Chapter 271 Princess Selfishness
When everyone heard the words, they all sighed.

This Nanyue princess is too thoughtful!Such outstanding men even look down on them, could it be that they don't want to marry Tianlu? !

Many ladies in the banquet shook their heads.

"This..." Zhuo Shicheng was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Kunyu to refuse so straightforwardly.He clearly inquired that Kunyu had expressed his intention of getting married in Fenglin before, and another servant witnessed Zhuo Mingxuan and Kunyu having a happy conversation, but he didn't see Kunyu's movements, so he came up with this bad plan, trying to catch her off guard , so that she had no room for consideration, and confessed her feelings in public.

I didn't expect Kunyu to be so cautious.

The smile on Zhuo Shicheng's face was almost unstoppable, and it took a long time before he recovered.

"Princess's words are wrong. If you don't want to have a dog, why did you agree to come to the banquet held by this king? This king doesn't believe it. The princess is just here for a meal." Zhuo Shicheng retorted with a smile.

Kunyu smiled slightly, "King Zhuo has wronged me. I am indeed here to pay homage to King Zhuo's demeanor, but besides that, I also saw a grand ceremony in Jindu."

The crowd was in an uproar again.

This Nanyue princess is really not ordinary intelligence.

Under Zhuo Wang's sharp questioning, she was able to answer lightly without panicking at all, which is really not easy.

It seems that she is not as arrogant and domineering as rumored outside, nor is she like a dandy young lady, but a royal lady who hides her secrets.

Zhuo Shicheng choked inwardly, but the expression on his face was still kind.

"The princess is really smart. Since I don't like my son, I don't force it. This glass of wine is my honor to the princess." Zhuo Shicheng picked up a glass of wine on the table and said to Kunyu with a smile.

Kun Yu smiled slightly, picked up the wine cup and drank it down without any hesitation.

"The princess is really good at drinking." Zhuo Shicheng smiled and applauded.

Everyone also stood up and toasted Kunyu, and the banquet finally became lively.

Perhaps because of the influence of the atmosphere, Ye Zhaoyan also drank half a cup of wine quietly. For some reason, she felt a little depressed in her heart, with an inexplicable feeling.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on the blue figure on the side of the first seat. The young man was tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, exuding an arrogance and unyielding aura. It is more heroic than extraordinary.

The scene when the two first met suddenly appeared in Ye Zhaoyan's mind.

At that time, she broke into his world like a desperado, mistakenly thinking that there was a conflict between them, but later, he rescued her and helped her escape the crisis, and she realized that he was not like her previous life The known Zhuo family is average.

The two have gone through many adventures and shared life and death together. Although they have never expressed anything to each other, Ye Zhaoyan knows that they have established a special bond. No matter at any moment they face the test of life or death, they will absolutely trust each other.

This made Ye Zhaoyan feel a strange feeling in his heart.

It's just that things are different now, and I don't know how long this feeling can last.

Maybe they will gradually become strangers until they no longer communicate with each other, but the bond still hasn't dissipated.

Ye Zhaoyan thought, his eyes gradually dimmed.

The blue figure in the distance seemed to have a sense, turned around, looked at her, four eyes met, and she saw that the indifference in those eyes instantly turned into concern and softness.

He looked at her, with a complex emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand. There was care in the complexity, and there was a trace of worry.

Ye Zhaoyan was startled, and then looked away, not looking at him again.

I feel a little overwhelmed, and I don't know how to describe it.

As Zhuo Yibai turned around, Kunyu who was seated first also raised his head.

Her gaze stayed on the boy's figure for a moment, then she looked away, lowered her head and continued to taste the pastry in her hand.

Zhuo Shicheng, who had been secretly watching Kunyu's movements, had a panoramic view of this scene, and his doubts grew stronger.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seems that the Nanyue princess is not completely unkind to his two sons.

"I heard that the princess is going to Tianlu this time with the order of the king of Nanyue?" Zhuo Shicheng asked suddenly after being silent for a while.

Kunyu nodded, "Exactly."

"To tell you the truth, the princess Guan Qiao has heard about it." Zhuo Shicheng said with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Kunyu without blinking, "I don't know what the princess's plan is?"

"Oh? Could it be that King Zhuo has a good idea? I would like to hear more about it." Kunyu smiled lightly, and softly handed the words back.

There was a sly light in her eyes, and she looked like she was watching a good show.

Zhuo Shicheng sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "The princess is the jewel of the king of Nanyue, so she must put the country first. But this time the envoys of Nanyue came to Tianlu, but they brought a lot of beautiful women. Come on, this way, I'm afraid it will make Tianlu's royal family members think about it. But if you do this, won't you lose your princess status?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect the South Vietnamese envoys to resort to such tricks for the sake of marriage. It was really unwise.

Many noble ladies even scoffed when they heard the words. The daughters of everyone with a little bit of status would not bother to use this method to win over their husbands. The Princess of Nanyue actually knows this well.

When Kunyu saw this, the smile on her face disappeared completely. The beauties brought by the envoys were all the ideas of the concubines of the Nanyue harem. Yes, all ministers agree with this.

As men, they have long been accustomed to this, so why would they consider Kunyu's face as a woman?
"The royal family members are noble, but they are all young and full-blooded after all. If the princess attracts them with her beauty, maybe these royal family members will give up the idea of ​​being a noble daughter in their own country and marry the princess instead. But But this king is not worthy of a princess." Zhuo Shicheng continued to be persuasive, "The princess's beauty and strength naturally make everyone flock to him, and even some young talents with prominent backgrounds are willing to give up their family marriages. With such good conditions, why should the princess Embarrass yourself?"

Speaking of this, Kunyu's original calm expression has been shaken.

"Princess, do you think my king's words are justified?" Zhuo Shicheng said with a smile.

"What King Zhuo said is reasonable." Kunyu smiled lightly, "Since this is the case, I have also admitted frankly that I was indeed ordered by my father to come to Tianlu this time to accomplish the matter of Nanyue's marriage with Tianlu. I will not hide it from the prince. , There have been a lot of rumors and rumors in Nanyue. Although the palace came here for marriage, it is selfish. It wants to use the power and wealth of Nanyue to form a good relationship with the Tianlu nobles and find a place to live. .”

As soon as Kunyu finished speaking, everyone exclaimed, their eyes full of shock.

Originally, they thought that the princess had no choice but to come to Tianlu to marry her under the orders of the Nanyue royal family, but who knew that she came with such a purpose.

For a moment, they couldn't help looking at Kunyu with complicated expressions. If they wanted to find a good son-in-law for themselves, their status was not the most important thing.
