Hearing this voice, Yu Yunxi quickly raised his head and met a pair of smiling eyes.

"Brother?" She said in surprise.

Isn't the person in front of me Feng Sheng?

"Ahem, girl Yunxi, you are finally here. This is the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, your savior."

The Supreme Emperor Chu Rui immediately waved to Yun Xi.

Even though Yu Yunxi had hundreds of questions in her heart, she could only suppress her doubts and quickly walked to Chu Rui's side.

"I'm sorry, I didn't confess my identity to you at the beginning because I was worried that it would burden you."

Feng Sheng, no, strictly speaking it should be Xiao Shici, he explained patiently.

"But you are obviously the son of Princess Tianxia, ​​you..."

"Actually, the poor boy my mother-in-law wanted to marry despite disobeying my grandfather was the emperor of the Northern Xiao Kingdom. But for some reasons, my mother-in-law never told the world the identity of my father. No one knew that she was another My identity is the noble concubine of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, and I am the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom."

Xiao Shici explained her doubts to Yu Yunxi very seriously, word for word.

"Does the adoptive father and the others know about this?" Yu Yunxi asked, frowning.

"I found out a few days ago. But they also respect me and don't interfere with anything I do." Xiao Shici nodded.

Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici explained back and forth.

A certain Supreme Emperor sat down on the chair next to him in a comfortable mood.

He crossed his legs and started chatting with Eunuch Li Xu next to him.

"Tell me, are they a good match?"

Eunuch Li Xu: "..."

"Your Majesty, I have received news that among the Tianxia Kingdom who came this time was their regent."

He quickly came closer and lowered his voice to remind.

The eldest princess is not only the fiancée of the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, she is also the princess of the regent of the Tianxia Kingdom.

If they were to run into each other, it would definitely be Shura Field.

How could he still have the guts and mood to say who the eldest princess is a good match for?

What?

Chu Rui narrowed his eyes and his face turned cold.

"Didn't you say that only their prince came? Why did Feng Yili come too?"

Chu Rui asked through gritted teeth.

Although he has never had a head-to-head confrontation with Feng Yili, he has heard about the other party.

This person is very difficult to deal with.

"This...servant doesn't know. I heard that he suddenly appeared at the inn, and even the prince of Nanduan Kingdom was frightened." Li Xu explained with a sad face.

"Appeared suddenly? I'm afraid that he came to Kyoto a long time ago and has been plotting something secretly."

Chu Rui snorted coldly, and then said in disgust.

He had no good feelings at all towards the man who almost killed his granddaughter.

And Xiao Shici has a calm and gentle personality, and he has saved Yun Xi girl so many times.

No matter how you look at him, he is a good man.

Yu Yunxi didn't know what her grandfather was thinking. What she was thinking about now was breaking off the engagement.

Now that we are all acquaintances, it should be much easier to bring up this matter.

"Third Prince, my engagement with you..."

"Yun Xi, I know you don't want to marry me. But can I ask you something?" Xiao Shici interrupted Yu Yunxi's words in a serious tone.

beg?

The other party was his savior. How could Yu Yunxi refuse when he used such words.

She nodded quickly: "Third Prince, just say so."

"Although my father values ​​me, I am not a direct descendant after all, and the prince's party is still ready to make a move. My engagement with you means that Xi Chu and I are of the same lineage, so that I can stabilize the old stubborns in the court. But if we If I break off the engagement, I will be in a very difficult position."

Xiao Shici said these words in a solemn tone.

Yu Yunxi's heart sank again and again after hearing this.

She understood his difficulty.

"I also know that this matter has embarrassed you. But I only need half a year. When I have completely conquered the military power of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, it will be time for us to break off the engagement. During this period, we are just friends and brother and sister. I will never force anything on you. On the contrary, if you need anything from me, just ask."

Xiao Shici explained again extremely seriously.

Yu Yunxi raised her head and looked into his sincere eyes. She couldn't say any more words of rejection.

Well, that’s just half a year.

She could still afford to wait at this time.

"Okay, I promise you." Yu Yunxi nodded quickly.

"You saved me three times. I should help you with this." She added.

"three times?"

"Have you forgotten that it was you who attracted the attention of the Crown Prince of South Vietnam and helped us during the battle between Southwest China and South Vietnam and Northern Xiao Kingdom?"

Yu Yunxi shook his head and chuckled.

She asked why his back looked so familiar.

It turns out that they have crossed paths so many times.

"I didn't expect that you still remember that thing." Xiao Shici chuckled.

The way the two of them talked was very relaxed, as if they were two close friends who knew each other well.

Over there, a certain Supreme Emperor coughed, attracting their attention.

"Shi Ci, when you sent girl Yun Xi back, I didn't have time to properly thank you."

"The Emperor's words are serious. In the past few days, I have also encountered some things. It was Yun Xi who came to help me. I also owe her a favor."

Xiao Shici shook his head and explained with a smile.

"It turns out that you have already met in private. I was worried that you were not familiar with each other. You are really destined, and you are worthy of being engaged."

Chu Rui stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, actually the third prince and I..."

Yu Yunxi wanted to explain her relationship with Xiao Shici.

But at this time, Xiao Shici spoke before her: "The Emperor, I heard that you love playing chess very much. I also have some knowledge of chess. If not, can I ask you for advice on chess skills tonight?"

"That's good!"

Chu Rui couldn't be more excited.

He has never been able to find an opponent, and his hands are itching to death these days.

He quickly asked Li Xu to prepare the chessboard.

"If you lose badly tonight, don't cry." Chu Rui snorted coldly, and then said arrogantly.

Xiao Shici shook his head and chuckled, but didn't say anything.

When he turned around, he lowered his voice and said to Yun Xi: "The reason why I maintain my engagement with you is not to be known to the Supreme Emperor. I can see that he actually loves you very much and hopes that you can be happy."

His words gradually suppressed Yu Yunxi's desire to explain.

She looked at her grandfather who looked happy even from behind, and her mood was a little complicated.

Grandfather seemed very satisfied with Xiao Shici.

That’s all, we can only take one step at a time.

Sighing in her heart, Yu Yunxi hurriedly followed.

They played chess in the palace for nearly two hours, and it was already late at night.

A certain Supreme Emperor had a draw with Xiao Shici several times in a row, which made him extremely depressed.

He still wanted to continue playing chess with Xiao Shici, but Yu Yunxi could only remind him helplessly: "Grandpa, it's already late at night. You don't need to rest, the third prince still needs to rest."
