Xuan Tiange felt deeply that she was being teased, and it was she who took the initiative to extend her hand, which made her very embarrassed.
He pulled his hand back with all his strength, wanting to slap him in the face, but when he saw the smile on that person's face, he couldn't put his hand down no matter what.
"It's obvious that he's not a good person." After a long while, she finally managed to say this, then stood up and warned him one last time: "Hurry up and ask someone to carry those boxes out of Prince Wenxuan's Palace. This princess doesn't want them! Also, the ancient Shu people are coming to the capital ahead of schedule. I must tell my uncle the emperor. I'm sure he has ulterior motives."
She wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but she heard the man who was still sitting behind her say, "Does the Emperor of Dashun still care about these things now?"
Xuan Tiange paused, and thinking of the situation in the palace, he couldn't help but feel gloomy.
"Where are you going, Princess?" The man stood up, walked to Xuan Tiange and asked, "Are you going to Prince Yu's Mansion?"
"How do you know?" After saying this, I wanted to slap myself. How could I reply so quickly?
The man chuckled, but his face became more serious. He said, "I suddenly showed up last night, you must have found it strange. This morning, another generous gift arrived. I'm sure the Wenxuan Palace is shrouded in surprise and suspicion, right? As the best brother and sister, and friend, you traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to the desert to attend their wedding. Now that I have encountered a difficult problem, I will naturally think of finding someone to talk to. And this person is none other than Princess Ji'an."
"You can no longer call me Princess Ji'an, you have to call me Princess Yu." Xuan Tiange reminded him, and at the same time said: "So what if we go to Prince Yu's Mansion? What does this have to do with you? I advise you to go back to where you came from, follow the King of Ancient Shu to the capital, and pay homage to the palace."
The man shook his head, "No, no, no, some things cannot be done in a regular order, and you have to catch the enemy by surprise. To be honest, I have correspondence with the Ninth Prince and that Ji'an... Oh, Princess Yu, so I came to the capital early this time because I wanted to meet them first. Since the princess is also going to the Prince Yu's Mansion, it's just right, you can take me with you on the way."
"Didn't you say you came to Beijing to visit your savior?" Xuan Tiange curled his lips. "You are so slick and talk nonsense. Who knows which of your words are true and which are false? I can't bring such a person to Prince Yu's Palace. You are making a wrong calculation."
"It's not nonsense." The man said to her, "Meeting the Ninth Prince and the Princess is one thing, and visiting you is another. There is no impulse between the two. I am not lying." He spread his hands and continued, "It's just that I go with you. Besides, we are familiar with each other. I can tell you about the things in the desert on the way. For example, Princess Yu's cousin Yao Shu seems to have fallen in love with a girl in the desert and is pursuing her. For example, there are many fruits and vegetables in the ancient Shu capital, but they are more than ten times sweeter than those in Dashun. Besides, in broad daylight, are you afraid that I will do something cruel to you? It's just the Prince Yu's Mansion. Even if you don't take me, I can find it myself. Take me with you, it's just a companion, why not?"
Xuan Tiange felt that this man had a strong ability to persuade people. He could make many unreasonable things sound reasonable. He was really eloquent. But she did not refuse. After all, Yao Shu had fallen in love with a woman in the desert, and this gossip made her curious. Moreover, as he said, the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion was open, and if someone wanted to go there, they could go there themselves, but they would just be traveling with him. So she nodded, took this man out of the teahouse, and got on the imperial carriage together.
The maid Huan'er who stayed in the carriage saw that her princess actually brought back a strange man. Although the man looked noble and didn't look like a bad guy, it was not appropriate! Besides, the man was obviously not from Middle-earth. His face looked like an outsider. Wouldn't it be dangerous to ride in the royal carriage with him?
She stared at the man warily, but found that he had never taken his eyes off Xuan Tiange. The topic started with Yao Shu, and then talked about the fruits of ancient Shu. The two of them were chatting and laughing. Huan'er was fascinated by what she heard, and gradually forgot to be vigilant. It was not until the imperial carriage stopped in front of the Prince Yu's Mansion and the man helped Xuan Tiange get out of the car that she realized that she had forgotten her job. How could she let a strange man help her beloved princess?
But by the time she reacted, the two had already walked into Prince Yu's Mansion and were being led to the main hall by Madam Zhou.
Xuan Tiange walked in front, rolled his eyes at the man beside him, then pointed at his supported arm and reminded him, "Ah Heng said that when a man helps a lady get off the car, it's gentlemanly and not overstepping the mark. But if you don't take your claws back anytime soon, I'll think you're trying to molest her."
The man was obedient, nodded and took his hand away. However, when Xuan Tiange breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly said, "That's fine. After all, there's no rush."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, just something that came to my mind. Princess, please..." As he spoke, he had already reached the main hall door. He made a gesture of invitation and asked Xuan Tiange to go first. Then the two of them walked in one after the other. After they sat down, servants served tea. Madam Zhou went to the backyard to pass on the message. Along the way, she guessed the identity of the man.
