Cypress Boat Floating

The reply from Shaoyang came quickly, and along with the letter came Princess Heya of Nanlin, the person in power during the vacation of King Gongyangbo of Nanlin, a woman that even Gongyang Junyu was afraid of.

Gongyang Heya arrived very quickly, in just two days, and appeared in Fengcheng on the third morning. It was said that they received the news from Gongyang Junyu that night and set out immediately.

Ye Jianqing had never seen this princess before. When they were in the cave, Gongyang Junyu praised his sister to the heavens and earth, saying that his sister was the most beautiful woman in Nanlin.

It turns out that Gongyang Junyu was a little bit reserved when praising his sister. Gongyang Heya is not only good-looking, but also very good-looking. Ye Jianqing dares to say that even among the modern stars, none is better looking than Gongyang Heya.

Gong Yangheya has a cool temperament. Her beautiful fox eyes look at people with dignity but not aggressiveness. When she stands there, you will feel that she is like a crescent moon, noble and cool, and can only be admired from a distance and not played with.

Gong Yang Heya has very fair skin, a graceful figure, and is well-dressed. She is calm and polite to others, neither arrogant nor impatient, and her every move reveals the temperament of a princess.

When seeing her, a poem by Du Fu suddenly emerged in Ye Jianqing's mind: She is graceful and kind, with delicate skin and even body.

Gongyang Bo had only one son and one daughter in his life, so he was very strict in educating both children, treating them as heirs, even the princesses could not escape. Moreover, Gongyang and Ya were really smart.

Not only did they need to study hard, but they also needed to respect and love each other and not hurt each other. But even if their parents educated them well, they still had bloodline suppression. Therefore, Gong Yangjun, who had been suppressed by his sister's bloodline since childhood, shuddered when he heard his sister's name.

As soon as he heard that Gongyang Heya was coming, Gongyang Junyu didn't even have breakfast. After washing up early in the morning, he waited at the door of the post station, eagerly waiting for Gongyang Heya to arrive.

Although he always said in front of Lu Ci Qiu that he and his sister didn't get along well, his eyes lit up when he saw Gong Yang and Ya's carriage. When the carriage arrived, he went forward and waited for Gong Yang and Ya to get off before it stopped.

Gong Yang He Ya helped him get off the carriage by the hand. He smiled as beautiful as a flower and wanted to go up to talk to his sister, but Gong Yang He Ya ignored him completely and walked straight to Lu Ci Shan and Lu Ci Qiu. When they saw the princess walking straight towards them, they bowed to Gong Yang He Ya and Gong Yang He Ya politely returned the greeting.

Afterwards, Gongyang Heya and Lu Cishan took Lu Ciqiu and Gongyang Junyu to the meeting room of the post station.

Lu Cishan and Gongyang Heya walked in front, while Lu Ciqiu and Gongyang Junyu followed behind and whispered to each other.

"Why is your sister here?" This was the first time Lu Ci Qiu met Gongyang Heya, but it was not the first time he heard of Gongyang Heya. During the days in the cave, Gongyang Junyu also told them some things about his sister, but Gongyang Heya left a very good impression on him, as if she was not the same person as Gongyang Junyu said.

Gongyang Junyu snapped open the folding fan in his hand and said in a solemn tone: "Is the reason why my sister came here this time..."

"Could it be something?" Lu Ci Qiu thought he knew something and asked.

"For me." Gong Yang Junyu raised his head proudly.

Hearing Gong Yangjunyu's annoying words, Lu Ciqiu was stunned for a moment, bit his lower lip and clenched his fists. If there were no other people around, he would definitely press him to the ground. Sure enough, listening to him talk was a waste of time. Lu Ciqiu rolled his eyes and decided that from now on he would never waste time talking to him again. It was too annoying.

Gongyang Junyu obviously didn't know that Lu Ci Qiu had just made such an important decision. Seeing that Lu Ci Qiu stopped talking, he nudged him with his arm and asked him why he stopped talking.

Lu Ci Qiu looked up as if to say, "Do you think I want to pay attention to you?" Then he left him and walked quickly forward, catching up with the two people in front, leaving Gong Yang Junyu alone behind, confused.

After the four of them sat down in the conference room, Gong Yangheya spoke about the purpose of her visit.

It turned out that since Gongyang Junyu disappeared, Gongyang Bo fell ill, and Gongyang Heya took charge of the entire country alone. During this period, Gongyang Heya also found out some reasons about Gongyang Junyu's disappearance. After discussion between the father and daughter, they decided to give up their throne to Gongyang Junyu after he returned.

