In the post house, everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty has set up the courtyard, but the envoys and officials have no intention of resting.

They only found out about the rash on Princess Yong'an's body today at the Xifan Palace. With her appearance, they didn't know whether the marriage would go smoothly.

A ceremony official looked at Pei You worriedly: "Your Majesty, according to the current situation of the princess, the wedding ceremony may have to be postponed..."

Although the marriage was requested by Xifan, the king of Xifan might not be willing to marry this princess who was covered in red rashes and was unsightly.

I don’t know if Bai Xian will create other disturbances.

Pei You raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a soft voice: "Guan Zhao Li doesn't need to worry about this. I don't know, but Xibo is in a hurry to welcome the princess into the palace."

"It's just..." He sat up straight and glanced at the envoys and ceremony officials present: "You all need to remember that even though you are in Xibo now, the princess is still the princess of my great Zhou Dynasty, with noble blood."

"The princess is still recovering, so there is absolutely no reason why she would be looked down upon by rushing into the Xibo Palace in such a hurry."

"This..." The ceremony officer surnamed Zhao couldn't help but be startled and looked at him with hesitation, "What the prince means...even if the Xibo people urge you, the wedding ceremony must wait until the princess recovers?" "

Pei You nodded slightly: "That's right. For the princess and the Zhou Dynasty, the marriage ceremony is a big event, how can the princess be allowed to attend despite her illness? We have to wait for the princess to recover, so that Xifan can welcome her with a grand ceremony and all the people Worship, so that you can live up to the princess's dignity and undefeated Zhou Dynasty's reputation."

"But... the princess's rash... if it doesn't get better for a while..." the official stammered.

After all, according to what Princess Yong'an said today, she has had this rash for a few days. She also secretly sought medical officers and Xuanshi to take a look, but she still looks like this. I'm afraid it won't be cured in a short time.

If that's the case, will the wedding ceremony have to be postponed forever?

"If you can't get better for a while, then what's the harm in waiting a little longer. With so many capable people here in my great Zhou Dynasty, why are you worried about not being able to cure the princess' illness?" Pei You raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the ceremony official casually, " Could it be that after Zhao Liguan sent the princess to the royal capital of Xibo, he was in a hurry to return to Zhou Dynasty?"

"How could it be possible..." Liguan surnamed Zhao smiled coquettishly, "I am just afraid that it will take too long and affect the reconciliation between the two countries."

Pei You said softly, "Hmm," and said, "It's better if you don't rush. You all know the princess's great contribution to the Zhou Dynasty. And then the princess invited herself to marry Xifan, which is an act of great righteousness for all people."

"In this foreign land, you and I, my old ministers, are the princess's support. No matter what, the princess must be settled well before we can rest assured..."

He sighed slightly, and continued after a moment: "However, as far as Xifan is concerned, it is indeed a troublesome thing for you and me, ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to lead their troops."

Although one thousand elite soldiers is not too many, no one wants to have these foreigners stationed inside and outside the royal capital who need to be constantly vigilant.

"As I said before, the people in Xibo are not willing to send you and me away early. Instead, they have to hold the wedding ceremony early regardless of the princess's health."

At this point, the etiquette officials and envoys understood what they meant.

Since ancient times, life has always been more difficult for a married princess in a foreign country. Although Princess Yong'an is particularly extraordinary, she is currently covered in red rashes and her appearance is not yet known to be restored. If she enters the Xibo Palace like this, it will be difficult to establish herself in the future.

Pei You obviously wants everyone to stay here temporarily to support Princess Yongan. I can’t say, this is also what Princess Yongan meant...

The quick-thinking envoy thought of something deeper.

There have always been constant conflicts between Xibo and Dazhou, and now taking advantage of the opportunity of peace, Pei You can lead his elite troops.

This person is very good at swordsmanship and has made many military exploits on the northern battlefield when he was young. Is he really here just to escort Princess Yong'an?

And Princess Yong'an, with her unparalleled talents and skills, is she really willing to marry Xifan and become a caged bird in a foreign palace?

She...has no other plans?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. However, these can only be understood. He looked at Pei You's expression, swallowed these words wisely, and buried them in his heart for the time being. Seeing this, Pei You stood up and flicked his sleeves: "Now that you understand it, I will trouble you to deal with Xibo about the wedding ceremony."

The envoys and etiquette officials responded accordingly and bowed down to see him off.

Pei You walked out of the door, turned around and headed towards Xiao Lingjiang's courtyard.

In the room, Xiao Lingjiang was applying ointment under Qiongzhi's service.

She was originally very healthy, but if she suddenly developed a red rash all over her body, she would have to resort to other measures.

It's just that this method was indeed a bit harsh, and red rashes appeared, but there were also those that were broken and leaking water. If one of them was not treated well, scars would have to be left.

Qiongzhi looked at her terrifying skin and sighed: "Princess, look, which little lady is like you, having to torment her fair and jade-like skin to look like this. If you keep it, Scar, what should I do?”

Xiao Lingjiang smiled softly: "How can you say it is so serious? Besides, if you weren't like this? Our Lady Qiongzhi is good at medicine, so why should we worry about this little rash?"

Qiongzhi couldn't help but look at her with an angry look: "Princess, you are really too bold, and so is the Crown Prince, who let you do it."

Xiao Lingjiang smiled when he heard this: "He...if I don't do it, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do..."

When they were talking about Cao Cao's arrival, they heard Aman say: "Princess, the prince is here."

Xiao Lingjiang turned over and gathered his clothes: "Please come in, Your Majesty."

When Pei You entered the room, he saw Xiao Lingjiang leaning on the couch by the window, and Qiongzhi holding a celadon medicine box and sitting on a low stool nearby.

"Are you applying medicine?" He walked over and asked softly.

"Yeah." Xiao Lingjiang responded in a low voice.

"I'll do it." Pei You stretched out his hand and motioned for Qiongzhi to hand him the medicine box.

Qiongzhi glanced at Xiao Lingjiang quietly, and seeing that she had no objection, she handed over the medicine box as instructed, bowed her knees and retreated to the door, closing the door gently.

Pei You dipped his index finger into the ointment, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils. He bent his knees and sat down on a small stool nearby. It was a bit funny to see such a big man sitting there huddled up.

He looked at the ruptured rash on Xiao Lingjiang's face, and couldn't help showing a look of distress in his eyes. He touched it lightly with his index finger dipped in ointment, fearing that he would hurt the person in front of him.

Xiao Lingjiang blinked at him: "How do I describe it now? I saw that Mu Chi Zanpu couldn't bear to look at me when he saw me today. It seems that this look really shocked him. Jump..." Thinking of the wonderful expressions on the faces of everyone in the palace today, she felt funny.

Pei You lowered his head and looked at the smile on her face, spoke softly, and his eyes looked straight into her heart: "That Muchizanpu just has no vision. No matter when, Ah Heng, you have always been in my eyes. It is the most unique and precious.”

His index finger gently brushed Xiao Lingjiang's cheek and tapped the corners of her eyes: "Even if others can't read these eyes, I can understand..."

Ah Heng, the Ah Heng he had hidden in his heart for many years, even if his body and appearance changed, even if his skin was covered with red rashes and his skin was almost intact, he would always be the most unique and precious one in his eyes and heart.

As he spoke, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.

The afternoon sun slanted through the cracks in the window lattice, and the golden light shone on the two of them, as if they were coated with a faint halo.
