The second prince, Li Jingchen, also supported his elder brother and stood up to express his opinion, "This son is also willing. However, the main wife in this son's mansion is this son's savior, and this son and Concubine Xie are in love with each other.
Princess Tianci has done great things, so she probably won't bother with these two people in the future!"
When the second prince said the last sentence, his tone was very sincere.
Although the Third Prince Li Jingbai had lost his mother's family, he knew that he could not be a drag at this time. He also stood up and said after the Second Prince's statement:
"I am willing too. My position as concubine is still vacant! As for the principal wife, I still want to find someone who is well-educated and well-mannered.
Princess Tianci is so powerful that she definitely wouldn't mind this matter."
The mother of the fourth prince, Li Jingxuan, was Consort Rong, whose family background was poor and she was not favored. Therefore, he had always been a little-known figure among the other princes. Now he was forced to speak out, "Father, your majesty, my concubine position is still vacant!"
He just said this and stopped talking.
Then it was the turn of the fifth prince, Li Jingyu. Li Jingyu was even more outspoken, "The position of concubine for your son is also vacant, but your Majesty, unless it is absolutely necessary, please do not choose your son.
I have a bad temper. When I get angry, I will beat a woman.
I am worried that if something happens to Princess Tianci, there will be no way to resolve this matter..."
When the Second Prince and the Queen heard what the Fifth Prince said, they disagreed in their hearts but did not say anything to stop him.
Zhou Qiongyue and Princess Yongchun were sitting very close to each other, and both of them lowered their heads and tried to hold back their laughter.
Yuwen Tianci was so angry that she could no longer express it. She habitually reached for the sword at her waist. When she found nothing, she remembered that she had taken the sword away when she entered the palace.
She really wanted to rush forward and chop these people with two swords, how dare they insult her. She was a princess who protected the country, but she could only be a concubine to the prince of Tianyuan Kingdom.
Each one is more infuriating than the other.
Yuwen Tianci turned to look at the emperor angrily, "Your Majesty, we, the Shenggan Kingdom, came here with sincerity, but you don't seem to have any sincerity."
Before the emperor could speak, Yuan Bohua spoke first, "I think your highnesses are quite sincere, and the position of concubine is not low. Although Princess Tianci has a noble status in Shenggan Country, she is just that in other countries."
As soon as Yuan Bohua said this, Sun Changkun next to him looked at Yuan Bohua with admiration. This Prince Fu'an was too bold.
"Does your country still have the sense of hierarchy? The emperor hasn't even spoken yet, but anyone dares to make decisions for him." Yuwen Tianci was indeed a general, and he emphasized the importance of hierarchy as soon as he opened his mouth.
The emperor took the initiative to come out and support Yuan Bohua, "Tianci, don't be angry. Although it is just a marriage between two countries, you will spend your lives together after all. Of course, it is best if you two are in love. Everyone is just expressing their own opinions."
Yuwen Tianci was already cursing the Tianyuan Kingdom's ignorant bumpkins at this point. The angrier she got, the more serious her expression became. "Your country insults me like this, aren't you afraid of a repeat of the tragedy from over a decade ago?"
Yuwen Tianci felt that the Tianyuan Kingdom really didn't know what was good for them. Their Shenggan Kingdom was willing to take the initiative to propose marriage, but they gave up such a capable princess like her.
Instead of rushing to marry her out of gratitude and keeping her as their idol, they are still making excuses.
"Oh, from what I understand, your country is more afraid of war now! Otherwise, how could they abandon a princess like you who is capable of fighting on the battlefield?"
The emperor, who knew the inside story, was not afraid at this time! The Shenggan Kingdom was attacked by the Sunset Kingdom on his other side and had lost five cities in a row.
Even if Shenggan Kingdom won this battle, it would still be severely damaged. Otherwise, why would Shenggan Kingdom abandon such a capable princess?
Yuwen Tianci could only look at the princes with a condemning look, "Is your country the kind of person who would kick someone when they're down?"
"Oh, we are!" The emperor answered very smoothly. During the drought in Yuan'an two years ago, the emperor cursed the heavens for being blind.
At this moment, he wanted to take back what he said, but God still has eyes.
Except for the envoys from Shenggan Country, everyone else in the hall felt happy.
"Does your country intend to tear up the alliance between the two countries?" Yuwen Tianci was just trying to hold on at this time.
They came here so quickly, traveling day and night, because they were afraid that Tianyuan Kingdom would know their true situation and would be in a passive position.
At this time, the Tiangan Kingdom could not withstand being attacked from both sides, so a marriage between the two countries was imperative.
This opportunity is really good, but Tianyuan Kingdom cannot withstand the war for the time being, and the emperor can only humiliate the delegation at the banquet.
The Emperor continued, "Our Tianyuan Kingdom is a country that honors its alliances and has no intention of breaking them. However, the matter of Lianyan still requires mutual consent."
Yuwen Tianci once again looked at the princes, his gaze mainly lingering on the Second and Fifth Princes. As for the others, Yuwen Tianci felt that none of them were worthy of her noble status.
The second prince and the fifth prince felt it, but they didn't care. The position of the principal wife was impossible for them anyway.
Yuwen Tianci first set his sights on the fifth prince because he was not only a legitimate son but also had no legal wife. Once he defeated the second prince, he would become the prince, and he could even become the queen of Tianyuan Kingdom.
So Yuwen Tianci took the initiative and asked, "I wonder what the Fifth Prince thinks of this princess?"
"It is indeed unsuitable for you to be my prince's principal wife. Dignified and virtuous, the princess does not possess any of these qualities. If the princess is willing to be a concubine, I think she is fine."
After the fifth prince finished speaking, he smiled at Yuwen Tianci.
Yuwen Tianci...immediately cursed in his heart.
At this moment, Yuwen Tianci had a cold face and said seriously: "Fifth Prince, you are joking. It is impossible for a princess of Shenggan Kingdom to be a concubine."
The fifth prince didn't care, "Oh, then Princess, you and this prince are not destined to be together."
Yuwen Tianci silently remembered this humiliation in his heart, and then turned his gaze to the second prince again.
The second prince originally thought that it didn’t matter whether Yuwen Tianci became his concubine or not, but she asked that kid Li Jingchen and then asked him, which made it impossible.
He and the fifth prince are brothers. What if he marries the princess and it affects their reputation in the future?
He didn't want to fall out with his brother because of a princess from an enemy country, so the second prince also said directly: "Princess Tianci, don't look down on me. I am not worthy of you."
Yuwen Tianci, she glared at the Second Prince with hatred. This was the husband she had chosen before coming to Tianyuan Kingdom.
Then Yuwen Tianci put on a smiling face again, "Your position as a concubine is indeed not worthy of this princess, but the position of the Second Prince's principal wife is quite suitable for me. How about you let your principal wife be a concubine?"
