It is said that a foreign magazine ranked the world's most eligible bachelors, and Prince Edward, who is only 20 years old, has jumped from No. 38 last year to No. 28 this year, even though he has been in social life for less than two years. This shows how popular he is.

Prince Edward's other brothers were also on the list, but ranked lower because they were not as handsome or wealthy as Edward, as they did not have a mother as good at making money as Princess Roosevelt.

Most importantly, these brothers were all ahead of Edward in the line of succession, and for an ambitious woman like Julie, the order of succession would be even more important.

But for most girls, a life of wealth and carefree living is what they yearn for. Having a noble status, endless money, and no need to worry about national affairs—that's the life they dream of!

It's hundreds of times better than being some damn princess.

Moreover, without sufficient emotional intelligence and ability, one simply cannot handle the role of a princess. Rather than being ridiculed by the world, it is better to be a happy, wealthy, and leisurely person. Many girls think this way, which is why Edward's popularity surpasses that of many royal heirs.

Furthermore, Ye Qingqing felt that Edward was not actually suited for politics, and he himself had no interest in it. He preferred a life of leisure and freedom. Princess Luo also had no intention of letting her son compete for the throne. She had been bound to the royal family all her life and did not want her son's life to be tied down as well.

"Good morning, do you have time to chat now?" Ye Qingqing greeted.

"Of course I'm available, please wait a moment."

Edward stopped, wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, and went to rest. The maid who had been following him immediately brought him water, her eyes filled with admiration. Of course, the maids in the palace were not ordinary people.

Having a good appearance and a great figure is a must, and you also need to have a high level of education, at least be proficient in a foreign language, and have the ability to handle unexpected events. Not just any girl can be qualified for this position.

Of course, girls working in the royal family not only receive generous salaries, but also enjoy a significant improvement in social status. They are the preferred wives for many wealthy farmers, as they are both respectable and practical, and bring honor to the family.

This is similar to the Chinese proverb, "It's better to marry a maid from a wealthy family than a girl from a humble background."

However, some girls don't aim to marry into ordinary wealthy families; they have longer-term goals. For example, the girl holding the water now has a figure comparable to a supermodel, is fluent in five languages, graduated from an Ivy League university, and is a woman with both intelligence and beauty. Moreover, her ambition is no less than that of Julie in the past.

"Your Highness, please have some water!" The girl handed over a bottle of water, pure snow water from the top of the Alps, a royal privilege.

Ye Qingqing heard a soft, charming girl's voice. It wasn't English; it was probably Edward's native language, which she couldn't understand. However, she could tell that the girl was young and beautiful, and her voice alone was enough to bewitch.

Edward was talking to Ye Qingqing, reaching for water, and didn't notice the girl, but—

Edward received the water, but felt a slippery, tingling sensation on the back of his hand. He frowned, abandoned the water, and immediately withdrew his hand, his eyes turning stern. "Go and handle the formalities with Mrs. Molly yourself!"

It's so annoying! There are always some clueless women sneaking into the palace, coveting his good looks!

So heartbreaking!
