"You gentlemen are all pillars of the Great Swamp Kingdom, and I have much to learn from you all," Qiao Lian'er said politely with a smile.
She showed no displeasure whatsoever to the ministers who raised objections at the Lantern Festival banquet.
When most of the people had left, she noticed that Prince Pei hadn't gotten into his carriage yet, so she went over to thank him.
Prince Pei seemed somewhat worried: "Tianhe Prefecture has many problems, and the princess is currently in a precarious situation. I don't know how much of a chance we can have."
"I'll give it a try," Qiao Lian'er said. "After all, it's a large state, and managing it will require some effort."
"The words I spoke were originally intended to help Princess Zhenguo obtain her fiefdom, but they also caused her trouble."
“I am grateful to Prince Pei, because I would rather have such a fiefdom than deal with trouble. Besides, it is my fiefdom, so it is my duty to manage it well.” Qiao Lian’er said calmly.
Prince Pei nodded. Since Qiao Lian'er said so, he no longer felt too guilty.
It has to be said that this girl knows how to handle people; her words dispelled his unease.
"Now that you are a princess, your status is very different, and you have more power. You will be watching your every move from now on, so you must be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Prince Pei. For my own sake, for the Qiao family behind me, and for those who care about me and those I care about, I will think three steps ahead before taking any action."
Prince Pei was pleased to hear this, because it also included Pei Er.
Qiao Lian'er's personality is such that if you treat her well, she will treat you well in return, not to mention the mutual entrustment of life to each other. Therefore, he has no need to worry that Pei Er's choice will be betrayed.
On the way back in the carriage, Pei Zhujin asked, "Does Father agree to the marriage between Princess Zhenguo and my younger brother?"
"Jin'er, don't blame your father for being materialistic. In the capital, you have to rely on your own abilities to survive. Marriage is a major event that requires careful consideration."
"To be honest, I still feel a bit inferior to the current Princess Zhenguo in terms of ability."
“Father, beyond weighing the pros and cons, there is true human affection. The Princess Zhenguo and her younger brother have walked hand in hand and relied on each other all the way. For them, the latter is the most important.”
Prince Pei nodded: "That's right. No one can separate them. Let them get married whenever they want. Right now, the Qiao family is busy with the marriage with the Lin family. One thing after another. They are still young, so there's no rush."
Overnight, the news that Qiao Lian'er had become the Princess of the Nation and received the fiefdom of Tianhe Prefecture spread throughout the entire capital.
For a time, everyone was shocked and there was much discussion.
It's truly the first time I've seen a princess from a different family wield such power.
The powerful families were filled with envy and jealousy, but they had to admit that the other person did indeed have the ability.
The Qiao family was also overjoyed, and the whole family couldn't sleep all night.
According to regulations, Qiao Lian'er was required to attend certain important court assemblies, but was not required to attend other times.
This gave her a lot of freedom.
The day after Qiao Lian'er went to Tianhe Prefecture for an on-site investigation, Qiao Zhizhi received a letter.
The letter contained very little information, saying that Qiao Lian'er was surrounded by rioters in Tianhe Prefecture and could not get away.
