At that time, his Shangguan family's face would be trampled on until nothing was left, and he would become the laughingstock of the entire East County.
The great hall once again fell into an uncontrollable silence.
Everyone looked at Bai Zhixi, waiting for her to continue.
"Xi Er thanks the Emperor for his love! However, Xi Er had only just met the royal father, so of course she would want to stay by his side to show her filial piety. As for the matter of the marriage, Xi Er has yet to come to a conclusion. "
Under the gazes of everyone present, Bai Zhixi knelt on the ice-cold ground and said indifferently.
But, it could also be considered to have subtly rejected Dong Aoqing's idea of marriage.
"Princess Xi, are you looking down on the Eastern Prince?"
Dong Aoqing took a step forward, and looked down at Bai Zhixi from above, a cold killing intent flashed past his unfathomable eyes, and he asked coldly with a light, almost indiscernible rage.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Since my sister just found out about my background, she must still be happy. Naturally, she wants to be with her family. With regards to the marriage, once I return to the Southern Frontier, I will definitely report it to the royal father. After all, marriage had always been the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker. As the only princess of one of the great nations in the center of Southern Frontier, Xi Er, naturally, has to look for the best candidate for her marriage, something that no one can force their way through. "
Nangong Xuan stood in front of Dong Aoqing and raised his head as he spoke calmly. His voice was as cold as a gust of cold wind that blew into every heart in the hall.
At this time, the crowd looked at the Crown Prince Southern Frontier with his playboy engraved on it. His body was emitting a king's aura that could not be underestimated, and it pounced on everyone, suppressing them.
This was perhaps the true imposing manner that he should have as the master of a Southern Frontier.
"You .."
"royal father, the Southern Frontier Crown Prince is right. Princess Xi had just found a family member, if they were to discuss marriage now, she would definitely be reluctant to part with it. Moreover, Princess Xi will only be able to reach the seedling in a few months. This son is willing to wait for Princess Xi.
Dongfang Chen looked at his own royal father that was about to explode with anger, and suddenly took a step forward to ease the tense and murderous atmosphere.
But his words were like a thunderclap that struck the hearts of everyone present.
The person that the Eastern County's crown prince liked was actually Bai Zhixi, and not the Shangguan Jingyan that went through life and death with him, the person who gathered all of his beauty and talent.
Is the capital going to change?
"Crown Prince, I .."
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi suddenly stood up, trying to explain, but she did not expect to see Dongfang Chen winking at her, as if he was trying to help her.
She understood immediately and stopped talking.
After all, she knew what Dongfang Chen was thinking, and did not expect him to say it in front of everyone's eyes.
In that case, what about Jing Yan?
As a friend, she had always hoped for Shangguan Jingyan to be happy and never thought of fighting with her for a man.
"Since this is the case, wait until the day of Princess Xi's marriage. My country will definitely offer you the gift of marriage."
Dong Aoqing coldly glanced at Bai Zhixi, and said indifferently.
"Thank you, your majesty!"
Hearing this, Nangong Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly kneeled to show his gratitude.
Then, without even turning his head, he brought Bai Zhixi and left the place to shout at the imperial palace.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west of the palace. The golden sunlight casually shone on the yellow roof, making it seem as if there was a layer of soft golden light shining on it. It was so beautiful that one could not tear their eyes away from it.
However, Bai Zhixi didn't have the heart to appreciate it. She only wanted to leave this oppressive place as soon as possible.
"Xi Er, let's go!"
At the eastern entrance of the capital, in the market that led to the outside world, a carriage quietly stopped there. The area was surrounded by civilians. A group of well-organized and well-trained soldiers were holding them in place as they pushed their way through.
A hand that was like an onion lifted up the curtain, looking at the scene outside with reluctance.
Soon after, a low and gentle voice came from inside. Only then did the hand slowly lower the curtain, isolating everything outside.
"The crown prince has given the order to set off!"
Following the orders given by the leader of the guard, the large group slowly walked out of capital.
"I never thought that Bai Zhixi would actually be a princess of Southern Frontier, it's truly unbelievable!"
".."
"Shh, lower your voice. To talk about princesses, you have to kill them."
Seeing that the convoy had left, the commoners at the city gate immediately boiled over, and whispered to each other about the changes that occurred in these few months of capital.
"Nangong Xuan, why did you have to put on such a big fight! Afraid that others don't know? "
Bai Zhixi leaned on the soft spot, slanted, and did not look like a girl from a noble family at all.
After she asked, seeing that Nangong Xuan did not answer, she kicked his leg roughly, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Bai Zhixi, what are you doing? Are you still a woman? "Be careful not to get married."
Just as Nangong Xuan wanted to captivate the beauty and wake her up with a kick from Bai Zhixi, she carefully rubbed her sore spot and roared at Bai Zhixi.
"There's no need for you to worry. Didn't you see how Dongfang Chen was interested in me just now? You should worry about yourself! "
Bai Zhixi rolled his eyes at him and said hatefully.
