Chapter 266
"I heard that Tianlu women can only be cherished by men if they keep their chastity, and now I see it is true." She covered her mouth and smiled, "Could it be that the girl is trying to attract men's attention with this dress?"

Although her tone was smiling, it made people feel extremely offensive, and even made people feel cold.

"Princess, you are joking. Tianlu is a country of etiquette. Women's observance of etiquette is due to the folk customs, not deliberately flattering men." Zhuo Yibai explained m
"So that's how it is." Kunyu said with great interest, "Speaking of it this way, my palace is narrow-minded. Tianlu is very different from Nanyue people. My Nanyue is simple and open, and I don't want to be restrained. I don't know how Mr. Zhuo thinks of Nanyue women. ?”

"Although Nanyue women are more open than Tianlu women, they are only a little bolder and more enthusiastic. They are as understanding as Tianlu women, and they don't stick to small details." Zhuo Yibai replied calmly, his tone Candidly, "Zhuo has traveled to the border of Tianlu Kingdom, so he has heard a lot of rumors. South Vietnam has such a culture, and it has not been criticized by neighboring countries."

When Kunyu heard this, she smiled softly, and the smile became more and more gentle, "Young Master Zhuo is right. But these women are different after all. I don't know whether Young Master Zhuo thinks that Nanyue women are more open, which is in line with your wishes, or Tianlu women are more reserved. Is it more in line with Mr. Zhuo's appetite?"

She was smiling, but her seemingly casual question was like a sharp blade piercing Zhuo Yibai's body.

Zhuo Yibai was taken aback for a moment, and then he thought seriously: "Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. If I have to choose, I would like the woman I love."

He paused, met Kunyu's gaze with neither humbleness nor condescension, with a calm expression on his face, and after a long while, he slowly uttered four words, "Loyalty is the same."

With a "click", the ruby ​​bracelet in Ye Zhaoyan's hand fell to the ground. She quickly bent over to pick it up, and then put it on her wrist in silence.

After the ruby ​​fell, there was a crack in an instant, and it was scattered a little bit.

She stared blankly at the crystal clear ruby ​​on the bracelet that was no longer flawless, and a sense of sadness suddenly rose in her heart.

Those four words still echoed clearly in her ears—loyalty.

Be loyal...

She lowered her eyes, covering her panting eye sockets.

Ye Zhaoyan's abnormality did not attract much attention.

"Mr. Zhuo is indeed affectionate and righteous." Kunyu smiled, "As a woman, if you only want someone with one heart, there will be no infidelity. No matter whether you are in Tianlu or Nanyue, as long as you are worthy of your sincere heart But, I thought that under Tianlu’s customs, men would prefer more conservative ladies, but now after listening to Mr. Zhuo’s words, I know that Tianlu is tolerant, which makes me want to find a good husband in Tianlu.”

After all, Kunyu's eyes were glued to the other person's face.

Zhuo Yibai looked as usual, "Princess came prepared this time, and she will surely get what she wants. Zhuo hereby wishes the princess to find a good son-in-law."

"Thanks to Mr. Zhuo's auspicious words, I just hope that my wish can come true." Kunyu sighed, with melancholy in her eyes, "I just hope that I can marry into Tianlu with the power of my father, so that I don't have to worry about my father anymore." Then I was in South Vietnam."

At this time, the two guards had already brought a blue blood coral and placed it at Kunyu's feet, and then said to Zhuo Yibai, "Young Master, Second Young Master is here, and there are many gifts coming soon."

Zhuo Yibai slightly nodded towards Kunyu, "Princess, sit down for a while, and my brother and I will come later." He said, walking towards the road outside the forest.

Ye Zhaoyan took the opportunity to follow closely, preparing to walk out of Fenglin at the time of the handover, leaving this treacherous and dangerous banquet.

Zhuo Yibai obviously sensed her movements and did not stop her.

Seeing that he was about to part ways with Zhuo Yibai and his group, Ye Zhaoyan just walked to a maple tree beside the road when he heard an exclamation from behind him, and subconsciously looked back, only to see a carriage approaching from a distance, driving fast Now, she couldn't dodge it enough, she could only dodge barely, but the horse's hoof brushed against her waist, she only heard a "hissing", the skirt was damaged, and a corner of the skirt was torn, and she threw herself straight into the horse. Central Maple Forest.

The carriage was so fast that it directly broke a crossbar and stopped at the edge of the maple forest.

The horse neighed, and the horse shook its head violently. The driver on the horse's back also fell off. He grabbed the rope and the carriage barely stopped.

This sudden change attracted everyone's attention.

When Ye Zhaoyan gritted her teeth and got up, the tall horse was standing in front of her, and a man in Chinese clothes was standing in front of the horse, holding a folding fan and looking at her, it turned out to be Zhuo Mingxuan.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, only to realize that the veil on his head had slipped off at some point, and his black and smooth hair poured down, covering most of his pale cheeks.

"Huh, there is an old acquaintance hidden here." Zhuo Mingxuan glanced at her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a tone of doubt, "It's really strange, the Ye family was never invited to this kind of banquet."

Having said that, he didn't bother, and went straight to the high platform where Kunyu was.

Zhuo Yibai had already rushed to the carriage at this time, seeing that Zhuo Mingxuan left unharmed was only a false alarm, so he paid attention to the back of the white clothes in front of him, just now he heard the word "Ye Family", he vaguely guessed in his mind Seeing something, he hurried forward to verify the conjecture in his heart.

Before Ye Zhaoyan could fix the hood, the young man's wind-like figure had already rushed to her side, his eyes were full of astonishment, and they were frighteningly bright.

The girl in front of her was wearing a moon-white plain long dress, with a slender figure, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows were similar.The long black hair is like a waterfall, and it is simply tied into a simple bun.She stood quietly, with a slim and graceful figure.

She stood quietly under the branches, her slender figure seemed to be hanging in the air, as if she was going to ride the wind to return, she was so beautiful.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at by such scorching eyes, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest.

Zhuo Yibai also looked at her blankly.

The two were speechless.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zhuo Yibai was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.

Ye Zhaoyan dressed up like this, obviously deliberately concealing his identity, but he didn't know why the other party was like this.

If he knew it was her, he would definitely not try an arrow with her. Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, his palms were already sweating.

Ye Zhaoyan stared at him for a moment, her lips trembling slightly, "I thought it was your invitation." She lowered her eyes to hide the embarrassment, "...unexpectedly, it was a trick set up by someone with a heart."

Zhuo Yibai smiled bitterly, and the tone of the originally excited person became gentle, "Even so, you should have already guessed that I didn't know, why didn't you tell me?"

Ye Zhaoyan took a deep breath to calm down his slightly flustered emotions, ".It is indeed a deliberate concealment."

"Why? You don't believe me?"

He looked at the girl in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her heart.
