After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Zi'an said, "This is indeed good news. It seems that it wouldn't be a problem for the princess to ascend the throne. She may not have the title of emperor, but she has the power of one. I wish you success in achieving your goals soon."
"Your Highness, Lady Meng requests an audience."
Princess Wang was not in a good mood. The envoys were like slippery eels, paying respects to her while harboring their own agendas. She didn't want to see Meng Nu at the moment, but Meng Nu's family still held some influence in the capital.
"Let her in."
After giving a proper curtsy, Meng Nu's eyes gleamed as she rose and asked, "Your Highness, is there a gentleman you've taken a fancy to at this banquet?"

She glanced at Meng Nu, but only gave her a cursory look, too lazy to look at her again. Even so, Meng Nu still came over happily every time. In her opinion, it was a gesture from the powerful family behind Meng Nu, so she didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Nu's often inappropriate remarks.
