Seeing that the princess had been crying and angry for a short while, but now seemed to be fine again, looking like she was about to hear some gossip and even started to think seriously, Tian Yu really thought she was just a carefree little girl. So she sat down to drink tea and waited for her to think.
The princess thought for a while, then exclaimed in surprise, "I remember now! I heard that Brother Moyan met a female general from the Chen Kingdom on the battlefield. Rumor has it that they met secretly on the battlefield, and that the female general also fell in love with Brother Moyan at first sight. Could it be her?!"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, since I moved out of the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis hasn't come to see me. You saw when I sent him things, but the Marquis didn't want to see me."
"It seems the rumors are true. Brother Mo Yan must have fallen for that female general."
"Possibly!" Tian Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Then why is he still so determined to keep you here?"
“I’m just an ordinary woman with no family background. If he gets unhappy one day, he can just divorce me. But you’re different.”
"So, Brother Moyan is refusing to marry me because of that female general."
"I didn't say that, Princess, don't overthink it. We're both pitiful people, so let's not hurt each other anymore. As the saying goes, why should women make things difficult for each other? Besides, I'm not even as good as you!"
"Really? But what am I going to do? I'll pass the imperial examination next year, and if there isn't a suitable candidate, my father will definitely send me to marry a foreign ruler." The princess instantly became sad and sat down in her chair to cry.
Is the princess afraid of being married off to a distant place?
"Hmm! You don't know, my second sister married into the Chen Kingdom and they've been fighting again for only a few years. I heard she's not doing well in Chen Kingdom, caught between the two countries, not liked by either side, and her fate is still unknown."
"That's right! Don't worry, Princess. There's still a year left. I believe you will find someone you love," Tian Yu said, unable to bear it any longer.
"Even if I like it, it's useless if Father Emperor doesn't agree."
"So, is the Marquis your best choice?"
"Yes! Looking around, among all the scions of noble families in the capital, only Brother Moyan is the best. He also has meritorious service, and Father is very satisfied with him."
"Aren't there suitable candidates among the other prominent families?"
"Yes! But I don't like him. Weiwei also said that Brother Moyan is the most suitable for me."
"Really? Even so, the princess still wants to marry the marquis?"
"Yes! Tian Yu, can you help me? I'm begging you, please let me marry Brother Mo Yan!"
Seeing the princess's pitiful state, Tian Yu felt a little soft-hearted and thought for a moment before saying, "Okay! I'll help you, but next time you come here, you can't bring anyone else; you can only come by yourself."
"Is it not allowed that Vivi is my best friend?"
"No! Princess, you are an adult now. You can't always listen to others. You have to ask your own heart."
"My own heart! Okay! I understand. So, can you ask Brother Moyan to marry me?"
"No! You can only rely on yourself; there's nothing I can do to help you."
"Then? What do I need to do?"
"I will invite the Marquis over tomorrow. The rest is up to the princess. But remember, only the princess can come. This is your business, and you can only make the decision yourself."
“Okay! I understand, but…” The princess wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Xingyun who came in.
"I heard that unruly princess is here again. Tian Yu, are you alright?" Li Xingyun was pushed into the house by Green Willow.
"Brother! I'm fine, the princess didn't make things difficult for me," Tian Yu said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
"Young Master Li... Young Master Li," the princess stammered, her face flushed.
"Princess! I have a leg ailment, so I cannot perform the proper greeting!" Li Xingyun said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"No...no need! I...I have something to do, so...I'll take my leave now." The princess hurriedly finished speaking and walked towards the door, almost tripping over the threshold. Fortunately, the maid who came with her caught her.
Seeing the princess who was clearly fleeing in panic, Tian Yu was very puzzled. She was fine just now, so why did she suddenly change? But after all, she was a princess, so Tian Yu quickly chased after her.
No matter what Tian Yu said along the way, the princess nodded in agreement. At the courtyard gate, the fluffy dog bared its teeth, staring at Li Weiwei and the others. Only when it saw Tian Yu approaching did the dog wag its tail and circle around her, which terrified the princess. After Tian Yu repeatedly assured her, the princess finally boarded the carriage. Li Weiwei wanted to warn Tian Yu, but every time she opened her mouth, the fluffy dog looked like it was about to pounce and tear her apart, scaring them into leaving quickly. Tian Yu patted the fluffy dog's head and smiled at Ji Feng, saying, "It seems that with the fluffy dog in our courtyard, the safety level is much higher."
"Yes! The furry thing is very intelligent."
"Let's go in!"
Tian Yu felt much more relaxed after seeing the princess off. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't sent anything to Zhao Moyan yet, so she quickly ran to get the food box. As soon as she stepped across the threshold, Tian Yu froze. Qiu Ju was also taken aback when she saw the people in the living room.
Zhao Moyan was sitting where she had just been sitting, and the food box was open. When Tian Yu came in, Zhao Moyan didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and drank her tea.
"Since you're here, I don't need to look for you anymore. Here are some snacks for you, enjoy!" Tian Yu stepped forward and placed the snacks on the table. She wanted to leave quickly after speaking, but before she could even touch the door, it slammed shut in front of her with a loud bang. The force was so great that Tian Yu didn't even have a chance to cry for help when she saw Qiu Ju outside the door. Her hair was blown up by the wind. Remembering how he killed people, Tian Yu was so frightened that she stood there for a long time without daring to move. Zhao Moyan didn't say anything either, and the two of them remained in a stalemate.
Tian Yu couldn't stand it any longer. Thinking that he probably didn't know anything, she smiled and turned to Zhao Moyan, saying, "Is there something you need, Lord Marquis?"
Zhao Moyan remained silent and did not look at Tian Yu. Tian Yu took a deep breath and continued, "When did the Marquis arrive? Why didn't you inform me?"
