The brother and sister sat down, and other guests gradually arrived. Emperor Nanyuan came with the Queen, and with a voice announcing that tonight's protagonist had arrived:
"King Chen of Dongling has arrived—"
Everyone took a deep breath and turned their heads to look at the same time.
In the main hall, the red carpet extended all the way to the distant entrance. Amid the support of the palace servants, a dark figure appeared in everyone's sight.
From far to near.
Come with hands behind your back.
The black robe reached the ground, and the extremely dark color enveloped the man's arrogance. His stunningly handsome face, with a murderous ruthlessness hidden between his brows, and his slightly restrained eyes were dim, like a wolf lurking in the darkness, exuding an unapproachable sharpness.
Many rich ladies' heartbeats quickened and they looked at him with admiration.
This is the legendary King Chen of Dongling!
It really lives up to its reputation.
Even more solemn and stern than the three princes of the royal family.
Zong Zhengchen is here.
Walking into the hall, his eyes swept straight towards Qin Ye.
Qin Ye's heart beat slightly, and he looked left and right, making sure that the first thing he would do when he came here was to see her.
She moved her butt slightly closer to Ling Yixing and whispered, "Brother, has he seen me before? Why did he look at me as soon as he came? Did he know that I was going to marry?"
Ling Yixing just smiled and said nothing, "You are almost hanging on me. There are so many people here, so sit down."
"oh……"
Qin Ye touched the tip of his nose and sat up straight obediently.
Sitting opposite each other, Jun Luoyuan's eyes turned red with jealousy and resentment, and his fingernails dug deeply into his palms.
The position of Princess Chen was originally hers!
This man is hers too!
But, fate plays tricks on us...
Looking at the King Chen who was as dazzling as the sun, and then looking at Shen Shichen who was hanging his head beside him, as cowardly as a stray dog, he was so angry that he kicked him:
"Look at what you look like! You're not even worthy of licking the toes of the King Chen!"
Shen Shichen was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
He clenched his teeth so hard that his back teeth were almost broken. He took a deep breath, endured it with all his strength, climbed up silently, and sat back in his seat.
On the high seat.
Emperor Nanyuan, who was wearing a dragon robe, laughed heartily and said, "Prince Donglingchen, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so young. Hahaha, sit down!"
Zong Zhengchen nodded, understood, and walked to his seat.
"Tonight, Nanyuan and Jiangnan are entering into a marriage alliance. We are willing to use the goodwill between the two families to conclude peace between the two countries, seek common development, and resolve past grievances..." Emperor Nanyuan spoke in a formulaic manner, which was nothing more than about peace and marriage.
The speech was passionate, and many officials added enthusiastic comments.
After a quarter of an hour of opening remarks, I got to the point:
"From today on, I will hand Ling Ye over to you, Prince Chen. Ling Ye is the only sister of the Imperial Master and my most beloved princess. From now on, you must treat her well and not let her suffer any grievances."
Zong Zhengchen stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is inevitable."
He walked towards Qin Ye.
The closer you are, the deeper your gaze becomes, the more urgent and eager you become.
Finally, we met.
Finally, we meet again.
Finally, I can welcome her into my family in this way.
"Ye'er." The deep call, full of tenderness and longing, and the deep affection contained in it made Qin Ye dazed for a moment.
It feels like...
Seemingly familiar.
It seemed as if she had heard it somewhere before, as if some image came flooding out from the depths of her soul, accumulated dusty memories, forgotten memories, fleeting, so fast that she could not catch them.
She murmured in a daze: "Have we met before?"
