The weather in August is still stuffy, but fortunately, a rain just fell yesterday, and it was much cooler this morning.

Zhuque Street was crowded with people. I heard that the Rongdi missions entered the capital. The people in Chang'an City brought their families and invited their friends to the streets. The restaurants along the street were also occupied. The last time the Rongdi missions arrived in the capital was fifteen years ago. There were few times of such a bustle in their lifetime, so how could they miss it?

In the most luxurious spring breeze building in Chang'an City.

Xu Wenchan pulled Xu Guangji to the elegant room, and boasted proudly, "I have the foresight to make a reservation early, otherwise we would have to squeeze around like others."

Xu Guangji was not interested in the Rongdi mission, but saw that there were many people, so he was worried that his sister was running around alone, so he came out with her.

The two of them just climbed the stairs, but they met an acquaintance in the corridor—

Mr. Xie has a red robe and brocade dress, his face is like a jade, holding a gold-spreading fan in his hand, and his phoenix eyes are a bit surprised, "Xu Qilang, Miss Xu."

Xu Wenchan looked up at Mr. Xie, said hello lightly, and then looked at the woman wearing a veiled hat and a petite green skirt beside Mr. Xie. She asked tentatively, "County Lord?"

Qinghe slightly lifted up the white veil, revealing half of her fair cheeks, and greeted him softly, "Achan..."

After a pause, her eyes froze, and her eyes stayed on Xu Guangji for a short time, "Xu, General Xu."

Xu Guangji's cold and handsome cheeks also had an inexplicable redness, and he lowered his eyes and bowed, "Mr. Xie, the Lord of County Qinghe."

After a few simple greetings, Xu Wenchan saw that the Xie brothers and sisters were going downstairs in this direction, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you look at the Rongdi mission?"

Mr. Xie had no choice but to spread his hands, "We were planning to see it. I never thought that the private rooms in the building were fully booked, so we couldn't squeeze together with so many people."

When Xu Wenchan heard this, he smiled and said, "Yeah, wasn't it a coincidence? I booked a private room. If the young master and the county lord don't dislike it, sit with us!"

Mr. Xie's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and asked his sister what she meant, "Qinghe, what do you say?"

Qinghe nodded and smiled at Xu Wenchan, "Then I'll disturb you."

"What's wrong with this? It's so lively!" Xu Wenchan said deeply. "I booked a private room half a month ago. The location is very good, with a wide view and a clear view..."

While talking, the two little ladies kissed each other and walked towards the private room with their hands intimate hands. The two brothers left behind looked at each other, smiling helplessly and doting.

The private room is by the window, and there are also beautiful women sticking out toward the street. The waiter brings tea and pastries and leaves at the right time.

Mr. Xie sat opposite Xu Guangji, one was gentle and sparse, with a strong scholarly spirit; the other was tall and big, but had the style of a Confucian general.

Not only did the two have similar temperaments, but they also had similar hobbies, so they soon started chatting enthusiastically.

On the other side, Qinghe took off his hat and sat down on the railing with Xu Wenchan, looking at the crowded street.

"I heard that Prince Rongdi, who led the mission to Beijing this time, was only 23 years old. He was the son of King Yelu Khan. I don't know what he looked like?" Xu Wenchan held a handful of fried peanuts and sent them one by one into his mouth.

"The Rongdi people are fierce. I heard that their men are tall like giants, with big arms and round waists, and very fierce. Even women are tall and rough. A woman can marry several husbands!"

Because of his birth experience, Qinghe had no favoritism towards Rong Di.

In her impression, the Rongdi people were tall and tall, as green as wild beasts, with a loud voice, and eating raw meat and drinking blood, which was no different from the barbarians.

Xu Wenchan has been in the border since he was a child, but he has seen some Rongdi people. Although they are not as scary as Qinghe said, they are not very good-looking.

She thought, maybe the royal family members could be better-looking? I heard that Prince Ashinaqi's mother was a famous beauty on the grassland.

Soon, the discussion on the street became enthusiastic. The two of them were stunned and quickly looked over.

I saw the city gate open wide, accompanied by a sound of drums and music, a long line slowly marched over the wide Zhuque Street.

The people were cushioning their feet, stretching their necks, looking at them with a red face and chatting.

Xu Wenchan also turned his head and said to the two people who were drinking tea in the house, "Brother Seventh, young master, Rongdi mission is here, you can come out and see!"

Compared to Xu Wenchan's excitement, Qinghe was still very calm. He gently supported his small chin with one hand and looked at the street with only a pair of black eyes.

Mr. Xie and Xu Guangji also walked out. The location outside was a bit narrow, so they couldn't compete with their sisters for a place to sit, so they had to stand and see.

On the street, after more than forty Rongdi guards came over, a tall man riding a maroon horse appeared in everyone's sight.

His appearance was very three-dimensional and deep, with a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a short robe from Rong Di. His strong muscle lines could still be seen through a thin layer of fabric.

As if you stand out from the crowd, you can tell that this person's identity is not simple with just one glance.

"This should be the Prince Asunaqi?" Xu Wenchan's gaze fell tightly on the tall and strong man.

Mr. Xie shook his fan and replied, "It should be true, look at the outfit."

Xu Wenchan stumbled, "It's really worthy of being a wolf's tribe. He is really strong."

