He made a finger hook gesture and winked to tease Gu Yuan.

Her eyes are moist, sparkling, full and lively. On weekdays, just using this pair of eyes to quietly look at others is enough to make people indulge in it.

Not to mention that when she blinks deliberately, her eyes ripple gently like the stars, so quirky and touching that it makes people's hearts soften.

Gu Yuan didn't have time to react.

Then I heard a majestic voice coming from above.

The one who spoke was the emperor: "If Princess Funing wants to go to Western Xinjiang to get married, the journey is long, Jiashan, I really can't bear to let her go.

You should stay in the capital with the third prince of Xijiang from now on, so that I won’t miss you for a long time without seeing you.”

Most of the Zhao officials were present in the palace, as well as several of the emperor's concubines and the empress dowager.

The seats were separated for men and women, but as the protagonist of this marriage, she and Gu Yuan were arranged to sit in the front row.

The eldest princess sitting below the emperor smiled and glanced at the not-so-young envoy from Western Frontier.

She never takes the lead in such occasions.

But the emperor had hinted so clearly, if she continued to play dumb, that would be too much.

"I wonder if the King of Xijiang would agree to let Gu Yuan stay in the capital of Zhao? We Zhao people love him very much."

The envoy from Western Xinjiang was an elderly man with a white beard. Although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were shrewd. He pondered for a second.

His eyes turned to Pei Chun, who was wearing the same red clothes as Gu Yuan.

After a brief pause, he spoke with a slight smile.

For some reason, Pei Chun actually felt a strange kindness.

“In order to demonstrate the peace between the two countries, when my king ascended the throne, he planned to let the Third Prince stay in Zhao until the time agreed upon by the previous king and Zhao expires.

Then bring the Third Prince and the future Princess back to Western Xinjiang."

Third Prince?

Pei Chun raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and put the dried fish on the table into his purse while thinking.

Before Gu Yuanren returned, the new King of Xijiang gave him the title of prince, because he was afraid that the people of Zhao would bully him.

It seems that he is a younger brother who will be good to Gu Yuan.

No wonder Gu Yuan faked his death and fled back to Western Xinjiang in his previous life, just to help the new King of Western Xinjiang expand his territory.

She was lost in thought and didn't notice that Gu Yuan on the opposite side had his eyes on her.

This time he finally stopped sideways and secretly glanced at her, but instead raised the teacup and openly fixed his gaze on her.

She was wearing the same bright red dress as him today, with a bulging purse around her waist.

She curled up the corners of her mouth in a sweet feeling, but after a moment, they fell back down.

If he hadn't heard about Duke Xin's affairs, he would never have forgiven her, huh!

God knows how jealous he has been these two days. They usually stick together, but why didn't she come to see him on these two days when he was angry?

Humph, do you want to coax him or not?

Pei Chun didn't notice Gu Yuan's eyes, but mechanically put the dried fish into his pocket.

At the same time, he was thinking about how the prince ascended the throne after the emperor's death in his previous life, and how he kept looking for capable people in the morning court to send troops to the western border.

As a result, they were beaten badly by Xijiang, and within a year, they captured ten cities of Zhao State...

And, well, in fact, she guessed today that Gu Yuan would definitely wear an extremely festive red dress.

That's why I deliberately cooperated and changed into a scarlet dress under my mother's all-seeing eyes.

It can be considered as a secret way of advertising.

"I don't know when the emperor plans to arrange the marriage of the two children."

The princess smiled and took the initiative to ask the emperor, wanting to throw the question to Xijiang.

It would be best if it were next year, when Mingcheng will be older.

The situation that Xuan Yan was worried about, such as the child is still young and pregnancy is harmful to the body, would not happen.

Sure enough, the emperor pondered for a while, and then, in order to demonstrate the magnanimity of Zhao as a great power, he turned his attention to the envoy from Western Xinjiang.

"It is Xijiang who is going to marry my Zhao princess. Let the envoy decide this matter."

Pei Chun ignored the answer given by the envoy from Western Xinjiang.

Instead, he turned his head and looked for Ding Ren.

This person made Daddy very angry yesterday. If she doesn't get back at him, she will really think that the Princess's Mansion is easy to bully.

On the other side, Ding Ren, dressed in official uniform, covered his mouth and talked in a low voice with a colleague of the same rank beside him.

From time to time, he stroked his beard and glanced at Pei Cui who was sitting in the distance, with a determined look on his face.

It looks quite pleasant.

Pei Chun, who saw all of this, narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and gave a look to his second brother who was sitting in the back as a background.

After remembering what Ding Ren was wearing today, Pei Chun slowly looked away.

I picked up a piece of dessert, put it in my mouth and took a bite. Hmm, it was worthy of being made in the imperial kitchen.

"Why not schedule it for the middle of the year? Princess Funing's coming of age ceremony is on May 6th. Schedule it for the middle of the year so we can wait until Princess Funing reaches adulthood before getting married.

In my opinion, June 5th is a good date. "The white beard of the Western Frontier envoy trembled slightly, and while he was speaking, his eyes inadvertently fell on Gu Yuan.

Obviously, they have already set a time for Xijiang.

