Chapter 182 East China Sea Peach Blossoms
It has been more than a month since the worry-free princess of Qi came to Longcheng. So far, only few people know this secret. The luxurious palace purchased in the name of Lanlingjun was originally lived by a royal nobleman. It is very spacious and covers a vast area. The important figures from Qi have a place to live for a long time.
Perhaps, only the people of Qi knew that the reason why they spent a lot of money in Longcheng to renovate this already very luxurious mansion on a large scale, making it luxurious no less than any aristocratic place to live, was not for the convenience of coming and going. It was just because it gave Princess Wuyou a safe living environment.
Before we knew it, it was late summer, and the air was already slightly cool. The dry climate of Longcheng seemed a little uncomfortable for the worry-free princess who came from the coast of the East China Sea.
If we add the time to leave Canghai City, Qi, the princess of Qi has not seen her mother for nearly two months. The peach blossoms in the East China Sea have bloomed and faded. She has grown up so old that she has never left the queen for so long. At this time, she stood on the rockery pavilion and watched the sun in the west about to set, and she felt infinitely melancholy.
The cool wind blew over, wiping the hair on her temples. A pair of eyes with a little heroic spirit looked up as Zhenghong flew over his head and headed towards the place where the clouds gathered, and inexplicably became a little irritated.
"Little Fish, I envy these wild geese! They are flying freely in the sky, and they go wherever they want, no one cares about it... If we can also grow a pair of wings, that would be great!"
Xiaoyu is Princess Wuyou's personal maid. She grew up by the beach, with a little dark skin, but she looks very handsome. The girl was originally the daughter of an old fisherman on the beach, and she makes a living by fishing all year round. When her father went out to sea, he unfortunately encountered big waves and lost his life, leaving her alone and helpless. Later, by chance, Queen Wuyan took her in and asked her to go to the palace to serve Princess Wuyou. However, she was very close to her and stayed with her since then. This time she came to Zhao State and followed her.
"Princess, stop saying these stupid words. How can people fly? We will never grow wings!"
Xiaoyu knew very well what the princess was thinking. But in her opinion, these troubles were not necessary at all.
"I mean if! I can't think about it?"
Princess Wuyou pouted her beautiful mouth and muttered coquettishly. Only in front of this caring maid can she fully express her girlish nature.
"Princess, we are not in our own palace in Canghai City now, so don't be as casual as before! Maybe what we say and what we do will be passed on to Jinxiang Palace soon!"
Xiaoyu's mind is very meticulous. The princess has always been simple-minded and does everything casually. She is following her side and is worried at all times.
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, I have offended that King Zhao. He didn't have an attack last time. Will he send someone to make things difficult for us?"
Princess Wuyou's indifferent look made the loyal maid in front of her shake her head and smile bitterly. Since she left Qi State, without the constraints of the queen, she has become unscrupulous sometimes like a bird out of the cage. Although she occasionally thinks about the mission of Zhao State, she will be a little worried. But this does not prevent her from expressing the smug expression when she mentioned that matter. However, Xiaoyu obviously doesn't think so.
"Don't talk about the last incident again! Princess, I think of you now that you were embarrassed to let that King Zhao go to Taiwan, and you were still sweating in your palms! If you were to any princes, you wouldn't be able to calm down? If you only talk about this from this aspect, King Zhao seems to be very good! What's more, he is so handsome... Princess, hehe!"
Speaking of later, there were little stars in Xiaoyu's eyes. If we talk about it from her heart, of course, like most Qi people, they hoped to have a closer relationship with Zhao. After the development of these few months, the importance of the relationship between the two countries is obvious to all, and Zhao people provided great help to Qi. The key to achieving the goal this time was Princess Wuyou.
"Hate you! Xiaoyu, what did you say... If you like him, then you will marry him! Humph!"
Princess Wuyou's face was slightly rosy, and she looked beautiful in the setting sun. Xiaoyu sighed inexplicably and said deliberately pretending to be depressed.
"Of course I would like to be such a handsome King Zhao! It's a pity that I don't have the chance of being a princess... Alas! I really don't understand. When it comes to him, why does the princess always look angry?"
"You asked knowingly! I was just angry, but he said something like that to belittle the princess for the first time when he met. Humph! It's so hateful."
"Princess, at that time, King Zhao didn't know that you were behind King Lanling! It was just a misunderstanding. Did the princess still feel resentful after so long?"
