Chapter 262 The Princess of South Vietnam
"Zhuo..." Ye Zhaoyan was about to call him, when a sound of hoofbeats from far and near covered her voice.

The figure in the distance turned around as if aware of it, revealing that handsome and clear face.

Ye Zhaoyan was in a trance for a moment.

The young man is slender and well-proportioned, with handsome features, and a strong sternness between his brows. He is dressed in a blue gown that makes him even more handsome, and his black eyes, like black jade, are even deeper because of the backlight.

The Xuanjia guard on the side has already blurted out: "Who dares to trespass on the royal family's important place?!"

Ye Zhaoyan was stunned. This maple forest was indeed a view for the royal family, but it has been neglected for many years, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Why is it guarded by heavy soldiers now?
Only then did she carefully look at the guard's outfit, his attire was different from that of the guards behind Zhuo Yibai, there was no obvious emblem on A's body, only the unique style of the lapel revealed his identity.

These are not soldiers from the Zhuo Palace, nor are they soldiers from any family that Ye Zhaoyan has seen on the battlefield. They are the forbidden army of Donglin Dishen in the palace.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart trembled slightly, how could the people of Emperor Donglin be here and still follow Zhuo Yibai?

"Who are you?" Zhuo Yibai finally couldn't help it, his tone was not gentle.

Ye Zhaoyan came back to his senses when he heard the familiar voice, his face under the hood was slightly hot, and a hot current surged from the bottom of his heart, quickly spreading all over his body.

She was still wearing a veil under the veil, so ordinary people would not be able to recognize her, but as the inviter, Zhuo Yibai didn't notice it at all?

At this moment, two guards rushed over panting from a distance, and knelt down on the ground, "Report to you, my subordinate, wait a while and let outsiders enter Fenglin by mistake!"

"How did she break in?" the black-clothed guard beside Zhuo Yibai asked the guard.

The guard lowered his head even lower, "It seems that someone smuggled him in. It's not clear who it is. This subordinate immediately brought someone to investigate!"

Zhuo Yibai looked at several people, and finally fell on Ye Zhaoyan.

Ye Zhaoyan suddenly had a bad feeling, it seemed that Zhuo Yibai didn't know about this appointment, so what's going on?

She turned her head to look for the tall man who had led the way just now, but found that he had long since disappeared.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhuo Yibai walked straight towards her.

Ye Zhaoyan watched him walking towards her step by step, but felt her breathing was short of breath and her heart was beating wildly.

She couldn't help but put her right hand on the collar of her left shoulder, trying to calm her disordered breathing.

When he approached, Ye Zhaoyan felt the air freeze for a moment, his eyes fell on her veil, his expression was still indifferent, "Who are you?"

Ye Zhaoyan took a deep breath, and was about to pull off the veil, when a crisp bell interrupted her.

The group of people turned their heads to look at the place where the bell sounded, and saw a group of golden armored guards galloping forward on horses. The leader was a golden carriage inlaid with jewels, and the carriage was carved with complicated patterns.A guard sat on both sides of the carriage, holding the reins in their hands, with a vigilant look on their faces.

After a while, the carriage stopped, the gorgeous sedan chair curtain was lifted, and a pair of slender jade feet stepped out of the sedan chair, stepping on the soft grass.

This is a pair of slender feet, which look extremely beautiful. The skin is fair and smooth, like suet white jade, and further up, a pair of straight and slender legs, like lotus roots, make people daydream.

It's just that such a bold show of feet is really shocking.

In Tianlu, women's feet are like treasures, they can only be hidden in the boudoir, and they will never be displayed in front of outsiders casually.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of slender and white hands raised the curtain, and a beautiful woman in a purple dress emerged from the sedan chair. She had a graceful figure, and her every move was charming and enchanting.

Seeing this attire, Ye Zhaoyan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and he immediately regained his composure. This is not Tianlu's attire.

At this moment, the blue figure at the side made a movement, Zhuo Yibai waved his hand, several guards got off their horses one after another, saluted the woman respectfully, and said, "See the princess."

"Exemption."

Ye Zhaoyan was shocked. Tianlu didn't have such a big princess, and she couldn't help but think of the rumors she heard yesterday. Could it be Kunyu, the daughter of the Nanyue King?

Kunyu is the only woman in the royal family of Nanyue Kingdom. She just turned sixteen this year, but she has a very arrogant and willful personality.

However, she does have the capital of arrogance.

Her concubine mother was Nanyue King's favorite concubine. When she was born, she almost died of dystocia. Fortunately, Nanyue King sent someone to ask for medicine, so she was saved.

But her mother and concubine passed away. The monarch of Nanyue was heartbroken and doted on this young girl, giving her almost all his love.

This princess of Nanyue Kingdom is quite capricious, with innate nobility and arrogance on her body, she seems to disdain to care about any woman. In the palace of Nanyue Kingdom, except for those concubines, almost no one can let her see in her eyes .

When Ye Zhaoyan was guessing secretly, Kunyu had already walked towards this side. She was wearing a purple dress, with a graceful figure, her skin was snow-like, her face was beautiful, her eyebrows revealed a charming style, her steps were elegant, and it was easy to see at a glance. , was deeply attracted by her charm.

Ye Zhaoyan subconsciously took two steps back and stood behind the guard.

Her movements did not escape the eyes of the people beside her, Zhuo Yibai looked back at Ye Zhaoyan a little strangely.

Although the woman's face was covered by a hood, for some reason she always gave him a familiar feeling, as if they knew each other.

Ye Zhaoyan was still immersed in thoughts, she did not expect that the Princess of Nanyue Kingdom would come to Fengyue Ridge in the north of the city, where the maple leaves are decaying, and Zhuo Yibai was here again for some reason, accompanied by Emperor Donglin's imperial army .

What is the purpose of the person behind that led her here?
Seeing this, Kunyu followed Zhuo Yibai's gaze and glanced at her. Seeing that she was dressed plainly like an ordinary maid, she ignored her, and stopped under a maple tree, "Mr. The only person sent to pick you up is you."

She said dissatisfied words, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't seem to be angry at all.

Zhuo Yibai nodded lightly, "Reporting to Her Royal Highness, my brother is busy with the affairs of the mansion and did not intentionally neglect it. He will arrive in a quarter of an hour. I hope the princess will make amends."

His voice was deep and sweet, like the strings of a piano being plucked, with a touch of alienation and indifference unintentionally.

"It doesn't matter, you and Zhuo Mingxuan are both the sons of King Zhuo, so it doesn't matter who comes to pick you up. I came to Fengyue Ridge today to discuss important matters with Prince Zhuo's residence." Kunyu said straight to the point, "I don't know Mr. Zhuo Would you like to help?"

Zhuo Yibai lowered his eyes and covered his deep gaze, "I am afraid that the princess has a lot of important things to discuss with the Zhuo Palace. Zhuo is not in charge of the general affairs of the Zhuo Palace, nor has he ever participated in politics, so he cannot help the princess."

Hearing this, Kunyu's delicate nose moved, she raised her hand, and hooked her fingertips to the hair hanging on her forehead, her tone was quite teasing: "Young Master Zhuo clearly knows the purpose of my visit today, Why beat around the bush."
