Chapter 178
"As long as everyone here appreciates Dong Teng's dancing posture, Fei'er will present a dance to cheer up the fun, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Seeing the beautiful woman bending over gently, some nobles from aristocratic families felt itchy in their hearts, and swallowed their saliva unconsciously.This Princess of Xiangcheng has to say that she is really beautiful, she is no worse than Concubine Wen Gui and Princess Yongning.

Maybe it's because Dongteng women's looks are generally soft and charming, and because they often practice dancing, their bodies are soft and boneless, and they are lighter than ordinary women.This soft figure is a fatal temptation for men, just imagine, holding a beautiful woman as soft and plump as a willow in your arms, no one can resist it.

But she is the princess of Dongteng, and she will only marry into the royal family in the future. I am afraid they will not have this kind of beauty.The sons of the aristocratic family shook their heads and sighed, but when they thought of Princess Xiangcheng's arrogance, their hearts tightened. They really couldn't control this temper, and it would be good if they married into the royal family.

Seeing this, Qi Ze knew that Xia Houyan was going to make a move.As long as Princess Xiangcheng performed a dance, Xia Houyan would have a proper reason to propose a marriage, and the Prince Jin's mansion might be in a state of unrest by then.However, Murong Xiu's strength is not bad. Although the enemy is coming fiercely, relying on Murong Xiu's ability, it is not so easy for Princess Xiangcheng to enter the Jin Palace.

However, Xia Houyan really needs to be on guard. What he just said has already let people know that this person is thoughtful, good at dancing, and he is difficult to deal with at a glance.If Princess Xiangcheng really entered Prince Jin's mansion, things might be very serious, and Murong Xiu should understand in his heart.

Thinking of this, Qi Ze couldn't help but raise his eyes to look in Murong Xiu's direction.Murong Xiuxiu stared at Princess Xiangcheng closely, with deep eyes.Sure enough, the moment Princess Xiangcheng stood up, Murong Xiu had sensed the aura of trickery.

Princess Xiangcheng just bowed slightly, saluted, and then went down to change her dance clothes, leaving only the princes of the aristocratic family with eyes full of obsession.

After a while, Princess Xiangcheng, who had changed into a gorgeous dance dress, slowly walked onto the high stage. Against the backdrop of the gauze-like dance dress, the woman's waist was even more graceful and light. It can be broken.The slender arms are spread out, the body is as soft as clouds, and lotuses grow every step of the way, like butterflies flying among flowers.Suddenly, the water sleeves were thrown open, the sleeves fluttered and swayed, as if they were brushing over people's hearts, making everyone's eyes follow the water sleeves, and their eyes were fascinated.

Facing such a graceful beauty, Qi Ze couldn't help but look at Murong Xiu, wanting to see Murong Xiu's reaction.If Murong Xiu also fell in love, it would be bad.

Looking up, he found that Murong Xiu was also looking at Princess Xiangcheng's beautiful and light dancing posture, but there was no trace of obsession and astonishment in his eyes like everyone else's, but more vigilance and defense.In this way, Qi Ze felt relieved, fortunately Murong Xiu is not a man who is obsessed with sex.

But think about it carefully, if he was really an ordinary man, he wouldn't be able to fight against Murong Sheng for many years without losing the slightest bit.For Murong Sheng to take risks to cooperate with Western Wei Dong Teng, Murong Xiu must be a person worthy of Murong Sheng's vigilance, otherwise Que Yu would not have chosen Murong Xiu.

As soon as he thought of Que Yu, Qi Ze felt a dangerous look from the person next to him, which inexplicably made Qi Ze's heart skip a beat.

"Murong Xiu looks good?" The familiar frivolous voice came from beside his ear, but it was dangerous and coercive, making it hard to ignore.

But Qi Ze didn't feel anything wrong at all. He kept looking at Murong Xiu's eyes and looked at Murong Xiu's facial features carefully. Otherwise those women in the boudoir would not like Murong Xiu, his face must be good-looking." As he spoke, he couldn't help wondering why Que Yu suddenly asked this question.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Que Yu's voice that sounded like he was gnashing his teeth, "Really? Do you look better than me?"

