The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

The people of Dongwei all knew that today was the day when the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of their Dongwei Kingdom would go to the country to marry the King of Chu, so they poured into the streets. The government had no choice but to dispatch soldiers to maintain order and protect the marriage team from leaving.

The fifth prince of Hechu has been a hostage in Dongwei for decades. Everyone only knows that this hostage has an unusual identity and is the son of the emperor and queen of another country. They can't help but be curious about the concubine chosen by this noble prince.

"This Xie Ping proton's departure was such a big deal!"

"Tsk tsk, that's right. This guy is the only son of His Majesty and the Queen. He might even be in He Chu's position in the future. Do you think this is a big deal?"

"No wonder. I heard that the soldiers in the marriage team all looked extraordinary. They were so tall and strong. Tsk tsk..."

"Of course. Look at the two blue-clothed men leading the group. I heard they are Mu Bai, a famous general in Chu. It is said that they have been fighting since they were fifteen and have never lost a battle."

"This is really amazing! It seems that the Emperor of Chu has not given up on His Highness Xie Ping."

"I'm really curious about the concubine that His Highness has chosen. I wonder how beautiful she is that His Highness would not forget to bring her back home."

"Yes, yes." Someone echoed.

He stared with curiosity at the carriage team coming from afar, and stared closely at the exquisite carriage leading the way, which must have been carrying the bride.

Not far away, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, as if the horse knew that the people were curious. Qingyin, who was sitting next to the window, also felt that the car was a bit stuffy, so she opened a corner of the window.

There was a gentle breeze. Inside the carriage, there were golden roofs and red walls, and the four corners were decorated with delicate red pearl flowers. As the curtains were opened, the delicate pearl flowers fluttered gently in the wind, full of the highest level of art. However, all the stunning beauty could not block the beauty in the red dress inside the carriage.

A beautiful woman in red sat quietly in the carriage, as if she was an untouchable and illusory dream sent by God. It was a face that no one in the world dared to imagine. But in the carriage, the girl seemed to know the astonishment in people's hearts. She raised her head slightly and smiled with curved eyebrows.

The people in the area suddenly became quiet, and time seemed to have stopped at that moment. The soldiers protecting the carriage could not see the scenery inside the carriage due to their perspective. They could only watch as the people around them suddenly became quiet as if they were dumbfounded, not knowing why.

"What happened? Why are they suddenly silent?" the soldier standing in the front row asked curiously. The people surrounding the carriage seemed to come to their senses and ran frantically in the direction the carriage was heading.

"Ah! Ah! Goddess, don't go! This is our Dongwei goddess!" A brave young man shouted loudly.

The origin history of Dongwei Kingdom is said to be a barren land. It hadn't rained for several days and the land was dry and could not grow any food. At that time, the people in Dongwei were living in misery. Until one day, a goddess came down to the earth and saved Dongwei. She cast a spell and made several heavy rains to save Dongwei. Therefore, the people were grateful to the goddess and voluntarily built a temple for her.

However, as time passed, there were very few temples dedicated to the goddess, and only one stubborn old man would tell children this mythological story.

However, looking at the girl in the carriage in the distance, everyone seemed to be fascinated. Such a beautiful and sacred girl must be a goddess. Everyone squeezed forward in amazement and obsession. The people in the front shouted and squeezed, and the people behind were confused, but after looking in the direction of the people in front.

After a while, more foolish people came to cheer for the goddess.

As a result, the pressure on the soldiers who were protecting the marriage team continued to increase. Fortunately, Wu Yong, a member of the team led by General Dongwei, had already known the influence of the girl's appearance. He persuaded the soldiers escorting the marriage team to increase the number of people in the protection team, and finally managed to suppress the crazy people.

"Ahhh, Goddess, please don't leave us Dongwei."

"Ah! Goddess, please don't leave."

"Damn it! He Chu stole our goddess away. We want to take her back!"

……

The noise in front was transmitted to the back. At the end of the carriage team, the faces of several people who seemed to be chatting happily changed slightly. Xie Ping looked ahead and his face changed slightly, but when he saw that the team in front was still blocked by Dongwei soldiers and the Chu soldiers were not used, he felt relieved again. The prince, who was representing his father to send off the marriage team, looked at Xie Ping, whose face had calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the prince frowned slightly at the commotion ahead and asked what was going on:

"What happened? Why are the people in front so crazy?"

The prince's subordinates ran away for a while and immediately ran back.

Several people looked at this ordinary-looking guard.

The guards, who had never been treated with such importance before, felt as if their backs were being sharpened and were sweating coldly.

The prince helplessly glanced at the few people around him who were watching openly, and finally nodded slightly to his subordinates in indulgence.

The subordinate reported: "Your Highness, when Royal Concubine Lin lifted the window curtains just now, the people of Dongwei were very excited. They all thought Royal Concubine Lin was a goddess, so they all gathered around her and were unwilling to leave."

Upon hearing that nothing happened to the escort team for the marriage, the prince's brows relaxed. As for the Imperial Concubine Lin, the daughter of Minister Lin, the prince couldn't help but feel a little curious. Especially, the prince did not miss the moment when his guard reported that the nervous men around him were not just Prince Xie Ping.

