Qiao Lian'er said this simply to test the emperor's sincerity.
Thinking that completing this task would earn her a good fiefdom, contributing to the prosperity of the Qiao family, she was naturally very willing.
After Qiao Lian'er took her leave, the emperor remembered what he had originally wanted to say, which he had just forgotten.
However, he did not call Qiao Lian'er back. Compared to cultivating a powerful navy, what he had to discuss earlier seemed insignificant.
What if Lian'er already has a plan, and he interrupts her? It's better not to disturb her.
On the way back, Qiao Lian'er accessed the data in her spatial dimension, integrating the essence of thousands of years of shipbuilding, naval training, maritime position judgment, and troop deployment methods. She also spent a huge amount of gold coins to have her steward retrieve relevant technologies from other world planes.
Upon entering the room, she took out all the documents and placed them on the bookshelf, instantly filling a third of the shelf.
It takes a lot of time and effort to absorb these things and come up with effective solutions.
Qiao Lian'er's favorite thing to do is to challenge herself and overcome seemingly difficult tasks.
As for Pei Er, she had no need to worry at all. She wasn't really a teenage girl with that kind of anxious and insecure mindset. She was confident in the person she had chosen with decades of experience.
The embassy where the guests from Dongfu Kingdom were staying sent a letter to the Prince Pei's residence.
“Princess Lingyu wishes to go hunting in the northern suburbs, but she is unfamiliar with the capital and would like to ask you, sir, to provide directions,” the steward said from outside the study, holding a note.
"I don't have that kind of free time." Pei Shijiu held a book in his hand, not even lifting his eyelids.
"But she is, after all, Princess Lingyu—"
"Who cares which country's princess she is, what does it have to do with me?"
"Return the post to avoid misunderstandings."
In the past few days, he had heard some rumors that Princess Lingyu had chosen him and wanted him to go back to Dongfu Kingdom with her to get married.
What a joke! What right does she have to choose him? Where does she get the audacity?
The butler went outside to return the invitation, speaking politely.
“Our young master is too busy to spare the time. There are plenty of people in Daze Kingdom who can guide Princess Lingyu. Princess Lingyu, please choose someone else.”
"At the very least, let Lord Gu send someone to escort the princess to the northern suburbs; that is also the duty of the Court of State Ceremonies."
The messenger was Yeli, a servant of Princess Lingyu.
Ye Li was surprised that Pei Er rejected him outright. How could a prince from a different surname not take the princess of the Dongfu Kingdom's royal family seriously?
Princess Lingyu had already lowered herself somewhat by choosing the Second Prince Pei, and now that she had sent him an invitation, the Second Prince Pei was showing no mercy and tried to dismiss her with just a few words.
Anger rose on Yeli's face; it was the humiliation of having his dignity trampled upon.
"Young Master Lingyu personally sent the invitation, yet she was met with such a cold reception. Is this how the Pei Prince's Mansion treats its guests? Even the Emperor has never insulted foreign guests, but the Pei Prince's Mansion is putting on airs and not taking Princess Lingyu seriously."
"If your emperor knew, he would probably say you were being disrespectful."
After saying that, he showed no intention of leaving, instead standing with his arms crossed against the door, displaying an arrogant attitude.
