Chapter 397 Is the Phoenix King Ok?

Mu Cang probably really wants to become a divine fortune teller.

The two of them drove on in a carriage, wandering and stopping, and the journey that originally took three or four days ended up taking seven days. And just on the day they arrived in the capital, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Yan Li opened the car curtain and reached out the window.

Light snow flakes fell on the palms, bringing a burst of cold air.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves ahead, the city gate opened wide, and the first horse galloped out, wearing a dark brocade robe and a thick black cloak fluttering in the wind.

Behind him were dozens of well-dressed cavalry.

Behind the cavalry are two rows of sword-wielding forest troops in blue collars and yellow coats, uniform, strict and orderly.

Yan Li's carriage slowly stopped.

The man who led the cavalry to welcome him out of the city gate was none other than the Phoenix King of the Southern Kingdom, Xuanyuan Mo. Following him was Rong Xiao, whom he had not seen for many days.

King Feng is tall and tall, with a handsome and aristocratic appearance. His brows and eyes reveal the natural majesty and majesty of the royal family. He is more cold and oppressive than the general Rong Xiao.

When he arrived outside the imperial city, he dismounted from his horse, bowed and clasped his fists in the direction of the carriage: "The Phoenix King Xuanyuan Mo of the Southern Kingdom is here to greet His Royal Highness the Princess of Jin and the Ninth Prince of the Mu Kingdom. I welcome you two who have come thousands of miles away to the supreme glory of the Southern Kingdom. ”

Rong Xiao and the cavalrymen behind him all dismounted and stood solemnly, staring at the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Mu Cang took the lead to get out of the carriage, jumped down, stood with his feet on the ground, turned around again, opened the curtain, and reached out to help Yan Li get out of the carriage.

The knight behind Rong Xiao watched quietly, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Although the eldest princess from the Jin Kingdom and the ninth prince from the Mu Kingdom are husband and wife, there is no problem for them to ride in a carriage together, but they are the princess and the prince of the same country.

Why did you come all the way to the South without even a single attendant?

It didn't look like he was on a mission, but more like he was traveling here.

"You two have worked hard all the way." King Feng stepped forward with a respectful and sincere attitude, "I have ordered a banquet to be held in the palace. Please invite the eldest princess and the ninth prince to accompany me into the palace."

Yan Li stepped out of the carriage, looked deeply at Feng Wang's calm and noble face, and bowed slightly: "Thank you so much for coming out of the city to greet Feng Wang."

"I don't dare." King Feng bowed and then raised his eyes to look at Yan Li, "Is this going smoothly for the eldest princess?"

"It went well." Yan Li smiled, with a clear expression on his face, "The Ninth Prince and I are handling some matters in Fenglu, Jin State. I stopped by to see if Prince Feng is okay?"

Feng Wang nodded calmly: "Everything is fine."

These four simple words are so reassuring.

Everything is fine in the Southern Kingdom, the situation in the court is under control, the government affairs of the country are running normally, and nothing unpleasant has happened - except for the incident with the empress.

"Eldest Princess, please get on the carriage first." King Feng looked at the falling snowflakes and frowned slightly, "It's cold outside, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time."

Yan Li nodded slowly: "Would you please lead the way, King Feng?"

With that said, the person returned to the carriage.

Mu Cang nodded slightly and followed back to the carriage.

King Feng and Rong Xiao both looked at him in silence, feeling really surprised that the world-famous God of War of the Mu Kingdom was willing to accompany a woman in a carriage?

Yan Li, who was leaning in the carriage, looked at Mu Cang who came in, looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Your reputation has been ruined today."

"What kind of fame?" Mu Cang sat down opposite her, "Men can't ride in carriages, or the God of War can't ride in carriages?"

"You, a god of war, are not suitable for riding in a carriage."

Mu Cang said calmly: "When you become the Queen of Jin, I, the God of War, may put aside my arms and become His Majesty's little sweetheart from now on."

Little sweetheart?

Yan Li looked at his intimidating face and couldn't put the word "little spoiled man" on him no matter how hard she looked.

Mu Cangquan didn't notice her questioning look: "It should feel good to eat soft rice. I can try it if I have a chance in the future."

"Soft rice doesn't taste good." Yan Li said, her eyes still falling on his face, "Mu Cang, actually you are a bit similar to the eldest brother."

"What's the similarity?"

"tolerance."

Mu Cang hummed: "Normally, they are all princes who are subordinate to others, one step away from the throne."

Yan Li chuckled: "That's right, they are all princes."

Under the emperor, there are many princes who are one step away from the throne, but one step away is often impossible to cross in a lifetime.

"If you are still free to come here next year, you will find that he is completely different from me." Mu Cang said, "A person's demeanor often changes with the change of status."

Yan Li said: "What you said makes sense."

"Are you excited when you get home?" Mu Cang sat beside her and held her hand, "Do you feel a sense of intimacy that you haven't seen for a long time?"

Yan Li was silent for a moment, raised her hand to lift the curtain at hand, and looked through the car window at the majestic city gate in front: "There is a faint melancholy."

This is where she was born and grew up until she was twenty years old.

Almost all my memories from childhood to adulthood were in this imperial city, but suddenly I arrived in a strange country, and I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to my relatives.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a priest's hall in the southern country, if it weren't for the fact that her pet was spiritual.

How could Ming Qi and Rong Xiao successfully find her place of rebirth?

I'm afraid everyone thought she was dead.

Yan Li lowered the car curtain and said, "I'm just coming back this time. I don't know how long it will take before I can go back to the South Country again."

Although she went to Jin Kingdom willingly, after returning here, she suddenly felt sad and reluctant to marry her relatives far away.

Yan Li thought so and sighed softly: "Life is unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable."

"You can come back every year at this time in the future." Mu Cang said, "Although the journey is a little far-"

"The journey is long, and the two countries are busy with government affairs. How can we travel back and forth so easily?" Yan Li shook her head and leaned lightly on his shoulder, "Besides, it will only get busier and busier in Jin. The government affairs are heavy. It's a pure waste of time to travel back and forth for so many days."

"Just think of it as a private visit in disguise to inspect the people's sentiments." Mu Cang found a reasonable reason, "Always sitting in the deep palace, how can you know how the people of the world are living?"

Yan Li tilted her head to look at him: "Private visit in disguise?"

"Yes." Mu Cang nodded slowly, his tone serious and steady, with the strategizing of controlling the world, "The world is so big, there are always corners that the sun can't shine, and there are secrets everywhere. Just sitting in the court waiting for people below to report will still block some sights and ignore some truths."