There was a hint of surprise in the eldest princess' eyes. It was so fast.

Still no word of mediation.

Then the empress dowager finally took action and nodded to the emperor, indicating that the time was right.

When the emperor received the instructions, he immediately laughed and nodded to the envoy from Western Xinjiang and agreed.

The eldest princess was choking on what she was about to say, and for a long moment, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

The marriage of her children was used as a bargaining chip by the emperor and the empress dowager.

These two people really reach far...

Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor set the date for the two children's marriage.

He immediately brought up the topic that he had wanted to ask for a long time and discussed it with the envoy from Western Xinjiang.

The dinner was said to be for setting the wedding date for Pei Chun and Gu Yuan, but how could the entire evening be spent talking only about marriage?

In other words, talking about the time of marriage is just a side topic.

Soon, the hall became a banquet for exchanges between the two countries.

The banquet was already half over, and Pei Chun was full of food and wine.

She looked up with some boredom and saw Gu Yuan with his head down, thinking about something. She coughed.

Gu Yuan looked up in surprise, but saw Pei Chun secretly giving him a look while no one was paying attention.

Then, he calmly straightened his sleeves, stood up and walked outside.

It means waiting for him outside.

A hint of happiness flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He suppressed the rising corner of his mouth, and after the people left, he followed them out of the hall impatiently.

The stars were twinkling outside the palace, dim lanterns were hanging on the palace road, and the cobblestone path was not very dark.

Gu Yuan quickened his pace, and when he saw Pei Chun standing with his back to him beside the rockery, he subconsciously stopped and adjusted his hair.

After catching his breath, he slowly approached.

Pei Chun heard it clearly.

But she saw through it but didn't say anything. She turned around and looked at him with gentle eyes as he was about to take off.

She took the initiative to step forward and stuffed a bag of dried fish that she had just caught at the banquet into his palm.

Gu Yuan originally wanted to pretend for a while longer, to show that he was still angry and to express his attitude.

But the moment Pei Chun grabbed his hand, all the entanglement, discomfort, panic, anxiety, awkward and sour negative emotions of the past few days disappeared instantly.

Since when did he want to be with Mingcheng all the time?

Obviously, before now, just secretly watching her was enough to satisfy me.

In front of him, his beloved was wearing a red dress of the same color as him, with intricate patterns.

Their clothes overlapped and their fingers were tightly intertwined.

A smile flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes. He subconsciously bent down and stretched out his hand to pinch the outside of another pouch on her waist.

Sure enough, there was a comb inside the tightly wrapped purse.

Just like the jade hairpin he is wearing on his head today, they were made by hand and given to each other.

He thought to himself that Mingcheng still cared about him!

She even grabbed a handful of dried fish to coax him. In that case, then... just forgive her for looking at other people.

Pei Chun felt Gu Yuan's happy mood at that moment.

He looked up in slight surprise. She hadn't even coaxed him yet, so why was he suddenly so happy?

Is it because the date for the wedding has been set?

She doesn't quite understand.

But he still looked around, made sure there was no one nearby, and raised his hand to pull Gu Yuan into the gap in the rockery.

The gaps in the rockery are narrow, and it is difficult to accommodate two people.

If you want to squeeze in, you have to get very close.

As she leaned closer, her lips just reached Gu Yuan's collarbone. As she raised her head, her warm breath sprayed on his neck, making that small piece of skin red.

Itchy.

Gu Yuan wanted to reach out and grab him, but the rockery was too small. When he raised his hand, he wrapped Pei Chun in his arms instead.

Pei Chun blinked, and in this position, he buried his head in the hollow of his collarbone and put his arms around Gu Yuan's thin waist.

"Let me feel the Third Prince's body carefully, otherwise he will get jealous and twist his whole body." Because Gu Yuan's clothes were blocking her view, her tone was muffled.

But the content is humorous, just like a lecher.

She really wanted to laugh when she thought of Gu Yuan crying in anger that day.

Gu Yuan felt a little embarrassed and hugged her tightly, feeling the torment and discomfort from the wild thoughts of the past two days.

He didn't want Mingcheng to see other men's bodies.

He also didn't want to be separated from Mingcheng, so why couldn't they get married tomorrow!

I don’t know what Gu Yuan was thinking about, but his ears and cheeks turned red, and he looked like a cooked duck.

In Pei Chun's ear, she deliberately pinched her throat and seduced: "Ming Cheng... do you want to come and see my body tonight?"

Pei Chun didn't speak or move, just buried his head in his arms, as if he didn't hear anything.

Gu Yuan waited for a while...

After waiting for a while...

After a year of waiting...

His face gradually darkened, and he became angry and embarrassed: "I see Mingcheng is still thinking about the naked child that day, um..." His tone was sarcastic.

Pei Chun laughed out loud, leaning in Gu Yuan's arms, his whole body shaking with laughter.

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, she couldn't help but raise her hand, cover his mouth, and stare at him with her bright eyes.

"Not tonight, I have to go take care of someone!" Pei Chun explained, reaching out and pinching the hard gem hanging on Gu Yuan's forehead with some curiosity.

"Who?"

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking at a heartless man.
