"But Princess, what does this have to do with you not going to Liu Xiang's tonight? Isn't this a good opportunity to win people's hearts?"

"Do you think Liu Xiang is like you, that upon hearing that I want to be emperor, he would immediately take up a knife and kill someone for me without saying a word?

"Not even my grandfather could do that."

I explained.

Although Liu Xiang appreciates me now, it is only limited to his appreciation for a princess.

He may support my entry into the court.

But he never thought of me replacing Xiao Jingxuan.

The principles learned in the civil service are absolutely against supporting a woman to become emperor.

Although the emperor only had one legitimate prince, Xiao Jingxuan, who was intact in all aspects.

But if they really want to depose the emperor, it wouldn't be difficult to find an excellent offspring from the side branches of the royal family.

Even my grandfather probably thinks the same way.

That's why today, although I recognized my grandfather, I didn't reveal my true intentions.

Firstly, as a high-ranking official of a country, even if he learned the truth from Xiao Jingqing today, he would definitely verify it out of caution.

Secondly, if I had stated my true purpose early today, he would probably understand that this whole matter was a set-up, and interpret this recognition as a manipulation.

I don't think a high-ranking official of a country would risk taking the path to usurp power for a newly recognized granddaughter.

"Then, Princess, what should we do next?"

"Litchi, how many days until the reunion feast?"

"Princess, there are only three days left."

No rush.

The reunion feast will be the endgame.
