He wore plain brocade clothes and light makeup, and pointed to the sky with green leaves on the north.
The greenery does not know the beauty of spring, and the red flowers dye half of the mountain.
Jian Yanfeng looked left and right. He really didn't know where he should sit. He should be sitting next to his friend. He stood there and looked for a long time, but he didn't see the three people paying attention to him.
"Fengqing, try this dish." Su Qing smiled as she placed a piece of chicken into Xia Zihou's bowl. Xia Zihou stared blankly at the food in his bowl.
"A Xia, what's wrong? Don't you want to eat this dish? Give it to me." As Hua Che spoke, he had already reached out with his chopsticks to pick up the piece of chicken in her bowl. He picked it up mid-air and dropped it along the way. Hence, Hua Che's face was filled with gentleness and innocence as he looked at Xia Zihou, whose face had already darkened.
"A Xia, I accidentally dropped it." Su Qing's expression turned cold, and the chopsticks in her hand almost flew out to hit Hua Che. The table was only left with one-third of its original size after Jian Yanfeng's slash. He kicked two sticks and placed them under the table. Then, he dragged a chair over and sat down in front of Xia Zihou. He slowly took the rice that Yue Bai Tian had handed him and sat down opposite Xia Zihou with an arrogant expression.
"During the day, tell Autumn Zither to remember to ask Jian Yanfeng for the money for the damaged table.”She tightened her grip on the chopsticks in her hand and finally chose to sit down to eat. She was really hungry. Su Qing, who was beside her, would serve her food from time to time. Hua Che smiled gently and deeply. The two of them fought openly and secretly.
"What? Friend, you can't be so stingy, right? In the entire Yongan Imperial City, the Regent King's Residence was the most luxurious and magnificent, yet he still wanted him to compensate. If he had money, he would not have come to the Prince's Residence to freeload.
"Young Master Jian, it's like this. The eight immortals rosewood table that you damaged, plus the cost of this meal, is a total of twenty thousand taels of silver.”Autumn Zither slowly walked in from outside the door. He took out a small abacus from his bosom and started counting. Then, he looked at Jian Yanfeng with a benevolent expression. Jian Yanfeng's face turned darker and darker. Finally, he looked at Xia Zihou with tears in his eyes.
"Friend, can you not give it to me? I didn't bring that much money with me.”Xia Zihou glanced at him indifferently, then put down his bowl and prepared to return to his room to wash up and sleep. The two people behind her quickly put down their bowls and followed behind her. She raised her eyebrows slightly and turned around to look at the two of them. Su Qing waved his Heaven and Earth Fan and looked at her with an indecipherable expression. She did not know if he was really angry or if it was because he had a conflict with Hua Che. Hua Che still looked calm, if not for the hint of interest in his eyes.
"Is there anything else?" She turned around and raised her eyebrows slightly.
" A Xia, it's getting late…" Hua Che looked at the dark night sky. Red lanterns lit up the entire palace.
"What does it have to do with me?" She didn't want to provoke these two people. She couldn't tell the depth of one of them, and the Third Prince of the Xia Dynasty. Both of them were not easy to deal with.
"Fengqing, as your future husband, this king has to protect your safety. This king doesn't mind being your protector.”Su Qing glanced at Hua Che discreetly. This person would be his rival in every aspect. This was a feeling between men.
Su Qing was born to be a monster. When she raised her eyebrows at Xia Zihou, Xia Zihou was stunned. She never liked people who were too monster. Although Su Qing was monster, she had never seen a man who could be so monster like this.
Her lips curled into a sinister smile. "When did I say that I want to marry into the Zhao Kingdom? Or do you want to see if this king has the ability to fight to the death?”She was naturally arrogant. The half golden mask reflected a cold light and instantly entered the eyes of the two people. Of course, there was another person, if that person was not eating and drinking at the table at the moment.
Hua Che stood there with a warm smile but no longer spoke. The two of them looked at each other and headed out of the Imperial Residence. In a flash, a few houses outside the manor collapsed. Xia Zihou glanced back, then flung his sleeves and walked back to his sleeping quarters. The four maidservants beside her carried lanterns and followed behind her. Yue Bai Tian stood beside her and followed her, but his eyes kept looking behind him inadvertently. No one knew who he was looking for. The maidservants in the manor did not understand why Prince Su and Master Hua, who were both so beautiful, would fall for their own prince. They even thought that these two men must be blind.
"All of you may leave." Xia Zihou glanced at the lantern beside him, and Yue Baitian nodded in agreement. Yue Moyan had already woken up and was looking for her all over the world with his sword. Xia Zihou had also seen her. Yue Moyan held the sword in his hand. The blade was red and was filled with the anger of the sword owner. The sword was surrounded by a red true qi that looked like anger. Her brows were slightly sunken.
"Mo Yan, come in." Yue Moyan's vicious aura instantly disappeared. She looked at Yue Bai Tian and the man gave her a look of caution. He then turned around with the lantern to prepare some things for his highness to change into. She walked into the room and gently closed the door.
He lowered his head and walked up to her, feeling uneasy. "Your Highness."
"Mo Yan, no matter what, reason must suppress everything. I hope you understand." Yue Moyan was too impulsive, not only impulsive, he was simply courting death!