Thinking about what Dongfang Chen said in the hall, she felt a headache. Her heart felt heavy, like a huge rock pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
However, he was also secretly worried. If Shangguan Jingyan knew what Dongfang Chen was thinking, how would they get along? Could he and Shangguan Jingyan still be together like sisters?
Nangong Xuan, who was sitting opposite to her, saw the endless changes on her face. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Thinking about what Dongfang Chen had said, he frowned. He didn't know how to comfort Bai Zhixi.
He knew that his little sister hadn't forgotten the person who had hurt her the most.
"Xi Er, don't worry. When you have enough, royal father will definitely not force you to marry someone you do not love. You can rest assured. Our Southern Frontier has been strong these past few years, and we don't fear anyone. If you do not want to marry, then stay in the Imperial Palace for the rest of your life.
Nangong Xuan leaned his head against Bai Zhixi's shoulder, the happiness in his voice unconcealable.
This time, when he found Xi Er, royal father would definitely not force him to go to Prime Minister Qin's daughter again.
Furthermore, with Xi Er accompanying him, the royal father would definitely not be in the mood to care about him. He would never have to worry about being caught again.
Perhaps because he was too engrossed in his thoughts, an evil smile leaked out of the corner of his mouth. Bai Zhixi ignored him and pushed him away. He lost his balance and fell straight to the ground.
"I thank you for your age. The deep walls and large courtyard of the Southern Frontier Imperial Palace seemed like a noble bird cage. I don't want to be a frog at the bottom of a well, wasting my life's youth in it. When I return to see the royal father, I will leave. This great river and mountain are still waiting for me to understand? You better not dream about me accompanying royal father. It's impossible for you to be free and unfettered. "
Bai Zhixi ignored Nangong Xuan's resentful gaze, and continued speaking to himself.
Don't think that she doesn't know what this fellow is thinking. She can't possibly stay in the palace.
Right now, she had to find the descendants of the seven great families and stop the Great Demon King Hua Wuxie from coming out.
As for marriage, it was a formless shackle that made it difficult to breathe. If she couldn't find someone who would move her heart, she would rather not have anyone for the rest of her life.
"Miss, Miss Shangguan seems to be standing on the tower."
Zi Li's gentle voice came from outside.
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi immediately shouted for the carriage to stop, and walked out and lifted the curtain, and looked up at the city gate.
On the majestic city gate tower, Shangguan Jingyan quietly looked at the carriage, his calm face revealing a trace of reluctance. The wind blew at her clothes, causing her to tremble as if she was feeling a little cold.
Bai Zhixi endured his tears and waved to her, then a feeling of parting spread out between the two women.
The road away from the village was covered with dust, and the green clothes left a hint of elegance. The eyes of the mountains and rivers were blurry, but the road they came from was still vaguely remembered. The old tree was left with nothing but the words of the crow.
The horse's hooves chased him relentlessly, but the Thousand Mountains Crossing still did not turn back. Who did the wanderer complain to? West Wind Road. Does Heaven's Edge have a country voice companion?
Bai Zhixi suddenly remembered this ancient song that she had heard before, and at that time, she was still feeling sad about the meaning behind it. She didn't expect that after leaving today, she would truly feel the meaning within, and actually feel so sad and reluctant.
Suddenly, three figures appeared on the city wall. It was actually Jun Mohan, Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Hao.
Due to the appearance of the three of them, the atmosphere had become delicate once more. It was mixed in with the other three, and no one spoke a single word.
After a while, Dongfang Chen nodded his head to her and supported Shangguan Jingyan as he carefully left. Dongfang Hao glanced at Jun Mohan and Bai Zhixi, then patted Jun Mohan's shoulders while smiling. He whispered something into his ear, and then left the city wall as well.
Bai Zhixi and Jun Mohan quietly stared at each other, no one saying a word.
Perhaps it was because the wind was too strong, or perhaps it was because she had never forgotten it in her heart, but when she saw Jun Mohan's familiar face, she could not help but shed tears, blurring her line of sight.
In the end, he could not hold on to the hook in his hand. How many people could hold on to this sorrowful and gentle hook? You have seen through the turbidity, cold and warmth, the years have been frozen for a long time, guarding the gentleman like jade waiting.
Bai Zhixi muttered and fiercely turned into the carriage, not daring to peek his head out again.
Jun Mohan was dressed in an embroidered black robe made from flowing clouds and her black hair that was like ink was tied up high. With her beauty that could topple the world, she had the grace of a fairy, causing people to be unable to shift their eyes away for a long time.
However, on his pale and sorrowful face was a pair of pitch black eyes that were like a bottomless pool of death. They were unfathomable in depth and caused chills to run down one's spine. He didn't say a word as he watched the carriage leave.
"prince, the matter has been resolved."
Qing Shu suddenly appeared by his side, reporting loudly.
"Let's go!"
Jun Mohan looked at the carriage for a moment, then threw out his sleeves and left confidently.
