Zong Zheng Xiaoting whispered softly, "Although I don't know much about Tianxi Kingdom and Yunguang Kingdom, from my perspective, although the crown prince of Tianxi Kingdom is not a promising talent, he was able to get the Regent King to come with him. It is clear that the one who is controlling everything behind the scenes is the Regent King, not the crown prince. A crown prince who is controlled by others, regardless of whether my son's marriage will cause him to disappear unexpectedly, if he really goes to Tianxi Kingdom, he will definitely live under someone else's roof and live in fear. On the contrary, although the God of War King Situ Xunxiao of Yunguang Kingdom is well-known, in my opinion, it is the best."
most?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made the Empress and Concubine Rou frown even more tightly.
The Queen asked first, "The War God Prince Situ Xunxiao is notorious. Although he has made great military achievements, he is an unknown person."
"Mother, if Xiaoting comes back to life, and keeps telling lies about mother, would he also be regarded as a monster?" Zongzheng Xiaoting did not directly point out Situ Xunxiao's situation, but used himself to alert the empress to her concerns.
"Mother, you should also know that in the royal family, there have always been endless tricks of intrigue and deception. Now, this person who has surpassed the master in merit has violated the royal taboo. You, mother, should know better than me whether he has violated the royal taboo." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made the empress and Concubine Rou Gui's eyes flash with sympathy. No matter whether he is loyal or not, once he has surpassed the master in merit, he is bound to be in great trouble. Thinking about Situ Xunxiao, I am afraid that these concubines who died suddenly may not be as the outside world says.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the faces of the two queens and realized that there was no need to say anything more. She said briefly, "I have met this Situ Xunxiao once before. I don't think he is that scary, but when I first met him, I concealed my identity. Although I chose to marry Yunguang, I am also worried that this concealment will become a premeditated approach. Therefore, I need to ask the Queen Mother and the Concubine to help me complete this marriage banquet."
"But Ting'er, even though your mother doesn't know what your plan is, what if you are really destined to enter Prince Zhan's mansion? What should we do then?" Concubine Rougui's tone was already somewhat conciliatory, but she was still worried when she thought about what might happen.
"Mother, let's leave the matter of fate to God. It's only three years at most. I am confident that I can survive for three years. Why should you worry about it? What's more, I am the most honorable princess of Luozha Kingdom. If something unexpected happens, as long as father always cares about me, the Yunguang Kingdom will definitely tolerate me for a few short years, right?" The corners of Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes curled up with her sly smile, and she looked charming.
"This..." Concubine Rou Gui looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
"Sister, now that things have come to this, just follow Ting'er's wishes. The two of us are destined to be bound by this lonely palace for the rest of our lives. Sister has escaped, although there are hardships, but at least she is the only lucky one among us who does not need to be bound by the family and buried by family rules. What we can do is to fulfill Ting'er's filial piety and create opportunities for sister, right?" The queen looked at Concubine Rou Gui with a meaningful look.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Rougui's body stiffened, a complex and sad look flashed across her eyes, and she nodded heavily.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting watched the two people's glances going back and forth, and always felt that there seemed to be hints in their words, but after repeatedly chewing on them, he gained nothing.
Confusion made Zong Zheng Xiaoting's brows wrinkle unconsciously.
"That's fine! Ting'er, you want your mother, how can I cooperate with you?" Concubine Rougui took a long breath and held Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand tightly.
Inside Cuiyun Palace, Zong Zheng Xiaoting put on a calculating smile and whispered repeatedly to the Empress and Concubine Rougui.
Night is gradually falling.
Bright lanterns lit up one after another, and Zong Zheng Wei Mo held the palace banquet in Zhaoshu Palace.
Unlike the darkness in other places, the night in Zhaoshu Palace sparkles with the dazzling brilliance of the night pearls. The glazed table looks even more dazzling because of the luster of the night pearls. This palace banquet seems grand because of the luxury of Zhaoshu Palace.
However, beneath the seats of the Emperor and Empress, there were layers of temporarily erected colorful gauze, each layer of which fell alternately and staggered. The wind blew the gauze, making it difficult to see the scenery inside.
The ladies from the royal families and noble families also took their seats one after another, and the sound of the entrance tickets could be heard continuously.
"You say, the Second Princess is really arrogant. No matter who she is, she is not so special. Why do we have to face the envoys directly, but the Second Princess can avoid them?" A certain rich girl was looking at the gauze curtains decorated with colorful yarns and gems, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"I guess the second princess is too embarrassed to face people." A mocking voice continued.
"Perhaps the Emperor feels that he should highlight the princess' noble status."
"What do you know? Isn't the Third Princess going to show up as well? I'm afraid the Second Princess doesn't want to marry. I heard that the Second Princess's appearance is even better than that of Concubine Rougui. She must not want to be favored by the envoys, so she's trying to cover it up."
The noisy discussions made Zong Zheng Xiaoting laugh secretly in the colorful gauze.
It was indeed a drama of three women. These gossiping women had existed for thousands of years, no matter in ancient times or today. Even if she was a princess who was high above everyone else, she still couldn't resist the gossips of these gossiping women.
Thinking of this, the face of the chattering old procuress automatically appeared in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mind. She looked at the people talking about her through the colorful veil, and the imagined scene made her laugh out loud.
"Princess!" Qingqing couldn't help laughing at her master, muttering unhappily, "People say bad things about you, and you can still laugh?"
"When you think about their sharp-nosed and monkey-faced faces, you will smile happily." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said with a smile, "How much of a loss will it be for you to get angry with them?"
Sharp-nosed and monkey-faced?
Qingqing rolled her eyes, glanced at the ladies outside the colorful veil, and could not help but chuckle. The master and servant tried their best to suppress their laughter and just enjoyed themselves.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tianxi Kingdom has arrived! The Regent has arrived!" The eunuch's voice rang out. Upon hearing that the envoy of Tianxi Kingdom had arrived, the rustling sounds suddenly quieted down.
Two figures were seen walking into the banquet hall one after the other. The man in the front, who was holding his head high and looking complacent, was Zhuge Feiyang, who was cheated of five hundred taels by Zong Zheng Xiaoting today. He originally had a handsome face, but his brilliance was robbed by the arrogance of the person behind him.
All eyes were attracted to the man in dark blue clothes behind Zhuge Feiyang.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting curiously moved towards the colorful gauze. Although the gauze made it dim, he could still make out the person's appearance. He saw the man's peach blossom eyes raised seductively and his thin lips were smiling. The natural aura of nobility and unrulyness blended together in a contradictory way, but it was unforgettable at first sight.
"Is this the Regent Prince Nangong Muxi of Tianxi Kingdom?" Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, and after Qingqing nodded, he sneered: "No more than that."
The hoarse voice and sneering words drifted into Nangong Muxi's ears with the wind.
