Jiang Tian nodded: "This servant knows. Her Majesty the Empress has issued an order, saying that this servant should make preparations."
Murong Lie's arrogance immediately subsided: "Did my mother tell you?"
Jiang Tian replied calmly, "Yes, Her Majesty the Empress specifically instructed me to take good care of you and to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Murong Lie keenly noticed that she was referring to herself as a servant again: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. It's just that Her Majesty the Empress had someone give me another lecture, saying that she wanted me to understand the difference between superiors and inferiors. She also wanted you to see other beauties at the flower viewing banquet. Even if you can't marry them, at least she wanted to enlighten you. After all, in her heart, you deserve the best woman in the world."
Murong Lie curled his lips into a mocking smile, but remained silent.
Where is the best woman in the world? How come he doesn't know?
Since Jiang Tian already knew and was going with him, Murong Lie didn't say anything more.
With the old emperor's decree issued, people in the capital naturally began to take action.
To be honest, the noble families were very enthusiastic about selecting consorts for the princes.
Who wouldn't want their son-in-law to be an emperor? When one person attains power, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven. They would definitely want to take a gamble.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince has been ruled out.
Everyone knows that the old emperor and the crown prince are currently only in a state of mutual restraint. If the crown prince were to add another bargaining chip, with other powerful families lending their support, the emperor would absolutely not tolerate it.
When the balance is broken, no one will feel good.
Everyone naturally assumed that the Crown Prince was just there for show, and that the other princes were the main attraction.
Some people who were not firmly on the side of the Crown Prince and the Emperor have become active.
They also wanted to find a powerful backer, and nowadays, those princes were excellent candidates.
That's what Gu Qinyao's father thought in this life.
Everyone knows that his daughter is the most beautiful woman in the capital, or even the most beautiful woman in the world.
He had never seen anyone as beautiful as his daughter. He and his wife were of average appearance, but they never expected to have such a stunning beauty.
This stunning beauty must be made an empress to be worthy of the beauty bestowed upon her by heaven.
When Gu Qinyao entered the previous world, her father hoped that she could marry the Third Prince. In his opinion, the child born to the Imperial Concubine would be the ultimate winner.
No wonder her father's official position hasn't changed much over the years; his eyesight is poor, so everything he does is in vain.
While Gu Qinyao outwardly appeased her father, she was actually already thinking about how to win the Crown Prince's favor.
Their last meeting was full of mistakes and misunderstandings.
In her opinion, that memory would be better deleted, but unfortunately she couldn't do much to Murong Lie.
He is the main figure supporting this world. As the one who tries to win him over, Gu Qinyao failed multiple times in the past when she used her cheat ability on him. This time, she can only learn her lesson and be more careful.
However, the flower viewing banquet is a good occasion, and perhaps she still has a chance to turn the tide.
Gu Qinyao would never give up easily.
From any perspective, she must successfully win over the enemy before she can begin her next mission.
She'd finally gotten a second chance; if she lost again, she'd be too ashamed to face her colleagues.
Murong Lie was unaware that he had long been a hot commodity in the eyes of others.
He was extremely annoyed.
He wasn't too bothered by the grand cause of establishing an empire, after all, he had experienced it once in his previous life, so even if he just followed the same path in this life, he shouldn't make any major mistakes.
But my own heart is the only thing I can't control.
He had already devoted far too much attention to a palace maid who was not particularly special at all.
He told himself to control himself, but he just couldn't.
However, he knew very well that he couldn't even distinguish what his own heartbeat was.
What exactly were his thoughts about this woman?
Murong Lie didn't want to think about it too deeply.
Because that woman didn't even think.
After returning from celebrating Jiang Tian's birthday, the two resumed their previous way of getting along. He acted as the crown prince, and Jiang Tian acted as her obedient palace maid, each doing their own thing.
When he was upset, Jiang Tian ate and slept well, and didn't take these things to heart at all.
Murong Lie couldn't force her to think about it, and their relationship wasn't that close.
His pride makes it even less likely that he will take a step forward.
So now, the situation is that Murong Lie is the only one with a burning desire inside.
Jiang Tian didn't care about these things at all.
It's likely that her only thoughts, besides leaving the palace, were to buy herself a good burial plot.
If you can't figure something out, just put it aside.
Murong Lie also didn't want to waste his brainpower thinking too much, since this woman was by his side anyway.
After some time, the flower viewing party finally began.
On this day, all the young ladies from wealthy families waited at the palace gate.
They were all dressed up more beautifully than flowers.
For these women, marriage is a lifelong commitment. If they can choose a suitable husband, then their lives will at least not have been in vain.
In order to make a good impression on their ideal husbands, they put in a lot of effort to dress up, each one more beautiful than the last.
However, as soon as the Lin family's daughter came out, the young ladies immediately lowered the curtains of the carriage.
The reason is simple: Gu Qinyao's title as the most beautiful woman in the capital is well-deserved.
Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
Her face has undergone countless data considerations and meticulous crafting, so it naturally has to be stunningly beautiful to justify such a high cost.
In a sense, this can be considered a perk of winning over the host.
Gu Qinyao was of average appearance in modern times. Although she could transform herself into a beauty through makeup, she had never experienced that kind of stunning beauty.
Once you enter the world of strategy and exploration, things will be different.
She is the most beautiful woman in the world, and men will all fall at her feet.
Even if they didn't have any special feelings for her at first glance, Gu Qinyao only needed a few props to make them submit to her.
In the world of these guides, Gu Qinyao gained an unparalleled experience.
Otherwise, her desire for challenge wouldn't be so strong.
If Murong Lie fails in that world, so be it. How many people there are who can maintain a 100% success rate in conquering it?
But Gu Qinyao refused to admit defeat.
She desperately wanted to win the affections of those difficult-to-win male leads.
It's like playing a video game; the more difficult the level, the greater the sense of accomplishment from overcoming it.
Ignoring the stares of others, Gu Qinyao maintained an elegant demeanor throughout as she entered the palace.
The flower-viewing banquet was held in a very grand manner.
The emperor was just saying it casually, but as those who carried it out, they had to do their best to ensure they wouldn't be punished.
Besides the young ladies from wealthy families, the princes were also waiting.
It's been such a long time; Father Emperor is finally willing to step out of his comfort zone and think about their marriage.
