Chapter 431: Fall in Love at First Sight
After chatting in the Imperial Garden, the two quickly returned to the palace.
The Northern Frontier envoys had different expressions, looking at Duanmu Wuyou with a bit of inquiry, really curious about what she talked about with the Queen of Xiqi
However, Duanmu Wuyou ignored them, and the monarch, ministers, host and guest sat down in order according to their status and etiquette.
The palace banquet was boring, nothing more than some occasional words, hypocritical or polite, nine out of ten were perfunctory.
During the banquet, the envoy mentioned the Northern Frontier Emperor Duanmu Yu, and Chu Qinghuang dismissed him with one sentence: "The Northern Frontier Emperor? I have never seen him."
The topic was declared over before it even started.
The expressions of the Northern Frontier envoys were a little ugly. Of course, the reason for the ugly look was not because of the emperor's affairs, but the attitude of Her Majesty the Queen of Xiqi.
It was clear that they were not taken seriously.
But they didn't say anything. The envoys who escorted the princess to the Northern Frontier this time were all selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The purpose of the Crown Prince was just to confirm Xiqi and to find out if his father had a chance to go back.
This will make it easier for him to judge whether he should ascend the throne forcefully or send troops to conquer Xiqi to show filial piety.
However, from the attitude of Her Majesty the Queen, it can be seen that Duanmu Yu's chance of returning to the Northern Frontier should be small, and she said "I don't know", which seems to mean that there is no need for negotiation.
So everyone felt at ease.
After the banquet, Chu Qinghuang sent Chen Hai, the chief steward of the inner court, "Prepare a quiet residence for Princess Duanmu, and settle the other envoys. Don't neglect the guests."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Chen Hai led the palace people to settle the guests, and Hongyu met Duanmu Wuyou at this time.
Looking at this girl up close, Hongyu secretly thought that his vision was right. The little princess of the Duanmu family looked like a fairy no matter how he looked at her. Look at her skin, so tender that you can squeeze water out of it...
"I heard that you fell in love with me at first sight?" Duanmu Wuyou stopped and looked at the absent-minded Hongyu coldly. His voice was as cold as the coldest days of winter, and water would turn into ice. "Do you know how to please me?"
Hongyu's expression froze, and he looked up at her in disbelief.
When their eyes met, he saw the coldness in the other's dark pupils, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him.
Little fairy?
The girl in front of him was indeed beautiful and refined, but when she opened her mouth...where was there any fairy temperament?
"...You may have misunderstood." Hongyu smiled stiffly and couldn't help but back off, "I'm not interested in pleasing anyone, and I didn't fall in love with you at first sight-"
"No need to deny it." Duanmu Wuyou interrupted him, "Stay by my side and serve me in the future. If you do well, I will make you a servant."
Hongyu's expression froze instantly.
He can't escape the fate of being a servant in this life, right?
Being her servant is not as good as being the husband of Her Majesty the Queen.
Hongyu frowned: "Sorry, I am now working in the Imperial Observatory. My duty is to pray for good weather in Xiqi, pray for the people of the world, and pray for Her Majesty the Queen. I have no idea about the love affairs of ordinary people."
After saying this, he turned and left.
"You have to agree, whether you agree or not." Duanmu Wuyou ignored his thoughts at all, and his tone was particularly tough, "You looked good in red before, but this dress of fame and fortune is not suitable for you now. Wear red in the future."
Before?
Hongyu's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly turned his head, with shock in his eyes. He stared at Duanmu Wuyou's face, which should have been innocent, and couldn't believe that there was such a magical thing in the world.
"You..."
"It's me." Duanmu Wuyou said coldly, "Don't you recognize me?"
As soon as the voice fell, the expression on Hongyu's face was completely frozen.
Why is he so unlucky?
Why did he have to offend a demon?
Hongyu turned around and left without looking back, his steps were so fast that it seemed that some ferocious beast was chasing him.
Love at first sight? A fairy who is not stained by the fireworks of the world?
Screw his love at first sight, screw his fairy, he is probably blind.
He has never been so blind in his life.
If his Hongluan is such a demon, he would rather die alone.
What kind of joke is Yue Lao playing on him? Is he deliberately making trouble for him?
Hongyu fled back to the Imperial Observatory, hurried into the secret room, and began to tell fortunes.
He must figure out what kind of evil this Duanmu Wuyou is.
