Little Xingxing has been in Cining Palace, "concentrating" on studying her explosives.
the rest of the time.
Little Xingxing will take the time to make iceberg lava chocolates for Chu Yutian, two of them every day. When they are ready, they will be given to Yunxiao for him to take back.
Chu Yutian would visit her occasionally.
Every time Chu Yutian's front foot arrives, Chu Yichen's back foot arrives. Guarding against Chu Yutian is like guarding against a thief.
Little Star guessed.
Chu Yichen was worried that Chu Yutian would coax the explosive formula from her hands when he was away. Little Xingxing felt that Chu Yichen really had a villain's heart.
Because every time Chu Yutian came, he never mentioned explosives.
With Chu Yichen around, Little Xingxing couldn't inquire about the news outside the palace with Chu Yutian, and Chu Li's dead men didn't send any more news. Little Xingxing was completely isolated from the world in Cining Palace.
Fortunately, Queen Mother Mo Yu and Chu Yiran were here, so life was pleasant.
Time passes day by day.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
On this day, Chu Yutian came to see her early. Xiao Xingxing chatted with him for a while, but Chu Yichen didn't come.
"Huh."
Little Xingxing said in surprise, "In the past, when my uncle came to Cining Palace, Chu Yichen would arrive without even a stick of incense, but today he didn't come."
"He's not free."
"Why?"
Chu Yutian glanced at her, and Little Xingxing immediately offered the chocolate with both hands. Chu Yutian leaned on the wicker chair and slowly ate his chocolate cake with a small silver spoon. Then he said, "There are troops everywhere in Tiansheng now. Chu Yutian
Yichen was afraid that his throne would be unstable, so he wanted to recruit some help. After he ascended the throne, several small countries around him sent envoys to congratulate him on his accession to the throne. Today, envoys from various countries have arrived, and he was busy receiving the envoys.
I don’t have time to come to Cining Palace.”
I see.
"Oh, the people from Cangyun Kingdom are the third prince Helianyan and the princess Helianya. It is said that Helianyan is just twenty years old this year. He heard that Tiansheng produced a beautiful woman, so he became the envoy. I guess he came here
Tiansheng chose his concubine."
Chu Yutian added, "Cangyun Country is located in a grassland with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Their land is not suitable for planting, but is only suitable for grazing. Therefore, they have many cattle and sheep, as well as horses, and there are also many war horses suitable for fighting."
Little Xingxing understood, "Chu Yichen wants their war horse."
"War horses are only part of it. Although the Cangyun Kingdom has a small number of people, their riding and shooting skills are top-notch, regardless of whether they are male or female. Everyone is a soldier, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong."
"Chu Yichen wants to marry Cangyun Kingdom and let Cangyun Kingdom be his helper to help him secure the throne."
Chu Yutian nodded. He licked the cake at the corner of his mouth and reminded Xiao Xingxing, "So, you and Chu Yiran will probably attend the palace banquet tonight."
"..."
Little Xingxing was dumbfounded, "To put it bluntly, tonight's palace banquet is just a blind date. I have already divorced someone. Isn't it wrong for Chu Yichen to let me go?"
"People in the Cangyun Kingdom don't value a woman's chastity. Their women's status is very high. After their husbands die, there are many remarries with children and cattle and sheep. As long as the dowry is sufficient, the men in the Cangyun Kingdom are more willing to marry a second wife.
A married woman or a widowed woman."
"..."
It is still an enlightened country.
But Xiaoxingxing felt that Chu Yutian thought too much.
She is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of making explosives for Chu Yichen. She is a "mobile arsenal" in Chu Yichen's eyes. How could Chu Yichen be willing to let her participate in such a blind date party.
He wants to have a good relationship with the Cangyun Kingdom. If the third prince of the family falls in love with her, do you think Chu Yichen will agree to the marriage or not?
so.
In order to prevent problems before they occur.
Chu Yichen would definitely not let her attend this palace banquet.
Can……
Facts prove.
Chu Yichen's brain probably isn't working very well.
In the afternoon of the same day, Eunuch Wei, who was next to Chu Yichen, sent two sets of palace clothes and jewelry. Eunuch Wei said with a smile, "Today, envoys from various countries came to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his enthronement. The emperor specially hosted a banquet for the envoys from various countries at the Meixiang Hall.
The princess of Cangyun Kingdom is also here, and the emperor specially sent clothes and jewelry for the princess and the princess to accompany her at the Meixiang Palace."
"..."
Chu Yutian really got it right.
Little Xingxing was extremely speechless.
Eunuch Wei waved his hand, and the two nuns behind him walked out, "The two nuns will dress up the princess and the princess. When the time comes, the emperor will send someone to pick up the princess and the princess."
Xiao Xingxing and Chu Yiran looked at each other, saluted and thanked them.
Eunuch Wei left his clothes and jewelry and left.
As soon as he left, the two nuns urged Xiaoxing and Chu Yiran to go back to the room to change clothes and dress up. Xiaoxing noticed that there were two sets of palace clothes, one was black with dark patterns embroidered on it, and the other was pink.
Scarlet color.
The scarlet suit also had various exquisite earrings and hairpins on it, but the black suit was empty, with no jewelry at all.
"This clothes..."
"The black one belongs to the princess, and the scarlet one belongs to the princess."
Little Star nodded.
The clothes given to her were so simple and unpretentious. It seemed that Chu Yichen didn't want others to notice her, so why bother letting her attend the palace banquet?
ill!
Xiao Xingxing and Chu Yiran went back to their rooms to dress up.
After changing clothes, I started combing my hair.
as expected.
The bun that grandma gave her was very simple. She used a silver hairpin to tie a bun on the top of her head, and the rest of her hair was spread over her shoulders. It couldn't be simpler.
Even the grandma who dressed her up was dressed more exquisitely than she was.
But Little Xingxing has fair complexion and delicate facial features. Not only did her black clothes fail to cover up her beauty, but it actually made her skin look like cream, making her look graceful and cool.
She looks like an irises blooming in the dark night, looking mysterious and noble.
Grandma frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with how dazzling she was, but she only had one silver hairpin all over her body, and there really was no jewelry to omit.
Mammy could only say, "Your Majesty has a decree. If anyone asks about the princess's dress, the princess will say that she just got married and is in a bad mood and has no intention of dressing up."
Little Xingxing rolled her eyes, "I know."
After finishing my makeup, it was already dark.
Not long after, a strange palace maid stood by the door with her hands lowered, "Princess, it's time to set off."
"knew."
After leaving the house, I found that snow had fallen outside without my noticing. It was snowing heavily, and the ground was already wet. When the cold wind blew, the snowflakes went straight into my neck, and the little star shivered from the cold.
At the gate of Cining Palace, I met Chu Yiran who was also dressed up.
Chu Yiran dressed up.
She is wearing a scarlet palace dress, which outlines the graceful figure of a girl. Her hair is covered with gold hairpins, but it does not look tacky. With her expressionless face, she looks noble and majestic.
The two looked at each other, and the palace maid led the way. After leaving Cining Palace, they got on the chariot and went directly to Meixiang Palace.
The chariot has just stopped.
Little Xingxing heard the lively conversation in Mei Xiangdian.
Got off the carriage.
The palace maid led the two of them into the Meixiang Hall.
The eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Princess Changle has arrived, Princess Anle has arrived."
"..."
There was a sudden sound in the hall.
The next second.
Little Xingxing was keenly aware of a gaze falling on her that could not be ignored.
She looked up suddenly.
Following that line of sight, she saw a man in black and brocade clothes wearing a mask sitting cross-legged on a high seat, looking at her quietly.
