Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Young Master of Ruyi Chapter 393: Marriage Revisited When Tang Ning saw the enchantress sitting in front of the mirror, he immediately thought that the little girl had run away. After a careful identification, he found that it was her who was sitting in front of the mirror, but her face was smeared red and white like a ghost, which almost made Tang Ning upset.

Then he realized that she was putting on makeup, which Tang Ning thought was completely unnecessary.

In fact, if she cleaned up, she would be considered a little beauty, and there was no need to put on rouge and powder. Moreover, she grew up drinking goat milk, and her skin was whiter and more delicate than that of ordinary Han women. Putting something on her face would be a bit superfluous.

Seeing Tang Ning coming in, she immediately asked, "Does my painting look good?"

Tang Ning changed the subject and said, "Let's eat."

Wan Yanyan frowned her crooked eyebrows and asked, "Does my painting look bad?"

"Master Tang, the princess asked me to ask you..." Zijuan came in from outside and took a few steps back when she saw Wan Yanyan, screaming, "There's a ghost!"

Zijuan was so scared that she ran away. Wan Yanyan filled a basin with hot water and rubbed her face with a towel, wishing she could rub off all the skin on her face.

After washing, she never mentioned makeup and focused on the bowl of assorted chicken soup casserole.

No foodie can resist the temptation of the casserole. After eating three bowls in a row, she lay on the bed and didn't want to move. She put out all the jewelry in a small box and showed a happy expression on her face.

Being a princess to this extent is actually quite miserable.

Although the tribes on the grasslands are strong in combat, almost every tribe has to worry about their livelihoods. In terms of wealth, they naturally cannot be compared with the two countries of Chen and Chu.

Zhao Man is a princess. She has been living a life of luxury since she was a child. She has never lacked clothes and jewelry, so she has no concept of thrift. Wan Yan Yan is different. Although she is a princess, she has been poor since she was a child. She regards Zhao Man's old clothes and old jewelry as treasures.

After getting along with her all the way, Tang Ning has already experienced her character. The little girl is a little bit savage, but putting aside the position, it is difficult to have any bad feelings towards her.

After he finished his meal, he remembered something. He walked into the room, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill for Tang Shui, and said, "This is the Da Huan Dan. You should eat it. It is good for your body."

This is a holy medicine for healing and detoxification given to him by Dr. Sun. He used two pills before, and this is the last one.

Tang Shui took the pill, put it back into the porcelain bottle, and said, "This is life-saving stuff. It would be a waste if I eat it. You should keep it and use it at a critical moment."

Tang Ning originally insisted that she eat it now, but she could not bear Tang Shui's repeated refusal, so she had to keep it.

Tang Shui looked at him and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

Tang Ning thought about it and said, "Wait a little longer."

The death of the emperor is a major event. From condolences to burial, it will take at least half a month. During this period, they cannot leave.

In addition, after today, the news of the death of the King of Chu will gradually spread to other states. Prince Xin's succession to the throne is not legitimate. I don't know what kind of turbulence the situation will have. Just in case, it's better to wait and see.

Ten days have passed in a flash.

The auspicious day for the burial of the King of Chu has also been determined, which is ten days later.

During these ten days, Tang Shui's body had recovered almost completely. She could run, jump and fight. Tang Ning had a sparring match with her while she was practicing. After ten moves, Tang Ning lay on the ground and called her cousin.

He had sparred with many people, mostly women. Among the women he knew, the most powerful one should be Su Mei. She had many strange and bizarre moves. Even without using her hands or feet, he was still no match for her. The second most powerful one was Li Tianlan. Tang Shui might be a little weaker than her. Then there was Tang Yaojing. Even so, she still beat him completely.

Because of this, Tang Ning had always had a good impression of Wanyan Yan.

Wanyan Yan really liked Han Chinese things. Ever since Tang Ning forced her to take a bath, change clothes and comb her hair last time, she had been dressing like Han Chinese. When Tang Ning brought her food today, he actually found her practicing drawing eyebrows on a steamed bun.

A few days ago, Wanyan Yan borrowed 100 taels of silver from him and went to the street to buy many things, such as cloth, rouge, and small accessories, and promised to pay him double in the future.

Tang Ning let her go out with the silver without worry, and Wanyan Yan did not disappoint his trust. Even if no one was watching her, she did not run away.

Zhao Man's little rabbit finally died. She didn't watch it that morning and let it run away. A few hours later, when a guard found it in the grass by the lake, its rabbit life was over.

It was very hot at noon these days. The rabbit should have suffered from heatstroke when it ran away, and it was not rescued in time. Zhao Man buried her rabbit with tears, and Tang Ning had to take back the spices for barbecue.

Within one month after the emperor's death, people were prohibited from slaughtering livestock and rabbit meat could not be bought, so they had to wait until later.

Tang Ning hasn't seen Li Tianlan since that day. The royal family of Chu were all in their fiefdoms. After receiving the news of the emperor's death, they rushed to Kyoto one by one. Although she was a princess, she was the only royal child in the capital and should have a lot of things to do.

Unable to leave for the time being, it would be boring to stay here all day, Tang Ning decided to make a deck of cards to play with. Just when he found the right cardboard, Chen Zhou knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Sir, someone is coming from the palace."

He led an eunuch in, and the eunuch walked up to Tang Ning, bowed and said, "Your Majesty summoned your country's marriage envoy."

Your Majesty is Prince Xin. Although Prince Xin has not officially ascended the throne, he is only one step away from the coronation ceremony. Li Tianlan and Princess Xin have already moved to the palace. Princess Xin has been promoted to Queen, and Princess Changning has also become Princess Changning.

If Wanyan Yan is included, he already has three princess friends.

Prince Xin has not looked for him these days, and he doesn't know what happened this time. Tang Ning, He Rui and Lu Teng entered the palace and were led by the eunuch to a hall.

After an eunuch at the door went in to report, he quickly came out and said, "Please come in, three of you."

Tang Ning walked into the hall and saw Prince Xin sitting high on the throne. There were several people standing in the hall. Tang Ning only knew one of them, the Minister of Rites who was standing in the front and had received them before.

Both Prince Xin and the many officials in the hall were dressed in mourning. From the day of the burial, except for the ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement, all civil and military officials and Prince Xin, who was about to become the King of Chu, had to observe mourning for three months.

Tang Ning walked into the hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Prince Xin looked down and said, "No need to be polite."

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Today I summoned you to the palace for the marriage of Princess Pingyang."

"When the late emperor was alive, in order to stabilize the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the marriage between the crown prince and Princess Pingyang was decided. Now that the late emperor has passed away and the crown prince has been abolished, this marriage should be abolished. I wonder if the Chen State delegation has any objections?"

Tang Ning bowed and said, "No objection."

The Minister of Rites pondered for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the marriage between Chen and Chu is a major event that is beneficial to diplomatic relations. Although the crown prince has been abolished, there are still young talents of the right age among the royal children. It is better to write a letter to the state and order the envoy to send it to Chen State by fast horse. Choose a royal child and then discuss the marriage..."

As the Minister of Rites was speaking, his tone suddenly paused. He turned his head and looked. He always felt that the look of the marriage envoy from Chen State was a little wrong, which made him very uncomfortable.

He shook his head, threw away this strange feeling, and continued, "I think that the # %*%￥#@ of Chen and Chu should not be affected by the abolition of the crown prince..."

An official next to the Minister of Rites heard a plop, turned his head in surprise, looked at the Minister of Rites who was limp on the ground, his eyes rolled up, and foamed at the mouth, and said in shock, "Master Zhang, Master Zhang, what's wrong with you..."
