The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #52
The royal palace looks so crowded with people walking around, it's because in a few days the wedding of princess Xiu Ying will be held.
After that 2 weeks later the wedding of prince Rong and Lin Yao will also be carried out. Because the emperor had agreed to have their marriage accelerated.
"Your highness. The emperor, prince and princess of the country of Yu were already in front of the palace." Said the head eunuch to emperor Changming who was currently inside his palace.
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
Outside the room, the head eunuch bent his body.
Kraaa
The door of the emperor's room opened, and with great authority the emperor came out and walked towards the royal palace.
(Remember, royal palace and palace of different kings/emperors yes)
"Begging someone to call the crown prince, to the palace hall." The emperor said to the head eunuch.
"Okay, your honor."
The head eunuch then whispered to one of the servants walking behind him.
The palace maid nodded then immediately walked away towards the crown prince's palace.
Arriving in front of the royal palace, emperor Changming saw the emperor, prince and royal princess Yu standing in front of the palace, after they got off the horse carriage they were riding.
"Welcome emperor Yu." Emperor Changming greeted the emperor of the Yu country.
"Greetings to your majesty, may your majesty live long." Emperor Yu said as he saluted, following his two children behind.
"Let's, Emperor Yu and the prince and princess Yu must be tired after traveling a long way to come to this palace."
"Thank you, your honor."
The four men then walked towards the Chao royal hall of Israna, and sat down on the chairs that had been provided.
Before long, the crown prince walked into the palace hall.
"I salute his highness the emperor, the prince and princess Yu." Said the crown prince while saluting the three royal guests of that Yu country.
Emperor Yu nodded.
The crown prince walked over and sat in his chair.
Princess Yu Meng who saw the crown prince felt amazed and as if she could not blink her eyes.
"In this kingdom, why do the princes and crown princes look handsome and have such incredible charisma? Especially his highness prince Rong."
"Ehem, your honor. Our arrival to this country, your majesty alone must have known the reason." Emperor Yu.
Emperor Changming nodded, "Before, I wanted to ask emperor Yu. About the reason your kingdom suddenly attacked the borders of the Chao state in the southern region."
Emperor Yu looked at his two children sitting beside his chair, then looked back at emperor Changming.
"Please forgive me for the carelessness of my three children, your majesty. Actually I myself do not know about those who suddenly attacked Chao's country."
The emperor and the crown prince were shocked by Emperor Yu's words.
"Your highness emperor Yu, you don't know about such a big thing?" The crown prince.
"True, both of my sons each have troop tokens. And it looks like they're doing things beyond my knowledge, against the troops they have."
The crown prince nodded, "Isn't that very dangerous, your majesty. Troop tokens are used arbitrarily. Make the two nations that were once peaceful, become hostile."
"Right, therefore I have taken back the troop tokens they have, and will severely punish my three children."
"No need!"
A quite loud and resolute voice sounded from the direction of the door.
Prince Rong, who had made a sound, walked into the palace hall.
Princess Xiu Ying looked at prince Rong filled with happiness, because the man she had always liked was now in front of her eyes.
"Your highness prince Rong." Emperor Yu.
Everyone inside the hall was shocked to hear the words of prince Rong, not least the princess Yu Meng who had been smiling happily.
"Your highness prince Rong, what do you mean?" Emperor Yu.
"Her Majesty, didn't you say that you would punish your three sons, who have made war so severe?"
"true."
"If so, then I'll be the one to take your place giving that punishment to the three of them."
"But your highness....."
"They made a sudden attack on the southern part of our country, arguing that I didn't want to marry your daughter. They wanted to make my marriage with my future empress ruined, of course it was... I will never let it go. Your Majesty must understand what I mean."
The three people from the Yu country gasped, their bodies trembling at the sound of every word prince Rong said. Added to the gaze of Prince Rong who was so sharp and cold.
"Your highness prince Rong, let me alone punish them. I'll make them feel sorry." Emperor Yu.
Emperor Yu certainly did not want his three children to be punished by Prince Rong who was notoriously cruel and cold-blooded, because the punishment to be given by Prince Rong would certainly make his three children dying.
"Your majesty, you don't seem to know if my future empress took part in the battle, and almost died because one of your son's troops tried to stab her with the sword." Prince Rong.
Emperor Yu rounded his eyes, "Ca... The empress-to-be.... A war?"
"True, she is a brave woman, has a lot of talent, too. doesn't have a cunning nature* and is arrogant."
Prince Rong stared intently at princess Yu Meng as he said his last sentence.
And it managed to make princess Yu Meng jerk also instantly feel disappointed by the words of prince Rong, which was very clearly pointed at him.
"Your highness Prince Rong, please forgive us our mistakes. We know we've made a terrible mistake with you and your future empress." Said the first prince Yu while bowing his body to prince Rong.
Prince Rong looked at first prince Yu, "If you want to be forgiven, then you must accept the punishment, your majesty."
First Prince Yu looked at prince Rong in disbelief, even though he himself had apologized while bowing, but prince Rong still wanted to punish the three of them.
"Didn't every kingdom have justice? I just want justice for myself and my future empress. In addition, I also want to ask for justice for the people and troops of the Chao state who have died because of the actions of the three noble sons of emperor Yu, who are like children." Prince Rong.
Everyone inside the palace hall fell silent, they were stunned and frightened by the dense aura of prince Rong.
Prince Rong stared intently at Emperor Yu, "Your highness, with the respect he had. I'd like to ask your three children, to accept punishment from me."
Deg
Emperor Yu was stunned, he looked at his two children sitting beside him.
"I have destroyed many empires that dared to raise their war flags to this Chao kingdom, and I will not hesitate to destroy one more kingdom."
"Prince Rong." Emperor Changming.
Prince Rong turned his head, "Dad emperor, please leave all of this to me. Because this concerns the future of me and Lin'er."
Emperor Changming knew very well what vindictive nature prince Rong possessed, but if he were to destroy Yu's kingdom, emperor Changming was worried that Lin Yao would not agree to it.
Emperor Yu fell silent, he was faced with a very difficult choice.
As the emperor, he would naturally have to protect all of his subjects. And as a father, he also wanted to protect his children.
"Your highness emperor Yu, please give your decision." Prince Rong said loudly.
He really could no longer hold back his anger, for what the three sons of Emperor Yu had done.
Emperor Yu nodded softly, "Alright, I will hand over my two princes and princesses to get punishment from his highness prince Rong."
"Dad emperor." Said the first prince Yu and princess Yu Meng together.
They did not believe that his father would hand them over to the notorious war god for the law.
"You have committed a great crime, and it is impossible for father to sacrifice all the people of the country of Yu to make amends for what you have done. So, I hope you can pay for your own mistakes."
First Prince Yu was sitting limp, he felt very sorry for having let his two younger siblings, and also gave his 500 troops to fight against the Chao state.
While Yu Mengs daughter's tears were flowing, she did not expect that her life would end like this. His heart also felt very sick, as the prince Rong whom he had been fond of all this time, did not look over and let go.
