As everyone knows, the Regent is usually frivolous and mischievous, and rarely has a serious face. Often when he has such an expression, it means that he cares very much and is very angry.
Although there was no accusation in these words, everyone present was sweating. Their fear and awe of the Regent was definitely no less than that of Situ Xunxiao. You know, if the Regent only relied on the Emperor, he would never be on par with the God of War.
Since coming to Tianxi Kingdom, Zong Zheng Yunchun has never experienced such a loss of face. People have already thought that he has lost his status. These people, at least for the sake of the prince's face, can only think about it in their hearts. If it is not exposed on the table, it is not a big deal. But the regent prince just brought it up and said that as a result, the ministers who have been getting close to the prince because of their efforts in recent days will have to retreat again. Damn Zong Zheng Xiaoting, it's all her fault!
The hand clenched tightly into a fist could only pinch the flesh of the palm of his hand with all his strength. Zong Zheng Yunchun kept reminding himself that a little impatience would lead to a big plan. Now that it has happened, he must deal with it calmly. Moreover, the War King did not like Zong Zheng Xiaoting kneeling down, and had repeatedly embarrassed him. Now the Regent King was also unhappy. If he was impulsive, he would be defeated.
Zong Zheng Yunchun lowered his eyes, bowed his head and retreated to the side of the prince without saying a word. Instead, Zhuge Feiyang pretended to be stupid and changed the subject.
"Look how confused I am. Prince of War and Prince of Regent are still standing. My father has instructed that Prince of War and Prince of Regent must enjoy tonight's banquet. It's been a long time since Prince of Regent has attended a palace banquet." Zhuge Feiyang stretched out a hand to the two of them, gestured to guide them, and took Zong Zheng Yunchun to step in front.
It must be said that Zhuge Feiyang's turn really did ease the Crown Princess' crisis, but...
Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes slightly. It was impossible that Zhuge Feiyang's adaptability came from Zong Zheng Yunchun's instructions. Even if he liked Zong Zheng Yunchun, he was afraid that his flexibility could not be predicted in advance. In his memory, when he first met him in the Jade Mountain of Luozha Country, he was not like this.
Following Situ Xunxiao, Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "You did it?"
"She is unlucky." Situ Xunxiao uttered a few words from his thin lips without commenting.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting chuckled softly and muttered, "King Zhan's mind is too narrow."
"My princess is narrow-minded, so I will just follow her lead." With a cold expression, he said these joking words, which made Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who turned his head to look at him, smile.
During the conversation, they all sat down. Zongzheng Xiaoting and Situ Xunxiao talked very close to each other, and it seemed that the cold Situ Xunxiao seemed to have a little warmth around the princess, which made people feel less afraid. Even at this moment, he still had that cold and unkind face.
After chatting for a while, Zhuge Qing also brought the empress to the banquet hall. The eunuch's shrill voice rang out from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived, and the empress has arrived."
Everyone stood up and knelt down to pay respect, but Zhuge Qing waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please stop being so formal. I am hosting a banquet for the Prince Regent and Prince Zhan today. If you are too formal, you won't be able to enjoy yourself."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked up and saw that under the bright yellow dragon robe, the traces of time on his face had not diminished his domineering aura. At fifty years old, he did not look old. The domineering aura that came from his bones added to his arrogance as a king. Between his eyebrows, there was a hint of Nangong Muxi's evilness.
What a contradictory person! Zong Zheng Xiaoting thought to himself.
After sitting down with the Queen, Zhuge Qing first looked at Situ Xunxiao, "Zhan Wang has come a long way, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty is considerate." Situ Xunxiao picked up the wine glass and nodded to Zhuge Qing. "When I came here, the emperor specifically told me to discuss the horse training method with the Regent King. The horse training skills of Tianxi Kingdom are well-known in the four countries. Tianxi Kingdom has many talented people. I respect your majesty."
"Haha, Prince Zhan, you are commended." Zhuge Qing laughed heartily, picked up the wine glass and drank it happily, and then slowly spoke, "In terms of horse training, I have been surpassed by the Regent Prince. But when it comes to Yunguang Kingdom's business, I can't even catch up."
As they complimented each other, sang and danced, the Crown Prince remained silent. After the unpleasant incident, Zong Zheng Yunchun remained silent until the banquet was over, then he slowly approached, "Royal sister, since you have been in Tianxi Country for a few days, why don't you and I have some free time to have a good reunion?"
"Of course. This princess also wants to care about how the Crown Princess is doing. Look, the prince has agreed to take this princess to Luozha Kingdom, and then I can report to the Crown Princess's mother that she is safe." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled gently, with the warmth and tenderness of an older sister taking care of her younger sister.
"Thank you, my dear sister." Zong Zheng Yunchun smiled. "I'm sure you're tired tonight. I won't disturb you and will visit you tomorrow."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded slightly, Zong Zheng Yunchun smiled stiffly and moved slowly. Looking at the limping figure, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mouth curled up into a smile.
"I really don't have the blessing to bear it." Zongzheng Xiaoting nudged Situ Xunxiao with his elbow. "Tell me, from now on, will my legs become weak as a conditioned reflex whenever I make a gesture of greeting?"
"It's hard to say." Situ Xunxiao frowned, "But what you should worry about is whether the Crown Princess can come and talk to you about sisterhood tomorrow."
Situ Xunxiao stretched out his palms towards Zongzheng Xiaoting with a serious look.
"What on earth did you do?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at his hand in front of him, handed it to Situ Xunxiao, and slowly walked towards the car.
"There are some veins in the human body that cannot be controlled by one's own will." Situ Xunxiao and Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked slowly, and explained to Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "But people who practice martial arts know that this king was just a little anxious. When the princess wanted to kneel, I lost control of my strength and the stone bounced out and hit the veins. Naturally, some people who didn't want to kneel had to kneel."
Stone? Anxiety?
Zongzheng Xiaoting blinked, looked at Situ Xunxiao's indifferent face and lied, and laughed softly, "Situ Xunxiao."
"Um?"
"Has anyone ever told you that you are evil?"
"No." Situ Xunxiao stopped and thought seriously, "The only one who dared to say such a thing was Nangong Muxi. At that time, I beat him so badly that his face was swollen for several days."
