"I will stay here and wait for an explanation from the Pei Prince's Mansion, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Princess Lingyu."
As Princess Lingyu's close attendant, his status was naturally not low. It was one thing that he wasn't invited in for tea after delivering the invitation, but the Pei Prince's residence even wanted to return the invitation. What was the difference between this and slapping him in the face in public?
The steward's face turned cold: "My young master is busy, is that wrong? Besides, men and women should not touch each other. My young master did not want to offend Princess Lingyu, so he did not wish to accompany her. Such self-discipline deserves praise. What other explanation do you want?"
Ye Di revealed a smile that was hard to describe.
"Doesn't the steward know that Princess Lingyu has chosen your Second Young Master Pei? The Emperor of Daze Kingdom has made it clear that at the grand banquet, my princess can choose whomever she chooses. So it is only natural and proper for Second Young Master Pei to accompany her."
A surge of anger rose in the steward's heart. Relying on the strength of the navy and the fact that the island nation had inconvenient transportation with the Great Swamp Kingdom, the people of Dongfu Kingdom were so unscrupulous.
But no matter how strong the navy is, Dazeguo is a vast and resource-rich land with a thriving population. It can be suppressed with several times the force.
The Great Swamp Kingdom has expended considerable manpower, material resources, and financial resources in dealing with the Eastern Fu Kingdom, but it has never lost and has never truly been afraid.
"Whether your choice is acceptable or not doesn't matter. It's just wishful thinking. No one can make decisions for the Second Young Master. If he doesn't want something, even pointing a sword at his neck won't help."
"I hope my young master doesn't know what I just said. He has a bad temper."
"Guards!" The steward clapped his hands, and immediately more than a dozen people emerged, surrounding Yeli.
“If Mr. Yeli refuses to leave, then send him back to the embassy.”
Yeli was surprised by the Pei Prince's Mansion's tough stance. He shouted, "Your Emperor has already stated that the Emperor's authority is supreme. The Pei Prince's Mansion is not only going against the Eastern Fu Kingdom, but against the Emperor himself. If this goes to the Emperor, the Pei Prince's Mansion will not have a good outcome. Have you considered the consequences of such rudeness?"
The steward had a half-smile on his face: "Even if we take this to the Emperor, it's just because Second Young Master Pei is too busy to get away. Is Princess Lingyu really so petty that she can't even make an exception for this?"
Yeli couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
"Move aside, I can walk by myself."
He stormed off.
Upon arriving at the embassy, Princess Lingyu saw his indignant expression and noticed that he was still holding the invitation in his hand.
"What's wrong? Is the Second Prince Pei unwilling?"
Yeli plopped down in his seat and recounted what had happened at the Prince Pei's residence in a gloomy voice: "That's too much, too much! I've never been treated like this before."
Seeing that the Prince Pei's mansion was showing her no respect whatsoever and completely disregarding her, Ling Yu's face darkened instantly.
In the Eastern Fu Kingdom, she was the center of attention, the apple of everyone's eye.
Is it because of Qiao Lian'er? Does Qiao Lian'er really have that much charm?
"No rush. The Emperor of Daze Kingdom made a promise first, and I will never change my mind about whoever I choose."
"Our Dongfu Kingdom's navy is formidable, which is what the Daze Emperor fears most. Although every invasion has been suppressed, it has never shaken the foundation of Dongfu Kingdom. On the contrary, it has caused Daze Kingdom to suffer losses and exhaustion. The Daze Emperor knows this. He can exchange a prince of a different surname for peace. According to them, why not do it?"
"But the Emperor of Daze did not agree, and the Pei family also disagreed—"
Lingyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "This is where we need to put some pressure on Daze. Yeli, send a message by carrier pigeon, asking Father to dispatch a thousand warships to the coast of Daze Kingdom."
Now she felt things were even more challenging. Once Pei Er was willing to go with her, she would not only have won over Qiao Lian'er, the most powerful woman in Daze Kingdom, but also over Pei Er, the stubborn and arrogant young master. It would also be equivalent to making the emperor of Daze Kingdom submit.
