Duke Ning Guo sighed, held his daughter in his arms, and patted her shoulders to comfort her.
"Zhaorong, dad is all for your own good. You believe in dad's vision. He will never harm you. Although Gu Qingze is a commoner and has no official or position, if you marry him, you will definitely be better off than marrying him in the future. The emperor is more beautiful, and you will get what you want sooner or later."
Princess Zhaorong's eyes blurred with tears and she sobbed: "But dad, my daughter doesn't just want to be a queen, she really likes the emperor's cousin..."
"You like him, but he doesn't like you. Yesterday at the palace banquet, my father saw clearly that the emperor only had the queen in his eyes from beginning to end. He didn't even look at you. Even the Queen Mother Even if he really decrees a marriage for you, even if you marry the emperor, he won't treat you sincerely, and are you really willing to submit to others? The people you hate will oppress you every day, but you can't? You have been arrogant and arrogant since you were a child because you don't bow to her based on your status. I'm afraid you won't be able to live like this for a day. If you think about what dad said carefully, do you really want to marry the emperor? "
Ning Guogong persuaded him earnestly.
Princess Zhaorong only felt that her mind was in chaos. The scene described by Ning Guogong made her heartbroken when she thought about it. He made her subordinate to Shen Ning, made her kowtow and salute when she saw Shen Ning? Then she might as well be dead!
"No, no, my daughter doesn't want to live like that! However, my daughter can't let go of the emperor's cousin..." Princess Zhaorong flattened her mouth and cried again.
She thought of Mo Chuan's handsome and refined appearance as clearly as if she were right in front of her eyes. In the three years since she left Kyoto, she had not thought of Mo Chuan ten or eight times a day. She not only admired Mo Chuan's identity, but also She loved his handsome face and his cold and aloof demeanor. Even if he didn't speak, just being able to look at him silently was a great enjoyment for her.
When she thought of abandoning her cousin, who was as handsome as a banished emperor, to marry that country bumpkin with an ordinary appearance who was not even worthy of carrying his cousin's shoes, her heart felt clogged, like a big piece of cotton.
"Dad, why do you insist on your daughter marrying that country bumpkin? Even if your daughter can't marry the emperor's cousin, there are many princes and grandsons with prominent families in Kyoto. There are so many people who admire your daughter. You don't want your daughter to marry a farmer. Country bumpkin, that will be laughed at."
"Silly girl, don't be so short-sighted in looking at people. Have you ever heard of a saying: Don't deceive young people into poverty! You think Gu Qingze is a country bumpkin, but in the eyes of his father, this son has a bright future! You marry him, You will definitely live a more prosperous life in the future than marrying anyone else!" Duke Ning Guo said confidently.
Princess Zhaorong wiped her tears and said dubiously: "But my daughter really can't see what's good about him. He's so ugly, doesn't know martial arts, and is a lame..."
"Nonsense, he is not a cripple at all!" Ning Guogong interrupted her and scolded.
"But he has been sitting on that broken wooden chair without moving his buttocks. He clearly has bad legs!"
"What a broken wooden chair! Don't underestimate that chair. It's basically a very sophisticated hidden weapon mechanism. There are so many mechanisms inside that even my father suffered from it!"
