Chapter 340 Marrying the Princess
I saw the words "Mangfeng Mountain" clearly written on the map, and the specific location where the things were hidden was marked.
The next day, the prince went to the palace to ask for leave from the emperor, and then went to say goodbye to Qianhuan.
"Huan'er, after I took the map back and soaked it in potion, the pattern on it has completely appeared. If nothing unexpected happens, the thing should be hidden in Mangfeng Mountain in your Yunfeng Village. I plan to take people there personally."
"They actually found a good place to hide things in Mangfeng Mountain. This mountain is not only steep and densely covered with vegetation, but also has many wild animals. No one in our village dares to go up the mountain. The things hidden there are really secretive."
After saying this, Qianhuan looked at the prince with concern and asked, "Zi Yu, there are many wild animals on Mangfeng Mountain, especially poisonous snakes. Do you have some snake repellent poison prepared?"
"I don't know much about Mangfeng Mountain, so I didn't prepare these things. Huan'er, thank goodness you told me this. I'll go to Bai's house now and ask Bai Lingxuan to prepare some more poisons to drive away wild beasts and venomous snakes."
"Well, Ziyu, you should be careful when you go out to do things, and make sure you come back safely."
"Don't worry, I will protect myself. As for you, you need to be more careful in the capital. I will leave some secret guards in the capital to protect you."
Qianhuan smiled indifferently and said, "The capital is under the feet of the emperor. I don't think anyone would dare to harm me. Ziyu, aren't you being too cautious? You should take all the secret guards with you. You don't have to leave them to me."
"Huan'er, you are the biggest weakness of me and the Qian family. The capital seems to be calm, but in fact, there are turbulent waves in secret. All the princes want to fight for that position. General Qian and I are both military commanders with heavy troops. I am worried that those people will target you and use this to threaten me and the Qian family, so I must leave some of the secret guards for you."
Qianhuan suddenly understood what was going on. She nodded, "Okay, Ziyu, I'll follow your arrangements."
After the prince left, Qianhuan was busy with her business wholeheartedly. Occasionally, she would go to the Qian Mansion to accompany Old Madam Qian and Madam Qian.
General Qian and Madam Qian finally found their daughter, and they were extremely kind to Qianhuan. The couple would often send people to deliver the latest headwear, clothes and jewelry to Jingyuan. Madam Qian would often make various cakes herself and bring them to Qianhuan to taste.
Qian Bolin has become a fanatic who shows off his sister. He often brags in front of others that he has a talented and beautiful sister.
In the past, Qianhuan asked the waiter to bring him milk tea, but he refused to avoid suspicion. Now he holds a cup of milk tea every day and wanders around in front of his friends. "This milk tea is really delicious. It tastes sweet but not greasy. It feels like a spring breeze. This is the latest flavor developed by my sister. It's not available on the market yet."
The friends said sourly, "Even though you have a sister, you can't forget your friends. You have the latest flavor of milk tea, but you didn't bring a few cups for us to try."
Qian Bolin showed off his special status in Qianhuan's heart while helping his sister to attract business.
"It's not that I don't want to bring it to everyone, but my sister only specially prepared a few cups for the family. Don't worry, the store will be able to sell new flavors soon. Then you can go to my sister's store to buy them yourself. Anyway, you don't need that little money."
Qianhuan probably never dreamed that the usually serious Commander Qian could have such a childish and cute side.
Ever since Qianhuan found out that she was not Liang Laoer's biological daughter, she went to ask Doctor Bai to treat her parents.
After examining Liang Laoer and his wife, Doctor Bai discovered that the problem was not with Liu, but with Liang Laoer.
After asking, I found out that Liang Laoer had accidentally injured his private parts when he went up the mountain before. Fortunately, Bai Lingxuan was an excellent doctor and Liang Laoer's illness could be cured.
When Liang Lao Er learned that he could be cured, he burst into tears of joy, "Godly doctor, can you really cure my illness? Can I still have my own children in this life?"
Doctor Bai answered confidently, "Of course, as long as you follow my prescription and take the medicine every day, I guarantee that you will be cured within half a year."
