"You've already persuaded them?"
"Yes, my father said I'm still young and don't understand things, and that listening to him is the right thing to do. He doesn't listen to my ideas at all."
In fact, this is already considered very doting on daughters in this era.
If a daughter from an official family were to actively prevent her father from getting engaged, she would probably have to kneel in the ancestral hall and be beaten!
"Then why not just accept your fate?"
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Zhao Jian's eyes widened.
"Princess, are you on my side or not?"
"There is another way. Since your father's approach won't work and Wang Kuan couldn't persuade his father either, let's start with Wang Kuan's father and get him to refuse the engagement. What else can your father do then?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian instantly became excited.
“Princess, you are right.”
But after saying this, Zhao Jian became worried again.
"But the key point is, Wang Kuan's father might not even see me, and I can't very well do something shameful, can I?"
Zhao Jian looked at his short legs and felt quite worried.
"You really don't want to get engaged?"
Tang Yu found Zhao Jian's appearance adorable and really wanted to give her a little rub.
"The princess probably wouldn't understand my troubles, and even my father thinks I'm making trouble out of nothing."
"That's not true. Actually, I can help. Sometimes, the simplest way to solve this kind of problem is with power."
Zhao Jian looked puzzled, while Tang Yu gave a mysterious smile.
On this day, Tang Yu found an opportunity to wait in the outer corridor of the Chuigong Hall.
When Wang Kuan's father, Wang Bo, walked over, Tang Yu took the initiative to walk forward with a smile.
"Lord Wang."
Wang Bo was taken aback at first, then quickly bowed.
"Your humble servant pays respects to the princess."
"Lord Wang, there's no need for such formalities. Actually, I have a small matter I'd like to ask for your help with."
Wang Bo felt that the little princess looked extremely imposing, but he couldn't just agree to something like that.
"What do you want, Princess?"
“I know that my father is a benevolent ruler, so there are some things I hope to ask for your opinion before I go to my father to make a request.”
I liked the young master of the Wang family the moment I saw him. Please don't mind me being too direct, Lord Wang.
"Sir, could you please ask young Master Wang to postpone his engagement for now? Perhaps he could look at other potential suitors."
Upon hearing this, Wang Bo was somewhat surprised, but then smiled and nodded.
"Princess, rest assured, my son is still young, there is no need to rush the engagement."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
Later, when Zhao Jian asked if Tang Yu wasn't worried about his lies being exposed, Tang Yu answered confidently.
"Would Lord Wang go to my father, the Emperor, and ask, 'Has your daughter said she likes my son? When will you grant them marriage?'"
Did he dare say it? He could only tacitly accept that his father intended to keep his daughter for a long time, so naturally there would be no arranged marriage!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian gave a thumbs up.
"High, it is high!"
This matter did not backfire with the Emperor, nor with Lord Wang, but it did backfire with Wang Kuan.
On this day, Wang Kuan found an opportunity to come to Tang Yu's side.
"A gentleman should be upright in character, consistent in word and deed, and take integrity as his foundation. Sincerity is the way of Heaven; to strive for sincerity is the way of man."
Princess, you have done wrong in this matter.
Each world will have twenty or thirty chapters, and I will write about many worlds. I'll take my time.
But I've already decided on some worlds to write about, and I'll write about the ones everyone recommends after I finish those.
Chapter 3 Do You Know? + The Young Swordsman of the Song Dynasty 3
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu guessed that Wang Kuan knew what she had done, and probably that Lord Wang had hinted at something to his son.
However, Tang Yu did not panic at all, and even spoke up in a generous manner.
"Young Master Wang, are you and Zhao Jian engaged?"
Wang Kuan didn't understand the princess's intentions for a moment, and he subconsciously shook his head.
"Of course not. The princess and I are not destined to be together. Please do not mention this matter again."
Please, Princess, do not reveal this matter to others in the future, so as not to damage your reputation.
"very good."
Tang Yu smiled and clapped, it seemed that Wang Kuan's dislike for Zhao Jian was not directed at him.
