The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1234 Mr. Shi Asks for Medicine

Princess Zhuoyang is the emperor's beloved daughter. The emperor of Dalang Kingdom originally did not want her to marry far away. However, the Southern Yan Kingdom specifically requested Princess Zhuoyang to marry. Even if other princesses were of the same age, the Southern Yan Kingdom would not consider them. In order to reduce losses, the emperor of Dalang Kingdom had to agree.

But Princess Zhuoyang's heart was filled with Wan Lianxing. Even if she couldn't marry Wan Lianxing, she didn't want to marry anyone else, and she couldn't accept a marriage alliance. If she agreed to the marriage alliance, she would never have the chance to see Wan Lianxing again in the future or even for the rest of her life.

But no matter how she threw a tantrum or cried, it was useless. Because this marriage had an important mission. If the two countries wanted to maintain a long-term truce and become allies, they had to fulfill the agreement made during the truce. At that time, Princess Zhuoyang was the designated candidate for the marriage. Now that someone from the Southern Yan Kingdom had come, Princess Zhuoyang had to meet him or not.

Ling'er accompanied Princess Zhuoyang in crying and comforted her, "Princess, you should get dressed. Everyone is waiting for you. If you are late, the emperor will definitely blame you."

"Ling'er, why is my fate so miserable? I can't get Wan Lianxing even though I want him. Can't I just stay in the palace as an old maid? Why do you want me to marry far away? If I go to marry a foreign prince, I will never have the chance to see Wan Lianxing again. This is more painful than letting me die."

"Princess, Chaizhou will soon belong to Wan Lianxing. Why are you still thinking about him? Princess, don't mention Wan Lianxing, the traitor, in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor will lock you up."

Princess Zhuoyang took Ling'er's hand and said, "Ling'er, I don't want to go to Nanfang Yan Kingdom. I don't want to marry the emperor of Nanfang Yangguo. If I go there, I will just be a concubine. And you know my temper. I will definitely not survive more than three days if I go there."

Ling'er said: "Princess, you are going there as a marriage partner, and you are the Princess Zhuoyang of the Great Lang Kingdom. You are of noble status, and no one dares to do anything to you. Besides..."

"Besides, what..."

"Besides, this time we are only here to get your portrait. If the king of the Southern Yan Kingdom doesn't like you, he will replace you with another princess."

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhuoyang held Ling'er's hand even tighter, "Ling'er, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of it?"

"Princess, what are you doing? Please don't do anything rash!"

"Ling'er, go get me some pot ash."

"Princess, what are you going to do?"

"Go now and don't ask any more questions."

After a while, Ling'er came back with a handkerchief wrapped in some pot ash. "Miss, what are you going to do with this pot ash?"

Princess Zhuoyang said, "Bring the powder here."

Ling'er understood it all at once. The two people mixed the soot and powder together. When Princess Zhuoyang applied the powder on her face, the originally fair and clean Princess Zhuoyang immediately became several shades darker. When she was dressed up and appeared in front of everyone, her father was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood. However, facing the envoy from the Southern Yan Kingdom, her father could not expose her.

However, if she messed up the marriage, her father would definitely not let her off easily, because their Dalang Kingdom was in a mess and its national strength was not as good as before. Now there was another Ling Yuan in the north who was causing trouble and trying to start a war. And Wan Lianxing was still strong and eager to occupy their Dalang Kingdom's territory. At this time, Dalang Kingdom could only rely on the Southern Yan Kingdom, join forces with them, and use the power of the Southern Yan Kingdom to contain Fengqi.

Several countries are competing with each other, and everyone has their own calculations. No one will do business that loses money, so for the sake of long-term stability, it is most cost-effective to send Princess Zhuoyang to marry.

At this time, Sha Guanghan was in full swing. He fought all the way and attacked the first seven cities in Chaizhou. The news of victory was delivered to Wan Lianxing one after another, and Wan Lianxing was full of praise for Sha Guanghan.

On the same day, a guest came to the camp. He was an honored guest. Wan Lianxing personally met him, accompanied by Cheng Feng, Shang Xi, Zhong Siyu and others. The reception was grand. Wan Lianxing called this person a benefactor. This person was Mr. Shi, the historian in the first seven cities of Chaizhou.

Wan Lianxing asked Master Shi: "Why did you come here to see me, my benefactor? Did you encounter any difficult problems?"

Mr. Shi said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you were giving away herbs for curing plague, so I brought my daughter here to ask for two bowls."

Wan Lianxing asked, "You brought your daughter with you? Where is she?"

Mr. Shi said, "Your Majesty, my daughter has contracted the plague and cannot come to see Your Majesty. I have asked her to wait in the carriage."

Wan Lianxing said: "Please invite the people in. I have been infected with the plague, but I am now well."

"Your Majesty, that's not appropriate!"

"It's okay. I just want to see your daughter."

Soon, Mr. Shi's daughter was invited in. This woman looked a bit like his brother Shi Hongshang and had a very decent appearance. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wan Lianxing respectfully, "I am Shi Hongjiao, the commoner, and I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

"Get up and let me see."

At this time, Sui Dan, who was sitting on the side, said, "Red corner? Hey, Miss Shi, you are not an opera singer, are you?"

Wan Lianxing pretended to be angry and said, "It's unruly. How can Miss Shi sing opera?"

"Your Majesty, I can sing opera."

When Shi Hongjiao said this, everyone in the room was shocked. Even Wan Lianxing didn't know how to respond. This was the Shi family, a wealthy family in Chaizhou, just like the Wan family in Beicheng in the past. It was reasonable to invite a troupe to listen to opera at home to relieve boredom, but it was unheard of for the eldest daughter of the family to sing opera. Because the market divided people of different classes into different levels, there were upper nine classes, middle nine classes, and lower nine classes, and this actor was listed as the lower nine classes, so the daughters of wealthy families were not allowed to sing opera.

Mr. Shi felt embarrassed, so he coughed twice to try to stop his daughter from making trouble, "Hongjiao, don't be rude, when will you learn to sing opera!"

Shi Hongjiao said: "Dad, my daughter is not rude, she can sing opera!"

Sui Dan sat up straight and said excitedly: "Then sing a song for us!"

"Okay! How about I sing 'The Injustice of Dou E' for everyone!" Shi Hongjiao just twisted her fingers and started singing in a humming voice. Even her father, Mr. Shi, couldn't stop her.

At this time, Yuhua, who was still suffering from the plague, stood behind Shang Xi. When she heard this play, she burst into tears. Zhong Siyu and her maid were also wiping their tears.

Wan Lianxing sat there in a daze, his expression changing unpredictably, and no one knew what he was thinking.
