Chapter Twenty-Five: Appointment
"It seems that His Highness the Third Prince really spent all his money just to invite his cousin to swim in the lake."
Chu Wanxiang glanced at the boat, turned around, and teased Gu Lingyi.
"Wan Xiang, don't make fun of me, I'm in a panic now."
Gu Lingyi had heard about the virtues of the third prince Chu Yan when he was at the border, and heard that he was an extremely difficult master.
If it weren't for Chu Wanxiang's company today, she would never dare to go to the appointment by herself.
"Don't panic, I'm here."
He gently patted the back of Gu Lingyi's hand as a way of cheering her up.
"Princess Minghuang, Miss Gu, please come this way."
A pretty girl got off the boat, wearing a lake green double-breasted top and skirt, looking quite lively.
The girl looked at the two of them and led them onto the boat.
"Fourth brother, what are we here for?"
On the stone bridge not far from the ship, Chu Mohan stood at the end of the dark blue bridge, holding a folding fan in his hand. His tall figure and handsome face had attracted the envious eyes of the girls around him. However, Chu Mohan
Mo Han selectively blocked all this, and just raised the corner of his mouth slightly to look at the pretty figure on the boat.
Today Chu Wanxiang is wearing a light blue dress.
In order to keep warm, she specially cut off a crescent-shaped white robe. Her originally fair skin, against the color of the clothes, became whiter and whiter, like snow.
Coupled with the cold aura exuding from her body, it made her even more energetic.
Chu Mohan looked a little confused. In the past, Chu Wanxiang had always been a handsome little tail with a temperament like a stone. He didn't know how to change it. His impression of her just stayed at her.
Extraordinary appearance on the surface. I never thought I would be with her.
But in just a few days, this girl seemed to have grown up overnight. She was no longer obsessed with Jun Li, and her temperament became as calm as water, no, like an ancient well, unfathomable.
This change made Chu Mohan extremely curious. He once asked the subordinates of Linglong Pavilion to investigate what happened to Chu Wanxiang to make such a change. However, except for that time when he fell into the water, he found nothing.
Can an accident completely change a person?
Is there such a thing in the world?
"Fourth brother." Seeing that fourth brother didn't answer his question for a long time, Xiaoyun raised his voice again.
"Let's see how Minghuang deals with the third brother." Chu Mohan replied.
I am really watching Princess Minghuang deal with the third brother. I believe you are not worried.
Xiaoyun secretly smiled. Ever since he heard what Feng Lou said last time, the fourth brother has been sending people to observe Feng Mingyi. Sometimes he even watched Feng Mingyi for a whole day without feeling tired. He often secretly inquired about Chu Ce's news.
Ask about Chu Wanxiang’s past.
Looking at him, the fourth brother was shocked.
"Miss Gu, Princess Minghuang, welcome!"
Walking into the cabin, it was filled with beautiful things. The decoration outside the ship was already very gorgeous, but it pales in comparison to the splendor inside the cabin.
Furniture made of sandalwood, chair armrests inlaid with gold and jade, and two antique vases on each side.
All of them reflect the luxury and high profile of the shipyard owner.
In the front seat, wearing Chu Yan's purple clothes, he was looking over with his chin propped up, looking at the two of them up and down, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
There is a bit of evil charm in her elegant temperament, and her pupils are as deep as a whirlpool in the deep sea. If you take a second look, it seems that you are about to be involved in it.
"Your Highness." The two women bent their knees slightly, put their hands on their hips, and exchanged greetings and blessings.
Compared with Chu Wanxiang's natural expression and dignified demeanor, Gu Lingyi's head drooped slightly, showing a bit of fear.
"You two are distinguished guests, so you don't have to be so polite. Come and sit down."
Chu Yan raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up, then pointed to the seat next to him and told them to sit down.
His target today was Gu Lingyi, but as soon as the two came in, his eyes were involuntarily attracted to Chu Wanxiang.
"Princess Minghuang, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. After the plum blossom banquet that day, my stepmother and concubine summoned me. Why did you pretend to be sick to excuse yourself?"
A calm word, but like thunder falling into water, causing ripples.
Chu Yan's words were like stones dropped into water, causing thousands of waves.
Jun Xin was slightly shocked that Chu Wanxiang had done such a bold thing.
Gu Lingyi's hand was immediately held tighter. Could it be that the third prince invited them here today to sue the division commander?
The atmosphere on the court suddenly dropped to freezing point. Except for Chu Yan and Chu Wanxiang, who looked calm, no one else dared to take a breath.
The servants on the ship are all from Prince Duan's house. Who doesn't know that his master is always unpredictable. If you are not careful, disaster will fall from the sky. Especially in this suffocating atmosphere, we must
Be careful what you say and do.
"His Royal Highness Prince Duan has misunderstood. No matter how brave Emperor Ming is, he will not dare to shirk the imperial concubine's invitation."
Chu Wanxiang smiled slightly, raised his head calmly, and met Chu Yan's bottomless gaze.
These pupils are really deep and scary.
No wonder when Jun immediately came to the throne, every time he mentioned Chu Yan, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
After all, some fears are deep in the bone marrow. Even if a person loses his soul, once he thinks about it, it will still stir up memories that cannot be erased from his bones.
"Oh. So, Princess Minghuang, can you explain why you didn't go directly back to Nanyuan or the medical center after leaving the palace, but went to a restaurant instead?"
Chu Yan picked up the wine glass next to him, and then asked his men to bring a glass to Chu Wanxiang and the two of them.
"Master Duan doesn't know. It's been a year since Minghuang came to Yujing. During this year, I missed the food from my hometown very much. I searched all over Yujing and finally found a restaurant that suits my taste. That day Minghuang's
After the dance performance, the whiplash on his body became more and more severe. When he was in pain, he would want the taste of his hometown to comfort himself, so he went to that house."
At that time, in order to deceive others, when she came out of the restaurant, she specifically asked Tian Qing to pack two Nanzhao-style delicacies.
Chu Yan smiled slightly after hearing this. The spies reported that she brought two portions of food with her before leaving, which was consistent with what she said. It seemed that I really cared too much.
"So that's what happened. It seems that the king has thought too much." The temptation in the smile disappeared, and the atmosphere in the cabin also recovered a lot.
Chu Yan raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, and looked at the wine glass in front of Chu Wanxiang.
Noticing his gaze, Chu Wanxiang smiled, picked up the wine glass, raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, she turned the wine glass over and showed Chu Yan that there was not a drop of wine left in the glass.
