"I have my own arrangements, you don't need to know." King Cang said softly, with a sly look in his eyes.

"But I really want to know~" The concubine kept on begging and acting coquettishly.

King Cang couldn't help laughing. He leaned close to his concubine's ear and whispered, "If you keep pestering me like this, I will punish you."

The concubine blushed when she heard this and lowered her head shyly. She understood what King Cang meant, so she said nothing more and turned away.

King Cang looked at his concubine's departing back and laughed secretly in his heart.

The second princess stood on the eaves, watching everything that happened in the house quietly. When she saw the prince being intimate with other women, she couldn't help but feel disgusted. This man was not only black-bellied, but also a romantic man. How could she marry such a man?

However, she quickly regained her composure. After all, she understood that her marriage was not just for her personal happiness, but for the whole Yue Kingdom and her mother. As long as she could contribute to the country, it didn't matter who she married.

Therefore, she decided to accept this marriage and silently told herself that she must do her best to play the role of a princess and gain more benefits for the Kingdom of Yue.

The second princess secretly returned to her room and prepared to rest with a heavy heart. Although she was worried about the future, she knew that she had a heavy responsibility and could not let the Kingdom of Yue down.

She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The figure of the prince and his complicated personality kept appearing in her mind.

She knew that this marriage would be a challenge, but she was determined to face it and work hard for the happiness of Yue State and her mother.

——Yue State

The person sent to Jing State by the Emperor of Yue was the eldest prince Li Yuheng, who was born to the Imperial Noble Consort.

The night before departure, Li Yuheng came to the imperial concubine's bedroom.

"Son, the journey to Jingguo is long, you must take good care of yourself." The imperial concubine held Li Yuheng's hand, her eyes full of reluctance and worry.

Li Yuheng gently patted the Imperial Concubine's hand: "Don't worry, mother. I will pay attention to my safety and complete the tasks assigned by my father and return safely."

The Imperial Concubine nodded, tears welling up in her eyes: "That's good, my son must come back safely. By the way, mother has already found several noble ladies for you, you can choose from them when you come back."

Li Yuheng was somewhat helpless, but still responded obediently: "Yes, mother. Your son will follow your arrangements."

The Imperial Concubine nodded with satisfaction, then took out a small box from under the pillow and handed it to Li Yuheng: "There are some self-defense powders and poisons in it. Keep them well. They may save your life at a critical moment. And this Ping An Fu is my mother's dowry. I pass it on to you now. I hope it can keep you safe and sound."

Li Yuheng took the box and the amulet, and was deeply moved: "Thank you, mother. I will definitely cherish them."

The Imperial Concubine touched Li Yuheng's face and said, "Silly boy, why are you still saying thank you to your mother? Well, it's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow."

Li Yuheng bowed to the Imperial Concubine and left the palace, returning to his own residence to pack his luggage. He knew that this mission to Jing State was a heavy responsibility, but with the support and blessing of the Imperial Concubine, he was confident that he could successfully complete the mission and return safely.

The next morning, Li Yuheng and his entourage set out on a journey to Jing State. Along the way, he was cautious and vigilant at all times. After several days of long journey, they finally arrived at the border of Jing State. Li Yuheng looked at the strange country in front of him and secretly made up his mind to complete the mission successfully and live up to the expectations of his father and mother.

After entering Jingguo, Li Yuheng was warmly received by the emperor of Jingguo. At the banquet, he witnessed the prosperity and prosperity of Jingguo, and also felt the gap between the two countries. He secretly thought about how to better promote the development of Yueguo and narrow the gap with other countries.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they began to discuss the specific details of the cooperation. The Yue people brought many precious gifts to show their sincerity. The Emperor of Jing proposed some conditions, the most important of which was marriage.

He came to Jing State this time to attend the wedding of the second princess of Yue State and the second prince of Jing State.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuheng decided not to express his opinion for the time being. He listened quietly to the negotiations between the two sides and observed the attitude of the Emperor of Jing. He found that the Emperor of Jing seemed to be quite persistent in the marriage, which made him feel a little uneasy.

The preparations for the wedding were going on in a busy and intense manner. Li Yuheng walked around the palace, communicating with the palace maids and eunuchs to learn about the customs and habits of the Yue Kingdom. In the process, he met a palace maid named Ling'er. Ling'er was smart and provided Li Yuheng with a lot of useful suggestions, which made the preparations for the wedding go more smoothly.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of the wedding. The second princess of Yue State learns that Li Yuheng has come to Jing State and brought her dowry.

In the wing room of the post station, the second princess said to Li Yuheng: "Brother, my sister is about to get married. I hope you can take good care of me and my mother."

Li Yuheng comforted her: "Don't worry, second sister, I understand."

The second princess wore a gorgeous wedding dress and bowed to Li Yuheng. Then, she was led by the matchmaker's hand and walked out of the post station.

Enter the sedan chair and sit upright, waiting for the matchmaker to shout "The bride and groom are getting into the sedan chair. Get up!"

Li Yuheng watched the second princess's sedan chair going farther and farther away, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. He thought of his responsibilities and mission, and became more determined to make Yue stronger.

The wedding was very lively, with the sound of music and ceremony. Li Yuheng attended the wedding as an envoy of Yue State. At the ceremony, he toasted with the officials of Jing State. On the surface, the atmosphere was harmonious, but he remained vigilant in his heart.

As the wedding progressed, Li Yuheng noticed something strange. He found that someone was secretly observing him, and the aura of these people was very strange, not like people from Jingguo. He continued to socialize calmly, while paying attention to the movements around him.

Li Yuheng was talking to the officials of Jing State without revealing his expression, but his eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of those mysterious people. He secretly thought about the purpose of these people, and clenched the wine glass in his hand slightly.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint fragrance. Li Yuheng's heart moved. He had smelled this fragrance in Yue State before. It was a special spice that only members of the royal family were qualified to use.

He followed the source of the fragrance inconspicuously and saw a pretty woman smiling at him. There was a hint of ambiguity in the woman's eyes, and Li Yuheng instantly understood her intention.

He raised his lips slightly, pretended to be drunk, and deliberately walked towards the woman. The two chatted under the influence of alcohol, and Li Yuheng cleverly got the woman's identity and purpose. It turned out that she was a spy from Jing State, who was ordered to approach Li Yuheng to try to obtain information about Yue State.

After learning the truth, Li Yuheng laughed secretly in his heart. He decided to use this opportunity to counterattack Jingguo. So, he pretended to be interested in the woman and agreed to meet her another day.
