to be a patrol.
When he saw the magnificent peach orchard, he was slightly taken aback. He was about to ignore it, but then his gaze turned and he saw Nan Qianyue. Looking around her, he saw her whole family.
And the Crown Prince of Nanjing!
While Xie Yanzhou was still in a daze, the Fourth Prince beckoned to him, "Grandson Xie! Come and have a drink!"
The fourth prince summoned him, so he had no choice but to go.
Nan Qianyue looked at Xie Yanzhou as he approached and felt even more puzzled.
Why are you all here?
coincide?
"Fourth Prince, Second Prince, Prime Minister, Prime Minister's Wife," Xie Yanzhou greeted them one by one.
The fourth prince asked, "Why has Xie Shisun suddenly come here?"
Xie Yanzhou glanced at Nan Qianyue without showing any emotion and said, "The Imperial Guard has sent someone over to conduct an inspection."
He was indeed wearing official robes, so what he said must be true.
"Quickly, set up a seat for Xie Shisun," the Fourth Prince gestured to his servants.
"No need, Your Highness. I still need to continue my inspection. Thank you for your kindness." Xie Yanzhou clasped his hands and glanced at Nan Qianyue as he turned around.
He certainly wanted to stay, but if he neglected his official duties, he wouldn't be in trouble, but the soldiers who followed him would certainly be punished by their superiors.
The moment Xie Yanzhou mounted his horse, another sound of hooves approached, growing ever closer.
Xie Yanzhou looked into the distance... Eunuch Hou?
Why is he here?
Xie Yanzhou felt a pang of anxiety in his chest, so he sat quietly on his horse and waited to see what Eunuch Hou was up to.
