Chapter 404 Taking her as a concubine
Chapter 404 Taking her as a concubine
Wu Weiwei stared fixedly ahead.
"I will neither hide nor run away; I will go and persuade the Crown Prince of Xiliang to abandon the marriage alliance!"
Recalling the matter that Crown Prince Shao had discussed with her that day, Wu Weiwei lowered her eyes.
Since this matter was caused by the Western Liang Kingdom, then let them resolve it.
If Shao Zhan wanted to cooperate with him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to refuse the marriage proposal.
Wu Weiwei was thinking about this.
When Shao Zhan, who was at the post station, heard that the emperor was sending Wu Weiwei to the Western Liang Kingdom for a marriage alliance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. This scene was witnessed by Princess Yazhen, who was just entering.
snort!
She had noticed long ago that her brother, the Crown Prince, was interested in Wu Weiwei.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Wei, catering to her preferences, bestowed her upon his brother. Wouldn't this be exactly what Wu Weiwei wanted?
Princess Yazhen thought that all the women in the world wanted to marry the outstanding Crown Prince, but she didn't realize that Wu Weiwei had no interest in Shao Zhan at all.
"Brother Crown Prince, is this what you wanted?"
They easily brought Yu Lu back into the fold. With Wu Weiwei as their cash cow, they believed that their father would surely praise their elder brother, the Crown Prince, highly upon their return.
Upon hearing his sister's voice, Shao Zhan composed himself.
"Yazhen, why don't you ever knock before coming to my room?"
A princess of a nation, yet she doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette.
Shao Zhan shook his head, feeling genuinely worried about the Empress's education.
Thinking of the Empress, Shao Zhan felt a tightness in his chest.
Ya Zhen is lively and cheerful. Although she is the Empress's daughter, she prefers to be close to her mother.
But she is, after all, the Empress's daughter. If her mother confronts the Empress, she will definitely side with the Empress.
Shao Zhan sighed.
If she hadn't insisted on coming along, I really wouldn't have wanted to bring her to the Great Wei.
So that the Empress wouldn't have to worry all the time about her being instigated by him.
"Alright, Your Highness, don't be angry. I won't do it again next time..."
Ya Zhen clung to Shao Zhan's arm and acted coquettishly.
"You, you..."
"By the way, Crown Prince, you haven't said yet whether you really want to marry Wu Weiwei?"
Although Wu Weiwei was extremely beautiful, she was just a divorced woman, how could she be worthy of her noble prince brother?
With such a status, she wasn't even worthy of carrying the shoes for her elder brother, the Crown Prince.
But she couldn't say this in front of her brother, the Crown Prince, since he might genuinely like her.
Hearing Ya Zhen's words, Shao Zhan frowned.
Marry?
He doesn't have that idea yet.
At best, we can only take her as a concubine!
After all, his position in the Western Liang Kingdom was unstable. He had the support of his third brother from the Empress's maternal clan, and the wavering of the court officials.
The position of Crown Princess will likely be given to the powerful family that can help him ascend to the throne.
"Yazhen, you're still young, you don't need to worry about these things!"
Seeing Shao Zhan's expression, Ya Zhen immediately felt relieved.
It seems that the Crown Prince was not captivated by Wu Weiwei's beauty and can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.
"Then you must remember, Sister Hua is still waiting for you to marry her in Xiliang!"
Ya-zhen said playfully.
"Ha, you're the kind of person who loves playing matchmaker..."
As Princess Yazhen stepped out of the courtyard, a palace maid announced that Wu Weiwei had arrived.
She raised her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows, a smug look playing on her lips.
Is this because she learned she was about to marry her brother, the Crown Prince, and couldn't wait to come and cultivate their relationship?
When Wu Weiwei entered, she saw the princess of Xiliang waiting at the door.
"Greetings, Princess Yazhen."
"Oh, isn't this the newly appointed Princess Ping'an of the Great Wei Dynasty? What, have you come to visit my Crown Prince brother?"
