The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 282: happy
Chapter 282: Happy
Liu Ruofu lowered her beautiful eyes, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her tone was full of the dignity that a noble lady should have: “Yes, otherwise my father and His Majesty would not agree. After all, marrying far away… my father only has me as his daughter.”
Prince Xian is over fifty years old, but he has only one daughter, Liu Ruofu. After all, she is marrying far away in Daliang. If the conditions were not attractive, Prince Xian would never agree.
After Liu Ruofu and Lu Baohua sat down, many noble ladies came to congratulate Liu Ruofu.
Liu Ruofu’s eyes swept across the luxurious pearl hairpin on a noble lady’s head, and then fell on her dress with the same embroidery as hers. She smiled and said, “Since you are wearing such a luxurious dress, it would be a bit cumbersome to wear a ruby-wrapped gold-thread tassel hairpin. It would be better to remove the hairpin so that it doesn’t steal the show.”
Liu Ruofu meant well. Over the years, people have been scrambling to imitate her dressing style, but none of them can imitate her essence and often end up imitating someone ugly.
Therefore, when she meets someone she gets along well with, Liu Ruofu will still give some advice.
The noble lady who was being instructed by Liu Ruofu to dress up was startled, and tightly grasped the jade fan in her hand. She thanked him with an awkward smile, took off the hairpin on her head, and asked with a smile: “Where did the princess meet the fourth prince of Daliang? Did you speak?”
Liu Ruofu smiled and shook her head, with a hint of pride in her words: “I don’t know either, maybe it was yesterday at Taoyin Lake outside the city. Baohua and I made an appointment to go boating in the lake yesterday.”
“They are both princesses, but they are different. After being crowned a princess, she only knows how to fight and kill! Yesterday, the Princess Zhenguo broke into the posthouse and killed a subordinate of King Yan of Xiliang. It makes me shudder just thinking about it. King Yan of Xiliang is such a polite person, I don’t know how he offended the Princess Zhenguo! She came to our Jin country to negotiate, why is she so ferocious like a female demon! If the people of Xiliang don’t know, they will think that all women in our Jin country are like this! It’s really shameful…”
Someone mentioned Bai Qingyan.
“That’s right! Relying on the fact that he was a contributor to the great victory in Southern Xinjiang, he killed innocent people indiscriminately! Where does this put the dignity of our Jin country?”
“There must be some misunderstanding!” Lu Baohua frowned, unwilling to believe that Bai Qingyan was the kind of person who killed innocent people. “I heard that the gift sent by Xiliang Yanwang was a ring from the second son of the Bai family, and he also left a letter asking the Zhenguo Princess to go alone. The Xiliang Yanwang wanted to use the second son of the Bai family to ambush and kill the Zhenguo Princess. Fortunately, the fourth daughter of the Bai family and the prince arrived in time.”
Lu Baohua was a good friend of Nandu County Princess Liu Ruofu. Those who said bad things about Bai Qingyan did not want to offend Liu Ruofu, so they smiled and changed the subject: “However, no matter what, this fourth prince of Daliang still has vision. He actually asked our Jin country’s most beautiful woman to leave!”
Liu Ruofu remembered that before she came to Dadu, someone sent her a message saying that all the playboys in Dadu said… Bai Qingyan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, was the truly worthy number one beauty, and was far superior to her, Liu Ruofu.
“I heard that Bai Qingyan… is very beautiful, and can be called the most beautiful woman in the world.” Liu Ruofu straightened her sleeves and lowered her eyes to hide the mockery in her eyes. “I don’t know how beautiful she is to be praised so highly by those playboys.”
The noble lady who had met Bai Qingyan covered her face with a round fan, her eyes evasive and wandering.
Everyone knows that what Liu Ruofu cares most about is her title of the most beautiful woman. Who would dare to tell the truth and bring bad luck to Liu Ruofu? If Liu Ruofu cries in front of His Majesty, who knows who will be in trouble.
“She is not beautiful at all! If Bai Qingyan is really the most beautiful girl in the world, why would the Fourth Prince of Daliang choose to marry you instead of her?” a noble lady laughed.
“Then…” Liu Ruofu lowered her eyes and looked at her newly painted nails, “Maybe the Fourth Prince of Daliang has never met Bai Qingyan?”
“Princess, you have to think about it… In order to marry you, the fourth prince of Daliang knelt down and begged Prince Xian to marry you. What kind of stunning appearance can make a prince of a country kneel down and beg for marriage after only seeing you once? Is there anyone in this world who can surpass you? Look over there…” A female family member covered her face with a round fan and gestured to Liu Ruofu to look at Bai Jinxiu, “That is the sister of the Zhenguo Princess. She is also very beautiful!”
Liu Ruofu couldn’t hide the pride in her eyes and eyebrows. She thought… those playboys didn’t know anything. They probably praised Bai Qingyan to the sky because they saw that he could fight and was pretty.
She looked arrogant and said calmly, “I think Bai Qingyan is also quite pretty. After all, it’s not like Lu Yuanpeng and his people haven’t seen beauties before. But… Lu Yuanpeng is still young and immature. He must be envious of others who can lead troops to fight! But we girls… should be pampered and learn more about music, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate our character. Fighting and killing will lead to more sins. In the end, it’s because we are too violent. Such a woman is powerful, but who would dare to marry her?”
The noble ladies who had met Bai Qingyan laughed dryly and gently shook the balls in their hands.
“Hey hey hey…that one! Is that the fourth prince of Daliang?”
A noble lady lowered her voice and shouted, and all the noble girls sitting in the seats in the hall covered their faces with round fans and looked towards the direction of the hall entrance.
Wei Qiheng, wearing deerskin boots, stepped into the hall, followed by the Daliang envoy. The handsome young man wore a high crown, a jade-like face, a crimson purple robe with wild pattern, and a wide white jade belt around his waist. Every part of his appearance was exquisite and elegant. It can be seen that the Fourth Prince was extremely favored by the Daliang Emperor as rumored.
Now the heir to the throne of Daliang is undecided. If the fourth prince can ascend to a high position in the future, Liu Ruofu will soar to the top and become the queen mother of a country.
Thinking of this, someone approached Liu Ruofu and said in a low voice: “Oh! The Fourth Prince of Daliang seems to be looking at the princess…”
Liu Ruofu raised her eyes and happened to see Wei Qiheng looking in her direction.
Prince Xian and the Emperor had already agreed to the marriage between the Fourth Prince of Daliang and her, and now everyone in the court knew about it. She did not act pretentiously, but stood up and bowed in the direction of Wei Qiheng.
Wei Qiheng was a gentle and elegant man. When he saw the noble lady from Jin saluting him, he returned the salute with a smile.
When Liu Ruofu saw Wei Qiheng’s handsome appearance, she couldn’t help but feel happy and her smile became even brighter.
Wei Qiheng was a man who loved beauty. He was naturally pleased to see a beautiful woman showing her affection to him. He nodded to Liu Ruofu before sitting back in his seat and greeting Xiliang Yan Wang Li Zhijie with a smile.
“Then Xiliang Yan Wang is also a rare handsome man…” Lu Baohua smiled and covered her lips with a round fan, “I thought that according to the posture of the fourth prince of Daliang asking for marriage to the princess, he would rush over to talk to the princess as soon as he saw her!”
“How can you do this at a state banquet?” Liu Ruofu said to Lu Baohua angrily.