Surely not, Qi Ze immediately had the answer in his mind, and just as he was about to speak, he felt that this question was very strange.Does this question have anything to do with government?Feeling strange, he couldn't help turning his head to look.

As a result, Qi Ze was not shocked by seeing it.Que Yu was resting his chin, staring straight at her with eyes that wanted to swallow her alive.Although the young man was wearing a golden mask, making it difficult to see the specific expression, it still surprised Qi Ze.

What's wrong with this guy, why this look?That look is scary, isn't it?

Although Qi Ze was startled inwardly, he didn't show it on his face, and looked calm on the surface.Holding the edge of the table with his hands, he quietly looked at the man in front of him.

Seeing that the woman was silent, Que Yu approached with a masked face, gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Shaoyi, tell me, does Murong Xiu look good like me?"

"...No, you'd better watch it." Qi Ze replied seemingly calmly.

"Not as good-looking as this king, what are you doing looking at him all the time?"

"Because... I want to see it." Qi Ze told the truth.

"What do you want to see about him?" Que Yu still gritted his teeth.

"I want to see... his face." Qi Ze felt that this was the only answer, she really wanted to see Murong Xiu's face, otherwise how would she look at his reaction.And besides the face, where else could she see?
"Oh? Have you finished reading it?" the man in front of him asked with a hint of danger in his eyes.

"... Finished it." Qi Ze said honestly, she did finish it.

"Want to watch it again?"

"Don't look at it." Qi Ze said immediately, turned his head and sat up straight, looking at Princess Xiangcheng who was dancing on the high platform in the distance.

"Hmph, I didn't keep an eye on you for a moment, so you went to see someone else." Que Yu crossed his chest and said angrily.

"...I just want to see Murong Xiu's reaction, otherwise, the good show King Qin came to attend the banquet will be gone." Qi Ze said without looking at the man behind him.

"A good show?" Que Yu tilted his head and looked at the woman and asked, "What good show does this king want to see here?"

"Let's see if Xia Houfei can finally enter the Prince Jin's Mansion." Qi Ze said slowly, "After all, the Princess Dongteng I brought along cannot be wasted easily. Good thing."

"Heh, bringing a princess here, Dong Teng has ulterior motives from the beginning, and now this banquet is their best opportunity, how could this king miss it?" Que Yu smiled lightly, noncommittal.

"So this banquet is their best opportunity, but also their last chance." Qi Ze quietly stated a fact.

At this banquet, Xia Houyan will bring up the matter of marriage.If he was rejected in public, in order to save Dong Teng's face, Xia Houyan would not mention it again, and acted as if nothing had happened.After all, the princess of a country came here from thousands of miles to get married, but was directly rejected, which was a slap in the face of Dong Teng.

So as long as it is proposed, the goal must be achieved.Otherwise, it would be impossible to find an opportunity to bring up this matter again later.But Qi Ze will still pay attention to this matter, because although this is the last chance, as long as this time does not succeed, then Princess Xiangcheng will not even want to enter the Jin Palace again.But the difficulty lies in how Murong Xiu wants to refuse. This is a major matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries. As a prince, Murong Xiu has no reason to refuse at all.If you refuse, you will regard the harmony of national relations as nothing, and offend people in two countries at the same time.

Even though he knew that the other party had evil intentions, but for the sake of the country's face, Murong Xiu could only accept it.Although he knew in his heart that Murong Xiu would not let Princess Xiangcheng enter the Jin Palace so easily, but just in case, Qi Ze couldn't help but worry, after all Xia Houyan is not a vegetarian.

While Qi Ze was thinking, he heard Que Yu ask: "Xia Houyan wants to use this to make Murong Xiu fall in love with Xia Houfei, so that he can naturally propose a marriage. Then, do you think Murong Xiu will fall in love with Xia Houfei?" ?”

"No." Qi Ze replied decisively, "Murong Xiu is not that kind of superficial person. If Xia Houfei only relies on his appearance, the possibility of Xia Houfei wanting to enter the Jin Palace is very small."

"It seems that you know Murong Xiu quite well." Que Yu stared at the woman in front of him for a while, then said quietly.

