The useless princess is causing trouble again

Chapter 12: Throwing a Ball to Choose a Husband

Nanyu City, the poorest city on the border of Tianlan Country, is located in the remote southernmost area. In summer and autumn, the land is dry, there is a shortage of water and food, and the people in the city are miserable.

Led by the two great families, the Mo and Chen, they monopolized more than half of the economy in the city. They had private dealings with local officials and had been rampant and robbing women all year round. The poor people had no crops to harvest and were oppressed by bullies and officials. They had no food or clothes to eat and could only beg on the streets. As the emperor was far away and the government was out of control, bandits were rampant in the surrounding mountains and forests. They often robbed wealthy merchants passing by, and no one who resisted survived.

In a well-decorated large mansion in the northern part of the city, Shangguan Wei and her group were teleported to the rockery in the backyard garden. Confused, Shangguan Wei shook her confused head and fell into Situ Chong's arms with a weak look. Situ Chong had strong internal strength and was not greatly affected. He opened his arms and tightly supported Shangguan Wei, who was about to fall.

Because the distance of transmission was too far, the internal reversal phenomenon occurred. Everyone's clothes were messy and wrinkled, and they appeared with fluffy chicken coop hair. Heibao's huge pig body was lying in front of everyone, and he had fainted. The six guards were surprised at first, then they lowered their heads and gritted their teeth to suppress their laughter, folded their hands and said respectfully, "This is Nanyu City on the border of Tianlan Country. Your subordinates welcome the arrival of the young lady and the son-in-law."

Shangguan Wei was stunned when she heard this. Her confused mind suddenly cleared up and she stood up straight and asked, "What? This is a border city. Where is it located in Tianlan Country? Is it far from the capital?"

Situ Chong lowered his head with a doting look, stroked Shangguan Wei's head with his left hand, and said with a smile, "Madam, Nanyu is located in the southernmost part of Tianlan Country. It takes more than 20 days to walk from here to the capital. There are still more than two months to my father's birthday. We can stay here for a few days before leaving."

Shangguan Wei smiled with her eyes curved, "A Chong is right, we might as well make the best of it now that we are here. We should treat it as a honeymoon and get to know A Chong's country well. Tianlan is also my home now." Just as she finished speaking, her stomach growled and she immediately lowered her head with a blushing face.

Situ Chong didn't understand Shangguan Wei's literal meaning, but the word "newly married" must be a good thing, so he smiled and said, "As long as my wife likes it, I'm just an idle prince. I can accompany my wife to travel around. The food in Tianxianglou in Nanyu City is pretty good, so why not go and taste it."

Shangguan Wei chuckled and said yes, then turned around and waved her hand to signal the disciples to leave. Then she looked at the ghosts and monsters and said, "The four of you stay here to pack up and settle Doubao. I will take Taozi out, and you are not allowed to disobey my orders." She took Situ Chong's handsome and slender left hand and strode forward.

Taozi chased after him, "My lady! Let me help you clean up your appearance. We can't go out like this and let others laugh at us."

"Don't worry, Xiao Taozi. Just help me tidy it up in the carriage later."

The demons looked at the figure walking away, and with a wave of his left hand, they dispersed and moved the fat pig on the ground. The disciples who were training also left with the leader of the group. Ze Yi and Ze Er stood there, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

Ze Er: Ayi, are you coming or not? Woohoo! We are so unlucky, the master forgot to take us with him.

Zeyi: I don’t know whether I should follow or not. My master hasn’t given the order.

Finally, Ze Yi gritted his teeth and took a step forward, waved to Ze Er to follow, and then hurriedly chased in the direction where Situ Chong left.

……

The prosperous area of ​​the city was bustling with people. The five-story Tianxiang Building with golden edges stood in the center of the street. The yellow and black facade was very eye-catching. At this time, there was a crowd of people standing in front of the gate. Unmarried young talents stood around the stage, waiting for Miss Chen, the daughter of a noble family upstairs, to throw her a bouquet, hoping that a wild chicken would turn into a phoenix.

A bright red ribbon was hung on the second floor window above the main entrance. Miss Chen was holding a bright red hydrangea, standing in front of the window, looking down at the young talents downstairs. Two-thirds of them were ugly and misshapen. She complained, "My beauty deserves to be matched with the most handsome man in the world. How can these inferior guys be worthy of me? It would be better for them to learn from my sister and enter the palace to become a concubine and enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Chen family, who was sitting in the main seat, put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and said, "Min'er, don't talk nonsense. It's all your fault that your father spoiled you too much, which made you willful and unruly, and you did things recklessly without thinking. You are over sixteen and still no good family came to propose marriage. There are many young men present today. Even if you are reluctant, you must choose one on the spot. In short, don't lose face for the Chen family."

Chen Min bit her lower lip, stamped her feet a few times in dissatisfaction, turned around and said coquettishly, "Father is making things difficult for his daughter. There are all these monsters and demons down there that are extremely ugly. She has to face them day and night, and cry all day long. Father has the heart to let his daughter die of depression."

Chen Da Dangjia stood up and strode to the window. He lowered his head and looked out of the window. After a while, he said, "Min'er, the young men below are not all unattractive. The young man in white is handsome and elegant, and he is a perfect match for Min'er."

Chen Min turned around and looked out the window, and was attracted by the young man in white who was walking slowly. The man was tall and graceful, with white clothes as white as snow, and his long black hair was simply tied up. He walked lightly, and his demeanor was particularly elegant and refreshing. He had three-dimensional facial features with clear contours, blue eyes like the bright moon, a high and straight nose, and a shallow dimple when he smiled, like an immortal who was banished from heaven without being stained by dust.

Her eyes were full of the figure of the young man in white, and she completely ignored the beautiful girl in yellow beside him. She held the bright red hydrangea in both hands and said shyly, "Father, my daughter likes the young man in white, and she wants him to be her husband."
