Zombie Princess - Chapter 53

 “The benevolent Empress Dowager said, the eldest daughter of Luo Youqing, Lou Fu who is skilled, generous, virtuous and beautiful. Emperor Dowager heard it and herewith arranged her marriage to the seventh son of the Emperor. All etiquette will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and Qintian supervisor, choosing the date of marriage.”

  The eunuch chief had finished reading the decree, and saw the future Princess who was kneeling in the hall seemed to be not yet in a state of joy, “Miss Luo, accept the decree, okay?”

  Luo Fu then snapped out of her daze and held the decree with both hands.

  After the eunuch left, she opened the decree again and looked at it. After reading it, her face turned ugly. 

  How could Empress Dowager marry her to Chen Wang? Was there anything wrong?

  She had been divorced. Although the Qi empire was liberal, she felt that she couldn’t marry a highborn. 

  But now, this imperial edict meant that her divorce or separation didn’t matter, and she could still be a princess.

  Also, did Chen Wang know about it?

  Of course, if it weren’t for his great efforts, there would be no such marriage.

  Suining Palace.

 After the decree was sent to the Prime Minister’s House, the Empress Dowager joked, “Are you satisfied?” There was something in her tone.

  Chen Wang sat on the brocade stool at Empress Dowager’s feet and massaged her leg. She heard his voice clearly, “You will like your granddaughter-in-law.”

  “Oh you started guarding her even before marriage?”

  Seeing his embarrassed, Empress Dowager patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “She was chosen by you. You like her, and this old woman will naturally like her too. However, I would like her more if you let me hold my grandson early.”

  Qin Tian* supervisor soon gave a list of auspicious days for the marriage, and Chen Wang chose the closest one, September 28.

  One was His highness, the prince, and the other was the beloved daughter of the Prime Minister. Of course, the marriage of the two had to be flamboyant.

  The time was still tight, and the ceremony department was preparing intensively.

  A few months passed, and as the wedding day came near, the palace was renovated, waiting for the bride to enter.

  At this time, someone disturbed the joyous atmosphere.

 “South Guangdong led their army to attack the border and has seized several towns in Suizhou!”

  Chen Wang was visiting the new residence when he was called by the Emperor. He immediately entered the palace.

  After seeing the battle report thrown by the Emperor, Chen Wang was affected.

  The South Guangdong commander was not someone else. It was the King of War impostor who had fled.

  Maybe it was deliberately done. The Emperor of South Guangdong still made him the King of War, and ordered him to be the commander, and led the troops to attack the Qi Empire.

  The King of War was familiar with the Qi empires’ defense. In a few days, he captured a lot of cities.

  “Seventh Son, this time, South Guangdong is fierce. I decided to send you. For one, you know a lot about the South Guangdong impostor. And two, the title of the “King of War “originally belonged to you, but the thief stole it for several years. I am giving you a chance to confront him, and you beat him upright! Oh, I will wait for your victorious return!”

  Emperor patted Chen Wang’s shoulders.

  “This child will not shame you.”

  “Okay, go!”

  When Chen Wang reached the door, the Emperor suddenly called him, “Seventh son, wouldn’t you blame me for you may not be able to marry your wife on the day we fixed?”

 Chen Wang did not look back, “No, because I will not miss the wedding.”

  With less than two months before his wedding, what did this mean? Would he defeat South Guangdong in this short period and then return to the wedding in time?

  “Hahaha, well, it’s worthy of being my son! Go! For your Princess, Zhen will send someone to inform her.”

  Chen Wang strode away.

  Luo Fu learned that Chen Wang had gone to the battlefield three days later. By then, Chen Wang had already traveled more than halfway.

  A’wei carefully looked at her face and reassured her, “Miss, His Royal Highness is a valiant warrior, using soldiers like gods*. You wait for him to beat those South Guangdong thieves till they fart and urinate in their pants and come back to marry you.”

  Luo Fu drank a cup of almond milk, and licked the milk stain on her lips, “I’m not worried.”

 She didn’t seem to be telling a lie. A’wei was relieved, and then she felt weird.

  Isn’t her Miss supposed to worry about Chen Wang’s safety and her wedding date?

  Although she had been with the girl for so long, she sometimes couldn’t understand what she was thinking.

  She didn’t care about understanding her master’s thoughts. Just serving her diligently was good enough for her.

  “Miss, what would you like to eat at noon?” A’wei brought over a thick menu.

  This menu was made by Luo Fu when she was bored. She compiled the names of various dishes and then asked the artist to draw those dishes to make a booklet. So that when it was time to eat, she didn’t have to rack her brains to chose what to eat. She could directly point at the menu.

  With her tips and guidance, Liu Shi developed many new dishes, one after another, and added it in the menu.

  Holding the menu every day to point what to eat, that moment was undoubtedly the happiest time for her.

  “Crystal elbow(pig), steamed chicken with lotus leaf powder, sweet beef, mandarin fish, roasted pigeon, lotus root chips, creamy chicken broccoli. Well, an ice bowl for dessert after the meal.”

  The sweet beef was Luo Fu’s recently discovered favorite. She ordered it once every two or three days.

  At first, she looked at the menu and thought it was sweet beef.

  She thought that the beef would be the same with some sweetness?

  It turned out that the dish was not what she wanted, but the beef stew. There was no seasoning in it, and there was no salt or spring onion. It completely embedded the taste of beef itself.

  The soup was so delicious with a natural sweetness that she could eat three bowls in one breath.

  As for the ice bowl, it was made of fresh lotus seeds, snow-white tender coriander, coriander fruit, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and peeled and pitted red apricots, peaches, etc. and the last was topped with creamy milk. 

  In July, when the days were so hot, how could she miss the cold food?

  Only one bowl was enough to relieve the heat and all exhaustion.

  “Also add another meat custard and rice cakes, my favorite,” Luo Fu closed the booklet.

  After that, she went to the Clear courtyard, as usual, to raise her hatred points.

  After her unremitting efforts, the system was now not far from being upgraded to the seventh level. She hoped to upgrade the system and become a human successfully before getting married.

  Because she was afraid, she would bite Chen Wang on their wedding night.

  By then, Chen Wang had to wait. 

  Although this marriage with Chen Wang was not in her original plans, since the decree had arrived, she did not intend to resist it.

  It is true that she could pat her ass and walk away*, but she was not competent enough to support herself. Instead of leaving home to eat, she was worried about getting caught at any time. She would rather continue to degenerate and decay in the Prime Minister’s House.

  Wasn’t it just to marry someone?

  Of course, the biggest reason was that she didn’t dislike Chen Wang.