"Of course I understand, after all, it's about..." I am a person who is a matter of life and death, and I definitely want to understand.

Originally, Qi Ze planned to say it, but he felt the breath of the man next to him turn cold in the middle of the sentence, so he could only swallow the rest of the words, and then added a sentence, "Actually, I don't know him very well."

"Hmph." Que Yu snorted and turned his head away. In fact, he certainly knew that Qi Ze knew Murong Xiu quite well. Survive, but also to understand.

But seeing Qi Ze's understanding and concern for Murong Xiu, he still couldn't help but test it out.Of course he knew that when he returned to Beishuo, and before Qi Ze went to the border of Beishuo, Murong Xiu had thought about using the power of the prince to help Qi Ze stay, but this girl refused.And when Murong Xiu knew that Qi Ze had fallen off the cliff, he secretly sent someone to look for it. He knew all of this, but Qi Shaoyi never cared about it.

She knows Murong Xiu so well, so does she know him?

Qi Ze was watching Princess Xiangcheng dance seriously. Although Princess Xiangcheng planned it, the dance was really good, no wonder she was so confident.I have to say that this glamorous appearance really pleases men.

Just when Qi Ze was expressing his emotions and feeling bored, he heard the person next to him ask: "Qi Shaoyi, you know Murong Xiu so well, so do you know me? How do I feel in your heart? ?”

Hearing the questioning in the usual magnetic voice, Qi Ze couldn't help turning his head to look, staring at those serious eyes, listening to this strange question, he was a little dazed for a while.

What is he like in her heart?She didn't have an answer for a moment. She could see through many people, but she couldn't see through this person. Although she knew many things about him, she... still couldn't see through.What kind of person is Que Yu?Someone she hates?Although this guy is really annoying sometimes, but sometimes he is not annoying.

She didn't seem to have thought about this question, and she never wanted to think about it. She really didn't see him clearly.

The young man looked at the dazed woman, approached him, lowered his head slightly and whispered in his ear: "Have you not seen me clearly? But you, I have seen clearly a long time ago, little girl."

Had he seen her clearly already?The woman was in a daze for a moment, but also, Que Yu was always wise, so how could he not see through her.

Qi Ze looked at the beautiful eyes with deep meaning in front of him, and said quietly after a while: "No, I can see it more clearly. I know that His Highness King Qin is not what others said, although he still can't see clearly. , but..." The woman stared deeply into the man's eyes, "You are different from others, I knew this a long time ago."

The woman said these words very calmly and earnestly, which made the man stunned. He looked at the exquisite face in front of him for a while, and said softly: "Since I am different from others, then..." The man stretched out his finger and pointed at the woman's face. From the heart, the voice became softer and steady, "With you, can I be a little bit special? Different from others."

Different and special?What's the meaning?Qi Ze suddenly felt at a loss, how could Que Yu be special in her heart?

Looking at the bewildered woman, the man continued to say: "Didn't I say before that there is a price to pay for seeing through me, but now that you have seen it clearly, then you have to pay the price." The masked face of the man slowly Slowly approaching, whispered softly: "After I punish you, you can only look at me alone, and you are not allowed to look at other men, not anyone."

Hearing this soft and steady voice, the other party's warm breath hit his ear, and itchy for no reason, which made Qi Ze feel uncomfortable for a moment, and couldn't help but startled.

Not looking at other men?How can this be?She was in court, so she must have to see other people, Que Yu's request was really strange.But before Qi Ze could think about it, the other party stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's face, and said in a domineering and lazy voice, "Do you understand?"

"...Understood." Qi Ze was in pain, so he could only agree in a muffled voice.

Why is this guy pulling her face again? It really hurts, and this request is too strange.How did Que Yu know where her eyes were looking?How can I manage it?I don't know what this person is thinking, I'd better agree first, otherwise my face will be swollen.

Hearing the woman's agreement, the man seemed to be in a good mood, and immediately let go of his hands and sat back in his seat, looking frivolously at the woman who was rubbing her face sullenly.

Because of Que Yu's high status, the arranged seat was at the front, and it happened that everyone was watching Princess Xiangcheng dance again, and for a while, no one noticed the intimate movements of these two people.

