"Is it because they can't bear to part with you?"
Princess Anning let out a bitter laugh.
Even until now, this silly girl was still so naive.
"It's not about reluctance to part; it's about holding out for a better offer! Father intended to use me as a bargaining chip, to find someone most suitable who could bring him the greatest benefit. Sadly, before he found that person, he met with a mishap!"
"Prince Qing was one of the candidates!" A blend of irony and chill flitted through Princess Anning's eyes, "But unfortunately, he was too timid himself, and Princess Fu along with the Cui Family were not as appealing in the eyes of my father!"
Besides, Wei Jiuzhong was also aware of Hong Ling's feelings for Cui Qing; not wanting to create unpleasantness with the household of King of Beijing, he decisively removed that candidate from the list without hesitation.
