Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 684 - 685: She Isn’t Beautiful, But She’s Very Charming
Chapter 684: Chapter 685: She Isn’t Beautiful, But She’s Very Charming
They were subject to the laughter and ridicule of the passing common people, merchants, and soldiers.
Under this humiliation, any person with a bit of backbone would probably choose to end their life indignantly.
However, was Prince Xinhai someone with backbone?
Obviously not.
He wasn’t indignant because he was beaten and ridiculed; he didn’t even have the thought of hiding underground and never showing his face again.
The reason he couldn’t sleep was that he was thinking about how to get revenge and how to possess the extremely beautiful Princess Consort Jiang Ning.
That’s right, even in this situation, he still wanted to possess Jiang Ning.
This color-obsessed Prince was destined to be a lost soul under the multitude of beauties.
After a whole night of agonizing thoughts, Prince Xinhai got up hurriedly at daybreak and changed his clothes. He also beat an over-slow maidservant.
After venting his anger, he left his room feeling refreshed and headed towards his sister’s residence in the side hall.
After several days of recuperation and the delicious meals sent by Princess Consort Jiang Ning from time to time, Princess Zhenming’s health had improved significantly.
Today was New Year’s Eve, and a grand banquet was to be held in the Imperial Palace.
Apart from their Silla delegation, more than a dozen small countries had sent envoys to attend the banquet and pay tribute.
However, the envoys sent by other small nations were mostly kings and ministers, far less important than those sent by the Silla Kingdom, and hence the royal family paid more attention to them.
An entire set of clothes and jewelry was sent early by the royal family, all made according to the highest standards of Silla craftsmanship.
Although Princess Zhenming was royalty, the resources and power of the Silla Kingdom were not comparable to Great Sheng, and they did not possess such exquisite silk and embroidery skills.
Princess Zhenming put on the clothes sent by the royal family, and the peacock pattern on her skirt shimmered subtly in gold and silver threads.
Her maidservants applied makeup for her, giving her a fair complexion, crimson lips, and beneath her delicate eyebrows lay a clear and deep pool of green.
With her slightly plain appearance, Princess Zhenming possessed a rare and exceptional figure.
After having her makeup done, those plain features were thoroughly concealed.
As she stood there gracefully, Princess Zhenming was without a doubt as bewitching as any beauty in the world.
Prince Xinhai approached and pinched her chin, placing a kiss on her lips.
The surrounding maidservants only lowered their heads in silence, not daring to look up, but there was no hint of shock or surprise in their reactions.
It seemed as if this kind of thing had long become a common sight for them.
Although Princess Zhenming and Prince Xinhai were not born of the same mother, they did share the same father.
No matter how you looked at it, such a thing should never have been commonplace.
Prince Xinhai licked his lips, savoring the rouge residues, and said contentedly, “My sister’s beauty has been fully restored. I wonder how many men will be infatuated by her at the palace banquet tonight.”
Some women may not have striking features, but they can still captivate men.
They possess an aura that bewitches the opposite sex.
Princess Zhenming was one such woman.
Then there are those women who are incredibly beautiful but don’t seem like the type that can be toyed with. Princess Consort Jiang Ning probably fell into this category.
And there is another kind of beauty who is both stunning and capable of enchanting the entire world.
On this journey to Great Sheng, Prince Xinhai had brought such a woman with him.
The woman’s name was Jin Man.
Of course, it was not yet the time for Jin Man, the captivating beauty, to appear. But when she did make her entrance, she would surely astonish everyone present.