Wu Weiwei raised an eyebrow and glanced at her indifferently.
"Yes, I have something to discuss with Prince Shao."
Seeing Wu Weiwei's haughty attitude, Ya Zhen felt very displeased.
“Wu Weiwei, even if you are granted the title of princess, you will still be an insignificant person in our Xiliang.”
My elder brother, the Crown Prince, already has a chosen Crown Princess. You can forget about becoming the Empress!
Princess Yazhen raised her chin and looked down at her.
Hearing her words, Wu Weiwei pursed her lips slightly but did not answer her.
Seeing that Wu Weiwei remained silent, Ya Zhen assumed that she disagreed.
"What, you don't believe me?"
With your looks, you might even become the Crown Prince's favorite concubine. That would be a favor to you!
Princess Yajin spoke with a condescending expression.
"You, you've absolutely outrageous!"
Their own daughter came to persuade Prince Shao to annul the engagement, and she had no interest in marrying into their Western Liang Kingdom.
But this damned princess actually insulted their daughter like that.
Ya Zhen looked at the maidservant beside Wu Weiwei who dared to look her directly in the eye, and a nameless anger rose in her heart.
How dare a lowly servant talk back to me? It seems that Wu Weiwei really doesn't take me, the princess of Xiliang Kingdom, seriously.
She looked at the two guards beside her.
"What are you looking at? This lowly servant has defied her superiors! Tie her up and deal with her as I see fit!"
Seeing that the guards were about to attack Lingfu, Wu Weiwei's brows furrowed.
"stop!"
However, the guards ignored Wu Weiwei's words and walked aggressively toward Lingfu.
Princess Yazhen watched this scene with great interest.
She wanted to see if Wu Weiwei could stop her from punishing her maid.
Just as their thick ropes were about to bend down on Lingfu, in the blink of an eye...
Suddenly, a blue figure flew out of the sky.
In the blink of an eye, before the two guards knew what was happening, their swords were broken by a powerful black sword.
The person naturally collapsed limply to the ground.
"This……"
Princess Yazhen was dumbfounded.
When she finally came to her senses, she screamed in terror, "Help! There's an assassin!"
Before she could even utter a couple of shouts, a black sword was pressed against her slender neck.
As soon as the black sword appeared, Wu Weiwei knew that Chunxiao had made her move.
Lingfu, who was standing there dumbfounded, was also taken aback by this sudden scene.
She looked at Chunxiao, who was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.
"Chunxiao, this... young lady, the guards that Steward Qing gave you seem to be very strong!"
I thought the twin guards Qingzhu found for her master were only good at some martial arts, but I didn’t expect them to be so strong!
Wu Weiwei returned her a smile and then nodded gently.
Princess Yazhen was dumbfounded by the reactions of the master and servant.
"You, you're all in cahoots..."
"So what if I am? Go ahead and bite me if you dare!"
Let alone bite her, she probably wouldn't even dare to nod now!
This time, it was Lingfu's turn to gloat and glare at her.
Doesn't she look down on herself, a lowly servant?
What, now that someone has a knife to her throat, why isn't she acting crazy anymore?
"Wu Weiwei, these swords don't know what's good for them. Tell her to put them down so we can talk things over..."
Looking at the sharp blade, it has to be said that Princess Yazhen was genuinely somewhat afraid.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to treat her like this.
If her mother were here, she would definitely make her mother kill them all!
Hearing Princess Yazhen's words, Wu Weiwei took two steps forward.
Princess Yazhen, you've misunderstood.
I am not here for you, but to see Prince Shao. Unfortunately, you seem to have a lot of prejudice against me.
To be honest, I have absolutely no interest in your brother's position as Crown Princess.
There's a saying that goes, "Why do women have to make things difficult for each other?"
Therefore, I don't want to argue with you too much about what happened today.
If you agree to a settlement, then nod your head, and I'll have Chunxiao release you..."
