Princess Lingyu wore a faint smile, revealing a resolute determination to achieve her goal.
There seemed to be an inexplicable sense of pride hidden in that smile.
“We people of Dongfu Kingdom are quite straightforward. We say what we mean and what we mean what we say. Since I have already made up my mind and the Emperor has made a promise, they certainly won’t hide anything from me. This is not a matter of discretion, because we also trust the Emperor of Daze Kingdom.”
When the emperor saw that she refused to back down and was putting pressure on him, his good mood was completely ruined.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
“There are always exceptions to everything. In order to avoid hurting feelings, we need to consider things from both sides’ perspectives. If we insist on getting stuck on a nut and making each other unhappy, is that the situation that Princess Lingyu wants to see?”
"But quite a few people have already started to know about this. Even if I wanted to back down, I'm afraid I would be accused of being a woman who serves two husbands and being promiscuous."
Princess Lingyu looked at Qiao Lian'er: "The Princess Zhenguo is also a woman, so she should be able to understand how I feel right now."
Qiao Lian'er almost laughed. Ling Yu must know that her relationship with Pei Er was not ordinary, yet she still came to ask her.
She even suspected that Ling Yu's choice of Pei Shijiu was intentional.
However, Lingyu had just arrived in Daze Kingdom, and there was no prior grudge between them.
Qiao Lian'er's gaze was calm and composed, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Excuse me for being frank, but I don't understand."
"Oh?" Ling Yu's fighting spirit was ignited: "Does the Princess Zhenguo have some prejudice against my choice of Young Master Pei?"
Sure enough, he pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was still extremely concerned.
Qiao Lian'er is nothing special.
“I have no prejudice. It is Princess Lingyu’s freedom to like whomever she likes,” Qiao Lian’er said. “But as a princess of a country, Princess Lingyu should have a magnanimity and breadth of mind that are beyond ordinary people, so that she can set an example for the country. Yet she cares so much about those rumors and gossips. She keeps saying that she is a woman. What is the difference between a woman and a man? Do you think that you are in a weak position? Isn’t that underestimating yourself?”
"If it were an ordinary woman, she would indeed bear many constraints, but as a princess, you have the power to command the wind and rain, and are second only to the emperor. Yet you still cling to these petty prejudices. Aren't you afraid that such a mindset will become a weakness that others use to attack you?"
Ling Yu never expected that Qiao Lian'er, who seemed to be not good with words, would be so eloquent.
These words left her speechless and choked with emotion.
She is quite capable, and of course, she is also quite magnanimous, but she just can't tolerate anyone being above her. She wants to be the most outstanding and dazzling woman in the world, and she just wants to keep winning.
In the vast swampy region, mentioning Qiao Lian'er is like mentioning a god.
She was not convinced!
"So, the Emperor made a promise and then went back on his word, and Princess Zhenguo told me not to worry about it. Could it be that he's taking advantage of my position as a guest and being in a passive position?" Princess Lingyu shook her head gently.
The Emperor said, "Even if I put pressure on the Pei family, the Second Young Master Pei will not be willing to go to Dongfu Kingdom. Moreover, the Pei family has made great contributions to Daze Kingdom for generations. I cannot bear to force him. Right now, the relationship between the emperor and his subjects is harmonious. Why make things worse?"