But Gongyang Junyu has not been found yet, and it is useless to talk about it now. We have to wait until he is found before we can tell the details. During this period, the emperor of Da'an wrote a letter saying that he suspected that this was done by the people of the desert in order to sow discord between the two countries.

Now that the person has not been found, even if Nanlin and Da'an know that it was Damo who did it, they have no evidence. So Emperor Da'an suggested to them that Lu Cishan be asked to investigate, and at the same time the two countries put on a show for Damo to make Damo mistakenly believe that the relationship between the two countries is indeed a bit strained because of this incident, so as to lure the snake out of its hole and see what other moves they will make.

Gongyang Bo had few children, so he needed someone to help Gongyang Junyu. He also didn't want Gongyang Heya to work so hard. Based on his trust in Da'an, he informed Emperor Da'an that he was going to give up the throne to Gongyang Junyu, and also proposed a marriage alliance with Da'an.

If Gongyang Junyu ascends the throne, he will let the prince who comes to Nanlin to assist marry Gongyang Heya.

Therefore, Lu Cishan did not come to Nanlin just to be a hostage. On the surface, Lu Cishan was here as a hostage, but in fact, Lu Cishan stayed in Nanlin to assist Gongyang Junyu to ascend to the throne and meet his future bride.

If Gongyang Junyu does a good job in this mountain-opening event and leaves others speechless, Gongyang Bo will retire after he returns and he will be in charge of state affairs. After two years when he is sure that there is no problem, he will formally abdicate.

During this process, Gongyang Heya will assist throughout to ensure the smooth completion of the mountain excavation.

Therefore, this time when diverting the river into the sea, Gongyang Junyu must be determined and must do it well. Gongyang Heyaben trusted his brother very much, but was afraid that the people from the enemy country would attack Gongyang Junyu again. Finally, he could no longer sit still in the palace, so he brought a large group of people to protect Gongyang Junyu.

Lu Cishan would indeed have to stay in Nanlin for a few years, and during these years, although he was protected by the Nanlin Palace, they could not be sure that Da Mo would not dare to attack him again, so Lu Ci Qiu was still deeply worried about this.

But Gong Yang He Ya said jokingly: "After my brother ascends the throne, the Seventh Prince will be the Prince Consort. During this period of time, with me here, naturally no one will harm the future Prince Consort."

Gong Yang and Yada were very open about it, but Lu Cishan's ears turned red.

Lu Ci Qiu glanced at him. He also knew that although it would be dangerous for Lu Ci Qiu to stay here, it was better than going back to Da'an.

According to his memory, Daan would not be able to rest in peace from now on, and it would be good if he could get out of this situation early. Even though his mind told him this, he was still reluctant to let go.

"You wrote saying that people from the desert were hunting you. Actually, we have all guessed it. The desert wants to see us kill each other, so your father sent the Seventh Prince here. Because you, the Eighth Prince, are also involved in this matter, I shouldn't have told you, but I know that you have a good relationship with the Seventh Prince, and you are also the main planner of the water diversion. Before you came, my father told me that I could let you know, so I told you about this matter, but this matter is a secret after all, I hope you can keep it a secret." Gong Yang Heya sat upright in a chair, looked into Lu Ci Qiu's eyes and said seriously.

Lu Ci Qiu nodded. He naturally knew this. If the people in the desert knew the purpose of Lu Cishan's visit, Lu Cishan would be even less safe in Nanlin in the future.

Gongyang Heya told them the whole story, and after discussing the matter of excavating the mountain with them, he took Gongyang Junyu back to the courtyard.

She still had a lot of things to discuss with her brother, so Lu Ci Qiu and the others naturally didn't want to keep her.

Returning to Gongyang Junyu's room in the courtyard, Gongyang Heya closed the door and asked the servants to leave. Before Gongyang Junyu could react, Gongyang Heya slapped him in the face.

"You little brat, why are you running around? Do you know how worried everyone is about you? Don't you bring guards with you when you go out? Do you know how worried I was about you when I found out you were missing? Why are you trying to show off by yourself? Do you think you are so good at martial arts?" Gong Yang Heya cursed him while beating him.

But Gongyang Junyu could tell that her voice was gradually becoming tearful.

Gong Yang Junyu never liked to make the atmosphere so heavy, and he didn't want to see his sister cry. His sister was always a very strong woman, so he jumped up and down in the room, covering the place where he was hit in a funny way, shouting "Sister, good sister, how could you bear to hit me?"

