The beautiful woman climbed up the stairs and stood gracefully at the entrance of the stairs.

The Tang Dynasty was open and the defense between men and women was not very strict. Therefore, Zheng Liwan did not wear a veil, and her beautiful face directly reflected everyone's eyes.

As Cheng Chumo said, no one dared to be blasphemous about him, so he quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully, "I have met Mrs. Zheng."

"Everyone, Li Wan is polite!" Jue Shu returned the politeness, and a pleasant voice sounded in everyone's ears. Then, under the guidance of the maid, she sat near the main seat.

It happened to be opposite Xie Yi!

Although Zheng Liwan is only a female partner, she has a special status. Not only is she outstanding in talent and appearance, but her identity is also considered "noble", so she naturally dare not neglect.

Although Xie Yi is not a child of a Chang'an family, he is a magistrate of Huaiyang County and a bachelor of Hongwenguan. He has a high title. In addition, Changsun Chong is particularly fond of him, so he naturally has a higher ranking, second only to Du He and others.

Zheng Liwan's position was probably only after Princess Qinghe and other noble daughters of the royal family. She happened to face Xie Yi and sat facing each other.

The beauty took her seat and saw Xie Yi at first sight. She saw the man who was a little strange and rude just now, with a slight surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

Xie Yi nodded slightly, saying hello to Mrs. Zheng. What appeared in his heart was not an apology, but a sympathy and pity. What a woman was so good, but she wasting her youth because of Li Er's bullshit face. It's really...ah!

A sigh with almost no trace fell into Zheng Liwan's beautiful eyes opposite. Rudai's eyebrows subconsciously frowned slightly, as if there was a little more surprise and a little curiosity...

The first time we met, we communicated twice, once we looked at each other, and once we nodded and frowned, silently, but we exchanged a lot of information with each other, but it was hard to say whether we understood correctly or not...

...

The sound of footsteps mixed with ring sounds sounded on the stairs. Princess Changle and Changsun Chong went upstairs together. Most of the guests had arrived. It was almost noon that the banquet could begin.

There are almost a hundred people on the huge Ziyun Tower, both men and women. Most married women travel with their husbands, while most unmarried young ladies from aristocratic families come with their elder brothers.

Although the Tang Dynasty was open, Princess Changle still arranged gauze tents on one side very thoughtfully to avoid being rude.

Changsun looked around and saw that some seats were empty, his brows frowned slightly, and hesitated a little!

King Li Tai of Wei, who attends the first snow banquet every year, did not come, and it was a very unexpected situation!

Princess Changle saw her husband's doubtful expression and leaned closer and whispered: "The Fourth Brother sent someone to say that Xin'er is sick, and he has to be with her. She cannot come to the banquet today."

Li Xin is sick?!

Changsun smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. This reason was too far-fetched. Not to mention the real illness or false illness, even if he was really sick, it would be just a cold at most. The prince of Wei was really seriously ill, and Tai Chi Palace and even Chang'an City had been alarmed long ago.

The prince was a little sick, there were imperial doctors in the palace, maids and maids, and princesses in charge. Could it be that he could not take good care of him? He needed his dignified Prince of Wei to take care of himself? It was such a kind fatherly sentiment!

Li Tai doesn't want to come!

Don’t give your brother-in-law face? Or is it because of other reasons? Changsun Chong’s mind moved very quickly.

He has a special status and is destined to think more about everything, or even be suspicious. He is the eldest son of the Changsun family, and the brother-in-law of the crown prince and the King of Wei!

The Changsun family's every move had a great impact on the court, especially the palace. Some time ago, the emperor's eastern tour, and his father Changsun Wuji stayed in Chang'an to assist the prince. Did it cause dissatisfaction with the King of Wei?

Although the performance is not very obvious, the intention of King Yin of Wei to compete with the Eastern Palace is still vaguely visible.

How should I explain this action today?

Or is Li Tai not aiming at the Changsun family, because... Xie Yi?

Li Tai is the most talented among the princes and nobles. In previous years, he often has excellent works and is quite popular. This year, it is different. Xie Yi, who is famous all over the world, is probably better than him.

The King of Wei was worried that he would not come because of his face. If this was the case, the King of Wei's belly seemed to be inconsistent with his body shape!

When Changsun Chong was suspicious, he suddenly heard the attendant sing, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

...

Changsun Chong was like the guests in the building, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

This year's first snow banquet is really special. The King of Wei who should have come did not come, but the prince who never came came, which was really unexpected.

The crown prince is the crown prince. There is a difference between the monarch and the subject, and the etiquette cannot be abolished!

Changsun Chong and Princess Changle rushed to the stairs to greet each other, and the guests also stood up to greet each other.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No gift!" A little further away, Xie Yi saw a slightly fat young man waved his hand politely from a distance.

"Brother, why don't you send someone to inform me when you come? Changle should go downstairs and go out of the garden to greet him. It's such a rude." Princess Changle hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.

Prince Li Chengqian smiled indifferently and said, "The weather is cold and the ground is wet. How can I bear to let the emperor girl go out in the snow? Besides, you and I are brothers and sisters, and are a family, so why do you need these red tape?"

Changsun Chong said in surprise: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, and the Ziyun Tower is full of glory. I am honored."

"Changsun Chong, don't be poor, why are you and I polite?" Li Chengqian smiled and said, "You and I are cousins. Changle married, and you are the orphan brother-in-law again. You are hosting a banquet, how can orphans not come to support you?"

"The emperor is so good to be beautiful!" Princess Changle hurriedly pulled Li Chengqian to the main seat.

Changsun Chong followed behind him and couldn't help but feel a little confused. The prince's arrival is the opposite of the King of Wei's failure? Is it really for the sake of giving Changle face? Or giving himself or his father at home?

or……

Changsun Chong noticed that when Li Chengqian passed by, his eyes swept towards Xie Yi's seat intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be because of him?

This was just a guess, but Changsun Chong was still secretly shocked. No wonder his father said that he would pay close attention to Huaiyang County Bo, and it would be best to make friends with him.

It seems that it makes sense. Can a young man who can be valued by the emperor and both the prince and the King of Wei make exceptions for him?

...

Xie Yi sat there quietly observing. This should be the second time he saw Prince Li Chengqian.

The last time we were welcoming the imperial guards at Baqiao, but we were far apart at that time and we didn’t meet each other seriously, let alone communicate.

It was not until this time that Xie Yi had the opportunity to observe His Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty!

He is about the same age as himself, not very handsome, and is vaguely similar to Li Er. He has a slightly fat figure, but is much better than Li Tai, and the risk of wind disease should be lower.

Perhaps because he has been the crown prince for many years, Li Chengqian does have a sense of nobleness in his every move, perhaps this is the so-called crown prince demeanor.

At this moment, I walked along the way with a smile on my face and greeted the children of the powerful families in Chang'an. It seemed very friendly, elegant and easy, and gave people a good feeling!

only……

Is this the real Li Chengqian or the appearance of the prince? After all, his future is like that, how good can his nature be?

Looking at Li Chengqian who was smiling and walking towards him, Xie Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and he couldn't escape what should come.

Helan Chushi recruited himself in Huaiyang and extended an olive branch on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, thorns were hidden on it, so he did not take it.

But I don’t know what Li Chengqian’s reaction after learning it, so he would hate him for not being able to see him? Or should I extend an olive branch again?

No matter what, it seems to be a trouble!

I can't hide anymore. I'm in Chang'an, I can't hide on the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month. There will always be a day to meet!

In an instant, a helpless expression flashed across Xie Yi's face. Although it only flashed by, it happened to be captured by Zheng Liwan's deep eyes opposite.
