Chapter 394: Chapter 394 Two Princesses Have Arrived

"Everyone, follow this Princess to meet the envoys from Dongli Country,"

Chu Baihan rose quickly.

She mounted her horse, with Yan Lin and the others right behind her.

Zhu Xinyue also wanted to follow, but when she turned around, she discovered that there were no horses left by her side.

Her small face wrinkled up.

"Yueyue, give me your hand, I’ll take you there,"

Just at that moment, Zhu Yinian came to Zhu Xinyue’s side, reaching out his hand from atop his horse.

Looking at his broad palm, Zhu Xinyue’s heart did not ripple much; it lacked the throbbing sensation of the past.

She slowly looked up, her tone distant as she said, "There’s no need, big brother, I will find my own way over."

"Yueyue, why are you..."

Why are you being so cold to me.

Zhu Yinian’s heart ached momentarily.

"Xinyue, stretch out your hand,"

Right at that moment, another horse stopped beside Zhu Xinyue.

Zhu Xinyue was taken aback, she turned her head.

And she found that Jian Yun had somehow come to her side.

She was dressed in white today, with her hair tied up high, exhibiting the demeanor of a female knight.

"Yunyun, you’ve only been learning to ride for a few months, it could be dangerous to carry someone else,"

Yan Lian couldn’t be more nervous.

He too wanted to ride a horse with his wife, to be close to her.

But now Zhu Xinyue had come along!

Jian Yun glanced at Yan Lian, her tone serious, "Does the Prince not trust me? My horsemanship has been personally directed and praised by the esteemed Princess."

"I’m not distrusting you, I..." Yan Lian began to look aggrieved.

He was just feeling left out, that’s all.

But before he could finish his words, Jian Yun had already pulled Zhu Xinyue onto the horse, and then rode off at a gallop.

Yan Lian’s teeth clenched audibly.

As they rode past Zhu Yinian, he couldn’t help but say sarcastically, "General Zhu, we should be going."

He found Zhu Yinian very unpleasant to look at now.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had done something to dishearten Zhu Xinyue, she wouldn’t be so distant from him, nor would she compete with him for Yunyun.

Zhu Yinian didn’t notice Yan Lian’s hostility, he was still troubled by Zhu Xinyue’s coldness towards him just now.

Yueyue, does she truly hate me now?

How can I make amends.

...

The city gates were wide open.

The people from Dongli Country were already waiting there.

There weren’t many, but they had a formidable presence.

It was far stronger than the aura when Dongli Honglang led his troops.

Chu Baihan’s gaze settled on the leading few individuals.

"The esteemed Princess of Nanduan Kingdom, I presume?"

A man who appeared to be in his thirties stepped forward.

"Indeed," responded Chu Baihan with a cool voice.

"State Preceptor of Dongli Country, Lu Chen’an, at your service," the man continued.

Then, he began to introduce the people beside him.

"These are our second and eighth Princesses of Dongli Country."

Chu Baihan’s eyes fell upon the two women.

Their appearances were exquisite, as if they had stepped out of a painting.

Their clothes were vivid, with their slim, fair waists boldly exposed.

A good portion of their lower legs was also uncovered, and their ankles were wrapped in attractive silk ribbons, with several loops of bells that jingled as the wind blew.

Accompanying the breeze was a cloyingly sweet fragrance.

Chu had heard that Dongli Country had liberal customs, but she hadn’t expected them to be quite so liberal.

Those from Dongli seemed quite accustomed to this.

However, the people from Tongzhou had never seen such a sight before.

Many attendants turned their faces away, muttering under their breath, "Corrupting morals and mores, corrupting morals and mores."

Yan Lian was covering his eyes, playfully sulking and acting coquettishly with Jian Yun.

"Yunyun, I didn’t peek at them at all."

Jian Yun found it somewhat amusing.

After the prodigal son returned, he had actually become like this.

"Alright, it wouldn’t have mattered even if you had looked. It’s just a slim waist, I’ve seen my fair share," Jian Yun said calmly.

Her words successfully made Yan Lian uneasy.

He looked up in shock, asking urgently, "You’ve seen it? Where have you seen it?"

"The brothels in the capital city of Yan Country, don’t all the ladies dress like that?" Jian Yun looked away, speaking unnaturally.

"Oh, how do you know about that?" Yan Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ahem, just accidentally caught sight of it while passing by," Jian Yun awkwardly explained.

She certainly wouldn’t admit that she had snuck in a few times while cross-dressing.

Although she was taught as a lady of noble birth in Yan Country, there was still a bit of rebellion in her bones.

That’s why she had often done such things behind the scenes.

This was also why she liked the grand princess and Zhu Xinyue so much.

Because both of them possessed an unbridled spirit not found in ordinary Yan Country women.

Yan Lin’s gaze, however, was fixedly on the scene there.

"Princess, aren’t you worried? Prince Lin seems to be acting unusual," Nan Xing said as she looked on anxiously, unable to hold back from reminding Chu Baihan.

Only then did Chu Baihan turn her head to give Prince Lin a glance.

She noticed that he appeared to be staring blankly at those two beauties.

She whistled softly, then waved her hand at Nan Xing.

"No harm done. The appreciation of beauty is something everyone possesses. Not to mention the prince, I myself am quite fond of it as well."

After saying that, she whistled at the two ladies across from her again.

"It is often said that Dongli Country produces great beauties, and today I have seen it for myself. You two sisters are indeed as beautiful as celestial beings," she praised sincerely.

Everyone: "..."

Even those from Dongli Country had indescribable expressions.

Could this grand princess from Nanduan Kingdom be something of a lecher?

Hearing the conversation around him, Yan Lin’s expression darkened.

He was both helpless and plagued with a headache.

"Hanhan, I assure you I’m not interested in them," he explained in a low voice.

"Oh, you’re not interested, but I am," Chu Baihan said with her arms crossed, her tone utterly sincere.

Looking at beauties, she could eat several more bowls of rice.

Yan Lin: "..."

So, every day I must guard against men, and now also against women?

Pressing a hand to his throbbing temple, Yan Lin continued to speak softly, "The reason I’m focused on them is that I find these two princesses from Dongli Country a bit odd... and familiar."

Familiar?

The smile on Chu Baihan’s face faded slightly in an instant.

She looked over with a probing gaze.

The pair of sisters looked very similar to each other.

But she couldn’t remember when she had ever seen such faces before.

"The grand princess is truly a heroine among women, with tastes unlike those of ordinary ladies. Our emperor has sent us to discuss peace; I wonder if the grand princess would allow us to enter the city for a detailed discussion?" Lu Chen’an stroked his beard, probing.

"Of course, that’s possible,"

Chu Baihan immediately suppressed the coldness in her eyes, responding with a smile.

Everything in the city was ready.

Any schemes or tricks they wished to play would not be easy to carry out.

Leading them straight to the Zhu Residence,

Zhu Liqun had been waiting there for a while.

Upon seeing Chu Baihan bringing the envoys from Dongli Country, he hurriedly stepped forward to offer his greetings.

"This official greets the grand princess."

"Magistrate Zhu, today I will be hosting the envoys from Dongli Country. Please ensure that a feast is prepared," Chu Baihan ordered in a subdued tone.

"Yes, grand princess."
