2581 Chapter 2581-Prince Consort
Lu Zheng, Zheng Qiu, and fatty w.a.n.g were speechless when they heard Gu Xin’s words translated by the Ministry of Rites ‘official.
....
You’re flattering him and saying that he’s done something bad to you, yet you’re not stingy with your generosity and appreciation.
How could the envoy of nanlin not continue? how could he not say what he wanted to hear?
Lord Jiang was indeed a little embarra.s.sed. After all, this matter was their princess’s fault from the beginning. From her liking general Lu at the palace Banquet to her provocation of Princess Xinxin, and her private little tricks.
But at the same time, Lord Jiang also felt gratified. At least, their princess’s excellence would be recognized even in the great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Lord Jiang put aside his prejudice and didn’t think that Gu Xin was insulting their princess and prince Consort. He began to tell Gu Xin the love story between the princess and prince Consort of nanlin.
The eldest Princess of nanlin was not the first child of the Prince and Queen of nanlin. The first child of the couple could not be kept. It died before it was one year old. It took another three years for the couple to have the eldest Princess.
After the eldest Princess was born, the couple had high hopes for her and directly named her Bao, long Baoer.
Moreover, when the eldest Princess was about one year old, the Queen became pregnant again. The couple treated the child even better and felt that the eldest Princess was their Lucky Star. Not only was she growing up well, but she was also free of illness and disasters. She had also brought along her younger brother and sister.
Therefore, they doted on the eldest Princess even more. Even when the second Princess, Long Zhu ‘er, was born, the eldest Princess was not given the cold shoulder.
When she was young, the eldest Princess was still very lively. However, ever since the two sisters went to school together, the eldest Princess had become more sensible, perhaps because she suddenly realized that she had to take care of her younger sister.
She was doing very well in all aspects and was not as lively as when she was young. She had become gentle and quiet. However, if someone bullied the second Princess, the eldest Princess would be the first to step down.
Soon after, the third Princess also entered the school. The third princess’s birth caused the Queen to be injured and unable to give birth. Therefore, the third Princess was also treated the same way as the first princess.
However, the third Princess did not have the resolve to take care of her younger siblings because she did not have any younger siblings. She only had an elder sister. Furthermore, she was the most beloved child of her parents, so it was natural for her to be arrogant and domineering.
Faintly, when the Three Sisters were together, it could be seen that the eldest Princess and the second Princess were closer. The third Princess did not seem to be on the same side as them, but when it came to the children of the officials outside, the Three Sisters were on the same side. No one would ever think that their relations.h.i.+p was not good.
The eldest and third princesses were all doted on, so it could be said that the second Princess was the unloved child.
However, after the second Princess turned ten, her talents in all aspects began to show. The King and Queen invested more in her, so the nanlin royal family did not favor her.
And the year the second Princess revealed her talent, the Prince Consort entered the nanlin Royal Academy.
The Prince Consort was the son of a general on the border of nanlin. He had followed his father to guard nanlin by the sea since he was young and was only sent back to the Imperial City of nanlin when he was 14 years old.
He was tall and handsome, and he had an extraordinary way of talking. He was very popular with the young ladies in the palace.
The king of nanlin and the Queen had taken a fancy to him and wanted to make him their son-in-law, but they couldn’t decide which daughter to marry him to.
