C146 (1/2)

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? ”
