Chapter 1139: How Could She Marry as a Concubine

icked loudly, and Xiaohu's daughter-in-law felt sorry for her child and wished she could immediately ask her husband to bring the doctor back. However, Old Mrs. Wu was the one in charge of the family....Chapter 1139: How Can I Marry Someone Else as a Concubine

Bai Yu frowned fiercely, this Xixia prince was too arrogant.

Did he forget that the ground he's standing on is his own Daxixi Palace, provoking the war god general of Daxixi on their territory Was it arrogance and recklessness, or perhaps, intentional

Zongyu had always avoided unnecessary arguments with others. He pretended not to hear, and without stopping his footsteps, walked out directly.

"Bai Yu, don't leave yet."

He saw Bai Yu hadn't followed out and a voice came in from outside.

Bai Yu glared at Herllie and let out a snort. The words that reached her lips eventually remained unspoken. Marquis Wuding called him over precisely to prevent him from arguing with Herllie, so he turned and followed.

After coming out, Bai Yu just asked.

"With the Marquis's power, he wouldn't need to tolerate such behavior. Even if the other party was a prince of Xixia, this is the palace of the Great Xi Emperor. Could he really dare to act so recklessly here"

Zongyu didn't think that much, and said without looking back.

"Don't mind it."

"Knock him out on the field."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded.

As for Marquis Wuding, he's right. Defeating him openly on the field, crushing his spirit and making him a defeated subordinate, would be the best way to show him who's boss and strip him of any pretense of confidence in front of us.

"The Lord is right."

Athletes from various countries participating in the Strongman competition took to the stage one by one after changing in the backstage area. Their appearance caused a stir throughout the stadium, with many young people cheering for their respective national athletes.

Zong Yu and Bai Yu were dressed in black and white outfits. Although their appearances were vastly different, Zong Yu had handsome and profound features, while Bai Yu was cold and elegant. One was mature and tall, the other stood upright like a pine tree. As they strode onto the stage with the same breathtakingly long legs, there were noticeably more exclamations of surprise from the female audience members below.

Its popularity instantly overwhelmed other countries' competitors.

Fang Jinxiu was also looking with wide eyes. If she hadn't been concerned about her status, she would have shouted "so handsome!" just like those little girls!

Zong Yu didn't care about other people's reactions at all. As soon as he entered, his eyes were precisely focused on Fang Jinshi. Seeing his wife excitedly wave at him, his heart was filled with pride.

My spine involuntarily straightened.

Bai Yu was young, his skin thin and fair. When those bold and enthusiastic girls called out to him, his handsome face instantly flushed a delicate pink, his gaze flustered and he dared not look up at the stands.

The White Duke and the Crown Prince's wife couldn't help but smile when they saw their son cause such a big reaction as soon as he took the stage.

Today's outing, at least for now, removes the worry of finding a husband for Yue'er.

"The competition, begin!"

The eunuch, with a high-pitched and thin voice, shouted, "Each contestant will step forward to these ten stones and lift them one by one."

Fang Jinshi also began to watch the game seriously, and suddenly Mujin beside her whispered in her ear.

"My Lady, Princess of Beijiang has arrived."

Tana

Fang Jinshu turned his head and saw that Tanna and her maid were walking towards them.

The viewing stand is not small in size, and it can accommodate four people sitting at the same time.

After exchanging courtesies, Tana and Fang Jinshi sat down. If they were at a tavern, they wouldn't be so formal. In the palace, one must always be cautious.

Zong Bai moved a little further away to avoid suspicion. He saw that Tana's eyes were flickering and her ears were slightly red.

After taking their seats, Fang Jinshi asked.

"What did Your Majesty say to you just now"

A flicker of stiffness crossed Tanna's face, but she quickly masked it.

"Your Majesty has betrothed me to the second prince."

Fang Jinshi was taken aback. "The second prince already has a legal wife, so marrying you off to him... wouldn't that make you a concubine"

Tana nodded.

