Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

East Mirror Nation, house of the marquis.

Yan Xiaotian led his men and kneeled on the ground, waiting for the imperial edict to be read out.

"According to the will of the heavens, the emperor decrees that Xiao Yan and Xiaoxi will be the princess of Peace, and that they will one day marry into the Southern Water Kingdom." The Minister closed the royal decree and respectfully handed it over to Yan Xiaoxi.

When they heard the two words "distant marriage", the servants looked at each other, their hearts couldn't help but worry for the Miss's fate.

Half a year ago, when the emperor returned from the Immortal Spirit Island to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, he started a war against the Southern Water Country without any forewarning and lost. The two sides negotiated and chose to tie the knot in exchange for a temporary peace.

However, everyone knew that this nominal marriage alliance was actually the suppression of the hostages.

Those who went were doomed.

It was precisely because of this that the Emperor did not allow his own younger sister to marry him, but sacrificed their princess instead.

"Ridiculous, this old man wants to find the emperor for a reason." Back then, he, Yan Xiaotian, was renowned throughout the battlefield, and the previous emperor had treated him with utmost respect.

Who would've thought that after handing over the military authority and retreating for half a year, the Emperor would bully him?

How could he bear with this anger?

"Master Hou wants to defy the decree?" The Minister raised his voice with a hint of warning.

"Isn't the princess still in the pavilion? What right do you have to make this old one's daughter marry someone else? " Logically speaking, the marriage between two nations was between members of the Imperial Family. No matter what, it wouldn't take the place of a princess with another surname like theirs.

"Didn't the marquis know that the princess had married the great general of the hussar yesterday? You should also know that there is only one princess in the entire Eastern Mirror Kingdom. Other than her, only one princess is fit to be Prince Lin. " With regards to this, the Minister of Imperial Household couldn't help but express his admiration for the Emperor's ingenious move. He had long anticipated that the Marquis would ask such a question and had made him prepare a response in advance.

Yan Xiaotian clenched his fists, his veins popping as he turned and rushed to the door. "This old man will enter the palace now and find His Majesty."

This was intolerable. There was actually no news at all about the princess' grand wedding yesterday. It didn't even need to be thought to know that all of this had been planned by the emperor a long time ago.

"Father." Yan Xiaoxi called out to stop Yan Xiaotian, preventing him from leaving.

Yan Xiaotian turned his head and looked at his daughter, who had only been back at home for a month. "Don't worry. Daddy won't let you marry into the Southern Water Country."

"Wait a moment, daughter has a question to ask." Yan Xiaoxi rolled her cunning eyes, as if she was thinking of something.

"Alright, go ahead." Yan Xiaotian had always doted on Yan Xiaoxi, and his demands towards her had reached a point where they could only obey orders.

"Is my future husband handsome?" This question completely stunned everyone.

Yan Xiaotian nodded his head. He still hadn't figured out the temperament of this weird daughter of his.

As Yan Xiaoxi had been weak and sickly ever since she was young, he had no choice but to send her to the world to practice martial arts with the world's experts.

As a father, Yan Xiaotian naturally had the responsibility to protect his daughter.

"Wow, that's great. Daddy, you don't have to go to the palace. I'll marry you." Yan Xiaoxi clapped excitedly. Beautiful men and delicious food were her favorite.

When he thought of marrying, hugging a beautiful man while eating delicious food, just thinking of that scene made him drool.

"Miss?" Xiao Cui couldn't help but touch Yan Xiaoxi's forehead, testing her own temperature. There wasn't a fever, why was Miss spouting nonsense?

"Xi Er!" Looking at Yan Xiaoxi's smiling face which didn't seem to be happy at all, Yan Xiaotian felt helpless.

When the head eunuch heard these words, he naturally applauded and hastened to say, "Princess, you're really very righteous. We'll head back now and report to the emperor."

With that, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, disappearing from everyone's sight. His speed was so fast that it made others sigh.

Seven days later, the wedding procession officially set out.

Yan Xiaoxi wore a custom-made red phoenix coronet dress. The peonies embroidered on it were vivid and lifelike, with tens of thousands of black hair tied up in a bun.

She sat in the palanquin, leisurely nibbling on an apple. From time to time, there would even be some crunching sounds. It was sufficient to show that she was in quite a good mood.

Xiao Cui followed the procession and walked along, her face filled with suspicions as she looked at the red palanquin, she was truly confused about her young miss' actions.

Could it be that Miss has never been aware of her current situation? This was not as simple as marrying someone. If she wasn't careful, she might lose her life, yet she was still this happy.

"Xiao Cui, how long until we arrive?" Yan Xiaoxi lifted the curtain and threw away the apple core.

"We've already reached the border of the Southern Water Country. We'll soon enter the city." Xiao Cui answered honestly.

"Great, we can finally eat meat!" All along the way, they had to use dry rations and fruits to fill their stomach. This was a huge torment for Yan Xiaoxi. She was a carnivorous animal, so not giving her meat was no different from killing her.

Xiao Cui stared at Yan Xiaoxi dumbfoundedly, unable to recover from her shock for a long time.

The escort team, without any obstructions, quickly arrived at their destination.

Inside Prince Lin's mansion, there were lights and decorations, and the scene was festive.

At the entrance, the butler was already waiting. He respectfully led Yan Xiaoxi and the rest into the manor.

"Princess, please rest for a moment in this room. When the auspicious hour arrives, there will be someone to lead you to the main hall." With that, the butler prepared to leave.

"Wait." Yan Xiaoxi covered her head with her hands, but as a martial artist, she could feel the steward's footsteps.

"What other orders does the wangfei have?" The butler glanced at Yan Xiaoxi in surprise.

"Prepare some food for me, I want some meat." Yan Xiaoxi rubbed her shriveled stomach and gulped. She was starving.

"This old servant will go prepare it now." The butler was stunned and left the room.

Very soon, there was a variety of food placed in front of Yan Xiaoxi. There were crystal shrimp dumplings, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, drunk duck, and chicken. Everything was available.

"Xiao Cui, don't stand there, let's eat together?" Yan Xiaoxi mumbled indistinctly as she held a chicken drumstick in her hand, her face covered in grease.

It was unknown when Xiao Cui had gotten used to Yan Xiaoxi's strange behavior as she shook her head and took out her handkerchief to wipe away the dirt on the corner of Yan Xiaoxi's mouth.

"Miss, slow down. Don't dirty your clothes." Xiao Cui carefully cleaned up the remnants of the wedding dress while Yan Xiaoxi continued to eat her food.

After eating their fill, the auspicious hour had arrived. The maidservant brought Yan Xiaoxi to the main hall.

The main hall was bustling with noise and excitement.

The moment that Yan Xiaoxi walked in, there was absolute silence.

Under the guidance of the maidservant, Yan Xiaoxi received the red silk. On the other side of the red silk was her husband, Nangong Lin.
