Chapter 80 The Princess Also Starts to Have Fans
"Could it be that Prince Xixiang has taken a fancy to Princess Lingxuan?" A young girl asked in surprise, covering her mouth.
"It's very possible. Princess Lingxuan is both talented and beautiful, and has a straightforward personality. She and Prince Xixiang are a perfect match." A middle-aged man stroked his beard and said meaningfully.
"Yes, Princess Lingxuan is the Queen Mother's niece. Her marriage to the Xixiang Crown Prince is a great honor to the Xixiang foreign nation." An old woman sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that the princess has to go to that wild Gobi desert."
"That's not true," a young scholar retorted, fanning himself. "The princess's awareness is far beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. Besides, a beautiful woman paired with a hero, perhaps they could become a legendary story."
"Yes, yes, yes, maybe Princess Lingxuan can use her wisdom and beauty to educate Xixiang and bring peace to the border of Da Zhou!" Another onlooker echoed.
...Those promotional pages were printed with all kinds of exaggerated titles and pictures. Cen Jiexiao was watching all this from a tall building not far away.
The News and Media Department was truly the elite of the academy, operating with exceptional efficiency. Within two days, the streets and alleys of Linkang Prefecture were filled with bursts of noisy shouting, mixed with the laughter of children, making the place seem exceptionally lively.
"Have you heard? A fairy-like girl appeared in the city! The dress she wore was also unique and ingenious."
"Is it true? Where is it? I want to go see it too!"
"It seems to be on the street in the east of the city. A lot of people have gone to see the excitement! They all want to catch a glimpse of her."
Cen Jiexiao walked to the window curiously and looked down. She saw a crowd of people on the street. Several young men who looked like schoolboys were waving newspapers in their hands and shouting at the top of their voices:
"Breaking News! A mysterious girl appears, seemingly a goddess descended from heaven!"
"A pink fairy descended upon Linkang Prefecture, drawing crowds of people!"
"The debut of Lolita dresses leads the latest trend in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
The voice was loud and high-pitched, full of passion, and instantly attracted a large number of passers-by to stop and watch.
The sky over Linkang Prefecture seemed to have become even higher because of the heat wave. Li Lingxuan sat in the carriage, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, listening to their discussions about her "Lolita dress", and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
These past few days, she's truly experienced what it means to be a "traffic star." Ever since she was swarmed by "fans" on the street, her name has become synonymous with "pink fairy" and "a goddess descending from heaven," and she's become the center of attention wherever she goes.
Those princes and nobles who had previously treated her with indifference and looked down upon her were now rushing to send her invitations, inviting her to various banquets and garden parties, just to have a few words with her and get a taste of her "celestial aura." Li Lingxuan knew that these people were hypocritical; before, she couldn't even enter their houses.
However, the feeling of being sought after is indeed good. For the first time, Li Lingxuan realized what it feels like to be looked up to and loved by everyone. It makes people intoxicated and lost.
"Princess, we're here." The maid lifted the curtain, and Li Lingxuan came to her senses. She adjusted the hem of her Lolita skirt and slowly got off the carriage.
At the entrance of Zhaoyin Academy, Cen Jiexiao was waiting with a few students. Seeing Li Lingxuan, she smiled slightly and walked forward to greet her: "Princess, how come you have time to come to my little courtyard today?"
Li Lingxuan looked at Cen Jiexiao. This woman was really amazing. She had managed to make some low-level publicity methods into something very special. Now, who in the whole Linkang Prefecture didn't know her name, Li Lingxuan?
"President Cen, I came here specifically to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to leave so soon..." Li Lingxuan said as she took an exquisite wooden box from the maid and handed it to Cen Jiexiao. "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."
Cen Jiexiao did not refuse and took the box with confidence. When she opened it, she was almost blinded by the treasures inside.
"Your Highness is truly generous. I will accept this without hesitation," said Sister Cen Xiao, handing the box to the student behind her. "Go, put all this away. We'll buy some new teaching aids for the academy, increase the students' food allowance, and increase the teachers' bonuses this month."
Li Lingxuan looked at Cen Jiexiao's money-obsessed look and couldn't help but laugh, "Dean Cen is truly unique. He's so indifferent to these material possessions, fame, and wealth."
Cen Jiexiao smiled nonchalantly, "My princess, you're joking. I just think that instead of leaving these gold, silver, and jewelry gathering dust in the warehouse, it would be better to use them for something more meaningful."
Li Lingxuan nodded. She admired Cen Jiexiao's words very much. Although this woman was not from a royal family, she had an extraordinary temperament. This temperament made Li Lingxuan feel that Cen Jiexiao was completely different from other women in the Great Zhou.
"By the way, Dean Cen, what should I do next? What other plans do you have?" Li Lingxuan asked impatiently.
Cen Jiexiao smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Li Lingxuan's ear, and whispered, "Princess, this is just the beginning. The best is yet to come..."
Li Lingxuan listened to Cen Jiexiao's words with anticipation in her heart. She had a premonition that her life might be completely changed because of the woman in front of her.
Li Lingxuan pondered in her heart, what was going on in Cen Jiexiao's head? Why did she have so many strange ideas?
"Dean Cen, based on my intuition, your secret must be extraordinary?" Li Lingxuan looked at Cen Jiexiao, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Cen Jiexiao looked at Li Lingxuan, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an intriguing smile: "Princess, do you want to know? That depends on what choice you will make one day in the future."
Li Lingxuan looked at Cen Jiexiao's eyes, and suddenly a strange feeling arose in her heart. This look seemed to be able to see through everything about her, making her feel inexplicably panicked and... her heartbeat accelerated?
Li Lingxuan was completely bewildered by Cen Jiexiao's profound words, but her inner unyielding spirit resurfaced. The more Cen Jiexiao spoke, the more Li Lingxuan wanted to know what she was up to.
"Okay, Dean Cen, I'd like to see if you have any other creative ideas!" Li Lingxuan said calmly, but she was secretly planning in her heart that she must dig out all of Cen Jiexiao's secrets.
Looking at Li Lingxuan's arrogant look, Cen Jiexiao couldn't help but find it a little funny. This little girl is really a little white rabbit who knows nothing.
