Chapter 263 Overstepping
Zhuo Yibai was stunned for a moment, "I have never participated in the political affairs of Prince Zhuo's mansion, and I still hope that the princess will wait for my brother to arrive. If the princess has other orders, Zhuo will treat each other wholeheartedly."

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Kunyu couldn't force it any longer, and a few gleams of interest flashed in his eyes, "Master Zhuo is really as extraordinary as the rumors say..."

After she finished speaking, she slowly walked under the big tree. Behind her, two maids followed closely behind her, holding a delicately painted sandalwood box in their hands. The box was carved with primitive simplicity and rich history sense.

She opened the box, took out the red brocade handkerchief wrapped in silk, and slowly opened it. Suddenly, a rich and fragrant fragrance rushed to her face.

The texture of this brocade handkerchief is excellent, the embroidery is exquisite and lifelike, and it is even more beautiful than the finest silk fabrics.

She spread out the Jinpa, and a golden phoenix appeared in front of everyone.

"This cloak was sewed by Ben Gong himself."

The gold-plated cloak shines dazzlingly in the sunlight. This cloak is woven from silkworm silk. Every stitch and thread has been carefully processed, showing a layer of light fluorescence under the sunlight. From a distance, it looks like a giant bird soaring with wings.

This kind of cloth is rare even in the royal family. It is said that only the embroiderers in the palace can make it. It is very valuable, and once the silk is damaged, it will lose its luster. There is simply no way to own such a luxury.

When Zhuo Yibai saw this gold-plated red cloak, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Is this cloak unique to South Vietnam?"

"Exactly." Kunyu smiled, "Your Majesty arranged for us to meet here in Fenglin because he was thinking about the beauty of the red color of the mountains in Nanyue. It's just that although the red maple leaves are beautiful, they are a bit inferior after all. Mr. Zhuo, you understand Do I mean?"

Zhuo Yibai restrained his expression, "I would like to hear the details."

Kun Yu stretched out her hand to shake off the broken hair on her forehead, and said slowly: "Young Master Zhuo doesn't know that our South Vietnamese people are tough and respect force, so during the autumn hunting, our warriors will wear red shirts shirtless." Wearing silk, riding a horse and competing in archery, to show the bravery of our army. I saw the young master galloping on a horse, he must be a man of heroic stature. I don’t know if the young master is willing to show his face, wearing a red silk cloth, showing off like a Chinese warrior Woolen cloth?"

As soon as her words fell, the atmosphere around her suddenly became tense.

Everyone looked at her with surprised and fearful eyes.

Ye Zhaoyan was also taken aback.Tianlu's folk customs are not bold. Even ordinary people rarely show their shirts, let alone a man with status who exposes his body in public.The South Vietnamese people are open-minded, not only ordinary people are open, but even the royal family is informal, so in the capital of South Vietnam, you can often see brawny men wearing shirtless clothes.

To come to another country as a guest, to ask the local people to follow the customs of their own country, this princess of Nanyue Kingdom is really different.

Zhuo Yibai frowned upon hearing this, "I'm sorry, Zhuo is not good at riding."

Kun Yu was not angry, and still said with a smile: "It doesn't matter that Mr. Zhuo is not good at riding, but I have heard that Mr. Zhuo is very good at archery. If Mr. Zhuo is hunting in Fengyue Ridge wearing silk, he must have a special style. "

Zhuo Yibai pondered for a while, and regained his calmness, "Since the princess is interested, Zhuo must be respectful and obedient." He turned his head and said, "Go and get my bow and arrow."

Ye Zhaoyan looked at him in disbelief, she never thought that Zhuo Yibai would agree to such absurd request.

You know, he is wearing a gown with the seal of Zhuo Wangfu, how can he expose his upper body here?If this is seen by others, it may cause criticism if it is spread.

The Xuanjia guard beside him opened his mouth to persuade, but it was too late, and the two guards were ordered to prepare.

Soon, the two guards came in with bows and arrows and handed them to Zhuo Yibai.

Zhuo Yibai took the bow and arrow, and then put his hand on the string. He held the silver bow handle in his slender white hand, and pulled the bowstring skillfully and naturally. He came out of the hood and nailed it directly into the sycamore tree.

The movements are so smooth and flowing that people can't take their eyes off.

He put down the bow, raised his head and asked, "What does the princess think?"

Kunyu admired: "Sure enough." She paused, then smiled, "Just don't forget to wear our Nanyue clothes, Mr. Zhuo." She pointed to the gorgeous red cloak in the box.

Zhuo Yibai nodded, "I will certainly not disappoint the princess' kindness."

Kunyu was really satisfied when she heard that, she looked at the third young master of the Zhuo family with great interest, she had heard of the name of the young master of the Zhuo family long ago, but she only knew that the first and second young masters of the Zhuo family were excellent at riding and shooting , but I didn't expect that the third son of Zhuo was not vulgar.

When I arrived in Jindu the day before yesterday and saw him from afar, I realized that he had such an outstanding appearance.

Such a handsome young man is not comparable to those ordinary men.

When the guard came over with the things, Zhuo Yibai turned his back, untied the outer shirt on his body, took a clean and tidy white coat from the guard's hand, changed it quickly, and stood beside the osmanthus tree again .

He changed from his previous elegance and indifference, and his black silk was tied up with a jade crown, exuding a sharp and uninhibited aura.

Before Kunyu could speak, he had already taken out the shawl from the box, draped it lightly on his shoulders, and stepped out of the gazebo.

"Young Master Zhuo." Kun Yu called her, "Why didn't you take off your clothes according to my South Yue etiquette? Does Young Master Zhuo think that your body is more precious than the cloak that I personally sew?"

This sentence, with a little teasing.

Her provocation did not anger him.

Zhuo Yibai looked back and smiled, "Zhuo's body is not worth mentioning. However, the etiquette of Tianlu people cannot be easily discarded. Zhuo can't bear to insult the princess, so she wears it."

Kun Yu was startled, but did not refute.She stared at his broad and straight back, and suddenly smiled.

The South Vietnamese are fierce and rough, and they are no strangers to this bold expression, but it is only limited to South Vietnamese men.

And Tianlu people, especially men, have always paid attention to manners and etiquette. Even if they compete with each other in private, they are always polite and abide by etiquette on the surface. It is indeed a blasphemy to expose a woman's body in public.

"Mr. Zhuo is right." Kunyu nodded, smiling, "I forgot, Tianlu's folk customs are reserved, and Mr. Zhuo is a man of good manners."

Zhuo Yibai didn't stay any longer, and rode a steed straight towards the depths of the forest, disappearing into the dense jungle.A moment later, a hiss sounded from the depths of the dense forest. The scream was shrill and high-pitched, as if mixed with painful wailing. Not long after, a figure rode out briskly.
