When Xiao Siyi heard the name Hsieh Hyun-chen, her expression was clearly startled.
She revealed a look of astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it. She looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen and saw that no one around her had any strange expressions. Even the Yelv Yan looked as if he already knew. Only then did Xiao Siyi finally dare to believe that the extremely beautiful man in front of her, who looked like a gigolo, was the famous Prince Qiyang, Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Xiao Siyi was so shocked that she couldn't control the expression on her face. Although Xiao Siyi didn't say anything, the people present could roughly guess what she was surprised about from her expression.
Not to mention Xiao Siyi, even Mu Mingtang felt that Hsieh Hyun-chen was too handsome when he first saw him. Prince Qiyang, who was famous for killing people, was much better looking than a gigolo who relied on his face to make a living.
However, there were some words that Mu Mingtang could say that others couldn't. Hsieh Hyun-chen walked to Mu Mingtang's side and saw that Xiao Siyi was still looking at him with that disgusted expression. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "You're still looking at me?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't embarrass Xiao Siyi too much because she was a woman. If it was a man who dared to look at him with that kind of expression, he would have directly hit him.
Xiao Siyi was scared by Hsieh Hyun-chen's cold gaze and shivered. She didn't dare to stare at him anymore and hurriedly looked away.
Hsieh Hyun-chen's reputation was like thunder in the Northern Tribes. Xiao Siyi had heard about his deeds from her family since she was a child. Every time Hsieh Hyun-chen was mentioned, her aunt, who always had the upper hand, would reveal a worried expression. In this kind of environment, Xiao Siyi had a natural fear of Hsieh Hyun-chen. Now that she had seen the real person, Xiao Siyi felt even more fearful.
Sure enough, Hsieh Hyun-chen's reputation as the God of Slaughter was not baseless. Xiao Siyi was sure that if she continued to look at him, Hsieh Hyun-chen would blind her on the spot.
Xiao Siyi lowered her head and averted her gaze. Seeing this, the Yelv Yan hurriedly said, "Tong Tong is my fiancée. She is young and doesn't know any better. In addition, this is her first time in the Central Plains and she doesn't know Han etiquette. She might accidentally offend Your Highness and Your Highness. However, she didn't do it on purpose. Please don't take offense, Prince An. "
The Yelv Yan snuck into Tokyo before the Spring Lantern Festival. He originally wanted to inquire about Ye Chao, but in the end, he accidentally saw Hsieh Hyun-chen. The Yelv Yan saw with his own eyes that Hsieh Hyun-chen easily defeated more than ten burly men. There wasn't even a speck of dust on his clothes. At that time, the Yelv Yan knew that attacking Ye Chao would not work. When he returned to Shangdu, he reported this matter. The Emperor of the Northern Tribes went back and discussed it with Empress Dowager Xiao for a few days. In the end, they decided to negotiate peace.
Because the news was brought back by the Yelv Yan, the Yelv Yan was in charge of negotiating peace. The Spring Lantern Festival had a great impact on the Yelv Yan. He deeply remembered the faces of Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang. At first glance, the Yelv Yan recognized Mu Mingtang.
This was the person who was with Hsieh Hyun-chen on the fifteenth day of the Spring Lantern Festival. After the incident, the Yelv Yan asked around and found out that Hsieh Hyun-chen had changed his title. He was now An Wang, and the woman beside him was An Wang.
The Yelv Yan had secretly checked, so when he spoke just now, he was able to accurately call out Mu Mingtang's title.
As for Jiang Mingwei, the Yelv Yan had long forgotten about him. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that he suddenly bumped into him today, the Yelv Yan would have forgotten that he had such a brief relationship a year ago. He had only brought Jiang Mingwei back for the sake of novelty. After Jiang Mingwei had escaped, the novelty had long since dissipated.
But Mu Mingtang was different. She was Hsieh Hyun-chen's official consort. Based on her performance that day, Hsieh Hyun-chen attached great importance to this woman.
This was a very important breakthrough point. Hsieh Hyun-chen was invulnerable and unmoved by force or persuasion. A woman who could make him show some gentleness was not to be underestimated.
Therefore, the Yelv Yan spoke to Mu Mingtang as soon as he opened his mouth. He originally planned to take advantage of Hsieh Hyun-chen's absence to ask Mu Mingtang for some information. But before he could even begin to set the trap, the arrogant Xiao Siyi jumped out and was coincidentally heard by Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Yelv Yan had no choice but to apologize on behalf of Xiao Siyi. Ever since he met Xiao Siyi, he was very familiar with this kind of thing.
