Chapter 566 Qiulan: The princess is so pitiful

at the same time.

Outside Yingzhou City, ten miles away.

A large group of people were galloping on the official road, their iron hooves stepping on them, kicking up dust all over the sky.

"Hahaha, that Tang Su is really unlucky. His horseshoe fell off halfway... This time I'll be the first to get the chance to see the Marquis of Fanyang County first!" A man who looked like a young boy was riding on the horse. said loudly.

"Yes, the Tang family and the Marquis of Fanyang County are really close. It is God's will that we are ahead this time! It must be us, not the Tang family, who will marry the Marquis of Fanyang County!" Another boy laughed. road.

"..."

This group of young men were sent to Yingzhou by the major aristocratic families and high-ranking officials in the divine capital.

The task is to discuss marriage with the newly promoted nobleman Su Xian.

On the way, they were all very happy when they succeeded in leaving Tang Su behind who had set off first.

The distance of ten miles was not long, and not long after, they finally arrived at the gates of Yingzhou City.

The boys were still chatting and laughing just now, but now they are staring at each other closely, with vigilance, they are about to enter the city, and then there will be a competitive relationship between them.

"Drive!" Suddenly, a young boy ignored the rules of the world and actually patted the horse and entered the city when no one was paying attention.

"Damn it!" Some people were shocked and rushed into the city with whips raised.

"So shameless!"

The others were a little slower, but they immediately urged their horses to enter the city, for fear of falling behind others.

For a time, the streets leading to Fan Yanghou's mansion in Yingzhou City were filled with iron hooves, people were jumping on their backs, and there was a lot of swearing in the street.

But the servants didn't care. Their masters had already told them that they must negotiate a marriage with Su Xian during this trip, so they couldn't care less.

Fan Yanghou Mansion.

In front of the house.

The originally quiet street suddenly became noisy, and the horse's hooves made a clear clicking sound on the bluestone street, which alerted the concierge of the Hou Mansion.

"Who are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of the Hou Mansion?" The concierge turned around and walked out of the vermilion copper-nailed door, loudly scolding the boys who were running towards him.

After dismounting from their horses, the servants flocked to the house, took out invitation cards one after another, and announced their family names, and there was a commotion in front of the house.

The concierge suddenly felt very worried, because these people were from the mansions of the prime ministers and powerful people in the capital of God, and they had quite a lot of backgrounds.

"My prime minister wants to marry the Marquis of Fanyang County, please let me know..." Some people couldn't help but explain their intention.

"My family is also the prime minister, and we are here to discuss marriage. Why are you standing in the front? Get behind me!" The others suddenly couldn't sit still and started fighting in front of the palace gate.

"..."

Seeing this, the concierge couldn't help but suddenly realized. He looked at the scuffle and shouted loudly:

"You don't need to argue anymore. My Lord Marquis has already married the Tang family, and the gift of acceptance has been given away. It is a foregone conclusion. You all came from afar..."

As soon as the concierge finished speaking, the front door of the mansion suddenly became quiet.

The boys maintained their scuffling posture and turned to look at the concierge, with expressions of shock and loss on their faces, as well as a wry smile.

After all, they arrived a step too late.

He thought that by getting rid of Tang Su halfway, he would be able to take advantage of this trip.

But it turned out... they had already negotiated with the Tang family, and even sent the gift of acceptance. This... was another trip in vain!
……

It gradually became quiet in front of the Hou Mansion.

The boys from the capital city shook their heads and dispersed. They did not return to Beijing immediately, but stayed at an inn in the city to attend Su Xian's tail-burning feast three days later.

Even though we have not been able to get married, it is still necessary to win over the new nobles.

At the same time, the news about Su Xian's marriage to the Tang family spread out, instantly causing a sensation in the entire city of Yingzhou. Teahouses and restaurants were hotly discussed in the streets.

God knows how many young ladies who were waiting for marriage secretly shed tears after hearing this news...

Soon, word of the marriage reached the marching camp in the north of the city.

At first, when the news reached Qiu Dianjun, she was shocked. Su Xian was actually married to the Tang family and was about to marry the daughter of the Tang family. So... what about the princess?
She didn't dare to neglect, and went straight to the princess's bedchamber with this explosive news. She knew that Princess Lanling was handling official business in the study at this time.

On the way, she brainstormed and thought:
"The princess is talking to Su Yu... No, the princess is very affectionate towards the Marquis. As a golden princess, she actually gave her body without being married..."

"But it's good for the Marquis. He has just been granted the title of Marquis, and he has gone to marry the Tang family. Doesn't he think about the princess?"

"Fortunately, when I was confronting His Majesty in the City of Gods, I tried my best to say good things to him... but this is how he repaid me?"

"Hey, the princess is so pitiful..."

"With the princess's temper, she will definitely be furious. Let me think of a way to deal with it first... Well, the Tang family is an aristocratic family. Maybe we can use this to suppress Tang Ju, the governor of Yingzhou."

"..."

Not long after, Qiu Dian's army came to Li Youqing's study, and the princess was indeed at her desk dealing with official duties, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her face looked tired.

"Princess." Qiu Dianjun greeted.

"Yes." Li Youqing nodded, without raising his eyebrows, and was looking at an official document seriously.

"Princess, I just received a piece of news that concerns the Marquis of Fanyang County." Qiu Dianjun said, carefully considering his words so as not to irritate the princess.

"Oh?" Li Youqing raised his eyes, looked at her and said, "What's the news? Tell me."

"Today, the Marquis of Fanyang County...he...he got married to the Tang family!"

Qiu Dianjun finally decided to tell the truth.

After she finished speaking, she stared closely at Li Youqing's face. She had already imagined in her mind the scene of the princess rising up, getting angry, yelling, and baring her teeth.

However... Princess Lanling sat there motionless. She just put aside the half-read official document, looked up at her, and asked in a calm tone:
"Marriage between Marquis Fan Yang and the Tang family? The daughter of Tang Ju, the governor of Yingzhou? Tang Shuwan?"

"Not bad!" Qiu Dianjun was a little dazed and answered mechanically. She was very confused. Why was the princess so calm when she first heard the news?
Although the princess is a princess, she is still a woman. As a woman, her man will be snatched away by other women. Why can she be so calm?

"Eh!"

Princess Lanling sighed softly, slowly left her seat and stood up, walking to the window to enjoy the scenery, leaving Qiu Dianjun with a graceful figure from behind.

Qiu Dianjun was stunned again. Why did the princess sigh?

She was really curious, so she couldn't help but ask.

I sigh because Marquis Fan Yang is a... eunuch, and because of me, marrying Tang Shuwan is tantamount to being a widow... Naturally, Princess Lanling will not answer like this.

She didn't know how to answer, so she kept silent and pretended not to hear.

"The princess sighed, could it be because... the Marquis of Fanyang County is married to a noble family?"

Qiu Dianjun rolled his eyes and suggested:
"Princess, if the Tang family doesn't know what's good or bad, they might as well find a way to take off Tang Ju's black gauze hat. In this way, it can also be used to beat the Marquis of Fanyang County."

"Shut up!" Princess Lanling turned around suddenly, glaring with majestic phoenix eyes and a stern look on her face.
