Abandoned Princesses
Qiao Lan's Wedding

Ning He perused the paper containing the contractual agreement of the business in his hands. As Qiao Rong had said the day after tomorrow, Chu Yue had come early in the morning to deliver some burly men and some samples and promised products.

The seller must not disclose the identity of the product supplier.

The specified price is three silver coins and may change as the seller wishes.

Fifty percent share of profits from each party.

After finishing reading to the end, Ning He felt quite satisfied. What a lucrative deal. Without thinking twice, he immediately put his shop stamp on the paper and handed the paper back to Chu Yue. After receiving it, Chu Yue left.

Inside the room, Qiao Rong smiled as he looked at the contract agreement paper. He stayed to monitor the business while waiting for the arrival of the wedding of his beloved sister.

Within a month, the wives of officials, even all the women in the Capital and outside the city all flocked to Ning He's cosmetics store every day.

Faced with such a long queue, at first the girl was a bit overwhelmed, but for a long time she was used to it.

Ning He was initially at a loss for how to attract the attention of customers to dare to try the mask. Fortunately as he was about to start the promotion, one of the official wives who was quite well known in the community was very curious to try the mask. As soon as he saw the results on his face, the official's wife and the other women around him immediately bought in large quantities.

This month, many people have asked who supplies the product to the store. But as per the agreement, Ning He did not divulge the pseudonym Qiao Rong he knew at all.

Therefore, Qiao Rong was very happy and ended up giving Ning He the recipe so that he could produce more. He trusted the girl enough because he had passed several tests that he ran.

For example, Qiao Rong's man offered him one gold coin to reveal who the rong mask supplier was. But the girl still did not dare to say it, even rejecting it outright. Qiao Ring was very satisfied with the performance of the girl.

Over time, the starting price of the three silver coins continued to rise due to the large number of buyers. Now, the price of the rong mask had already reached ten silver coins, so that only the wives of officials and nobles could afford it. But the sale of masks was still not reduced at all.

It didn't feel like a month had passed so quickly, suddenly tomorrow the wedding was coming. Qiao Rong had already prepared everything neatly. She is also preparing the most beautiful dress for tomorrow. It was only to see if Su Xiao's gaze was still on her at the wedding later.

If it is true, then it is unfortunate that Princess Lan's fate.

But the day after tomorrow was the day that Qiao Rong would drop a huge bomb. Of course to the Emperor as well. He could only wait for everyone to wait patiently for him, especially Prince Qin.

"Your Majesty, one of the men in black who came showed me Prince Qin's token. He told me to tell you everything was ready." Chu Yue looked confused. He had absolutely no idea of Qiao Rong's current plans. What does it mean to be ready?

"Haha. You too, just wait for Chu Yue, there will be a very good show the day after tomorrow." Qiao Rong chuckled softly and continued her beauty treatment for tomorrow. The servants began to dye his nails, even they prepared a flower bath for him.

To be honest, Qiao Rong felt somewhat uneasy. But of course this included the preparation part that he had been waiting for so long.

Qiao Rong had already prepared this since he first thought of a way of revenge when he first crossed time. It had been five months since he had thought of this way, and the time had finally come.

Fireworks were lit, boisterous sounds were heard of the laughter of officials enjoying the Emperor's banquet. The emperor himself also seemed happy to sit on the throne while waiting for the bride to come.

Su Xiao waited for Qiao Lan nervously in the palace hall. Now he is wearing all red clothes, clothes for the wedding bride.

From the direction of the hall door, Qiao Rong finally showed his presence to all the officials who were naturally stunned upon seeing him.

Her appearance was already very different from five months ago, her birthmark was gone, her body was fuller, and her face looked even more radiant.

Head Eunuch Qi praised Qiao Rong's beauty in front of the Emperor. Hearing and seeing the response of the officials, the Emperor simply laughed. Later, he had to find a man who was more than the second son of a general. Knowing the girl's strength and beauty, even the Emperor had intended to marry her to a neighboring kingdom for a political marriage.

Qiao Rong slowly sat down to the seat that was already provided. From the moment he came until he sat down quietly, there was a pair of eyes that never took his eyes off his body.

Of course Princess Lan was also aware of her future husband's views. He became upset.

"First honor to heaven and earth. Asking for sky protection."

As soon as the sound was heard, the wedding procession began. Su Xiao and Qiao Lan each bowed towards the front.

"Second respect for parents. Thank you for raising up until now."

This time, the two of them bowed towards the Emperor and the Empress. The emperor smiled, though he was obviously not happy that his beloved daughter was married to the second son of the general who had no influence whatsoever.

But there was no need to explain Qiao Rong understood. Princess Lan from childhood was already spoiled by the Emperor because of her abilities. While compared to the newly recognized Qiao Rong recently, even though Princess Lan lost heavily in the competition yesterday, but certainly could not beat the Emperor's affection that had accumulated over the years.

"Third respect to the couple. Promise to love each other for life."

Finally, the two of them faced each other and bowed.

With that, the procession is complete.

Su Xiao accompanied the officials to eat and drink, while Princess Lan immediately returned to the bridal room that had been provided after saluting the guests and the Emperor.

While Qiao Rong sneaked in silently.

*****

Perhaps no one was aware that Prince Qin had also sneaked in and had already disappeared from the wedding banquet.

Now there was only he and Qiao Rong on the side of the palace hall that was filled with bushes.

"Why don't you do it now?" Prince Qin looked curious. They should have been able to win today given all the preparation they made.

"Of course not. I'm not that bad woman who took away another woman's happiness before her first night." Qiao Rong smiled sinisterly.

It seemed like Li Junyan had already done her job well. He had indeed told the boy to place the letter onto Prince Qin's desk because the boy was invisible in the eyes of others. This was the thing he whispered to the boy before he started his closed cultivation for the Four Seasons Competition.

Prince Qin seemed to be speechless after hearing Qiao Rong's words. Is it true that this is her different sister the weak mother and rarely goes out of that palace?

Yet whoever Qiao Rong was in Prince Qin's eyes, he had already chosen a side. He was pretty sure of his choice. He was confident if he wanted to win, then Qiao Rong was the most suitable choice to take.

"More than that, I'm more worried about you. How could brother plunge his own sister who from childhood had grown together into a very deep hole?" Qiao Rong looked at Prince Qin sharply. Although his words were a little bit of a joke, but his tone made the sentence sound very serious as it came out of his mouth.

Prince Qin was instantly worried. But considering his brother who used to be innocent and kind, maybe the child had long died in his heart. It was all because of Consort Wu's teachings that made the child become what it is today.

Although the devious woman was his mother, Prince Qin had never considered her mother.

In fact, he would be happier if he admitted that he was raised by the head of a ladyboy. At least the head of the lady always accompanied him and asked him how he was doing every day.

Consort Wu would only pretend to pay attention to her if the Emperor visited. Moreover, lately Consort Wu increasingly controls the behavior of Prince Qin to recklessly implant Worm Gu in his body.

"No." Finally Prince Qin replied briefly and firmly.

Qiao Rong could now smile with satisfaction.
