Chapter 5: The Prince Appears

"It's a pity that the prince is ill and cannot attend the banquet today. Otherwise, the prince would be very happy to see Princess Wanyang. Such stunning beauty is really hard to find in the world." Luo Xuanran praised openly, but secretly disparaged Lian Zhi for having only one face. But today

The prince was even sick at the reception banquet arranged for her. Luo Xuanran was telling her that the prince was not happy with her.

Lian Zhi was not angry: "In the early years, I heard that the folk customs of Western Chu and Eastern Xia were different, but I never thought that the etiquette in the palace was also very different from that of Eastern Xia."

"What do you mean by this?" Luo Xuanran asked subconsciously.

"Dongxia is just a small barbarian country, and we in Western Chu are naturally different from you." Before Lian Zhi could speak, Wen Miqing had already spoken, without putting Dongxia in his eyes at all.

Lian Zhi still smiled, as if he had no temper: "In Eastern Xia, although we value a woman's appearance, we pay more attention to her character. I never thought that when I came to Xi Chu, I would put appearance first. Wan Yang just heard that the Queen

I was still feeling happy when I said that. Fortunately, I can still see through my appearance, otherwise, wouldn’t it be that I would have to go back as soon as I entered Xichu?”

The entire Palace of Eternal Life fell into an eerie silence. No one dared to talk to Luo Xuanran like this. Lian Zhi seemed not to notice anything unusual among the crowd: "Since the Queen has praised me so much, I have to praise the Queen for her seriousness."

She has a beautiful appearance. After all, according to the etiquette of the Western Chu Dynasty, the Queen must have an unparalleled appearance."

"How outrageous!" the man sitting opposite Lian Zhi said, "You are also a princess of a country, how can you say such indecent words in front of a whole palace?"

Lian Zhi was calm and said: "I first came to Xi Chu and I didn't understand the customs here, but when the queen and the princess met me for the first time, they kept praising my appearance. I guess the whole of Xi Chu values ​​appearance, so naturally I have to follow the local customs!"

"You..." The man didn't know what to say. Wen Xize frowned: "Know what you say and don't be unreasonable."

Lian Zhi immediately knew his identity. The eldest prince of Western Chu, Wen Zhiyan, was the son of Luo Xuanran. So the person sitting next to Wen Zhiyan should be the second prince, Wen Zhiyu, and across from the two of them was Wen Mi.

The person sitting in Qing Dynasty is the fifth prince Wen Zhilan, and the woman sitting next to the fifth prince should be the sixth princess Wen Yunxi.

Wen Xize's sons must have inherited his appearance, and all of them are well-groomed. In Lian Zhi's opinion, Wen Zhiyan is the most similar to Wen Xize, and even their elegant auras are somewhat similar.

Wen Zhiyu looked a little gloomy, while Wen Zhilan looked a bit free and easy. Wen Yunxi is Wen Xize's youngest daughter. She is indeed not as beautiful as Wen Miqing, but she makes people feel friendly when she looks at her.

joy.

After being scolded by Wen Xize, Wen Zhiyan picked up the wine glass in front of him and apologized to Lian Zhi: "I was the one who was rude."

Lian Zhi picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp: "It doesn't matter."

"I see that Princess Wanyang is not very familiar with the etiquette of Xi Chu, so she should familiarize herself with the etiquette before entering the East Palace. You should know what to say and what not to say!" Wen Xize stopped the lotus in Wen Zhi with one sentence.

Yuan's wedding has been postponed indefinitely, but Lian Zhi is quite satisfied with it, and she doesn't really want to marry Wen Zhiyuan.

Luo Xuanran spoke up again: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Wanyang is now living in the post house. Although she won't be short-changed, I'm afraid I won't learn any etiquette in this way. It's better to give Princess Wanyang a place in the palace.

How about arranging accommodation?"

Wen Xize was noncommittal, but Wen Miqing saw this and said, "There is a side palace at Erchen's place, why not let Princess Wanyang accompany Erchen."

"There is also a side palace in my palace. Does Princess Wanyang want to live here in my palace or with the fourth princess?" Luo Xuanran seemed to let Lian Zhi make his own choice, but what's the point of this choice?

Woolen cloth?

Lian Zhi laughed in her heart. Luo Xuanran and Wen Miqing wanted to take this opportunity to tease her. Do they really think she has no temper?

"I have seen Xi Chu's hospitality today." From the moment she entered the Palace of Eternal Life, Lian Zhi faced many difficulties alone, but she always returned the favor with a twist. Unexpectedly, she revealed her face at this moment.

He said sharply, "It is said that Dongxia is not as good as Xichu, but I have never lived in a side hall in Dongxia. I didn't expect that when I came to Xichu, I would have an eye-opener. Regardless of whether I am still a native of Xichu."

Princess, even if the identity of the future Crown Princess of Western Chu is placed here, I wonder which side palace does the Queen think is suitable for me?"

When he said the last sentence, Lian Zhi's tone was already somewhat solemn.

