Chen Ji stood in front of the Zhongcui Palace gate, looking up at the Crown Prince on the stone steps, "I hope Your Highness will reconsider. Now the Jing Dynasty's envoy group is left with only Princess Liyang. If something happens to her, it might ruin the grand plan."
Princess Liyang glared at Chen Ji, surprised that even though the Ning Dynasty court had agreed, it was Chen Ji who disagreed.
The Crown Prince looked gently at Chen Ji, as if they held no past grievances, "Marquis of Wuxiang, you are too modest. The Princess is unaware that our dynasty hasn't granted a noble title to an outsider for decades. The reason you were granted a heredity title is not only due to your military achievements but because you have rescued me from dire situations in Guyuan multiple times, saving my life. With you here, I am assured."
