    Chapter Index

    Heqin’s team entered the capital of Shengjing and gradually slowed down.Xia Wanan sat in the carriage, secretly opened the curtains and looked outside.

    More than fifty years ago, a foreign tribe from the north suddenly went south and captured Shengjing. Their tribesmen were brave and good at fighting. In less than half a year, they captured the decaying previous dynasty. They fought for several more years and annexed several small surrounding countries. They established the current Daqi Dynasty, which has the potential to dominate the world.

    Although the Southern Wei Dynasty was only a small country on the territory, far inferior to other countries, it was afraid that one day the war would continue, so it had no choice but to send the princess to marry him.

    Before she left, her father gave her many warnings and hoped that she would win favor and protect the whole country of Southern Wei.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw that the architectural style along the street was the same as that of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the clothes were also similar. There was no foreign feeling, which made Xia Wanyuan feel a bit familiar.

    However, she would not have expected that under the similar appearance, the inside was completely different due to the change of rulers.

    Daqi was originally a nomadic people on the grassland, named the Zhen clan. Their people were heroic, respected nature, and had free and unrestrained sexual relations. Except for the prohibition of promiscuity between biological parents, they did not have the same human ethics as those in the Central Plains. Treating guests with their wives, sharing wives between brothers, and sons inheriting their mothers were all common customs and common customs.

    However, after the Zhen people took over the Central Plains, in order to unify the people, they gradually accepted Han customs and changed many bad habits.

    However, there are still many obscene customs in the palace and among the high-ranking officials of the Zhen clan that are not known to ordinary people.

    The carriage drove to the door of the post house and slowly stopped. The envoy of the post house and two servants were waiting outside to greet him. The dowry servant who came with the wedding went around the back door, and Xia Wanyuan followed the envoy through the front door with her personal maid.

    After a few pleasantries and handing over documents, the envoy took Xia Wan’an to the back to rest.

    The bluestone pavement is spotlessly clean, and every plant and tree is laid out in a rigorous manner. Each step of the way is a sight to behold. The two-story building faintly visible behind the trees, with its carved beams and painted pillars, is no less than the most luxurious palace in Nanliang Palace.

    Xia Wanan was about to go forward, but the envoy leading the way turned around and took the side door to the Xiyuan on the side.

    Although the scenery of Xiyuan is good, the layout is far less grand than the main courtyard, with only a few low wing rooms.

    The envoy opened the door of the east wing and temporarily placed her here.

    Tang Wanyuan glanced around the room roughly and saw that the room was not big and not very clean.

    But when she touched the gap in the door frame, there was a thin layer of dust on her finger. It seemed that she had only done a superficial job and had not cleaned it carefully at all. She only did it perfunctorily.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and did not dare to say anything. She just whispered and ordered the maid who brought her to clean it again.

    But before she could say anything, a figure came to the front of the house with a hint of fragrance.

    “Ah, which country’s princess is here?” The voice was soft and crisp, like pearls and jade falling on the copper plate.

    Xia Wanan turned around and saw a girl in red standing at the door.

    After the envoy introduced Xia Wanyuan to the other party, he turned around and said, “This is Princess Lingxi of the Song Dynasty. She is also here for marriage.”

    Xia Wanan raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her carefully.

    I saw her bright eyes and white teeth, a pair of big black eyes with clear black and white, and long eyelashes that flickered, charming and charming.She has a petite figure and a round face with baby fat. She looks like someone’s little girl, which makes people feel friendly and cute.

    “Princess Lingxi is well.” Xia Wan gave birth to a blessed body.

    “We are all princesses, why are you so polite? Just call me Qiaoer. I am fifteen this year.” Ling Qiaoer smiled.

    Ling Qiaoer’s appearance is only above average, but when she smiles, her eyes are as curved as two crescent moons, and two small pear dimples hang from the corners of her mouth, making people’s eyes suddenly light up. She really has a beautiful smile and beautiful eyes just like her name.

    Xia Wanyuan originally thought she was only twelve or thirteen years old, but it turned out that she was already haircut.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan didn’t reply, Ling Qiaoer slapped her head and stuck out her tongue: “Ah, I forgot to mention, my surname is Ling.”

    She is a princess, so naturally she has the surname of the country, even Xia Wanyuan knows it.

    However, looking at her innocent and casual appearance, she was really just like a child. Xia Wanyuan couldn’t help but smile and introduced herself: “My surname is Xia, my maiden name is Wanyuan, and I am sixteen years old this year.”

    “Yeah, then I have to call you sister.” Ling Qiao’er took Xia Wanyuan’s wrist, “Qiao’er will call you sister Wan from now on, okay?”

    Before Xia Wanan could comment, Ling Qiaoer took her arm and pulled her affectionately into the room next door: “Sister, it’s my first time here, so the room must not be cleaned up yet. Why don’t you come and sit with me first? I’ve been bored to death these days…”

    Listening to Ling Qiaoer’s mouthful of “sister” and “sister”, Xia Wanan thought of the little girl in the palace who loved to pester her, and couldn’t help but feel a little closer to her.

    Entering the house, a maid came over with hot tea and snacks.

    “Sister, please try it. These are new teas and fruits brought from my hometown. They are so delicious that you can’t even buy them here.”

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea, and the bitter and sweet taste filled her mouth with fragrance. It was indeed extraordinary, and she couldn’t help but praise it.

    Ling Qiaoer immediately beamed with joy, called the palace maid, wrapped a package and sent it to her room.

    The two chatted for a few more words, and Xia Wanyuan realized that the Song Dynasty was closer and they had set off early. It had been half a month since Ling Qiaoer came to the post house.He has never entered the palace, just waiting for the other princesses to marry.

    Now that the state of Qi is strong and powerful, other than the Southern Wei Dynasty, the other rulers also have the same idea.

    No wonder, even though they are princesses, this post house has never treated them with great gifts.

    This princess who took the initiative to come to the door was said to be a marriage partner, but it was better to say that it was a gift from the master of his country to make peace with the big country.

    After Xia Wanyuan drank a few cups of tea, it was almost dusk. Her personal maid Lihua knocked on the door and came in. She said that the house had been tidied up and asked the princess for a signal.

    Xia Wan returned to the room, looked at it briefly, and finally nodded with satisfaction. Then she saw the new bag of tea on the table, so she picked out an exquisite piece of jewelry from the dowry and asked Lihua to give it to her.

    In the west wing room, Ling Qiaoer had taken off her outer robe, let down her hair, and was getting ready to go to bed. Seeing the hairpin that had been delivered, she couldn’t help but sit in front of the dressing table, made a simple bun, and put it on her head to make gestures.

    “Xiangming, who do you think is better looking, me or sister Wan next door?”

    “Of course it’s Sister Wan next door.”

    Xiangming was Ling Qiaoer’s personal maid, but the person who answered her at this time was a male voice.

    Xiyuan is the residence of female relatives. Men are not allowed to enter at will. Even if they have something to do, they should ask for permission outside the house. However, the man walked to the inner room openly and stood behind Ling Qiaoer.
