Chapter 268 Brother and Sister Meet

Under the gaze of nearly a hundred people from the Dongling and Xiqi countries, Chu Qinghuang, wearing a crimson waisted long skirt, walked in from outside the palace.

Against the light, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo. The girl's face was a little too beautiful to be real. The phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread on the skirt reflected a dazzling luster in the sun.

It made people feel noble and inviolable for no reason.

Xuanyuan Rongzhan raised his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on the girl's face, his eyes were fine, and he nodded casually.

This face was not bad, and it did not wrong his little sister's peerless face.

There was also a slender and delicate young man beside her. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he wore a black robe with dark satin embroidery, he looked like a noble young man.

However, the other party's restrained and dull demeanor and the temperament of hiding his sharpness made Rongzhan see through the identity of this young man at a glance.

Walking to the hall, Chu Qinghuang casually glanced at the people sitting on both sides of the hall - there was no need to look closely at Xiqi, just a quick glance.

The focus was on the distinguished guests from Dongling.

Chu Qinghuang's eyes turned slightly, and soon met Xuanyuan Rongzhan's warm and smiling eyes. She paused slightly, fortunately, she did not show a touch of being moved by a long-lost reunion.

Otherwise, she would not know how to respond.

Then she saw Xie Jin's elegant and noble face, which was still very charming even after he was over 40 years old. In addition to becoming more and more mature, his demeanor between his eyebrows became more and more calm and deep, and his handsome charm did not diminish at all.

"Is this the eldest princess?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and spoke in a light voice. Only those who were particularly close to him could hear the warmth in his voice. "Not only does her temperament suit my taste, but her appearance is also first-class. It really meets the saying that she is so beautiful that she can make fish sink and geese fall, and she can overturn a country and a city."

As soon as the voice fell, the expressions of the ministers of Xiqi were instantly complicated and varied.

To be honest, the eldest princess is indeed beautiful, but for a long time they have paid more attention to her temper than her appearance. The well-educated noble ladies can still compete to see who is more beautiful and talented, but when it comes to the eldest princess, they are most impressed by her force and violence.

After all, who would pay too much attention to the appearance of a woman who often takes servants into the mansion, whips others, and leads troops to confiscate property?

Even if Chu Qinghuang is so beautiful that no one can match her, like a goddess from heaven, in the eyes of those whose property has been confiscated and exterminated, they will never think she is so beautiful, but only think she is a fierce and evil spirit.

Chu Qinghuang looked at him expressionlessly and led Fu Cang to the right.

"Qinghuang." His Majesty the Emperor said, "This is His Royal Highness the War King and the Prime Minister from Dongling."

Chu Qinghuang said in a light tone: "I know."

Huh?

The emperor choked and coughed lightly: "Qinghuang, please be polite."

Chu Qinghuang sat down in the seat reserved for her on the right, raised her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Rongzhan opposite, holding up the wine cup, "This palace offers a glass to His Royal Highness Prince Zhan."

Xuanyuan Rongzhan picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"On the way here, I heard rumors in Xiqi that the eldest princess is a goddess who has descended to the earth and the reincarnation of the emperor." Xuanyuan Rongzhan smiled faintly, "I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor of Xiqi and the ministers think of this?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet again.

Chu Tiankuo's face suddenly changed, and he laughed dryly: "Don't believe all rumors--"

"I'm not talking to you." Xuanyuan Rongzhan frowned and glanced at him unhappily, "The emperor hasn't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?"

Chu Tiankuo's face froze: "I..."

"Besides, haven't you heard that there is no smoke without fire?" Rongzhan frowned, "The powerful country of Dongling has had three female emperors. Does King Xuan think that women can't take on important tasks?"

"I... I don't mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?" Xuanyuan Rongzhan looked unkind, "You want to be the emperor?"

Chu Tiankuo's face turned pale, and he quickly stood up and knelt down: "Father, you are wise! I have no such intention!"

His Majesty the Emperor frowned, his expression unhappy.

As the queen's legitimate son, he has ambitions but dares not admit them, and he is so timid, which is a far cry from Qinghuang.

"Since King Xuan has no intention of being crown prince, why is he so aggressive about the rumors?" Xuanyuan Rongzhan was puzzled, "Wouldn't it be better for you to be a prince?"

King Xuan was already at a loss as to how to deal with him, his face was turning pale and blue, and it was embarrassing for everyone to see him.

Uncle Qin hurriedly spoke to smooth things over: "Your Highness King Zhan, you don't know that there has never been a woman emperor in Western Qi, so Your Highness King Xuan thinks the rumors are ridiculous, not that he is dissatisfied with the princess."

Rongzhan snorted: "Before my brother ascended the throne, my mother was the Queen of Dongling, and I haven't seen that Dongling is weaker than other countries."

The ministers of Western Qi looked at each other.

This King Zhan from Dongling seems a bit difficult to deal with. What does he mean?

Just because Dongling had a queen doesn't mean that other countries must have queens... Although Dongling is indeed strong, it can't forcibly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, right?

"Your Highness, the Princess." Xuanyuan Rongzhan looked up at Chu Qinghuang, "Do you want to be the empress?"

Chu Qinghuang nodded nonchalantly, "I do."

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

After these words fell, the ministers of Xiqi changed their expressions.

"Seventh sister!" Chu Tiankuo turned to look at her in disbelief, "What did you say?"
