Chapter 327: Wouldn’t the Duke be crushed to death by his hat?
Each one of them has their own thoughts and purposes, but no matter how good their ideas are, they are unwilling to face the direct problem, which is that Gu Jiaran, the most favored princess on the surface of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has long lost her reputation.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone in the capital. It's not clear whether the wall is impenetrable or not, but it is basically transparent. Gu Jiaran relies on the system in her hands to do things unscrupulously. Her sneaky behavior is not much different from others' open and aboveboard behavior.
She didn't even look at those noble ladies, let alone the maids around her. She treated the maids very well, but she didn't know how many of them were loyal to her. However, she treated all the maids as her own and did not know how to be cautious in doing anything.
So from the moment she had people spread the word that she was not good for marriage, everyone was a little confused. They said what was bad, what excuses were made, and that marriage was not good for the country. From then on, even if she wanted to get married, who would dare to marry her? If something went wrong, she would be criticized.
This is like digging a big hole for yourself and then burying yourself tightly. People who first heard the news couldn't believe that this was something a normal person could do.
Some people thought that someone might want to plot against her and acted too cruelly, but after investigating, it turned out that she was the one who did it. Everyone looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone. Some people who didn't get along with her didn't dare to intervene. This was much more cruel than their actions. They just wanted to know what she wanted to do.
After all, she suddenly became favored and acted without any scruples. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she offended many people. Those people originally planned to take advantage of her misfortune or teach her a lesson, but when they saw her acting like this, they didn't dare to intervene. So they thought about what her purpose was.
The result did not disappoint everyone. Not only did she not marry, she even found a man for herself "privately". Everyone who heard the news could not believe it. You don't want to marry just to find a man? Aren't these two points a bit contradictory? After all, she is a princess of noble status. If she wants a man, wouldn't it be better to get married directly?
It is not easy to find as many men as you want after getting married. After all, you are a favored princess. If you really want to find a man, it is not a big deal to find one with no family background or a poor family background and secretly keep a few male favorites.
But it is a bit hard to understand why Gu Jiaran dares to look for a man so blatantly before getting married, and she is not secretive at all. Let’s take a look!
Well, the following really shocked their three views. People don’t get married just to find a man. With that number, they can almost open a brothel. Fortunately, they didn’t get married! Otherwise, wouldn’t the county master be crushed to death by so many hats?
She doesn't even have a single wit. It's not that they look down on her, it's just that she is too disappointing. Look at the whole Kyoto, not to mention the young ladies of aristocratic families, even the daughters of ordinary merchants have maids around them. Which young lady doesn't have a trusted maid? Some things should be kept secret, but this servant was bought off like a sieve, and she is complacent every day, not realizing it at all.
It means he has some special abilities, otherwise with his personality, he is not even worthy of being a stepping stone for others.
That's it, even if he is favored, it doesn't matter. Maybe the emperor is just curious and has never seen such a stupid person, so he keeps him by his side to see what he can do. After thinking about this, they even feel that it is just like this, they are embarrassed to take action, which really lowers their own status.
With this understanding, everyone watched silently and tacitly to see who would become the lover of this person. It was just a way to pass the time. Many people also made bets. Anyway, it was lively and exciting.
But Gu Jiaran was a member of the royal family after all, so everyone just watched the show quietly and no one would publicize it. Those chosen by her were all illegitimate sons in the family, or those who were ambitious but incompetent, or those who wanted to avoid taking a few decades of detours. In any case, none of the serious and capable young men from aristocratic families took the bait.
To these people, Gu Jiaran was a rare beauty, and they were men after all, so they would not suffer any loss. Therefore, after being seduced by Gu Jiaran, they not only did not feel humiliated, but even felt a little complacent. Of course, this was only true for those who took the bait. Those who did not take the bait would have a completely different feeling.
Everything was peaceful at first, but no one expected that Gu Jiaran was so bold and brainless. She dared to target anyone and seduce anyone. No one dared to breathe and watched the show with bated breath.
This time, these guys that Gu Jiaran has set her sights on are the most sought-after bachelors in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty. They have good family backgrounds, abilities, and outstanding looks. They are the white moonlights of all the women in the imperial capital!
And they attacked three of them at once. If ordinary women dared to treat their ideal husbands or male gods like this, they would definitely teach them a lesson and let them know their place. But if it was Princess Gu Jiaran, then they would have to wait and see what happened next.
"Brother Zhou, the princess really likes you. Why don't you make some sacrifices? After all, you have no one here!" A handsome man teased the man in brocade clothes opposite him.
"I'm attracted to you too, so why don't you sacrifice yourself?" Zhou Jihong asked back. He felt a little nauseous when he thought of the way Gu Jiaran looked at him. That look was not so explicit even among the prostitutes in the brothel.
"Hey, you can sacrifice together. The princess won't mind too much." Liu Mingyuan continued. If these two people go, the princess Gu won't miss him anymore, right? That woman is really brave.
"Hehe........, no matter how many, she will never think it's too much. I'll arrange two to go!" Zhou Jihong said directly. If it weren't for that beast-taming ability, he would have dealt with a princess long ago. She was still hanging around in front of him, with that kind of look... He felt like he was naked.
"I'll give two too," the man agreed.
"I'll give out four, so Princess Jiaran won't have to think of us again." Liu Mingyuan said generously. They are just men, there are plenty of them. Just consider it a gift.
"Do you have any idea about that ability to taming beasts? It's really weird. It's such a waste to have this ability on such a person." Liu Mingyuan thought it was a pity that Gu Jiaran had the ability to make wild beasts obey him. He wished he had this ability.
"What's so sad about this? It's still uncertain whether it's a blessing or a curse. Besides, the emperor will take care of this ability. We just need to listen!"
"It's up to the emperor to decide how to use this ability, and we just have to follow his orders." Zhou Jihong said in a deep voice. He did know a little bit that the emperor seemed to want to form a legion of ferocious beasts to conquer the desert.
But in the hands of someone like Princess Jia Ran, it's unclear whether the ability to tam beasts will become a weapon that hurts others or a dagger that hurts oneself. After all, stupid people are sometimes more difficult to control than smart people, or whether there is any way to take away this ability.
But with the emperor around, this kind of thing is not something he can control for the time being. Let's just wait and see what happens.
