If the Crown Prince isn't an option, then it's those two princes left. She only saw one today, and his looks were just so-so. Thinking back to when she left earlier today, that so-called Third Prince even glanced in her direction—had he already taken a liking to her?
She would feign modesty and wait until she met the other prince before making a decision.
Bao Xia didn't care about her fantasies, as long as she stopped coveting the crown prince of Qinglong Kingdom. As for the others, she didn't care, as long as they could get past the crown prince.
Mu Xinyan: "Bao Xia, I know I was wrong. Please let me get up. My legs are killing me."
Bao Xia shook her head: "No, Princess, you should stay kneeling. The Crown Prince didn't tell you to get up, so I dare not let you get up."
"Then why don't you go and ask?"
Bao Xia: "I have to keep an eye on you. If the Crown Prince tells you to get up, he will send someone to tell me."
Mu Xinyan was furious. She felt that even though she was not favored in the palace before, she was still a princess and had never been this angry.
Ever since she was sent out for a political marriage, she's been angry every single day. She can't win an argument or a fight, it's driving her crazy.
The two of them stood there, one standing and the other kneeling.
Two hours later, Bao Xia helped Mu Xinyan up and took her to the room to apply medicine.
Now, Mu Xinyan will have to stay in bed and rest for the next couple of days.
······
On the day of the welcoming banquet, after two days of rest, Mu Xinyan's legs were indeed able to walk normally again.
Early in the morning, the maid started dressing Mu Xinyan up, but Mu Xinyan couldn't find any clothes she liked.
Bao Xia, standing beside her, said, "Princess, today is a palace banquet, you must wear the palace attire of Tianzhu Kingdom."
It means that it's no use for you to choose; you must wear palace attire to today's welcoming banquet.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyan cursed inwardly, "Why do they have to control what I wear? How annoying!"
Bao Xia ignored her, took the princess's palace dress off the rack, and handed it directly to her.
Mu Xinyan had no choice but to take her maid behind the screen to change her clothes.
After they came out, Bao Xia led her out of the room. The carriage was already prepared outside, and Mu Xinyan and Bao Xia got into the back carriage. After they were seated, the carriage headed towards the palace.
Phoenix Prince's Mansion...
Feng Qinghuang was pulled up by Murong Wan early in the morning. Still half asleep, she had her face wiped casually by Tinglan before she started putting on makeup and getting dressed.
After tidying up, Murong Wan had a maid bring her a bowl of porridge. Feng Qinghuang woke up instantly upon smelling the food.
Murong Wan looked at her irritably: "So you won't open your eyes unless there's food?"
While eating, Feng Qinghuang replied, "Mother, isn't it good to be up early? Why did you get up so early!"
Murong Wan: "The envoys from India are almost at the palace, and you, the princess of Qinglong Kingdom, are still at home! We can't keep the envoys from India waiting for us."
Why did they enter the palace so early?
Murong Wan tapped her forehead: "You know, wouldn't it be better for the Indians to show their sincerity by arriving at the palace early? Besides, are you sure it's still early?"
Feng Qinghuang looked out at the sky and pouted, "It's still early, there's plenty of time before noon!"
Murong Wan chuckled and shook her head helplessly: "Hurry up, ancestor, your father can't wait any longer."
"Oh." Feng Qinghuang quickly finished her porridge, gently wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and pulled Murong Wan out of the room.
When she reached the door, she found her father and brother waiting for her, so Feng Qinghuang quickly called out to them.
"Father, brother has been waiting for a long time."
Feng Qingyun glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Feng Qingcang, who doted on his daughter, didn't take it to heart: "It's alright, my dear daughter. Come whenever you're done with your work. Father isn't in a hurry."
Feng Qinghuang chuckled and said, "Father is the best! Let's get in the carriage first."
Feng Qingcang nodded.
Feng Qinghuang pulled her mother into their private carriage, while Feng Qingcang and Feng Qingyun rode horses on either side to protect her.
Inside the carriage, Murong Wan held her daughter's small hand: "My dear daughter, although this palace banquet is ostensibly to celebrate the Emperor's birthday, there are also envoys from other countries present, so it can also be considered a welcoming banquet. Huang'er, remember to behave well and don't cause trouble. But if anyone dares to bully you, then give Mother a good beating, understand?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Don't worry, Mother, who can bully me? Don't you know how strong I am? Besides, I have Aqi here, no one dares to bully me."
Murong Wan nodded. She knew in her heart that her daughter wouldn't be wronged or get into any trouble. But how could she attend a palace banquet without any problems?
Feng Qinghuang thought to herself, since this was to celebrate the Emperor's birthday and her father and mother were the ones in charge, it wasn't her business. She could just focus on eating and figure out what could possibly happen!
Even if the Crown Prince and Princess of Tianzhu Kingdom came to marry, it wouldn't be her turn. After all, it's usually the princesses and princes who come for marriage alliances. She's just a minor princess, so it's not her place at all.
As the mother and daughter talked, the carriage sped towards the palace.
