"Dad, what's going on with the Crown Princess?"
On the way back, Yun Duo couldn't help but ask Gu Shaoyong a question.
"The Crown Princess?" Gu Shaoyong was slightly taken aback, turned his head to look at Yun Duo, and asked, "Duo'er, how do you know about the Crown Princess? Who told you?"
"Gu Pingting." Yun Duo didn't say Gu Pingting's name aloud, but simply stated her name.
Gu Shaoyong's brows furrowed unconsciously. Seeing Yun Duo looking at him with 'curiosity,' he thought for a moment and said, "This is something from your grandfather's generation. Back then, your grandfather was in charge of the military in the southwest and had an agreement with His Majesty the King. He fully supported the War of Resistance against Japan. After the victory of the War of Resistance, the direct descendants of the Gu family, either daughters or granddaughters, could marry into the royal family... to be precise, the Crown Prince."
Strictly speaking, Gu Duo is now the only legitimate son in the Gu family, and his daughter, Yun Duo, is the only legitimate granddaughter. Yun Duo should be the one most qualified to marry the Crown Prince.
However, he himself was a free spirit in love, and even fought for several years to be able to marry the woman he loved. Therefore, after finding his daughter, he did not consider the possibility of an arranged marriage.
After a pause, Gu Shaoyong looked at Yun Duo and coaxed, "Duo'er, tell Daddy what Pingting told you, okay?"
"It's nothing. She tried to bully me, but failed, and ended up getting angry at me instead. Then, when she left, she inexplicably said something about being the future crown princess, which I found very strange." Yun Duo looked at Gu Shaoyong with an 'innocent' expression, a hint of smugness that she herself didn't realize.
Gu Shaoyong noticed it. He thought about the scene for a moment, and inexplicably felt a little comfortable, so he couldn't help but reveal a very faint smile.
Thinking of his daughter's intelligence, he decided to share his thoughts with her: "Duo'er, although, strictly speaking, you are the one most qualified to marry into the Gu family and the Crown Prince, I hope you can be happy and successful for the rest of your life. Even if you do get married, you should marry someone you love."
"So, you don't need to worry. Dad won't let you get married into an arranged marriage. If Pingting wants to be the Crown Princess, let her be. We won't get involved."
"If you don't want to, don't even think about getting your father to agree to marry you off to him, let alone the crown prince or even the Emperor himself."
Yun Duo's question to Gu Shaoyong about the 'Crown Princess' was actually for this very purpose. She certainly didn't want to be suddenly pushed into an arranged marriage one day.
Hearing Gu Shaoyong's words, Yun Duo felt a little relieved. She nodded and said innocently, "Yes, that's what I told Gu Pingting too. I don't want to be a crown princess. I just want to be Yun Duo. Oh, now I'm Gu Yun Duo. Anyway, we're all Yun Duo, so I'll just be myself."
Gu Shaoyong's smile grew even wider. He reached out and ruffled Yun Duo's hair, saying with a doting expression, "Good girl. You're right. Our Duo'er, just be yourself and grow up happily. As for other things... you're still young, let's not think about them for now."
It has to be said that every father who loves his daughter has one thing in common: they all hope that their little girl will never grow up, so that she won't be "taken over" by some other man.
Gu Shaoyong was no exception.
He wouldn't have brought this up if Yunduo hadn't asked him.
His daughter is still so young!
