The Chief Eunuch, accompanied by ten male pets who were not chosen, left this sandy Border Town. Just as the ten breathed a sigh of relief at not being selected, they saw the approaching horses and carriages. They passed by two fine horses, and atop one was the Number One Handso Man, famous throughout the Imperial City.
These ten were considered handso n in the Imperial City, but standing beside this Number One Handso Man, it was clear who was truly peerless. As the saying goes, when placed side by side, it’s evident who is unattractive and who is embarrassed.
"Is it Bai Yu?" The son of the Imperial rchant was incredulous, "Is he going to... the Border Town?"
The Concubine-born Son from the Marquis’ Mansion looked back at the two riders who had long since sped away, "The only direction they could be headed is the Border Town, right?"
The Chief Eunuch squinted his eyes. He had always heard the old emperor lanting, worrying that the beautiful Her Royal Highness Princess would beco a burly brute. Hence, the male pets selected for her could be without talent or martial arts, even dim-witted, but they must have a pleasing appearance. Throughout the Imperial City, His Majesty the Emperor was most satisfied with Bai Yu, that Number One Handso Man, yet he happened to be untouchable due to his illustrious family background.
But now... the appearance of the Number One Handso Man here, does it an that His Majesty couldn’t resist and took action against the King with a Different Surna?
Oh no, oh no, those who moved the King with a Different Surna, haven’t they all t their end? How could they dare to act?
Just as the Chief Eunuch was feeling anxious, he saw a carriage slowly approaching, and a familiar voice ca from within: "This Number One Handso Man is way too eager, rushing to see Her Highness the Eldest Princess as soon as possible."
Another sharp voice chid in: "After all, he’s been secretly admiring Her Royal Highness Princess for seven years. If he could fly, he’d have probably grown wings and flown there already."
"Tsk! Didn’t his Flying Eagle already fly over long ago!"
"That’s true, hahaha..."
As the two of them chatted and laughed, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the two cried out in surprise, "Godfather!"
The Chief Eunuch was surprised, "Why are you here?"
The little eunuch laughed, inviting the Chief Eunuch into the carriage, and then spilled out the entire story of the Number One Handso Man’s petition to marry the princess. The old emperor set a challenge for him, requiring him to pass as a martial top scholar, and the Number One Handso Man actually passed... The series of events unfolded like pouring beans out of a bag.
The ten gentlen outside the carriage were stunned, looking at each other with astonished eyes.
The son of the Imperial rchant exclaid, "No way, Bai Yu actually wants to marry the Eldest Princess!"
The Concubine-born Son from the Marquis’ Mansion said, "I thought he liked the Little Princess, I’ve always heard he rejected those young girls pursuing him, saying he already has soone in mind."
The son of the Assistant Minister of Rites wondered, "What does he like about the Eldest Princess? Her robust physique, her Fierce Beast-like face, or that ssy, unruly short hair?"
The son of a minor official warned, "Ahem, keep your voices down, such words must not be overheard."
Even though the ten lowered their voices, the Chief Eunuch in the carriage still heard and let out a snort of laughter.
Before leaving the palace, the old emperor instructed him to paint a portrait of the Eldest Princess’s current appearance.
He secretly t the princess, and when she removed her mask, even he, an old eunuch, was captivated. She was so beautiful, more beautiful than a celestial being!
He touched the scroll behind him, thinking that His Majesty would be very pleased when he saw it, as his Eldest Princess had not beco ugly due to the wind and sand of the Border Town.
Perhaps it was because Her Highness the Eldest Princess feared her face was not intimidating enough and always wore the Fierce Beast mask. This mask shielded her from the wind and sand of the Border Town, allowing her to maintain skin as tender as congealed fat and as white as jade.
...
Two horses stopped outside the Great Xia military camp. Bai Yu took out the royal decree, and the guarding soldiers imdiately knelt down to receive it.
