Chapter 214: Chapter 212: No Benefit At All_1

Inside the luxurious carriage of Xiliang.

Princess Li Tianfu wore a thin veil, revealing only her charming eyes. She lay languidly inside the fragrant carriage, clutching a storybook Li Zhijie had collected for her from various kingdoms, distracted and seemingly preoccupied.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Jin and the God of Slaughter, Young General Bai, have both arrived. King Yan requests that you prepare immediately and head over. If you’re late, the Crown Prince of Jin might take offense.” The Xiliang eunuch spoke softly to Li Tianfu from outside the fragrant carriage.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianfu’s anger flared. She furiously threw the storybook in her hand. The spine of the book struck the pure gold auspicious beast incense burner on the wooden table, making a “clang” sound.

The palace maids inside the fragrant carriage immediately knelt down, trembling and not daring to speak.

Li Tianfu’s spoiled and angry voice came out from inside the carriage. “Take offense?! I see that Li Zhijie has been beaten to submission by the Jin Kingdom. I, the dignified legitimate princess of Xiliang, even if I don’t show up today, who can do anything to me? The Crown Prince of Jin arrives and immediately wants me to tidy up and present myself to him? He seems to have forgotten how my father passed away! I have no idea why my Empress Sister chose him to negotiate peace! He has disgraced us before other countries!”

The legitimate Princess of Xiliang, pampered by the Emperor and Empress since childhood, had never endured such grievances. Her eyes reddened instantly.

She had hundreds of reasons not to want to come for the marriage alliance. But her mother said that Xiliang and Nanyan had conspired to attack Jin first, and later, Jin defeated them with fewer troops. If they didn’t cede land or pay indemnities, a marriage alliance was inevitable. It was better for her to marry than sending an envoy.

Her mother also said that men conquer the world, and women conquer men. As long as she could win the favor of the Crown Prince of Jin, once he ascended the throne and she gave birth to a Crown Prince with Xiliang blood, Jin would essentially belong to Xiliang as well.

But why should it be her? She and her Empress Sister were both legitimate daughters from the same mother. Although she wasn’t as wise as her sister and couldn’t inherit the throne, when her sister inherited the throne, she at least deserved to be granted a title. Why should she have to marry for political peace? _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

The more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt. Li Tianfu simply nestled in the carriage without moving, tears welling up in her eyes. “Go and tell Li Zhijie that this princess is sick. If the Crown Prince of Jin wants to see me, let him come here personally!”

“Your Highness…” Lu Tianzhuo’s voice came from outside the carriage. “This servant knows that this matter has greatly wronged you. It’s understandable for you to be angry.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianzhuo’s voice, Li Tianfu quickly sat up. Her slender, jade-like fingers lifted the curtain of the fragrant carriage. Seeing the handsome and elegant Lu Tianzhuo standing outside the carriage, her eyes, already filled with mist, began to shed large tears.

“Your Highness, no matter how angry you are, you must endure it for the greater good…” Lu Tianzhuo raised his head and saw Li Tianfu’s tearful eyes staring at him sorrowfully. His heart ached slightly. Lowering his eyes, he took out a clean folded handkerchief from his chest and handed it to Li Tianfu with both hands.

Li Tianfu bit her lower lip, grabbed the handkerchief, released the curtain cord she was holding, and began wiping her tears with the handkerchief.

As she faintly smelled the scent of magnolia lingering on the handkerchief from Lu Tianzhuo, Li Tianfu felt somewhat calmer. She sternly ordered the palace maids inside the carriage, “All of you, get out! Lu Tianzhuo, come in and make some tea!”

Outside the carriage, Lu Tianzhuo clenched his hands and nodded. “Yes!”

Li Tianfu glared at the kneeling palace maids inside the carriage. “Hurry up and get out!”
