Chapter 319: Our Majesty has prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome you.
After Chu Zixi had packed up, she raised her eyes and met Jun Feimo's deep and gentle eyes.
He slowly stretched out his hand, which was broad and warm, as if it could dispel all the haze in the world, and he wrapped her hand in it without any doubt.
Chu Zixi was slightly startled, but still obediently placed her hand in his palm, feeling the warmth and strength coming from his palm.
The two of them walked side by side with light steps, like a pair of immortal lovers, downstairs and into the bustling hall of the inn.
The atmosphere in the hall was warm and cheerful, with people laughing and talking about this grand wedding.
The hall was bustling with noise and activity, as if even the air was boiling with excitement over the upcoming grand marriage.
Jun Feimo took Chu Zixi to a quiet corner and sat down.
The guests sat in their seats, whispering to each other, their faces filled with various smiles, some of which were sincere, while others seemed a little hypocritical.
The conversations of these people were one after another, and everyone seemed to have endless topics to talk about, but all the words revolved around this grand wedding.
Because this wedding is not only the union of two people, but also represents the friendly relations between two countries, and also means the perfect combination of power and beauty.
Such a wonderful story naturally aroused great interest among people and became the focus of everyone's after-dinner conversation.
"I heard that the war king is extremely brave. He has made great achievements on the battlefield at a young age. His reputation has even spread to distant overseas." At this time, an old man with white hair and a feather fan in his hand said slowly, his eyes full of admiration for the war king.
At this time, another woman in luxurious clothes took over the topic and said, "Yes, there is also Princess Zhaoyang of our Chu State! She is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. Do you know West Street? It is said that she personally went to West Street to treat the people there and helped them build new houses. Princess Zhaoyang is truly a rare and extraordinary woman in the world!" Her words revealed her envy and admiration for Princess Zhaoyang.
"Our Majesty has only this one precious daughter. How could he bear to marry her to the Kingdom of Dongyang? Besides, Princess Zhaoyang has only been back to the country for a short time!" one of them sighed.
"Don't worry about it. The King of War of Dongyang is a rare talent. Maybe their first child after marriage will become the crown prince of our Chu State in the future!" another person responded.
The people around nodded in agreement. Indeed, His Majesty the King of Chu had never appointed a queen, and the harem was almost deserted. Currently, it was only known that he had one daughter, Princess Zhaoyang, who had just returned to the country.
Amid all the heated discussions, the most eye-catching thing was the huge bride-giving procession that was about to enter the city. People were full of anticipation and eager to witness this spectacular scene.
"I heard that there are pearls as big as pigeon eggs, crystal clear, and shining in the sunlight, just like the brightest stars in the night sky." The middle-aged scholar's description was so vivid that the listeners seemed to have seen the dazzling light of the pearls with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but have endless reverie in their hearts.
"And there are the Western Xinjiang BMWs, ten in total, all of which are rare divine horses in the world. When they run, they leave no traces on the snow and can travel a thousand miles a day, just like horses running freely in the sky, which is breathtaking." The young warrior's voice was filled with excitement and yearning, as if he had witnessed the majestic appearance of those BMWs with his own eyes.
Chu Zixi and Jun Feimo sat quietly in the corner. The noise from the outside world seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not disturb their world of two. At this moment, there was only each other in their world, and everything else became unimportant.
Jun Feimo's eyes were always fixed on Chu Zixi. His gentle eyes were filled with endless affection, as if they could melt everything in the world. Even the air around them was moved by this affection.
Chu Zixi lowered her head slightly, smiling, and took a bite of the cake, her heart filled with happiness. Jun Feimo carefully peeled the eggshell, placed the egg in front of Chu Zixi, then picked up his bowl of porridge and began to enjoy his breakfast.
The two of them finished their breakfast quietly, enjoying this moment of peace and beauty.
However, at this moment, a cheer broke the silence: "The Dongyang Kingdom's betrothal team has entered the city!"
The news spread quickly throughout the entire inn hall like a spring breeze blowing across the grassland, causing the originally calm atmosphere to instantly boil.
The guests rushed to the door, eager to witness this grand scene with their own eyes.
Chu Zixi and Jun Feimo looked at each other and followed the crowd out of the inn.
The streets were already crowded with people, and people on both sides stopped to watch, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.
In front of the gate of the Chu imperial city, King Li and the other courtiers of Chu had been waiting here for a long time. They were all excited and looking forward to the arrival of the envoy from Dongyang.
Finally, a huge team appeared on the distant horizon, with flags flying and dust rising, slowly approaching like a giant dragon.
Walking in the front was the old man Qin Qiong, a veteran of three dynasties of Dongyang State. He was riding a tall and mighty white horse, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe. He had a solemn expression and eyes as sharp as an eagle, revealing a sense of majesty and wisdom.
Hua Qianyi, Yun Shenqi and Yun Yangshuo followed closely behind. All three of them were handsome and elegant. On both sides of them were dozens of elite soldiers from Dongyang State wearing armor and holding spears. They marched in unison and with great momentum, like an indestructible Great Wall of steel, which inspired awe.
Behind them, there were boxes tied with red silk that stretched as far as the eye could see. The boxes were piled up like a mountain and seemed endless at first glance.
Upon seeing this, Prince Li hurried forward, bowed and said with a smile: "Haha, Lord Qin, you have worked hard on the journey! Our Majesty the Chu Kingdom has prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome you all."
Lord Qin smiled slightly, bowed and said in return: "Thank you for your help."
The two sides exchanged greetings again, and then the team continued to move forward towards the Chu Palace.
Along the way, people stopped to watch, marveling at the luxurious betrothal procession, and secretly wondered how grand and solemn the wedding of the Crown Prince of Dongyang and the Princess of Chu would be.
Yun Yangshuo looked at Jun Feimo and Chu Zixi in front of him, waved his hand, and shouted: "Cousin Xi..."
Jun Feimo and Chu Zixi immediately walked forward and saw that Yun Yangshuo had a shallow scar on his face. Although it was not serious, he still looked a little tired.
Chu Zixi asked with concern: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."
Yun Yangshuo waved his hand and replied with a smile: "It's okay, just a minor injury."
At this time, several ministers of the Chu State stepped forward, saluted Jun Feimo and Chu Zixi, and said in unison: "Greetings to the Princess, King Zhan."
