Chapter 963
After entering a restaurant and sitting down at a table facing the street, the princess sighed, "I really didn't expect the street to be so lively."
In the present-day Great Chu, the people walk on the streets as if they have lost their souls, and they are even careful when they speak, for fear that they might accidentally say something they shouldn't and bring disaster upon themselves and their families.
They hadn't seen such a lively scene in a long time.
The princess kept looking outside, as if she wanted to remember this scene.
But at that moment, her hand was gently grasped by the Sixth Prince.
“The Great Chu will also have this day, and we will see it soon,” the Sixth Prince said. “This is my promise to you, and I never break my word, as you know.”
The princess turned her head, smiled and nodded: "Yes, you never break your promise."
She took a deep breath: "Alright, we should go and take a look at the Yunnan Prince's Palace now."
"Yes, that's... an old friend."
A dark glint flashed in the Sixth Prince's eyes.
——
The Prince's Palace in Yunnan.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Sixth Prince and His Highness's Consort of Southern Chu have arrived and are currently in the front hall."
Huo Yue and Zhong Jie exchanged a glance, showing no surprise at all.
"This couple is really impatient. They've only just arrived in Luoyang and they couldn't wait to come here."
Huo Yue nodded: "Fortunately, Shu'er isn't here right now."
Huo Shu and the sixth prince of Southern Chu are old rivals. They have stabbed each other countless times and exchanged a whole host of swear words. If they were to meet at the mansion, it would probably taint the place.
Zhong Jie twitched the corners of her mouth, but she also agreed with what Huo Yue said.
When the couple arrived at the front hall, they saw the Sixth Prince and his wife sitting together, and the atmosphere seemed quite pleasant.
Upon seeing them approach, the two men rose and bowed. It was their first meeting at the Yunnan Prince's Palace, and the atmosphere was strangely amicable.
"Sixth Prince and Princess Consort have come all this way, why don't they rest more at the Sifang Pavilion?"
The sixth prince said, "I have enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way and do not feel tired."
The princess nodded, her gaze sweeping around the hall, and said, "I heard the Huo family has a princess, but I haven't seen her."
By all accounts, I'm about the same age as the princess. I've come to Luoyang and have no relatives or friends here. It would be wonderful to have someone my age to be my friend.
Zhong Jie smiled, but inwardly she couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Look at what they're saying.
The princess consort of an enemy kingdom has come to Luoyang City to make friends.
Who would believe that if I told them?
"You two only arrived in Luoyang today, yet you've already discovered that I have a child?"
Zhong Jie's smile was forced and insincere.
The Sixth Prince also laughed: "Princess, don't think too badly of her. She brought gifts from the Great Chu for the Princess."
Zhong Jie looked at him with a forced smile and said, "So it seems that you two were already investigating us before you left?"
Who exactly are these people in Luoyang City who are working for you two?
Her words instantly transformed the previously relaxed atmosphere into one that was subtly tense.
