Contract Prince

Chapter 42 Return "Part 2"

During the few days in the carriage, the relationship between Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue seemed to be much more harmonious.A few days later, they finally arrived at Xiaodu.

Today's Xiaodu is much more lively than usual. Soldiers lined up neatly at the gate of the capital, apparently to maintain order.

The leader of these soldiers is Jiang Shitang, the first rank guard in front of the palace.Beside Jiang Shitang, stood an arrogant young man.You don't need to contact him, just looking at him, you can feel the arrogance of the young man.

This young man is Zhao Wang Xiaocong, why is he standing at the gate of the capital?It turns out that today is the day when Yu Wenyan, the king of Southern Chu, visited Xiao.

According to the etiquette system, the country of Xiao is a country of Shangbang, if Emperor Xiao came to welcome Yu Wenyan, then it would lose the face of the emperor of Shangbang.Generally speaking, the prince is sent to meet the monarch of the lower state.

But Prince Xiao Guan has been abolished, and King Zhao has been favored again.Therefore, the emperor entrusted Xiao Cong with the task of welcoming the monarch.

After Xiao Cong accepted Xiao Guan's will, he felt elated.Obviously, Xiao Guan intends to make him the crown prince.Standing at the gate of the city, King Zhao had an unconcealable pride on his gloomy face.

After all, Yu Wenyan is the king of Southern Chu, and he traveled all the way to Xiao to pay tribute.No matter how much the emperor hated him, he had to make his courtiers greet him so as not to be criticized.

Today's scene is very lively, and the more lively it is, the more potential safety hazards there are.Therefore, the soldiers at the gate of the capital are checking the vehicles and horses entering the city in an orderly manner.

Among the officials led by Xiao Cong, in addition to military generals, there were also civil servants. For example, Lu Zhong, the young master of Ningguo Duke's mansion, was among the civil servants.Gu Yunjing's carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the capital, and Jiang Shitang led the soldiers to check it according to the rules.

"The people in the carriage got off and consciously accepted the interrogation." A thick man's voice sounded.

Gu Zhong was driving the horse, and had no intention of coming down.He said leisurely: "The ones sitting in the carriage are the son-in-law and the princess, the official wants them to come down for inspection?"

Jiang Shitang said: "Your Majesty has an order that anyone who wants to enter the city must be inspected! Even consorts and princesses should obey His Majesty's orders."

Jiang Shitang is a military general, his voice is extremely loud and high-pitched, so it can easily reach the ears of Gu Yunjing and the others.

Xiao Muxue opened half of the curtain, looked at the serious Jiang Shitang, and said slightly: "So it's Master Jiang Fang Chai, long time no see, don't come here for nothing."

"I have seen Your Highness the Princess." Jiang Shitang immediately saluted Xiao Muxue.

At the gate of the imperial study that day, Jiang Shitang witnessed the power of the sixth princess with his own eyes.Looking at Xiao Muxue in front of him, his resonant voice suddenly dropped a few decibels, "Your Majesty has an order that any vehicle or horse entering the city will be subject to interrogation, and please cooperate with Your Highness the Princess."

Xiao Muxue said in a deep voice: "Since it is the imperial father's will, I must obey it."

Xiao Muxue returned to the carriage and said a few words to Gu Yunjing, and after a while, the two got out of the carriage.Xiao Muxue got off the carriage first, followed by Gu Yunjing.

Lu Zhong's eyes were sharp, and he saw Xiao Muxue in fluttering white clothes from a long distance away.He walked over with an excited face, and after packing with Xiao Muxue, he was just about to make friends.

Unexpectedly, before the near words were spoken, he saw Gu Yunjing who got off the carriage, his excited face turned gloomy again, and the speed of turning his face was comparable to turning the pages of a book.

Although Lu Zhong was dissatisfied with Gu Yunjing, he couldn't get away with the etiquette that should be paid attention to.He reluctantly gave a salute, "See you son-in-law." Then he asked in a strange voice, "Master son-in-law, have you traveled far away?"

