She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 270 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 39

On New Year's Eve, Lan Zhinian's procession entered from the outskirts of the capital of Chen State with great fanfare, stretching for two or three miles. His carriage alone was so magnificent that the people of Chen State were astonished.

After hearing the report, the Emperor of Chen became more suspicious of Lan Zhinian's purpose.

If you are only staying in Chen State for a few days, is it necessary to bring so many guards and officials?

When they reached the outside of the palace, the two rows of guards in front of the carriage stopped. There was no movement in the carriage for a long time. The officials of the State of Chen could not help but look at each other and tentatively said to the people accompanying Lan Zhinian's carriage:

"Your Majesty, please move. Carriages are not allowed in the palace."

Lan Zhinian was leaning on a soft pillow, half lying in the carriage in a nondescript manner, with one leg bent and a book in his hand, not responding at all.

His attendant responded coldly: "Our Majesty is unwell and cannot leave the carriage. Please forgive us."

The officials of the State of Chen were in a dilemma. They were not allowed to ride horses or carriages in the palace. This was the palace rule of their State of Chen. How could they make an exception for the emperor of the State of Yan? Where would the dignity of the royal family be?

Could it be that Lan Zhinian felt that they were trying to intimidate him?

Although they do have such thoughts, the rules do exist.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. After passing this gate, you only need to walk a short distance and there will be a sedan chair waiting for you."

Lan Zhinian threw the book aside and said casually, "Then let the carriage go there."

If you want him to give in, apart from Cang Cang, he really doesn't know how to spell the word "compromise".

His attendant also said coldly: "Our Majesty has come from afar, but your country only arranged a few officials to welcome him. Such hospitality is really eye-opening."

"this......"

The officials of the State of Chen became a little suspicious for a moment. Could it be that the difference in the rituals of the two countries was so great? When they welcomed the monarchs of other countries, it was always the high-ranking officials who welcomed them here, and the royal family members waited outside the Chengtian Hall. There was nothing wrong with this arrangement, right?

The two countries signed the peace treaty in Yan State. There has never been a precedent of the monarch visiting the other country in recent years. Perhaps there is indeed a misunderstanding.

The prime minister thought for a moment and gave an explanation, but Lan Jinian didn't buy it.

He had no choice but to send someone in to ask the emperor for instructions. They couldn't stand this stalemate any longer, even though Lan Jinian was thick-skinned and didn't think it was a big deal.

After hearing the report, the emperor's mood became even more uncertain. He always felt that Lan Zhinian was looking for trouble.

He also felt a bit of a headache, so he arranged for Yan Qizhao to represent the royal family to greet them. Only then did Lan Zhinian agree to move forward, but he still had to take a carriage.

Yan Qizhao watched coldly, as if he could see through the carriage to the people inside.

Is this the person chosen by Cang Cang?

Could it be that he thought that he had won something just because Chen State made concessions?

He is so narrow-minded and competitive. You can tell at a glance that he is not an easy person to get along with. If Cang Cang really stays with him, won't he suffer a lot of grievances?

Lan Zhinian felt the malicious gaze but didn't take it seriously.

The State of Chen would sooner or later be included in his plan of conquest. He had no intention of maintaining harmonious relations with the State of Chen. If it were not for the purpose of welcoming Cang Cang, he would not have come here in person.

After the carriage passed through a palace gate, Lan Zhinian finally got off the carriage. He glanced at the sedan chair and sat on it with a reluctant expression.

Yan Qizhao saw that he was wearing a red robe and a crane cloak, his steps were casual and his black hair was flying in the wind along with the crane feathers of the cloak.

When he turned around, he saw that face and gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that Lan Jinian might have relied on this face to deceive Cang Cang's heart.

Perfect appearance, nasty inside.

Yan Qizhao kept cursing in his heart along the way. Lan Jinian seemed to have sensed something and looked down at the back of the young man walking in front of him.

