After Zhao Xiyan and Xu Jing got engaged, this was the first time they came to Beihai Palace.
With her status confirmed, Zhao Xiyan felt much more subtle when she entered the Beihai Palace. After entering, she quietly looked around.
Xu Jing had a clear understanding and turned around with a smile: "Do you think the palace is magnificent, too extravagant and a bit tacky?"
Zhao Xiyan chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty is the King of Beihai Domain and has a distinguished status. The palace should be as grand as this."
Xu Jing grinned, lowered his voice and smiled: "I have asked people to tidy up the yard, build a piano pavilion for you, and build a chess garden for you. The study has also been renovated and tidied up according to your preferences."
Sister Yue Yaer likes to be elegant and noble, and he will always remember it!
Zhao Xiyan felt warm in her heart.
There was such a person who kept her in her heart all the time. Even in the storm, she would hold his hand tightly and never let go.
Wait, she was just thinking, why did Xu Jing really hold her hand?
Zhao Xiyan glared at him: "I'm entering the prince's palace. I have to see the prince later, so don't mess around."
Xu Jing winked and smiled: "I just felt something in my heart, it must be you calling my name in my heart. Then I stretched out my hand. How about it, did I hit the mark?"
Zhao Xiyan's cheeks were slightly red, and she spat at him with a smile.
Xu Jing smiled and let go. The two of them entered the main hall together.
The King of Beihai and Princess Beihai were sitting at the top. Xu Ying and Xu Wan were accompanying them.
As soon as Zhao Xiyan appeared, Princess Beihai was quite surprised and said, "Why is Miss Zhao Liu here..."
King Beihai glanced over.
Princess Beihai had no choice but to force out a smile and change her words: "It's just the right time." King Beihai took over the words: "Eunuch Ma sent someone to send a letter, and Miss Zhao Liu also has a look."
Zhao Xiyan responded with a smile, stepped forward, and bowed solemnly: "Xiyan has met the prince, met the princess, and met the two county princes."
The King of Beihai was very kind and said with a smile: "Quickly excuse me. You and Chunsheng are engaged, and you will marry into the palace in a year or two. Sooner or later we will be a family, so there is no need to be formal."
Zhao Xiyan also respected her future father-in-law, who was gentle and good-tempered, and smiled accordingly.
"Chunsheng, this is Eunuch Ma's letter." Beihai King sighed: "Take a look!"
Xu Jing quickly opened the letter, and with a glance, his handsome face suddenly darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.
Princess Beihai felt nervous: "Chunsheng, what was written in the letter?"
Xu Jing said nothing.
Princess Beihai's voice trembled with fear: "What happened?"
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Xu Jing and stretched out her hand. Xu Jing pursed his lips tightly, but finally gave the letter to Zhao Xiyan.
Princess Beihai: "..."
King Bei Hai used his eyes to stop his old wife, who was full of sorrow and dissatisfaction.
Chun Sheng has had a bad temper since he was a child. It's rare for anyone to be able to control him. Isn't it great?
What's so good? I ate Chun Sheng to death before I even got through. Can I get it again in the future?
…
The old couple made gestures with their eyebrows, but no one paid attention.
Xu Ying and Xu Wan both frowned and looked at Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan lowered her eyes and fell on the thin letter paper in her hand. Ma Sansi had obviously practiced calligraphy and was good at writing. There were only a few sentences in the letter.
Captain Murong repeatedly spoke to the emperor, and the emperor moved and issued an imperial edict, ordering the princes of the vassal princes to go to the capital to study. The imperial envoy with the edict will be arriving in the near future, so the princes are requested to prepare as soon as possible.
Zhao Xiyan's expression remained calm. After reading the letter, she looked up at Xu Jing, who had a stormy look in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"
Once the imperial edict came, it was not possible to decide whether people wanted it or not. They had to set off for the capital.
Ma Sansi's letter came early, which gave Xu Jing a few days of precious time to respond early.
The one hundred thousand taels of silver given away that day was worth it.
Xu Jing squeezed out a cold snort from his nose: "He is deliberately trying to get me to go to the capital. Am I afraid of him? I want to go and see what he can do to me!"
Zhao Xiyan knew Xu Jing very well, and when she saw him acting like this, she knew she couldn't dissuade him. In fact, she had no intention of dissuading him.
Blindly avoiding it is not the answer. The chess game is in the capital, and they have to go to the capital to deal with the moves.
There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, so I have to brave it.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
As soon as these words came out, the most excited person was not Xu Jing, but Princess Beihai.
Princess Beihai stood up suddenly and came over with a look of urgency on her face: "Chunsheng, what are you going to do in the capital? Who is he in your mouth? When did you make such an enemy..."
Xu Jing was in a irritated mood, his ears were buzzing again, and he looked very unhappy: "Concubine, please stop asking."
Princess Beihai, like all mothers in the world who are disliked and nagging by their sons, was immediately heartbroken and burst into tears.
Xu Jing's head was as big as a bucket, so he had to be patient and coax his mother.
Xu Ying and Xu Wan also gathered around, and with soft words, they finally coaxed Princess Beihai away first.
The King of Beihai glanced at Zhao Xiyan and then said to Xu Jing: "Calm down first. There are still a few days before the imperial envoy can arrive in Beihai County. Think carefully for a few days before making a decision."
Xu Jing took a deep breath and nodded.
The North Sea King is also gone.
The maids and servants in the main hall retreated one after another. Only Xu Jing and Zhao Xiyan were left in the main hall of Nuo Da.
Zhao Xiyan made eye contact with him: "I am your fiancée. I will go wherever you go."
Xu Jing tried to make Sister Yue Yaer surrender with his domineering eyes. After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Jing was the first to be defeated. He pulled the hair on the back of his head hard and sighed: "That's it, I can't defeat you, so just come with me."
It’s time to go.”
Zhao Xiyan's eyebrows relaxed, and a small pear dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth.
…
In the evening, when Zhao Yuanming came back from clan studies, he was like a bolt from the blue when he heard about this incident.
"You want to go to the capital with Xu Jing?!" Zhao Yuanming was shocked and blurted out: "No! You can't go!"
Zhao Xiyan said softly: "Dad, I have to go."
"This incident started because of me. How can I just watch Xu Jing deal with Murong Shen alone?"
Zhao Yuanming was speechless. After a long while, he sighed: "The emperor has great power, but there is nothing he can do."
"It doesn't matter, you have grown up, got engaged, and have your own opinions. If you want to go to the capital, go to the capital!"
"It's just that dad can't accompany you. When I left the capital, I vowed never to set foot in the capital again."
Zhao Yuanming didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes flashed with sadness.
Zhao Xiyan asked softly: "Is it because of that Mu Yun?"
Zhao Yuanming: "..."
Zhao Yuanming, who had always been dignified and steady, stood up suddenly like a monkey whose tail was stepped on, his fair and elegant face flushed: "You, you, how did you know this name? Was it your grandmother or your uncle who said it?
?”
Therefore, this person named Mu Yun is indeed a woman, and it seems that she is quite involved with Zhao Yuanming.
Zhao Xiyan looked at her biological father who was rarely in embarrassment and whispered: "Dad, this is your past. If you don't want to talk about it, don't make it difficult."
