Before Fu Yuanzhou's letter was even sent out, his words had already spread throughout the camp.

Several princes who had also come to gain military merit came to ask him what had happened. Fu Yuanzhou did not hide the fact that Yin Yin's mother was from the Ming Dynasty and told him the whole story from beginning to end.

“My mother-in-law used to live in Yangliao. General Li has such great influence on the border, I don’t believe he doesn’t know anything.”

"Just last year, before the princess and I were married, they didn't send anyone over, did they?"

"But then, suddenly someone came out and said that my princess was a relative of their empress dowager, and that they wanted to make my princess a princess of their Ming Kingdom."

"Who cares about their little things? Besides, my mother-in-law's whole family is long dead. Would the Li family really harm their own daughter and raise a relative's daughter?"

"Even if they could do it, is the imperial concubine selection just a formality? Can't they even find out the true identities of the concubines who enter the palace?"

Fu Yuanzhou rattled off one sentence after another, finally concluding: "They must be trying to use this opportunity to harm my princess and son, to get involved with them. Even if my princess is innocent, they will still smear her with mud."

The princes who came to inquire about the situation exchanged glances, and to be honest, they also thought the guess was quite plausible.

If it were true, it would be normal for Princess Yangliao to keep quiet. How could it be like this, where something happened in the morning and a letter was sent in the afternoon, and Fu Yuanzhou was able to tell them everything in detail, while she was cursing people here?

The Third Prince suggested to Fu Yuanzhou: "This might be an opportunity. When the time comes, report the matter to Father Emperor. If he agrees, you, as the Princess Consort, might as well temporarily accept this title."

Seeing that Fu Yuanzhou was about to cause trouble, the Third Prince comforted him, saying, "They begged your princess to go to Mingjing. Although the two armies are facing each other and it is still unknown whether they will fight, your princess is leading people from the border to Ming in a fair and square manner, causing a great stir along the way. Even if they want to cause trouble, they have to be careful about the impact. Your princess will definitely be fine."

The Eighth Prince chimed in, "Indeed, perhaps in the future, your princess consort, Sixteenth Brother, will transform into a Ming princess. The reason we're standing here is precisely because Ming wants to break off the marriage alliance agreement."

Fu Yuanzhou's face darkened slightly: "No, no, what if the Ming Kingdom just happens to have no bottom line? Wouldn't my princess be in danger? We can't take that risk!"

The Eighth Prince's voice carried a hint of seduction: "Sixteenth Brother, you should think this through carefully. If your wife becomes a princess, her status will be completely different from what it is now."

"What use is it?" Fu Yuanzhou said with a look of disgust. "My queen is a legitimate citizen of the Li Kingdom. Isn't she much better than the princesses and noblewomen of the Ming Kingdom?"

The Eighth Prince was about to say something more, but the Third Prince chimed in first: "Sixteenth Brother is right. The good girls of our Li Kingdom are incomparable to anyone else. Besides, the Ming Kingdom is just trying to get something for nothing."

"If what the Ming spies said is true, they have promised the sixteenth brother and sister-in-law the title of a county princess right now, and once they go to the Ming capital, they will most likely become princesses."

"Look, here comes the princess from this marriage alliance between the two countries!"

Before the Eighth Prince could speak, Fu Yuanzhou angrily said, "So that's what they were planning. The Princess Consort is already my Princess Consort. As long as they confer the title of Princess Consort, we don't need to marry a real princess to her, and we can still fulfill the terms of the marriage alliance."

“If something happens between the two countries, our Li Kingdom will be constrained by the princess who married into the country, while they will have no worries because they have no feelings for my queen.”

"What a scheme! The Ming people are indeed cunning! Luckily, Third Brother, you are clever."

Seeing the admiration on Fu Yuanzhou's face, the Third Prince was actually quite pleased. He coughed lightly and instructed him, "You should write a letter to Father Emperor about this as soon as possible. Don't forget to write down all your guesses from earlier."

“Okay,” Fu Yuanzhou nodded, “I will definitely write it all down and will absolutely not take credit for Third Brother’s work.”

"It's just a guess, there's no merit in it," the Third Prince said, but he didn't really refuse.

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince also offered two suggestions, and Fu Yuanzhou promised to write down everything he said in the letter.

After seeing off all the eager princes, Fu Yuanzhou wrote a letter by lamplight, sealed it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then said to the servant who had been waiting for him, "When you get back, tell the Princess that I have done everything she asked me to do. Tell her to be careful at home and not to put herself in danger like she did this time."

The servant agreed and was about to leave when Fu Yuanzhou stopped him.

Fu Yuanzhou took out a thick letter from a box, quickly wrote a few more pages, and put it back into the envelope: "Remember to take this letter with you when you go back tomorrow morning, and give it to the Princess at the same time."

The next morning, the servants and the soldiers who were to deliver the letter back to the capital of Li Kingdom set off at the same time, but because of the distance, Yin Yin was naturally the first to receive the letter.

Yinyin opened the letter, but put it down after reading only one page.

"Your Highness?" Qingxiao was a little confused. "Did His Highness write something difficult? You only read one page before putting it down."

“It’s not that I’m making things difficult,” Yin Yin said, picking up the letter again and forcing herself to continue reading.

It wasn't that Yin Yin wanted to rest after reading just one page; it was just that Fu Yuanzhou's letter was far too cheesy. If there were a contest for the most succulent person in the world, Yin Yin would definitely sign him up immediately.

Yinyin would watch for a while, then put it down and compose herself before continuing.

I finally made it to the last few pages, albeit intermittently.

At this point, the conversation revolved around Jiang Jia and his accomplices, as well as comforting Yin Yin.

Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, these few pages won't make you want to crawl on your feet after just a few sentences.

Knowing that Fu Yuanzhou had sent a message back to the capital, Yin Yin didn't do anything extra. Apart from the fact that several people were locked up in the mansion's prison, her daily life was pretty much the same as usual.

After some time, the emperor's message reached the border.

Since the Empress Dowager of Ming claims to be Yin Yin's aunt and says that Yin Yin should personally go to Ming to bestow upon her the title of Princess, then this relative must be met.

However, the timing of their meeting is not up to the Ming Dynasty.

The Li Kingdom only accepted the Princess of Yangliao as an envoy to accompany the Ming Kingdom on its journey to welcome the bride.