After the Yelv Yan finished speaking, Hsieh Hyun-chen completely ignored him and acted as if he didn't exist. When Xie Xuanji noticed that Hsieh Hyun-chen was missing, he was afraid that Hsieh Hyun-chen had met with someone, so he quickly followed him out. When he walked to the flowerbed, he just happened to hear the Yelv Yan apologize.
Xie Xuanji's eyes moved and pretended that he had just arrived. He smiled and said: "It's so lively here. The banquet is about to start. Why are you all standing outside?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't give him any face at all. Yelv Yan was originally embarrassed, but when he heard Xie Xuanji's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped down: "So it's His Highness Prince Jin. I haven't seen Tong Tong for a long time. I was worried that she had just arrived and walked the wrong way in the Ye Dynasty Palace, so I quickly came out to find her. I didn't expect to meet An Wangfei and Jin Wangfei. Now, I'm meeting An Wangfei and Prince Jin. It's really fate. "
Xie Xuanji said: "The Eighth Prince and Miss Xiao have come from afar. Naturally, you're not used to the etiquette of the Central Plains. The palace servants didn't treat you well. Please forgive us, Eighth Prince and Miss Xiao. "
The two men said polite words in a very official manner. Taking this opportunity, Yelv Yan looked at Mu Mingtang: "Tong Tong met the two Wangfei by chance just now. There seems to be some misunderstanding. Tong Tong didn't mean any harm. If she offended An Wangfei, I apologize on her behalf. An Wangfei, please don't be calculative with her. "
After such a polite exchange, they both knew each other's identity. Xiao Siyi was the future Wangfei of the Northern Tribes after all. In addition, Yelv Yan personally apologized. Mu Mingtang couldn't continue to argue, so he said: "The Eighth Prince is too polite. Miss Xiao is straightforward and sincere. I understand."
Mu Mingtang didn't say that he forgave her. He only said that Xiao Siyi was sincere. As for whether she was sincere or reckless, it was a matter of opinion.
Yelv Yan wasn't Han after all. He wasn't good at word games. He saw that Mu Mingtang said that he didn't care, and saw that Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't make any more trouble. He really felt that this matter was over.
Although he apologized to Mu Mingtang, he was really apologizing to Hsieh Hyun-chen. If Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't pursue the matter, Yelv Yan's goal was achieved.
Everyone generally peacefully smoothed things over. Now there were three couples present. Hsieh Hyun-chen walked to Mu Mingtang's side as soon as he appeared. Xiao Siyi also followed closely behind Yelv Yan. Only Jiang Mingwei was left. He looked left and right, then braced himself to greet Xie Xuanji and walked to Xie Xuanji.
When Jiang Mingwei moved, everyone looked at her. Although Xiao Siyi knew that Jiang Mingwei was now the Ye Dynasty's Wangfei and couldn't bring the matter of the past to the surface, she was still angry. Especially when she saw Jiang Mingwei act like a high and mighty, dignified and chaste Han person. She was disgusted. She immediately snorted coldly at Jiang Mingwei.
Xiao Siyi didn't hide her disdain at all. Many people felt awkward. Especially Jiang Mingwei. Her heart almost jumped to her throat. Her back instantly broke out in a cold sweat. She was afraid that Xiao Siyi, this vicious and stupid woman, would ignore everything and say that she and the Yelv Yan were together in front of Xie Xuanji. If that happened, there would be no way to resolve the matter.
Mu Mingtang had originally wanted to watch the show, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up. Her gaze quietly darted around the other four people. Xiao Siyi looked angry, the Yelv Yan pretended not to know, and Jiang Mingwei pretended to be calm … … Then what about Xie Xuanji? Did he really not know anything?
Mu Mingtang smiled but didn't say anything. She quietly tugged on Hsieh Hyun-chen's sleeve, indicating for him to quickly look at the other side.
Unfortunately, Hsieh Hyun-chen was at the bottom of the Eight Trigrams chain. He was probably the only one present who really didn't know anything. He received Mu Mingtang's gaze. After looking at them for a while, he felt that there was something strange going on between the four of them. However, he didn't understand why. Hsieh Hyun-chen never cared about whether or not others could get off the stage. He didn't know what was going on, so he directly asked, "Do the four of you know each other?"
Mu Mingtang almost laughed on the spot. As expected, when Hsieh Hyun-chen spoke, the Yelv Yan and Xie Xuanji both became embarrassed. Jiang Mingwei was afraid that Xiao Siyi didn't know the gravity of the situation and would reveal something. He quickly forced a smile and interrupted, "The Eighth Prince brought an envoy to negotiate peace with the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court is holding a welcoming banquet for the negotiation team. His Highness naturally knows all of you."
Jiang Mingwei mentioned the negotiation of peace. Although it was a bit abrupt, it was undoubtedly a reminder to everyone present that the peace talks between the two countries were more important. They couldn't let anything affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. This was even more so for private matters in the past.
