Chapter 655 Marriage (1)
October, Suzaku Empire, Dragon City...
At some point in the center of the city, this is a very imposing building complex, with a momentum of comparable to that of the palace. Hey, it seems that this is somewhere in the palace.
"Longji, how are your aunt and uncle living?"
A noble lady looked at a girl and asked, with concern in her eyes that people could easily feel. From this we can see that she cared about the person she asked.
In this palace, there seems to be only one girl who can call Longji, that is Princess Longji. There are only a few people who can call Princess Longji's name like this, and this noble lady is one of the empress dowagers.
"They are all very good, but there are a lot of social engagements... You also know that even if their identities do not have the relationship with us, they will be the focus of everyone." Princess Longji replied.
Princess Longji already has her own territory, so she has her own house in Longcheng, and this time Ye Chengtian and others live in her house.
This is called a reciprocity exchange. In the past, Princess Longji lived in Ye's house when she went to Xiangkong Imperial City. Now that they are here, they naturally live in Princess Longji's place.
In fact, this was also to refuse the invitation from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager had asked them to live in the palace of Zhuque, but Ye Chengtian and his wife thought it seemed a bit inappropriate, so they refused.
Originally, they would find a place by themselves, but they had never thought about Princess Longji. Princess Longji also arrived in Longcheng at that time, so they naturally invited them to her house.
In response, Ye Chengtian and his wife couldn't refuse anything, so they agreed.
They had met the Empress Dowager and Emperor Suzaku on the first day, but they had never seen him yet. Therefore, if the Empress Dowager wanted to know, she could only ask Princess Longji.
"Social engagements are inevitable. They are not ordinary people..." The Empress Dowager smiled. She had already expected this matter.
In fact, at this time, almost everyone in the Ye family wanted to win over. With their neutral attitude and Ye Lang's magical place, everyone wanted to get close to the Ye family.
Even if we cannot win over the Ye family and join us, we must at least have a good friendly relationship. But generally speaking, the Ye family did not give everyone such an opportunity in Yecheng. Now that we are here, these officials and nobles of the Suzaku Empire will of course take the opportunity to invite them.
Moreover, these people also know about Long Anqi's identity, so they naturally have to show their friendly attitude more.
In the past, they might have to consider the attitudes of the Empress Dowager and others. After all, not many people can figure out the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Long Anqi, and they will be worried.
Although everyone still doesn't know what's going on now, one thing is certain is that the Empress Dowager intends to interact with Long Anqi. If she wants to have a good relationship, they naturally have to add some icing on the cake.
However, even if the Empress Dowager has any dissatisfaction and does not like Long Anqi, there will still be many people who will show goodwill to Long Anqi in secret or directly. After all, the power in Ye Chengtian's hands now dominates the side.
"But it's Auntie and the others who are busy. Lan Yu and Yazhu are very relaxed and are playing around." Princess Longji replied with a smile.
"I didn't say that now, it should be time to change my words and call me aunt, why do I still call me aunt!" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, as if she was a little unhappy.
"Ah... I'm used to it for a moment..." Princess Longji played with her little tongue, looking like a little girl. This was her rare expression, but in front of her grandmother, this was also a normal expression.
Regarding Princess Longji's previous title, it actually meant Long Anqi. She didn't want to be called an aunt by Princess Longji. In addition to minimizing the chance of being noticed, there is another very important reason, that is, Long Anqi also doesn't want to admit that Princess Longji is her niece, which means she doesn't want to admit the relationship between the Suzaku Empire.
The name Auntie is often available, maybe it is just a polite title, and even the relationship does not need to be explained.
"Are Lan Yu and the others interested in coming here to play?" the Empress Dowager asked lightly.
"This, they don't seem to like the palace very much. It's not that they don't like it here, but that they don't like all the palaces very much. Maybe it's because of that matter." Princess Longji shook her head and said thoughtfully.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, and she knew in her heart what Princess Longji was talking about.
Isn't that incident just Zhao Yarou seized the throne? I believe that the psychological blow that time would not be resolved so easily, leaving the Seventh Princess with a bad impact.
The Empress Dowager didn't seem to know that the Seventh Princess didn't like the palace, not just because of this. She didn't like the places of power disputes. She has never liked the palace since she was a child. It was just because of her background that she had to live in it.
Zhao Yarou's incident completely broke her from a place like the palace, which is also a good thing in some ways!!
"Since they don't like it, don't force it! But I can go there myself." The Empress Dowager smiled. She was not the kind of person who came according to the rules, especially what she wanted.
"Well, you can go by yourself. Aunt and the others have no intention of coming." Princess Longji nodded. She also knew the Empress Dowager's actions. More importantly, Ye Lang had been in her house for a while. The Empress Dowager did not go every day, and this was the lesson of the past.
"I'll go with you later! By the way, what are you doing here today? Don't say that you are paying homage to us, you won't be so filial." The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Longji and asked teasingly.
She wouldn't think that Princess Longji came here so early to pay her respects. She must have had something else. If she was really so filial, she wouldn't have been here for so long, and she wouldn't have been there once every so long.
Of course, the Empress Dowager also knew what Princess Longji was busy with, and also helped her accompany Long Anqi and others.
"No, I'm very filial..." Princess Longji said with a little reluctance, holding her mouth up.
"Tell me, what are you here to do? I won't say anything about you." The Empress Dowager looked at Long Ji and smiled. Her fascinated eyes had a different sense of doting.
"It was my father who asked me to come over and said that there was a princess in the Ella Empire who came over and asked me to come over and greet me, saying that my identity was appropriate." Princess Longji said.
"Your identity is suitable? You are not the only princess in the palace. Your identity is a little special. Could it be that the princess who came to the Aila Empire this time came to pay their birthday and go through a formality?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly.
