Chapter 449 Princess Helena Updated (3)_1
Xiang Yun couldn’t help but laugh.
Several other young ladies from prestigious families were also amused by Cai Wei’s words and were about to laugh, but they saw Helena slammed the table and abruptly stood up. Instantly, everyone was frightened into silence, no one dared to laugh anymore.
Xiang Yun quickly lowered her head and coughed vigorously, hiding her lapse of self-discipline.
Princess Helena’s background was quite significant, she was the legitimate princess of the Xianbei Empire, and since the Great Jin and the Xianbei were allied by marriage, consequently, her status in the Great Jin was quite high. Ordinary folks would not dare to offend her.
Five years ago, Prince Nangong Shi married, as per the Emperor’s command, the eldest princess of the Xianbei Empire, Helan Xue, and made her the princess consort.
When the Princess Consort was sent from the Xianbei Empire, her sister Helena was also in the wedding envoy. Originally, Princess Helena planned to return to the Xianbei Empire after her older sister’s marriage. However, after seeing Nangong Yi at the wedding feast, she fell in love with him at first sight. Regardless of opposition from ministers who came with her, she resolutely stayed in the Great Jin, repeatedly expressing her wish to marry him.
Helena was domineering and rude, although she had a beautiful face, her true temperament exposed after she had not been in the Great Jin long.
Naturally, Nangong Yi would choose to keep a distance from such a woman and refused to marry her at all costs.
The Emperor and Empress, seeing that Helena was unable to maintain her dignity, refused to marry her to the King Qin. So, she lived in the Great Jin for five full years without being able to marry Nangong Yi or become Queen Qin.
Logically, she should have given up after five years of fruitless efforts.
