My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 396: The Marriage Alliance Arrives

Chapter 396: Chapter 396: The Marriage Alliance Arrives

"Then tell this Princess, what kind of people are the Second and Eighth Imperial Princesses of Dongli Country?"

Chu Baihan asked casually.

"The Second and Eighth Princesses? You mean, Dongli Ling and Dongli Ya?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Dongli Honglang’s pained face.

"Yes, it is them."

"Why, why do you suddenly ask about them?" Dongli Honglang’s tone became even stranger.

"The envoys who came this time are your Prime Minister and two princesses."

Chu Baihan explained slowly while observing Dongli Honglang’s expression.

"It seems that father wants to discuss peace through a marital alliance between our nations," Dongli Honglang muttered.

"A marital alliance? No, it should be a marriage for peace. This is not surprising. Why did you look so strange just now?"

Chu Baihan’s penetrating gaze fell on Dongli Honglang once again.

Dongli Honglang took a deep breath to suppress his pain, then forced a smile and said, "Because these two imperial sisters are the most favored princesses in Dongli Country right now."

"Sending the most favored princesses for a marriage of peace. Not bad, Dongli Country still has the consciousness of a defeated country."

Chu Baihan clapped her hands and "praised."

Naturally, the word "defeated country" stung Dongli Honglang.

He clenched his teeth, his face becoming even more ferocious.

"Then you must be careful. My two imperial sisters are very stubborn. Especially the Second Princess, other princesses at her age would not only have Prince Consorts but also crowds of concubines. But why hasn’t she married yet?"

His words indeed caught the attention of Chu Baihan and Yan Lin.

"Why?" Yan Lin narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

"That’s because she likes a poor boy. But sadly, father does not agree, so she has always been threatening with death. With many imperial daughters, father is too lazy to pay attention to her, thus her marriage has been delayed until now."

"As for the Eighth Sister, her temperament is even weirder; she actually wants to remain unmarried for life."

"Why are they willing to come for a marriage of peace now?" Chu Baihan murmured.

Dongli Honglang sneered, "What else could it be? Perhaps father killed the Second Sister’s beloved, or maybe he trapped the mother of the Eighth Sister in the palace as a warning."

"After all, they are princesses and cannot inherit the throne in the future. Trading their happiness for this Crown Prince to return is their good fortune."

By the end, Dongli Honglang’s tone was quite proud.

"What a ’good fortune’ indeed."

Chu Baihan sneered, looking down on Dongli Honglang disdainfully and said, "Dongli Honglang, as the Crown Prince of Dongli, you scorn women so, yet in the end, you still need a woman to save you. What do you have to be proud of?"

"You..."

Dongli Honglang was once again angered, losing control of his emotions.

"Chu Baihan, when my two imperial sisters initially refused to marry, they caused chaos. Even if they are sent here, you won’t be able to make them obey quietly."

He now dearly hoped to see Chu Baihan troubled by this issue.

"Oh? Since they are so difficult to tame, it might be better to send them back. And your life... will remain here."

Chu Baihan spoke indifferently.

That casual tone sounded like a soul-summoning spell.

Dongli Honglang turned pale and forgot how to be arrogant.

"Princess, this is an opportunity for goodwill between two countries, how can we give it up? If the women are disobedient, just smack them a couple of times."

"If you don’t know how to make them obey, send them over, and I will train them."

"Also, you can demand as many cities from my father as you want. He will definitely save me. As long as you let me go, any terms will do."

Such lack of spine!

Chu Baihan withdrew her disdainful gaze.

With such a person as the Crown Prince, she now felt somewhat sympathetic towards the Emperor of Dongli.

"I guess there’s nothing else to ask. Let’s go," Chu Baihan said softly, turning to Yan Lin.

"Alright."

Yan Lin followed her without any hesitation.

"Chu Baihan, I have told you everything, where is the antidote!"

Behind them, the painful cries of Dongli Honglang carried through.

"This poison won’t take your life, it will only cause you pain for three days and three nights. This time should be just enough for your repentance."

Having said that, Chu Baihan swept away.

He left Dongli Honglang crying and screaming behind him.

Once outside, Chu Baihan asked Yan Lin, "Do you think Dongli Honglang’s words were true or false?"

"At this time, he has no reason to lie," Yan Lin said flatly.

Indeed.

Chu Baihan nodded slightly.

"So, those two princesses were forced to come here for a marriage alliance. But the other side was wearing a veil and they have never spoken to us. It’s hard for me to judge their attitude at the moment."

"Let me pay them a visit then. I want to see what the fox’s tail really looks like."

Chu Baihan winked at Yan Lin.

"Okay, but be careful," Yan Lin advised seriously.

"I know. Lord Yan, why are you even more talkative than Ruolan now?" Chu Baihan joked.

"Is the princess consort disdainful of me now?"

The face of Prince Yan Lin suddenly fell, and his tone... was very aggrieved.

Before Chu Baihan could respond, he leaned over and embraced her.

"Princess consort, is there another ’dog’ outside, or why else would you find me too talkative?"

His head rubbed against her neck a few times.

It was a bit ticklish, and Chu Baihan couldn’t help but raise her hand to press his head down, and while she was at it, she ruffled his dark hair, as if to groom him.

"Where did you hear such absurd reasoning, about having ’another dog’ outside?"

She spoke somewhat helplessly.

"But you do find me too talkative," Yan Lin huffed.

Chu Baihan: "..."

"I was just joking earlier. I’m too happy to care that the prince is concerned about me, how could I disdain you?" she said earnestly.

"I knew it was so," Yan Lin agreed as he nodded vigorously.

The next moment, he scooped her up around the waist and leapt onto the horse.

"Let’s return home."

There was a distance from the military camp to the Zhu Residence.

Chu Baihan and Yan Lin were riding together through the streets, and many townspeople saw them.

"My dignity is all but gone, all thanks to you," Chu Baihan complained with an unnatural flush on her face to the man behind her.

"No problem, look, the gaze of the townspeople is full of blessings for us," Yan Lin spoke with a tone of conceited pride.

Chu Baihan: "..."

At that moment, some townsperson started to tease.

"Imperial Princess, don’t be shy, we didn’t see anything!"

"Yes, Imperial Princess, we didn’t see anything."

"You and Prince Yan Lin carry on."

Chu Baihan: "..."

So, did they not see, or had they already seen everything clearly?