The prince became even more curious about Miss Lin.

From the corner of his eye, the prince looked at the obvious nervousness on the face of the deputy general Wu Yong who appeared beside General Wu Liang, and a hint of amusement appeared in his narrow eyes.

"Oh, I see. We need to increase the number of personnel to protect the marriage team. Nothing can happen to them."

However, the emperor gave him the task of escorting the marriage team, which showed his trust in him. If the marriage team made a mistake with him, not to mention Xie Ping, even his brothers who were more cunning would have to give him a pot of wine when they return.

"Yes, Your Highness." The subordinate replied respectfully.

After waiting for his subordinates to leave, the prince looked at the hostage Xie Ping in front of him, who was dressed in red and full of joy for the wedding, and said, "This time, I haven't congratulated His Highness Xie Ping on his happy marriage yet?"

Xie Ping looked at the prince opposite him and said calmly, "Your Highness, it's not too late to say it now."

The prince was choked and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I forgot that this hostage Xie Ping is a lunatic and does not have the elegant temperament of a prince at all.

"Haha, but the people praise Miss Lin so much, it seems that Miss Lin is really a beauty. I wonder if our General Wu Yong has seen her." The prince smiled and turned to another one.

Wu Yong's face stiffened slightly, and he looked at the prince with cold eyes, which showed a hint of disdain for Qing Yin, and his eyes were full of anger.

The hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, veins bulging. How could he dare? Qingqing was so beautiful, but the prince treated her like a toy and said that in front of Xie Ping.

Wu Yong's face turned pale, and Wu Liang secretly held his brother's hand and warned him not to cause trouble.

Wu Liang looked at the prince who was about to cause trouble and said with a smile, "Princess Lin is elegant and graceful. I once admired her. She was shy and asked me to ask for an audience on her behalf. Princess Lin and His Highness Xie Ping are indeed elegant, handsome and virtuous. They are a perfect match."

"Really?" The prince concealed his smile. Wu Liang was really born with a good mouth. He looked at Xie Ping's warning gaze.

I felt a little dissatisfied, but I endured it.

However, my curiosity about Qingyin is growing.

I'm really curious about what kind of woman Xie Ping likes. Even Wu Yong is interested in her.

Under the joint escort of soldiers from both sides, the marriage team finally arrived at the gate of the capital.

The prince rode a horse, standing in front of the team, and smiled slightly at Xie Ping who was riding a horse in front of him.

"This is the last time that we see Xie Ping and Princess Lin. I haven't asked Princess Lin to express my father's blessing to her yet. I hope Your Highness Xie Ping will be flexible." He said loudly.

Seeing the prince who was determined to see Qingyin, Xie Ping's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

But the prince did not give in under such gaze, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Mu Bai and Jiang Qing, who were standing nearby, watched quietly, fearing that their Fifth Prince would start a fight with the Prince of Dongwei at the end. At this time, the window screen of the carriage in front was lifted up.

"Then please speak, Your Highness."

A sweet female voice as gentle as water sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Several people subconsciously looked over when they heard the sound, and their eyes widened instantly.

The woman in the car was wearing a red wedding gown from Dongwei, with her hair full of red pearl flowers matched with a gold hairpin made of precious jade, and a peach blossom hairpin imprinted on her forehead. She looked like a peach blossom fairy who had walked out of a painting. She should be a peach blossom goddess who was getting married. There was no other gold hairpin and red flower suitable for such a girl. Her clear eyes like misty gauze, stained with stars, stared quietly at everyone. She was beautiful, quiet and flawless.

If there really is a goddess in the world, it must be the girl in front of me.

How could anyone hate her when she has such an extremely beautiful face?

Jiang Qing pinched the arm of his good brother and boss Mu Bai hard, and stammered, "Mu, Mu Mu Bai, is that the imperial concubine our prince married? He married a fairy, right?"

The moment he was pinched by his friend, he almost cried out in pain, but General Mu Bai managed to hold it back without refuting his friend.

No wonder her brother fell in love with her.

Wu Liang looked at the bride who was just sitting in the distance, and whom no one could take their eyes off. His heart trembled slightly. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her face again.

The prince was not so self-aware, "Ms. Lin, do you not want to marry Xie Ping? I can..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please respect yourself!" Xie Pingfeng's eyes were filled with coldness as he stared closely at the Crown Prince in front of him.

The prince took a few breaths, glanced at the stunning beauty in the distance, suppressed the greed and jealousy towards Xie Ping in his eyes, and forced a few smiles at him.

"Haha, I was dizzy just now."

"Since Your Highness the Crown Prince has nothing else to say, I will take my imperial concubine away." Xie Ping walked to Qingyin's carriage and lowered the window screen for Qingyin. He spoke word by word, emphasizing his imperial concubine.

The stunned people trembled, lowered their heads guiltily and said nothing.

After this incident, everything went much more smoothly afterwards. Except for the prince and some people who stayed behind, Wu Liang led some people to escort the marriage team away.

On the city wall, the prince looked at the troops gradually disappearing in the distance. The ambition in his eyes made the subordinates beside him, who saw Princess Lin, lower their heads in fear.
