The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 283: The most beautiful in the world
Chapter 283 The Most Beautiful Woman in the World
The noble ladies around laughed even more happily: “Oh! Princess Sister hasn’t even married yet, and she’s already protecting him!”
Liu Ruofu’s ears were burning with anger, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said coquettishly, “If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will ignore you!”
“Oh! Oh! Stop talking! Be careful. If the Fourth Prince of Daliang hears us, he might think we are bullying the princess and might blame us…” Lu Baohua smiled with her hands covering her lips.
Although she was teased, Liu Ruofu was happy in her heart.
Especially when she heard that the Fourth Prince of Daliang knelt down and asked her to marry him yesterday, and vowed not to take concubines from now on, Liu Ruofu was really moved.
Today, I saw that the fourth prince of Daliang was so handsome, and I felt that it was just as my father said… This is indeed a good marriage.
“The Princess of the State is here…”
“The Princess of Zhenguo is here too!”
Bai Qingyan and her fourth sister Bai Jinzhi followed Dong. Zhen Zeping, who was chatting with his colleagues, saw Bai Qingyan and quickly called his wife and daughter to greet him: “Madam, the Princess Zhenguo and the Princess Gaoyi!”
Dong smiled and bowed in return. Zhen Zeping’s wife looked at Bai Qingyan with admiration in her eyes, took her daughter’s wrist, and pulled her daughter in front of Bai Qingyan to greet him.
Hearing the female relatives whispering, Liu Ruofu turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to see a group of generals and their families gathered at the entrance to greet Bai Qingyan, blocking Liu Ruofu’s sight and preventing her from seeing Bai Qingyan’s appearance.
I heard the eunuchs singing loudly, “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess have arrived.”
The generals and their families who had been greeting Dong, Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi then hurriedly retreated to both sides and saluted the prince who had entered.
Last night, the prince sent someone to deliver a letter to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion to inform Bai Qingyan… Li Zhijie indeed only had the ring in his hand. His original intention was just to sow discord between the ruler and his ministers of Jin State, but he did not expect that Bai Qingyan was so loyal that he told the prince himself about this matter, which ruined Li Zhijie’s plan.
The prince sent someone to tell her to mourn her loss, and not only that, he also gave her a generous gift.
She raised her eyes and saw Xiao Rongyan following the prince. Thinking of Xiao Rongyan’s ambiguous words in the painting boat yesterday, she lowered her eyes and avoided Xiao Rongyan’s gaze.
Xiao Rongyan smiled slightly and bowed to Dong Baiqingyan in a very respectful manner.
The Crown Princess looked at Bai Qingyan, and her eyes fell on Xiao Rongyan beside the Crown Prince. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled, “Madam, the Princess Zhenguo, and the Princess Gaoyi, please take a seat quickly. Father and Mother will be here soon.”
“Yes!” Dong nodded and followed the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, taking Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi to the front seats.
The female relatives who had never seen Xiao Rongyan before whispered to each other and speculated about his identity.
Xiao Rongyan was wearing a white straight robe and a jade belt around his waist. It was an extremely simple outfit, but it could not conceal his gorgeous and noble demeanor. He was extremely handsome, with high brow bones, which made his eyes look broad and deep, and his pupils were quiet. However, he had a smile on his lips and had the elegant demeanor of a scholar, which was amazing.
Liu Ruofu’s attention was attracted by the man next to the prince. Before she could come to her senses, Wei Qiheng, the fourth prince of Daliang who had already sat down, suddenly stood up and knocked the lid of the three-legged auspicious beast incense burner on the table against his head.
Wei Qiheng steadied the table, blushing as he hurriedly stood up and ran towards Bai Qingyan, blocking Bai Qingyan’s way and bowing: “Princess…”
Liu Ruofu followed Wei Qiheng’s gaze and landed on Bai Qingyan. She was startled… Her breathing stagnated and she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
She thought Bai Qingyan was just a pretty girl, but she didn’t expect… she was such an extremely beautiful woman. Her skin was so delicate and almost transparent under the palace lanterns. She didn’t look like someone who had been fighting in southern Xinjiang for more than a month. Her skeleton was tall and graceful, and her frail posture didn’t look like a martial artist at all. Only her deep and calm black eyes like a deep pool made people feel that she had the toughness, strength and composure of a martial artist.
It is both delicate and powerful, and its beauty is noble and heavy.
Liu Ruofu’s breathing was a little heavy. She could hear the unclear whispers of the other women in her ears. She vaguely heard that others were praising Bai Qingyan for being more beautiful than her, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.
“This princess who guards the country actually has such a stunning appearance. We didn’t know it before. Those playboys really weren’t lying. She is really… the most beautiful woman in the world!”
“The most beautiful girl in Jin sitting over there… Just now he hinted that Lv Yuanpeng admired the princess because she could lead troops in battle, so he thought she was beautiful. Now that he saw the princess herself, why didn’t he say anything?”
“That’s right! Relying on her title of the most beautiful woman, she always looks down upon others and tells them how to dress. Look at the Princess Zhenguo… She wears plain clothes and no makeup. That’s the real beauty that can topple a country!”
Some of the more daring ladies looked at her with mocking eyes, and Liu Ruofu’s ears burned…
“Ignore those people!” Lu Baohua glared at the gossipers. “No matter what, your marriage is something that others can never envy! Men… naturally admire the invincible generals who fought on the battlefield. This shows that the Fourth Prince of Daliang does not look down on women, which is a good thing!”
Hearing what Lu Baohua said, Liu Ruofu felt better. She raised the corners of her lips and laughed angrily, “Yes, most men admire generals who are good at fighting, but the army is full of men. I’m afraid that few men have the courage to marry a woman who has been with the army, right? Oh… except for Qin Lang!”
Lu Baohua didn’t quite agree with Liu Ruofu’s last sentence, but he also knew that Liu Ruofu was unhappy, so he smiled and said nothing.
“In my opinion, this princess who guards the country is probably not someone who won the battle. With that kind of appearance, if she stands on the battlefield… which man would be willing to hurt her? One look from her would probably make his legs go weak! As the princess said, the army is full of men… who knows what will happen. If you really marry a woman who hangs out in the barracks, I’m afraid it will bring disaster to the family.”
The noble lady who was on good terms with Liu Ruofu chuckled and continued, “Look, the Qin family didn’t believe in evil and married Bai Jinxiu, but now the Qin family is so unlucky. First, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was sent to Qing’an, and then the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery died, and the Qin family even lost their title!”
Liu Ruofu covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled, feeling much better: “That does make sense.”
Bai Qingyan looked at Wei Qiheng with burning eyes in bewilderment, bowed to Wei Qiheng with a normal expression, and walked slowly behind Dong to the seat.
This was the first time that Wei Qiheng was ignored by a beautiful woman. His shining eyes followed Bai Qingyan’s back…
