Chapter 1557: Chapter 1495: Someone Is in High Demand
Wufu never expected that Ah Jiu would soon create a scenario for the two to "encounter."
In Changan City, the most heated topic lately has been the Beiyan delegation, as well as the horseball match between Nanyue and Beiyan during the Empress Dowagerâs birthday celebration, and also the womenâs horseball team. Of course, the womenâs team is purely for the Empress Dowagerâs birthday entertainment.
Therefore, people are most focused on the menâs teams at that time, no, the match between Beiyan and Nanyue.
Besides that, the focus is on the Prince Jin from Beiyan. Itâs said that he is naturally noble, the Legitimate Son of the Empress Dowager of Beiyan, extremely honorable in status, and remarkably handsome like Pan An. Most importantly, this prince, worthy of the title, is already of age but hasnât been married yet.
From ancient times, Beiyan and Nanyue have been a family. Originally, Beiyan was located in the Northern Region, not as prosperous as Nanyue with its river-owning governance. However, the current Emperor of Beiyan is a diligent and ambitious overlord. Since his ascension, he has developed agriculture, promoted water management, and advocated for conquering on horseback. Over the years, under Beiyanâs campaign across the four directions, neighboring small countries have bowed in submission, expanding its territory and increasing its prosperity.
Nowadays, many people from Nanyue do business in Beiyan, even settling down there. So, Beiyan is undeniably a flourishing great nation. And to be the Main Consort of a great nationâs prince, what an honor that would be!
As a result, the Noble Young Ladies waiting to get married are all eager to see just how noble that Prince Jin is, and all hope to have an encounter with the prince, hopefully falling in love at first sight.
But that prince is rather elusive, making him very hard to encounter.
Listening to her two friends gossiping, Wufu kept a subtle smile on her lips; somebody was quite popular indeed.
"Everyone wants to marry into wealth, tsk tsk, but they donât realize that the high branch is harder to climb than Xiangguo Templeâs mountain. I really donât know where they get such ideas." Changping said with disdain.
"Only you, this daughter of heaven, would disdain these princes and nobles!" Guan Chuying laughed and said, "Others, without your status, naturally look up to them."
Changping sighed, resting her chin in her hands, and said, "Princes and nobles, their honorable status is sometimes a shackle."
After going on a trip and returning, her heart had broadened considerably, becoming more mature and composed.
Guan Chuying glanced at Wufu, and the two shared a smile, saying, "Donât let others hear you say that, lest they say you donât know how blessed you are, talking so lightly."
"I am just saying here!" Changping fiddled with the vermilion hairpin on the tray, picking up a Ruby pendent and compared it to Wufuâs hair, saying, "This pendent is nicely made, quite suited to you."
âRecoveredâ now, she arranged to go shopping with Wufu and Guan Chuying, buying a few pieces of jewelry to wear at the Empress Dowagerâs birthday banquet.
Wufu allowed her to insert the pendent into her hair, then turned to Guan Chuying and asked, "Are you going to Fragrant Hills Pasture for hunting?"
"Since youâre going, then I have to go too, though my riding skills are average. Youâll have to take care of me then!" Guan Chuying laughed.
Wufu replied, "Our Commandery Princess Changping can even play horseball now, why not ask her, instead of me?"
"Stop being so modest; itâs you who wonât join me." Changping snorted, and then continued, "Wufu, if you could come and join, winning would be a great honor. Have you really not thought about it?"
For someone of her humble status, participating in such an event would be an honor, win or lose, and would elevate her status somewhat.
But Wufu just wouldnât agree, and sometimes Changping really wants to pry open her head to see what matters to her inside.
