AWB Chapter 202 Trying to Steal Her Man
Chapter 202 Trying to Steal Her Man
"I am willing to promote anything that is conducive to peace between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom, but not unconditionally."
Song Siyao looked at Shen Xuan, who was gloating, and spoke in a cold, certain tone.
Shen Xuan sneered and said contemptuously, "Everyone says that Princess Youfeng is kind, selfless, and compassionate, and cares about all the people. But it turns out she is just a selfish little person. The things you want to accomplish are things that benefit you. You won't do anything that doesn't benefit you. You don't care about the people; you only care about your own interests."
"Prince Yu!" Emperor Changlong roared, "How dare you speak like that?!"
“Father, the marriage between Princess Qingyan and Prince Ling is most beneficial to both Great Zhou and Yan Kingdom. However, Princess Youfeng and Prince Ling have a secret affair and are unwilling to facilitate this marriage. I believe her actions are inappropriate.” Once the arrow is released, there is no turning back. Shen Xuan is determined to put Song Siyao to death.
Anyone who dares to endanger the safety of the nation or harm the interests of the people will become a sinner of the Great Zhou Dynasty and be infamous for eternity.
"We will not discuss the marriage alliance again today, and we must not bring it up again!" Emperor Changlong wanted to protect Song Siyao and Shen Pei.
"Father..." Shen Xuan still refused to give up.
Emperor Changlong stared at Shen Xuan without saying a word, releasing his imperial aura. Shen Xuan was startled and immediately shut his mouth.
Without mentioning the marriage alliance, they only chatted about current events and soon the hall was bustling again.
The palace banquet did not end until late at night.
Song Siyao was responsible for escorting Wen Yuan and Princess Qingyan back to Canglan Pavilion.
Upon arriving at Canglan Pavilion, just as Song Siyao was about to turn and leave, Princess Qingyan suddenly spoke up, "Princess Youfeng."
"Is there something you need, Princess Qingyan?" Song Siyao asked.
"Prince Ling must love you very much, right?" Princess Qingyan looked at Song Siyao with a calm expression.
Song Siyao made no attempt to hide it and bravely admitted, "Yes, we love each other very much."
Princess Qingyan smiled, a hint of desolation in her expression, "How wonderful."
"If the princess has nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Song Siyao didn't want to say more.
"Don't worry, I won't marry Prince Ling," Princess Qingyan said, watching Song Siyao's retreating figure.
Song Si replied, "Princess Qingyan, you will find your happiness."
She knew that Shen Pei would not marry Princess Qingyan.
Princess Qingyan could find happiness again by marrying anyone else, but not by marrying Shen Pei.
Before Princess Qingyan came to the Great Zhou, Song Siyao had investigated her and knew about her story with that warrior.
Everyone has their own limitations in life; if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Princess Qingyan has responsibilities to bear, and happiness is a luxury for her.
Princess Qingyan watched Song Siyao leave, and only returned to her room after her figure had completely disappeared.
She opened the door and, by the moonlight, saw Wen Yuan sitting at the table.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Princess Qingyan was startled.
Wen Yuan's expression remained as gentle as ever, revealing no emotion, and his tone was also very soft, "You don't plan to marry Prince Ling?"
Princess Qingyan nodded, "Yes."
Wen Yuan looked at Princess Qingyan, his gentle expression softening slightly. "Your mission is to marry the Emperor of Great Zhou. Now that the Emperor has rejected you, Prince Ling is your best option. You must marry him."
“Brother, you saw it today: Prince Ling’s heart belongs only to Princess Youfeng. If we force a marriage between us, it will only end in failure, just like the Great Zhou Emperor’s,” Princess Qingyan said. “Why not choose one from among the other princes and the Empress…”
Wen Yuan interrupted her, "This matter is not open to discussion. I have the final say. You are responsible for carrying out the orders. From now on, your target is Prince Ling."
Princess Qingyan pursed her lips. She had no choice but to obey. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Wen Yuan added a warning, "Qingyan, you'd better not cause any more trouble! Otherwise, no one can protect you!"
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room and looked into the distance; he had his plans.
If Princess Qingyan and Shen Pei were to marry, he could then marry Song Siyao. Such a union would be more conducive to peace between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom, and he believed Emperor Changlong would agree.
If he could marry Song Siyao, he would be like a tiger with wings, and the throne of Yan would surely be his in the future.
Tonight's banquet did not lead to a marriage alliance between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom. Three days later, Shen Heng hosted a tea party, inviting Wen Yuan and Princess Qingyan to appreciate flowers, admire paintings, taste tea, and recite poems.
