Fragrant willow catkins

The Southern Kingdom Palace is holding a banquet today to welcome Prince Chen and celebrate his descent from the mountain.

In the hall, the princes and princesses sat below, enjoying the dance.

The Southern Emperor sat on a high throne, with his most favored Concubine De sitting next to him.

The Queen of the South Kingdom was not popular and had long since retired.

It was said to be a welcome party, but the seat of Prince Chen was at the edge closest to the Southern Emperor. I don't know if the seats were arranged according to seniority. Except for the initial greetings and toasts to the Southern Emperor, the Prince Chen had been sitting in his seat. Looking from behind, the prince in a blue robe was eating quietly, and the bustle around him had nothing to do with him.

Unlike him, Prince Ling Mu Ling held a wine glass and walked up to the Southern Emperor, toasting him and congratulating his younger brother on his upcoming wedding.

The Southern Emperor liked him the most. He was amused by his few words, praised him for his thoughtfulness, and rewarded him with some treasures. Mu Ling happily shouted "Thank you, Father!"

The other princes saw this, but they were used to it and acted as if they didn't care.

Among the princes and princesses present, only Prince Chen was born to the Queen. The mothers of the others were concubines. They had not received much attention from the Southern Emperor since childhood. Since Concubine De and her son were favored, they had no power to fight.

The wedding procession arrived at the capital of the Southern Kingdom the day before the wedding. On the wedding day, before dawn, the palace sent someone to the inn to dress up Liu Chenxiang.

Liu Chenxiang had a cold complexion to begin with, and she was woken up when she was still half asleep. She sat in front of the mirror with a stern face, holding Baibai in her arms. The maids didn't dare to say a word, for fear that Liu Chenxiang would be punished for her bad temper.

After dressing up cautiously and covering her head with a veil, Liu Chenxiang was helped into the bridal sedan and set off.

Today, Qingzhu changed out of her black clothes and followed the bridal sedan in a green outfit.

There were many people watching. Although the two were no longer favored, they were still mythical to ordinary people. The two royal families who had reached the god level would never dare to disrespect them.

The noise was so loud that Qingzhu spoke softly to the window, "Princess, I will accompany you for a while, and I can't go any further."

The end of the road is the gate of Prince Chen's Palace.

Liu Chenxiang remained silent, and her expression could not be seen through the sedan chair.

After a while, Qingzhu was about to leave, and he warned her worriedly, "Princess, you...be careful."

Don't kill too many.

Liu Chenxiang: “Yeah.”

"I'll take my leave." Qingzhu disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Liu Chenxiang didn't care about these things at the wedding. Otherwise, the princess of the previous dynasty was forced to marry, with no relatives to send her off, and went to another country alone. The thought of this would make her suffocate...

Qingzhu stood far away, at the end of the crowd, and watched with his own eyes as Liu Chenxiang was welcomed down from the sedan chair, with Baibai following closely behind. Everyone had a festive smile on their face.

He sighed softly and left.

Led by the maid, amid the sound of firecrackers and everyone's blessings, Liu Chenxiang entered the house.

Two completely different weddings.

Liu Chenxiang didn't care about these things. She wanted to start with Prince Chen and find out the truth.

From then on, Liu Chenxiang was no longer there, Xiangliu returned and started killing.

Looking around the Prince Chen's mansion, although it was lively, it also lacked some atmosphere. Almost no one from the royal family came. Ye Chenshang didn't have a deep relationship with them. The only brother of the crown prince was also exiled to the border. The officials who came were those who saw the status of the prince and the lord, and they talked about things that had nothing to do with the wedding. It has become normal for the Prince Chen to be ignored.

The other protagonist of the wedding stood in front of the hall, wearing a wedding dress, with her lips slightly pursed, and did not look very willing.

The matchmaker handed the other end of the red silk to Ye Chenshang, who hesitated for a moment and took it.

"The auspicious time has arrived! Let's bow..."

"Wait a minute." Xiang Liu interrupted coldly.

Ye Chenshang tilted his head to look at her. Is this princess' voice... so cold? The Northern Kingdom is good at water, so everyone in the royal family is so cold? Shouldn't they be gentle as water?

Xiang Liu: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and cannot bend my waist, so please excuse me from the ceremony."

The master of ceremonies was a little surprised and looked at Ye Chenshang.

But this was exactly what he wanted. "Then forget it. Come on, send the princess back to her room."

Just what I wanted! Great!

Xiangliu didn't want to get married at first, and she wanted to be as distant as possible, but the voice she heard was too familiar. She dropped the red silk and was about to raise her hands to lift the veil, but she was held by the hands by the maid and led down, so she had to give up.

On the way, Xiang Liu was absent-minded. She had often misheard other people's voices as Yin Congyun's. Just when she was wondering if she had heard it wrong this time, she smelled the scent of peach blossoms.

“Are there any peach blossoms around here?”

Her voice startled the maid, "Yes, it's the peach tree in the prince's peach garden."

There is a big peach tree in the peach orchard separated by a wall.

The similar voice and the same hobbies made Xiang Liu a little confused. She now wanted to investigate Ye Chenshang's background urgently.

The maid helped her to the bed and then left.

When Xiangliu heard the door closing, she couldn't wait to lift her veil, looked at the furnishings in the room, and wanted to go out.

There was no requirement for a wedding ceremony on the wedding day. Xiang Liu thought that Ye Chenshang was not that concerned about the marriage and probably would not come to her place. It was a good opportunity for her to come back after most people had gone out.

When I opened the door, there was a maid standing at the door.

The maid was very surprised, "Princess, why did you lift your veil yourself?"

She was very flustered at first, but after seeing Xiangliu's appearance, she was stunned.

Xiangliu didn't expect there was someone else, and was a little embarrassed, "What's your name?"

"Bai Ling."

The name is quite nice.

Thinking of this, Baibai ran out of the house and threw himself at Bai Ling's feet, liking her very much.

Bai Ling was instantly touched by the cuteness, but she didn't dare to touch Bai Bai without permission, "What a cute kitten! Princess...can I touch it?"

Xiangliu: "Okay."

Bai Ling squatted down and touched Baibai, but Baibai jumped onto her, so she had to hold it and get up.

Xiangliu had an idea at this time, "It likes you very much."

Bai Ling: "Really?"

Xiang Liu: "Well, I need to rest for a while, can you help me take care of it?"

Bai Ling was delighted, "Yes! Yes!"

"Then go ahead." Xiangliu smiled at her.

After sending away the only maid in the courtyard, Xiangliu returned to her room to change out of her red wedding dress. Baibai was indeed very understanding of human nature and helped a lot. However, this was the first person other than Xiangliu that he showed kindness to, so Bailing was no ordinary person either.

Xiangliu didn't care about all these now. She went out, found a low wall and climbed over it, not caring at all whether anyone would notice that she was missing.

In the front yard, Ye Chenshang was toasting everyone one by one, with a man and a woman beside him protecting him, blocking the wine for him, and supporting him.

There were some changes in the capital city. Xiangliu followed her memory and walked quickly to her destination - Yizihao.

The largest and most famous restaurant in the capital, it has six or seven stories high.

Xiangliu was familiar with the route and dodged people as she rushed all the way up to a room on the sixth floor.

The proprietress of No. 1 Shop was originally greeting other guests. When she saw a strange figure, she instructed the waiter, "Keep a close eye on them these days. Tell them that the master might come. Don't let unclean things bother the master."

"Yes!" Hearing that the master would come back, the waiter was delighted and jumped away.
