Princess Ziyun was not at all touched by the maid's concern. Instead, she felt a little annoyed.

Who is she? She is the noble Princess Ziyun of Yunning Kingdom. Even if the envoys came to deliver the surrender letter, it could not change her identity as a noble princess.

No matter how much favors Duke Xue Wenyu has done to Emperor Yanguo, he is not the Emperor's biological father.

She also found out clearly that the so-called First Rank Lady was just the niece of a former governor of Yan State, and her father was a concubine's daughter, and she was born outside the family.

There were rumors about how powerful the Lady of the First Rank was. She smiled and said, "It is said that a rabbit can become a tiger, and an ant can eventually become an elephant."

Therefore, she did not believe at all the legendary stories about the First Rank Lady that she heard along the way.

She is a princess, and marrying him is a blessing Xue Wenyu's ancestors couldn't even pray for. How could he not agree?

What a joke! Men's pursuit of power is crazy and persistent.

How could he give up being a royal consort and spend his whole life with a woman whose background is not very respectable? Would he be willing to do that? Who would believe it!

The reason why Xue Wenyu was chosen was mainly because this time it was he who led the army to not only recapture the city occupied by the Yunning Kingdom, but also led his troops into the border of the Yunning Kingdom.

When they first heard that the person sent by Yan State was Xue Wenyu, the ministers in the court of Yunning State began to worry. It was also at that time that Princess Ziyun heard this name.

He heard his own ministers praise him for his talent in both civil and military affairs, his courage and wisdom, and his achievements in extending his country over the years.

Most importantly, those people mentioned his appearance, saying that he was handsome.

So, when she heard her brother asking her to follow the diplomatic corps to the Kingdom of Yanguo for a marriage alliance, she blurted out that if they wanted a marriage alliance, they wanted Xue Wenyu.

Ziyun certainly understood that she was a sacrifice. Even if she was a sacrifice, at least her efforts should be worth it!

The current emperor of Yan State is a little brat and is not within the scope of selection.

She doesn't want to marry an ugly guy, or perhaps an old man who is nearly fifty years old, so of course she wants to choose the best and most suitable one.

Of course, this is the only benefit she can get for herself.

Princess Ziyun frowned and asked coldly, "Are you guys free? I'll say it again, I'm not a fallen phoenix. All of you are waiting with big eyes, I will let you see how the Duke submits to me. As for that First Rank Lady, if she is really powerful, she should be smart enough to ask to leave, otherwise, she should stay here as I am supposed to. Otherwise, I will make her live a life worse than death."

Mu Yingbao, who was cutting green onions in the palace, suddenly burst into tears. What happened? He hadn't cooked for a few days, and he couldn't stand cutting green onions?

"Please forgive us, Princess. We said the wrong thing." The maids were so scared when they heard the princess's cold tone that they immediately ran away.

Those who didn't say anything secretly blamed the two of them for being so mean. They had served the princess for so long and knew her character very well. Why were they still not feeling comfortable?

Is it because there are so few people following that the princess is reluctant to kill them?

The three words "reluctant" and "unwilling" do not exist at all for the princess.

In the princess's eyes, they are all worthless slaves.

"Whoever was so rude just now, go slap yourself in the face." Princess Ziyun spoke.

Ru Lin Da Ao, who was kneeling, was fine, he was just slapped in the face.

"Thank you, Princess, for your grace." The two who had been worried about their master kowtowed and thanked her, then raised their hands to slap themselves.

The master of the others did not say anything, nor did he dare to stand up. He just watched the two men punishing themselves in unison.

The master didn't tell them how many times to hit them, so they could only hit them mechanically. They didn't dare to give themselves any relief. They hit them hard, as if they were not hitting their own faces. After a few hits, their faces were swollen and the corners of their mouths were bleeding.

Their master, Princess Ziyun, had already entered the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

The even sound of slapping on the face outside did not disturb her rest at all. She fell asleep as if she was listening to a lullaby.

In fact, such scenes were often played out in the palace of Yunning State.

The maids kneeling on the ground suddenly thought, maybe it was because of the Eighth Princess's arrogant temper that the Emperor took this opportunity to let her come to Yan State for marriage!

If that's the case, aren't you afraid that her viciousness will ruin the reputation of Yun Ning Country?

When the sun was about to set, Mr. Gao, who was in charge of receiving the Yunning Kingdom's delegation, came to the inn again and asked them to prepare to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Prince Yun agreed and ordered someone to tell the princess. After all, women still need to dress up well before going out.

After Mr. Gao had notified everyone, he said he was waiting outside the post station.

Prince Yun and several of his entourage had a discussion in low voices while waiting for the princess.

"I thought we would be left alone for ten days or half a month, but he received us so soon? He even said he would host a banquet for us in the palace."

"Maybe, it's because the emperor is young? So, he doesn't have that kind of thought yet?"

"No, no, the emperor is young, but the civil and military officials around him are not young."

"What does that mean? Is it a Hongmen Banquet? Or is it just to embarrass us again in front of all the civil and military officials in the palace?"

Several of them were in charge of Yunning Kingdom's affairs with other countries. They had seen a lot, but when they came here, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Prince Yun was silent for a moment before speaking, "Now that we are here, why are we still guessing? After knowing their purpose, is there any other choice we can make?"

When the others heard this, they thought, that's right, now he has come to apologize and show his sincerity in surrender, no matter what happens, they have to face it head-on.

"Meh, actually, what I am most worried about is that person." Someone said with a sigh.

Although no one was named, everyone on the street knew who was being referred to.

According to the custom of Yunning State, officials would have to bring their female relatives to such banquets.

Then, the wife of Duke Xue should also appear at the banquet, right?

What should I do? With the princess' temper, she has a conflict with someone in front of her.

Everyone prayed in their hearts that there must be no trouble at the upcoming dinner, and they also hoped that the princess would consider the overall situation.

Soon, the person who went to report came back with a very strange look on his face.

"What's going on?" Prince Yun became worried when he saw it.

"Reporting to the prince, when I went to report to the princess, the maids were all kneeling outside, and two of them slapped themselves in the face. Their faces were swollen and blood was dripping from the corners of their mouths all over the floor."

When the people in the room heard this, they all shook their heads speechlessly.

I thought to myself that no matter which princess my emperor chose, he shouldn't choose this one. Isn't she here to cause trouble?

"Everyone, get up and help me dress up." The princess, who rarely lost her temper when she was woken up, soon came back with a very strange look on her face.

"What's going on?" Prince Yun became worried when he saw it.

"Reporting to the prince, when I went to report to the princess, the maids were all kneeling outside, and two of them slapped themselves in the face. Their faces were swollen and blood was dripping from the corners of their mouths all over the floor."

"Everyone, get up and help me dress up." The princess, who rarely lost her temper when she was woken up, ignored the two maids who were about to faint.

I will see Xue Wenyu soon, and maybe his first-rank wife, so I have to dress up nicely to see who the Duke looks at...