Yelv Yan and Xie Xuanji both understood the gravity of the situation. Even Xiao Siyi pulled a long face, but didn't say anything else. When Hsieh Hyun-chen saw this, he was sure that there was something between them that he didn't know about. He nodded and said, "So it's like this. I thought that you knew each other before."
If he let Hsieh Hyun-chen continue, the fragile face between the two men would collapse. Jiang Mingwei quickly said, "It's about time. The banquet should start soon. His Highness, let's go in. We shouldn't let the Imperial Court and Imperial Mother wait too long. "
Xie Xuanji didn't have any expression on his face from the moment he appeared. When he heard Jiang Mingwei's words, he only nodded slightly.
When he left, he didn't know if it was due to negligence or not, but he didn't greet Yelv Yan and the others.
When Xie Xuanji moved, Jiang Mingwei quickly followed. Soon after, Yelv Yan alertly said goodbye to Hsieh Hyun-chen and also left with Xiao Siyi. When the four people were far away, Mu Mingtang couldn't hold back anymore. He lightly poked Hsieh Hyun-chen and said with a smile, "How did you find out?"
"How would I know what happened between them? They don't know what's going on between them, so how could you blame me for asking? "After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking, he asked very sincerely," What exactly happened? "
Mu Mingtang moved closer and explained to Hsieh Hyun-chen the relationship between Jiang Mingwei and Yelv Yan in a low voice. Hsieh Hyun-chen listened as he walked. After listening for a while, he suddenly realized, "No wonder. So Jiang Mingwei and Yelv Yan eloped in the past. I knew that the four people just now, the two couples, were against each other. "
After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking, he felt puzzled, "Why didn't I know anything?"
"I already told you that you're old and can't keep up with the trends. You still don't believe me."
"Old? What do you mean old? I just turned 20. Xie Xuanji is only one or two months younger than me. Yelv Yan, don't judge him because he's not famous and doesn't know anything. He's actually older than me. "
If Yelv Yan heard this, he would probably cry on the spot. Mu Mingtang was still skeptical and said, "Is that so?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Yelv Yan how old he is. In the Northern Tribes, the young look old and the old look young, so they all look the same. But in fact, Yelv Yan is already very old. "
Mu Mingtang believed this. She thought for a while and felt strange, "Then why do I feel that you're already very old? In my impression, I've been listening to you for at least a few years. "
"That's because I became famous early," Hsieh Hyun-chen said and sighed, "Becoming famous too early is also a burden. People only know that I've been famous for a long time, but they forget that I have many other advantages, and that I'm still very young. "
Mu Mingtang couldn't stand hearing this. She looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen with disdain and said, "Shut up!"
After being scolded, Hsieh Hyun-chen became obedient. The two of them talked as they walked. At this moment, they had already entered the palace. Hsieh Hyun-chen asked, "Why did you stay outside for so long? I waited for a long time, but you didn't come back. "
Mu Mingtang said, "The banquet hasn't started yet. It's too stuffy inside the palace. I didn't want to go back, so I walked outside for a while."
Hsieh Hyun-chen heard this and raised his voice slightly, "I was inside. You didn't want to go back either?"
Yelv Yan was dealing with the Prime Minister and the others when he suddenly heard someone not far away say something incomprehensible in a cold voice that was like a nightmare to him.
Yelv Yan turned around in disbelief and really saw Hsieh Hyun-chen walking past with Mu Mingtang. So, it was really Hsieh Hyun-chen who spoke just now?
Yelv Yan's heart shattered. For a moment, he didn't want to believe it. Hsieh Hyun-chen had a fierce reputation. Although he had never directly confronted the Northern Tribes, even the children of the Northern Tribes knew of Hsieh Hyun-chen's reputation as the God of Killing. In the nursery rhymes of the Northern Tribes, Hsieh Hyun-chen was described as a monster with three heads and six arms. Although the nobles of the Northern Tribes knew that Hsieh Hyun-chen wasn't like that, in the hearts of Yelv Yan and the others, Hsieh Hyun-chen had always been a powerful and fierce warrior.
Who would have thought that when they met during the Lantern Festival, Yelv Yan would realize that Hsieh Hyun-chen was actually beautiful and exquisite. After returning home that night, everyone's mentality collapsed. Even after they returned home, they still hadn't recovered. Yelv Yan had tried very hard to convince himself that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Hsieh Hyun-chen only looked like a pretty boy. But now, Yelv Yan had personally heard Hsieh Hyun-chen use a coquettish tone to ask his princess consort why she hadn't returned yet.
The mentality that Yelu Yan had just adjusted collapsed again.