He was dressed in the attire of a prince, with his back straight and his manners excellent.

I just heard the Prime Minister of Chen say that he is the Prince of Yi. I heard that he is a rare genius. However, he is too resentful. He was just asked to come to greet him, but he is so resentful.

Lan Zhinian withdrew his gaze and wondered in his heart whether Cang Cang would be willing to attend the party with him in the evening.

Shen Weicang was with Tan Yuan in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

She came to Tan Yuan today to ask him to cut off the connection between them. Apart from this, she always felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.

When she walked into the yard, Tan Yuan was staring at the fish swimming in the pond with a straight look in his eyes.

"Master, Miss Shen is here."

Tan Yuan suddenly woke up, looked away, and immediately walked over with surprise and joy: "Why did Cang Cang think of me?"

The girl was wearing a fiery red cloak. One hand stretched out from the cloak and naturally handed it to Tan Yuan for him to hold: "Can't I come? Did I disturb the good things of the Imperial Master?"

Tan Yuan held him in his arms as they walked across the wooden bridge over the pond, and said gently, "The best thing for me is that Cang Cang comes to see me."

The two entered the house, and he helped Shen Weicang untie and take off his cloak, and sat down on the couch.

Shen Weicang was wearing a green wide-sleeved dress with a collar and hem embroidered with branch patterns. After she sat down, Tan Yuan helped her tidy up her long hair which was a little messy due to her cloak.

She showed a quirky smile and winked at him: "Of course I sensed that you were not in a good mood, Tan Yuan, so I came to accompany you."

Tan Yuan was indeed in a bad mood. Just now, when he was staring at the fish in the pond, he wanted to go down and pick one up to eat to relieve his anger.

However, when his sweetheart came, all his mixed emotions were calmed down, and his face was gentle and peaceful: "I did have some worries recently, but now that Cang Cang is here, all my worries are gone."

Shen Weicang supported his chin with both hands, and his wide sleeves slipped down, revealing the narrow-sleeved jacket and slender white wrists underneath.

"Then why are you in such a bad mood, Tan Yuan? Let me help you out."

Seeing her so adorable and cold, Tan Yuan felt a sour feeling in his heart. He didn't know how to tell her. What could he say?

She said that he came to the world to experience the tribulation of love, and that he could not be with her, otherwise he would fail in the tribulation and all his cultivation would be destroyed. In a few years, she would see him turn into a nine-tailed fox, and in a few years again, a one-tailed fox, and in a few years more, he would die in front of her?

No one could accept spending the rest of his life with a fox. He was no longer worthy of spending his life with her.

If he doesn't tell her these things, and waits for him to return to his rightful place after surviving the ordeal, perhaps he can still bring Cang Cang back to Lingwu Mountain. After all, they have loved each other before, and with his essence in her body, there is a glimmer of hope for her to become an immortal.

Tan Yuan hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell her about this for the time being.

He said vaguely: "Some things about cultivation are beyond my comprehension for the time being. I can only rely on myself to break through these things. I'm afraid Cang Cang can't help me."

Shen Weicang didn't even want to help him, so he nodded when he heard it: "You are so capable, you must just lack an opportunity."

After that, she sighed in a pretentious manner: "I am also a little troubled, Tan Yuan, do you feel it?"

Hearing this, Tan Yuan immediately asked with concern: "What happened? Cang Cang, just tell me and I will help you solve it."

Shen Weicang asked tentatively: "Have you not sensed what happened around me recently?"

Tan Yuan shook his head. The connection between the two was beyond his expectations. He also didn't intend to use this as an opportunity to keep an eye on Cang Cang every day. Normally, he would take the initiative to cut off contact and never pry into her life casually.

Of course, doing this is also to avoid heartbreak. What if he suddenly sees something he shouldn't see and he is the only one who is sad and upset? So why bother?

"How could I do such a despicable thing?" He saw Shen Weicang's temptation and smiled lightly, "I will only sense it when you are in danger."
