48: Chapter 48: This princess is called Nan Baihan
48 -48: This princess is called Nan Baihan
Late at night.
Chu Baihan, dressed to the nines, stepped out of the Princess Residence.
The carriage sent from the palace to pick her up had already stopped at the entrance.
What she hadn’t expected was that the person coming to fetch her was…
Yan Lian.
Yan Lian’s red attire was even more flamboyant at night than it was during the day, resembling a peacock displaying its feathers.
She hadn’t expected that, even after six years, he still favored such garments.
Suppressing her emotions, Chu Baihan called out indifferently, “Ninth Prince.”
“The Emperor has entrusted me with the honor of escorting the Princess Consort,” he said with a smile to Chu Baihan, blinking his affectionate peach blossom eyes.
“By the way, it seems I still do not know the honorific name of the Princess Consort,” he continued, his tone laden with probing.
Truth be told, not only did his eighth brother find her reminiscent of the Eighth Princess Consort, he too felt she was eerily familiar.
“Ninth Prince, listen closely, my name is—Nan Baihan.”
After this statement, Chu Baihan boarded the carriage first and drew the curtain.
Nan Baihan?
Baihan?
The Eighth Princess Consort’s name was Chu Baihan.
Could it be that she really is the Eighth Princess Consort?
Yan Lin could no longer sit still.
He wanted to continue questioning Chu Baihan.
But Nan Xing was already blocking his way.
“Ninth Prince, please show some respect!
Our Princess is exhausted from the travel, please refrain from disturbing her.”
“But…”
Yan Lian’s heart was filled with urgency, yet he could only restrain himself.
However, before setting off, he summoned a guard and whispered, “Hurry to the Prince Residence, and have the Eighth Prince attend this banquet.”
“Yes, My Prince.”
Chu Baihan was indeed somewhat fatigued these days, and it was not just an excuse for Yan Lian.
It would normally take a month to travel from Nanduan Capital to Yan Country’s capital city, yet they had managed to make the journey in just half a month.
Because…
She couldn’t wait any longer!
“Nan Xing, did you get the information?
About the Yan Country National Treasury,” she asked slowly opening her eyes, which held a cold sharpness.
“I have.
The Ministry of Revenue of Yan Country audits the treasury’s contents every two to four months.
However, there are still three months left until the next audit.
We can’t wait that long, so we must find the key to the Treasury,” Nan Xing replied respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan’s eyes reflected a serious glint.
There was something in the Yan Country National Treasury she had to acquire at all costs because she needed it to save the life of someone very important to her.
At this moment, Yan Lian’s voice came from outside.
“Eigh…
Princess Consort, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace.”
Chu Baihan smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves with her fingertips and stood up slowly, “Let’s go.”
Upon seeing her descend, Yan Lian held his breath, as if trying to discern something amiss from her appearance.
“Ninth Prince, could it be that there is something improper about me that compels you to stare at me with such scrutiny?”
Chu Baihan lifted her gaze, her cool eyes staring back at him.
Yan Lian’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly said, “No, there’s nothing amiss.
It’s just that the Princess Consort reminds me of someone I used to know.”
“There are many similar faces in the vast world, Ninth Prince, you should not be troubled by it,” Chu Baihan said before turning and walking straight into the palace.
As soon as she entered, everyone fell silent and began to look at her with curiosity.
“Princess Consort, your seat is over here.”
The eunuch hurried over and respectfully said to Chu Baihan.
Chu Baihan looked over and found her seat right below the Dragon Throne.
Opposite her were the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince, and the Third Prince.
It was apparent the Emperor took this marriage alliance quite seriously.
Suppressing her emotions, Chu Baihan walked slowly to the seat the eunuch had pointed out and sat down.
“Princess, our seats are quite close, aren’t they?”
Yan Lian was sitting on the same side as her, with only one empty seat between them.
He enthusiastically waved at her.
Chu Baihan frowned, if Yan Lian was sitting there, then the seat between them…
As if knowing her doubt, Yan Lian eagerly answered her, “This seat is meant for my eighth brother.”
What?
Yan Lin’s?
Wasn’t it said that he never attended such banquets?
The color beneath Chu Baihan’s veil grew very unpleasant.
“That must be the Liu Family’s eldest daughter, right?
Unbelievable that she would also attend the banquet.”
Someone unknown had remarked, and under Chu Baihan’s long sleeve, her armor was forcefully snapped.
She lowered her gaze, bloodlust churning within, barely able to conceal her hatred.
“After being rejected five years ago, she has barely been seen in public; why today…”
“What do you know?
She simply hasn’t appeared before us, but she has won the favor of the Emperor, the Empress, and Consort Jiang.
Whenever these nobles from the palace feel unwell, they don’t even seek the Imperial Physician, but directly summon her to enter the palace.”
“So that’s how it is.” The crowd nodded in understanding.
The Empress and Consort Jiang were sworn enemies, yet this Miss Liu had managed to win the affection of both, which spoke volumes of her skill.
No wonder the Crown Prince has pined for her for so many years.
“Besides, tonight’s palace banquet is so important.
Even though she was rejected by Prince Yan Lin, her status remains eminent, so naturally, she would attend.”
“Do you think the Emperor will decide tonight who will marry the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom?
Could this have an effect on Miss Liu?”
As these people chattered, they brought the topic back to the subject of marriage alliances.
“Sister Liu, you’re here too.” Suddenly, a figure ran to Liu Shuxin’s side, speaking to her affectionately.
That voice…
was also familiar.
Hearing this voice, Chu Baihan’s body trembled slightly.
She was enveloped in a chill.
Nan Xing looked over and saw Chu You standing beside Liu Shuxin.
These two enemies had actually become friends!
After exhaling a breath of foul air, it was no wonder the Princess was angered; she almost wished she could rush forward and kill them.
“That is…”
The curiosity of some Ministers’ family members was piqued.
“The legitimate daughter of the Chu Family,” someone replied helpfully.
The term “legitimate daughter of the Chu Family” again intensified the chill that enveloped Chu Baihan.
“That’s not right, wasn’t the legitimate daughter of the Chu Family the former Princess Consort of Prince Yan Lin?
How did another legitimate daughter of the Chu Family pop up?” someone questioned.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
“You’re out of the loop.
After the death of Prince Yan Lin’s Princess Consort, General Chu elevated his concubine to his legal wife, and naturally, this concubine daughter became the legitimate daughter.”
So it was…
Chu Baihan snapped another piece of her armor, her eyes now surrounded by a murderous intent.
“Youyou, don’t bother Miss Liu anymore, come over here,”
At that moment, already seated, Chu Hesheng waved Chu You over.
Chu You quickly turned and ran back.
To the left of Chu Hesheng sat Chu You, and to the right sat Madam Jiang, a picture of a happy and warm family.
