Although the people were afraid of His Highness the Crown Prince, they were still curious about what he looked like. They usually only heard about him but never saw him.
One by one, they waited for Gu Xingzhou to show up.
Finally, a hand with clear joints lifted the car curtain, wearing a black narrow-sleeved python robe, with auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, a vermilion jade belt around the waist, and a white jade exquisite waist pendant hanging on it. The slender body stood straight, the wind god Handsome, noble Tsinghua University, impressive bearing.
Step by step, he stepped off the carriage and walked slowly to stand in front of Jiang Qingjiu.
"Prince Gu Xingzhou of the Qinglong Kingdom has met His Royal Highness Princess Feng Li." Gu Xingzhou returned the salute, straightened up and looked at Jiang Qingjiu with a thousand-year glance.
The same goes for ginger sake.
The crowd froze for a moment, and everyone's expressions seemed frozen.
Come to your senses.
"No one said that His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom is so good-looking." Someone murmured.
"A pair of eyes shoots up to the cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows are as thick as paint." A scholar praised.
"Yes, yes." The others agreed.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has been tired of traveling and traveling. Please go to the post house for a short rest first. If His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, needs anything, please let me know at any time." Jiang Qingjiu said while making a gesture of invitation.
"Your Highness Princess." Gu Xingzhou walked forward, but very slowly.
It wasn't until Jiang Qingjiu caught up and saw the two of them walking side by side that he was satisfied.
After Jiang Qingjiu found out, she simply walked side by side regardless of the incompatibility with etiquette. After all, she also looked forward to this.
Looking at the scene of the two people side by side, the people thought this scene was beautiful.
"Our Highness the Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince look so good together, look at it." One of the onlookers sighed.
"Yes, yes, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match." Qingshan actively echoed in the crowd.
Gu Xingzhou paused as he walked forward, the corners of his mouth raised, and his aura of keeping away from strangers became much lighter, like the ice and snow melting, spring has arrived.
"Your Highness, have we met before?" Jiang Qingjiu suddenly asked.
"Is there any?" Gu Xingzhou's eyelids twitched.
"Has Your Highness the Crown Prince ever heard of Mr. Qingzhou?"
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."
"Then does His Highness the Crown Prince like camellias?" Jiang Qingjiu asked continuously.
"What kind of flower is that? I'm sorry for my ignorance."
"I cherish the rouge alone, and the garden is full of camellias. A very beautiful flower, blooming in the cold winter, standing in the wind, undistracted, calm and elegant." Jiang Qingjiu said as if he saw the sea of camellias in Qingzhou Villa.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will take a short rest. There will be a banquet in the palace in the evening. I, Feng Li, will greet His Highness the Prince and wash away the dust. I will also ask His Highness to pay tribute to you." After a few steps, Jiang Qingjiu and Jiang Gu Xingzhou were sent to the post house and said when they parted.
"That's natural. Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Gu Xingzhou didn't expect to arrive so soon. He hoped that the road would be longer, and longer, so that time could stay at this moment.
After Jiang Qingjiu entertained the envoys, he and the queen organized a welcoming banquet.
Feng Li There is only one queen in the current emperor's harem.
The story of the deep love between the emperor and the empress has always been a good story in Fengli, making others envious.
Jiang Qingjiu also envied the relationship between his father, the emperor, and his mother, and hoped that he could find a husband like his father, and from then on there would be no doubt of love.
Jiang Qingjiu has always felt that she is very happy, and hopes that this happiness can last forever.
Time sneaks away between busyness and leisure.
At the moment of the hour, the reception feast officially begins.
Emperor Feng opened his mouth by expressing his welcome to the envoy from the Qinglong Kingdom. At this time, a sudden voice interrupted.
