Gluttonous Crown Princess - Chapter 95
The weather in August is still sultry, but fortunately, it rained just yesterday, and it was a lot cooler this morning.
There was a crowd on Zhuque Street. It was heard that Rong Di’s delegation had entered Beijing, and the people of Chang’an City dragged their homes and huddled together on the street. The restaurants along the street are also fully occupied. The last time Rong Di’s delegation entered Beijing was fifteen years ago. This kind of excitement has not been seen a few times in a lifetime, so I can’t miss it.
In the most luxurious Chunfeng Building in Chang’an City.
Xu Wenchan dragged Xu Guangji to the room, and proudly boasted, “I still have the foresight. I booked this room early, otherwise we have to squeeze like others.”
Xu Guangji didn’t have much interest in Rongdi’s mission. He just saw the chaos of people, and was worried that his sister was running away alone, so he came out with her.
The two had just gone up the stairs, but they met acquaintances in the hallway—
Little grandpa Xie’s face is like a crown of jade, and he holds a gold-sprinkling folding fan. He has a pair of phoenix eyes with a slightly surprised smile, “Xu Qilang, Miss Xu.”
Xu Wenchan raised his head to look at the little grandpa Xie, faintly greeted him, and then set his sights on the petite green skirt woman wearing a veil next to the little grandpa Xie. She asked tentatively, “The county owner?”
Qinghe lifted the white gauze slightly, revealing half of his fair cheeks, and said hello in a soft voice, “A Chan…”
After a pause, her eyes flowed, and her gaze stayed on Xu Guangji for a moment, “Xu and Xu Xiaojun.”
Xu Guangji’s cold white Qingjun’s cheeks also had an inexplicable red, and he lowered his eyes and arched his hands, “Xie Xiaogongye, Qinghe County Lord.”
After a brief greeting, Xu Wenchan saw that the brothers and sisters of the Xie family were going downstairs in this direction, and couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you looking at the Rong Di mission?”
Little Grandpa Xie stretched out his hands helplessly, “We were planning to see it. We never thought that all the private rooms in the building were fully booked, and it would be hard for us to be crowded with so many people.”
Xu Wenchan laughed when he heard it, “Hey, isn’t it a coincidence? I booked a private room. If the young master and the county lord don’t dislike it, sit with us!”
Little Grandpa Xie’s eyes lit up, and he leaned over and asked his sister what he meant, “Qinghe, what do you say?”
Qing He nodded and smiled at Xu Wenchan, “Then I will disturb you.”
“What’s bothering you, there are so many people!” Xu Wenchan was deeply dimpled, “I booked a private room half a month ago, the location is good, the field of vision is wide, and the thief can see clearly…”
While they were talking, the two little ladies were affectionate and walked towards the room, holding hands.
The private room is by the window, and there is a beauty sticking out toward the street. Xiaoer brings tea and cakes and retreats in due course.
Little Grandpa Xie and Xu Guangji sat facing each other, a gentle and sloppy man, and a strong bookish spirit; a tall man, but a Confucian general.
Not only did the two of them have similar temperaments, they also shared their hobbies, and they soon started chatting together.
On the other side, Qinghe took off his veil and sat leaning against the railing with Xu Wenchan, looking towards the crowded street.
“I heard that Prince Rong Di, who led the mission to Beijing this time, is only 23 years old, and he is the son of King Ye Lu Khan the most. I don’t know what it looks like?” Xu Wenchan squeezed a handful of fried peanuts. , One after another to the mouth.
“Rong Di’s folk style is sturdy. I heard that their men are tall like giants, with big arms and round waists. They are very fierce. Even women are born tall and rough. A woman can marry several husbands!”
Because of what happened at birth, Qinghe didn’t have a half-hearted impression of Rong Di.
In her impression, Rongdi people are tall and tall, with blue-faced fangs like beasts, big voices, and they are no different from barbarians.
Xu Wenchan was born in the border gate since he was a child, but he has seen some Rongdi people. Although they are not as scary as Qinghe said, they are not so good-looking.
She wondered, maybe members of the royal family could look better? I heard that Prince Ashinaqi’s mother is a famous beauty on the grassland.
After a while, the discussion in the street became enthusiastic, and the two of them were startled and looked over.
I saw the city gates wide open, and accompanied by the sound of drums, a long line slowly marched over on the wide Suzaku Avenue.
The people pad their feet, crane their necks, looking and chatting with red faces.
Xu Wenchan also turned to the two people drinking tea in the house and said, “Seven brothers, little grandpa, Rong Di’s mission is here, come out and see!”
Compared with Xu Wenchan’s excitement, Qinghe is still very calm, with one hand gently supporting his small chin, and only a pair of black eyes looking toward the street.
Little Grandpa Xie and Xu Guangji also walked out. The positions outside were a bit narrow. They couldn’t compete with their sisters for a place to sit, so they had to stand and watch.
