His Majesty the Emperor had met Nangong Xian several times and liked her very much. His eyes were noticeably softer when he looked at her.
The emperor said amiably, "What can the fairy do? Whatever she can do, come!"
Nangong Xian picked up her flute and said, "I only know how to dance with a sword, but weapons are not allowed in the palace, so I will use the flute instead of a sword..." She bowed and said, "Excuse me for the performance!"
After saying that, Nangong Xian walked from behind the table to the stage.
She was wearing a silk dress and dancing with the sword, she still had an unstoppable momentum. It seemed that what she was playing with in her hand was not a flute, but a real sword!
When the Emperor saw the momentum of Nangong Xianwu’s sword dance, his smiling eyes gradually became serious.
He saw the aura of General Nangong from Nangong Xian.
They say daughters are inferior to sons, but General Nangong doesn't have a son to his name. Nangong Xian's banditry and ruthlessness are even more brutal than those of ordinary men. If she's given enough room to grow, she might be able to wreak havoc on the battlefield!
Nangong Xian put away the flute in her hand and gave the prince a provocative look, as if to say: I am just so fierce, your sickly body can't withstand it.
However, the look in Dugu Jie's eyes when he looked at her was exceptionally deep, just like a hungry wolf looking at its food.
On the second day after the palace banquet, Nangong Xian received an imperial edict, and she was chosen by Dugu Jie to become the Crown Princess!
After receiving the imperial edict, Nangong Xian's head was buzzing.
how so?
How could she be worthy of being the Crown Princess!
Despite her reluctance, Nangong Xian still had to marry Dugu Jie.
The wedding was set for two months later, and during those two months, Nangong Xiandu had to stay in the General's Mansion to learn how to be a Crown Princess. She could no longer practice archery, but had to learn how to cook, manage accounts, and govern the entire Eastern Palace.
Nangong Xian became more and more haggard day by day and became visibly thinner.
On this day, the palace sent her former maid Zhan'er to the general's mansion.
Zhan Er was very surprised to find that Nangong Xian had lost weight after only half a month of not seeing her. "Miss, why have you lost weight?"
Nangong Xian hugged Zhan'er and said, "Where have you been? I thought you were killed by the Queen..." Nangong Xian made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Zhan'er was wearing a veil, so no one could see her slightly blushing face.
After Nangong Xian released her, Zhan'er said, "I went out of the palace to see my family and just came back yesterday. Congratulations, Miss. You will soon be living in the East Palace and will become the Crown Princess."
Nangong Xian's face immediately fell. "What's there to congratulate? It's so boring to be locked up in the palace for the rest of your life competing with a bunch of women for the favor of one man."
Zhan'er didn't expect Nangong Xian to react like this, and a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes.
