Inside the post station, Mu Xinyan knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
After a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother, what did I do wrong? I have been kneeling for an hour."
Mu Weiliang leaned back in her chair, glancing at her with her lowered eyelids: "Who are you calling 'Royal Brother'? What should you call me?"
Upon hearing the cold voice, Mu Xinyan trembled again: "Your...Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Mu Weiliang was pleased with Mu Xinyan's sensible manner, so she kindly explained to her, "Who gave you permission to go down this morning?"
Mu Xinyan: "I...I just want to go down and see His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom."
Mu Weiliang rebuked, "You? You dare to covet Rong Xi? You're dreaming."
Upon hearing Mu Weiliang's words, Mu Xinyan immediately straightened her posture: "I am a princess of Tianzhu Kingdom, and he is the crown prince of Qinglong Kingdom. Why can't we be together? Perhaps, after meeting him this morning, he has already begun to see me in a different light?"
Hearing her words, Chihiro and Hatsumi, who were standing nearby, felt an urge to crack open her head and see what was inside.
Why is His Highness the Crown Prince so wise and powerful, while Mu Xinyan, who shares the same father, is so stupid? Could it be that her intelligence doesn't come from her father?
Mu Weiliang rubbed her forehead, no longer wanting to explain to this idiot.
Mu Weiliang instructed Bao Xia, "Keep a close eye on her and make her kneel for another two hours, otherwise..."
Bao Xia: "Yes, Your Highness."
When Mu Xinyan heard that she had to kneel for another two hours, she immediately became unwilling.
"Your Majesty, no, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please let me get up."
If she kneels for another two hours, her legs will be ruined.
Mu Weiliang: "Oh? You know you were wrong? What did you do wrong?"
Mu Xinyan...
Shouldn't you be helping me up? Why are you suddenly asking me what I did wrong? I don't even know what I did wrong! Let me think about it...
"Hmph, it seems you haven't realized your mistake. Well then, keep kneeling."
Mu Xinyan: "No, no, no, I know I was wrong. I was wrong... I was wrong... I shouldn't have gotten off the carriage. I shouldn't have disgraced our Tianzhu Kingdom."
"Is that all?"
Mu Weiliang was waiting for her to say something next! But there was nothing more. Mu Weiliang expressionlessly turned and left.
Mu Xinyan watched as Mu Weiliang left without saying anything, presumably to let her get up. So she rubbed her legs and prepared to stand up.
Bao Xia stepped forward: "Your Highness, you still need to kneel for two more hours."
Mu Xinyan: "You're talking nonsense. Didn't my brother just forgive me?"
Bao Xia shook her head: "I didn't hear His Highness the Crown Prince tell you to get up, so you need to kneel for another two hours."
Ignoring her, Mu Xinyan tried to stand up by holding onto the chair next to her, but Bao Xia pressed her down again.
"Bao Xia, how dare you! I am a princess, and you are a maid. How dare you lay a hand on me!"
Bao Xia shook her head apologetically: "This servant only listens to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Mu Xinyan's legs were suddenly and forcefully pressed to the ground, causing her to cry from the pain.
"You damned maid, if I kneel here for two hours, I won't be able to attend the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow. See how my brother punishes you!"
Bao Xia: "It's alright. His Highness the Crown Prince gave me medicine for my injuries, which will ensure that the Princess will be at the birthday banquet on time the day after tomorrow."
Mu Xinyan was furious and kept pointing at Bao Xia, yelling "you, you, you!"
Bao Xia sighed, "Princess, it's not really His Highness's fault. You kept saying you were wrong, but you didn't really realize your mistake, which is why His Highness got angry."
Bao Xia didn't really want to deal with this foolish princess, but if she didn't make things clear with her, the princess might make a big mistake in the future, and it could even implicate the Crown Prince. That's why she explained things to the princess to prevent her from doing more wrong things in the future.
Mu Xinyan: "Didn't I just admit my mistake? What else could I have done wrong? I only got off the carriage and said a few words to His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom. What did I do wrong? My legs are killing me!"
Bao Xia: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the princess gets off the carriage or speaks with His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom. The important thing is that the princess shouldn't have any designs on His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom."
"Why? My status and appearance are perfectly worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Bao Xia rolled her eyes at her in her heart: "Princess, what do you think the Crown Prince of a country will be in the future?"
Mu Xinyan pouted: "The Emperor, what else could it be? If he weren't the Crown Prince, why would I have taken a liking to him?"
Bao Xia: "Princess, you're not entirely confused about this. So, would the emperor of one country allow himself to have an empress from another country?"
Mu Xinyan...
Yes, she was a princess from another country, and he was the crown prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, the future emperor. He would never allow her to sit on that throne.
If she were a concubine, let alone whether her father, the emperor, would spare her, even the crown prince wouldn't. Not because of her own character, but because of the reputation of the Kingdom of India.
She went to great lengths to come to the Azure Dragon Kingdom for a political marriage, just so she could have a place in the kingdom and not be looked down upon by her father and her sisters. She couldn't be a concubine; she wanted to be the principal wife.
Mu Xinyan knelt on the ground, pondering her own little scheme.