Liang Lao Er knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, "Thank you so much, Divine Doctor Bai."
Doctor Bai quickly pulled the man up and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. Qianhuan is also my friend. I am very happy to be able to help you."
Although Liang Laoer and Liu had always raised Qianhuan and Wenjie as their own children, they felt a little regretful because they did not have their own children.
Liu, in particular, has always been feeling resentful for not being able to give birth to a child for Liang Laoer. Although she now knows that the problem is not with her, she still just wants to help Liang Laoer get back in shape as soon as possible, and then get pregnant with a child of their own as soon as possible.
Liu asked the servants to boil medicine for Liang Laoer every day, and urged him to take the medicine on time without missing a meal, hoping that Liang Laoer would get better soon.
As for the imperial palace, it was heard that His Majesty had given the Seventh Princess Teng Shiyue to Qi Beiming as a princess for marriage. Originally, it was the Ninth Princess who should have gone to marry, but the Queen was reluctant to let her daughter marry far away, so in the end she chose Teng Shiyue, the Seventh Princess who had no background at all.
As compensation, the emperor rewarded the Seventh Princess with a lot of dowry. Qi Beiming did not have much objection to the emperor's decision. After all, he came to Dayuan this time, ostensibly for a marriage, but actually for other purposes.
Although he also wanted Qianhuan, ever since he knew that Qianhuan was the legitimate daughter of the Qian family, he had expected that the emperor would definitely not give Qianhuan to him, so he had been prepared for this outcome.
When the seventh princess learned that she was going to marry a foreign prince, she secretly sneaked out of the palace to look for Bai Lingxuan.
The Seventh Princess suppressed her sadness and tried to force out a smile, then said to Bai Lingxuan, "Brother Bai, my father is going to send me to the Canglang Kingdom to marry. After I leave, no one will bother you anymore. You should be very happy, right?"
Bai Lingxuan didn't expect that the emperor would actually let the seventh princess marry. Although he really didn't want to be a prince consort, he actually didn't hate Teng Shiyue at all.
Bai Lingxuan looked at the Seventh Princess's smile, which was uglier than crying. He said with some heartache, "Princess, if you are unhappy, just cry. Don't force yourself."
The Seventh Princess pretended to be strong and said, "There's nothing to cry about. I'm the Seventh Princess of Dayuan, and I should have expected this day to come. Although I'm a princess, my biological mother was of low status and died early, so it's only natural that I'd become a pawn in a marriage alliance."
Bai Lingxuan didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, and could only listen to her continue talking silently.
"Brother Bai, do you know? I have liked you for a long time. My mother died young, and other princesses and princes liked to bully me when I was a child. One time, you and your cousin the Crown Prince came to the palace to play, and you saw me being bullied by others. You immediately stood up and drove those people away for me. From then on, I fell in love with you. My greatest wish in this life is to marry you."
The Seventh Princess continued, "Unfortunately, I was too sentimental. Brother Bai, you don't like me at all, and you seem to hate me. Every time I pester you, you try to avoid me. I didn't expect that before I left, you would listen to me and comfort me. I am already very satisfied."
After saying that, the Seventh Princess turned around, and left two lines of tears where Bai Lingxuan couldn't see, "Brother Bai, I'm leaving now. I wish you happiness!"
Bai Lingxuan looked at her receding figure and wanted to catch up with her and say, "Shiyue, actually, I don't hate you at all."
However, in the end, he didn't move and just watched her leave.
Qi Beiming did not stay in Dayuan for too long. The emperor sent several generals with soldiers to escort the princess out of the country. The journey was very smooth. The bandits knew that it was a marriage team, and no one dared to step forward to cause trouble.
Every time she passed through the city gate, because it was the princess's wedding, no one dared to open the boxes to check the princess's accompanying belongings. Qi Beiming anticipated this and dared to mix the weapons in the dowry and send them back to the country.
By the time they reached the border, Dayuan's generals and soldiers had already completed the task of escorting the princess. Qi Beiming then continued on his journey to the imperial city of Canglang Kingdom with the princess and her dowry.
