Jiang Nuan felt that the eldest princess was the kind of person who used her intelligence to completely outsmart others.
To be honest, she was somewhat relieved by the princess's awkward position in Gandan; otherwise, the Great Zhou might have encountered war two years earlier.
"Can Alice give me what I want?"
"Your Highness is joking."
Jiang Nuan lowered her head speechlessly.
I always feel like this person is flirting all the time.
"Alright," the eldest princess said dismissively, "I knew it would turn out like this, though I'm still a little sad..."
He lowered his eyes sadly halfway through his sentence.
“Your Highness,” Jiang Nuan felt she had been holding back for a long time, “if there is nothing important, you may leave.”
“Then let’s get down to business,” the eldest princess said, becoming quite serious upon hearing this. “Alice must have heard of the Arrigan family, right?”
“Yes,” Jiang Nuan asked tentatively, “Is the princess dissatisfied with them?”
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess remained noncommittal. "Baturhui's offspring should become the fiercest wolves on the grasslands, yet they are being raised like sheep. What do you think?"
hehe……
Jiang Nuan chuckled twice without replying, but in her heart she thought the eldest princess was a linguistic genius, pointing out the conflict between Baturhui and the Alegen family in just one sentence.
This is probably the most awkward situation for the Batur family. They are clearly a powerful lion, but they are suppressed by the cage of the Alegen family. It is unknown whether the first Queen Alegen was intentionally retaliating against her husband's philandering and promiscuity.
"Alice," the eldest princess laughed upon seeing this, "I knew you would understand."
She had said similar things to her sister, but her sister completely failed to understand her distress and, aside from trying to stop her from having crazy ideas, did not question her current life.
I never expected that a tentative question I asked today would yield such a result.
Jiang Nuan remained silent, wanting to see what the eldest princess was planning to do.
The eldest princess didn't seem to mind. After a long while, she asked curiously, "Alice, did God say that the Baturhui family should regain its former glory?"
"what you up to?"
Jiang Nuan became alert.
She always felt that this person was planning something extraordinary.
"What are you planning to do?" The eldest princess leaned against the low table, resting her chin on her hand and blinking. "Guess?"
That's enough!
Jiang Nuan really wanted to roar.
However, thinking of his own image, he coughed lightly and slowly asked, "Has the eldest princess decided to take action against the Alleghen family?"
"I almost guessed it."
"Do you want to be the Khan or replace the Algen family?"
There are significant differences between the two, and neither is what Jiang Nuan hopes to see.
Gandan has such a wise and ambitious master who is particularly unfriendly to the Great Zhou. Jiang Nuan believes in Ji Xuan's abilities, but she does not dare to underestimate the methods of the eldest princess.
"Of course, it's to become the master of Gandan."
The eldest princess spoke with certainty and confidence, as if it were only natural.
There are some people who are born with an aura of brilliance, and the eldest princess is precisely one of them.
"That's a good idea," Jiang Nuan offered dry words of comfort. "I have faith in you."
"You don't believe I can do it?"
"Of course I believe it."
Jiang Nuan quickly denied it.
She believed in the eldest princess's abilities, but would do everything in her power to stop her; due to their differing stances, they really couldn't be friends.
"So Alice also thinks it's a good choice?"
“I do have high hopes for you…” but not for Gandan.
"So," the eldest princess said with a smile in her eyes, "Alice will also help me?"
"I'm sorry," Jiang Nuan said sincerely.
Is it that they can't or they're unwilling?
“There’s no conflict,” Jiang Nuan sighed. “We can’t and we don’t want to; we have different positions.”
"What's so good about the Great Zhou?" the eldest princess asked, utterly puzzled. "Is it worth your utmost protection?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan froze. "Are you threatening me?"
When was it exposed?
"Of course not, I'm just curious why Alice would defend so many foolish and stubborn people in the Great Zhou?"
Deep down, the eldest princess was proud of Gandan, believing that everyone in Gandan who could survive in such harsh conditions was a hero.
However, this does not mean that she does not covet the wealth of the Great Zhou.
Such a fertile land has nurtured people who lack any sense of responsibility or courage. In her view, the people of the Great Zhou have simply wasted the blessings of heaven.
“It’s very simple,” Jiang Nuan sighed, “Besides yourself, you also have family and friends.”
Jiang Nuan herself did not have a deep sense of belonging to the Great Zhou Dynasty, not even as much as she did to the orphanage in later generations.
However, since everyone we know lives on the land of the Great Zhou, there is really no reason not to protect it.
"Alice is really sentimental!"
When did you find out who I am?
“Alice thought that Kengba Congkang was our first meeting, but that’s not true,” the eldest princess said, lost in her memories. “We met once outside the city. You were followed by two strong warriors who rode from the border of the Great Zhou.”
He laughed as he spoke, “Back then, you were simply the most stunning color in the vast snowfield; many of my entourage were mesmerized.”
"Later, I sent people to investigate in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only then did I learn that you were a banished immortal from the Great Zhou."
As she spoke, the eldest princess looked her over with interest. "Alice, I really can't believe you've had children. Your eldest son is even a year older than me."
For some reason, Jiang Nuan suddenly felt embarrassed upon hearing this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she could only drink milk tea.
Age has always been a somber topic, both in ancient and modern times.
"Don't worry, I won't mind," the eldest princess comforted softly. "I will love your child as if he were my own."
Cough cough...
Jiang Nuan really choked.
“No, I’m really not interested in you,” Jiang Nuan hurriedly said. “Since ancient times, yin and yang have been in harmony. Your prey should be the warriors of Gandan.”
You are always so adorable.
The eldest princess's smile deepened.
Uh...
Jiang Nuan felt that Gan Dan could no longer stay.
We've already gathered most of the intelligence; we can't afford to lose ourselves in the process.
With that in mind, Jiang Nuan decisively said, "I'll leave tomorrow. We'll meet again on the battlefield then!"
Since soft tactics aren't working, let's go head-to-head and see who's truly capable.
"Alice, don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant. I just wanted you to know that you are a banished immortal of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a goddess of Gandan. Just like you said, the two are not contradictory."
“I don’t want to be the goddess of Gandan,” Jiang Nuan waved her hand, somewhat annoyed. “I didn’t deny it before only to extract information about Gandan and undermine Gandan’s alliance with other countries.”
"So what?" the eldest princess said dismissively. "Everyone in the royal city thinks you are a goddess, don't they? You can protect the Great Zhou, so why can't you protect Gandan? Does the god also think Gandan is unworthy of protection?"
These words left Jiang Nuan speechless.
She rarely encountered such an embarrassing moment.
