Chapter 410 Annulled Engagement
"Your Highness, there's news from the Princess!"
"Oh?"
Ling Chu hurriedly walked in, holding an envelope in her hand.
The princess looked at him expectantly, but saw Ling Chu hand over the envelope with a strange expression.
"what happened?"
The eldest princess's eyes showed doubt.
Upon receiving the letter and opening it, the princess's expression instantly darkened upon discovering that it was written by herself.
After waiting for several days, this is it?
The eldest princess looked at Ling Chu, "Did the messenger bring any further messages?"
Ling Chu trembled as she replied, "Your Highness, no, I just delivered the letter and left!"
"Your Highness, perhaps the Princess hasn't quite recovered yet; after all, such news is far too shocking for her..."
"Is it that you can't accept it, or that you don't want to acknowledge me?"
The eldest princess looked at the old nanny, her eyes filled with majesty.
Shi Mama awkwardly explained, "Princess, please don't take it to heart. In my opinion, you should give the princess more time."
Now that the princess has been ordered by the Emperor to marry a foreign ruler, if you, Princess, go and help her out of this predicament, she will surely be grateful and acknowledge you as her confidante…”
They learned about Wu Weiwei's situation on their very first day in Beijing.
Originally, they didn't know how to resolve the conflict between the eldest princess and the princess, but unexpectedly, Emperor Mingcheng made such a foolish move. Although this marriage was a calamity for the princess, it was an opportunity for the eldest princess to recognize her.
"Yes, Princess, the Emperor has sent you a secret letter inviting you to the capital. He must have something to ask of you. Why don't you take this opportunity to have him clear the name of the Princess?"
This not only exempted the princess from the marriage alliance, but also let the world know that Wu Weiwei was not a country girl, nor was she someone's concubine who could be bullied at will, but the noble daughter of their eldest princess!
The princess frowned as she listened to their conversation.
She knew, of course, that it would be better to do it that way, but now that Vera had returned the original letter, it represented her attitude.
If I announce our relationship without her consent, will she blame me later?
While the eldest princess hesitated, the crown prince of Xiliang was already waiting outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Shao Zhan of the Western Liang Kingdom requests an audience with Your Majesty!"
Emperor Mingcheng, who was supervising the Crown Prince's review of memorials, was surprised.
With the marriage alliance just days away, is the Crown Prince of Xiliang unable to wait any longer?
Emperor Cheng's decision to send Wu Weiwei to marry a foreign ruler was certainly not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Before choosing a marriage partner, he investigated the prince from the Western Liang Kingdom and found that he seemed interested in the Wu family from Jade Deer City.
Wu Weiwei was once Lu Hanting's concubine. Even though she was divorced, he was unwilling to give her up, as can be seen from his willingness to accept the marriage he had arranged for Miss Liu.
Therefore, his choice to arrange a marriage between Wu Weiwei and the government can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Xuan!"
Soon, the Crown Prince of Xiliang entered the main hall.
"Shao Zhan, envoy from the Western Liang Kingdom, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
"Prince Shao, you may dispense with the formalities!"
Looking at Shao Zhan, whose brows were resolute and whose appearance was like that of a dragon and phoenix, Emperor Mingcheng sighed inwardly.
If the crown prince could be like this crown prince of Xiliang, he could entrust the Great Wei to him with peace of mind. It's just a pity...
These past few days he has been personally instructing the Crown Prince on how to handle government affairs, hoping that he will take it seriously and learn as soon as possible.
"Crown Prince Shao, may I ask what brings you to the palace today?"
Shao Zhan looked up.
I hesitated a little about what to say.
However, in order to consolidate his position as crown prince through marriage with Wu Weiwei, he ultimately chose to abandon the marriage.
"Your Majesty, I have come today to annul the engagement!"
