Quickly throw this woman out of here!" When the ruler had spoken, no one dared to argue with him.
"And also take your daughters with you, throw them to the Border. Never let them return to the capital!"
Lian Hua stared at the red-robed man before her in disbelief. What was going on? How could this have happened? She had woken up this morning as a princess.
Life truly is a mystery. No one knows what the future holds, even if you're a princess.
...
Three days ago.
....
"What is this? You're telling me to wear these ugly clothes?" The princess's long, slender fingers touched the clothes her maid had brought her, her brow furrowed, her face flushed, a sign that she was angry. "Didn't I tell you to make clothes from the finest silk? Don't you know what's good and what's not?! If my skin itches after wearing the clothes you brought me, I'll cut off your head in front of everyone!"
The servant paled, she immediately prostrated herself begging for forgiveness from their princess. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. This is truly the best silk I can find. Please don't punish me." The woman repeatedly pleaded while crying, the princess looked at her servant with disgust. "Get out of here, your tears and sweat are so disgusting!"
She moved her hand, ordering another servant to lift the maid. "Give her twenty lashes. Don't give her any food until tomorrow morning!"
The servant was terrified, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Have mercy on me!" The servant's voice grew fainter and faded away as her thin body was pulled away from the princess's residence.
Princess Lian Hua was the princess of the Yishu Kingdom, a kingdom renowned for its exquisite arts. Many musicians, dancers, and painters were born in the Yishu Kingdom. Besides its arts, the Yishu Kingdom was also renowned for its location surrounding a lake in the middle of a mountain valley.
Not only that, the Yishu Kingdom is also famous for its princess, Lian Hua. Born the only daughter of seven siblings, Princess Lian Hua grew up with abundant love. Her mother, the queen, who doted on her, her father, the king who indulged her every whim, her brothers, and the princes who gave her everything she wanted and defended her in everything she did. This made her the luckiest and most arrogant woman in the entire kingdom.
Who is the luckiest girl in the entire kingdom? Then the answer is Princess Lian Hua. Who wouldn't hesitate to punish a servant for a small mistake? The answer is Princess Lian Hua. Who is the most powerful woman in the entire kingdom? Then the answer is also Princess Lian Hua.
She was famous for her spoiled nature, as well as her cruelty, and many people envied her.
"Where did she put her brain? She made me wear this dress?" Princess Lian Hua snorted, she waved her hand. "Throw this dress away. No, burn it!" She ordered her other servants to throw the clothes away. She was still standing in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful face. There was a small red spot on her clean face, Lian Hua screamed. "What is this? Why is there a pimple on my face?!" The princess became even angrier, the wrinkles on her forehead deepened.
The servants felt this was the worst way to start the day. If the princess was in a bad mood from the start, she would make all the servants feel her annoyance by the end of the night. Lady Chang stepped forward as a hero. "Your Highness, don't let a trivial matter ruin your day. Prince Wang Zifei has arrived in the capital today."
Hearing Prince Wang Zifei's name, the princess's frown lessened. Although she was still annoyed by the pimples on her face, she was still very happy to remember the prince's arrival in their kingdom. "Lady Chang is right. Bring me the best clothes and accessories I have! Today I must look beautiful to welcome Prince Wang Zifei!"
The other servants felt a sense of relief. Their tantrum-prone and disruptive princess had calmed down. Quickly and meticulously, the servants began preparing everything the princess needed, as today was the day Princess Lian Hua had been waiting for.
Prince Wang Zifei is the prince of the Zhanshi Kingdom, a kingdom famous for its powerful warriors from the three kingdoms.
The Yishu, Zhanshi, and Xuanzhe kingdoms were originally one kingdom called the Huang Kingdom. Due to conflict and war, the Huang Kingdom split into three. The collapse of the Huang Kingdom had a profound impact on the people. Famine, disease, and poverty were widespread. After a prolonged crisis, the three kingdoms finally decided to reconcile.
Of the three kingdoms, Yishu's defenses were the weakest, and the king eventually sought protection from the northern Zhanshi Kingdom. Proof of this alliance was King Lian's offer of his only daughter in marriage to the second prince of Zhanshi Kingdom, a marriage that involved Lian Hua and Prince Wang Zifei.
The engagement had taken place five years ago, but the wedding had yet to take place, as Prince Wang Zifei was away fighting to repel the Barbarians on the Frontier. After five years of waiting, the couple finally reunited.
Judging by Princess Lian Hua's personality, no one would have thought that she had fallen for him since their first sight five years ago. To Princess Lian Hua, Prince Wang Zifei was like the most expensive jade she had ever worn, the softest silk she had ever worn, and the most delicious food she had ever eaten. Essentially, she had fallen in love at first sight.
For five years, Princess Lian Hua had been thinking about her prince nonstop, waiting for the day they would finally meet. She longed to hold her (future) husband's hand, holding him tightly so he wouldn't leave her. She would inhale his scent as much as possible, calling out to him every now and then, gazing at his handsome face.
Princess Lian Hua couldn't stop smiling as the maids applied her makeup. She would be the most beautiful girl in the country, no, she would be the most beautiful girl in the three kingdoms! She would be so beautiful that no matter how many beauties Prince Wang Zifei had seen during his time on duty, he would no longer think about those cheap women, because Lian Hua would catch his eye when he met her again after so long.
"Your Highness, it's done." Lian Hua looked at her reflection in the mirror. The pimples she had gotten this morning were now less obvious, so she was pleased. Her clothes looked luxurious and felt soft. The accessories she wore were also very pretty, and her hair was also styled beautifully. Now, not only was Prince Wang Zifei unable to take his eyes off her, but the entire country was.
Who is the luckiest woman in the entire kingdom if not Princess Lian Hua? Doted and pampered by her father and mother, the king and queen, and protected by her older brothers. Furthermore, she is betrothed to Prince Wang Zifei, also known as the White Horse.
