After thinking for a moment, he added, "I must kindly remind Princess Lingyu that the Princess Zhenguo is absolutely not someone to be trifled with."
Princess Lingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Lord Gu, please go back first. Thank you for your hospitality."
Lord Gu walked out of the embassy, somewhat troubled. Should he tell Princess Zhenguo about this?
Moreover, he felt something was strange. Although being the heir apparent was good, there were princes above him, and even the heirs of princes of the first rank, who were legitimate blood relatives.
Why did Princess Lingyu fall for Pei Er?
Although Pei Er is quite outstanding, shouldn't she choose a husband from the royal family if she's to take him back with her? That would be more glorious.
After much hesitation, he still went to the Qiao family.
Qiao Lian'er was receiving guests in the hall. She was surprised by Lord Gu's visit and, after exchanging pleasantries, waited for him to speak.
"I've come for no other reason than to offer a word of advice to Princess Zhenguo," Lord Gu said, taking a sip of tea and setting down his cup.
"Please speak plainly, sir."
"It's about Princess Lingyu." Lord Gu found it difficult to bring up the subject.
He's forcing himself to come to Princess Zhenguo to tell her that her beloved has been chosen by someone else. What kind of nonsense is this?
"Oh?" Qiao Lian'er saw that Lord Gu seemed hesitant to speak, and wondered if Princess Lingyu of Dongfu Kingdom had a plan to destroy Daze Kingdom.
"Princess Lingyu told me personally that the person she took a liking to at today's banquet was the Second Prince Pei."
Qiao Lian'er thought it was a big deal, but couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
"If you like something, you have to be able to take it with you. This is mainly up to the Second Prince Pei."
Lord Gu was surprised. He knew that the Princess Zhenguo had a different kind of magnanimity, but he never expected her to be so open-minded, or perhaps it was a kind of confidence and certainty.
Yes, the Second Prince Pei only had eyes for the Princess Zhenguo, and he was busy serving her. Other women no longer caught his eye.
He was filled with respect: "Princess Zhenguo has a good temperament, but if the Emperor puts pressure on her, after all, there was a prior agreement, and Princess Zhenguo and the Second Prince Pei are not yet engaged, so it's hard to say."
“My Great Ze Kingdom is the master, and the Eastern Fu Kingdom is a foreign guest who has been harassing the eastern border for many years. The relationship between the two countries is currently superficial. If Ling Yu insists on doing this, it will not be good for the Eastern Fu Kingdom. She has no sense of propriety, and reality will teach her a lesson.”
When you are a guest, you should be aware of your place and know when to advance and when to retreat; this is the way to get along with others.
Over the next few days, Ling Yu really did investigate Qiao Lian'er's actions thoroughly.
Each and every one of her accomplishments was a great achievement, countless in number, and even things that ordinary people could not accomplish in their entire lives. Yet, in the grand scheme of things, they were just insignificant.
Lingyu closed the thick booklet and took a deep breath.
Yes, she knew it was beyond her reach, like a towering mountain blocking her way, shrouded in mist and clouds, with no end in sight.
She has been competitive since childhood, and now that this emotion is rising, she can't suppress it at all.
If she could snatch the boy she liked from Qiao Lian'er's hands, would that mean she had won?
