Hearing the Emperor’s words, the members of the royal family immediately perked up their ears. To be honest, the Princess of the Northern Continent held high status, but they did not want to marry her.
After all, she had a special status and could not be treated lightly. They did not want their household to be in turmoil.
“Of course, with you, the Emperor. Ever since Zhi Shan met the Emperor last year, she has fallen in love with you.” Sovereign King Ke replied.
After the officials heard this, they all looked at Sovereign King Ke in surprise.
No one had expected him to openly announce Princess Zhi Shan’s thoughts to the public in the imperial court.
The Emperor coughed uncomfortably.
Of course, he also knew that the Northern Continent was much more open than the Ming Dynasty, so he didn’t care about it and said, “You know, the consort selection is about to start.
“After the selection ends, let’s announce it together officially.
“You siblings can have fun in our country for the time being. After all, once you enter the palace, it will be difficult to leave.”
“Thankyou for your understanding, Emperor.” After hearing this, the Sovereign King Ke’s heart finally settled down.
Zhou Ying could not be bothered to look anymore. She glanced at Gu Wanning and saw she was coaxing Yangyang to get out of bed with a sincere smile on her face.
Knowing that she had thought things through, she was relieved.
Princess Jiarou of the Western Continent arrived at the end of the month. Although this princess was also smiling, there was no trace of happiness in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of hatred.
This made Zhou Ying take this matter to heart.
That night, she told Gu Chengrui about this matter. “I’m sure this person isn’t easy to deal with. She’d better not cause any more trouble.”
“We just defeated the Western Continent. Perhaps her relatives were killed by King Ning and the others.
“Pay attention to her at night. If she really has evil intentions, we won’t keep her.
“Otherwise, if she makes a move on the children, it will be a big problem.”
“I will.”
“By the way, the doctors who have been transferred from all over the country to learn suturing techniques have already arrived in the capital. I have to start teaching the day after tomorrow, and I’ll come home much later than usual. You and Guoguo don’t have to wait for me for dinner.”
“Got it. You have to take care of your health, too.”
“I will.”
The next morning, the envoy of the Western Continent, General Bai Yang, presented the list of gifts.
When the court session ended, the Emperor also informed them that the consort selection would officially begin the day after tomorrow, which was the second day of February.
That day, Princess Zhi Shan and Princess Jiarou would also be heading into the palace to meet the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress.
After Zhou Ying received the news, she monitored them that night.
She just so happened to see Princess Jiarou beating a maid up.
Maybe it’s because of habit, or perhaps it’s because she’s afraid of attracting any attention. The maid tightly clenched her teeth, not daring to make any sound.
However, cold sweat was dripping down her face and body from the pain.
Zhou Ying was reluctant to watch, but she didn’t stop it.
If possible, she might be able to find the source of Princess Jiarou’s hatred from the maid.
When the maid fainted, Jiarou stopped with a lingering feeling and said, “Someone, come.”
Two women dressed in the same Western Continent attire immediately came in when she spoke out.
Without Princess Jiarou’s command, they skillfully carried the maid out and threw her into a nearby room.
General Bai Yang, who had just returned from chatting with Sovereign King Ke, saw the maid being carried out.
He immediately went over.
The two other maids were startled when they saw him, but they still greeted him. “General Bai, greetings.”
Bai Yang ignored them and went forward to take a look at the maid. When he saw that she had already fainted, he turned his head and asked the two women, “Is it the princess again?”