Gu Yunjing smiled, looking kind on the surface, but his tone was not inferior: "Why, Mr. Lu even intervenes in my son-in-law's private affairs? It seems that there is no rule, I must report my whereabouts to you Bar."

Lu Zhong's face turned pale when Gu Yunjing said this, but he couldn't think of a refute to Gu Yunjing's words.He said coldly: "My son-in-law is serious, Lu Zhong is just expressing his concern."

"My son-in-law was just joking with Mr. Lu just now. I know you have always cared for me." Gu Yunjing glanced at Lu Zhong, intentionally or unintentionally, "At the Guining banquet last time, thank you for the fine wine that Mr. Lu respected. I have to say, it's really good wine, I still remember the taste of that wine."

How could Lu Zhong fail to hear the irony in Gu Yunjing's words, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced himself to be calm, "My son-in-law is being polite."

Gu Yunjing ignored Lu Zhong and walked slowly to Xiao Muxue's side.Xiao Cong, who was standing in the distance, also walked over leisurely after seeing the two of them.

Xiao Cong asked: "Hey, isn't this sister Xue'er? Are you coming back from the city?"

Xiao Muxue didn't even look at Xiao Cong, she casually said, "It's too boring in the house, let's go out and relax."

Xiao Cong smiled, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his smile was a superficial smile.

"As far as I know, this person, if he cares too much about bad things, he will naturally feel bored in his heart. If you want to live a comfortable and happy life, then you have to stop meddling, otherwise there will be more boring days in the future."

Xiao Cong made insinuations, and what he projected was naturally Xiao Muxue's helping Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Muxue is not bad at her mouth, she smiled, and said coldly: "Thank you for the reminder, big brother, Mu Xue also reminded the big brother, it's not terrible to care about too many bad things, the terrible thing is to do too many bad things. If there are too many bad things to live a happy life, can you sleep peacefully if you do too many bad things?"

"Don't be complacent because you have successfully done one or two bad things. How can you not get your feet wet when you often walk by the river?" Xiao Muxue stared at Xiao Cong, and said with deep meaning: "Brother, you are right." Is it?"

I really can't see this girl's film, she is young, but she has a good tongue.Xiao Cong felt that if he continued talking to Xiao Muxue, his lungs would explode.Flicking his cuffs, he said expressionlessly, "I still have important things to do, so I won't talk."

After the carriage passed the disk inspection, the princess consort sat on it again.

Gu Yunjing pondered and said: "It's really a troubled time now. The Tao Ce matter has not come to an end, and Yu Wenyan will show up again."

Knowing Yu Wenyan's thoughts on Xiao Muxue, she said slowly: "This Yu Wenyan is not a kind person. He came to Xiao Country to pay tribute in name, but we all know that the reason why he came to Xiao Country is more for His Royal Highness. .”

"If Yu Wenyan knew that Her Royal Highness has married me, I think he would be very angry."

Although Xiao Muxue didn't have much contact with Yu Wenyan, she had heard of Yu Wenyan's behavior more or less from Xiao Guan's ears.

Tyrannical, vicious and treacherous, this is Xiao Guan's evaluation of Yu Wenyan.Xiao Muxue didn't know whether this evaluation was true, but just because Yu Wenyan wanted to force her to marry into Nanchu, Xiao Muxue already hated this person to the extreme.

"I'm afraid that he will embarrass you, son-in-law, after knowing that Kong is happy." Xiao Muxue said worriedly.

Gu Yunjing smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'll let him know that Her Royal Highness's son-in-law is not easy to mess with."

After hearing Gu Yunjing's words, Xiao Muxue inadvertently became a little better, "I believe that the son-in-law will make that Yu Wenyan feel ashamed and return home in disgrace."

"That is, what's the matter, I also have to save face for Her Royal Highness."
