1856 Ploy
"Is this fine? Would it aggravate the emperor?"
"The imperial edict only says that the daughter of the Pangu Tribe Chief is to be married to the crown prince of the Divine Province. It did not specify my name, so this doesn't count as insubordination," Jing Linyao explained.
The maidservants looked at each other and were momentarily at a loss for words.
In reality, everybody was well aware that what the emperor of the Divine Province valued was Princess Jing's capability, cultivation, and tactics.
Although the imperial edict didn't specify which daughter of the chief, but…
It was rather unsuitable for Princess Jing's youngest sister to marry the crown prince of the Divine Province when she as the eldest daughter had yet to marry.
The emperor might get infuriated if he knew of this deceit.
Jing Linyao sniggered. "Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince burn the emperor's edict? I had long known that this crown prince isn't someone easy to communicate with. I had only sought him out to make a deal, but unfortunately he…"
The maidservants sighed: That's right. That willful crown prince directly burned the imperial edict without even sparing it a glance. This unexpected move truly astonished them.
Princess Jing picked up her cup of tea and downed it. Afterwards, she flung down her teacup and laughed out loud. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there! Help me arrange a meeting with that Crown Prince Mo again and tell him, I want to make a deal with him. He would definitely be most interested."
The maidservants nodded at this, and then they left the room respectfully one by one.
After closing the door, one of the older maidservants remarked with a sigh, "I wonder if Princess will regret today's decision down the line."
They had also seen that Crown Prince Mo today. The extent of his majestic and aristocratic bearing made him a handsome man only seen once every thousand years.
They truly felt from the bottom of their hearts that this kind of man made a good match with their Princess Jing.
If they truly could make a union, that would be a cooperation between giants, sweeping away all obstacles in their path.
Unfortunately, Princess Jing did not have such thoughts.
Even though Jing Linyao did not know what her maidservants were thinking, she could probably make a guess if she saw their regretful expressions.
Indeed, Crown Prince Mo was the second time she saw such an outstanding man in her life.
The first time she saw a similarly outstanding man was in that sandstorm in the desert three years ago.
She would occasionally think of this man ever since, but that was only every once in a while.
Since her birth, she was a woman who shouldered the fate of the Pangu Tribe.
She did not need to rely on men. The military force she wielded right now had been built up by herself in these past ten years.
She had ambition and desire, but this was all rooted in the fact that she conquered it herself.
She believed that she could accomplish her goals one day.
But before that day came, she must lie low. Whether it be Jing Qiyao or Jing Minyao, they were only small ants that served as a brick in the foundation of her grand project.
She, Jing Linyao, had never needed to rely on a man!
She laughed self-deprecatingly and then lay down in bed while fully clothed.
She was exhausted from chasing after Crown Prince Mo for more than half the day. She needed to lie down and contemplate her future actions.
Trials and tribulations were only a part of life's experiences.
In the end, all this would become a view of flowers that blossomed for her!
