Chapter 1150: Chapter 1149: What Does That Look Mean?

"Why?" Chu Qianli asked.

The Princess smiled, "Of course, it’s to create opportunities for the ladies to win the Emperor’s favor with a smile, and you, Miss, might already be one of the candidates the Empress Dowager is considering."

Chu Qianli was startled and completely stunned.

Selecting beauties for the Emperor of Nanming, and she was one of them? What a joke!

"Princess..."

"Miss, don’t be too nervous. Our Empress Dowager means no harm; she is just really anxious, having been anxious for over a decade."

After finishing her laughter, the Princess could not help but sigh lightly.

That sigh was filled with helplessness.

"The Emperor is the Empress Dowager’s own son, naturally, she also fears that the Emperor... might lose his empire."

"Princess!" Chu Qianli furrowed her brow, that statement from the Princess seemed inappropriate.

This did not seem like something the Princess would normally say.

She was always so gentle and cautious in her actions; how could she not know that such words should not be casually spoken?

Especially to an outsider like her.

But at this moment, the Princess seemed to really be speaking without a filter, discussing these matters without any reservations.

She continued, "Although these words shouldn’t be said, they aren’t exactly a secret in the Imperial Family."

"The Emperor doesn’t have a harem, nor does he have any children. If in the future he... Basically, an Emperor without offspring always sits on an unstable throne."

Chu Qianli did not respond, just quietly listening.

Still confused, why would the Princess, who normally understood the big picture, dare to speak so recklessly now?

But the Princess did not give her the chance to ponder, continuing, "The Empress Dowager has been worried for over a decade, and had someone else been in her place, they would definitely push the Emperor to take consorts to continue the royal lineage."

"The Empress Dowager of course has tried everything she could, but our Emperor, impervious to persuasion, insists on not taking any consorts, and this stance has even led the officials to wild speculations."

As for what was being speculated, the Princess did not say, but Chu Qianli understood.

It was nothing but speculations about his capability, performance, or perhaps even his sexual orientation.

Afterward, the Empress Dowager almost fell into despair.

Although still unwilling to give up, each selection of beauties felt more like a routine affair.

She could not be enthusiastic about it, but neither could she completely let go.

So, it has come to this situation, seizing every opportunity to hold a banquet, content if it could convince the Emperor just to take a look.

For some reason, the Princess suddenly looked at Chu Qianli, smiling faintly, "The Empress Dowager is quite fond of Princess Feiyan from the Prince Residence."

Chu Qianli tilted her head, not understanding the intention behind the Princess mentioning this now.

The smile at the corners of the Princess’s lips faded a bit, and she sighed lightly, "It’s also my fault for not teaching Qianqian well; she indeed isn’t as charming as Princess Feiyan."

"Of course, the Empress Dowager only dares to treat the Princess nicely; towards the Crown Princes, she still holds some reservations..."

"Actually, Princess, you don’t need to tell me these things; after all, I am not a person from Nanming Country," Chu Qianli reminded.

The Princess today was quite talkative.

Too much talk leads to errors, and the Princess certainly knows this principle.

The Princess seemed to suddenly remember something, smiling faintly, "Yes, I have spoken too much, spoiling your mood."

But she looked at Chu Qianli again, that look still as complex as ever, leaving Chu Qianli unable to decipher it.

What did that look mean?

From the first time the Princess saw her, Chu Qianli felt that the Princess’s gaze was off, just like now.

Before Chu Qianli could figure out the mystery, two figures hurriedly approached from ahead.