Fang Jinshui angrily slammed the table, "How is this possible You are a princess of a country, how can you marry someone else as a concubine"

"On my way back, I had Zongbo and Zongyu both submit petitions to Your Majesty, urging for careful consideration of this matter."

Zong Bai heard that His Majesty had bestowed marriage upon Tana. The fist he kept clenched inside his sleeve already tightened into a hard ball, unnoticed by everyone except himself.

He immediately chimed in, agreeing with his sister-in-law.

"Yes, having a princess serve as a concubine for a prince is unprecedented in history. Princess, rest assured, I will certainly persuade His Majesty to reconsider."

Tana shook her head and hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

"Thank you, Lord Zong, and thank you, Sister Jinxiu. You really don't have to."

"After all, I am merely a princess of a small country. The North Frontier holds little power. Your Majesty bestowing upon me the hand of the Second Prince, who resides with the Empress, is already a great honor to our people."

Besides, the Second Prince is also the most likely candidate for succession among all the princes. If he were to ascend the throne in the future, how could the officials of Daxia allow a princess from a foreign country to be the Empress

"I have long since accepted my fate. I know Elder Sister Jinxiu is heartbroken for me and feels indignant on my behalf. Thank you, and thank Lord Zong as well."

"I truly don't care, as long as the people of Beijiang can live better and better under Da Xi's care, what does sacrificing my marriage amount to"

Fang Jinxiu sighed helplessly, some things she didn't want to say in front of Tanna, didn't want to pour cold water on her.

Given Dah Xi's current predicament, she is barely able to save herself, let alone attend to the affairs of the northern border.

Zong Bai remained silent, staring at Tanna's emotionless profile with a heart full of unspeakable pain and discomfort.

"Just watch the game, don't overthink it, everything will work out in the end."

The second prince is still out of town dealing with the floods, so this marriage will probably be delayed for another year and a half.

Tana smiled and nodded, just as a Northern Border warrior stepped onto the field. Tana happily introduced him to Fang Jinshu.

"Sister Jinxiu, look! This is one of our warriors from Beijiang."

Fang Jinxiu followed the direction of her finger and looked over. This warrior from Beijang was very strong, lifting to the seventh stone in one breath.

Several people before me gave up after only reaching the fifth or sixth piece.

Although the events of this strength competition were simple, requiring them only to lift ten stones in front of them one by one, who would have thought that these ten stones held a great secret.

Tana watched her warriors compete with a tense expression, hoping they would perform well, just as she hoped her own children would gain recognition from others.

As the weakest of the four nations, Beijiang has relied on Daxixi for protection for so many years. Without Daxixi's shelter, it would have likely been absorbed by the other two nations long ago.

If given a choice, Tana wouldn't want to sacrifice anything.

"Come on! Come on!"

"Amazing, this warrior is from the Northern Border, isn't he He actually managed to lift eight stones in one breath, surpassing even the warriors from the Wumeng Kingdom."

"Indeed, we underestimated the Northern Border before. We didn't expect them to be able to train such powerful warriors."

Hearing these compliments, Tanna was as delighted as a child, even happier than if she had been praised herself.

"Jinshu elder sister, did you see Our warrior raised the eighth stone. He was the first."

Fāng Jǐnxiù was also happy for her.

"Indeed, perhaps in this round of mighty warriors' competition, your Northern Frontier has a chance to take the lead."

Tana smiled sheepishly, "Winning first place is probably out of the question. Being able to get into the top three would be a great honor for my Beijiang region."

In the audience were Duke Wuding and Prince Hellie of the Western Xia Kingdom. They wouldn't even rank among the top contenders in this Northern Border contest, something Tanna was quite aware of.ent. He suppressed the anger in his heart and stepped into his daughter's room.The fifth young miss was his legal wife's daughter. Zhao Fangshi had many children, but he loved this sickly fifth daught...
