1640 In Court 3
“You are the Phoenix Girl, and your marriage should not be as casual as before. Your marriage is related to the Saint Divine Land, and the state’s affairs. You are not going to marry Lord Huai any more, and as for what your marriage will be like, it depends on me. I will assign you a good marriage, so you should think about it, instead of behaving over the top,” the King said impatiently.
He had a very angry look on his face.
Hearing these, Gu Chaoyan was not annoyed, she was confused.
The King seemed quite strange today, at least, he was different from before.
However, this strange behavior did not only appear today, but started from the day when the banquet started.
The King had always wanted her to marry the Crown Prince, which was something she was aware of all this time. However…
He still feared her identity as the Phoenix Girl, so he had made many dark plans in secret, rather than mentioning it in the open, but today was different.
What was the cause of the exception?
Because of the schools like Piaomiao Pavilion?
Those schools were here for her sake, so the King should fear her, rather than cause trouble with her.
Gu Chaoyan just could not understand what was going on.
“Do you understand what I said?” The King sounded furious, as he asked Gu Chaoyan.
“Of course.”
“I make the arrangements for the country, and for you. Marrying Lord Huai was a good thing for you before when you were not the Phoenix Girl, but you are the Phoenix Girl and Lord Huai doesn’t deserve you.”
“…”
“Lord Huai has been spoiled by the Queen and he has no business and can do nothing. He has no use because he has to be supported by the country. He will only slow you down,” the King said with a softer tone, because he was trying to persuade Gu Chaoyan with whatever words he could think of.
Well…
Gu Chaoyan believed that what the King said was true.
In his eyes, among all his sons, the Crown Prince was the only excellent son who resembled him the most.
If one day, he knew that the Head of the Shadow Door was the son he liked least, she wondered what expression he would have.
“You can think about this, and I won’t force you to do anything.” The King felt that it was enough. So he stopped and hoped to leave some time for her to accept the truth.
Women always cared more about love than the state’s situation. That was what Jiang Shuang did.
“…”
“I thought that you would realize this point yourself, but you are still hiding the Golden Rolls.”
“…”
“I am not asking you. I am ordering you to give them the Golden Rolls.” The King stared at Gu Cangyan whenever Golden Rolls were mentioned. His eyes were reddened.
Gu Chaoyan frowned.
The Golden Rolls… she was not going to give it to them, because…