Madam Zhou had seen the world in her early years in the palace. She had always had an impression of what the people of the small countries surrounding Dashun looked like when they came to pay tribute. This man was obviously from the south. His high nose bridge and deep eye sockets almost revealed his identity as an ancient Shu. Thinking that the king of ancient Shu would come to Beijing soon, this man might be the vanguard, coming to Beijing in advance to gather information. But, what was this person doing in the Prince Yu's Mansion? How did he get involved with Princess Wuyang?
Madam Zhou was puzzled, but Feng Yuheng was not surprised to hear the news. After listening to Madam Zhou's description of the man's appearance and the interaction between him and Xuan Tiange, she even immediately denied that the man was just the vanguard of the ancient Shu king.
It was still early, and Xuan Tianming had not returned from the morning court, so Feng Yuheng went to the front hall to meet him. Seeing her calm and composed, Madam Zhou felt relieved. Regardless of whether they were from Ancient Shu or not, as long as her princess could handle it, there was nothing to worry about. Moreover, there was nothing in this world that their princess could not handle!
When Feng Yuheng arrived at the main hall, he just happened to hear Xuan Tiange asking the man, "Do you think Yao Shu can succeed in pursuing that desert girl? I heard that the living habits of you desert people are different from our Dashun people. If they are together, there won't be any conflicts in life, right?"
Feng Yuheng blinked. Yao Shu is chasing after a woman from the desert? This is new. I haven't heard of it in the letter! As she walked, she asked, "My cousin has a crush on someone? Are you serious?" After that, she said to Xuan Tiange, "The habits of the people in the desert are naturally different from those in Dashun, but since my cousin has already gone to the south to take up a post, he naturally has to integrate into the habits of the desert and slowly get used to it."
As soon as Xuan Tiange saw Feng Yuheng coming, he quickly stood up and walked in front of her. He held the man with one hand and pointed at the man sitting next to him with the other hand and said, "He said he had correspondence with you and Brother Nine, and he insisted that I take him to Prince Yu's Mansion. Ah Heng, quickly determine whether he is lying. If it is confirmed that he is lying, then quickly beat him out with sticks. Don't leave a scourge in the capital."
The man looked at Feng Yuheng helplessly and said, "Did you see that? She was chatting with me enthusiastically just now, and now she wants to kick me out of the capital. The women of Dashun are really fierce, and they are not as gentle as the ancient Shu women."
"Then go back and flirt with your ancient Shu people!" Xuan Tiange put her hands on her hips, "I tell you, this is our territory. If you want to stir up trouble here, you're making a wrong idea. Not to mention trouble, even if you want to take a breath, you have to ask this princess for permission!"
The man smiled bitterly, looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "It is true that Yao Shu fell in love with the girl from the desert. The girl is the daughter of an ordinary family in Yueping City. She is beautiful and has a good personality. I didn't mean to ask about it, but the news has spread in Pingyue City. Everyone knows about it. There are even people who place bets in the casino, betting on whether Yao Shu can get the girl."
Feng Yuheng was very excited to hear this. She was also very happy. Yao Shu and Lu Yao had been married before, but he suffered such a big blow later and had been a little unhappy. Including going to the desert to take up his post, he just wanted to escape from this world and change the environment and mood. She thought that with Yao Shu's personality, it would be difficult for him to have a second spring, but she didn't expect that there was a marriage waiting for him in the desert. This was really a good thing. I just don't know what the woman's character is like. I hope she is not another Lu Yao.
The man seemed to see what she was thinking, and took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, the people of Yueping City are generally simple and kind, and their family background is good. Even ordinary families have enough food and clothing, and they don't favor boys over girls like Dashun. Most women have read books, are literate, well-educated, and have gentle temperaments." After he finished speaking, he smiled at Feng Yuheng and said, "Princess Yu, come to think of it, this can be regarded as a small gift from me to Dashun?"
“How could you…” Xuan Tiange wanted to ask how could you be so shameless? It’s just a piece of broken news, can it be considered a gift?
But before she could speak, Feng Yuheng said, "Of course I can. As a noble king of the ancient Shu Kingdom, it is more than a small gift to help my cousin consider his lifelong affairs. It is a big gift!" She knew a little about Yueping City. After all, she had lived there for a period of time and naturally knew the situation in the city. It was a good fortune for Yao Shu to find a girl from Yueping City!
She said the King of Ancient Shu, then walked to the main seat and sat down. The person sitting opposite her was not surprised at all, only Xuan Tiange widened his eyes. Then the person asked, "Are you the King of Ancient Shu? Is that true? Are you a liar?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "I heard that the new king of the Ancient Shu Kingdom is in his twenties and looks very handsome. I got to see him today. It's true that seeing is believing."
"Hahaha!" The man laughed and nodded at Feng Yuheng. "Princess Yu is indeed extraordinary. She saw through my identity at a glance. But please also see that I have no ill intentions in coming here. On the contrary, there is something that requires us to cooperate with each other." After he finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Tiange meaningfully, which gave Xuan Tiange goose bumps...
