I traveled through time and space and became the favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess

While her father was questioning the two men, Mu Lingshuang was not idle either. She had been observing the two men very carefully as ordered by her mother. Then she found that the number one scholar Li Kaiyuan, who was praised by her mother for his brilliant literary talent and elegant gentlemanly demeanor, had looked at her several times with lustful eyes since she sat down.

As for the third place winner Ji Yun, although he did not peek, he looked openly.

Mu Lingshuang was immediately happy. She finally met someone brave enough.

Mu Lingshuang, in a good mood, stood up with a smile, first came to the top scholar Li Kaiyuan, smiled slightly, and immediately two of Li Kaiyuan's three souls were taken away by her.

Then Mu Lingshuang asked with a harmless look on her face:

"I've heard that the top scholar is both civil and military, I wonder if he can withstand a punch from me?"

Li Kaiyuan was stunned and at a loss for a moment:

"I wonder why the Fourth Princess said that?"

The Emperor of Qi, who knew his daughter's character well, reacted immediately and quickly scolded her:

"Shuang'er, don't be so presumptuous!"

Seeing that his father was anxious, Mu Lingshuang did not care and explained slowly:

"I'm not being presumptuous, Father. It's normal for these two to have some bumps and quarrels after their marriage. Isn't that normal? If he can't even take a punch from me, then he'll have to deal with changing consorts every now and then in the future. That would be so troublesome."

The Emperor of Qi, who had been led astray by his daughter without realizing it, did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he said. He even felt that what his precious daughter said made sense and nodded involuntarily.

Seeing that her father had no objections, Mu Lingshuang smiled even more happily.

So the remaining soul of Li Kaiyuan was also taken away.

"If Mr. Li can take my punch, I will consider whether to marry you." Mu Lingshuang's words seemed to be seeking Li Kaiyuan's opinion, but in fact, it did not allow for rejection at all.

"Please take action, Fourth Princess." Li Kaiyuan, who was in a dilemma, bowed slightly and could only stand with a gentle look.

Li Kaiyuan was able to fight his way out of the siege among tens of thousands of students, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Naturally, he had heard of the Fourth Princess's great reputation on the battlefield, but his mistake was that he was too conceited.

He felt that no matter how powerful the Fourth Princess was, she was just a woman. He had been well-read since childhood and was quite proficient in the six arts of a gentleman. No matter what, he should not be able to withstand a punch from the Fourth Princess, right?

As it turned out, he really couldn't catch it.

Mu Lingshuang always pays attention to speed, accuracy and ruthlessness when she attacks. Almost as soon as Li Kaiyuan stood up, the fist mixed with fierce offensive force came straight to his forehead.

The top scholar Li Kaiyuan, who wanted to fight with the fourth princess, fell down, and some red blood flowed from under his nose to his lips.

Looking at Li Kaiyuan who was knocked unconscious by her punch, Mu Lingshuang snorted coldly, and finally felt a lot more relieved.

When he turned to look at Ji Yun, the smile on his face brightened again, but he still looked harmless and asked:

"Would you like to try it, Mr.

In line with the principle of being open and honest, Ji Yun, who was admiring the grace and beauty of the royal princess Mu Lingshuang, froze for a moment before waving his hands frantically.

"No... no need. I... I think the princess is very good, but I am not worthy of her."

Ji Yun stepped back as he spoke. Due to extreme nervousness, his left leg accidentally tripped over his right leg, and he bowed deeply. How could one describe how embarrassed he looked?

The Emperor of Qi looked at the two candidates for the title of Prince Consort being ruined by his daughter again. He could only sigh helplessly and waved his hand at the tearful Ji Yun, the third place winner.

"You go down first."

The scholar who had been so elegant and handsome just now ran out of the hall as if he had been pardoned.

Mu Lingshuang smiled indifferently as she watched Ji Jun's embarrassed back as he left. She even "accidentally" kicked Li Kaiyuan twice when passing by, and then she met her father's headache-filled expression.

"Tell me, how are you going to explain this to your mother?" Emperor Qi asked while waving his hand to the young eunuch beside him, signaling him to throw out the person who was in the way.

Mu Lingshuang slowly sat down in the seat she had been in before, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly said:

"There's no rush for the Prince Consort's affairs. My people have received a tip-off that a plague has broken out in Xirong. I plan to go there in person to investigate."

In fact, the current situation in Xirong is far less serious than Mu Lingshuang said. The reason why Mu Lingshuang said this was just to divert his father's attention.

As she expected, the Emperor's expression changed immediately when he heard the word "plague". After hearing Mu Lingshuang's next words, his expression became even uglier:

"Nonsense! How can something related to the plague be a small matter? And you're still rushing forward."

Unlike the Emperor of Qi who spoke in a stern voice, Mu Lingshuang was still sitting leisurely in her seat, and even had the leisure to admire her freshly trimmed nails.

"Why is father so excited? Didn't I say it was just a suspicion, not confirmed yet?" Mu Lingshuang spoke slowly, secretly sighing in her heart that her hands were not only much bigger than those of an ordinary woman, but also much rougher because of holding the hammer for many years.

Even if you apply the imperial beauty cream, you can still feel the thick calluses.

Alas, it’s indeed not as good as the carefully maintained skin of a young lady from an aristocratic family! Mu Lingshuang sighed silently in her heart.

Emperor Qi was even more furious when he saw her absent-minded look:

"That's not OK."

Mu Lingshuang didn't care about her father's rage at all, and her expression was very calm.

"The envoys from the Western Rong have entered the border of our Great Qi, with the purpose of welcoming our princess in marriage."

The Emperor of Qi was stunned. A marriage alliance? To whom? The eldest princess and the second princess had been married for many years, and their child was already old enough to go to the study. Even the sixth princess, who was younger than Shuang'er, got married last month?

The Great Qi no longer had a princess? Where could he find another one for the Western Rong?

The bewildered Emperor Qi's gaze swept over Mu Lingshuang, who was sitting peacefully below him. He was suddenly startled and pointed at his most rebellious daughter, saying in disbelief:

"They don't want to marry you, do they?"

Because his daughter was too strong, he had never been able to arrange a marriage with her. After all, everyone wanted to marry a princess back, and no one wanted to bring back an ancestor.

His daughter is more difficult to serve than his ancestors. How could Xirong be so foolish as to marry such a living ancestor?

Facing the Emperor Qi's incredulous expression, Mu Lingshuang leaned back in her chair and said lazily:

"Father is wise."

After receiving Mu Lingshuang's almost affirmative answer, Emperor Qi still looked bewildered:

"But if a plague really breaks out there, even a marriage alliance won't save the situation."

Mu Lingshuang asked back:

"But what if they take advantage of the wedding to march straight in?"

Emperor Qi was stunned. This was very possible.

If a plague really breaks out on a large scale in Xirong, then the border with Daqi...

The Emperor of Qi had a very solemn expression on his face, having forgotten that they were discussing the selection of a son-in-law.

"what are you thinking?"
