Long Road to Stardom

“Da. Da.. Da…”

A carriage was moving slowly along a road.

Suddenly, a servant ran to the carriage, panting, and said, "Miss, there is a girl lying on the roadside ahead. Do you want to save her?"

Wang Qingyan looked at the sky which had already darkened and ordered, "Save her, put the girl in my carriage."

"Luchu, Hongyu, the two of you should come with us."

Wang Qingyan then gave instructions to the two maids standing by.

"Yes, Miss."

After saying that, the servant brought two maids to where the girl was.

When they turned over and saw the girl's face clearly, they all gasped in unison.

"How can there be such a good-looking person?"

Their eldest daughter is the most beautiful woman in the capital. This girl must be at least three times more beautiful than the eldest daughter, or even more.

They suppressed their shock and worked together to place the people in the eldest lady's carriage.

When Wang Qingyan saw this face, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Suddenly she thought of something and laughed again, and told the maid beside her, "Take him back and ask a doctor to take a look."

"Take good care of him and keep him under guard."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Dad, my daughter is back."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

"Dad is sorry for you. I dare not disobey the imperial decree, so I can only let you marry the King of Chu."

An old man in his fifties, wearing casual clothes and with slightly gray hair, said with a sad face.

"Dad, I don't blame you."

"My daughter has something to tell you." After Wang Qingyan finished speaking, she glanced at the servant beside her.

Prime Minister Wang immediately understood what his daughter meant and dismissed all the servants. He then asked, "Yan'er, there is no one around now. What do you want to say?"

Wang Qingyan immediately knelt down and said, "Dad, I don't want to marry that useless man, the King of Chu."

"Yan'er, didn't you just promise Dad? Why are you suddenly going back on your word?"

"Dad, please listen to me first."

Soon, Wang Qingyan revealed her entire plan.

After listening to this, Prime Minister Wang became thoughtful.

However, he had to go and see what the girl his daughter picked up looked like.

Otherwise, if the secret is exposed at the wedding, you will be beheaded.

"Dad, you agreed."

Wang Qingyan said with some surprise.

"You are my only daughter, so I don't want you to marry a useless man and become a widow."

Wang Qingyan was delighted and quickly stood up and supported Prime Minister Wang, and together they went to the room where the girl lived.

After entering the wing room, Prime Minister Wang was shocked when he saw the girl's appearance. She was indeed prettier than his daughter.

The next day, the whole capital knew that Prime Minister Wang had a little daughter, who had just been brought back from the farm the day before and was even more beautiful than her elder sister.

Prime Minister Wang took advantage of the fact that the Emperor did not specify which daughter would marry the King of Chu, but only said that only the most beautiful woman in the capital would be worthy of his favorite son, Chu Lingfeng.

If the King of Chu had not become a cripple, he would naturally be happy with this marriage. But now that he has become a cripple who cannot walk and has no chance of becoming emperor, how could he be happy to marry his daughter to him?

The emperor was furious when he heard the news, but he did not explain it clearly, so he could only accept it, although he felt a little guilty towards Feng'er.

He could only compensate in other ways, and all kinds of things were delivered to the Prince of Chu's Palace like an assembly line.

In the palace of the King of Chu.

"Your Majesty, this old man, Prime Minister Wang, is clearly deliberately looking for someone to marry into the palace in his daughter's place."

"Should we go and teach him a lesson? Otherwise, he will think that our palace is easy to bully."

A guard said with gritted teeth to the back of a person sitting in a wheelchair.

"No need. He did this because his daughter naturally didn't want to. Since she doesn't want to, why should we force her?"

"As for the woman who will marry in a few days, if she doesn't want to stay in the palace, give her some money and let her go."

The man in the wheelchair spoke calmly, as if he didn't care about the matter.

After hearing this, the guards were reluctant but had no choice but to obey the order.

The wedding day soon arrived, and the palace was decorated with lights and was very lively.

Due to the prince's poor health, there was no wedding ceremony. The bride was carried directly into the bridal chamber by two maids arranged by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one could tell that the bride was in a coma.

Naturally, no one dared to make trouble in the bridal chamber at the prince's wedding.

The bride actually had many things tied to her body to support her, so there was no apparent problem with her wedding dress once she put it on.

After placing the bride in a sitting position on the bed, the maid who came with her as a dowry left the palace as soon as the banquet outside had just begun.

At night.

The guards pushed the King of Chu into the bridal chamber.

"Qingye, please go out first!"

The guard glanced at the woman sitting on the bed, then glanced at the prince, then turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.

After the guards left, the King of Chu spoke, "Miss, I know you didn't marry here voluntarily. If you don't want to stay in the palace, I can give you some money and change your identity to leave here."

After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but saw that the person on the bed did not move at all.

He immediately realized something was wrong and lifted her veil.

I saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, motionless.

He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, checked the woman's breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingye, come in."

Soon, the guards standing outside pushed the door open and entered.

The King of Chu immediately ordered, "Go and get a doctor, and call the two maids from the mansion over."

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

The guard asked in confusion. He saw the bride's condition from the corner of his eye and immediately shouted, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Wang not only refused to marry his own daughter, but he actually sent an unconscious person here."

"Your Majesty, I will go and teach that old man a lesson right now."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk out of the room.

"Qingye, let's talk about this later. Just do what I said just now."

Qingye received the order and left in a hurry.

The King of Chu sat in a wheelchair, staring at the woman on the bed, as if thinking about something.

Soon, the doctor and the maid arrived.

After a careful examination, the doctor said, "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with the princess' body. As for why she is unconscious, I am sorry that I am incompetent and cannot find the reason."

"Okay, I know, you can back off first!"

After the doctor left, the King of Chu also left the room.

The two maids began to get busy, changing the princess's clothes and wiping her face.

When they changed their clothes, they naturally discovered the various things the princess was wearing to support her body.

When the King of Chu saw what the old woman took out, his face instantly turned cold.

Those who can stay in the palace are because the prince trusts you, so they naturally know that the prince is angry.

I think life in the Prime Minister’s Mansion will be difficult in the future.
