The officials and women of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the princes and princesses of the Western Lands, all wanted to applaud this Prince Tiantian.
Good heavens, is your Dongzhe Kingdom a land abundant with bears and leopards?
If it weren't for the abundance of those two things, where would you get your audacity from?
Asking to marry someone else's fiancée in front of General Lu?
There's only one word to describe it: awesome!
They believed that Prince Tian's trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty was absolutely worthwhile.
The emperor, who was always fond of watching a good show, was already itching to cause trouble when he heard what Prince Tian said. He glanced at the composed Lu Zheng and then said in a serious tone, "So that's how it is! But, Prince Tian, have you ever heard of the rules of our Great Zhou?"
Seeing that the emperor was not angry and having listened to the messenger's translation, Prince Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands, saying, "This is my first time in the Great Zhou, and I am unfamiliar with the various customs. If I have offended anyone, please forgive me. At the same time, I hope Your Majesty can inform me about the customs of marriage in the Great Zhou."
The messenger translated Prince Tian's words for the emperor.
The emperor nodded solemnly and looked at the ninth prince.
The Ninth Prince was taken aback, then stood up and said, "Prince Tian Tian, in our Great Zhou, once a man and woman are engaged, exchange tokens, and have a marriage certificate, it is no different from being married. When Prince Tian Tian wanted to propose to Princess Xin Xin, didn't he first inquire whether Princess Xin Xin was already engaged?"
The messenger, with a somber expression, translated the message to Prince Tian Tian.
He knew that Princess Xin Xin was engaged, and it was impossible for their prince not to know this along the way.
Princess Xin Xin is very famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her fiancé, General Lu, is very famous!
That person was persecuted by his stepmother at a young age, but managed to escape on his own, gain the emperor's trust, and repeatedly perform great deeds in front of the emperor.
Can their prince outmaneuver General Lu?
The messenger had guessed their prince's thoughts. In their Eastern Zhe, let alone engagement, even marriage was acceptable as long as you had the ability to steal someone away and make the woman willingly follow you, and no one would dare to say anything. But it was not like that in the Great Zhou.
The messenger wanted to explain to Prince Tian, but with so many people present, he didn't want to embarrass his prince, nor did he want to make his prince lose face.
He was from Dongzhe. If Prince Tiantian could marry Princess Xinxin, it would definitely be a good thing for Dongzhe.
If he can't marry her, it won't be him who loses face, since the prince will take the blame anyway.
The prince won't be able to blame him then; he'll know what he needs to know anyway.
After hearing the explanation, Prince Tian Tian looked surprised and said, "I see. But in our Eastern Zhe, even if you get married, you can divorce as long as both of you are willing. Who knows if you met your true love when you got married? What's the point of living your life if you don't live with the person you love? Your Majesty, although we are on the territory of the Great Zhou, and I want to follow the rules of the Great Zhou in everything else, I still hope that Your Majesty can give me a chance in this matter."
The messenger hesitated, unsure whether to translate it or not. These words were too arrogant. He feared that if he translated them, his prince would either be stabbed to death by Princess Xin Xin or punched to death by General Lu.