"Feng Li is so considerate and courteous. We only invite the Qinglong Kingdom to this reception banquet, and Her Royal Highness the Princess of your country will only receive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qinglong Kingdom. I, Nan Rong, the third prince of Nanzhao, am the host of this competition. Although Feng Li is a hostage and ill, I am in bed, but my country has not been destroyed in Nanzhao, so I, the prince, can take care of it on my behalf."
"Three Kingdoms Civil and Military Competition, Feng Li, are you and your two countries now planning to participate in the competition?" Nan Rongli entered with provocation.
All the ministers here heard that, yes, why didn’t Her Royal Highness the Princess entertain the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom?
"The princess is still angry about what the third prince Nanrong has done? But the third prince Nanrong has already received a sword from the princess for this. Why does the princess still refuse to let go?" Guo Bitong asked.
"How can a princess do whatever she wants in the face of big rights and wrongs?" Guo Bitong's little sister echoed.
"There is no distinction between right and wrong. How can the princess, who behaves like this, set an example for me, Fengli, to receive the envoys? Your Majesty, please take back your order." Guo Bitong's father, Guo Wenli, the Minister of Rites, was originally dissatisfied with the princess's monopoly on the matter of receiving the envoys. As a princess, You should be ready to get married, so what's the point of being in public all the time?
Several pedantic veterans also agreed, "Yes, as a woman, Her Royal Highness, strictly speaking, is not qualified to receive envoys on behalf of me, Fengli. I hope your Majesty will take back your order." They felt that the princess should not be involved in politics and snatched the crown prince. Your Highness's limelight.
"As His Majesty's only legitimate daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most qualified person besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you old stubborns." Qin Sangsang complained about Jiang Qingjiu.
"Sang Sang, don't be rude." The wife of General Zhenguo scolded.
"My little girl is ignorant, I hope Your Majesty won't blame her." After saying that, he forced Qin Sangsang to sit down, and Qin Sangsang sat down reluctantly.
"Qin Aiqing's legitimate daughter is indeed like her father. That's how it is. Don't be restrained. This girl is right. My Princess Qinghua of Fengli is the only legitimate princess. Of course, she is qualified to handle the reception of distinguished guests. ." Emperor Feng laughed loudly, secretly thinking that this girl still listened to what he said.
What can you do if you are scolded as a stubborn person? Your Majesty will not blame you.
I can only admit it and endure it.
After Emperor Feng said this, he no longer dared to criticize the princess.
"I think Princess Feng Li did a good job in receiving Gu. As for what you said, she didn't receive you in Nanzhao." Gu Xingzhou changed the topic and seemed to be smiling.
"Is there anything in Nanzhao that is worthy of receiving Princess Feng Li's reception?" Gu Xingzhou asked lightly, as if he was mocking Nanzhao for not overestimating his capabilities.
"You——." Nan Rongli jumped in anger.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so majestic and does not take Nanzhao seriously, is it because His Highness the Crown Prince has also fallen in love with Princess Feng Li and wants to marry her in order to gain favor?" As soon as Nan Rongli said this, everyone All was quiet.
The entire banquet hall was eerily quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
They were all waiting for Gu Xingzhou's answer.
After all, they are really curious.
"Fifth Prince Nanrong, you must be very thirsty after being here for so long and talking so much. Come, serve tea." Jiang Qingjiu didn't care much about all the slander, but couldn't bear others to make things difficult because of her.
Especially when this person spoke for her.
Nan Rongli snickered, it doesn't matter that she is the direct princess of Feng Li, she still has to entertain me and serve me tea.
Having said that, it seems that I am indeed a little thirsty.
He took the tea from the maid and took a sip without thinking.
"puff."
Nan Rongli vomited it all out in one gulp regardless of image.
"Is it salty?" Jiang Qingjiu asked in a normal tone.
"Salty, salty to death." Nan Rongshi blurted out without thinking.
"Since the Fifth Prince of Nanrong knows that he is extremely idle, he still meddles in 'idle' matters so much." Jiang Qingjiu deliberately emphasized the word 'idle', which made everyone laugh.
