After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Princess Changning stood there at a loss, her eyes filled with tears but she didn't dare to cry, and she didn't know what to say.

She had just been celebrating her escape from that villain Cheng Huaifeng, and had received permission from her father to leave the palace and start her own residence. Seeing that her princess residence was about to be renovated, her future life would be free and happy!

She really didn't expect that she would be sent to South Vietnam to marry!

Changning was speechless, but Emperor Jingyou spoke coldly, "Let's not talk about whether Daqing will send a princess for marriage. Humph, so this is Nanyue's sincerity! Princess Lanzhi, did the King of Nanyue send you to Daqing for peace talks, or to humiliate our Daqing Dynasty?"

"From the moment you entered the hall, you didn't have the demeanor of a defeated nation!"

"The men of Daqing are not cowards, and I am not a fool. If you are not sincere about peace talks, leave as soon as possible!"

The eldest prince looked at Emperor Jingyou in astonishment, not knowing why his expression changed.

Princess Lanzhi's expression was no longer relaxed. She stood up and respectfully performed the etiquette of a Daqing woman. "Your Majesty, please calm down. We have no intention of humiliating your country. Whether it's peace talks or Daqing sending the princess to South Vietnam for marriage, both are open to discussion. We are here for this very reason. Peace talks will greatly benefit both our countries. Your Majesty, please do not ruin this hard-earned opportunity over such a trivial matter."

The eldest prince tried to persuade him, "Father, please calm down."

Emperor Jingyou gave the eldest prince a deep look and said in a cold voice, "Ye'er, you disappoint me. You didn't understand what the King of Chu meant just now. He was talking about the dignity of Daqing, but you just thought he was making trouble to prevent his own sister from marrying!"

The eldest prince widened his eyes in astonishment, and only then did he realize why Emperor Jingyou was so angry.

Yes, he is the prince of Daqing and should stand on Daqing’s side!

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I only thought about the success of the peace talks. Please punish me!" Cold sweat broke out on his back.

Emperor Jingyou was silent for a moment before speaking, "Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

Shen Yanli spoke meaningfully, "If I remember correctly, Princess Lanzhi is the legitimate daughter of the current King and Queen of Nanyue. Rumor has it that Princess Lanzhi of Nanyue is extremely beautiful and radiant, as beautiful as a fairy. She is the most beautiful woman in Nanyue. Not only is she the apple of the King and Queen's eye, she is also deeply loved by the people of Nanyue."

Shen Yanli chuckled as he looked at Princess Lanzhi. "The King of Nanyue sent his most beloved and noble princess to Daqing for marriage. His sincerity towards our country is truly invaluable."

After all, Shen Yanli had been the crown prince for many years and was familiar with the countries surrounding Daqing. He was especially concerned about the Xiongnu and Nanyue who were eyeing Daqing covetously. Therefore, he knew something about the royal family of Nanyue.

"That Lord Xiahou just now should be the princess's uncle, right? The Nanyue Xiahou family is the princess's maternal family. Lord Xiahou is a good uncle for defending Princess Lanzhi so much."

Shen Yanli's words not only changed Princess Lanzhi's eyes, but also made Lord Xiahou's expression become solemn.

Princess Lanzhi said softly, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to know our country so well. My father sent me to Daqing to marry a princess. This really shows our country's importance and sincerity in this peace negotiation."

As she spoke, her eyes flickered towards Changning and she chuckled softly.

The laughter was calm and without any emotion, but everyone seemed to hear the disdain in the princess's laughter.

As a legitimate princess, she was able to come to Daqing to marry a foreign princess, but Princess Changning was unwilling to go to Nanyue to marry a foreign princess. The difference in status was obvious.

Changning panicked. She even wanted to stand up and tell her father that she was willing to marry. How could she let her actions bring shame to Daqing?

Sensing her intention, the virtuous concubine tightly grasped her wrist, her burning eyes filled with disdain, and shook her head gently at her.

Seeing Princess Lanzhi's look and laughter, Shen Yanli's calm expression turned cold. "The King of Nanyue is indeed sensible. He knows very well what attitude a defeated nation should have. Princess Lanzhi, please don't ruin your father's good intentions."

Anyone could hear the arrogance in Shen Yanli's words.

The faces of the South Vietnamese delegation changed. How could they tolerate such an insult to their country's Holy Emperor?

But Princess Lanzhi waved her hand gently, and all the envoys from South Vietnam fell silent.

Shen Yanli and Emperor Jingyou's expressions changed slightly when they looked at her.

There must be something behind the fact that a princess who married into a foreign kingdom could have such majesty.

Shen Yanli said calmly, "Father, since the Kingdom of Nanyue has so sincerely sent its legitimate princess to marry, why not finalize Princess Lanzhi's marriage today?" His gaze passed over the Second Prince, pausing briefly on the First and Fifth Princes. "Right now, the First and Fifth Brothers still don't have princesses. Which of them do you think is suitable?"

Emperor Jingyou was slightly taken aback, not knowing what he meant, but he continued, "That depends on which of my sons Princess Lanzhi favors more." He suddenly smiled, "Since the King of Nanyue is so sincere, I can't lose. Now that my two princes are not engaged, the choice is left to you, Princess."

Princess Lanzhi, "..."

Is this called choice?

The envoys from South Vietnam cursed in their hearts, but since the princess didn't say anything, they didn't dare to say anything.

Princess Lanzhi didn't look panicked at all, and her voice remained gentle, "Since Lanzhi is here for a marriage, please let Your Majesty decide."

Emperor Jingyou looked at his two sons, as if he was thinking about which one was more suitable.

The fifth prince said hurriedly, "Father, let me forget it for now. I just lost my fiancée and haven't recovered yet. Besides, my eldest brother is the oldest among us, so naturally he should come first. How can I, as his younger brother, compete with him for his wife?"

Everyone who knew the truth was speechless. The Fifth Prince spoke as if his fiancée had just died, but Xiao Mingyue was still alive and well.

The eldest prince was about to speak when Shen Yanli interrupted him, "My eldest brother escorted Princess Lanzhi all the way to Daqing. They are familiar with each other. He is indeed a better choice than the fifth brother."

Emperor Jingyou clapped his hands and made his decision. "Well, Ye'er is indeed more suitable. Therefore, I grant you a marriage with Princess Lanzhi." He said to the Minister of Rites, "Lord Zhao, your Ministry of Rites should put other matters aside for now and focus on the marriage of the eldest prince and Princess Lanzhi. Make sure they attend their wedding before the Nanyue delegation leaves."

Hearing Emperor Jingyou say this, the Fifth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at the eldest prince. What good was it if he had made great contributions? He still had to marry a foreign princess. How could his father choose a prince whose wife was a foreign princess to be the heir?
