无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

“Thank you for your compliment.” Li Hongyuan said indifferently.

“I’m just stating the facts.”

“I don’t care.”

“What?” Jiang Ning tilted her head and looked at him, suddenly realizing, “Oh, Your Highness means it doesn’t matter to you whether you marry her as a concubine?”

“Do you mind?” Li Hongyuan asked her.

“Whether I mind or not, it won’t affect the overall situation.” Jiang Ning smiled.

“Her Highness the Princess Consort is too modest.”

“Can the affairs between the two countries really depend on my preferences?”

“No.”

“Well, then.” Jiang Ning hugged a small hand stove and looked through the increasingly heavy snow at the approaching Silla carriages not far away.

The carriages slowly came to a stop.

A young man in a red robe emerged from the front carriage, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was not as tall as the rumors said, but he was indeed handsome.

He wore a red robe and black boots, had a red mole between his eyebrows, long hair that reached his hips, with emerald earrings hanging from his ears.

Shining brightly.

He was a restrained and proud, handsome young man.

After jumping off the carriage, he went to the carriage behind him and helped a beautiful young girl out of it.

The girl appeared to be eighteen or nineteen, wearing a colorful traditional Silla dress, with an abundance of colorful braids, slender eyebrows and eyes, and naturally red lips.

She was a refreshing, elegant beauty.

However, there was no expression on her face, making her appear somewhat indifferent amidst the snowstorm.

She carefully descended from the carriage, holding hands with the young man as they stepped through the snow.

Following behind them were dozens of officials and attendants. They slowly approached Li Hongyuan and Jiang Ning and saluted.

“Princess Zhenming and Prince Xinhai, please rise.” Li Hongyuan raised his hand.

Jiang Ning knew that although they were usually referred to as the Silla Princess and Prince, Silla was subordinate to Great Sheng, and their King accepted the title conferred by the Emperor of Great Sheng.

Their princes and princesses also had formal Great Sheng titles.

In Great Sheng, they were only a Princess and a Crown Prince.

They were still one level lower than the princesses and princes of the dynasty.

As princes and princesses of a subordinate country, they had to perform kneeling and bowing ceremonies for the Crown Prince and Princess Consort of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Jiang Ning smiled, “Your Highness the Prince and Princess must be tired from the journey, and the snow is getting heavier outside. Why not settle down in the Traveling Palace first? After resting, bathing, and changing clothes, you can join the banquet in the palace.”

“I am grateful for the Princess Consort’s kindness.”

The Silla Princess’s voice was very soft, her lips slightly pale, seemingly very tired and not in high spirits. Standing in the snow, she even shivered a little.

Such a beauty made Jiang Ning sympathetic, not wanting them to stay in the snow for too long.

Li Hongyuan didn’t say much either, agreeing with Jiang Ning’s arrangement.

The weather was indeed not good.

Li Hongyuan held Jiang Ning’s hand and returned to the palace with her.

There were people from the Ministry of Rites and the palace staff who would take care of the Silla Prince and Princess.

On the way back, Jiang Ning laughed, “The Silla Princess is indeed as beautiful as they say, very much like our Concubine Li, but even more so.”

“What are you trying to say?” Li Hongyuan asked coldly.

“Are you satisfied with the Silla Princess, Your Highness?”

“Whether I’m satisfied or not, what does it have to do with you?” Li Hongyuan let go of her hand, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. We have more important matters to deal with later, so don’t make me angry. Otherwise, there will be consequences for you.”
