Chapter 50 The Crown Prince of Western Chu

"Quick, come here!"

Princess Yunheng took Xie Zhuoning and went straight up the Feixian Bridge.

There is no water but a road under Feixian Bridge, and it is the only way to enter Tianmen Street.

The bridge was already crowded with people coming to see the excitement.

But Princess Yunheng managed to squeeze out a path from the crowd and brought Xie Zhuoning to the best position.

He even took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and said, "I just fried some freshly made by the chef in the palace. Want a handful?"

Xie Zhuoning's mouth twitched: "...Princess, I'm afraid you go out of the palace quite often, right?"

Which princess is like her, so down-to-earth?

“Tsk—” Princess Yunheng hurriedly asked her to lower her voice, “When you are out, just call me Yunheng.”

Xie Zhuoning readily followed suit, "Yunheng, do you have other flavors of melon seeds? I like the spiced ones."

“It must be.”

The two of them were cracking melon seeds, and all the wives and girls around them were excited.

"Here he comes!" They were startled and looked up quickly.

In front was the Jingji Army of Daye leading the way, followed by local soldiers and maids dressed in Western Chu costumes, and a group of diplomatic officials.

Further back, a carriage pulled by sixteen horses arrived. No, it couldn't be called a carriage anymore, it was as big as the room.

Beaded curtains made of colorful gems hung around the carriage, swaying leisurely as the vehicle moved forward.

Faintly, one could see a man half-lying in the car, wrapped in a red robe, supporting his body with one hand and gently shaking a luminous cup in the other.

This half-hidden and half-visible appearance made everyone stand on tiptoe and stretch their necks, extremely curious.

Princess Yunheng scratched her head and rubbed her cheeks. "Why would a grown man need a curtain to block his view? It would kill me if I looked at him."

Xie Zhuoning thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it is true that people will die."

In the previous life, there were two sisters who fell in love with Ye Wuque as soon as they saw him, and they competed to marry him.

As a result, the two of them got so angry that they picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed each other dozens of times, and both died.

As a result, the men they had been fighting for for a long time didn't even know who they were.

Princess Yunheng sneered, "I don't believe it. How can a man be so good-looking?"

But the more she thought about it, the more itchy she became. She had to see what Ye Wuque looked like.

Seeing that the carriage was about to reach Feixian Bridge, Yunheng felt around, trying to find something handy.

But today, for convenience, she only tied her hair with a headband and didn't bring anything with her.

His eyes turned around and fell on Xie Zhuoning's head, "Let me lend you my hairpin."

She quickly pulled out the hairpin, aimed it at the carriage and threw it over.

"No!" Xie Zhuoning was horrified upon seeing this, and leaned forward to grab it.

Unexpectedly, she actually caught it.

I felt relieved immediately.

As the future Crown Princess, she had no idea how many eyes were watching her, both openly and secretly, so she couldn't make any mistakes.

If people knew that her hairpin fell into the hands of the Crown Prince of Western Chu, it would probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

She wanted to cancel the engagement, but she didn't want to be broken off as a sinner.

But it was too early for her to relax.

When she was picking up the hairpin, half of her body was leaning out of the railing. There were so many people behind her, squeezing her, that she lost her balance and fell off the bridge!

"Sister Ning!" Yun Heng was shocked. When she wanted to reach out to pull her, it was too late.

Just as Xie Zhuoning was about to fall heavily to the ground, a red shadow suddenly flew out of the carriage, hooked her slender waist and pulled her into his arms, then returned to the carriage.

In just a split second, everyone had seen the flawless face of the night.

He was wearing a colorful red robe and a jade lotus crown tied loosely on his head. He had a handsome and elegant figure, and his skin was even more delicate than that of a woman.

His facial features were as dark as ink, and his pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to reflect the clear and bright spring light, which was indescribably charming.

There were so many people present, but they all suddenly fell silent for a moment.

The next second, even more enthusiastic shouts broke out.

"Is that the Crown Prince of Western Chu? He's so handsome, isn't he? I think fairies in paintings are no more than that."

"If I could see such a beautiful face every day, I would be willing to be your slave!"

"Who is that bastard who just jumped? How shameless! She actually threw herself into a man's arms!"

Despite what they said, women deliberately jumped off Feixian Bridge one after another.

Everyone wanted to be rescued by the heroic Prince of Western Chu, but the pearl curtain hanging from the carriage never moved.

All I could hear were screams of “Ahhhhhh” one after another, which were extremely miserable.

Princess Yunheng was stunned for a while, and when she came to her senses, she heard people discussing Xie Zhuoning——

"The first person to jump down was really lucky. He was rescued by the Crown Prince of Western Chu himself. I wonder which family this girl was from?"

"No matter which family you are from, you will all fly up to the tree and become a phoenix!"

"That's right. They are nothing like those unlucky ones. They failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. Look at what they have done."

There are voices of envy and jealousy, of happiness and misfortune, all kinds of voices mixed together.

Princess Yunheng looked down and saw that the carriage had passed Feixian Bridge and was heading towards Tianmen Street.

She slapped her head and said, "It's over!"

Sister Ning is still in the carriage!

She was filled with deep regret at this moment. If she had known, she should have waited until the palace banquet in the evening to watch it. Why was she in such a hurry?

We must quickly find a way to get Sister Ning out of the hands of the Crown Prince of Western Chu!

"Posthouse...Yes, let's go to the posthouse!"

She lifted up her skirt and disappeared in a flash.

now.

Inside the carriage.

Xie Zhuoning and Ye Wuque stared at each other.

After staring for a long time, Ye Wuque curled the corners of his lips and actually chuckled.

He hooked his fingers around her cheek and gently stroked it, "Xie Zhuoning, do you know how long I have been looking for you?"

"Hehe..." Xie Zhuoning laughed dryly and slowly moved his hand away. "Your Highness, you have recognized the wrong person. I am not Xie Zhuoning. My name is Xia Ju."

Hearing her nonsense, Ye Wuque was not annoyed. He propped up his chin and seemed to recall the past.

"Let me think about it. What did you say your name was last time? Cao'er, right? You've improved a lot this time and now you know how to come up with a nicer name."

Xie Zhuoning's eyelids twitched.

This guy has a really good memory. He still remembers clearly what she said to him casually after all these years.

Wait a minute...

Since I told him at that time, her name was Cao'er.

Then why did he call her by her first name as soon as he came up?

Although he had also been on a diplomatic mission to Daye in his previous life, he did not recognize her.

After all, the two had only met once when they were young, and that was many years ago.

Although I was filled with doubts, now was clearly not the time to think about them.

The Western Chu delegation was heading all the way to the post station. She couldn't follow them, could she?

"Can we stop by the roadside? I have something urgent to deal with at home." She made up an excuse.

But Ye Wuque was half-lying lazily, looking at her leisurely, "We can stop, but I don't know how many eyes are staring at this place right now, are you sure you want to get off?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuoning immediately gave up the idea of ​​getting off the bus halfway.

The future Crown Princess of Daye threw herself into the arms of the Crown Prince of Western Chu, and the two of them stayed in the carriage for so long that no one knew what they did.

There is no need to think about it, just the spit of Yu Shi could drown her!

"But we're almost at the posthouse, I can't just stay here and not get off, can I?"

"It's so simple," Ye Wuque smiled lazily and beautifully, "Isn't it enough for me to carry you out?"
