Chapter Fourteen: The Grand Ceremony of the Four Nations

Ziyi couldn't help but headacheingly look at Su Qingying, hoping she would come out and explain.Su Qingying shifted her gaze away, somewhat flustered. She quietly ate her grapes, eyes on her nose and...Xi'er remained silent, pressing her forehead with a hand. She couldn't shake the feeling that ever since the princess returned last night, she had become a different person entirely. Her skin seemed much thicker now. 。"Cough, let's go. We mustn't keep Ximeng waiting." 。Su Ziyì covered his mouth with his sleeve, coughed lightly, and suppressed the thoughts in his heart. He then spoke softly. 。"Well" 。Even though the female lead was having a seizure, she still had an extremely bashful expression on her face. 。"Su Ziyi's eyes twitched again. " 。Su Qingying was a princess of a country, her status was noble, so she had to ride in a carriage. Under the support of Xi'er, her extremely pretentious shy posture even made the horse under her feel a shiver down its spine. 。After Su Qingying got into the carriage, Su Zixu leaped onto a white horse led by a guard. Riding his white horse at the front of the procession, he set off in a grand manner towards Qingming Imperial Palace. 。

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch. 。

Western Palace, Imperial Garden 。The sun was shining brightly, and a sweet fragrance hung in the air. Inside the pavilions, towers, and platforms, clear water flowed gently. 。A pavilion with red pillars and green tiles stands quietly in the middle of a verdant lake. The pavilion has two sections, each with a path paved with pebbles. It's elegant without being ostentatious. 。Within the Moon Viewing Pavilion, white gauze fluttered in the wind, like a woman veiled with a veil, so ethereal and beautiful. 。In the center of the pavilion, two peerless handsome men sat opposite each other. On the stone table, there was a warm jade chessboard with black and white chess pieces arranged crisscross. 。

A purple-clad youth with hair tied up, exuding an aloof and noble aura. He wore a crown of gold interwoven with purple gems, resembling a heart orchid blooming from the depths, radiating a chilling coldness that captivated all who beheld him. His handsome features bore an air of unrivaled arrogance. 。He was clad in a black robe, his black hair cascading down his shoulders. His face, sharp as a blade, was flawless. 。

With sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, he possesses a noble and handsome appearance. His gaze is sharp and clear yet profound and enigmatic. 。

The two sides were deadlocked, each holding their ground. 。

Only the uninhibited voice of the man in black slowly rose, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the Crown Prince, and in another month it will be the Grand Ceremony of the Four Nations. In an instant, the Four Nations will gather in Ximing..." 。The East Mountain Country is located in our neighboring country, and the journey is relatively short. Therefore, we have already entered the imperial city, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will arrive at the palace today. 。And Bei Ling and Nan Jiang have also entered our country's borders, how does Your Majesty see this

The Four Nations Grand Ceremony is a symbol of friendly exchanges between the four nations, held every three years, with great fanfare, akin to the enthronement of an emperor. 。And this year, coincidentally, Lun is in charge of hosting the event in Xi Ming Guo. At that time, the four countries on the mainland will gather here. 。Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's icy lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes cold and piercing. "Hmph, the four countries are friendly, and Xi Ming, as the host country, naturally welcomes them well. If they are disrespectful, Xi Ming is not a soft persimmon that others can manipulate at will!"

Xuan Yuan Mo lightly curved his perfect lips, a glimmer flashing in his eyes. "There's a secret report saying that Bei Ling's regent, Jun Liye, arrived in the capital yesterday night. However, he is too cautious, and our people haven't found his whereabouts yet." 。"Xuanyuan Luocheng let out a cold snort. “If his whereabouts were so easily discovered by us, then the Northern Ridge Kingdom wouldn't be ranked as the top nation among the four.” 。After a moment's pause, his eyes flashed as he looked at the chessboard. He suddenly dropped a piece and said, "This person is far more dangerous than we imagined." 。The game is decided. 。In the end, Xuanyuan Luocheng won by half a piece, slightly outperforming Xuanyuan Mo. 。He stared intently at the chessboard, silent for a long time. Finally, Xuanyuan Mo raised his head, spread his hands, and laughed, “Your Majesty, you win. Your younger brother admits defeat.” 。"

Since I have won, then according to the agreement, you must arrive on time for my birthday tomorrow, and you cannot be absent." 。With an icy face, Xuen Yuan Lu Chen had finally revealed a hint of a smile. His self-proclaimed "I" further expressed the trust and brotherhood of an emperor towards his brother. 。. He stared at her for a long time, then sighed, "Ying'er, you are so arrogant, yet your arrogance is what makes me love you uncontrollably."They looked at each other and, as if by unspoken agreement,...
