The nanny swiftly grasped the situation. Setting aside the sandalwood comb she held, she addressed the Third Prince impassively, “Your Highness, Lady is currently at rest.”
Instinctively, the Third Prince attempted to peer inside. He harbored some hesitation about departing. But when he realized that the nanny firmly barred his entry, he acquiesced and retreated.
“He truly lacks discernment,” the nanny muttered, shaking her head. She closed the door and let out a sigh.
If only the Third Prince understood his limitations; it would certainly work in his favor. Unfortunately, he remained oblivious to the fact that certain opportunities had an expiration date.
Gu Chaoyan maintained her silence, making it evident that she had no inclination to invest more time in the Third Prince.
“The King of Baizhou Land has arranged for emissaries to visit Jinwei Land. I believe they seek to ascertain the current situation in Jinwei Land. It appears that the situation in Baizhou Land will soon align with Lady’s expectations. Despite Baizhou Land’s limited resources, it can coexist peacefully with Jinwei Land. The prince, the king, and the King of Baizhou Land must possess a great deal of astuteness,” the nanny commented with a smile.
“Very well,” Gu Chaoyan responded, signifying that her mission had been largely accomplished. Once she returned to Jinwei Land, she could set out to the chaotic spacetime to train and attain the status of a Paragon Martial God.
Despite her seemingly calm demeanor, Gu Chaoyan knew that she was brimming with excitement inside.
She inched closer to her long-awaited vengeance.
“Is there something bothering you, Lady?” The nanny regarded her with concern, noticing that her grip was growing increasingly tense.
“I am fine,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a faint smile, reassuring her that she truly was fine.
The nanny breathed a sigh of relief, her worries assuaged.
And so, the night passed.
The following day…
A grand palace banquet was on the agenda.
Gu Chaoyan rose early, and the nanny assisted her with her makeup.
Considerable time passed before she completed her makeup. Upon exiting her quarters, she encountered the Third Prince and the envoy waiting outside. The Third Prince bore a contented expression, as if he deserved the accolades, while the envoy’s countenance appeared rather grim. He had never harbored any fondness for Xu Xunnan to begin with, and now, he found himself led astray by her. This turn of events left him feeling displeased. However, there was little he could do about his unhappiness.
The people of Baizhou Land paid no heed to his presence and instead showed deference to Xu Xunnan.
For him to break ranks would tarnish his reputation, a prospect he wished to avoid.
Upon Gu Chaoyan’s emergence, the Third Prince greeted her with a smile. She promptly continued her walk, with the nanny physically restraining the Third Prince.
His initial intentions had come to naught, leading to an awkward smile. Nevertheless, he persisted in his efforts to ingratiate himself, remarking, “Lady Xu, you look especially radiant today. You will surely surpass the princesses of Baizhou Land.”
“Third Prince, I serve as an envoy here, representing the women of Jinwei Land. Beauty is but skin deep,” Gu Chaoyan responded candidly.
The envoy experienced a slight uplift in his spirits. He believed that the Third Prince was living a modest existence and was no more distinguished than himself.
Subsequently, Gu Chaoyan refrained from further conversation.
The Third Prince, however, remained undeterred in his elation, while the nanny observed him and discerned a rare foolishness within his demeanor.
As Jinwei Land’s envoys, they generally arrived at the banquet somewhat later.
And thus…
Upon their arrival.
The palace banquet was almost full. At this moment, it was also extremely lively.
It had been a long time since he had felt such a lively atmosphere.
Gu Chaoyan was in a good mood too.
At this moment…
