Li Dai was naturally a meticulous person. Noticing the strange expressions on everyone's faces along the way, she could not help asking about it.
Jiang Yu let out a soft chuckle, his tone quite casual. "You still don't know? Our King Jin has no fondness whatsoever for Princess Xuanye. You can tell just by the fact that she recruited him three times and was rejected every time." As he spoke, he gently stroked the dark hair resting against his chest and continued, "All the young lords and gifted scholars of our Jin Kingdom know this. Since King Jin himself has no regard for Princess Xuanye, naturally he doesn't want his subjects entangled with her. Didn't you notice the complex and guilty expressions on everyone's faces? They probably all know that this trip to the King's Palace is no picnic."
Li Dai raised an eyebrow, growing rather curious about the person who could reject Princess Xuanye. They always said heroes had a hard time passing the trial of a beauty, and Princess Xuanye was a famously great beauty at that. For King Jin to reject her so directly and give her no face—could he have seen through something? Otherwise, she could think of no other reason.
