Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since Liu Shii started talking about Liang Sheng, Zhang Miaozhens mood gradually sank to the bottom. Hearing Liu Shii ask this question, she felt sowhat lost.
She turned to look at Liu Shii and answered, Im not really familiar with him. Little General Liang and my brothers are acquainted, but as you should know, we, noble ladies confined to our chambers, rarely participate in social gatherings. Attending poetry sessions where n and won mingle is already the limit for us. There cant be any personal connections in private. The fact was they werent familiar.
At least from Liang Shengs attitude, their relationship was basically a nod of acknowledgent within the elite circles of the Capital, and this nod was rely a matter of courtesy!
Liu Shiis modern soul, after occupying this body, behaved in a manner that was considered shocking and outrageous by society.
But her advantage lay in the fact that she had already earned a notorious reputation from the night she first appeared and then had the misfortune of having a fool as her fiance. It couldnt have been worse. Therefore, society was relatively more tolerant of her.
In a less polite tone: Oh, Miss Liu? Its not surprising that soone who lost her virtue before marriage would do such things!
It was this kind of attitude.
Thinking that Zhang Miaozhen was a candidate for the position of the Crown Princes consort, Liu Shii decided not to delve further and asked, Its said that the selection of the Crown Princes consort will be finalized on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and theres less than three months left now. Have I been too busy recently to notice any progress, or has there really been no movent?
Changing the topic, Zhang Miaozhen beca more composed and replied, These matters should be left to fate.bender
Looking around to confirm that apart from Lian Zhi and Lian Qiao, there was no one else nearby, Liu Shii grabbed Zhang Miaozhens hand and leaned closer to her ear, whispering, Miaozhen, what do you think are the chances of you being the chosen one?
Ah? This question surprised Zhang Miaozhen more than before. She said, This isnt sothing I can decide. Even if I ponder the outco, it seems futile, doesnt it?
Liu Shii stared at her for a mont and said, So, the Zhang family isnt very enthusiastic about it?
This delved into more secretive matters. Zhang Miaozhen glanced around and then whispered, Our ancestors attitude is also laissez-faire. We havent thought too much about the result. And
She sighed imperceptibly and continued, I always feel that the Crown Princess will choose one from the three of us. Does that an the remaining two are truly rejected?
Liu Shii was startled.!!!
Well, soone as high-ranking and influential as Grand Secretary Zhang, a veteran statesman, would undoubtedly understand these dynamics. Even if Huangfu Hes position was secure now, he still had to consider the future. Stability at present didnt guarantee eternal stability.
There were three remaining candidates for the Crown Princess position. Choosing one ant what for the other two?
There were two positions for secondary consorts!
So, considering these issues from the perspective of the Empress and the Crown Prince, it was undoubtedly wise to bring the Liu, Zhang, and Miao families under their influence. Marriages had always been the most effective way to consolidate power.
Seeing that she understood, Zhang Miaozhen lifted the corner of her mouth, her smile bitter. To be honest, neither my father nor my mother is particularly eager for this matter. Its just we have no choice.
Saying these words was a form of heartfelt confession.
She smiled faintly at Liu Shii and said, So, in reality, I envy you. Although King Dun Yu lacks intelligence, he is sincere, and he treats you well. Childrens temperants, well, they can still be taught to beco better, right?
Youre right! Speaking of her silly puppy, Liu Shii couldnt help but smile.
Honestly, after being away for a while, she missed him a little..