Everyone present today will never forget the scene in front of them. Everyone knows that Dongxia sent Princess Zhenguo here for marriage because she couldn't defeat Xichu, but from the moment she came in, she never showed any signs of weakness.

Soft shoulders maintained Dongxia's dignity.

At this moment, there was no smile on Lian Zhi's face. Instead, she was looking at Luo Xuanran very seriously. Luo Xuanran was somewhat helpless under such a gaze. Even though she was usually bright-tongued, Lianhua couldn't say anything at this moment.

In one sentence.

Wen Xize's original intention was to give Lian Zhi a blow, so he allowed Luo Xuanran to embarrass her, but now it seems that this Dongxia princess is not simple. Wen Xize wanted to say something to make Lian Zhi take a step back, but the palace servants shouted

He shouted: "The prince is here!"

Wen Zhiyuan and his party calmly walked out of the Palace of Eternal Life, and he directly went to greet Wen Xize: "My son, I have met my father and the queen, and I have met my mother."

"Isn't the prince feeling ill? I thought you wouldn't come today!" Luo Xuanran said.

"Since you are here, please sit down first." Wen Xize waved his hand and motioned for Wen Zhiyuan to sit down.

Wen Zhiyuan and Lian Zhi's seats are adjacent to each other, but Wen Zhiyuan did not sit down first: "Father, I just noticed outside that the Changsheng Palace is exceptionally quiet today, which is a bit strange."

Wen Xize glanced at Lian Zhi, who was sitting firmly: "Sitting there is Lin Wanyang, the princess of Dongxia, who is also your future crown princess. Just now, the queen was discussing where to let Princess Wanyang live. What happened

There were some disputes.”

Wen Zhiyuan saluted Wen Xize again: "Father, I think that Princess Wanyang has traveled thousands of miles to come to get married, so naturally we can't neglect it. Do we need to bring even a small matter like residence to the table for discussion?"

After saying that, he added, "If the Queen Mother can't find a suitable place, we can also arrange for Princess Wanyang to stay in the East Palace temporarily. Anyway, she will take over the East Palace sooner or later."

Wen Xize looked at Wen Zhiyuan, wondering what he was thinking. Everyone else was also looking at Wen Zhiyuan, Lian Zhi and Wen Xize. Unexpectedly, the prince also waded into this muddy water.

"The prince is really good at mischief. It might be inappropriate for Princess Wanyang and you to live in the East Palace before we are married. I remember that the Yuyang Palace is still vacant, so let's go to the Yuyang Palace." Wen Xize decided on the Yuyang Palace, and Wen Miqing

She was dissatisfied immediately. She liked Yuyang Palace very much. She had thought about begging her father to move there in a few days, but she didn't expect that Lian Zhi stopped going in.

Wen Zhiyu pulled Wen Miqing's sleeve to signal her not to act rashly, but Wen Miqing could only suppress her dissatisfaction.

"Then I will thank my father on behalf of Princess Wanyang." Wen Zhiyuan said and sat down.

In fact, Lian Zhi was a little confused when Wen Zhiyuan appeared. Wen Zhiyuan actually looked exactly the same as Meng Ling. Perhaps it should be said that Meng Ling was Wen Zhiyuan. She originally thought that she and Meng Ling might be together.

There was no chance to meet again, but she didn't expect that she would meet Meng Ling again soon after arriving in Xichu, and Meng Ling would transform into Wen Zhiyuan, the prince of Xichu.

He would be lying if he said he wasn't angry, so Lian Zhi deliberately didn't look at Wen Zhiyuan.

As soon as Wen Zhiyuan sat down, Wen Zhiyu raised his glass of wine towards him: "Third brother, I thought you wouldn't show up today. I guess you only made this trip for Princess Wanyang, right? I'm the second best.

Brother, congratulations on marrying a beautiful woman soon."

Lian Zhi glanced at Wen Zhiyu. This was a blatant attack on Wen Zhiyuan. It seemed that Wen Zhiyuan's position as the crown prince was not very secure.

Wen Zhiyuan did not look at Wen Zhiyu, but looked at Lian Zhi: "I have heard that the princess of Dongxia Zhenguo turned the tide during the chaos of Dongxia, quelled the civil strife, and established a new emperor. This kind of mentality is definitely beyond the reach of others, regardless of

Beautiful or ugly, it is my blessing to be able to marry such a princess."

Different from the other princes, Wen Zhiyuan looks more like his biological mother Su Yu, with a beautiful appearance and delicate facial features, especially the slightly raised corners of his eyes, which adds a bit of charm, but he has

Her temperament is calm and does not appear frivolous and feminine at all. She took off her armor and put on this black embroidered python suit, which made her look particularly elegant and eye-catching.

There is no shortage of women among the royal family members. They all blushed when they heard what Wen Zhiyuan said. They thought in their hearts that the prince had such high regard for the Wanyang Princess. I really don’t know how many generations this princess has been blessed with.

.

"Then I may disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince. I am not very familiar with the Crown Prince."
