As soon as the palace servants sang, Shen Yuexi and Huangfu Xiu entered the main hall. The Emperor of the Wei Kingdom, Dongguo Jiren, sat in the main hall and looked at them kindly.
When she saw Shen Yuexi's face, she frowned slightly. He had heard that the Crown Princess of Ning Country was extremely ugly, but what was Huangfu Tian thinking?
Thinking of Huangfu Tian, he frowned slightly. Huangfu Tian was a scheming old fox. Hiding his injured son in the fireworks area was indeed not enough to attract anyone's attention. With such shrewdness, she would definitely not want an ugly woman as her daughter-in-law unless this woman had other powerful aspects.
Thinking of this, he laughed. "In this competition, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are both nominated. It can be seen that the future of the Imperial Family is unpredictable.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. " I heard that Crown Prince Chengxian is also very good at fighting spirit and has a bright future ahead of him…" Huangfu Xiu put on the airs of a Crown Prince and looked as if he knew when to advance or retreat. Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows. Huangfu Xiu was really serious when he was acting.
Crown Prince Dongguo Chengxian nodded slightly at Huangfu Xiu.
"The Crown Prince of Zhao has arrived." The palace servants started singing again. Huangfu Xiu and Shen Yuexi quickly turned around and saw the Crown Prince of Zhao walking in with a smile on his face.
Shen Yuexi was stunned. Why was it him?
While he was still in a daze, the Crown Prince of Zhao had already bowed and said,""Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Crown Prince is too polite. Please take a seat.”Dongguo Jiren nodded, but in his heart, he thought of the news from the spy.
This Zhao Jianyuan was so young, but he already controlled most of the country. However, a few years ago, he was just an idle prince. From the looks of it, he must be extremely shrewd, so it was best to be careful.
After a round of formalities, Dongguo Jiren smiled warmly."This is the first time you young people are meeting each other. It should be lively. I, an old man, won't participate. Chengxian and Siqi, take good care of the guests.”
"Yes, Imperial Father." Crown Prince Dongguo Chengxian and Princess Dongguo Siqi responded. Shen Yuexi raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out that an early audience was just to let the royal families of the various countries get in touch with each other and increase their exchanges. Although they were allies, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was the best way to win.
Huangfu Xiu obviously knew Dongguo Chengxian. Thinking about it, it made sense. The Three Kingdoms Competition had been going on for so long. They had seen it before when Ning Country had hosted it. However, Huangfu Xiu was only a prince back then. Now, he was the Crown Prince.
"This is my royal sister Siqi. Siqi, come and greet brother Huangfu and his princess.”Dongguo Jiren's smile was as gentle as his father's. He pulled Dongguo Siqi out without batting an eyelid.
"Siqi greets Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess.”Princess Siqi was dressed in a misty robe. She had an oval face and watery eyes. Her smile was sweet and charming.
Huangfu Xiu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled and said,""Princess Siqi is too polite."
Shen Yuexi was secretly speechless. Huangfu Xiu was indeed a man who forgets friendship at the sight of women. He squinted his eyes at beautiful women.
The few of them pulled the Crown Prince of Zhao to chat for a while before singing and dancing to start the banquet.
Huangfu Xiu was still angry because of what happened yesterday. He ignored Shen Yuexi and continued drinking. Shen Yuexi did not mind lowering his head slightly. No one knew what he was thinking about, but Huangfu Xiu was infuriated.
"Your Highness Huangfu, drinking alone is boring. Why don't you drink with me?”Dongguo Siqi's eyes lit up when she saw Huangfu Xiu. She walked over with a gorgeous smile and a wine glass in her hand.
He glanced at Shen Yuexi and felt a sense of superiority when he saw her expression. He was certain that Huangfu Xiu must have been forced to marry Shen Yuexi, so he had come to help him out.
Huangfu Xiu was already furious. When he saw Dongguo Siqi trying to curry favor with him, he immediately glanced at Shen Yuexi. However, he realized that she was still thinking about something and did not look at him at all.
His heart was burning, and he looked at Dongguo Siqi with a playful expression,""Princess is understanding. Please sit.”
The table was a long one, and the chair was a long one. Since Huangfu Xiu had invited Dongguo Siqi to sit, Shen Yuexi naturally had to move her butt.
Shen Yuexi was speechless. She shifted her butt. Seeing this, Dongguo Siqi was even more certain that Huangfu Xiu hated Shen Yuexi. She smiled so widely that her eyes were about to explode. She apologized to Shen Yuexi and sat down.
"Your Highness, I have loved murals since I was young. I heard that you have an ancient mural here. I would like to satisfy my craving.”Zhao Jianyuan suddenly spoke.
"Naturally." Dongguo Chengxian stood up.
"I have nothing to do and want to join in the fun.”Shen Yuexi stood up immediately and looked at them with a smile. However, this smile was really unbearable to look at when paired with her ugly face.
Huangfu Xiu was stunned. Dongguo Chengxian saw his sister sitting next to Huangfu Xiu and immediately understood something. He immediately became enthusiastic."Crown Princess Consort is too polite, please." After saying that, he led the two of them into the side hall.
Shen Yuexi's gaze darkened as he looked at the mural. On the mural was a palace. In the middle of the golden hall, a dignified woman sat there with a cloud crown on her head. Beneath her, auspicious clouds floated peacefully. A few women were holding musical instruments and playing and singing, while the other women were flying and dancing like immortals. The most admirable thing was their expressions. They were full of satisfaction and joy, like a cave of immortals and gods, making people forget about home.
