The Ming Kingdom was located in the south, a land of many poisonous miasmas, so it was not as wealthy as the Shu and Yan Kingdoms. However, because the Ming Kingdom was skilled in the art of poison and witchcraft, it avoided being annexed by the other two kingdoms.
The Ming Kingdom sent a mission to the Shu Kingdom with Princess Kunyu, who was just of marriageable age; the intention of a marriage alliance couldn't be clearer.
"Princess, the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince are outside enjoying the scenery and reciting poetry."
Han Lingxi answered calmly and respectfully.
“The three of us can’t see anything inside, it’s not interesting at all. Let’s go out and take a look.”
Kunyu spoke up again, and Ruan Ning looked at Kunyu in surprise. Although everyone knew that Kunyu was there for a marriage alliance, she did not expect her to be so bold. Didn't she mean that she wanted to go and meet those men?
"Princess, perhaps this is somewhat inappropriate."
Han Lingxi carefully said that there was nothing wrong with her and Ruan Ning going out, since their husbands were there and no one could say anything. However, it was inappropriate for Kunyu, an unmarried woman, to go to a place where men gathered.
In her previous life, Kunyu had proposed such an idea, but the original owner rejected it. At that time, the original owner believed that since she was in charge of entertaining them, if they ruined her reputation, she, as the one who had not entertained them well, would inevitably be blamed.
Of course, the most important thing is that Kunyu can only marry a prince as his principal wife. Currently, only the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince do not have a principal wife. The original owner did not want the Crown Prince to have a princess as his principal wife.
It's not that the original owner was jealous and didn't want Mi Hang to have a principal wife, but rather that having a foreigner as the principal wife would affect the crown prince's future succession. After all, his principal wife would be the future empress. If the empress were a foreigner and gave birth to an heir with half-foreign blood, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Shu Kingdom.
The original owner stopped Kunyu, which naturally displeased Kunyu, a spoiled child. Later, at a palace banquet, she subtly mocked the Shu Kingdom for having no one to serve them, as they had sent a poorly entertained concubine to accompany them, which made the emperor quite dissatisfied with the original owner.
This time, Han Lingxi naturally wouldn't do anything that would be thankless and exhausting. If Kunyu really had no sense and fell for Mi Hang, then Mi Hang would naturally have a thousand ways to make Kunyu give up, and it wasn't Han Lingxi's place to worry about it.
"What's wrong with that? It's just going out to see the scenery."
Kunyu stood up and walked outside.
Han Lingxi and Ruan Ning exchanged a helpless glance, then got up and went out. Ruan Ning had a good impression of the Crown Prince's concubine who came from a poor background. The fact that she could laugh off Kun Yu's rude behavior showed that she was a broad-minded person.
If Han Lingxi knew what Ruan Ning was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud. She was not a magnanimous person. She just knew that Kun Yu would not have a good ending, so she treated what she did as a joke. She would naturally suffer in the future.
In her previous life, Kunyu eventually married the Fifth Prince. When Mi Hang ascended the throne, the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince launched a coup, and Kunyu ended up being imprisoned.
If even the Fifth Prince has ended up having to be subservient to his servants, then Kun Yu, the Fifth Prince's consort and a princess from a foreign tribe, will likely only have an even more miserable life.
After Kunyu went outside, she saw the royal family and envoys gathered together. As she walked over, she recited a poem to show off her talent.
Whether people felt she was really good at her studies or were just flattering her, most people praised Kunyu as a talented woman, which made Kunyu proudly raise her chin. Since her father and mother had asked her to choose a husband in Shu, she was determined to choose the best one.
