Xi Meng sighed in her heart, no wonder she said she had no face, if she saw her face at night, she would definitely have a heart attack.
Looking back on last night, it was fortunate that she covered her face with a veil, otherwise Sima Luo City would have been frightened to death by her last night.
I was originally happy for Sima Luocheng, thinking that he would get both his wife and soldiers during his trip to the state.
I don’t want to, but my joy is in vain.
Right now, they just want Bailirong to sign the alliance smoothly so that they can leave.
But looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, Shi Meng suddenly felt sympathy for them. Throughout the ages, the most important thing for a woman is her appearance.
Needless to say, Baili Bing's talent and family background are of the highest quality.
But one day she will inherit the throne and become the king of the Shang Kingdom. How can she go to court and face the officials with her current appearance? She can't wear a veil every day, right?
Shi Meng couldn't help but be surprised. Although Bai Lirong was a mature woman, she still had charm. How could her daughter be so ugly?
At this moment, in Lingyan Pavilion, except for the sound of everyone's breathing, it was quiet and a little cautious.
Finally, Baili Rong broke the silence.
"Bing'er, there's no need to hide things from Luo Cheng now. He is your future husband after all, and some things have to be faced after all!" There was helplessness in her words, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more obvious when she sighed.
Baili Bing's eyebrows narrowed, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "Bing'er is not blessed enough, so I don't dare to dream! I also ask my mother not to embarrass the young master with this matter. He still has important things to do, and it is inconvenient to stay in Shang Kingdom for a long time.
"
After Xi Meng heard what she said, he sympathized with her even more.
But Sima Luocheng kept his head lowered and remained silent. Bailirong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he shouted: "Bing'er! Don't look down on yourself like this in front of your mother! You are the future monarch of our Shang Kingdom.
, how can you be a person who is unlucky? Your mother has ordered the high priest to search for good medicine, which will definitely heal your face and restore your stunning appearance! Furthermore, Luocheng is the noble son of the Yun Kingdom, how can you be like that?
A frivolous person who only cares about appearance?"
Her words sounded like she was blaming her daughter for being ignorant, but in fact, every word of her words was meant for Sima Luocheng.
If he refuses the engagement due to this matter, Baili Rong will definitely not form an alliance with him, and then it will be impossible for him to return to his country and restore his throne.
But it does take a lot of courage for him to face it calmly.
When Xi Meng was embarrassing him, she saw him slowly raising his head, his eyes sweeping over Bailirong in front of him, and finally landing on Princess Bing's face. His tone was calm and indifferent, "It's true what your Majesty said! The appearance of human skin is
No matter how beautiful she is, she will grow old in just a few years. Luocheng believes that although the princess's appearance is damaged, she is extremely talented and kind-hearted, which is rare in the world. If Luocheng can get the princess as his wife, it will be a blessing for three lifetimes.
Fortunately! Princess, please don’t take yourself lightly!”
Baili Bing didn't seem to believe what he said. She took two slow steps and was in front of him. She raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, trying to find some flaws.
Unexpectedly, Sima Luocheng stared into her eyes from beginning to end. His eyes were as deep as cold pools and were filled with tenderness. Even Simeng and Mu Zili beside them felt blushing when they looked at them. Not to mention they had never experienced this before.
The ice princess who has lived a relationship between man and woman.
In just a moment, her eyes were filled with mist, but the colorful lines on her cheeks were too eye-catching. As her breath flowed rapidly, the colors began to become darker and darker.
"Young Master's words come from the sincerity? You are not lying to Bing'er, are you? Since Bing'er was injured at the age of fourteen, except for her mother, no one has praised Bing'er as much as the young master! Bing'er once thought that she would die alone in this life. But
After listening to the young master's words today, I felt a little bit of confidence in the illusory elixir mentioned by the high priest." Baili Bing stared at him motionless, not wanting to let go of any of his subtle expressions, for fear that he was just trying to make her happy.
.