On the street, after more than forty leading Rong Di guards passed by, a stalwart man riding a maroon horse appeared in the sight of everyone.
His face is very three-dimensional and deep, with a tall nose, thin lips, wearing Rong Di’s short robe, and a thin layer of fabric, and his strong muscle lines can still be seen.
Standing out like a group of chickens, just one glance can tell that this person’s identity is not simple.
“This should be the Prince Ashinaqi?” Xu Wenchan’s gaze fell on the tall and muscular man.
Little Grandpa Xie shook his fan and replied, “Looking at the costume, it should be.”
Xu Wenchan smacked his tongue and said, “It’s really worthy of being a tribe of wolves. He looks really strong enough.”
Qinghe frowned and said in his heart: Rong Di man really looks like a giant, this prince looks at least nine feet tall, and his fist, ho, as big as a casserole, looks really amazing. Fear.
Xu Guangji stood behind him, and the corner of his eyes pretended to sweep Qinghe unintentionally, seeing her frowning brows and white side face, her thin lips pressed slightly.
What is the county owner thinking?
Doesn’t she like tall and strong men?
After the last parting, she looked a little thinner?
The four of them watched this lively scene with their own minds, and then they had another lunch together before they parted.
“Brother Seven, people are all gone, don’t look.” Xu Wenchan raised five fingers and shook them in front of Xu Guangji, blocking Xu Guangji’s sight sticking to the carriage.
Xu Guangji was able to recover.
Xu Wenchan raised an eyebrow and looked at him seriously, “What’s the matter with you, it seems that after meeting the head of Qinghe County, I have been utterly unwilling.”
Xu Guangji narrowed his eyes and said, “No. Just seeing the county owner, I thought about the previous Zhuyuan Villa.”
When mentioning the matter, Xu Wenchan’s expression also became solemn, and he pulled Xu Guangji’s sleeves, and said seriously, “You must not presume this in front of the county lord. This matter is psychological to any young lady. The shadow, you just don’t know it.”
Xu Guangji nodded solemnly, “Well, I know.”
“Fortunately, your Majesty has been aware of the details and did not protect the gangsters. He punished the Zhou family and asked the second princess to marry Zhou Shaohui. The bad guys have their own retribution!…Oh, yes, I heard from Ati that His Majesty also wanted to give Qinghe a knighthood and make him second. Where is the Qingping Princess of Ping.”
Xu Guangji was startled, “Zheng Erpin…”
He frowned. He didn’t care much about the official rank before, but he thought that Qinghe was the second-rank princess, and he was just a fourth-rank Wuwei general.
The distance between him and her is farther.
—
It was night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, and the reception banquet set up for Rong Di’s delegation was held at Xushi.
The lights in the Yanfang Hall are brightly lit, and in August Jin Gui sends bursts of refreshing sweet fragrance.
Emperor Zhaokang and Zhou Huang are sitting at the top, and down on the right side are the princess and the county lord of Qinghe, and on the other side are Pei Yan and Tao Ti. The other princes and nobles and civil and military officials sit in order of rank.
Tonight Tao Ti is dressed in a rouge-red embroidered Begonia palace dress, wearing a flying fairy bun, and wearing a set of pearl agate head.
In order to match the precious head and face and bright and colorful clothes, she also put on full makeup, her small lips were smeared with fat, rosy and full, like bright red cherries, with a seductive and attractive appearance.
When she looked in the mirror, she was particularly satisfied with this outfit.
When I saw the surprise in Pei Yan’s eyes when I went out, my heart was even more exhilarated. Although women dress up mainly for their own happiness, but they can make the person they like amazed, that kind of satisfaction is simply indescribable!
But now, sitting at this banquet, she suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with this outfit—
The prince Rong Di, who was sitting diagonally across from him, kept looking at her, the hot and straight gaze made Tao Ti uncomfortable.
She lowered her eyes, tried her best to avoid intersecting the gaze with that prince Rongdi, and muttered in her heart: Is there something wrong with the prince? Even if your Rongdi folk customs are open, but you follow the customs in the countryside, it is really disgusting to stare at a married woman like this!
Pei Yan naturally also noticed the zealous gaze that Prince Na Rongdi kept throwing, Qing Jun’s face did not show joy or anger, but a layer of cold murderous aura gradually condensed in those deep black eyes.
He looked at Prince Na Rongdi faintly.
If Prince Na Rongdi was a clever man, he would naturally understand Pei Yan’s warning.
However, this prince Rong Di did not shy away at all, but looked at Pei Yan with interest, and also held a glass of wine and toasted him.
Pei Yan, “…”
Stupid, or provocative?
He narrowed his black eyes, raised his glass, and took a symbolic sip.
