Liu Zixi’s carriage had not yet arrived, and the carter had already reported the situation outside to her.
And she also guessed it at first glance. The woman who was at his father’s side must be the envoy of the Nanyue Dynasty, who Qi Liange went to meet today, and she was also the woman who had left a keen interest in Qi Liange’s heart in the Chengxi Dynasty!
She could not see the 5th Princess’s beautiful face in the Chengxi Dynasty until Liu Muwei took her to approach.
She was the woman? Was this woman the one who had won Qi Liange’s favor? She got the favor which for her was still delusional after so many years of hard work?
Her thin and slim fingers in the sleeves were tightly grasped, but her face was still gentle and soft.
It made people see no flaw.
Jun Yeyan gave Liu Zixi a sideways glance with an immobile look. His handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but it was only a matter of a moment, and people could not catch it at all.
“Friends coming from afar refresh our Nanyue Dynasty. I hope that the 5th prince and the princess will forgive me for not receiving you far away.” Liu Zixi pursed her lips with a gentle smile and said politely and humbly.
Jun Yeyan looked at a woman like this and sniffed at her in his heart. How could such a pretentious woman be compared with his Xue?
Qi Liange, Qi Liange… Anyway, you were doomed to lose to me in any aspect.
“Crown Princess, you are too kind. I have heard that you have gained a world reputation and are a rare and peerless woman. It is really true when I see you today.” Jun Yeyan also said humbly.
Dealing with others courteously but without sincerity was something everyone could do when they were born in a royal family.
Hearing the words, Liu Zixi felt proud in her mind but did not show it. She still said neither conceitedly nor rashly, “It’s just a folk rumor that makes the 5th prince laugh at me. Compared with the 5th princess, I, the crown princess, also feel a little inferior.”
Bai Aoxue listened to Liu Zixi’s words and wrinkled her dark-black eyebrows gently. She did not understand what this woman meant and why she wanted to involve her in the matter.
“Crown Princess, you are so kind, but my princess is really the only one. In the eyes of me, no one can match her.” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue nearby and proudly raised the corners of his mouth, but what he said shocked everyone.
After listening to Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue smiled with the corners of her mouth upward, and she had some sweet feelings in her heart.
While Liu Zixi and Liu Muwei, hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, directly froze the smiles at the corners of their mouth. They looked at Jun Yeyan incredibly.
Liu Muwei’s eyes were filled with more inconceivable feelings, but there was some anger in Liu Zixi’s eyes.
Beyond their expectation, the 5th prince in the Chengxi Dynasty was so unabashed. It was normal to just hear these flattering words, but he even took them seriously and took the opportunity to say these unabashed words!
Wasn’t this to let Liu Zixi lose her own face?
Liu Zixi was already furious in her mind when thinking of this.
Seeing Liu Zixi’s anger, Liu Muwei also knew that her daughter had always been proud of herself and had never suffered a loss, and no one was so unappreciative.
She was naturally frustrated in her mind, and her anger, of course, was self-evident.
“Ha-ha… I have heard that the 5th prince and the princess have a very good relationship, and now it seems that it is true indeed. I really envy you.” Liu Muwei was the first to speak, with some admiration in his words.
Jun Yeyan listened to Liu Muwei’s words. His thin lips slightly raised, and he said lightly, “Prime Minister Liu, you are really flattering me. Of course, I do not need to say too much about my relationship with the princess. She is the only one in my heart. ”
Some women on the side heard Jun Yeyan say this, and their hearts were filled with admiration for Bai Aoxue. They looked at Bai Aoxue with some admiration as well.
However, there was not much jealousy. After all, they had all heard of Jun Yeyan’s appearance.
He was as ugly as ghosts. Bai Aoxue, such a woman, could marry him, and how could he not cherish her? Whether it was out of sincere love or gratitude, many women still envied such feelings.
After all, in such an era, women had no status at all. It was not unusual for men to have three wives and four concubines. However, nobles like Jun Yeyan, regardless of their appearances, were also some outstanding men for many women to compete for.
After all, as long as they followed Jun Yeyan, they would not be worried about food or clothing. However, Jun Yeyan did not use his own identity to take concubines recklessly. Bai Aoxue was the only one around him.
How could this not be envied by others?
Bai Aoxue certainly felt the envious eyes around her, but there was no change on her face, which was still cold, beautiful, and noble.
Liu Zixi looked at Jun Yeyan who was so shameless, and she was angry but helpless in her mind.
She should never offend Jun Yeyan. After all, Jun Yeyan was the prince of the Chengxi Dynasty. Although she was the crown princess, Qi Liange did not care about her at all. If she made a mistake this time, Qi Liange could still use this as an excuse to divorce her!
Originally, the marriage between Qi Liange and her resulted from the fact that she begged her father to go for the emperor and to implore. Only they knew how many unknown tricks were involved in this.
But this did not mean that she could use her current status to make mistakes without fear.
On the contrary, she must be careful in every step, not to make a mistake and not to let Qi Liange have a chance to divorce her!
However, she also understood her father’s good intentions. Thinking of this, Liu Zixi took a deep breath and looked at Bai Aoxue only with envy.
“Ha-ha… The relationship between the 5th prince and the princess really makes me, the crown princess, envy. My queen mother has something to call for me, so I should leave first.” Liu Zixi looked at Jun Yeyan and slowly said.
