Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 169 My identity is not for you to doubt

After listening to Zhao Mu's words, everyone present really didn't know what to say.

Although Princess Zhongxiao was a little unhappy, Zhao Mu's reason for rejecting the Huyan family was also very good. Although the Huyan family is also called the king, in the final analysis, it is just a minister in name but not in reality.

The Dali Kingdom is located in the south of the sky. It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country by Duan Siping in the late Tang Dynasty. Although the national power cannot be said to be very strong, he still proclaimed himself emperor from the south. And the crown prince is the future emperor of Dali.

If Mu Wanqing next to Zhao Mu is really the princess of the family of the emperor's brother-in-law of Dali, her status is indeed not comparable to that of Zhongxiao Prince's Palace.

King Dongping looked Mu Wanqing up and down, feeling even more jealous. He hated himself for being inferior to the "bastard" from the concubine in front of him. The wife Zhao Mu had found was not only of noble status, but also of unparalleled beauty. It is not comparable to the "yellow-faced woman" in my family.

Even though Zhao Mu's words were true, no one present dared to believe them. But they couldn't find any evidence to refute, so they were all speechless.

Concubine Chai winked at her daughter, and then Zhao Jing went to invite Princess Shoukang to come.

Although Zhao Mu bluntly rejected the marriage, the matchmaker was Princess Shoukang, so she had to be informed about this matter.

What's more, everyone now has doubts about Mu Wanqing's identity.

This is because Mu Wanqing has been with her mother Qin Hongmian since she was a child, and she is used to traveling around the world. Her speech and behavior are not at all different from those of ordinary ladies, and even seem a bit vulgar. She looks more like a wild girl from the countryside, not like a woman raised in a house.

Compared to Mu Wanqing, A'Zhu Cai next to Zhao Mu has a more ladylike temperament.

Not long after, Zhao Jing came to the side hall with her mother-in-law, Princess Shoukang.

Although Princess Shoukang met Mu Wanqing before, the two of them followed Zhao Mu. She thought they were just the servant girls around Zhao Mu. She didn't expect Mu Wanqing to have such an identity.

Princess Shoukang came forward and looked Mu Wanqing up and down, and then asked: "Is the girl really the daughter of the emperor's brother in Dali?"

Zhao Mu couldn't help but admire Princess Shoukang's majesty. Compared to this real princess, the aura of the two little girls around him is much weaker.

Mu Wanqing did not answer, but glanced at Zhao Mu. She felt very uncomfortable facing Princess Shoukang's domineering attitude, but she didn't want to cause trouble to Zhao Mu, so she gave Zhao Mu a look.

Zhao Mu replied: "Wan'er, whatever Her Highness the Princess asks you, you should answer it."

Mu Wanqing found confidence from the look in Zhao Mu's eyes. Although she still couldn't afford the airs of "eldest lady", she still said confidently: "Zhao Lang just said it, and it's true. Princess. What else does Your Highness ask?”

Now it was Zhao Mu's turn to be awkward. He didn't know why the word "Zhao Lang" became more and more unpleasant to his ears.

Listening to Mu Wanqing's domineering attitude, Zhao Jing looked at this "wild girl" and said, "Princess Duan, didn't the royal family of Dali teach etiquette? My mother-in-law is the princess of the Song Dynasty and the king of Shang. Princess, in terms of age, she is also your elder, so when speaking to your elders, you should always be more humble."

Mu Wanqing was about to reply when she heard this, but A'Zhu stepped forward and said, "Madam, what you said is wrong. Although Dali is a small country in the south, it is not a vassal of the Song Dynasty. My princess is the emperor's younger brother. Female, her status is no worse than that of the Song Dynasty. And whether she is an elder or not, we have to wait until my princess gets married to Mr. Zhao. Furthermore, since you doubt the identity of my princess, please ask your country’s Honglu Temple just needs to send envoys to Dali Kingdom for verification. My princess has no obligation to be suspected by people here!" Zhao Jing looked at A'Zhu and then said: "Princess Duan! You are the princess and I am also the princess. Is this how my servant talks to me?"

Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Mu and shouted: "Xiao Mu! A servant of Dali Kingdom has insulted our Dongping Palace. Why are you mute!"

Zhao Mu said at this time: "What my sister said is wrong. After the death of my father, the title of King Dongping has long been transferred to me, and now my eldest brother is the King of Dongping. Besides, Miss A'Zhu is a family member of Princess Duan, as Miss A'Zhu said It is said that Princess Duan has not yet married my little brother, so I am really helpless."

After Mu Wanqing heard what Zhao Mu said, she also said: "Madam, please don't be angry. My sister A'Zhu is just a little more outspoken and can't compare to the girls from the Central Plains. I apologize to you on behalf of my sister A'Zhu." Wanqing saluted Zhao Jing.

"But what I said is not bad. You can tell me whether my identity is true or false." At this point, Mu Wanqing glanced at Zhao Mu with some embarrassment. She had not been in Dali City for a long time and did not know much about the structure of the imperial court. Although A'Zhu had said it once, she did not remember it.

Zhao Mu was also a little embarrassed, and then whispered: "Honglu Temple." Now Zhao Mu was helpless. Although he wanted to support Mu Wanqing, he was an "Adou" who couldn't be supported.

"Yes! Send officials from Honglu Temple to Dali Kingdom for verification. I came to your Song Dynasty to play with Zhao Lang, not to make you suspicious." Mu Wanqing became angrier as she spoke, and couldn't help but interject waist.

When Zhao Mu saw Mu Wanqing unable to hold herself up the wall with mud, he couldn't help but cough twice to encourage her. Only then did Mu Wanqing notice that there was something wrong with her demeanor, and she put down her hand.

At this time, Zhao Lan asked: "Xiao Mu, there are no outsiders here right now. Tell the truth to your sister, you didn't want to get married to Jin'er, so you found the Princess of Dali to break off the engagement?"

Princess Zhongxiao also said angrily at this time: "Yes, if Lord Dai despises my daughter's low birth, I, Princess Zhongxiao, cannot be of the bloodline of Taizu. It's okay to speak frankly. There is no need to use this method to frustrate our Huyan family."

Although Zhao Lan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are no longer entangled in the issue of Mu Wanqing's identity, their words still reveal distrust.

Although Princess Chai wanted to say something else, she finally did not say it.

Zhao Mu looked at Princess Chai who was hesitant to speak, then looked around at everyone, and said: "Sister, Princess Duan. Princess Duan and I have already spoken. I have a marriage contract with Princess Duan. This is Princess Duan's father, King Zhennan, and uncle, Emperor Baoding, personally agreed. As for the matter with Miss Huyan, my mother only mentioned it after returning home. Princess Duan and I had an appointment, how could we break the agreement and make another agreement? Marry someone else? Please forgive me, Princess."

Mu Wanqing said at this time: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds. I am big-hearted and not as stingy as my mother and concubine. If Zhao Lang really likes Princess Huyan, he can also marry her. We can work together as one husband. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Mu Wanqing said this sincerely. She really liked Hu Yanjin and got along well with her.

However, her sincere words were somewhat inappropriate. Princess Zhongxiao said angrily: "Huh! Our daughter of the Huyan family is not so destitute that she can be a concubine!"

While everyone was talking, a disciple of Prince Chai's Mansion broke in.

Princess Shoukang glanced at the servant and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? You're in such a panic."
