In the mirror, there was a girl with long flowing hair; Xiao Tao looked at herself, biting her teeth, with a shy and slightly happy expression on her face. She never dreamed that things would turn out like this.
She let down her maid's bun and put on a princess's headdress. Her once pretty face seemed to have taken on a sense of holiness and nobility.
Next to her, a 20-year-old woman with bright white teeth chuckled, "Princess Xiaotao, are you satisfied with your current jewelry? If you are not satisfied with anything, we at Mingyu Jewelry Company can modify or replace it immediately."
Xiao Tao was filled with joy and didn't care about these things. It looked really good and she said timidly, "Very satisfied."
"Then please sign it, Princess. Thank you for your patronage."
Xiaotao picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Li Xiaotao" stroke by stroke.
The maids around were all laughing and happy for Xiao Tao; as a maid who came with the dowry, it was a miracle that she could have such a result. However, they envied Xiao Tao's opportunity - she was recognized as the younger sister by the virtuous king and was now the eldest princess of Anyang.
The clock next to me struck 5 p.m.
Several maids around came forward and pulled Xiao Tao up, "Princess, the time has come. You should choose a consort. Hehehe..."
Several maids hurriedly stuffed Xiao Tao into a pink, open-top women's motorcycle and drove out. When they arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Tao was stunned. She saw dozens of people kneeling in front of her, all wearing wedding dresses and holding nine beautiful roses.
There were many people cheering around.
Only Zhang Hongtao gnashed his teeth at the opportunistic bastards around him. Although everyone understood that Zhang Hongtao had a great chance, and might even be the only one, many people still had a glimmer of hope - this was the eldest princess, and it could be predicted that there would not be another consort in Anyang for at least 16 years!
Even if the princess has a child now, it will take sixteen years for the child to grow up; and Li Xian cannot recognize as many sisters as he wants.
Smarter people understand that Li Xian's move was just a political show, and Xiao Tao was more of a "political tool" to help him along. Of course, this political tool received a "rich reward."
Also, since it was a political show, Zhang Hongtao couldn't be the only one doing the show. There should be more people to help the wise king make this "political show" a success. Therefore, many bright-eyed businessmen even asked their sons to show up, and some even appeared in person. That's why there were so many "red men" at the scene.
When Xiaotao's pink motorcycle came out, the cheers from the surroundings suddenly became louder.
Two maids helped Xiao Tao get off the car and walked forward. The surroundings gradually became quiet, and everyone was watching who Xiao Tao would choose. Would it be better if he changed his mind at the last minute
Zhang Hongtao was excited, nervous and expectant. Looking at Xiaotao's figure, he almost forgot to think. He also forgot his legs which were numb from kneeling for almost a day and didn't seem so tired anymore.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Tao boldly walked directly in front of Zhang Hongtao. Then... Then... Xiao Tao took the rose, and even more boldly kissed Zhang Hongtao lightly, then flew back to the car like a frightened butterfly and ran away...
