Does "None thought the girl would spurn her status royal,
Of those who meant Liu's kingly mind to guile" mean:
None (of those who meant to deceive Liu's kingly mind) thought the girl would give up her royal status?

Context:

Upon these shores the South and West were wed,
Pearl-screened paths and golden rooms were shared.
None thought the girl would spurn her status royal,
Of those who meant Liu's kingly mind to guile.
