Lu Zheng had no idea that the envoy from Nanlin was secretly criticizing him like this; otherwise, he would have definitely smashed his dog's head in.
Is he the type of person who can't find a wife? Isn't it because his future wives are too young?
Gu Xin looked at Lord Jiang thoughtfully and asked, "Lord Jiang, may I ask if the army currently in control of Nanlin is controlled by the Grand Prince Consort's family? Also, how did the Grand Prince Consort get disfigured?"
Lord Jiang said, "The Grand Prince Consort's family has always been the guardian generals of Nanlin. With the Grand Prince Consort's generation now having the eldest princess marry into their family, there's no need to worry about anything unnecessary. After the second princess succeeds as King, and with the two sisters having such a good relationship, Nanlin will surely continue to prosper. It's just a pity that now the second princess…"
Lord Jiang was somewhat saddened.
I forgot to answer Gu Xin's second question: how exactly did the Grand Prince Consort get disfigured?
Furthermore, it seems that the Grand Prince Consort was disfigured not long after arriving in the capital, so he probably didn't have much time to interact with the Grand Princess. Why was the Grand Princess so determined to marry no one but him?
She didn't think the two of them could understand each other in such a short time, especially since the eldest princess was a member of the royal family and wouldn't be so naive as to disregard everything for love, especially when it came to her life's most important matter.
Gu Xin's words immediately pulled Lord Jiang out of his sorrowful mood. She asked, "Aside from the accident, Lord Jiang, who do you think is the biggest beneficiary among the two princesses far away in Nanlin?"
Lord Jiang and the other envoys from Nanlin were all dumbfounded; it seemed that none of them had considered this question.
They are all preoccupied with the fact that the princess is in trouble. How will they explain themselves when they go back? What kind of punishment will they receive? Will the eldest princess or the third princess succeed the second princess as heir?
The other envoys all looked at Lord Jiang. Their positions were not as high as his, and they had not had as much contact with the princesses as he had. They really did not know the answer to this question.
Lord Jiang hesitated for a moment before saying, "The eldest princess is gentle by nature. Apart from being decisive in marrying the Grand Prince Consort, she is quite easygoing in other matters. Before marriage, she listened to her parents, and after marriage, the prince consort mostly made the decisions. If the King and Queen were to choose someone else, they would probably choose the third princess."
Gu Xin shook her head: "Not necessarily. I think your king and queen will choose the eldest princess. The third princess is only fierce on the outside, but she is reckless and everything is written on her face. What kind of king do you think is like that? Also, Lord Jiang, you haven't said why the Grand Prince Consort was disfigured in the first place?"
Lord Jiang was taken aback, then said, “I apologize, Princess Xin Xin. I was too grief-stricken just now and forgot. The Grand Prince Consort was attacked at night and chased by a group of assassins. He barely escaped with his life, killing several of them before finally breaking free. Also, Princess Xin Xin may not understand our Southern Lin Kingdom. In our Southern Lin Kingdom, to become a king, queen, or king consort, one must not necessarily be beautiful, but one must be without any flaws. Because of the Grand Prince Consort’s disfigurement, the eldest princess is disqualified. Unless, of course, the eldest princess wants to abandon the Grand Prince Consort. But that is clearly impossible; the eldest princess has never aspired to that.”
Gu Xin smiled and said, "The eldest princess may not be queen, but she can be queen."
