At the time, they hadn't actually considered the third princess, who was not even ten years old then.
They felt that the eldest princess and the prince consort were of similar age, but the second princess was only two years younger, so it was acceptable.
The eldest prince consort was capable of assisting the second princess, and the two of them intended for the second princess to inherit the throne, but they felt that this would be unfair to the eldest princess.
According to the order of seniority, the throne should rightfully belong to the eldest princess. The eldest princess is not lacking in any way, except that she is too gentle in nature, so she is not suitable to be the heir.
Just because of this, the eldest princess lost her right to inherit the throne. Should she also lose a good son-in-law?
Finally, the King and Queen of Nanlin decided to ask their two daughters what they thought, and see which of them was interested in the boy!
Before the couple could even speak with their daughter, news arrived that the prince consort had been injured and disfigured.
Now the couple no longer needs to worry about this issue.
In their eyes, their daughter was a precious jewel, and that boy was already disfigured and was therefore unworthy of their daughter. So, after learning from the doctor that even if the prince consort's face healed, it would still leave a very hideous scar, they completely gave up the idea.
However, to their surprise, the eldest princess insisted on marrying the prince consort.
The King and Queen of Nanlin were stunned and asked for the reason.
The eldest princess only said, "My heart is with the young general, not because of his appearance, but because of him as a person. Even if he is plain-looking, even if he is missing an arm or a leg, I will marry no one but him."
King and Queen Nanlin were initially unwilling, but the second and third princesses, after seeing the injured state of the Grand Prince Consort, also tried to persuade the eldest princess.
The eldest princess persisted and knelt down to plead, saying that she had never asked her parents for anything in her life, and asked them to grant her request regarding her marriage.
Because she was so persistent, her determination touched the hearts of the King and Queen of Nanlin, and in the end, they agreed.
The prince consort was initially unwilling. Knowing that he was disfigured, he felt unworthy of the princess and didn't even want to see her.
The eldest princess first sought her family's consent, and then tried to persuade the prince consort.
It took more than half a year for the prince consort to be persuaded and accept the eldest princess.
Then the two got married and moved to the seaside, to the place guarded by the Grand Prince Consort's family. They lived a comfortable life there and now have three children. Every year, the two of them would take their children back to the capital of Nanlin to reunite with the King of Nanlin.
The eldest and second princesses also frequently corresponded, and their relationship was no less close than when the eldest princess was unmarried.
After finishing his speech, Lord Jiang sighed, "To be frank, without offending Princess Xinxin and General Lu, our Grand Prince Consort is not much older than General Lu. If that incident hadn't happened back then, while he might not be superior to General Lu in appearance, he would certainly be no less handsome. It's a pity he was disfigured. However, fortunately, his inherent charisma remains. He wasn't afraid of General Shi Mu at all, and being able to fight alongside General Shi Mu against the pirates makes him one of the few people General Shi Mu would praise!"
In the end, besides feeling regret, Lord Jiang also carried a hint of pride.
It doesn't matter if he loses his handsome looks; his abilities are still there, and he's quite capable in all aspects.
General Lu, so what if you're good-looking? You still haven't gotten married or had children. In that respect, you can't compare to our Prince Consort!
