Suddenly someone said, "It's truly strange that the He Family's daughter, a lady favored by the heavens, actually married off to the borderlands to endure such hardship, whereas the position of the Princess which Marquis Chen's daughter had been waiting for nineteen years was taken by a country girl. Indeed, one must rely on fate."
"Right," another woman said excitedly. "Speaking of which, perhaps my own daughter could someday soar to the skies and become a phoenix too!"
However, she was met with disdain from others, "Your girl? Better forget about it, not everyone is so fortunate. Besides, even if she has the destiny, you need the means too! You haven't seen that Princess; not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she hasn't got a hint of country air about her; she looks like a celestial being."
People chattered back and forth, but inside the palanquin, the listener heard everything loud and clear.
