    Cold reception from the emperor

    The next day, a mighty wedding honor guard entered Shengjing. The extravagant dowry caused the common people to gather on both sides of the long street like two long dragons. They talked happily along the way and watched the procession move forward.

    Several maids who were close to Wen Qiyu and the two wedding ceremony officials from Nanliang arrived at the post station. The long line of bridesmaids carried the dowry into the Daming Palace first, and then turned back.

    Angels are waiting at the door of the inn to welcome you.

    Wen Qiyu got out of the carriage surrounded by her maids, and came in a rich dress. Her face was hidden behind the bead curtain and she couldn’t see clearly, but her voice was as clear as the impact of beads and jade, and she said, “Angels have been waiting for a long time.”

    The angel led the group into the post station, and said slowly: “Your honor, you have traveled a long way. Please repair at the post station today. Tomorrow, the palace will send two carriages with four horses to welcome you and Princess Xiao into the palace.”

    “Princess Xiao?” She couldn’t help but pause. It turned out that she was not the only one getting married this time.

    “Don’t you know, noble lady? Princess Xiao is already resting on the third floor of the inn.”

    “Thank you, angel, for reminding me.” She responded, and then said to the maids, “Be gentle and don’t disturb anyone.”

    Wen Qiyu returned to the wing on the second floor, took off her heavy clothes, and drank the best frozen Longjing tea, enjoying a rare day of leisure.

    Several maids were busy tidying up the house and placing the luggage properly.

    In the hurry, someone knocked on the door, and a maid shouted from outside the door: “Is the noble Nanliang in the house? I, Princess Xiao, heard that the noble is here, so I came here to pay attention.”

    In this case, they don’t dare to neglect.

    Wen Qiyu and the maids walked to the door together. The princess came to visit in person, and she greeted her personally.

    The rosewood door suddenly opened, and the two world-famous beauties were like two gems colliding, causing countless rays of light…

    The Xiao Kingdom is a noble country in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the people in the Central Plains, Xiao people have a free and bold nature.Princess Xiao’s skin is delicate, honey-colored and healthy, and her big black and white eyes are even more impressive and unforgettable at first sight.Wen Qiyu couldn’t help but admire her, she was really an exotic beauty.

    But she is a standard southern beauty, with skin like cream, wrists like jasper, and hands as soft as silk.Her eyes are not as big as Princess Xiao’s, but they are always misty, and her eyelashes are thickly curled, making you lose your mind at first sight…

    Princess Helianru of the Xiao Kingdom was already in a state of turmoil…

    Just now, if it is said that two gems collide, if they are compared face to face, one will shine brightly and the other will be destroyed.She has been beautiful since she was a child, and this is the first time she has seen a woman lose her soul for a moment… She is filled with dissatisfaction and rage.But there was no clue on her face, and she said kindly: “My sister is so beautiful, no wonder the world praises her for being unique.”

    She Kankan and Hairpin, presumably younger than Princess Xiao, responded to the call of sister and said with a smile: “Sister, I am so complimentary. I have never seen someone with such dazzling eyes as my sister. My surname is Wen and my name is Qiyu. I wonder what I call my sister?”

    Helian Ru smiled happily and said, “Xiao Guo’s surname is Helian, and his given name is Ru. Today, you and I are both tired from traveling, so we don’t dare to bother you too much. We will always meet in the Daming Palace in the future, so we can make an appointment with my sister next time.”

    “Okay.” She also smiled.

    Helianru returned to the wing on the third floor and smashed the tea cup with her hand, her face full of anger and her eyes widening in horror.

    “It might not be appropriate for the people downstairs to hear what the princess is saying.” Lan Yue, her personal maid, advised.

    She knew it, pouted her little mouth, and said in a low voice: “Tell me, are those breasts of hers real or fake?” It’s okay to be as beautiful as that, but she also has such a pair of breasts, and she doesn’t know what she ate to grow them up. If this doesn’t take away the emperor’s favor, there is no place for her in the Daming Palace!

    “There was a city lord who checked me out along the way, so it shouldn’t be fake.” Lan Yue replied.

    Because the Xiao State had been friendly with the Ming Dynasty for generations, and was located between the Iron Dan State and the Dayue State, it happened to help the Ming contain the two ambitious countries. Therefore, the Xiao State was not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but an extremely noble ally.

    When it came to getting married to the legitimate princess of the Xiao Kingdom, no city lord dared to have her body checked in person. They all asked the youngest to take a body check and record the marriage, and paid homage to her like a Bodhisattva.Therefore, they would not have thought that Wen Qiyu’s journey would be completely different…

    Seeing that her princess was extremely angry, Lan Yue persuaded her generously: “The princess is really a fan of the authorities. What if the beauties of Nanliang go to heaven? There is a blood feud between the Emperor of Heaven and Nanliang…”

    As soon as these words came out, she was instantly awakened.He Lianru smiled happily and said: “I am really confused. That’s right, the emperor will only dote on her if he gets mad and goes crazy. Hahaha.”

    Their guess came true the next day.

    The two noble ladies, dressed in fine clothes, bowed and knelt down in the Taihe Hall, which was the hall where the Ming Dynasty received its allies.

    Someone behind me shouted: “The Emperor is here.”

    They heard countless kneeling sounds and footsteps approaching from far away…

    The young emperor Liu Sheng walked into the palace and stood between the two girls. He glanced at the clothes on each side and quickly recognized the back of Princess Xiao. He personally knelt down to help her up and said gently, “Ru’er has not seen her for two years, and she is even more stunningly beautiful.”

    When He Lianru saw Liu Sheng again after two years, her whole heart was in a state of trembling. Her face was filled with red clouds, and her love was surging. She said coquettishly, “The emperor will make fun of me.” Then she glanced at the man playfully, “The emperor is also very good-looking.”

    She originally followed the prince’s brother to Shengjing, and was obsessed with the prosperous Ming Dynasty and Liu Sheng, the god who descended from heaven.

    “I have already drafted the edict.” Liu Sheng gave Chang Hai a look, and Chang Hai immediately gave a look to the little eunuch follower. The little eunuch held the edict high and declared: “The emperor Zhao said…”

    He Lianru hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, only to hear he say: “Princess Xiao, who is distinguished and noble, virtuous and virtuous, is specially granted the title of concubine, given the name Xiao, and given the residence of Beichen Palace. To show the good of the two countries for generations.”

    “Thank you, Your Majesty!” She quickly kowtowed to express gratitude, held the edict in her hand, and smiled brightly at the Emperor.

    “Ru’er hasn’t been to Daming Palace for a long time. I will take you to Beichen Palace myself.” After saying that, he took her hand and made a gesture to walk out.

    However, Helianru pulled He, turned his eyes to the woman who had been kneeling silently, and said softly: “Your Majesty, Sister Wen is still waiting for the order.”

    This sentence, which seemed to be well-intentioned, brought Wen Qiyu’s embarrassing situation to the table.

    Liu Sheng’s eyes turned to her back, his eyes as cold as a scabbard.Such a look finally made Helianru feel relieved.The emperor sneered and said, “Since she is a beauty praised by Nanliang, let’s call her a beauty. Chang Hai, let her settle as you like.” After that, as if he was afraid of being exposed to bad luck, he quickly walked out of the Taihe Palace without paying attention to Helianru.

    “Your Majesty, wait a moment, my concubine…” He Lianru couldn’t suppress the smile in her voice, her proud eyes glanced at Wen Qiyu’s back, and she quickly chased after him.

    From beginning to end, she was as solid as a stubborn stone, silent, as humble as dust.
