Chapter 274 Powerless to stop
Zhuo Tianxin glanced at Kunyu, reluctantly greeted him with a salute, and then entered the table.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhuo Shicheng greeted quickly: "Come on, everyone, drink, drink, and there will be singing and dancing later."

When everyone heard the words, they picked up wine jugs and poured wine, as if drinking freely.

Ye Zhaoyan also picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

The maid beside Kunyu also got up quickly and poured fragrant tea for Zhuo Yibai and Zhuo Mingxuan.

Everyone chatted happily with wine, as if the accident just now had never happened, and Zhuo Wang's thin face still needs to be taken care of.

However, the banquet was harmonious on the surface, but in private, everyone became more and more heated.

"Tianxin, come in and have a seat. Today's banquet is organized by a famous chef. You should eat more!" Zhuo Shicheng's voice was kind, but to Zhuo Tianxin's ears, it was full of comfort. meaning.

Zhuo Tianxin was secretly annoyed, how could she not know what her father was thinking?When she thought that Zhuo Shicheng and Helianbi wanted to marry Kunyu into Zhuo Wang's mansion without telling her, she felt annoyed.

Two days ago, she approached Zhuo Shicheng about this matter, but He Lianbi also helped him to persuade him, bluntly saying that Zhuo Wangfu entertained the princess of Nanyue just to fulfill the friendship of the landlord for His Majesty, which made her deceived.

Zhuo Tianxin turned his gaze, and looked at the handsome man not far away who was not looking sideways.

He seemed deaf to the din around him, and his gestures exuded a touch of alienation that was awe-inspiring.The delicate face is lined with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a pair of clear eyes reveal the depth, making people forget themselves, willingly intoxicated by it, unable to extricate themselves.

Zhuo Tianxin looked at him, only felt his heart beating like a drum, his cheeks became hot unconsciously, and his eyes were dull for a moment.

Seeing that many people's eyes fell on her again, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"You don't need to bother father." Zhuo Tianxin whispered with a cold face, the surrounding voices were boiling, but no one heard their words.

Zhuo Shicheng grabbed her tightly, "Don't mess around."

The two maids helped her to sit with winking eyes.

As soon as Zhuo Tianxin sat down, he began to argue: "Daddy, why is my daughter messing around? My daughter came today to tell you that this marriage is not good for Zhuo Wang's mansion. If the princess enters the mansion, she will have a noble status. A son-in-law, isn't he reduced to a son-in-law, how can he hold his head up?"

"You child, how do you talk? This is a good thing that the big families can't wait for, why can't you hold your head up?" Zhuo Shicheng was a little helpless, what's the matter with this child?He obviously didn't notice that Zhuo Yibai was what the other party said, and he didn't think about Zhuo Mingxuan at all.

"Father, how can you only be optimistic about the good side? If the two countries turn against each other in the future, and His Majesty no longer treats Nanyue as well as today, then we, as in-laws of the Nanyue royal family, will be disgusted by His Majesty, and we will be completely in trouble! At that time, I am afraid that the Zhuo Palace Everyone will suffer!" Zhuo Tianxin stared at him without hesitation, she knew that Zhuo Shicheng's character had always been moderate, if she didn't produce some evidence to prove this matter, it might be nothing.

The two were arguing in earnest, but they didn't notice that the back of an attendant had stopped behind him for a long time.

"Tianxin!" Zhuo Shicheng said in a deep voice, "How about your majesty, we don't need your advice, we just need to do our duty well, do you think your majesty is the kind of person with a small belly? Your majesty treats us so favorably Wangfu, if we speculate maliciously because of this, it would be ungrateful."

"But Daddy..."

"Shut up!" Zhuo Shicheng couldn't help scolding, he couldn't understand that his daughter was just a little arrogant, why now he can't even tell the priority.

Here, the father and daughter are arguing endlessly, and on a table not far away, a middle-aged man in a green shirt is staring at them with interest.

This man in the green shirt is none other than Jiang Yan, the envoy of South Vietnam.

"What is the dispute between King Zhuo and his beloved daughter? If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell them, maybe we have a solution." Jiang Yan asked, drawing everyone's attention to the two of them instantly.

"Don't blame the envoy, the little girl is naughty, she always talks nonsense." Zhuo Shicheng smiled awkwardly, and seeing everyone heard the sound, a trace of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.

"Oh? So that's it." Jiang Yan seemed very interested, "The daughter of Prince Zhuo's Mansion is really strange. It is rumored that she is well-educated, extremely filial, and rarely shows up. The princess attended the banquet today, and the first time I saw her was her trespassing. Arguing with King Zhuo at the banquet, could it be... because you are dissatisfied with the princess's arrival?"

Seeing him making trouble, Zhuo Tianxin's complexion paled instantly, and a burst of anger gradually rose, "What does this lady have to do with the princess when she talks to the king? The messenger's words like this are probably deliberately making things difficult for me."

Zhuo Shicheng hurriedly signaled her to shut up with his eyes, and explained with a smile: "The envoy misunderstood, although Zhuo Tianxin is a bit arrogant, but she will not do things that are insulting to gentleness. However, she does have some shortcomings. For example, she has a simple temper and doesn't know how to hide her thoughts. If she says something wrong, I will apologize for her, and I hope the envoys don't take it to heart."

"My lord is serious. I didn't mean to blame Miss." The envoy smiled, "However, this matter is not because I deliberately made things difficult for her, but because I just heard her talk with Zhuo Wang, I really can't bear it." I stopped, so I opened my mouth and said a few words. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Zhuo Shicheng's face changed instantly. He didn't expect that the South Vietnamese envoy had been listening to their conversation secretly, and he could know a thing or two from such a long distance.

He couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

Seeing this, the guests at the banquet began to discuss again, and they were all curious about what kind of discussion caused the South Vietnamese envoy to make such an attack. It was not a trivial matter.

Zhuo Shicheng regretted it in his heart, but he didn't expect that he was caught wrong by the other party when he didn't notice for a while.

Just when he didn't know how to respond, the emissary seemed to have seen something, his eyes changed, and he spoke again: "Tianlu and Nanyue are about to become relatives by marriage, so they are also a family. This is why the natal family, who is a princess, told the prince It's normal to say a few words about yourself, my lord, don't take it to heart."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. What does this messenger mean?Have they already decided to marry Zhuo Wangfu?

Only Zhuo Yibai followed the envoy's gaze to the woman not far from him, who was Kunyu.

He instantly understood what was wrong, and the envoy's change was obviously caused by Kun Yu's intention.

Kunyu raised her eyes to meet his gaze, her heart froze for a moment, she had to look away, and her heart was full of doubts.

Seeing this, Zhuo Mingxuan at the side of the seat raised his brows with some understanding, and unraveled the innumerable clues in his mind.

In the distance, Ye Zhaoyan looked at the scene in front of him with an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The young man's sitting posture has not changed, it seems to be an attitude of willingly agreeing.

An unstoppable sadness rose from the bottom of her heart, making her flustered.

　Don't wait for tomorrow, the update will resume in early August.
