C20 And the Single Princess
The red flag was being tossed and turned by the wind. Soldiers wearing silver armor were lined up at the foot of the long stairs, and all the citizens were cheering and clamoring non-stop. Today was the day their princess was to be married, and the whole country was celebrating.
The Xiao Yue Kingdom's ruler held his favorite third princess' hand as he slowly walked down the red carpeted steps. His eyes were filled with pity and helplessness.
"My poor child, I have let you go to the marriage alliance. I have truly let down your dead mother!" Xiao Yue's country king looked at his beloved daughter with a face full of guilt.
"Father, I am very happy to be able to contribute to Xiao Yue Country." A resolute expression was revealed in the eyes of the single princess. That resolute expression reflected in the eyes of the king was filled with such sorrow and helplessness.
Seeing how determined her daughter was, the king didn't want to say anything else and could only sigh: "Take good care of yourself on the way to Xuan Shuang Empire, and don't be bullied when you get there. If someone hurts you, come back and tell royal father, royal father will take revenge for you."
Standing in front of the luxurious carriage, Princess Dan Zi faintly smiled as she looked up at the window above the palace. Inside the window, there was a grey shadow standing. The single princess withdrew her gaze and gently covered the old face of the country lord with her hand. She wanted to smooth the wrinkles on the country lord's face, causing him to tremble lightly.
"Royal father, no matter what happens, I will always be your daughter. I will forever be a citizen of Xiao Yue." With a bright smile, he entered the carriage without waiting for the king to say anything.
She did not want to listen. She did not want to listen to these sad parting words. One day, she would return, bringing everything with her. When that time came, there would be nothing left for her to leave!
After getting into the carriage, the single princess took a deep breath and looked calmly at the people outside who were cheering loudly. His people were also her people.
On the fifteenth day, they left the Xiao Yue Country and arrived at the first city of the Xuan Zhi Empire – Jin Shui City. Everyone in Jinshui City surrounded the three princesses on both sides of the road and stretched out their necks to catch a glimpse of the third princess' appearance. The daughter of the legendary beauties, the favorite princess of the Xiao Yue Country's Emperor, with too many titles and veils surrounding her, everyone's curiosity was piqued.
Man Han came to Jinshui City to receive the carriage and the Single Princess. He sat on a pure white horse and squinted his eyes as he coldly looked at Xiao Yue Guo's princess. He didn't know what kind of ruthless person would come this time.
The luxurious carriage slowly moved forward. Silver armored soldiers followed behind it. The orderly guard of honor solemnly lined up in front of the carriage. They stopped when they saw that Man Han had sent someone to pick them up.
A eunuch stepped forward and leisurely walked in front of Manhan's horse, "The third princess of Xiao Yue has arrived."
"Welcome!" Man Han waved his hand and the soldiers behind him surrounded her. They stood in two rows with their heads slightly lowered, respectfully greeting the Princess of Xiao Yue.
The carriage rolled on, all the way to the front of Man Han. The woman in the carriage wore a veil on her face, and her mesmerizing eyes swept over Man Han, and her body trembled as if struck by lightning. This woman had trained in the art of bewitchment, and she was only 18 years old, but she had already achieved such an achievement.
A woman who had trained in the art of seduction was terrifying. Being able to practice bewitching arts, it is obvious that she is not a simple woman. Furthermore, if she is unable to control herself properly and is placed by the Sovereign King's side, she will destroy this country for you!
Too terrifying! It was too scary! Man Han's hands gripped the reins tightly, and sweat started to appear on his forehead.
The girl in the carriage chuckled. Her bell-like laughter spread through the air and reached everyone's ears, causing them to be entranced. The three souls and six souls were sucked away, while Man Han was sweating profusely. It was not because he lacked the means to deal with Princess Dan, but when his mind was about to enter a trance, he suddenly woke up.
Just as he was thinking about this, the person in the carriage spoke. "General Man, are you still not leaving?"
"Yes." He pulled the horse forward.
Everyone held their breath as they waited for the figure on the stage to appear. The bright red tent hung down and the wind blew, causing them to feel extremely ethereal. The light in the background was a little dim, but it just happened to merge with the hanging tent, creating a very harmonious and comfortable feeling.
As the tent was removed, the light muslin curtain fluttered in the air as the music gradually began to play. At some point, a petite and enchanting figure had appeared in the middle of the stage.
Her long, wavy golden hair hung down to her waist and her arms slowly rose up, outlining the perfect curves of a female. Her slender, white, slender legs, slightly pointed feet, she slowly turned around with a silver mask on her face, revealing only her lower half of her face and a pair of alluring eyes.
The gentle, beautiful, and sorrowful girl slowly rang out. As she leapt up, the melody she sent out was tightly entangled in everyone's ears:
Just like this black mandala,
Beautiful and enchanting beyond measure,
Flowers infatuated with love,
The bitterness of being deprecated into the mortal world,
There was black blood running in his heart,
He kept singing in the depths of his soul.
Love is the release of one another.
Hate, is the love of the Queen,
Waving his sword to cut off the rain of tears
You are a wound in my heart forever.
The lights gradually dimmed, and everything returned to the scene from before. The bright red tent was pulled up once more, and that soft black figure disappeared from the stage.
"Lovesick!" "Lovesick!" It was unknown who shouted first, but then there were continuous shouts from below the stage, as if they were trying to force Acacia out.
She sat on the backstage chair and hurried over. Looking at how leisurely she was, a fire lit up in her heart, "Why are you still so relaxed? The stage in front of us is about to be overturned by someone! "
"So what?!" She raised her eyebrows and said, "You're not going to let me go down there to pacify our guests, are you?"
"Then at least show your face once more!" Zi Chen felt a little depressed.
"Why are you showing your face!" "Let them marry me back!" She rolled her eyes at Zi Chen.
"But this isn't the way to go on!" Zi Chen was slightly anxious.
At this time, Jiang Zhu hurriedly walked over with a silver mask on his face and said in an urgent voice, "Miss, a guest has come to see you!" "A thousand."
She spoke with disdain, "It's only a thousand taels, what is there to be proud of!? "Retreat!"
Jiang Zhu gave an evil smile: "A thousand taels of gold. Will Miss meet me or not?"
"Oh, a thousand gold!" The corners of her mouth hooked up into a playful smile: "Interesting! For a dancer, spending a thousand taels of gold was either a lecherous person or an idiot, or had a huge background. Zi Chen, what do you think it is? "
Zi Chen slightly sunk and said with a frown, "I'm afraid it's the latter! There was no need for him to be so courteous. It was either a thief or a scoundrel! Not easy to deal with! "
"Is that so?" She turned around and gestured Jiang Zhu to lead the way. "It's challenging. I like it."
