Chapter 224 The Secret
"In this way, you are wronged by my side." Feng Xihe sighed in her heart. Previously, she had always guessed that Yuanying should come from a scholarly family.

However, she did not expect that Yuan Ying and Gu Fan were Situ Zhang's daughters.

Yuanying shook his head and said, "No, since the Situ family disappeared, the three of us sisters had to cover up when we met people. It wasn't until these few years that things got better."

"We are no longer Miss Qianjin. What's more, Wangfei, you have never treated me as a servant."

"Get up." Feng Xihe helped Yuanying to sit down, looked at her directly and said, "Until your grievance is cleared up, you must not mention this matter to others."

"It's natural." For so many years, Yuanying has long made himself a boring gourd with a sawn mouth in order to avoid leaking.

Feng Xihe lowered his eyes, thinking over and over again what Yuanying said just now.

"Yuanying, let me ask you, do you know what happened to Empress Xi?"

Yuanying pondered and said: "We were too young back then and didn't know much about the affairs in the palace. I heard that Empress Concubine Xi was assassinated and died shortly after this incident, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince was also broken by the assassin's tendon."

"However, it is too strange for Empress Xi to be involved in this incident, and to meet the assassin just after the incident."

Feng Xihe's face turned pale, which also confirmed her previous thought that Concubine Xi's death was indeed hidden.

If she guessed right, Emperor Changde sent someone to fight on his behalf because of the sudden change in the palace, and he himself was busy going back to deal with the matter.

If it was about witchcraft, it happened without Emperor Changde's knowledge, and Emperor Changde had a deep affection for the former empress.After Emperor Changde returned to the palace, Concubine Xi must be punished first.

Then, she thought that Concubine Xi was Gu Jincheng's biological mother, so Gu Jincheng must have known about such a big incident.

As a result, Gu Jincheng wanted to become the master of the East Palace by any means. In his past and present lives, he wanted to use her as a medicine guide, and there may be another purpose.

The rain outside the window kept falling, Feng Xi and Xu Xu raised their eyes, only to feel that some things were indeed beyond her control.

*
Early the next morning, the gates of Jinling City were filled with orderly guards.

The ground was paved with bright red carpets, and gorgeous cars lined up from the entrance of the palace to the city gate.

Gu Jinnian has led all the civil and military officials to the city gate to greet him.

The people were scattered to both sides by the Praetorian Guards to make room for the middle road.

In the private rooms of the teahouses on the roadside, there were many famous ladies hiding in them, and they couldn't restrain their curiosity, they wanted to come to see the appearance of the Hua Guo Mission.

Feng Xihe was also sitting quietly in the teahouse, drinking tea.

"Princess, Chen Fuli is indeed here." After a while, Yuanying came to Feng Xihe's side, and pointed to Chen Fuli who was among the crowd watching on the street.

Feng Xihe nodded slightly and didn't say any more.

Her eyes scanned the street, and from her angle, she could see a carriage around the corner.

Yun Changyi was pushed into a hurry, and it was really seamless.

Feng Xihe planned to stay still for the time being, let's see what Yun Changyi would do first.

Not long after, I only heard the noise from the crowd below. It turned out that the Chinese mission had already entered the city gate.

Feng Xihe looked around and saw a row of guards sitting on snow-colored pommel horses. The guards' clothes were made of high-quality materials, and the sabers around their waists were also made of black iron.

Sitting in the teahouse, several daughters of rich gold have already started whispering.

"It turns out that they are people from Huaguo. I thought they looked different from people from our side."

"That's right, I really don't understand, since they all look the same, why did the war between Huaguo and Ningguo last forever."

……

While they were discussing, several splendid canopy carriages drove in slowly. Countless gemstones were inlaid on the carriages, exuding dazzling brilliance, confusing everyone's eyes, as if they were deliberately driving with Ningguo's carriage. Compete.

One of them walked around the canopy carriage at the front, with tassels hanging down, making the face of the man in the carriage faintly visible.

After being introduced by the envoy, everyone learned that it was Yu Wenhao, His Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor of Huaguo.

The envoys of the two countries stepped forward to greet each other.

After a while, there was a shocking sound on the flat ground, and everyone covered their ears unexpectedly, thinking that something had happened.

But I saw colorful fireworks blooming in the sky one by one.

Fireworks are always suitable for blooming at night, and this kind of fireworks can not only be so gorgeous in the daytime, but also change into different shapes in the sky, against the blue sky and white clouds.

The fireworks danced in the air for a while, and then turned into a rain of flowers, floating down with the wind.

When the rain of flowers brushed over everyone's cheeks, they could still smell a quiet fragrance.

Hua Guo's envoys and guards were all stunned, they had never seen such fireworks before, and even Yu Wenhao in the carriage couldn't help clapping their hands and expressing their praise.

Yun Changyi had already got off the carriage and walked into the crowd on the side of the road without anyone noticing. She looked at the cars in the middle of the road with her lips slightly raised.