Qinghe frowned and thought to himself: The Rongdi man is indeed like a giant. The prince looks at least nine feet tall, and his fist is as big as a casserole. It is really scary to look at it.

Xu Guangji stood behind him, pretending to sweep over Qinghe inadvertently, seeing her furrowed brows and fair side face, her thin lips were slightly pursed.

What is the county lord thinking?

Does she like tall and strong men?

After the last time she parted, she seemed to have lost weight?

The four of them watched the excitement with their own thoughts, and then they had lunch together before they parted.

"Brother Seven, everyone has gone far away, don't look." Xu Wenchan raised five fingers and shook them in front of Xu Guangji, at least blocking Xu Guangji's vision stuck to the carriage.

Xu Guangji had just come to his senses.

Xu Wenchan raised his eyebrows and looked at him seriously, "What's wrong with you? It seems that after meeting the Lord Qinghe County Lord, he has been distracted."

Xu Guangji narrowed his eyes and said, "No. When he saw the county lord, he thought of the previous incident of Zhuyuan Villa."

When talking about that, Xu Wenchan's expression became solemn. He pulled Xu Guangji's sleeve and said seriously, "You must not ask these things in front of the county magistrate. No matter which little lady this matter is a psychological shadow, just pretend that you don't know."

Xu Guangji nodded solemnly, "Well, I know."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty was wise and did not shelter the bad guys. He punished the Zhou family and asked the second princess to marry Zhou Shaohui. The bad guys will be punished!... Oh, by the way, I heard from Atti that Your Majesty also wanted to give Qinghe a title and be named the second-rank Princess Qingping."

Xu Guangji was stunned, "Second rank..."

He frowned. He didn't care much about his official position before, but thought that Qinghe was a second-rank princess, and he was just a fourth-rank general of Wuwei.

The distance between him and her was much further apart.

****

That night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, and the reception banquet established for the Rongdi mission began at the Xu hour.

The lights in Yanfang Hall are brightly lit, and the golden osmanthus in August brings a refreshing sweet fragrance.

Emperor Zhaokang and Empress Zhou sat upright on the upper head. The position on the right side was the eldest princess and the lord of Qinghe County, Pei Yan and Tao Ti on the other side. The other princes, nobles and civil and military officials sat in order according to their ranks.

Tonight, Tao Ti was wearing a palace outfit with rouge and red embroidered crabapple flowers, a flying fairy bun, and a pearl agate head.

In order to match her precious head and bright clothes, she also put on full makeup, her small lips were covered with lip cream, rosy and plump, like bright red cherries, and looked seductive and seductive.

When she looked in the mirror, she was particularly satisfied with this outfit.

When I went out, I felt even more happy when I saw the stunning in Pei Yan's eyes. Although women dressed up mainly for their own happiness, it is hard to describe the satisfaction that can make the person they like amazing!

But now, sitting at this banquet, she suddenly felt a little unsatisfied with this outfit-

The Prince Rongdi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, kept looking at her. His hot and straightforward gaze made Tao Ti feel uncomfortable.

She lowered her eyes and tried her best to avoid the gaze of the Rongdi Prince, muttering in her heart: Is this prince a problem? Even if you are open-minded, you follow the customs of the countryside and stare at a married woman like this, it is really offensive!

Pei Yan naturally noticed the enthusiastic gaze that Prince Rongdi kept coming. His clear face did not show his joy or anger, but a layer of cold murderous aura gradually condensed in his deep black eyes.

He looked at the Prince Rongdi with a faint look.

If Prince Rongdi was a smart person, he would naturally understand Pei Yan's warning.

But the Rongdi prince did not hesitate at all. Instead, he looked at Pei Yanlai with interest, and toasted him with a wine glass.

Pei Yan, “…”

So stupid or provocative?

He narrowed his black eyes, raised his wine glass, and took a symbolic sip.

Fortunately, the singing and dancing were soon on the stage. The graceful bodies of the dancers and the colorful sleeves of the flying skirts blocked the sight of Prince Rongdi again to a certain extent.

Pei Yan turned his head slightly and looked at Tao Ti beside him.

His little princess lowered her head, seemed a little depressed, and her charming little face was bulging.

This attitude made Pei Yan feel a little displeased.

However, his eyes fell on her bright and gorgeous clothes and her increasingly beautiful face. His fingers holding the wine glass couldn't help but tighten, and the blue veins on the back of his cold and white hands were particularly obvious.

In half a year, she seemed to be getting more and more beautiful.

The dressing is casual and elegant on weekdays is not very obvious. Today, it is so bright and beautiful that it looks like a delicate flower that makes people unable to see it.

His Ati looks so outstanding that it will inevitably attract the covetousness of other men.

When Pei Yan thought of this, his eyes became even colder, and he felt an extremely strong possessive desire in his heart.

He wanted to build her a gorgeous palace and let her stay in it, and besides him, he would not let other men look at her.

Let her beauty be shown to him only.

This thought was crazily shaking in his chest. He stared at her rosy lips, his eyes getting darker and darker.

Perhaps his eyes were too hot, Tao Ti suddenly raised her head and was stunned for a moment when she met his paranoid and crazy gaze.

When she blinked and looked at her again, Pei Yan's peach blossom eyes were as usual, with a gentle and gentle moonlight.