"Until he officially apologizes to me, I can't get my princess' forgiveness! We came from Qi all the way. Did we just listen to his nonsense and random comments? We traveled all over the world with reason, and the fault of that matter was originally on him. Even if we meet the Queen Mother of Zhao in the future, I will be so righteous."
Princess Wuyou held the railing, raised her chest, and her eyebrows were full of heroic spirit. Although half of these words were bluffing, she actually thought so in her heart. If Chu Jiangmian was really such a stingy person, then she would not care about the interests involved behind her. She would never look at him again!
Xiaoyu sighed. As a witness, she still remembered it clearly even after so long. In fact, she thought in her heart that the princess did a little too much at that time. However, as the person she trusted most by Princess Wuyou, she would not help her, so of course she would have to look up to her.
Just over a month ago, the mighty Qi delegation came to Zhao again under the leadership of Lanlingjun. King Zhao Chu Jiangmian happened to have time that day, so he personally held a banquet and held a small banquet to welcome the arrival of Lanlingjun, an old friend.
Lanling Juntian Wuzhao, who came with a special mission, this time was different from the previous few times. His expression was particularly enthusiastic. He frequently urged him to drink during the banquet. In addition to briefly explaining a few major economic cooperation matters between the two countries, most of the time, he focused his conversations on constantly asking about Chu Jiangmian’s personal matters.
For example, ask the young King Zhao if he had a concubine in the palace? What kind of woman does King Zhao like? When will he choose a beauties to enrich the harem... Wait. Looking at the smiling Lanlingjun, Chu Jiangmian widened his eyes in surprise and confusion. He really didn't expect it! This Lanlingjun, who is famous in the world and is one of the four young masters, is so terrible when he is gossiped?
The King of Zhao, who gradually established prestige, seemed too young in this regard! The Minister of State, who seemed to have guessed something, sat next to him, and a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes. Seeing that King of Zhao seemed to be embarrassed by the question, he stood up and greeted Lanlingjun with a glass of wine, and asked on his own initiative.
"Lan Lingjun is so anxious to inquire about the harem of my king. Do you want to be a matchmaker for the lord? Haha!"
He was jokingly speaking. However, Lan Lingjun was just worried about it. He was still worried about how to speak on his own initiative. At this moment, he took advantage of the alcohol to go with the flow, but it was just right.
"Doctor Zizhong is really my confidant! King Zhao, brother Zizhong, since everyone is old friends, I don't have to turn around. To be honest, I was entrusted by the King of Qi and the Queen this time and made a special matchmaker to bring a marriage to King Zhao... Haha!"
Chu Jiangmian's wine just came to his mouth, and in shock, he couldn't help but squirt it out. He never expected that Lan Lingjun would say it so straightforwardly. Proposing marriage? This is too sudden! He didn't have time to think about it, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said in a stack of voices.
"No, no, this is not possible... How can this work? Never do it!"
Just kidding! In his concept, he must never accept that two strangers whom he had never met were arranged together because of interest. What's more, he already had Murong Qiancheng. Their bloodlines were connected together, and no matter how beautiful the other women in the world were, he would never take a look at them again.
Lan Lingjun didn't know if he was really drunk or deliberately pretending not to hear him. He showed a look of emotion on his face and exclaimed loudly.
"King Zhao is young and promising, and his heroic appearance is unlimited. Such a hero can only be worthy of a woman with unparalleled appearance, talent and virtue in the world! I, Qi State of the East China Sea, have a princess Wuyou, with a beautiful appearance and both civil and military. She will not marry a hero in the world! In Wuzhao's opinion, she and King Zhao are a perfect match, made of heaven and earth... Is King Zhao interested?"
Lan Lingjun made the purpose of his visit without any concealment. More than a dozen members of the Qi delegation who followed him looked at King Zhao Chu Jiangmian. Zi Zhong and several ministers of the political affairs who accompanied him also observed secretly with a complicated expression. Zhao wanted to win over Qi and further use it for him. If this marriage could be accomplished, it would of course be a great thing for both parties. But based on their own understanding, they all knew that Chu Jiangmian would not agree so easily. Sure enough, Chu Jiangmian refused without hesitation.
"Lanlingjun, this matter may disappoint you. No matter how good the princess of Qi is, it is not my food... That one, let's go back and tell her to choose another talent."
However, unexpectedly, the words he said without choice in his mood were ashamed and annoyed on the spot. Someone drew his sword and attacked in court.