"Miss! We have so many brothers…" She had grown up with Xia Zihou in the military camp, and her relationship with those brothers was no less than Xia Zihou's. Her personality was also like that of a man, and she was one of the most straightforward.
"That's a battlefield! Do you think this king doesn't hate? Did that mean she didn't want to kill him? But he couldn't! If there is another war, our Great Xia Dynasty will be finished! How long have you been with this king?" Xia Zihou slammed the table and stood up. Her face was pale, and her eyes were like torches. Then, she returned to her original appearance, calm and emotionless.
" Eight years and six months." She lowered her head, but her unyielding aura did not subside.
"Since you've followed me for so long, Mo Yan, as my right-hand man, not only do you need to have superior martial arts skills, you also need to understand me and discuss a grand plan with me.”Xia Zihou turned his face away and looked at the pink cherry blossoms by the window. Under the red lanterns, it was a unique scene.
"Miss, I understand. " Mo Yan swore to follow Miss to the death…" She was eager to express her feelings to Xia Zihou.
"Mo Yan, you may leave.”She glanced coldly at the door and then returned to her usual cold appearance.
Yue Bai quickly brought the water in and helped her wash up before leaving.
In the royal court, swords were drawn, and the officials were engaged in heated discussions. Xia Zihou sat on the chair, caressing the strange-shaped ring on her finger. Those people were discussing whether she should marry into the Zhao Kingdom. Rather than calling it a marriage alliance, it was more like the Emperor Xia Tianlin did not trust her and felt that the Xia Dynasty was about to lose, so he sent her out to improve the relationship between the two countries.
"Shut up. How could the court be so noisy!”With the Emperor's order, the officials immediately quieted down and returned to their seats. Only then did they realize that they had forgotten about Xia Zihou. The main character had yet to say anything, but they had already started discussing non-stop.
"Those who agree with Hou 'er marrying down, stand on the left. Those who disagree, stand on the right.”Xia Tianlin looked at the official and pointed down, his eyes never leaving Xia Zihou, who was standing there like an outsider.
"Imperial Father, you…seemed to have forgotten to ask this king.”Xia Zihou said coldly. Those who were about to stand in the direction stopped in their tracks. Looking at the Eldest Princess 'expression, they knew that she was unwilling to marry. The Eldest Princess' power was monstrous. Between the Emperor and the Eldest Princess, who would be more superior? The officials also returned to their seats. Minister Wu stood at the side, unmoving like a mountain. Regarding this matter, he remained neutral, but Xia Zihou's daughter held the power of the court. How could the Crown Prince accept this?
"Imperial Father, your son feels that our Great Xia is not reduced to the point where we need a woman to go through a marriage alliance. If word gets out, wouldn't the commoners see our Great Xia as a joke? If he wanted to marry his elder sister, if she was the first to be unwilling, then his son would be the second to object.”Crown Prince Xia He took a step forward and remonstrated with the Emperor. The golden color on his body made him look casual.
Xia Zihou's eyes slightly twitched in his direction, but he didn't say anything.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Brother's suggestion…"
The final discussion was dashed by Xia Zihou's cold rejection. Xia Tianlin had only allowed Xia Zihou to stay behind and looked down at her from above. This daughter whom he had watched grow up should always be in his hands. He, Xia Tianlin, did not need a regent. The late emperor was muddle-headed, but he was not! However, since when did the daughter in front of him change? Her wings had hardened and she was no longer willing to fly in his hands. She knew how to control him as she wished. The child that woman gave birth to was truly extraordinary. Ning Lan, if you find out in the afterlife, will you be happy for her or worried for me?
"Hou 'er? Are you really unwilling to marry Su Qing?" He asked kindly, as if he would approach her in the next second, just like ten years ago, slowly pulling her into his arms and telling her. Hou 'er is not afraid. I can do whatever I want with my father's world. But now, she would no longer believe this person. It turned out that everything was just to tell the late emperor how much he loved this genius child on the surface. That was all.
"Marry to Zhao? Father, do you believe that I will destroy the Xia Dynasty and the Zhao Kingdom?”She stood up and slowly walked up the stairs to the 95th seat. Every step seemed to slow down. How cold and hateful was the face under the golden mask? Xia Tianlin did not even have the courage to look.
"Destroy Zhao? Hou 'er, what's wrong with marrying Su Qing?”
"What's so good about marrying him? Will he only marry me in this life? Or is it that he will definitely become the emperor and I will be the only one in the harem? Father, if he can't do it, then don't talk to me about anything good!”
"You! Since ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines, let alone an emperor! The three thousand beauties in the harem are already ordinary. How did I give birth to such a petty daughter like you?”
"Imperial Father, this son was born from Imperial Mother and only borrowed something from you. Why must you be so petty and remember it until now?”Xia Zihou stood in front of the imperial table, smiling at him calmly. He had no right to talk about his mother, Ning Lan. That woman who was as gentle as water. In his memories, she would always caress her hair, look at her with that gentle gaze, and hum songs that he had never heard before. That woman who had died in the struggle for power and position for him, that woman who had shouldered the entire Xia Empire for him, was finally killed by him. That was…his Crown Princess.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184:24PM
