"I discussed this issue with Yun Chen just now. There are not many princes who are not yet married, and there are not many heirs who are of the right age to get married.
What's more, considering all the conditions, it may be difficult to find someone who can attract the attention of the dignified Princess Yunxuan."
Ye Fuxun suddenly remembered that at the banquet before, she accidentally saw Yu Yunxuan looking at Xiao Yunchen several times. Although she could not see her expression, judging from her eyes, she had admiration for Xiao Yunchen.
feeling.
Her heart suddenly sank. Could it be that the person Yu Yunxuan fell in love with was Xiao Yunchen? You know, Xiao Yunchen is the one who will inherit the throne in the future. How can he marry a foreign woman? Wouldn't that be the same as Xiao Yunchen?
Is Bai Yuxian the same?
If Yu Yunxuan insists on marrying Xiao Yunchen, how should she refuse?
Ye Fuxun glanced at Bai Yuxian, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to tell him his guess for the time being.
In the next few days after this day, Yu Yunxuan stayed in the post house and did not go out, while Yu Xiunan traveled east and west, visiting the entire capital.
He is like a person who came all the way to Dongchen for fun. He doesn't seem to care about the peace talks at all. No one can guess his thoughts, not even Yu Yunxuan, who is usually close to him.
What's going on in his mind.
Finally, after a few days, Yu Xiunan stopped visiting the capital and took advantage of Xiu Mu's day to come to the Regent's Palace, and brought someone with him, Yu Yunxuan.
"The presence of the second prince and the third princess really makes my palace shine!" Xiao Yunchen received the guests with a smile, and welcomed Yu Xiunan and Yu Yunxuan into the hall, "Here comes someone.
, look at the tea!”
Yu Xiunan sat down and said kindly: "I have been in the capital for so many days and have been troubled a lot. We have been warmly received by your country. I am really grateful. I just thought that I should come and express my gratitude to the regent in person."
Xiao Yunchen smiled back and said: "What are you talking about, second prince? You are honored guests of our Dongchen Kingdom. Coming all the way to Dongchen means that your country regards our country as a friend. I am afraid that
The hospitality is not attentive enough, how can it be a disturbance?"
As he said that, he rolled his eyes and looked at Yu Yunxuan, who was sitting silently aside. She was wearing the clothes that Dongchen women usually wear today, and her hair was combed to imitate Dongchen women.
Her black hair spreads across her back, looking gentle and pleasant, but she is still covered with a veil.
"Have you gotten used to living in the post house these days, Third Princess?"
Yu Yunxuan nodded and said in a soft voice: "The maids take care of everything, so there is nothing I am not used to.
However, it may be that I have never left the Western Kingdom and suddenly came to Dongchen, so I am a little unaccustomed to the local environment and have been feeling a little unwell these past few days. Therefore, it is a pity that I have not gone out to see the scenery of Dongchen."
Xiao Yunchen showed a caring look and asked: "Oh? The third princess is not feeling well? Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look?"
"I've seen it, I'm much better today." Yu Yunxuan nodded, her eyelids always drooped. Maybe it was because of her guilty conscience that she didn't dare to look at Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunchen smiled: "Then I, the king, can rest assured. Princess, you don't have to regret it. It will be the same when you recover from your illness and visit the capital again.
By the way, Princess Chen and the princess are sisters. If you want to travel, you can ask her to be your guide, and you sisters can also have a good time together."
Yu Yunxuan smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is right." She originally planned to go to Yu Siling these days, but Yu Xiunanfei said that she couldn't go to see her for the time being, otherwise it would arouse suspicion, so she went I had no choice but to stay in the post house.
After that, Xiao Yunchen kept talking to Yu Xiunan and did not take the initiative to talk to Yu Yunxuan again.
Occasionally, Yu Xiunan deliberately brought the topic to Yu Yunxuan, and he only spoke a few brief words to her. He never showed the slightest interest in her, and could even be said to be a bit cold.
This made Yu Yunxuan feel inexplicably lost.
Most of the topics Xiao Yunchen and Yu Xiunan chatted around were the customs, climate, scenery, etc. of the two countries, without any mention of national events.
This was the result of Xiao Yunchen's intention to avoid suspicion. Major matters between the two countries should be discussed in the court with the ministers. It would be extremely inappropriate to mention it in private.
However, no matter how Xiao Yunchen avoided it, he could not resist Yu Xiunan's deliberate behavior. Finally, he still talked about the peace talks between the two countries.
"Your Majesty, in fact, we came to Dongchen for peace talks this time with the best intention of forming a permanent alliance with your country. Our monarch hopes to reach an agreement with Dongchen to avoid riots at the border from time to time like in recent years.
This is related to the interests of both countries and must be discussed carefully..."
Xiao Yunchen quickly interrupted him: "Second Prince, I finally have a day of rest today, and I really don't want to discuss these wasteful things.
Regarding the peace talks, let’s go to the main hall another day and discuss it with your envoys and our officials.”
Now that Xiao Yunchen said so, Yu Xiunan couldn't continue talking about this topic, so she had to change the topic with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yunchen also wanted to see Yu Xiunan in his heart, but after all, he was still the prince of the Western Kingdom, and he was here for peace talks, so he couldn't treat him coldly, so he had to endure it secretly and use all his patience to entertain him.
Finally, after lunch, we successfully sent the two of them away.
He stood at the door, looked at the carriage going away, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and couldn't help but sigh.
Envoys and courtiers are meant to avoid suspicion, and it is usually not easy to meet in private. However, Yu Xiunan insisted on visiting in private, and even brought her beautiful little sister with her. This was obviously intentional.
I am afraid that in less than two hours, the news that the second prince and third princess of the Western Kingdom visited the regent's palace will spread throughout the capital, arousing heated discussions among ministers and people.
Sure enough, now that he is in a high position, he has more troubles. It is no longer possible for him to be as carefree and comfortable as before.
Yu Yunxuan was not a taciturn person originally, but today because she was very worried, she hardly spoke. She sat aside the whole time, lowering her head and thinking about her own things.
This made Yu Xiunan, who specially brought her to see Xiao Yunchen, quite unhappy.
"Xuan'er, you are usually eloquent when you open your mouth, but you can't stop talking. Why did you become mute in front of the regent today?"
Yu Yunxuan frowned and said remorsefully: "I'm sorry, second brother, I'm not in a good mood today, so I always lose my mind. I won't do it again in the future."
Yu Xiunan shook his head and sighed, and said: "Second brother is not blaming you, I just want to remind you to cheer up and don't forget that you are here with a mission. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you can't let your father and Concubine Yun disappointment."
These words were like enlightenment, which suddenly woke up Yu Yunxuan. Yes, she came to Dongchen with a mission and a mission. She still had important things to do. How could she miss important things because of her children's affair? ?