When Gongyang and Ya were tired of fighting, they finally remembered their identities as princesses. They sat on the chair and looked at their brother who was far away from them with a cold face.

"Come here!" Gong Yang Heya said in a bad tone.

When Gongyang Junyu heard his sister's tone, he dared not refute. He quickly walked up to his sister and knelt down out of habit.

"Sister, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not good to make yourself angry." Gongyang Junyu was like a naughty little boy in front of his sister, saying witty words to comfort her.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you these days?" Gong Yang Heya was so angry that he poked his forehead with his finger.

Gongyang Junyu rubbed his painful forehead and was about to sit on the ground with a wronged look on his face. However, before his buttocks even touched the ground, Gongyang Heya called him to sit on the chair.

"As a prince of a country, how can you sit on the ground?"

Gongyang Junyu smiled, patted his butt and stood up, moved closer to his sister, and hugged her hand: "I know that the emperor sister is the best, and she doesn't want me to suffer."

"Stop making trouble, sit down and talk properly." Gong Yangheya slapped his hand that was around her away.

Seeing his brother like that, although he wanted to laugh, he held it back and looked at him with a deliberately cold face. But Gongyang Junyu, who grew up with Gongyang Heya, knew his sister's temper. Seeing her like this, he knew that she must have forgiven him.

After Gongyang Junyu sat down, he told Gongyang Heya everything that happened before and after his disappearance.

When he finished speaking, Gong Yang He Ya slapped the table in anger: "Da Mo, do you really think that there is no one in my Nan Lin? How dare you bully the Crown Prince of Nan Lin."

"Sister, why did Da Mo know that I would go to dig the mountain with Lu Ci Qiu this time?" As soon as he talked about business, Gongyang Junyu put away his playful nature and looked at Gongyang Heya with a serious face.

Gong Yang He Ya frowned and said, "You mean that Da Mo has planted spies among us?"

Gong Yangjunyu said: "If it's not our side, then it's Daan's side."

"But the situation in the desert will definitely not calm down easily. That's why I have to come here. At least someone will protect you if I come here."

Gongyang Junyu thought about it, looked at his sister in confusion and said, "But, sister, if Damo has another trick up his sleeve and you come, won't we be caught in one fell swoop?"

Gong Yanghe Ya suddenly felt her teeth and hands itching and wanted to hit someone to vent her anger. In this life, no one else could easily make her angry except her unlucky brother.

"Do you think I would be that stupid?" Gong Yangheya bit his molars and spoke word by word.

Gongyang Junyu quickly shook his head. What a joke! His sister was about to kill someone, how could he dare to continue talking?

"I brought some secret guards with me this time, and they will be by your side to protect you at all times. Also, although Da'an has asked Lu Cishan to assist, whether you ascend the throne or not is our Nanlin family's own business. We cannot rely on him or depend on him completely. It's better to be on guard against this person."

"I understand." When it comes to national affairs, Gongyang Junyu knows better than anyone else.

Although Daan and Nanlin are friendly countries, if Daan has any evil intentions, the two years when he is in power is the best time to act. So Lu Cishan must be guarded against, even if he may become his brother-in-law in the future.

"By the way, sister, are you really going to marry the Seventh Prince?" He had only heard from her today about the marriage between Gong Yang and Ya.

Gong Yang and Ya nodded: "We must have a connection with Da'an. The Seventh Prince is the prince of the Imperial Concubine. I have also investigated. He is a good man and a gentleman, so marrying him is not a bad thing."

Gongyang Junyu frowned. He and his sister grew up together. He didn't want his sister to sacrifice her love for the country. He wanted his sister to marry someone who loved her and whom she also loved.

"Royal sister, if you don't want to get married, you don't have to." Gong Yang Junyu grabbed her hand, looked into her eyes, and said sincerely: "Although Nanlin is not big, we also have our own advantages. It is not so easy for Da'an to beat us. So, if you don't want to get married, I won't let you marry there."

Gongyang Heya smiled and pulled out her hand, instead holding Gongyang Junyu's hand in her palm. Her hand was much smaller than Gongyang Junyu's. Looking at the two people's heavy hands, she felt that her brother had grown up enough to protect himself, but she did not want to embarrass him, nor did she want to embarrass her father.

As a princess, she enjoyed the honor of Nanlin. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all provided by Nanlin. She had extremely high power because she was the princess of Nanlin. Therefore, she also had the obligation and responsibility to stand up and take responsibility for Nanlin when Nanlin was attacked from all sides.

No one who grew up in that palace had an easy life.
