Chapter 164: Such a Tough Girl

Although the emperor and the queen looked extremely ugly, and the prince of Shu looked equally cold, Ye Qingcheng obviously didn't care.

I don't know if it's because she's always been willful, or if there's some other reason, she doesn't seem to care about the result of the marriage between the two countries at all, and it seems that the life and death of Shu has nothing to do with her - of course, the truce between the two countries has only been over a year, and at this time they are both holding the idea of ​​living in peace, so naturally they won't turn against each other because of the princess's willfulness, and won't let Shu fall into danger.

But as a princess of a country, her words and deeds are really not in line with the rules, so that the prince of Shu feels that he has lost face in front of the emperor of the Great Zhou, and the emperor and queen of the Great Zhou are deeply provoked by the princess.

Before the palace banquet was over, Ye Qingcheng took the initiative to invite Nan Xi: "The palace banquet is boring, I'm almost suffocating sitting here, can the princess go out with me?"

Nan Xi turned to look at Rong Yu, and Rong Yu nodded.

So Nan Xi smiled at Ye Qingcheng: "Let's go."

"Ye Qingcheng." Ye Yan's face was as cold as ice, "You——"

"Brother, please be patient." Ye Qingcheng stood up from her seat and smiled casually, "The diplomatic relations between two countries are based on the word 'diplomatic'. My sister is on good terms with the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Isn't it indirectly coaxing the Regent King? Once the Regent King is happy, he will naturally not send troops to Shu Kingdom in the future. My sister is also thinking about Shu Kingdom."

After that, regardless of Ye Yan's expression, she left her seat, bowed to the Emperor and Empress, and turned to walk out.

"The Queen Mother has been talking about the Regent Princess these two days. Since the princess is bored, why not accompany the Princess to the Queen Mother's palace for a walk and talk to the Queen Mother for a while, so that the Queen Mother won't miss her." The Emperor's calm and majestic voice came from behind, "After the palace banquet is over, it won't be too late for the Emperor's uncle to pick up the Emperor's aunt from the palace."

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

In front of all the ministers, His Majesty accused her of not visiting the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager for several days after her marriage, being arrogant and disrespectful, and "ordered" her to pay respects to the Empress Dowager at this time?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Nan Xi nodded gently, smiled calmly and said goodbye, "I will take the princess to Ci'an Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

As she turned around, she gave Rong Yu a soothing look, and turned around and walked out with Ye Qingcheng.

There was a pin drop silence in the hall. After His Majesty said that, he lowered his head and drank, hiding all the emotions in his eyes.

Ye Yan's expression was always gloomy and ugly. He deeply felt that the majesty of the prince of Shu was challenged, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Qingcheng in his heart, but at this time in front of the monarch and ministers of the Great Zhou, he really didn't want to lose his demeanor, so he had to hold back the anger in his heart and watched Ye Qingcheng leave as if no one was around.

Walking outside the hall, it seemed that even the air was much fresher.

The palace banquet had not yet ended. The two were not in a hurry to leave the palace. Now they had to go to Ci'an Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, so they could only stay in the palace.

When they walked outside the Daqing Palace, a palace servant led the way with a lamp and lowered his head.

Yin Yue and Yin Shuang still followed Nan Xi like shadows.

The inner courtyards of the palace, pavilions, corridors and towers were all luxurious and beautiful.

"This princess came all the way to the territory of Da Zhou, not to be a concubine of your emperor, to pay respects to the Queen Mother?" Ye Qingcheng's voice was soft and pleasant, revealing a bit of careless laziness, "If it wasn't for you, this princess would not be interested in paying respects to an old woman."

"Don't worry." Nan Xi's tone was equally leisurely, "You may not even see the Queen Mother."

Hmm?

Ye Qingcheng was such a smart girl. She was only slightly stunned after hearing this, but soon understood what she meant: "The Queen Mother wouldn't be stupid enough to embarrass you, right?"

"The Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the Great Zhou. It's not normal to embarrass a little girl you don't like?" Nan Xi smiled lightly, "But maybe this shouldn't be called embarrassment, but the person being embarrassed is asking for it. The Queen Mother is just teaching others what the rules are."

Ye Qingcheng sneered: "Stupid woman."

Nan Xi raised an eyebrow: "Scold me?"

"Scold the Queen Mother." Ye Qingcheng said bluntly, not worried about being heard by the palace people, "Even the monarchs and ministers of Shu know the status of the Regent of the Great Zhou in the Great Zhou, but the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Great Zhou don't realize it. What else can they be but idiots?"

Nan Xi smiled quietly.

Yes, even the monarchs and ministers of the enemy country know Rong Yu's ability and his importance to the Great Zhou, but the Queen Mother and the Emperor only see the threat of the Regent to them.

"Princess, you just said that you are not here to be the emperor's concubine?" Nan Xi smiled faintly, "Since it is a marriage alliance, you should naturally marry the emperor as a concubine. I saw that His Majesty the Emperor seemed very satisfied with you and wanted you to enter the harem, but the Queen didn't seem to be willing to do so."

"Of course she is not willing to do so." Ye Qingcheng smiled lightly with a hint of sarcasm, "If this princess enters this harem, it will definitely cause chaos in the world and make her position as the queen unstable."

After a pause, a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, "As for the emperor... he is just a pervert. He likes this princess, but it doesn't mean that this princess has to like him."

She is a woman with a temper.

Nan Xi smiled faintly.

"This princess will live in the Regent's Mansion for the next two days. After Ye Yan and the Shu envoy leave, this princess will probably leave Da Zhou. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you and the Regent."

"I'm not afraid that the princess will cause trouble for me." Nan Xi was just a little curious, "What is the princess doing here?"

"I came for a coward."

Coward?

Nan Xi was puzzled, "Who?"

Ye Qingcheng's eyes were cold: "A coward who fled without fighting. When I catch him, I will cripple his limbs, tie him up with iron chains, and let him taste the torture."

Nan Xi: "..." What a tough girl.

Ye Qingcheng tilted her head: "Are you scared?"

"No." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "It's just that the Great Zhou has a strong military force. After the prince and envoys of Shu leave, the princess will be left alone in the Great Zhou. It should not be easy to leave."

"The Great Zhou Imperial City can't trap this princess." Ye Qingcheng said lightly, "Don't worry, your regent will not embarrass this princess."

This statement is a bit misleading.

But Nan Xi didn't care, and chatted with her: "Your Highness Princess has known Rong Yu for a long time?"

"No."

Don't know?

Nan Xi tilted her head to look at her, and couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Since the princess doesn't know the regent of the Great Zhou, how can you be sure that he won't embarrass you? And the tone of the princess's tone when she mentioned the regent just now seemed to indicate that she knew him quite well."