Although Zhao Jian wasn't being disdainful, a petty man would always care.
"So Young Master Wang is not engaged. I only told Lord Wang that I think Young Master Wang is very outstanding, so outstanding that he makes people forget the mundane and feel happy. Was this offensive?"
Wang Kuan was stumped by the question.
When someone praises you, why would you turn around and blame the person who praised you? But wasn't that a bit too enthusiastic and direct?
Wang Kuan, who is well-versed in the art of tactful language, has not yet learned how to deal with such straightforward enthusiasm.
The princess speaks so directly, it's really hard to handle.
Wang Kuan stepped back, bowed, and then spoke apologetically.
"Wang was confused for a moment and mistakenly thought that the princess was deliberately making up lies in front of my father, which caused my father to give up the idea of engagement."
Kuan is arrogant and self-confident, yet he acts impulsively and willfully. We beg the princess to punish him.
Tang Yu was amused by the old-fashioned look of the person in front of her.
She took a step forward, then pressed closer.
"So, is it true that Young Master Wang now believes that I think you are very outstanding, and that you are handsome and pleasing to the eye?"
Although Wang Kuan was somewhat embarrassed, his fair cheeks flushed pink, he still answered the question respectfully.
"The princess doesn't seem to be lying, so I have no choice but to believe her."
"Hahaha……"
Tang Yu laughed so hard he bent over. He looked so stern, but he turned out to be a cunning schemer.
Wouldn't that be interesting?
"Then Young Master Wang, you must remember what I said to your father."
Your father's son is a delight to behold, so please don't arrange a marriage too early, Young Master Wang. Do you think this suggestion is good?
Wang Kuan's palms, which were behind his back, gradually became sweaty.
"Everyone has a love of beauty, and I am honored that the princess truly appreciates me."
Regarding the engagement, I agree with the princess's view that it should not be done too early.
"Hahaha……"
Tang Yu was amused again.
"Young Master Wang also thinks he's good-looking? Young Master Wang doesn't seem very modest."
"A gentleman neither belittles himself nor is arrogant. Appearance is a gift from one's parents, and I, Wang, treat it with equanimity. I neither tire of my own appearance nor feel that looking at it would be repulsive to others."
If something can bring joy to those around us and bring them pleasure, wouldn't that be a good thing?
Given her personality, Tang Yu felt too embarrassed to tease her any further.
Although the other person didn't feel embarrassed at all, they were just made shy by her teasing.
After Wang Kuan left, Zhao Jian and Zhang Guifen slowly walked over.
"Princess, will Wang Kuan leak this information?"
"What secrets are you talking about? My praise was all sincere, and Wang Kuan took it all seriously."
Zhang Guifen, who was standing to the side, spoke up in surprise.
"Does the princess intend to choose a prince as her consort in the future?"
Tang Yu smiled, turned around, and gently rubbed Zhang Guifen's cheek.
"Xiao Fen'er, look how old I am, and look how old Wang Kuan is. My praise for him is sincere."
Wang Kuan doesn't think it has anything to do with romantic love, and neither do I. Don't overthink it!
He's good-looking and talented, so it's perfectly normal for me to praise him, and he accepted it very readily!
Zhao Jian laughed out loud as well.
“Wang Kuan is indeed that kind of person. He said he doesn’t lie, so let’s leave it at that.”
In the following years, they studied and learned to read together in the palace, and the group became increasingly familiar with each other.
Life in the palace can sometimes be quite dull.
It just so happens that Zhao Jian prefers military uniforms to dresses, so Tang Yu often takes Zhao Jian and Zhang Guifen to various places in Bianjing for fun.
The Song Dynasty had a very developed economy, so Bianjing was very lively, with countless places to have fun. So Tang Yu stayed in Bianjing without getting tired of it.
However, time flies, the cherries ripened and the plantains turned green. In the blink of an eye, spring went and autumn came, and the years passed like a shuttle.
When Tang Yu and Zhao Kun were ten years old, her adopted younger brother was finally made crown prince.
