My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 46 - The Eldest Princess of Nanduan Kingdom

The people of the borderlands are already unable to hold on.”

“Indeed, it’s said that the Emperor of Nanduan cherishes his eldest princess the most.

Sending her to form a marriage alliance truly shows his sincerity.

The only question is, among so many princes of ours, who will marry the eldest princess?”

“…”

Soon, these discussions were silenced, as the Crown Prince, the eldest Prince, the third Prince, the fifth Prince, and the ninth Prince came riding on horses.

The Imperial Family members always had excellent appearances, except the fifth Prince, who, being perpetually immersed among women, had ruined his health, exuding an air both dissipated and sleazy; the rest of the Princes were quite pleasing to the eyes.

Especially Crown Prince Yan Xiao and Prince Yan Lian.

Crown Prince Yan Xiao, wearing a robe with a four-toed dragon, had long, narrow eyes and a high-bridged nose.

Although he had a cold and distant appearance, there was always a faint smile on his lips, making him seem not so unapproachable.

Among the crowd were unmarried women, each with flushed faces.

“Do you think the eldest Princess from Nanduan Kingdom will eventually become our Crown Princess Consort?”

Unable to hold back, someone asked aloud again.

“The Crown Prince has yet to take a primary wife, and there are only two concubines and other concubines in the palace—his status…

indeed matches that of the eldest princess of the Nanduan Kingdom.”

“Isn’t it said that the Crown Prince’s favorite is still the Liu Family’s Miss?

Since six years ago, after Miss Liu was rejected by Prince Yan Lin, she has remained in her boudoir.

The Crown Prince has not married a primary wife either.

Could it be that he is waiting for Miss Liu?”

“Then it seems Prince Yan Lian might be suited for the eldest princess of Nanduan Kingdom,” someone suddenly blurted out.

All eyes turned to see Prince Yan Lian dressed in red, strikingly handsome.

Just by looks, he was indeed worth many a lady’s heartflutter.

But he had famous beauties from all over as intimate friends; marrying him must be tiring.

Most importantly, he held no significant power, just a leisurely prince.

“Do not forget, this eldest princess is a legend of the Nanduan Kingdom.

It is said that she was lost among the common folk since her childhood and was only found a few years ago, yet she lacks neither talent nor strategic acumen.

She can participate in court sessions as well as lead troops in battle.

Marrying her to Prince Yan Lian would truly be beneath her,”

someone in the crowd explained.

This eldest princess of Nanduan Kingdom wasn’t someone just anyone could marry.

Upon hearing this, the commoners became depressed.

“That being said, it seems we don’t have anyone in Yan Country who matches up to her…”

“Haven’t you all forgotten?

There’s still…

Prince Yan Lin.”

Someone suddenly threw in this comment, and the crowd instantly fell silent, a wary look on each face.

Among the current Yan Country Imperial Family, if anyone could compare to the Crown Prince, it was only Prince Yan Lin.

However, Prince Yan Lin’s temperament was too unpredictable and inscrutable.

Six years ago, he had gone blind, and it was only after a while that news came out that his sight had recovered.

Unfortunately, the Princess Consort died in a fire in the temple during a prayer, which was accidentally started by the candles.

Because of this, Prince Yan Lin secluded himself within his residence for a year.

A year later, when the Prince Residence’s gates opened, Prince Yan Lin was like a completely changed person.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

He had become even more ruthless and unrestrained in his methods.

He had once personally executed an official who had criticized him right in the great hall; it was said that many civil servants were so frightened that they couldn’t even stand straight.

Such a Prince Yan Lin…

The eldest Princess of Nanduan marrying into such a situation would likely be a life-threatening affair.

Just as everyone was guessing, suddenly the sound of galloping hoofs came urgently.

“Make way, make way, Prince Yan Lin is here.”

Upon hearing the reminder, the citizens, as if terror-stricken by the wind, hurriedly moved aside.

Yan Lin, clad in silver-white armor with his back straight and his eyebrows and eyes sharp, had a resolute gaze and an ice-cold expression that made the lines of his face appear even more stern.

He held a long spear in one hand and the reins of his horse in the other, his presence making people tremble.

“Brother Eight, why have you come?”

Upon seeing him, Yan Lian’s expression brightened.

Over the years, Brother Eight had immersed himself in army camps day and night, never involving himself in such matters.

Therefore, they did not summon him for today’s event to welcome the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom.

To their surprise, he had come!

“Yan Country’s army has fought for four years without gaining any advantage from Nanduan Kingdom, and now we have to rely on a marriage alliance to save face.

The troops led by the Crown Prince are indeed disappointing.”

Yan Lin’s cold eyes swept over Yan Xiao as he spoke indifferently.

Yan Xiao’s smile, which had been calm moments before, vanished as he heard Yan Lin’s words, with a fierce look flashing through his eyes.

Yan Lian scratched his head in distress.

Brother Eight, even though that’s true, with so many people around, there’s no need to make things so tense.

In these four years, the troops that battled against Nanduan Kingdom were led by the Crown Prince.

Initially, it went well, but later, they mostly lost.

Moreover, the battles they lost were always led by the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom herself.

At that moment, the clear sound of bells rang from afar.

Everyone looked towards it, seeing a grand procession approaching the city gates.

The leading carriage was particularly eye-catching with its ancient totems and adorned with numerous bells.

The carriage curtains, made of light gauze, fluttered in the wind, revealing a woman sitting inside.

She leaned one hand against her cheek and reclined on the couch, her plain silk clothes clinging to her body.

Though her face was veiled and her features indistinct, her aura was so striking it seemed to overshadow the morning glow and outshine a hundred flowers.

“That must be the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom,” the citizens of Yan Country murmured, unable to sit still.

Yan Lin watched the approaching carriage; his heart felt as if it had been struck.

He felt as if something was about to happen.

“Are you princes of Yan Country?

I am Su Jingfu, the Prime Minister of Nanduan Kingdom, escorting the Princess here for the marriage alliance.”

A young man walked from the back to the front of the line, greeting the princes with respect and courtesy.

“Since you are escorting the Princess for a marriage alliance, shouldn’t she step out of the carriage?”

Prince Yan Jin rubbed his hands and stretched his neck to peer into the carriage.

From his experiences with women, he was convinced that there must be a stunning beauty sitting inside.

He couldn’t believe that this tigress from Nanduan Kingdom, skilled in riding and archery, could be such a beauty.

If the Crown Prince does not wish to marry her, he would not mind adding another decorative vase to the Prince Residence.

Yan Jin practically had the words “lecherous” written all over his face.

Su Jingfu’s face darkened upon hearing this.

Their highly respected Princess, how could she be treated with such disrespect?

“Yan Country does not need a marriage alliance, everyone please return the way you came.

We will discuss the war matters later,” said Yan Lin, his gaze moving past Su Jingfu to fix on the silhouette behind the gauze, his voice cold.

“This must be Prince Yan Lin.

I know you are brave and skilled in battle, but wars cause devastation and suffering to the common people.

If Prince Yan Lin doesn’t like me, why should others have to suffer?”

A crisp voice came from inside the carriage.

This voice made Yan Lin’s pupils shrink violently and he felt somewhat dazed.

Following this, Ziyi and Ziwu both changed expression drastically.

The voice of the Princess of the Nanduan Kingdom sounded eerily familiar, almost like that of the Princess Consort.
