This is really not what Princess Dongyou who was sent for marriage should say.
The two princesses' maids all followed behind them with lowered eyebrows. Even Leng Shuang and Leng Yue stayed far away. However, the two of them had good skills and good ears. They seemed to be respectful and quiet, but in fact they were always paying attention to them.
The movement among the princesses.
"Empress De Fei, do you think I'm stupid?" Yun Zishu laughed, "I refused to marry and aroused the anger of the Dongyou envoy. Then I will bear this responsibility myself, bear the wrath of my father, and bear the abuse of Dayong's subjects?"
Dong Lingxue's face looked slightly cold.
"You shouldn't be a princess." Yun Zishu looked at her and revealed her identity calmly, "You don't even have the last name Dongling."
Dong Lingxue's expression changed: "What did you say?"
"You are not a princess, otherwise you would not be so hostile to me." Yun Zishu said firmly, "Unless there is a conflict of interest between us."
Dong Lingxue said nothing with a sullen face.
"Let me guess, you should be the temporarily canonized princess of the Dongyou royal family. Your purpose is not really to marry Emperor Yong, but to make me an enemy and force me to refuse the marriage?" Yun Zishu guessed,
A clear look gradually appeared in his eyes, "But you should know that the marriage is not only a matter between me and Prince Dongyou, but also a major event between Dayong and Dongyou. Dongyou sent 150,000 troops to the border in order to force
Shall I agree to the marriage? If I am instigated by you and reject this marriage, will Dongyou take the opportunity to send troops? When the two countries go to war, I will become a sinner, right? "
Although she knew in her heart that the increase of 150,000 troops in Dongyou was probably Sicang's plan to make the marriage proceed more smoothly, no one, whether it was the Emperor Yong or the ministers, would react to the sudden increase of 150,000 troops.
The soldiers and horses were indifferent.
In contrast, Dong Lingxue's little tricks are really too childish and superficial. They are related to important matters of the family and the country, and personal and family interests are not worth mentioning at all.
Dong Lingxue looked at her expressionlessly for a long time before saying coldly: "My sister is the unofficial crown princess."
"Your sister?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "So you are indeed not a princess."
"I am Situ Xue, the second daughter of the Situ family, and my sister Situ Wan is the queen's favorite princess." She said coldly, "After you marry, your situation will not be very good."
"I don't believe it." Yun Zishu raised her lips with a calm and calm expression, "Although I, the Princess of Dayong, married to a foreign country, she is indeed just an outsider in the eyes of Dongyou's powerful people. However, if your sister is really the queen's favorite,
If you choose to be the Crown Princess, you will not be so eager to tell me these things as if you are facing a formidable enemy."
Situ Xue's face changed slightly and he looked at her coldly.
"You are so anxious to reveal your secrets, aren't you worried about ruining the marriage between the two countries?"
"What is there to worry about? What if Emperor Dayong knew that I was not a princess? Would he dare to send troops?" Situ Xue smiled coldly, with contempt in his tone, "Dongyou is willing to marry Dayong to give you face, if
I guessed right, your father must be eager to pack up the princess and send her to the prince's bed."
If she thought that saying this would anger Yun Zishu, she was totally wrong.
The expression on Yun Zishu's face did not change at all, and she actually nodded seriously: "I agree with your statement. In order to prevent the two countries from going to war, my father may indeed do this, but Prince Dongyou will definitely not agree.
"
Situ Xue narrowed her eyes: "What do you mean?"
"I believe that he will respect me, the future princess, more than anyone else. He will be hired by the country and be married to a matchmaker, and he will never wrong me in the slightest." Yun Zishu smiled slightly, "I also know why you are so anxious.
, because the prince should not take any more concubines after marrying me, and it is impossible for your sister to even become the prince's concubine, so you are so angry and want to sow discord and make me retreat. "
Situ Xue's expression suddenly changed and he looked at her fiercely.
"I still think you are too anxious." Yun Zishu said seriously, "When you first came to Dayong, you know nothing about the situation in Dayong, you know nothing about me, and you don't even know anything about your Highness the Crown Prince.
Knowing everything I know, it’s really not very smart to reveal all the details about yourself so easily.”
Situ Xue narrowed her eyes: "You don't know anything about His Royal Highness?"
"Yes." Yun Zishu nodded, "How much do you know about your Royal Highness?"
"It's ridiculous." Situ Xue sneered coldly, "I don't understand His Royal Highness, do you?"
Yun Zishu looked at her without saying a word, sighing slightly in her heart.
Sure enough, not many people know about Sicang's affairs, but that's normal. As the leader of Dayong Shadow Pavilion, Sicang is in charge of the source of intelligence. It is extremely easy to block information about him.
Even if the Dongyou royal family knew his identity, the emperor and queen could not publicly announce the child to the world after being abandoned by their own hands. The search should be carried out secretly and a reliable person should be responsible.
Therefore, except for the prince with a different surname who came to negotiate terms with Sicang, the other envoys should not know that Sicang is the Prince of Dayong.
Yun Zishu was confident in her heart and said calmly: "You are a guest from afar. Since Concubine De has become your father's concubine, don't worry about Dongyou's affairs anymore."
Situ Xue doubted: "Are you really not afraid?"
"I just have confidence in Prince Dongyou." Yun Zishu said, pointing to the imperial garden, "There are hundreds of flowers competing for beauty, each with its own merits, but I believe that the prince will only choose one of them."
Situ Xue sneered: "You are dreaming."
She is indeed a teenage princess with a wishful thinking.
"Well, just think I'm dreaming." Yun Zishu walked into the garden leisurely, her voice becoming more casual, "What you should be thinking about now is how to survive in the harem in the future. After all, there is a noble concubine above you.
and Concubine Shu, they all have their own sons to rely on. It is not easy for you to serve an emperor as old as my father at such a young age."
Situ Xue's face froze: "What does my matter have to do with you?"
The emperor was older than her father, so Situ Xue was naturally not happy, but she knew that she could not marry into the royal family in Dongyou.
Because her sister was the default crown prince, there was serious competition among clans for the crown prince. When the crown prince ascended the throne, those princes and princes who once aspired to the throne would most likely become rebels and be liquidated by the new emperor.
She can't take risks.
Marrying into another powerful family also meant risks. Marrying away to Dayonglai, with the powerful country of Dongyou as her backer, she could live smoothly in the emperor's harem.
Moreover, her coming to get married is also a contribution to the Situ family, and the emperor will treat the Situ family particularly well.
The only variable now is the Princess Yong.
The queen said that Princess Dayong was the one the prince wanted to marry, and they had no choice but to agree. However, when the princess entered Dongyou, they would still have the final say on future matters. At that time, the elder sister could override the princess.
