Chapter 320: Cousin Xier, are you used to everything after coming to Chu?
Chu Zixi nodded slightly, motioning them to stand up, and then said gently: "My dear ministers, no need to be polite, let's go into the palace together." After that, she turned around and walked into the palace with Jun Feimo. The ministers behind them followed one after another, and the group walked towards the palace in a mighty manner.
The people on both sides of the road were talking to each other, excitedly discussing the scene just now, "Wow! Those two people just now are Princess Zhaoyang and the War King of Dongyang! They are so well matched standing together, they are simply a perfect match made in heaven, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful!"
Others also echoed and expressed their agreement.
However, at this moment, a pair of eyes full of resentment were hidden in front of the second-floor window of the teahouse next door.
A maid whispered to the woman beside her: "Miss, let's go back first."
The woman called Miss gnashed her teeth and replied, "Why can she be a princess? The emperor has been childless for so many years, and she, a bastard who came out of nowhere, actually got such an honor!"
The maid nervously reminded, "Shh! Miss, you must not talk like that. It will be troublesome if others hear it."
Lu Sisi angrily slapped the maid, "Humph! How dare she humiliate me in public? I will never let it go. I must find a way to embarrass her and see how she can have the nerve to marry the War King of Dongyang."
"Miss, please don't do anything rash. If the master finds out, you'll be in trouble!" said the maid in horror, her eyes full of worry and fear.
After hearing this, Lu Sisi's face darkened. She raised her hand and slapped the maid on the other side of her face, saying sternly, "When is it your turn as a lowly maid to question what I do?"
The maid covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall. She lowered her head and dared not speak any more.
Seeing that the maid stopped talking, Lu Sisi leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the maidservant's body trembled violently and she showed an expression of astonishment, but she quickly regained her composure, except that there was a bit more determination in her eyes.
"Are you not going yet?" Seeing this, Lu Sisi shouted again.
The maid gritted her teeth and stammered, "Yes... I'll go buy it right away." After that, she turned around and left in a hurry.
In the magnificent imperial palace, under the dome of the Renyi Hall, Chu Tianlong, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the main seat with dignity yet gentleness, his eyes flashing with sincerity for the visitors from afar.
The envoys from Dongyang State walked with a hint of fatigue from the long journey, but it was difficult to conceal their demeanor and pride as envoys.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way." Chu Tianlong's voice was gentle and powerful, as if it could soothe all the fatigue of the journey. His eyes were full of concern and welcome, making people feel kind and warm.
"Come on, serve the food! Let us enjoy delicious food and fine wine and celebrate the friendship between our two countries."
Following Chu Tianlong's order, the palace maids and eunuchs came in one after another. Their steps were light and graceful, and the trays in their hands were filled with all kinds of precious food and fine wine.
These delicacies exude an alluring aroma, making people salivate. The palace maids placed exquisite dishes on the table, showing the cooking skills and luxurious life of the Chu State. Each dish was carefully cooked, colorful, delicious, and appetizing.
The eunuchs were busy pouring wine for the envoys. The fine liquor in the wine glasses sparkled with crystal light and exuded a rich aroma.
The aroma of wine and the attractive colors of the dishes instantly added a bit of warmth and warmth to this solemn hall. Chu Tianlong took the lead in raising his glass, and his eyes swept over each envoy, and he said sincerely: "I respect you all, and I hope that the friendship between Chu and Dongyang will last forever, and we will work together for a path of peaceful development!"
Lord Qin and the envoys all stood up and raised their glasses in response: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone drank the wine in their glasses together, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The lunch ended with laughter and joy. Everyone tasted delicious food, exchanged each other's culture and traditions, and enhanced their understanding of each other's countries. Chu Tianlong changed the subject and said, "Prince Li, you personally lead the envoys of Dongyang to the posthouse to rest. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the palace and a palace banquet to welcome you all."
Prince Li nodded in agreement, stood up, and led the envoys out of the palace.
Inside the post station, Chu Zixi was looking at Yun Yangshuo carefully with her concerned eyes. She said softly, "Cousin, let me take a look at your wound."
However, Yun Yangshuo smiled and shook his head, responding: "It's okay, cousin, Young Master Hua has checked it for me, and it's much better now."
Yun Yangshuo was holding back his expression as he saw Jun Feimo standing beside him. He was injured in the chest, and if he really showed the wound to his cousin, the look in the War King's eyes would make him want to be killed.
But Chu Zixi was not shaken by his words. She firmly pressed Yun Yangshuo to sit on the chair, then stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched his pulse.
After a while, Chu Zixi frowned slightly, a trace of worry appeared on her face, and her tone was a bit reproachful: "Too much blood loss? You still say it's okay? Cousin, you are seriously injured?" Then, she quickly took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to Yun Yangshuo, "Here, take two. This is my special blood-generating pill. It will be good for your injury."
Yun Yangshuo reached out to take the porcelain bottle, opened the bottle cap, and a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose. He poured out two pills from the bottle, carefully observing the fine patterns and crystal clear luster on the pills, and a warm current surged in his heart. He smiled and put the pills into his mouth, feeling the pills dissolving in his mouth, and a gentle medicinal power quickly spread throughout his body.
He sighed softly and said with emotion: "Thank you, cousin, but I'm really fine. I'm much better now. Speaking of which, I never expected that your status would be so noble. When my grandfather learned the news you sent back, he felt very regretful and always blamed himself for what happened back then, thinking that he had harmed my aunt."
Chu Zixi heard this and shook her head gently, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "Cousin, how can you blame grandpa for this? No one could have predicted what happened back then. Father lost his memory, and everything was God's will. It was not until the past few months that he gradually recovered his memory and remembered every detail of his time with mother. Grandpa's painstaking efforts were also for mother's sake. If mother knew about this, she would definitely not blame grandpa."
Yun Shenqi said, "Cousin Xier, have you gotten used to everything since you came to Chu?"
