According to Jiang Daren, Longzhu was flawless when he was young.
After listening, Gu Xin knew she wouldn't get any information from Long Zhu'er, so she started by asking about their sisterly relationship: "Lord Jiang, is Princess Long Zhu'er close to your country's eldest and third princesses?"
Lord Jiang said, "The princess and the eldest princess are closer. When they were little, the two sisters did everything together. The eldest princess is also gentle and kind. It seems that the princess is more like the elder sister, and the eldest princess is more like the younger sister. As for the third princess, because she is the youngest child, the queen suffered a lot when she gave birth to her, so she was especially pampered. This resulted in the third princess being domineering and impulsive from a young age. She was also dissatisfied because the king and queen chose the princess as the heir. But in the end, she couldn't compare to the second princess in anything, so she had to accept it."
Gu Xin asked curiously, "And now? No, I mean, before Princess Longzhu came to Great Zhou, what was the relationship between your Third Princess and her?"
Lord Jiang sighed, "Alas, in the eyes of us ministers, the Third Princess is just young and immature. Even though she eventually had to submit, she still frequently provokes the Second Princess. She openly displays her dissatisfaction. When they were choosing a husband for the Third Princess, she felt that all the candidates were after the Second Princess. She would cry to the King and Queen, saying she didn't want those who liked the Second Princess. In the end, the King and Queen chose a man for her who had hardly ever left the palace and had never even seen the Second Princess. Although his status was not high, his appearance and other aspects were quite excellent after the assessment. His only drawback might be that he wasn't very healthy. But the Third Princess is truly good to this husband. The only thing she's not good to him is that she doesn't allow him to see the Second Princess at every family banquet. Every banquet is a torment for the husband. So, Princess Xin Xin, you can imagine the relationship between the two sisters."
Gu Xin raised an eyebrow. This was a completely spoiled child who had grown up in the shadow of his older sister and was utterly powerless. He could only rely on his parents' care to keep causing trouble.
She couldn't help but become curious about the eldest princess, so she asked, "Judging from what Lord Jiang said, Princess Longzhu seems to be loved by everyone in Nanlin? What about the Grand Prince Consort? Does he not have this problem at all?"
Lord Jiang looked at Gu Xin with a troubled expression, and said somewhat displeasedly, "How could Princess Xin Xin slander the Grand Prince Consort like that? Moreover, Princess Xin Xin's remarks are also disrespectful to the First Princess!"
Gu Xin apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Jiang, I really didn't mean that. Princess Longzhu'er is indeed beautiful and capable. It's no exaggeration to say that everyone loves such an outstanding woman. Don't people all like outstanding people? Even though Princess Longzhu'er once tried to harm me and my fiancé with others, I was angry. But then I thought, my fiancé was chosen by such an outstanding woman, which means I have good taste, right? So, what I wanted to say is that the eldest princess and the second princess are only two years apart in age. When the eldest princess married the Grand Prince Consort, the second princess was also of marriageable age. Why did the Grand Prince Consort choose the eldest princess instead of the second princess? Lord Jiang, please don't be angry. I just heard you say that Princess Longzhu'er is so good, and I felt that the Grand Prince Consort should also like her."