"So obedient this time?" Que Yu asked leisurely, resting his chin.

Qi Ze just glanced at Que Yu indifferently, then turned his face away and said, "I'm just thanking His Highness Qin Wang for helping me, if His Highness Qin Wang didn't arrive in time, then He Lianhao would have done whatever he wanted in Nanchu. Also, when I went to court to report on my duties, the Holy Majesty did not reprimand me, it should be because His Royal Highness King Qin said something to the Holy Majesty, so the Majesty did not punish me."

She didn't think it was a coincidence that Emperor Zhaozheng didn't make things difficult for her in this report to the court and let her go easily.On the one hand, Emperor Zhaozheng was weak and busy with government affairs, so he was unable to pursue the matter; on the other hand, Que Yu must have said something to Emperor Zhaozheng, which made Emperor Zhaozheng fearful and did not dare to punish him.After all, no one would be afraid of such an unpredictable Prince Beishuo and would not dare to offend easily.

Qi Ze understood this point, and she should also thank Que Yu.

Hearing the woman's words of thanks, Que Yu didn't react much, he just chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I don't like He Lianhao, and saving you is just a matter of convenience. What's more, a man from the Western Wei Dynasty If you dare to be so presumptuous in Nanchu, someone will naturally need someone to beat you. As for old man Murong, you are used to being busy, so you are not used to not going to the court. Since you want to stay in the court, then stay. Keeping old man Murong from making things difficult is just a matter of my king's words, and it's nothing troublesome."

She wanted to stay in the court, so naturally he would not let Emperor Zhaozheng take the opportunity to punish her.With him here, the old man Murong would never try to make things difficult for her.So he went to find Emperor Zhaozheng the night before Qi Ze went to court to report on his duties, and negotiated with the relevant conditions for opening the trade route, so that Emperor Zhaozheng was busy with the business route and had no intention of thinking about punishing Qi Ze.

Otherwise, relying on Emperor Zhaozheng's small belly, he would definitely make trouble in private.Although Qi Ze could dodge it and not cause any real damage, it was still an annoying thing.

The person he wants to protect, no one else can bully him!
Although Que Yu didn't care much about what he said, Qi Ze understood that he didn't need to do these things at all. He was the Prince of Beishuo, and they were destined not to have much communication in the future.It's not in line with Que Yu's style to do things for someone who won't have much contact with him in the future, and she doesn't want to owe him favors either.

"I am very grateful for these things His Royal Highness Qin has done, but I don't need His Highness Qin's help." The woman turned her face away with a very stubborn look, "I can solve these things alone, and I don't need His Royal Highness Qin. Help."

Seeing that the woman kept repeating that she didn't need his help, and stubbornly turned her face away from him, Que Yu couldn't help but gritted his teeth angrily, what a stubborn girl!
But I still couldn't lose my temper, so I could only look at the woman in front of me and say, "I'm helping you just to repay the previous favor. When you were in Beishuo, you came forward to help me drive away those ladies from aristocratic families. Now I'm helping you." You seem to take it for granted, you don't owe me favors. Little girl, you can finally rest assured."

Is it just paying back the favor?Although she did help Que Yu when she was in Beishuo, but at the same time, she knew in her heart that even if she didn't show up, Que Yu would still be able to drive away those ladies from aristocratic families.These words were probably just an excuse, but she still felt a little more relaxed. She didn't just make a special trip to help her. She didn't like to owe favors to others.

"Well, don't worry." After speaking, Qi Ze sat upright and returned to his usual calm appearance, watching Princess Xiangcheng dance, as if the conversation just now had never happened.

Because there are cheerful and noisy silk and bamboo sounds all around, the conversation between the two is covered up, and only the other party can hear it.

The woman sat upright on the seat, no different from usual, but she didn't see that the man next to her was looking at her quietly all the time. After a long time, she smiled lightly and then sat up straight, returning to her usual lazy appearance.

This girl, why has she been refusing to accept his help? She is so stubborn!
Qi Shaoyi, oh Qi Shaoyi, you little girl who makes this king unable to lose his temper!
