The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 460 Marriage partner
But her sisters all married kings from countries to the south, such as Champa and the Lujiang region.

The kings of these countries treated their sisters with utmost obedience, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.

When she heard that she was to be married to a man from the Ming Dynasty.

She was still very happy.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was the strongest among the surrounding countries, so his future status would also be the highest. Who could have imagined that the Ming Dynasty would be like this?

At this moment, she looked at the messenger beside her and said.

"No, I won't marry him. Let's go back to the Khmer Empire!"

"I am a princess of the Khmer Empire. This is already a great favor to him. Who would have thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty are so despicable that they dare to hesitate!"

The Khmer princess believed that her Khmer Empire was not weak, and that being able to marry the Ming Dynasty and have only one concubine was already a huge concession. However, the Ming Dynasty's hesitation dealt a great blow to her self-esteem, and she was extremely angry.

The waiter standing nearby, upon hearing this, became extremely anxious and said...

"Your Highness, please don't do this! His Majesty and the others have already agreed to this. If we break off the engagement now, we won't be able to explain it to His Majesty!"

"If we anger the Ming Dynasty because of this, what should we do if they send troops to attack us at this time?"

The Khmer princess snorted coldly.

"If they dare to attack, we'll make sure they never return. Goryeo still has many soldiers and so many loyal generals. How could we possibly be afraid of them?"

Upon hearing this, the leader gave a wry smile; this matter was not as easy as they had imagined.

The Ming Dynasty is extremely powerful; at least for now, they are no match for it. Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.

Just then, someone came to report that someone had come to visit the Khmer princess on the orders of the royal grandson. Upon hearing the words "royal grandson," the Khmer princess frowned.

"Could it be someone sent by Zhu Xiong Ying?"

"As expected, I still have a lot of charm. Although Zhu Xiong Ying doesn't say much on the surface, he has now come to apologize to me!"

Thinking of this place, he felt extremely proud.

At this moment, the envoy beside him frowned and said.

"I'm afraid things aren't as simple as we think. I suspect that person isn't Zhu Xiong Ying, but another grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yun Wen!"

Princess Goryeo frowned upon hearing this. She had heard of Zhu Xiong Ying's reputation many times, but she had never heard of Zhu Yun Wen. Thinking of this, she asked in confusion.

"Who is Zhu Yunwen? Is he very famous?"

The messenger shook his head upon hearing this.

"This person's fame is far less than that of Zhu Xiong Ying, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty."

However, he was also a grandson of the emperor and had always wanted to contend with Zhu Xiong Ying. Although his power in the court wasn't particularly strong, his reputation was still quite good.

"Many civil officials in the imperial court have a good relationship with him!"

The Khmer princess's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"In that case, this is a good opportunity!"

"In other words, this person's strength is not that great, definitely not as strong as Zhu Xiong Ying. Moreover, this person is a grandson of the emperor, and he might actually be able to ascend to a certain position in the future!"

As for the support from those civil officials, that was an even better thing, as she was very clear about just how powerful those civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were.

With the support of these people, they might actually achieve great things. Thinking of this, his mind began to stir.

"Now that the imperial grandson's envoy has arrived, let's see what he has to say!" Upon hearing this, the envoy beside him felt extremely troubled.

"Princess, this is not a good idea. You are marrying the Crown Prince, not a mere grandson of the Emperor. If this matter affects our alliance with the Ming Dynasty, it will be very troublesome!"

The princess of the Khmer Empire snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter who I marry since we're all in the alliance. On the contrary, I feel that this prince is more extraordinary!"

"Don't report that. We've heard before that the civil officials in the Central Plains are incredibly powerful, and sometimes even their emperors have to give them some leeway!"

"Since this person can gain the support of those civil officials in the imperial court, he must have some ability!"

The envoy sighed upon hearing this, for he understood perfectly well what was going on.

Zhu Xiong Ying would never let the Khmer Empire go, no matter what.

The reason for doing this now is simply to keep him calm.

Then they sent envoys to unite with other people, and heard that several countries to their north had already united to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

This excited them greatly; if they could unite with these guys, their side would be protected.

However, those countries have no connection with them, and to get to their place, one would have to cross one mountain after another, which is too far.

All of this will take time, but the Ming Dynasty may not be able to wait for them. Therefore, the most urgent task is to stabilize the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps this grandson of the emperor can give them different expectations.

Not long after, Huang Zicheng went inside.

"I am Huang Zicheng, and also the teacher of Prince Yunwen!"

"These two must be the princess and envoy of the Khmer Empire. As expected of princesses from a great nation, their demeanor is truly extraordinary!"

The Khmer princess was extremely pleased to hear this. Although the man looked somewhat frail, he spoke very pleasantly, much better than those like Zhu Xiong Ying.

After reaching this place, she said, forcing a smile.

"You flatter me, sir. May I ask what brings you to see this princess?"

Huang Zicheng frowned after seeing these words.

Is this princess really so ill-mannered? Doesn't she know to offer him a place to sit? Upon closer reflection, he realized that the Khmer Empire was, after all, just a small, barbarian country, and there must be many shortcomings in their etiquette. After considering this, he didn't dwell on it and said with a smile.

"Of course there is something, and it's good news. I've heard that Princess, you wish to form a marriage alliance with our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Who is the person to whom this marriage is arranged?"

Upon hearing this, the Khmer princess's eyes lit up. Could it be that her idea might actually come true, or that it directly coincided with theirs?

Thinking of this, he sighed and said.

"Of course it's His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this is also for the sake of peace between the two countries!"

"Now that the two countries are at war, and the people are displaced, I, the princess, cannot bear to see this. Even if it means being in danger, I must persuade His Highness the Crown Prince to stop the fighting!"

Upon hearing these words, Huang Zicheng's eyes lit up.

The princess was quite sensible in this regard, and her idea was actually realized later on.
