Chapter 100 Arrival
At this time in Cangzhou, the three princesses brought a huge marriage team. This team was composed of hundreds of elite guards and servants. They came from various martial arts sects all over the place, and the strength of each of them should not be underestimated.
There were also various rare animals and luxurious dowries in the team, demonstrating the dignity and majesty of the royal family.
During the long journey, the team experienced countless hardships and obstacles and finally arrived at their destination - Cangling City.
Located in the heart of Cangzhou, this city is a prosperous city full of vitality and vigor.
When the team arrived outside Cangling City, the prefect Li Shanchang, who had already received the news, was already leading all the officials of Cangling City to wait at the city gate.
He was a man in his forties, with an amiable face and eyes that showed shrewdness and wisdom.
He was wearing gorgeous official uniform and a jewel-inlaid sword on his waist, looking majestic.
"Welcome everyone to Cangling City!"
Li Shanchang came forward with a smile and extended the warmest welcome to the three princesses. "It is a great honor for Cangzhou that the three princesses have come to Cangzhou."
The three princesses stepped down from the carriage surrounded by their attendants. They had smiles on their faces and looked dignified and elegant.
"You are too kind, Lord Governor. We are only here to propose marriage according to orders. I hope you will take good care of us."
The fourth princess Si Luoshi bowed lightly and said to Li Shanchang with a gentle smile on her face.
"The marriage is a major event for the royal family and a great joy for Cangzhou."
"Your Highnesses, please rest assured. I will do my best to ensure that the three princesses are safe and sound during this period."
Li Shanchang nodded to show his understanding.
As he spoke, Li Shanchang personally led the three princesses into Cangling City.
The prosperous scene of the city is eye-catching.
There are shops on both sides of the street, selling a wide variety of goods.
There was an endless stream of pedestrians, merchants of all skin colors, including those from other ethnic groups on the grassland, coming and going, creating a prosperous scene.
"As expected of the city closest to the grassland in Cangzhou, Cangling City is indeed worthy of its reputation."
"The prosperity here is far beyond our imagination."
Si Luoshi sighed as he looked at the foreign merchants coming and going.
"You three princesses may not know that our city's prosperity is due to its location in the center of Cangzhou, with convenient transportation and developed commerce."
"In addition, our city is also the meeting point of all the major sects in the martial arts world, so it gathers talents and resources from all sides."
Li Shanchang smiled slightly and spoke.
Under the leadership of Li Shanchang, the marriage team successfully arrived at the mansion in Cangling City that had been prepared for the three princesses.
This is a magnificent building with two huge stone lions in front of the door, demonstrating power and status.
The inner courtyard of the mansion is deep, with rockery, ponds, and pavilions, making it like a paradise on earth.
"This mansion is one of the most luxurious buildings in this city."
Li Shanchang introduced, "In order to ensure the safety and comfort of the three princesses, I have specially arranged this place as your residence."
The second princess Si Luoying, who was in the lead, nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Governor, for making such thoughtful arrangements."
"The three princesses are distinguished guests. I should do my best to entertain them."
"If you need anything else, please let me know."
Li Shanchang waved his hand and smiled.
Li Shanchang would naturally not neglect the three princesses who might become the mistresses of the entire Cangzhou and even Yunzhou in the future.
And even if these three princesses were not here for marriage, they could still be successful simply by virtue of their status as princesses of Daqian.
Li Shanchang would also treat them well.
After all, the two states of Cang and Yun are nominally under the name of the Daqian Dynasty.
As a saint-level politician, Li Shanchang would naturally not cause trouble for his lord in such subtle matters.
Even if I want to cause trouble, it's not in this area.
For someone like Li Shanchang, this is a difficult matter.
Too low-end!
However, Li Shanchang soon told the three princesses a surprising news: their marriage partner was Su Ye.
Qizhou, who is currently leading his troops to conquer the Dayong Dynasty, may not be able to return to Cangling City in a short period of time.
Upon hearing the news, the three princesses looked at each other in surprise. "Prince Su Ye led the army to attack Qizhou? What's going on? We don't know anything about this."
The second princess Si Luoying was the first to speak.
Su Ye's expedition to Qizhou took place after the marriage teams of the three princesses set out.
Therefore, the three princesses who were on their way to Cangzhou were unaware of this.
"This incident happened a month ago, and there was chaos within the Great Yong Dynasty."
"Qizhou, which is adjacent to Cangzhou, has also experienced instability. Therefore, Your Highness is leading the troops to Qizhou."
"Due to the fierce fighting, he has not been able to return to Cangling City."
Li Shanchang patiently explained to the three princesses.
"So, how do we resolve the matter of our marriage?"
"Prince Su Ye is the husband we are going to marry. He is not in Cang Ling City. What should we do?"
Hearing this, the Sixth Princess Si Luoqing frowned and asked.
"Please rest assured, the three princesses. Although His Royal Highness is not in the city for the time being, marriage is a matter of the royal family and will be arranged by God."
"I believe that His Highness will return triumphantly soon and marry you."
Li Shanchang smiled and comforted.
He paused for a moment and continued, "During this period, the three princesses may wish to tour Cangling City and learn about the scenery and culture of the city. At the same time, our city will fully cooperate with the needs of the three princesses and ensure that you are safe during this period."
After learning that Su Ye was ordered to conquer Qizhou and could not get married for the time being, the three princesses reacted differently.
The Fourth Princess Si Luoshi was silent for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"The matter of war is no small matter."
"I guess Prince Su Ye is also helpless."
She smiled gently and said lightly.
"It's one thing to be forced to do something, but we can't keep delaying our marriage."
"This time, our Daqian royal family's marriage is a political marriage. If the marriage cannot be completed, it may cause unnecessary suspicion and disturbance."
The second princess Si Luoying, who was a military commander, seemed a little anxious.
Can these three of them stabilize Cang and Yun states this time?
Regarding the current situation of Daqian.
Important!
"Although Prince Su Ye cannot come back for the time being, we don't have to worry too much."
"After all, marriage is a lifelong event and requires careful consideration."
"During this time, we can learn more about Cangling City and communicate more with the people of our future husband so that we can get to know each other better."
The Sixth Princess Si Luoqing is a person of the world after all, so she is relatively optimistic.
Li Shanchang watched the reactions of the three princesses with a smile, and gained a deeper understanding of their characters and wisdom.
"Now that we have come to Cangling City, we might as well enjoy the scenery and culture here."
"As for marriage, let everything take its course."
The Second Princess Si Luoshi smiled slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
Si Luoqing nodded: "Fourth sister is right, let everything take its course."
Si Luoying laughed heartily: "Okay! In that case, let's have a good time in Cangling City and wait for the return of this Prince Su Ye."
After hearing Li Shanchang's explanation and comfort, the three princesses' faces relaxed a little.
They knew that they were already in Cang Ling City and could only go with the flow.
