1578 Lady Dier and Engagement 2
Zhao Dier had been complaining about the breakfast served to her, which was worse than the food she got at Piaomiao Pavilion, when she heard the question.
Why was this his business?
If not, was the King trying to have a hand in her marriage? Who did he think he was?
n.o.body from the Saint Divine Land, whether the King or a lord or prince was a match for Zhao Dier. How ridiculous.
“If not, we still have two lords in our country. And they are old enough and yet to be engaged. Lady Dier, if you have time, you can meet them,” the King said with a smile.
Lord Yu and Lord Yan were both suitors for her. If she could fall for Lord Yan, then everything would be much easier.
Lord Yu was obedient too, but he had been traveling about these years, and he might have developed a new personality. On the other hand, Lord Yan obeyed everything he said.
Zhao Dier’s guess was confirmed.
She did not even conceal her disdain. She said straightforwardly, “I am not engaged, but you know what our Pavilion is like? My future husband has to be an outstanding man, and no lord from your country is worth the while.”
“”
“If you have time, King, you can think about the Golden Rolls and stay away from my private affairs. My father will arrange everything for me.”
“”
“Who do you think you are?”
Before she could finish her speech, Elder Qianji stopped her.
The Elder Miss was right, but she could not brag like this.
Elder Qianji explained. “Elder Miss is not engaged, but our Head has his own arrangement. Elder Miss is the elder daughter of our Head and she has a very high-level cultivation. So she is not a minor figure at Piaomiao Pavilion. Her future husband has to be well-selected as well.”
“Many Heads from other doors have come to propose, and we have turned them down, let alone a lord from your small land?”
“”
“Men without cultivation are nothing in our eyes.”
“”
“King, you better focus on your breakfast. You can’t have a hand in everything in our Pavilion.” Qianji threatened.
The King gave a light cough and laughed embarra.s.sedly.
In his eyes, Piaomiao Pavilion was very outstanding, but it was just a Pavilion whilst the Saint Divine Land was a huge country. The land’s lord should be a good match.
How could they be so arrogant?
Without saying anything more, the King turned to his breakfast. He needed Fanghua Pills from Piaomiao Pavilion after all.
It was a terrible and embarra.s.sing breakfast.
The people from Piaomiao Pavilion got up and left and the King did not stop them.

Zhao Dier shouted loudly despite being in the court. “Who does the King think he is? Look at his face? How can he offer a lord to me? Shame on him!”
Zhao Dier’s future husband should be someone excellent.
He should be as excellent as Leader Mingjing, not some trash like this!
How arrogant.
She would have dug out the King’s tongue if not for Elder Qianji who stopped her.
“Feed him more Dementia Pill, in case he keeps nagging at me.” Zhao Dier shouted loudly.
Qianji nodded in agreement, but he suddenly had a weird look on his face.
