"Your Highness the Second Imperial Prince, there is no need for you to personally welcome her. I heard that the princess is a crude woman who grew up in the countryside." One of the Second Imperial Prince Dugu Qian's bodyguards spoke up for the Second Imperial Prince.
Later Qin's eldest prince's mother was only a lowly palace maid. It was impossible for her to inherit the throne.
If it wasn't for Dugu Xiu seizing the position of Crown Prince, Dugu Qian would definitely be the emperor of Later Qin. However, the third prince, Dugu Xiu, overtook him and seized the throne.
Now, he was about to marry a commoner's woman, and the second prince had to welcome him with such great ceremony. In the eyes of these guards, this was clearly a disgraceful thing.
Moreover, according to the Crown Prince's spies, this "fake princess" was vulgar and had a violent temperament. It was said that she had angered Dugu Qian many times.
How could such a woman become the empress of Later Qin?
"What do you know? I just want to personally test her and see what kind of woman my good younger brother has chosen." Dugu Qian had already seen the wedding procession on the shore.
Dugu Xiu stood proudly at the front of the procession.
"Your Highness, I, Dugu Qian, am here to welcome you." The second prince walked onto the shore and respectfully bowed to Dugu Xiu.
"We're all family. Second brother, there's no need to be so polite." Dugu Xiu nodded.
Dugu Qian's gaze moved to the phoenix carriage behind Dugu Xiu.
After noticing Dugu Qian's gaze, Dugu Xiu's lips curled into a calculating smile. How could he not know Dugu Qian's intentions?
Dugu Qian must have already heard the news and wanted to test what kind of woman the future "Crown Princess" was.
"Your Highness, I've long heard that the Eastern Capital is a blessed land with outstanding talents. The women born there are also peerless beauties. I don't know if I have the honor of seeing the Crown Princess' appearance today." Dugu Qian had a humble appearance.
"Second brother, you flatter me. Since second brother wants to see her, Sheng 'er, come down." Dugu Xiu walked to the phoenix carriage and stretched out his hand.
His voice was unprecedentedly gentle, startling Dugu Qian.
There was no movement from the phoenix carriage. Dugu Xiu's hand awkwardly raised there.
A cold smile appeared in Dugu Qian's eyes.
Dugu Xiu was indeed a little angry. He cursed in his heart. This woman really treated this crown prince's words as nothing.
Just as Dugu Xiu was about to retract his hand, a slender hand reached out from the phoenix chariot and placed it on his hand. A woman came down from the chariot.
The woman was dressed in a wine-red palace dress. Her skin was as translucent as jade. She had a graceful figure and a pair of intoxicating eyes.
The woman was not old, about fourteen or fifteen years old. This was the best age for a young girl to transform into a woman, causing her to exude a unique aura.
Is this the rumored "Second Princess of the Eastern Imperial Family?"
Dugu Qian didn't know if he should be disappointed or shocked. Donghuang Sheng's image and temperament were obviously different from what he had heard.
Gudu Xiu's eyes were filled with shock.
He didn't expect that Yun Sheng's words and actions were no different from a standard royal princess.
Donghuang Ling 'er, on the other hand, gave Yun Sheng a satisfied hand gesture.
Although Yun Sheng was dissatisfied with Dugu Xiu, she also understood that the trip to Qin Later Days was very important. As the crown prince's wife, she represented the Eastern Capital. If her words and actions were not good, the Eastern Capital would definitely be implicated.
Before she could find a way to resolve her longing for Dugu Xiu, she had to get along with him peacefully.
Dugu Xiu was very satisfied with Yun Sheng's performance. However, when he turned his head and saw the shocked expression of the second prince, Dugu Qian, he became somewhat displeased.
He was already starting to regret agreeing to meet Yun Sheng with Dugu Qian.
Dugu Xiu coughed a few times in dissatisfaction. Only then did Dugu Qian retract his gaze.
Dugu Xiu, what kind of luck does he have to actually be able to pick up such a beautiful imposter?
In Dugu Qian's mansion, there were many beauties from various countries. However, there wasn't anyone as beautiful as Donghuang Sheng.
However, although Dugu Qian admired her, he didn't forget the purpose of this trip.
"Crown Princess, you must be tired from the journey. Crown Princess, please come with us. Snacks and tea have already been prepared on the boat." Dugu Qian welcomed them onto the boat.
No matter how comfortable the carriage was, the fatigue from the journey was still very tiring. Moreover, Yun Sheng's Dharma Soul was sealed, so even her meditation was greatly reduced. After rushing for over ten days, her back was indeed aching.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, Dugu Qian started to chat with them.
Different from Dugu Xiu's indifference and taciturnity, the second prince, Dugu Qian, was very good at chatting. While he was concerned about the crown prince and crown princess's journey, he also introduced the scenery along the Ao River.
Yun Sheng also listened with great interest.
Halfway through, Dugu Qian suddenly asked, "Crown Princess, I heard that you were reduced to commoners in your early years?"
Without waiting for Yun Sheng to speak, Dugu Xiu already interrupted, "Sheng 'er's life was rough. She was adopted by her foster parents when she was young. However, her foster parents had already passed away a few years ago."
Dugu Xiu had already verified this with Yun Sheng. This was to prevent Dugu Qian and the other factions in Later Qin from putting effort into Yun Sheng's background.
Yun Sheng grabbed a snack and ate it with great relish. Dugu Xiu would take the bullet for her anyway. She could already tell that this Dugu Qian and Tang Yuan's second prince were the same kind of people. They were the classic type of people who hid a knife behind a smile.
"I see that Crown Princess doesn't seem to know martial arts." Dugu Qian still didn't give up.
Dugu Qian saw that Yun Sheng's skin was soft and tender, and the joints of her hands and feet were also very petite. He could tell at a glance that she had never learned martial arts.
In a large country like Later Qin that revered martial arts, it would undoubtedly be very embarrassing if the Crown Princess didn't know martial arts.
"Sheng 'er doesn't need to know martial arts. This crown prince doesn't like women who wield swords and spears." Dugu Xiu seemed to have heard the sarcasm in Dugu Qian's words, so he interrupted.
"Then may I know which magic academy Crown Princess studied in?" Dugu Qian remembered that Dongdu's eldest princess, Donghuang Ling 'er, was said to have studied in the continent's elite magic academy.
Since she didn't know martial arts, she should have studied magic before.
"I did study magic for a few years when I was young. However, I don't know how to do it now." Yun Sheng glared at Dugu Xiu.
"Sheng 'er had a serious illness in the past, and her magic soul was affected. Therefore, she can't use magic now." Dugu Xiu enjoyed Yun Sheng's roll of the eyes very much. He explained unhurriedly.
Dugu Qian was shocked.
Dugu Xiu was also careless. All these years, he had pretended to be a good son in front of his imperial father. He didn't expect that this time, he would be so stupid as to marry a trashy Crown Princess who didn't know martial arts or magic.
This kind of woman, other than having a good appearance, had no other good points.
Later Qin's emperor, Dugu Sheng, would probably fly into a rage when he saw her.
Dugu Qian revealed a somewhat disdainful expression.
