Chapter 703: The Imperial Banquet
“This is Lady Chaoyan.” Muyi replied with a tone of admiration.
Then he introduced Jian Yuxing…
Muyi asked concernedly. “Lady Chaoyan, the Saint Divine Land and the North Qi Land have established a marriage alliance… what should we do about it?”
Jian Yuxing looked at Gu Chaoyan curiously, then he looked at Muyi.
He just did not understand why a prince of the Feather Mulberry Land would turn to a lady of the Saint Divine Land for the issue of a marriage alliance. Could this lady be someone special?
He took one more look at Gu Chaoyan and suddenly found that she was familiar.
“You are the lady from the imperial pitch!” Jian Yuxing stated curiously. Then he looked at Gu Chaoyan and said even more certainly, “It is you! Lord Ling and the Prince from North Qi wanted to speak with you, but…”
Jian Yuxing did not continue.
Gu Chaoyan suddenly remembered something as well. She seemed to remember that she met Zhou Huailing and the prince from the North Qi Land the other day.
Now Gu Chaoyan suddenly seemed to have understood something. Could she have played a certain role in this game?
Gu Chaoyan was feeling quite confused, but Prince Muyi did not care. Instead, he said anxiously, “What should we do? The whole land will turn chaotic if it continues to go on in this way. I think I will skip the Spring Hunt and return to the Feather Mulberry Land for some strategic solutions.”
The Feather Mulberry Land was the weakest land among the four countries, so he was the most worried one of all.
Gu Chaoyan served them tea and said calmly, “Don’t worry, the world will become chaotic sooner or later, but not right now. You can wait until the Spring Hunt.”
“Really?” Prince Muyi asked.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Well… At least the King would not do anything before Destiny Monk was found. And even if Destiny Monk was found, he had to make sure that the Phoenix Girl would actually be useful.
And Gu Ruxue… Was she the real Phoenix Girl? What could she do? Gu Chaoyan did not think that she could do anything. Therefore, nothing big would happen yet.
“But you have to be cautious as well, because some things will happen these days.” Gu Chaoyan sighed, “You better not visit me too often these days, or people will talk.”
Muyi nodded, then Gu Chaoyan added some more suggestions.
Only at this time did Muyi and Jian Yuxing leave together.
After they left the mansion, Muyi said to Jian Yuxing. “Don’t worry, Brother Yuxing.”
Jian Yuxing had been very confused from the beginning.
“Prince Muyi, why do you trust her?” Jian Yuxing asked confusedly.
“I trust her.” Prince Muyi had his own reason, but he did not know where to start, so he just put it briefly.
Jian Yuxing left for the hotel quietly.
From that day on… People, including those from the court and civilians were complaining about the marriage alliance. The Saint Divine Land was marrying off their princess, and was staining their own reputation. The Saint Divine Land was a huge land so why should they do anything so stupid.
For a moment, they just did not understand what was going on.
Chu Tian, the Prime Minister, asked about this in the Qianqing Palace before, but he got no answer. The King just kept his mouth sealed regarding this matter.
It was not until it was time for the Imperial Banquet that the topic of the marriage alliance faded away.
As for the Imperial Banquet…
The imperial children, as well as the princes, amba.s.sadors of the four countries and the important ministers were all invited for the banquet.
“Elder Miss, what are you wearing for the Banquet?” Sword One asked worriedly, “You are definitely going to run into Gu Ruxue then!”
