Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Favorable Timing, Geographical Convenience, and Good Human Relations, It Seems Like He Has It All

Three days later, the autumn hunt arrived as scheduled.

Qi Yu and Li Mingjue mingled with the marching troops, following the vast crowd to a royal hunting ground on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

On the platform, seated were the Emperor and Empress of Luoyue Country, both with somewhat stiff expressions, no hint of joy visible.

Having stayed in the palace for several days, Qi Yu was naturally aware of the loveless relationship between the two.

She also knew what had caused their rift.

The day before, Cang Ming, the Tulan Crown Prince, had arrived in Luoyue Country with great fanfare, bringing not only a large amount of gold and silver jewelry but also a message.

“A marriage alliance?” The Emperor of Luoyue Country, upon hearing this news, looked somewhat surprised.

The Empress, on the other hand, darkened in countenance.

In her view, Tulan was but a trivial territory, a minor country that dared to entertain thoughts of a marriage alliance with their mighty Luoyue Country, which was simply preposterous.

Of course, her thinking such was also due to an important reason—that there was only one princess of suitable age in the palace, Yin Wanning.

Naturally, she was not willing to send her own daughter away in marriage.

With a humble expression, Cang Ming said, “Your Majesty, the world knows of Luoyue’s profound heritage, not inferior even to the great Dazhao in the north. If we could form a bond akin to the Qin and Jin marriage alliance, it would be a blessing for Tulan.”
