Chapter 308 Stunning

Princess Qingyang looked at Caique and said, "Pick one too. Mother asked you to go to Beiyue with me, so I'll need your help with many things in the future."

Cai Que's eyes lit up, "This...I dare not accept it."

"It's okay, Mother will agree when she finds out."

Caique no longer had a stern face. She wanted this and that. Finally, Qingyang made the decision and gave her both. Caique smiled so hard that she couldn't stop.

"Um...I'll go get some snacks. I heard the imperial kitchen has made some new dishes."

"Okay." Qingyang felt relieved after she left.

In fact, she had guessed it. Concubine Rong asked Caique to come not to take care of her, but to keep an eye on her every move.

"Choose one, don't you like any of them? There are still some there, I'll get them for you." Princess Qingyang said.

"Don't go." Li Mumu grabbed her arm, "I don't like anything."

"Then I'll go to North Vietnam and pick one for you!"

"My eldest brother asked me about it on the day the imperial edict came down."

"What do you want to ask me?" asked Princess Qingyang.

"Are you asking me which princess I am going to marry? He won't be happy when he finds out it's you."

Princess Qingyang's expression tightened. After all, she was a child, and some things really couldn't be hidden. "He...what is he unhappy about?"

"He also asked me to keep you here."

"The imperial edict has been issued, and the wedding party will arrive in the capital soon. How can it be changed? It's really interesting. Is he stupid?" Princess Qingyang didn't know what she was thinking when she spoke.

"Yeah, my eldest brother is really stupid, so I won't persuade you."

Princess Qingyang forced a smile and said, "Mumu, I really envy you. You have a family that loves you very much. You will definitely be very happy in the future."

"Happiness is in our own hands." Li Mumu said with a smile, "Even if I don't love my family very much, I still want to make myself happy."

"You are still too young. It's not that easy. You have a family that loves you and will consider choosing a husband suitable for you, but others can only obey their parents' orders. This is the biggest difference." Princess Qingyang said.

Li Mumu does not deny the many injustices and restrictions on women in this era, but that does not mean they have to obey.

For the sake of the plan, she didn't plan to tell Princess Qingyang for the time being, for fear that she would get excited and run over to question him, or do something else, which would affect the overall situation.

"But things are in our hands, so we have to resist. If you are not happy yourself, how can you give happiness to the people who love you?" Li Mumu said.

Princess Qingyang found her words difficult to accept. "Okay, okay, as long as you are happy."

…

The younger brother of the current North Vietnamese emperor who came to North Vietnam to welcome the bride was known as the Wise King. He also brought a general with him, saying that he was in charge of protecting Princess Dongyao's safety and ensuring that she arrived in North Vietnam smoothly and safely without any mishaps along the way.

Li Mumu was ordered to welcome them, so she was not surprised at all when she saw Rong Jinxuan coming as well. Concubine Rong would definitely try her best to let Rong Jinxuan contact the people from North Vietnam.

After all, these will help him in the future.

But when she saw the hypocritical King of North Vietnam, Li Mumu's heart tightened. This man entered the palace and humiliated Princess Qingyang, but turned the tables and caused her to be hated by the Emperor of North Vietnam.

But later he became the regent of North Vietnam. After Rong Jinxuan ascended the throne, the two countries maintained exchanges and the relationship was pretty good, but this man was ambitious and was by no means a good person.

"Mumu!" Old Master Bai looked at Li Mumu staring at the King of North Vietnam in a daze and reminded him in a low voice.

"Don't blame me, Your Majesty. The little princess is still young. This is her first time welcoming distinguished guests. Perhaps she was a little confused for a moment."

The general was a little unhappy. He raised his whip loudly and the whip swept through the air, almost hitting Mr. Bai. If Mr. Bai had not remained calm in the face of danger, he would have been disgraced.

The general laughed heartily. "You, Dongyao, took the initiative to propose a marriage, but sent such a young child to greet us. How can this be justified? Don't you look down on us?"

"Our wise king is certainly famous, but a child this young might even wet his pants. What does he know?"

Old Master Bai also felt that this was inappropriate. After all, Mumu was still young. Since the emperor wanted the two countries to have friendly relations, asking Mumu to welcome the envoy would make people unhappy.

But Emperor Xuande was very stubborn and no one could persuade him to change his mind.

Because of this kind of thing, Mr. Bai felt too embarrassed to bang his head against the pillar again.

"I know. He's the Wise King of Beiyue, the youngest brother of the Emperor of Beiyue. He's incredibly gifted, a prodigy. He can bring peace to the world with his pen and decide the fate of the world with his martial arts. At the age of three, he silenced the envoys of Nanyu in the palace, and at the age of seven, he placed among the top three in the imperial examinations under an alias!"

Li Mumu's words not only made the North Vietnamese people's faces change drastically, but even Mr. Bai was a little surprised.

Could it be that Gu Jian told this little girl in advance, but there are some things even he doesn't know.

“What a pity…”

Li Mumu's hesitation made the King of North Vietnam very curious, "What a pity?"

Li Mumu tilted her head to look at the arrogant general.

"What are you looking at? Tell me, I'm afraid you can't memorize it anymore."

He cracked the whip again, with a malicious intention to scare Li Mumu, and deliberately urged the horse to take a step forward, as if he wanted to trample Li Mumu.

However, at this moment, Li Mumu quickly grabbed his whip. She was strong to begin with, and the man was arrogant and unprepared, so Li Mumu pulled the man off the horse with just a little force, causing him to fall flat on his face.

Li Mumu quickly wrapped the whip around the horse's two front hooves, and the horse struggled and fell to the ground. If the man had not dodged quickly, the horse would have fallen directly on him.

The man had just scrambled to his feet when Li Mumu said with a chuckle, "General Longwu of Beiyue is naturally strong and skilled in horseback riding and archery, capable of shooting an arrow through a hundred paces. He's only lost three battles so far, all to my grandfather."

"Your grandpa?" Li Mumu's outstretched hand made the man alert.

"You don't forget it, do you? General Gu Jian." Li Mumu said with a smile. Seeing the man's embarrassment, she felt much more relieved.

And out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the wise king looking at her.

"You are Gu Jian's granddaughter, no wonder..."

Li Mumu didn't expect that this arrogant man seemed to be quite submissive to her grandfather.

"Are you the Princess Anguo who used a brilliant plan to repel the enemy?" the wise king asked with interest. "You are indeed extremely intelligent."

"You're too kind. I'm just an ordinary kid. There are many people in Dongyao Country who are smarter than me."

Li Mumu's modesty made Mr. Bai nod frequently. Dongyao Kingdom took the initiative to propose a marriage, which was already inferior to others. Fortunately, he was able to save some face now.
