It had been three days since Jiang Wanyan had married into the Prince's Manor.
It was also the third day since the Drunken Flower Lodge left the Duke in the capital.
In these three days, Jiang Wanyan did not step out of the bridal chamber. The sounds of her sharpening of the blade during the night were like a pig slaughtering knife placed in the hearts of everyone in the Residence of Prince.
Chief Steward Zhang Rui squatted at the door of the bridal room and called out, ”Our Concubine Wang is magnanimous! The dowry they brought just happens to make up for the losses that our Duke's Mansion suffered! ”
Jiang Wanyan listened without missing a word.
She had never thought that she would embark on the path of marriage, much less marry into the hands of the Prince.
Since she was ten years old, the ladies of the State of Qiang would always have a personal saber. What Jiang Wan Yan had sharpened over these past three days was hers.
Jiang Wanyan felt that this blade was meant for self-defense, so it should be polished to perfection. It was very suitable for the Prince Charming who did not even show his face on his wedding night.
Zhang Rui held Jiang Wanyan's maid, Yu Yan, and chatted with her heart and soul for a long time. From poetry to philosophy, Yu Yan had never met a man from the Xia Kingdom before.
He laughed loudly on the spot, in a very good mood.
Yu Yan turned around and sold him, ”Princess, that steward in the Duke Palaces has a glib tongue. I presume that the Prince Charming who is still in love with the land of the flowers and the moon is not much better.”
Jiang Wanyan wiped the knife clean and put it on her waist: ”Come out for a walk with me.”
On the fourth day, the entire palace finally saw the true appearance of the wangfei.
It was said that there were many beauties in Qiang. Jiang Wanyan was the Grand Princess of Qiang, and her mother was one of the top beauties in Qiang. Although she did not inherit her mother's grace and beauty, she was still a rare beauty.
Zhang Rui was dumbstruck.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Rui felt that this princess who was about to be married was most likely an ugly and fat fool.
For the past few days, Jiang Wanyan had been hiding in her room. It was not as if she did not know about the rumours that filled the sky.
Zhang Rui felt that His Majesty must have drank too much when he gave the decree to make the marriage decree. Otherwise, why would such a powerful and untouchable Grand Princess marry into their Duke's Estate?
Yu Yan brought out a stool for Jiang Wanyan, who strutted over to sit on it. She stared at the dumbfounded Zhang Rui with a cold expression: ”You're the butler?”
Zhang Rui did not have any reaction.
Yu Yan lifted her skirt and scampered over to him, shouting out loud: ”Princess Wangfei is asking you a question!”
Zhang Rui covered his ears and jumped away, baring his teeth as he woke up from his stupor. He glanced at the bandit like new wangfei, and kneeled down to salute: ”This little one is the steward of the Duke Palace, Zhang Rui. Greet the wangfei, what orders do you have for her?”
Jiang Wan Yan raised his eyebrows. He didn't give any instructions, ”You should know where your prince is right?”
Zhang Rui was startled, he opened his mouth and spoke nonsense: ”Princess, you must be joking, where is the prince going? How would he tell us to be a servant?”
Jiang Wanyan said in a long and profound tone, ”Oh. Since that's the case, I won't have to tell you if I go out and play around. ”
Then, he stood up: ”Yu Yan, let's go.”
Zhang Rui was dumbfounded once again.