Fortunately, singing and dancing soon came on stage. The dancers’ graceful bodies and flying skirts and colorful sleeves blocked the sight of Prince Rong Di to a certain extent.
Pei Yan turned his head slightly and looked at Tao Ti beside him.
His little princess lowered her head, seemed a little depressed, and her charming little face was bulging angrily.
This attitude made Pei Yan feel unhappy.
However, his gaze fell on her bright and gorgeous clothes and her increasingly beautiful face. He couldn’t help tightening his fingers holding the wine glass, and the blue veins on the back of his cold white hand were particularly obvious.
In half a year, she seemed to be more and more beautiful.
The casual and elegant dressing up on weekdays is not so obvious. Today, she is so brightly dressed, like a delicate flower in full bloom, which makes people unable to move their eyes.
His Atty’s appearance is so outstanding, it will inevitably attract other men’s covet.
At the thought of this, Pei Yan’s eyes became colder, and an extremely strong possessiveness came into his heart.
He wanted to build her a gorgeous palace, let her stay in it, and not let other men look at her except him.
Let her beauty be shown to him alone.
This thought rushed crazily in his chest, and he stared at her rosy lips, his eyes darkened.
Perhaps his gaze was too hot, Tao Ti suddenly raised his head, and when he met his paranoid and crazy gaze, he was dumbfounded.
When she blinked and looked again, Pei Yan’s peachy eyes were as usual again, with a soft moonlight gentleness.
Is it your own illusion?
Tao Ti attributed it to himself drinking a glass of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.
“You didn’t move your chopsticks much tonight.” Pei Yan smiled gently and gracefully took a chopstick dish to her bowl. “Try this clear stewed golden hook wings, it tastes pretty good.”
Tao Ti lowered his head and tasted it. After taking two bites, he suddenly thought of something and asked softly, “His Royal Highness, how long will the delegation of Rong Di stay in Chang’an this time?”
Pei Yan met her bright and moist eyes, and said lightly, “About ten days.”
“Then where do they live?”
“Hongyou Temple will make arrangements.” Pei Yan added a cup of fragrant apricots and dew honey, and said calmly, “Ati is very curious about the Rong Di mission?”
“I’ll just ask it casually.” Tao Ti said in his heart. Anyway, he was nestled in the Yaoguang Hall every day, and would never meet this Prince Rong Di again after he wanted to come.
Pei Yan pursed her lips without saying a word, only adding food to her thoughtfully.
When there was a singing and dancing on the stage, Prince Na Rongdi suddenly got up to toast.
After paying respect to Emperor Zhaokang and Empress Zhou, he walked towards Pei Yan and Tao Ti with a wine glass.
This abrupt behavior caused the officials of Da Yuan Chao to frown, but after thinking about it, the Rong Di people have always been savage and rude, and it is not surprising that such a behavior was made. The atmosphere is in harmony, and they are not easy to jump out and accuse it of breaking the atmosphere, and they all silently said nothing.
Prince Rong Di is 1.9 meters tall, he is big, and his tendons can’t cover him. Such a strong physique, placed in modern times, is the bodybuilder on the gym poster.
He doesn’t look ugly, his features are correct and deep, and he has a pair of charming amber eyes.
When he held the glass, his smile was bright and his big white teeth were shining, “Princess Ashina Qijing and the prince princess have a glass!”
They all walked up to the front to toast, Pei Yan naturally took the cup and got up, Tao Ti also stood up.
Pei Yan’s face was cold, and he drank the wine in one cup, but when Tao Ti was about to drink, he held her hand.
Tao Ti, “…?”
Pei Yan snorted with a smile, took the wine glass in her hand, and said to Ashina, “The lonely princess is too strong to drink. This glass of wine is for her alone.”
Having said that, directly raise his head, roll his throat up and down, and drink up a glass of wine.
Ashina raised his eyebrows, seemingly a bit playful, “The prince is a good drinker.”
After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass. When I was drinking, my eyes kept looking down, still watching Tao Ti.
After drinking, he did not leave immediately, but smiled and boasted, “His Royal Highness, your prince is really beautiful and beautiful.”
The curvature of the corner of Pei Yan’s mouth remained unchanged, his eyes were dull and unclear, and his voice was clear and cold, “Prince Ashina, you should go back to your place.”
Ashnaqi raised his hand and touched his nose, smirked, and turned back.
Tao Ti is not stupid either, she naturally sees the tense atmosphere just now.
She stretched out her hand and gently hooked Pei Yan’s hand, Shui Lingling’s eyes smiled at him, so that he should not be angry.
The chill of Pei Yan’s whole body caught a little bit, but instead he took her hand and took her back into the seat.
Tao Ti is still a little happy at the moment, is Pei Yan jealous?
Hmm, being jealous is a little cute!
While everyone was not paying attention, she sneaked into his ear and softened her voice, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, I like you the most!”