"Yuanying!" Feng Xihe called out, Yuanying immediately left the teahouse after hearing this, sneaked into the crowd, and walked to Chen Fuli's side.

Feng Xihe looked at Yun Changyi in the crowd, picked up the tea cup casually, and took a sip.

The envoy of the Hua Kingdom turned his gaze away from the fireworks and asked Gu Jinnian, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, who is the person who prepared these fireworks?"

"It's just a little girl, it's nothing to worry about." Gu Jinnian bowed his hands and said with a smile, his Changyi really surprises him every time, and this time, it made him even more face-saving.

"A little girl?" Yu Wenhao, who was in the carriage, said suspiciously: "You might not be able to find a few of such smart girls in the whole world. How can you say they are little girls?"

"Third Prince, you are too modest. If you have the opportunity, you should let me meet the little girl you are talking about."

Gu Jinnian said perfunctorily: "If there is a chance, I will definitely recommend it."

Yu Wenhao seemed satisfied, and then he said: "I also heard that there is a stunning beauty in Ningguo named Yun Changyi. If possible, I would like to meet these two girls together."

Gu Jinnian's face was slightly embarrassed, but he said it was all right.

His heart was sore, now that Yun Changyi finally belonged to him alone, how could he let Yu Wenhao see her.

But Yun Changyi in the crowd didn't think so, seeing Yu Wenhao becoming interested in her, this was a good start.

The Hua Guo envoy echoed Yu Wenhao's words and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince, what our Highness said is true. If your country has such beautiful jade, it should be presented to the world instead of being hidden."

Gu Jinnian sat on the horse, maintaining an unnatural smile.

"Don't say that." Then, in order to change the subject, he looked at Huaguo's car, "I never thought that your country would not hesitate to decorate the car with the most beautiful gemstones in the world. Presumably, the soul of your country There are not a few people who are dexterous."

It was originally a polite remark, but he didn't want to. After hearing this, Hua Guo's envoy chuckled, "Hua Guo's wealth is abundant and the people are rich. It's not surprising that there are only a few precious stones."

"On the contrary, I heard that your country has suffered from natural and man-made disasters in recent years, so that the rulers and ministers, as well as the common people, have to cut down on food and clothing. It really makes me feel very sad."

Gu Jinnian almost couldn't hold back his face, he forced a smile, and turned his eyes to the other ministers around him for help.

However, before the others had time to speak, a woman's voice that sounded like a bird's cry slowly came out.

"My lord's words are wrong." Yun Changyi was dressed in splendid clothes and pulled up a cloak made of Hangzhou silk. His complexion was alluring, ethereal like a fairy, as if walking from the clouds, and everyone's eyes were aroused. There was no way to move away from her again.

The imperial guards were dazed, and for a moment, they forgot to stop her.

"Natural disasters are unavoidable, but this man-made disaster has never happened before, so where do we start?"

"But even if it is a natural disaster, I am united as one, do my best, offer suggestions, donate money, and contribute to overcome the difficulties. Doesn't this prove that my dynasty is indestructible?"

"In addition, His Majesty has implemented the policy of recuperation for a long time. Most of the people have survived the catastrophe, and even continue to help areas in need of rescue."

Yun Changyi stepped forward, turned towards Yu Wenhao's direction, and bowed his knees.

Then, she blessed the other ministers, pointed to a charitable hall at the corner of the street, and said in detail: "This charitable hall was built by His Majesty himself. For such a long time, the number of people who have come to donate money has become more and more There are more and more of them, not only wealthy businessmen, but also ordinary people.”

"So, in my opinion, our court did not cut back on clothing and food because we could not make ends meet, but advocated a thrifty folk custom throughout the country, and encouraged the monarchs, ministers and common people to use their money wisely."

At the end of the sentence, the officials who followed Gu Jinqian were a little surprised. They all thought that Yun Changyi had disappeared, so why did he suddenly appear at the gate of the city today, and dared to confront the envoys of the Hua Kingdom boldly.

The Hua Guo Mission was very surprised, only to feel that the woman who appeared in front of them not only had the beauty of a fairy, but also had extraordinary courage and intelligence.

The Chinese envoy's face darkened, and he wanted to continue to argue, but Yu Wenhao in the carriage had already clapped his hands, stopping his next words.

"Girl, who are you?"

"The daughter of the people, Yun Changyi, sees His Royal Highness, the Emperor's eldest grandson." Yun Changyi smiled sweetly, and lotus sprouted with every step.

"You are Yun Changyi?" Yu Wenhao picked up the tassels on the front of the carriage with his hand, and glanced slightly, but his eyes sank when he saw that alluring face.

With this kick, all the daughters in the teahouse poked their heads out, and when they saw Yu Wenhao's appearance, they all let out a "wow", astonished.

Feng Xihe looked over, and put the teacup in his hand on the table.

Isn't this the inexplicable son she saw in Luzhai a few days ago, how did she suddenly become His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Hua Kingdom?
