"You can see that I am nowhere near as beautiful as the Princess Consort. The Crown Prince will not be attracted to me. Even if he did, I would only be a concubine," Princess Zhenming said softly, "Didn't we bring Jin Man with us? Her beauty can be compared with the Crown Prince's wife."
Prince Xinhai coldly said, "Jin Man is for the Emperor!"
Princess Zhenming frowned, "But...."
Prince Xinhai seemed to think of something and slowly said, "If we give Jin Man to the Crown Prince, you... you will have to serve the Emperor."
Princess Zhenming didn't say a word, silent tears fell.
Prince Xinhai stood up, "Even though we have not met the emperor yet, I have heard that he is only in his fifties, in his prime. If you could become the Emperor's wife, you wouldn't suffer."
Princess Zhenming said, "Are you sacrificing me to get the Princess Consort?"
