Princess Lekang wandered aimlessly in the palace corridors, thinking about the conversation she'd just eavesdropped on outside the Council Hall, and a sardonic smile slowly crept across her lips.
Considering the matter of her marriage alliance with Xiliao, her maternal grandfather's family—which held considerable power in court—hadn't voiced any opposition. Instead, it was Xiao Yeyang, her distant cousin, who stood up and spoke on her behalf.
No wonder the Empress always avoided the Jiang Family over the years. No wonder she often cautioned her not to get too close to the members of the Jiang Family. It was only today that she discovered just how cold-blooded the Jiang Family truly was.
Father…
Would Father agree to the Crown Prince of Xiliao's marriage proposal?
"Princess, it's getting late. Shall we go back?" The palace maid noticed that it had gotten very dark and couldn't help but remind her.
Princess Lekang responded with a faint "Mhm" and continued to stroll leisurely.
