"Mother, please let me finish speaking first."
Pei Zhi knew what Consort Lin was going to say, so she didn't give Consort Lin a chance to speak.
It's nothing more than sending her to a political marriage.
"The reputation of the Great General of the Darts is widespread. If Prince Solo were to meet Yan Xinyue, would he ask his father for her hand in marriage?"
Prince Thoreau's country had suffered countless defeats at the hands of the General of the Banners, so how could he not harbor hatred?
Consort Lin looked incredulous. "What nonsense are you talking about? The Grand General of the Escort Flag would never agree to this."
The General of the Escort Flag only has one daughter. How could he agree to let his daughter go to a political marriage?
“Your father wouldn’t agree either; it would discourage the soldiers.”
Soldiers fight for their country on the frontier, yet their daughters are to be sent away for political marriages, even though the emperor has daughters.
“Prince Thoreau proposed that the King would not immediately refuse, regardless of his reasons.”
Pei Zhi continued, "But the General of the Escort Flag will be extremely worried. When that time comes, if Mother goes to propose marriage for my brother, the Yan family will surely be overjoyed, right?"
Consort Lin couldn't help but ponder it, and it seemed to make some sense.
The emperor would not let the soldiers' hearts be broken, but the General of the Escort Flag would never gamble with his only daughter.
One option is to marry a prince, and the other is to marry a prince with whom one has a blood feud. It's an easy choice.
"The Yan family has rejected Mother Consort three times now, but Mother Consort has put aside past grievances and offered help in times of need. Presumably, the Yan family will do its best to help my brother."
Consort Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing Pei Zhi's words.
"As for Father, he couldn't refuse outright, and Yan Xinyue's engagement to my brother also gave Father an excuse, saving him trouble."
Consort Lin looked at Pei Zhi with surprise, "You've been injured, but why does your mind seem so much sharper?"
Pei Zhi knew that her changes would definitely arouse Lin Fei's suspicion.
"Before, I was just too bad at pleasing my mother. Only after I was injured did I realize how much suffering my mother had endured because of me."
Pei Zhi expressed her loyalty: "From now on, I will definitely be filial to my mother and help my mother and brother to achieve their wishes."
Consort Lin raised an eyebrow slightly. She was quite surprised that such flattering words would come from Pei Zhi's mouth.
Consort Lin originally wanted Pei Zhi to go on a political marriage, but if Pei Zhi could really get Pei Yuance to marry Yan Xinyue...
She could keep this daughter for a while.
"This matter is entrusted to you. Just let us know if you need anything, and your brother and I will cooperate with you."
After speaking, Consort Lin's tone became even more stern, "If things succeed, you will be a good daughter of your mother."
"What if it doesn't work..."
Pei Zhi understood the unfinished meaning in Consort Lin's words, "Mother, rest assured, if it doesn't work out, I am willing to go and marry into the family, so as not to stay in front of you and cause you any distress."
After receiving Pei Zhi's assurance, Consort Lin's expression improved considerably.
"Is the injury on your head alright?"
Pei Zhi shook her head, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I need some manpower for this mission."
Pei Zhi bit her lip, looking troubled: "I just woke up and there isn't a single palace servant in the room. I hope Mother can give me some pointers. Are the people in the palace people that I can use?"
Consort Lin snorted coldly, "The palace servants in your palace are far too negligent. You are injured, yet not a single person is there to serve you?"
Consort Lin may not be unaware that the palace servants attending to Pei Zhi were treating her poorly.
I just didn't care about my daughter before, and I was too lazy to take care of her.
Now that she needed Pei Zhi to do something for her, Consort Lin gave a look to the maidservant beside her.
"Granny Chang, you also need to keep an eye on the people serving the princess. Don't let them become too incompetent. If word gets out, won't people laugh at us?"
Granny Chang knelt down and begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant will go and teach them a good lesson so they won't forget who their masters are."
Pei Zhi returned to the side hall from the main hall and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The threat of a marriage alliance hung like a sword over her neck, yet it remained unmoved.
Even if Consort Lin's wish is fulfilled and Pei Yuance marries Yan Xinyue, it doesn't mean she can escape the marriage alliance.
If it's the Emperor and Empress's will, then even if Consort Lin is unwilling, it won't matter.
Pei Zhi guessed that she, the unfavored princess, was probably on the list of those the Empress favored for marriage alliances.
Pei Zhi held her forehead, her head throbbing with pain.
The palace maid brought over the medicine: "Princess, please drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician."
Pei Zhi noticed that the maidservant was unfamiliar and asked, "What's your name?"
"This servant was assigned to me by Granny Chang, and I haven't been given a name yet."
Pei Zhi understood. "From now on, you'll be called Chunhua. You'll help me manage the affairs of the palace."
As for why it's called Spring Flower, it's because, naturally, it's because of the phrase "spring flowers and autumn moon".
Pei Zhi couldn't do anything to Yan Xinyue for the time being, so he could only have the palace maid name her Chunhua to vent his anger a little.
After a few days of recuperation, Pei Zhi recovered significantly.
Pei Zhi has also been busy these past few days.
Pei Zhi, being a princess, was not allowed to leave the palace, so she asked Pei Yuanze for help, which led Prince Suoluo to meet Yan Xinyue.
Then, have Pei Yuance emphasize to Prince Solo that the General of the Vanguard only has one daughter, Yan Xinyue.
Normally, it's held in one's hands and kept in one's mouth.
This made Prince Thoreau realize just how much the General of the Vanguard cherished his daughter.
On this day, Pei Zhi was writing down useful information from the original owner's mind with a calligraphy brush.
Pei Zhi cannot limit her focus to the harem.
The original owner was an insignificant princess in the harem, who knew very little about the affairs of the court.
Pei Zhi closed her eyes and began to recall how she had seen those mission takers fail.
However, Pei Zhi discovered that she couldn't recall any details about how the mission takers performed their tasks.
[System, why are my memories of the mission taker in this world so unclear?]
[Because this world is too difficult, the system has granted the host the privilege of one rewind. Beyond that, the system is powerless.]
Pei Zhi didn't blame the system. Right now, all she knew was why the previous mission takers had failed.
However, Pei Zhi couldn't recall the specific experiences or details at all.
In other words, she can only grope her way across the river like a blind man.
If you don't touch it accurately, you could easily die. It's really... too exciting.
"What a terrible idea you came up with! It's completely useless."
The person didn't arrive, but an angry voice could be heard.
Pei Zhi's face flashed with disgust, but she still quickly got up.
Pei Zhi handed him a cup of tea and asked softly, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Pei Yuance waved his hand, refusing Pei Zhi's tea, which almost made Pei Zhi trip and fall.
Pei Zhi gripped the table, inwardly cursing Pei Yuanze for his volatile temper.
