Chapter 488 Who Does She Want to Marry?
It would be a lie for Xiao Lanyuan to say that he was not tempted by the medicinal mud shipped this time from the ancient country of Nanci.
His leg has healed, but he is just pretending to fool others.
But his face never got better.
The scar on his face is almost becoming a source of worry for him.
But recently, he had been dreaming about Fu Zhaoning. Xiao Lanyuan was gradually realizing his feelings, but at the same time, he was concerned about his disfigured appearance.
He never went out and stayed in Prince Jun's Mansion every day. People all over the capital were wondering whether his appearance was really completely ruined.
Everyone is saying that Prince Jun's face has become so ugly that he cannot even be seen in public.
"Explore further." Xiao Lanyuan said.
Qing Yi was a little worried.
"Your Majesty, are you trying to find out the specific effects of the medicinal mud?"
"Um."
"Princess Nanci has been waiting for so long to choose a husband. Could it be that she really wants to marry into Prince Juan's mansion?"
In fact, they themselves all have such a guess.
Because Princess Nanci had privately sent people to invite them twice, although both were public banquets attended by other people, Princess Nanci was so persistent in inviting Prince Jun even though she knew that Prince Jun didn't want to go out. Who could believe that she had no other ideas?
"Don't make such groundless speculations." Xiao Lanyuan said calmly.
"We have already made a deal with Princess Nanci, and the medicinal herbs from the deep sea have been put into the warehouse. If we can get the medicinal mud this time, when the princess comes back, we may be able to start treating the scar on the prince's face."
Not only Qingyi, many people are looking forward to it.
At this time, a secret guard flashed in and delivered another message.
"Your Highness, there's a letter from Dahe."
Xiao Lanyuan's originally calm expression was suddenly broken, and his tone became higher.
"A letter from the princess?"
"no."
Xiao Lanyuan's emotions were suppressed in an instant.
Fu Zhaoning had been gone for nearly three months, and she had written too few letters. Although she had explained that she was on the road, he always felt that once she left, she was like a bird flying into the vast sky, free and never to return.
Feeling flustered.
Xiao Lanyuan took the letter and took a quick look at it.
"Has the eldest princess of Dahe finished guarding the imperial mausoleum?"
This was a big deal, because the eldest princess of Dahe had a somewhat legendary origin. She was a princess born when the late emperor of Dahe was in his fifties. It was said that the late emperor was seriously ill and was about to die, but before he passed the throne to the crown prince, the crown prince also fell ill, and it seemed that Dahe was about to fall into chaos.
On the day the princess was born, the late emperor suddenly got better, opened his eyes, and was able to stand up. He immediately deposed the crown prince and passed the throne to another prince, the current Emperor Dahe.
Therefore, the Dahe royal family named the youngest princess as the eldest princess, and the current emperor doted on her.
However, the late emperor passed away a few years later. The eldest princess, who was only six years old at the time, said in a childish voice that she wanted to go to guard the imperial tomb, firstly to mourn for the late emperor, and secondly to pray for the new emperor.
There was a royal temple near the imperial tomb of Dahe, and the eldest princess lived in the temple.
This stay lasted for twelve years.
"The eldest princess is eighteen now?" Xiao Lanyuan was also a little surprised.
The outside world almost forgot about this princess, but the royal family never forgot her. The Emperor Dahe still respected and doted on her.
Emperor Dahe was even superstitious and believed that once he was old and sick and was about to die, the good fortune of the eldest princess would be able to extend his life for a few more years, just like it did for the late emperor.
This alone gives the eldest princess the supreme status in Dahe.
"Yes, I am already eighteen."
"The eldest princess is still unmarried." Qingyi was very curious about the eldest princess of Dahe. "I don't know if Emperor Dahe will let her get married."
Who dares to marry this eldest princess?
In other words, there should be a lot of people who want to marry Dahe?
"This is indeed a big deal for Da He."
Xiao Lanyuan's eyes moved, "Since it is a big deal, the Great He Emperor should make some statement, right?"
"The news from Dahe is that it is now the golden autumn season in Dahe. The emperor is planning to host a banquet for envoys from various countries during the Autumn Prayer Festival, and will also let everyone meet the eldest princess."
Autumn Prayer Festival, the Dahe Autumn Prayer Festival usually lasts for half a month.
It is a festival to celebrate the good harvest. Different places have different customs, but there will be a program similar to a rally in the capital. People and merchants from all over the country will bring various goods to the capital to sell at this time, so the capital of Dahe is particularly lively during this period.
There are all kinds of delicious food, things to use, play with, and see, all of which are strange and fresh, which makes people dazzled.
In the past two years, people from some surrounding small tribes and countries have also come to join in the fun.
"Who will Zhaoguo send this year?"
As soon as Xiao Lanyuan finished asking this question, he shook his head again, "No matter who goes, I will decide to go myself."
Qing was stunned, "The prince is going to Dahe?"
Such a long way away.
"Um."
"But the prince's face..."
"The Grand Medical Conference will probably be held after Qiu Qi, right?" Xiao Lanyuan calculated the distance in his mind.
“It should be about the same.”
"Then many people should have set out by now."
"If the prince wants to go, he has to tell the emperor, right?"
If Xiao Lanyuan wanted to leave Zhao State, he would either have to leave secretly but with an obvious itinerary to cover it up, or he would have to explain it openly to the emperor.
But if Prince Jun wants to go to Dahe, the emperor may not agree to it as he is in charge of the Dragon Shadow Guard.
Otherwise, we have to send a lot of people to follow.
"Get ready. I will enter the palace tomorrow."
Xiao Lanyuan couldn't sit still when this matter was mentioned.
As soon as he said he was going to Dahe, the emperor and the empress both looked gloomy.
The emperor suddenly thought further.
"I was wondering why Prince Jun didn't want to marry Princess Nanci. It turns out he already had a plan in mind. He was going for Princess Dahe, right?"
Compared with Princess Nanci, Princess Dahe, who is adjacent to Zhao State and has a similar national strength, is of course superior!
After all, it takes a long time to travel from Zhaoguo to Nanci by boat, and it is not convenient at all because of the sea.
But the road between Zhaoguo and Dahe is ripe.
"We must not let Prince Jun marry Princess Da He. Otherwise, if he gets Da He's support, Prince Jun will definitely turn the tables."
A counselor whispered to the emperor.
"Emperor Dahe would certainly prefer to marry into the Zhao Kingdom. In this way, the eldest princess' husband will not threaten his throne and can also help him gain support from the Zhao Kingdom." Another counselor also said.
"The emperor of Dahe may not be willing to let the princess get married. Isn't it better to treat her as a blessing?"
This was another counselor's idea.
Isn’t Emperor Dahe afraid that Princess Fuyun will take her fortune away with her once she gets married?
The emperor looked deep, "No matter what Emperor Dahe thinks, I will not allow it."
"Then how can we stop Prince Jun from going to Dahe?"