Beside the singing and dancing, a few figures stood tall. Their lifelike clothes made Shen Yuexi's heart beat wildly. They were the clothes of the men in black who had killed his parents!
However, without exception, they all had a totem on their bodies or instruments, which looked like a Brahmin flower covered in clouds.
"This pattern is very unique." Shen Yuexi said in a seemingly appreciative tone.
This totem was also on the Sumeru Pill. Yu Qianxing said that only a Level Nine Master Alchemist could make it!
"That's right. Every flower is drawn so vividly. I think the person who painted it back then must have had an impressive cultivation technique. Looking at the attire of these people, they seemed to be from the same tribe. Could they be from the Crown Prince's country?”
"No, this was left behind by our ancestor.”Dongguo Chengxian had a rather smug expression.
"Ancestor?"
"That's right. Our ancestor said that they were his clansmen.”
"Since you are a clansman, may I know where you are now?”
"Our ancestor once said that his clansmen were reclusive. Only he could come out by chance, but he could never go back. Back then, our ancestor came here alone to build a country, but in the end, he couldn't return to his hometown…"
Dongguo Chengxian suddenly looked sad. Presumably, this old ancestor was very concerned about returning home. Otherwise, his descendants would not be sad after so many generations.
" Your Highness the Crown Prince…" A palace servant greeted the Crown Prince.
"Sorry, excuse me." Dongguo Chengxian left apologetically.
As soon as he left, Shen Yuexi looked around and realized that no one was looking at him. Only then did he fix his gaze on Zhao Jianyuan, the Crown Prince of the State of Zhao.
"Long time no see, Chengxiang." Suddenly, her lips curved into a sly smile as she looked at the imposing Zhao Jianyuan.。
"Yes, I am. I didn't see that you had actually charmed that brainless prince.”Cheng Xiang smiled maliciously. He changed his imposing appearance from before and smiled casually.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have something serious to tell you.”Shen Yuexi's expression suddenly turned solemn.
Cheng Xiang was stunned. He quickly frowned and looked at the mural."According to what Dongguo Chengxian said, it's not clear what his ancestor's background is. However, for a single person to establish a country, this race must have a great background.”
"It's not a mural." Shen Yuexi shook his head.
"Is there anything more important than this?" Cheng Xiang was stunned. No one knew better than him how persistent and eager Shen Yuexi was to take revenge. What was more important than her taking revenge?
"You are the Crown Prince of the State of Zhao. There are some things that are very important to you.”Shen Yuexi said softly.
Cheng Xiang was stunned when he heard this." This is a serious matter. I need to explain it to my father." Yuexi, thank you." Cheng Xiang looked at Shen Yuexi seriously.
"You and I have been friends for many years. However, this matter is of great importance, so you need to be careful.”Shen Yuexi looked worried.
"I know." Cheng Xiang's eyes flickered, and he immediately turned around to bid farewell to Cheng Xian.
Shen Yuexi looked at the mural alone. The woman on the throne had a solemn look on her face, and there was an inexplicable sacred color to it. As she looked at it, she seemed to be dazzled. It was as if the woman was sizing her up with a solemn look. She couldn't help but reach out to touch her.
The moment she touched her, her heart beat two times faster. It was as if there was a thread that seeped out from the bottom of her heart and passed through the wall. A familiar feeling suddenly echoed in her heart. She was so shocked that she retracted her hand and looked at the mural in disbelief. She stood rooted to the spot.
A million miles away, in a bedchamber, a woman in multicolored robes was resting with her eyes closed. Her noble temperament reflected the luxurious and dazzling hall. It was obvious that she had a high status.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Her eyes were shining with shock."Found it!"
Shen Yuexi stared blankly at the woman in the mural. Hesitating, he reached out his hand again. This time, there was nothing unusual.
Was it just an illusion? As she thought about it, she lowered her head and saw the faces of the men in black. Their faces darkened and their eyes were filled with uncontrollable hatred. Her parents 'tragic deaths were still vivid in her mind. She subconsciously clenched her fists and took two deep breaths.
"What happened to the Crown Princess?" Dongguo Chengxian walked over. Actually, he really didn't want to walk over. After all, the Crown Princess Consort was so ugly that it was too disgusting. However, he had to greet her since she was a guest.
"I'm fine. "I wonder which clan your ancestor is from. Such an immortal-like clan member must be famous."”Shen Yuexi asked casually.
"Sorry about that. Although the old ancestor missed his clansmen, he had never mentioned anything about them. This mural was also made in his later years, but he did not have any last words.”
Dongguo Chengxian gave a specific answer mainly because he wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. He felt disgusted when he looked at Shen Yuexi's face for too long. However, anyone who saw a person with a face full of red rashes, like a group of red ants crawling all over his face, would have some psychological problems.
"Thank you for your explanation, Crown Prince.”Shen Yuexi said with a smile.
Dongguo Chengxian hurriedly turned around, waiting for this sentence!
By the time he returned to his seat, Dongguo Siqi had already left. Shen Yuexi sat down with a heavy heart.
"You still know to come back after chatting enough.”Huangfu Xiu suddenly said sourly.
Shen Yuexi had a lot on his mind, so he did not care about Huangfu Xiu's attitude. He only responded with a curt " hmm ", which made Huangfu Xiu so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him. He immediately flung his sleeves and said,""Back to the Courier Station!"# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 21PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