Sima Luocheng nodded slightly, with a determined look in his eyes, "What a man says, there is absolutely no lie! Today, I will ask your Majesty and two of Luocheng's best friends to testify. Luocheng swears to the heavenly alliance that one day he will ascend to the throne of the monarch of the Yun Kingdom.
I will marry the princess into the palace as my queen with the national gift! If I violate this oath, I am willing to do this."
Xi Meng only heard a crisp "click" sound, and the chopsticks in Sima Luocheng's hand instantly broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
"Okay! I have remembered what the young master said! Bing'er will surely keep it in mind, and in the Showa Palace, I look forward to the young master's coming to the throne soon!" Bai Lirong clapped her hands gently, and finally a smile appeared on her face,
"Young Master, don't worry. I will order the high priest to find the elixir as soon as possible to restore Bing'er's appearance! I also ask you to remember the promise you made to me last night. If you have no objections, I will sign an agreement with you immediately."
, Let’s work together for a great cause! How about that?”
A dark light flashed in Sima Luocheng's eyes, but when he looked at their mother and daughter, he was calm as usual, "The matter of the alliance letter is entirely up to you! Luocheng has no objection! I just want to ask more about the look on the princess's face.
The injury is..."
He hesitated slightly, and Bai Lirong's expression also froze. She glanced at Baili Bing, but she had a smile on her lips and didn't seem to care.
"Mother, snakes have been banned in the country for five years. I'm afraid Bing'er's matter is no longer a secret. Now the young master is not an outsider, so there is no harm in talking about it."
Avoid snakes? When Simeng heard these two words, she suddenly became curious and subconsciously touched the spiritual song hidden at her waist.
When Bai Lirong frowned and talked about the old incident five years ago, she finally understood why the shopkeeper of Nichang Pavilion insisted on reporting to the official that day.
It turns out that the Ice Princess was originally a top-notch beauty, but she was already outstandingly beautiful before she even had hairpins.
Since Bai Lirong only had one daughter, she had high hopes for her, hoping that she could lead the Shang Kingdom back to its former hegemony after inheriting the throne.
Therefore, he had strict requirements on her since he was a child, learning how to govern the country from her, and often going deep into the people to understand the people's sentiments.
During the summer solstice five years ago, Huzhou suffered a flood that had never happened in a century. Tens of thousands of people were displaced and epidemics occurred frequently. Baili Bing went to Huzhou to direct the disaster relief work at the order of her mother-in-law. With her reasonable guidance and deployment, the disaster was quickly resolved.
Effective control was carried out and the victims were properly resettled.
Unfortunately, she was bitten by a venomous snake on her way back to Beijing. Most of the venom in her body was promptly sucked out by the doctor accompanying her. Then she found herbal medicine in the nearby mountains for treatment, and the foot injury healed. But after she returned to the palace, she was originally fair-skinned.
Strangely colored lines began to appear on his flawless cheeks.
The imperial doctors in the palace were all at a loss as to why.
Baili Bing's temperament changed drastically due to his disfigurement, and he locked himself in the palace day and night, with no water or food to enter.
Baili Rong ordered people to search for famous doctors, but no one could solve it.
Then she got angry and ordered people to kill all the snakes in the country, no matter whether they were venomous or not. She even set up special snake-catching teams in various government offices, and the people of the country were all afraid of snakes.
After that, Bai Lirong heard that in the snowy area of the extremely cold land of Qi, there was an outsider who had practiced spiritual practice for many years, and he might be able to cure the princess' strange poison.
So Bai Lirong went to the Snowy Land in person and invited this master to the Showa Palace.
But when he checked the princess's pulse, he only sighed slightly and shook his head, saying that the princess's poison was connected to the qi and blood, and could not be cured by human medicine. He had to find immortal grass and make an elixir to cure it.
For this only glimmer of hope, Bai Lirong left this master in the Shang Kingdom and made him a high priest. She also sent people to build a mansion for him at the foot of Duanyin Mountain in the northern suburbs of Bingzhou, and selected people from the palace.
Several smart servants attend to his daily life.
She just hoped that he would refine a panacea for her Bing'er as soon as possible.