Jun Yeyan saw this and knew Liu Zixi’s thoughts in her mind. He said lightly, “Crown Princess, in this case, please pay respects to the empress on behalf of me and my princess.”
Liu Zixi responded lightly. She turned to look at Liu Muwei and said, “Father, I will go first. You need to treat the 5th prince and the princess well.”
Liu Muwei answered, looking at her daughter who was calmer and steadier and sighing deeply with emotion in his heart.
He didn’t expect that his daughter who was once pampered became so mature after marrying Qi Liange. And she was able to see the situation clearly and know what to do.
This really pleased him very much.
After Liu Zixi left, Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue did not stay, either. Under Liu Muwei’s guidance, they entered the Imperial Palace of the Nanyue Dynasty.
While Liu Zixi, who left here, directly went to the empress’s palace in a familiar way and felt very indignant in her mind.
Looking at the cold and beautiful appearance of Bai Aoxue, her heart was already very jealous. Although she was quite confident about her appearance, she felt that she was simply inferior, compared with a woman like Bai Aoxue.
She didn’t know why she always felt that Bai Aoxue always gave people a sense of superiority, which was not deliberate, but she carried such a momentum by nature.
Although her father had asked the manservant to send a message to her today, telling her that Bai Aoxue made a big difference to Qi Liange, she was naturally furious in her mind when she heard of it, but she was more unwilling.
Qi Liange had never said that he would go to the Beiyang Mountain with her to watch peach blossoms.
Even though she invited him several times, Qi Liange mostly turned a deaf ear.
After seeing Bai Aoxue, all her reluctance turned to jealousy. She would never admit that she would lose to this woman!
How could such a woman as cold as the snow win Qi Liange’s heart?
She would like to discuss this with the empress at this moment. As long as the empress stood by her side, Qi Liange would not rebuke her no matter what she did.
After all, the empress was Qi Liange’s queen mother!
Liu Zixi couldn’t help quickening her pace while thinking of this.
Entering the Imperial Palace of the Nanyue Dynasty, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan looked around with an indifferent look all the way. They turned a deaf ear to most of the comments they heard all the way.
“The emissaries of the Chengxi Dynasty are here!” The shrill voice of the junior eunuch spread in the noisy banquet hall.
Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan, in the eyes of all the people, slowly stepped into the banquet hall hand in hand calmly and indifferently as if they were as glorious as the sun and the moon.
Those who looked at such a scene were all shocked involuntarily.
These two people with such a similar momentum had the extraordinary power of deterrence!
With the arrival of Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan, the number of people who came to talk gradually increased, but most people who intended to talk with Bai Aoxue were rejected by Bai Aoxue with her indifferent eyes.
No one dared to come forward to communicate with Bai Aoxue, but Jun Yeyan was much busier.
Looking at Bai Aoxue, who was at leisure on the side, Jun Yeyan’s heart was full of complaints. When they arrived, they had already discussed it. This time, Jun Yeyan talked more, while Bai Aoxue only needed to keep reserved on the side.
In this way, many unnecessary troubles could be avoided, and Bai Aoxue really didn’t want to communicate with these people. Such a scheme also met her wish.
“The crown prince arrives!”
“Princess Muyuan arrives!”
With the arrival of Qi Liange and Qi Muyuan, the originally lively banquet hall became more active.
As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, Qi Liange saw the figure that he had been obsessed with in his mind. The joy in his eyes was undisguised, and he didn’t care much about being seen by those who set their hearts on it.
While Qi Muyuan saw Bai Aoxue and ran towards Bai Aoxue with excitement, totally losing the elegance of a princess.
“Aoxue!”
Bai Aoxue turned her head and saw the happy face of Qi Muyuan. She couldn’t help but smile lightly. Although the smile was very unobvious and could hardly be seen, it still made the people who were present and observed Bai Aoxue obsessed in their hearts.
What a smile this was! It was just like the eternally holy and noble snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, and it was more like a lotus that grew out of silt but was not imbrued, with the warmth and clarity of melting the ice and snow.
It was dazzling and shimmering but unassuming.
“We finally met each other!” Qi Muyuan came to the side of Bai Aoxue and looked at Bai Aoxue, saying happily.
If it was the right time, she would want to give Bai Aoxue a bearhug.
Bai Aoxue nodded gently and said lightly, “Were you scolded when you came back?”
Qi Muyuan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and was forestalled by Qi Liange when she just wanted to answer.
“The scolding is light. If I hadn’t covered for her, she would be still in the room for repentance now.” Qi Liange followed Qi Muyuan to the side of Bai Aoxue and said lightly.
On hearing Qi Liange say so, Qi Muyuan pouted slightly and said, “Brother, you are too much! How could you say that?”
Hearing this, Bai Aoxue smiled, but she did not say a word.
The feelings between the brother and the sister were really very good. Unlike those of royal brothers and sisters with precaution, they were very warm and sweet.
And Bai Aoxue also highly praised Qi Liange’s way of treating Qi Muyuan like this. After all, it was rare and even more precious to maintain a clean heart in the center of the whirlpool of power and interest.
It was even much rarer in a royal family to have such a feeling as that between the brother and the sister in a normal family.
Qi Liange wanted to speak but heard a disturbance.
“Here they come! Here they come!”
