The smile on Princess Anxi's face faded slightly, but she still accepted Ye Li's congratulations with a smile. She glanced sideways at the young man beside her and said to Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao, "Prince Ding, Princess, this is my fiancé, Pu Ah."
Ye Li looked up at the young man. He was about the same age as Princess Anxi. He was tall and slender, almost as tall as Mo Xiuyao. But his skin color was different from the men of the Central Plains. His wheat-colored skin made him look more muscular and handsome. There was a hint of stiffness and undetectable embarrassment on his stiff face. Ye Li instinctively felt that this young man was a simple and honest person. She really didn't think that Princess Anxi would like him.
The young man nodded at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li and said a few words that Ye Li couldn't understand. It didn't sound like the common language of Nanzhao. Mo Xiuyao nodded at the young man and said a few words. That young man was clearly surprised that this white clothed man could actually speak his language, and the gaze he looked at Mo Xiuyao with immediately became much more enthusiastic. Princess Anxi smiled at Ye Li and said, "Pu Ah is the only son of the chief of a tribe in the south. His tribe was on good terms with my grandfather's tribe. I saw him a few times when I was young. But they have their own language and have always been xenophobic. He has just learned Nanzhao language, so I don't think you understand. He just said that you are welcome. "
The others naturally heard the conversation between Princess Anxi and Ye Li. Pu Ah looked at Princess Anxi and a trace of confusion flashed across his face. Princess Anxi whispered a few words to him. Pu Ah looked up and nodded at Ye Li with a smile. He said in a stiff Nanzhao language, "Welcome." Ye Li listened to the stiff and out of tune Nanzhao language. It was even stiffer than hers. It sounded anxious. He had just learned it. He nodded and replied in Nanzhao language, "Thank you. Congratulations." The young man clearly understood Ye Li's words. His expression towards the crowd became gentler as he muttered a few words to Princess Anxi. Princess Anxi said to Ye Li with a smile, "He said you're all my friends. You're very nice." Ye Li couldn't help but smile. She felt that this young man wasn't unworthy of Princess Anxi after all.
After they were done exchanging pleasantries, Xu Qingchen and the others caught up with them. Xu Qingchen smiled at Princess Anxi. "Congratulations, Your Highness."
A bitter smile flashed across Princess Anxi's eyes. She lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you. Thank you for coming." Xu Qingchen smiled. "I'm also very happy to be able to attend your wedding." Princess Anxi quickly adjusted herself and nodded with a smile. "It's been a few years. I'm glad to see you. This is my fiancé, Pu 'a. "
Princess Anxi turned her head and introduced Xu Qingchen to Pu Ah in another language.
Xu Qingchen wasn't called the First Young Master of Da Chu State for nothing. In Ye Li's words, if Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen stood together, the first person people would notice would be Mo Xiuyao. But that would be because of Mo Xiuyao's white hair. And the last person people would look at would be Xu Qingchen. Of course, there was no lack of Ye Li's intention to belittle her husband. But at least it showed that Xu Qingchen and Mo Xiuyao wouldn't be inferior to each other when they stood together.
In fact, in terms of appearance, Xu Qingchen might not be more handsome than Feng Zhiyao. He wasn't as handsome as Han Mingxi either. He didn't even care much about his clothes and accessories. His clothes were white clothes of the most common color and style. He also did not like to be like Feng Zhi Yao, who was always holding a gorgeous gold-plated folding fan in his hand. Occasionally, he would just hold a folding fan that he had casually drawn in his study. On his waist hung a jade pendant that his grandfather had given him when he was young. It hadn't been changed for many years. But as long as he stood in front of people, people couldn't help but look at him. They were reluctant to look away. Xu Qingchen always gave people a feeling of elegance and refinement, but he didn't have the high and mighty aura of an immortal. Instead, it was a kind of feeling that made people involuntarily submit and feel warm and comfortable. Most of the outstanding men in the world were too threatening compared to Xu Qingchen. People couldn't help but be wary and alienated. Only Xu Qingchen … … Even Ye Li had never seen a man like Xu Qingchen who made people want to get close to him and feel warm and peaceful. Even people who knew Xu Qingchen's methods couldn't help but be attracted to him.
Pu Ah was startled when he saw Xu Qingchen. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes, but there was also relief and sadness. He nodded at Xu Qingchen and also said welcome. He didn't know much Nanzhao language. Xu Qingchen smiled gently and greeted him in Pu Ah's tribal language. It was the same tribal language, but Mo Xiuyao's pronunciation was very similar to Princess Anxi's. It should be the standard language learned by outsiders. But when it came from Xu Qingchen's mouth, it seemed to be different. It was more like Pu Ah's, but his voice was more pleasant.
Seeing the faint sadness on the young man's face, Ye Li couldn't help but lean her head on Mo Xiuyao's shoulder. She didn't want to look up. Brother, can you be any worse? It's fine if you don't like Princess Anxi, but now you're attacking her fiancé?
"Li, are you tired?" Mo Xiuyao asked with concern. He didn't care who Xu Qingchen attacked, but he couldn't attack him anyway.
Ye Li nodded weakly. She sympathized with the gloomy young man standing next to Xu Qingchen. Princess Anxi looked at Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao holding hands and a trace of envy flashed through her eyes. She said with a smile, "Let's just talk here. Let's go into the city. I've already asked people to prepare a post house. If we continue to stand here, we might steal the souls of the girls in Nanzhao City. Then we'll be in trouble. "
Princess Anxi was right. Although they weren't standing in the center of the city gate, they were too eye-catching. From Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen to Feng Zhiyao, Zhuo Jing, Lin Han and Qin Feng, any one of them was enough to attract a large number of girls. At this time, there were already many young girls standing at the city gate. The people of Nanjiang were always enthusiastic. If it weren't for the guards of Wangcheng, they might have already rushed forward to express their love.
After entering the city, Princess Anxi led them directly to a post house not far from the palace and the princess' residence. Mo Xiuyao and the others were tired from the journey. Naturally, they wouldn't go to the palace to see the King of Nanzhao as soon as they entered the city. Princess Anxi personally led them to a courtyard in the post house that had already been prepared. She ordered the servants of the post house to take good care of them. Seeing Princess Anxi put in so much effort, Ye Li felt even more embarrassed about her brother's unkindness.
Receiving Ye Li's apology, Princess Anxi smiled helplessly. She looked back at Pu Ah who was talking to Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen not far away. Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen were both proficient in many Nanjiang languages, so they didn't have any language barriers when talking to Pu Ah. From Ye Li's perspective, the three of them were chatting quite well. However, the young man sandwiched between Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen was even more inconspicuous. Princess Anxi sighed helplessly, "Prince Ding and Qingchen are both too outstanding. It's really difficult to find someone as outstanding as them. Pu Ah and I have known each other since we were young. He's not a bad person and has always been good to me. There's nothing wrong with marrying him. "
