Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659: Chongfei’s Darkening Script 11

"Princess, where is your Phoenix Hairpin?"

Su Yan asked earnestly.

"I gave it away."

Xiao Tao was taken aback.

"You, you, how could you give that away?"

Saying this, she quickly set the pastry aside to help Su Yan style her hair.

While combing, she spoke.

"Princess, how could you give it away?

It was crafted especially for you by the finest artisans from the whole country, as ordered by the Emperor.

It is the only Phoenix Wings in the world, a symbol of your status."

Su Yan let Xiao Tao comb her hair, then spoke.

"It’s alright."

Xiao Tao wanted to say more but stopped, feeling a bit anxious, and finally sighed.

Xiao Tao found another golden hairpin and placed it in Su Yan’s hair.

Seeing the princess’s appearance, Xiao Tao was slightly stunned.

The princess is truly beautiful.

Prince Zhen Nan is coming to receive her, so they must hurry there.

Yet, upon reaching the post station, they looked at the arriving group, seeing no joy on their faces, not even dressed in wedding attire.

The clashing of armors echoed.

A long knife hung at the waist, emanating coldness.

Dozens of men stood there.

The leader surveyed Su Yan up and down, then spoke.

"The princess from Jianglan Country?"

Su Yan nodded.

"Yes."

Then, the leader averted his gaze.

"Men, help the princess into the carriage."

Xiao Tao was somewhat upset, why were there only men welcoming the bride, not a single woman?

How could they let the future princess stay with a group of men?

Is Prince Zhen Nan truly unaware of the rules or is it deliberate?

Su Yan, however, was not angry about this.

She sat in the carriage.

When the curtain was drawn, Su Yan took out a piece of candy from a bag.

Xiao Hua was surprised.

"Host, did you encounter a problem?"

Su Yan.

"No."

"Then why are you eating candy?"

In Xiao Hua’s memory, the host seemed to only eat candy when troubled.

Su Yan.

"Hungry."

Xiao Hua.

"Oh... I see."

It thought the host was contemplating how not to marry Ouyang Yu.

The carriage traveled for an hour.

Su Yan ate candy for the entire time.

The wrappers of the candies were placed one by one in a small box.

Waiting for the carriage to stop.

Su Yan covered the small box.

Then, she heard the leader of the soldiers say.

"Princess has arrived, please step down from the carriage."

Xiao Tao lifted the curtain and spoke.

"Princess."

Su Yan raised her hand to hold Xiao Tao’s arm, then stepped down from the carriage.

At once, the sign of Prince Zhen Nan Mansion came into view.

The dark wooden door exuded solemnity.

Placed beside it, two stone lions also appeared particularly imposing.

On usual days.

One might admire it, worthy of being Prince Zhen Nan’s residence.

Yet today.

Despite being the day Prince Zhen Nan was to wed, there was not a trace of festivity in the mansion.

From top to bottom, it seemed to convey dissatisfaction with this political marriage.

Until the nearby general cupped his fists and spoke.

"Princess, the General is still on the front line and has not returned, the marriage arrangements are to be slightly delayed and discussed later.

You may stay here, the guest room has been prepared for you, all arrangements will be made once the General returns."

After hearing this, Su Yan asked.

"When will he return?"

This question hung in the general’s ears, he thought she was eager to get married, to set everything down.

After all, someone of the General’s stature, many girls were indeed waiting to marry him.

The general spoke.

"This, I’m not aware."

Su Yan nodded, then asked again.

"We have not yet married, so from a certain perspective, we are not considered husband and wife, correct?"

The general was taken aback, not knowing why she suddenly asked this.
