After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 1175: Extra 8: Little Princess

Nanliang incited chaos at the border, intending to annex Daqi.In this battle, Nanliang was utterly defeated and gave Zhao Xu the opportunity to ruin the ancestral foundations.

The peace treaty signed by Nanliang and Daqi, even after Zhao Xu ascended the throne and changed the dynasty, must still be honored.

However, the compensation Nanliang signed for is just too much, and for Nanlin, which has suffered greatly from the war and is struggling to rebuild, repaying this debt is quite a pressure.

Fortunately, Su Jin opened the Beauty Pavilion in Nanliang to sell soap and Rouge’s cosmetics, as well as the Conscience Ice Shop. Three-tenths of the profits go to Zhao Xu, slightly alleviating his pressure.

Marquis Dongxiang pointed at the compensation from Nanlin to redeem Young Master Su’s marriage arranged in Beimo.

The idea is simple, but implementing it is fraught with difficulties.

Firstly, the Emperor had no intention of letting Marquis Dongxiang redeem the marriage.

The family is marrying a princess to his son, not sending his son to Beimo as a Prince Consort, so why would he disagree?

Who cares whose daughter one marries?

He won’t doubt the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion’s loyalty to Daqi just because Young Master Su marries the Princess Beimo.

If he suspects anyone, it certainly won’t be Marquis Dongxiang.

Secondly, King Beimo refuses to call off the marriage.

Princess Jing Mountain married Zhao Xu and gave birth to a son in the first year. The child was established as the Crown Prince on his full moon day, showing Zhao Xu’s affection for Princess Jing Mountain.

Zhao Xu treasures Princess Jing Mountain and naturally shows great respect to King Beimo, his father-in-law.

A son-in-law dares not defy his father-in-law’s orders?

The compensation to Daqi cannot be less, but the grain and silver absolutely cannot be shipped together.

One of them must be replaced with antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.

Yet King Beimo insists on both items to call off the marriage.

Thus, two years passed in vain, and the marriage was not annulled.

Initially, Marquis Dongxiang refused to cross the river, but King Beimo lured him with grain and gold. Now that Marquis Dongxiang wants to burn the bridge, King Beimo certainly won’t agree.

Is his daughter unworthy of Marquis Dongxiang’s son?

Indeed.

On the Emperor’s fortieth birthday, Prince Beimo came to deliver gifts and brought Princess Beimo along.

Let Marquis Dongxiang meet the future daughter-in-law early, and dispel any thoughts of calling off the wedding.

The Princess Beimo, cherished by King Beimo, is so confident that once Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang see her, they would want to marry her into their mansion soon.

Prince Beimo came to Daqi, bearing gifts and responsibilities of dispelling the idea of retracting the marriage.

They arrived in the Capital City before the Emperor’s birthday.

Xie Jingchen was responsible for welcoming them and arranged accommodations in the palace.

Princess Beimo’s first experience of leaving the palace was coming to Daqi, curious to see and explore all the new things on the journey.

Prince Beimo coaxed her, saying he would take her shopping once they reached Daqi Capital.

It’s the most flourishing place in Daqi, offering everything one can imagine.

Now in Daqi, Princess Beimo insisted that her Imperial Brother keep his promise to take her out to play.

After trekking for days, Prince Beimo wished to relax, so he took his little Imperial Sister out.

After walking halfway down the street, they bumped into Prince NanAn and his group.

Prince NanAn invited Prince Beimo to drink at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Prince Beimo and Prince NanAn called each other brother, enjoying each other’s company, naturally agreeing.

However, Princess Beimo was not happy; she hadn’t filled her visit yet.

So Prince Beimo let the guard accompany the little princess shopping.

This was Daqi Capital, with good law and order aided by guards to ensure no trouble would occur.

Yet trouble happened nonetheless.

Young Master Su was nine, while the little princess was not yet seven.

Both were at the playful age, and met at the street head, walking toward each other, confronting at a narrow path.

The little princess, though very pretty, was at the age of losing teeth, shedding two front teeth on her way to Daqi, making her speech winded.

Normally a sweet smile, her toothless grin diminished its prettiness.

Both arrived at a small stall selling sugar figures, vying for the last figure.

Princess Beimo said, "I came first!"

"I called for it first," Young Master Su retorted.

The little princess glared at him.

Young Master Su frowned, saying, "Your teeth are falling out, yet you eat sweets."

For the toothless little princess, nothing more pressing than the word tooth.

Young Master Su touched her sore spot with one sentence.

Princess Beimo felt furious.

Especially when Young Master Su reached for the sugar figure, but she grabbed it before him.

Anyway, this sugar figure was hers!

No one could snatch it!

Young Master Su frowned heavily.

Arguing over a sugar figure with a small girl was quite embarrassing for him.

"Alright, if you want it, you can have it," Young Master Su relaxed his grip.
