Su Ting'an felt a little awkward under Li Yunyan's gaze. His ears turned pink and he involuntarily lowered his eyes.
A sweet fragrance approached, and Li Yunyan's slender white fingers pinched his chin.
She lifted his face, admiring him intently. "My two older sisters aren't good people. You'd better be careful in the future, or they might steal you away!"
Such a beautiful cabbage, don't let the pigs ruin it!
Su Ting'an's heart raced, and he spoke gently but firmly, "I... am the Third Princess's man. I will be careful with my words and actions from now on, and wait for the Third Princess to return!"
Li Yunyan choked; that wasn't what she actually meant!
Well... it's not impossible!
There was no time for flirting. Li Yunyan glanced at him a few more times, then released his chin and walked away, her heart pounding.
Su Ting'an's bright eyes dimmed slightly as he stared intently in the direction she had left.
His upright posture, as straight as a pine tree, appeared serene and resilient in the flickering candlelight.
When Li Yunyan returned to the palace, it was already late in the morning.
With dawn approaching, Li Yunyan seized the opportunity and sneaked into the room where the palace maids lived.
She needed to get rid of the two palace maids ahead of time.
These two palace maids were sent by the eldest and second princesses!
If the spies sent by the other princes and princesses were only trying to find out about Li Yunyan's future affairs in Beishuo, then the palace maids sent by these two older sisters were trying to embarrass her and make her suffer a terrible death!
In the story, they embezzled a lot of the original owner's dowry. Not only did they not serve her well, they also joined forces with the people of Beishuo Kingdom to bully her!
Letting such lackeys live even one more day is an act of mercy!
Li Yunyan brought out two white silk ribbons, creating the illusion that they didn't want to go to the marriage alliance and committed suicide.
He clapped his hands and returned to his own bedchamber.
Whether others believe it or not doesn't matter. As long as those two bad apples are gone, she can relax a bit more on this journey.
Even if their bodies were discovered before they set off, it would be too late for the eldest and second princesses to give her more people!
Not long after Li Yunyan lay down, Yuzhu and Yudie came in.
Yuzhu whispered in her ear, "Princess, get up. You need to wear a formal dress today, so you need to prepare early!"
Li Yunyan opened her eyes and sat up.
The voice was calm and composed: "Let's begin!"
Yu Die brought her a set of bright red curved-hem robes and helped her change into them. Yu Zhu styled her hair into an elaborate bun and then put a golden hair crown on her head.
Li Yunyan suddenly felt as if she had gained more than ten pounds.
She simply closed her eyes to catch up on sleep, her mind preoccupied with her thoughts, letting the two of them fuss over her.
After finishing her makeup and dressing, Li Yunyan opened her eyes to the astonishment of the two men.
"Princess, you are so beautiful!"
"The princess is so beautiful, what a lucky man for the prince consort of that barbarian kingdom!"
Li Yunyan looked at her bright face in the bronze mirror and smiled slightly.
She doesn't want that prince consort from that barbarian country!
She wants to choose for herself!
Li Yunyan was willing to go to Beishuo for a political marriage instead of running away halfway. Besides wanting to retain her status as a princess, there was another reason: she really wanted to see the grasslands!
She has lived in so many small worlds in the prosperous Central Plains, it's time for her to experience the scenery of the grasslands!
Hearing the noise outside become louder, Li Yunyan stood up and clasped her hands together in front of her.
"Let's go."
Since it was not a marriage alliance of great value, the send-off ceremony was not elaborate.
Surrounded by palace servants, Li Yunyan slowly walked into the wedding procession of Bei Shuo.
[Ding! Excellent male detected! Host, please focus on the mission and actively complete it!]
Oh?!
Li Yunyan looked around and saw a handsome face with very deep facial features.
He didn't wear a crown; his hair was braided into small plaits. Judging from the shape of his bangs and a few unruly strands, his hair was slightly curly.
He had a healthy, sunny complexion, a high nose bridge, eagle-like eyes, and a cynical smile at the corner of his mouth, exuding an air of wickedness.
His casual posture suggests that he held no reverence for this marriage alliance.
Indeed, a corrupt and incompetent country has nothing to be revered!
Li Yunyan admired his roguish charm; his face and his attire made it clear at a glance that he wasn't from the Central Plains!
Could this person be the wedding envoy from Beishuo?
The system promptly displayed his information.
Fu Luo Youqi, the third prince of Bei Shuo, is 19 years old and 193cm tall.
It was the third prince!
Li Yunyan raised an eyebrow. Since they were both princes, it would make sense for her to marry him, right?
Their eyes met briefly for a second before Li Yunyan turned and bowed to the emperor and empress on the high platform.
"Your subject, Li Yunyan, bids farewell to Father Emperor and Mother Empress!"
Li Yunyan spoke concisely, without any emotional outpouring. In any case, after this parting, she would never see these cheap relatives again.
The emperor and empress only made a brief appearance and left after sitting for a few minutes, surrounded by palace servants.
The officials who escorted the bride, whose identities were unknown, uttered a long string of polite words. Li Yunyan listened with her eyes lowered until the ceremony was finally completed.
Just as Li Yunyan was about to turn around, someone called out to her.
"Third sister! Please wait!"
The eldest and second princesses blocked her way.
The eldest princess held her head high, exuding an imposing aura, "I never imagined that my third sister would be the first among us sisters to get married!"
Li Yunyan looked at the eldest princess, "My eldest sister is no less impressive. Although she is not yet married, she already has several potential husbands!"
