The envoys shall meet the Emperor!

(What? You haven't seen a woman before?)

This lamp is really nice.

(How could I forget about him?)

(Xiao Han, the Fifth Prince.)

(Xiao Han, Fifth Prince) (I remember in the later story,)

(Xiao Han was also very cunning,)

(and was always opposing Xiao Xu.)

(I wonder how many evil deeds)

(he has done secretly)

(and whether Xiao Xingheng)

(knows his true colors.)

The Crown Prince has arrived!

Greetings, Father.

You've really grown capable.

Of course, your daughter is beautiful.

Don't end up in trouble

and bring trouble to me.

No way, I'll never get into trouble.

Girls can't be kept home once they're grown.

But my daughter

deserves the best man in the world.

If things go wrong, no worries.

Your father will back you up.

You just need to pick the man you like.

Old man, enough talking. It's all in this drink.

All you know is how to chatter.

The feast begins!

I brought Princess Jielan here

to wish Your Majesty a happy birthday.

Thank you for coming specially.

Convey my regards to your king.

This time coming here,

His Majesty specifically asked me to bring Princess Jielan,

hoping to form a lasting alliance with Great Li.

May I ask which royal member

he has in mind for this match?

This should be decided by you.

But your Crown Prince has deep ties with our nation.

(Deep ties?)

(I remember the book mentioned)

(the Crown Prince was a hostage prince in the Liu Kingdom.)

(But it's only briefly mentioned.)

(Could there be some hidden story?)

I don't want to marry that sickly man.

In the Liu Kingdom, that sickly man

was so timid and annoying.

And now, he's often bedridden.

I don't want to become a widow right after marrying.

Please forgive her, Your Majesty. Princess Jielan is young and naive.

What she said earlier was without malice.

Please don't take offense, Your Majesty.

Princess Jielan, who do you have in mind?

Of course, someone who is not only healthy and handsome,

but also versed in both literature and martial arts.

And most importantly, he must be your favorite prince.

(Now she's picking.)

Princess Jielan really thinks highly of herself.

She hasn't even considered if any prince would marry her.

Am I wrong?

Back in the Liu Kingdom, that Crown Prince

was scolded by my siblings and didn't dare talk back.

Who would want to marry someone like that?

Shut up!

I just acted improperly.

But there are some words I must say.

I beg for your forgiveness.

It's fine. I permit you to speak freely.

Princess Jielan, I just observed your appearance up close.

In terms of looks, you're just average.

In terms of virtue, you speak carelessly and hurt others.

Your words and actions are vile.

It clearly shows a lack of character.

In terms of family background, while you are a princess,

you are not the legitimate daughter.

And several years ago, the Liu Kingdom already

signed a surrender treaty with our nation.

You are just an illegitimate princess from a defeated country.

Who gave you the courage

to criticize and pick on our Crown Prince?

Take a look in the mirror. Are you worthy of that?

You...

Well said.

You said I'm not worthy?

His Majesty hasn't said anything.

How dare you, a mere woman, criticize me?

Are you even worthy?

You should be grateful that my father governs

the northern frontiers and not the western regions.

Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to question me.

Princess Jielan says Princess Yuexi is unworthy.

I wonder if I'm worthy.

If not for His Majesty's kindness,

worrying that war would displace the people,

I'd have led troops

to occupy your imperial city.

At that time, Princess,

you wouldn't be here questioning whether Princess Yuexi is worthy.

Thanks.

Well done.

The men in my country are all outstanding, they'll find wives.

I appreciate your king's good intentions.

But the alliance marriage is now dismissed.

Yes.

I've come to offer birthday wishes to Your Majesty.

Wish you longevity.

Rise.

Though the timing might be inappropriate,

I must still make it clear.

My father specifically instructed me

that if Your Majesty agrees,

he hopes our prince may find a good match in Great Li.

Here comes another.

His Majesty's sons are being stolen away.

Exactly.

Do you have someone in mind?

I've heard Princess Yuexi is virtuous and refined.

I hope Your Majesty and Prince Ning will grant this favor.

What are you talking about?

Who gave you the courage?

Are you courting death?

Prince Ning, calm down.

It's not that serious, calm down.

- Interesting, truly interesting. - Calm down, Prince Ning.

Don't stop me!

Prince Ning.

This is outrageous!

Get over here!

- What, can't bear to part with her? - Brat, you...

Let alone the tense relations between Beiqiong and Great Li,

if war breaks out,

every royal woman married off will become a hostage.

- Take her for example, - Calm down, Prince Ning.

- the only daughter of Prince Ning - What are you thinking about?

and the glory of the Ning's troops.

Would His Majesty marry her off?

Daring to covet my daughter?

Enough, enough, enough.

This brat.

Princess Yuexi is the pearl of our nation.

She should be cherished and kept safe.

How could we let her leave?

You two are not right for each other.

But, if you fancy another noble lady,

I would be pleased to see it happen.

I... Just you wait!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

This is too infuriating.

If you wish to win over Prince Ning,

I can help you.

No need. I want her to genuinely align with me.

I shouldn't have attended this event.

Your Grace.

Pardon me, Your Grace,

for being abrupt.

It's just that my master invites you for a private conversation.

Who is your master?

Mr. Bai.

The son of the Duke of State?
