Chapter 616: comparison!

“Princess Daisy is coming to visit our country A?”
When Jing Zhen received this news on the second day, Karl laughed because he heard a hint of surprise. “Yes, Princess Daisy of our country has always been fond of country A’s culture. She is already on her way and should arrive tonight.”
Jing Zhen frowned, feeling a bit speechless.
Country Y didn ‘t respect them at all. Even if it was just a visit, they should have coordinated this a few days in advance. Why was it mentioned only when things were imminent?
He frowned and heard Karl laugh. “Your Majesty, our Princess has always been such a free-spirited character, often leaving and coming casually anytime she wants to. There is no way to constrain her. She is an outstanding Princess, so everyone dotes on her. I assume you won’t mind, right?’
What a casual explanation! It was just an excuse for Karl to bring up Princess Daisy’s sudden arrival.
Jing Zhen had quite an impression of Princess Daisy. Her mother was the Queen, but unfortunately, she led a chaotic private life, and it was rumored that the Queen had several male favorites. Her sister, who was appointed as the next heir, followed suit, causing public grievances in the country, almost abolishing the royal family. Fortunately, Princess Daisy’s emergence saved the royal family’s reputation.
Princess Daisy was proficient in various arts, especially in the culture of China. Although country A was not China, the race living in country A and China was the same, both being of the yellow race.
Moreover, their ancestors had frequent exchanges with China, and they were considered a vassal state of China, so the customs and habits of the people of country A were quite similar to those of the Chinese people.
Jing Zhen wanted to refuse to entertain Princess Daisy, but he felt it would be graceless. His large peach blossom eyes suddenly flickered and he laughed. “l naturally won’t mind. We have all heard of Princess Daisy’s grace. We will definitely hold a banquet tonight to entertain her properly.”
Jing Zhen roughly understood Karl’s intentions.
He just wanted to make Jingjing look weak in front of such a perfect princess like Daisy. He wanted to make the people of country A lose hope in the royal family, so they would no longer support the royal family.
But Jing Zhen was confident that he could use Princess Daisy to pave the way for Shen Ruojing to impress everyone. He would let those families in country A who did not support her see that his daughter was worth it!
Not to mention the title of Crown Princess, she deserved the title of the future Queen!
Jingjing was the best woman in the world!
Karl never thought that Jing Zhen would disagree.
Country Y had never taken a small country such as Country A seriously. The only reason Country A had any presence in their eyes was because of the existence of the royal economic empire.
But it was too small, with a population of only a few million…
Karl got Jing Zhen’s response and left with a smile.
As soon as he left, Jing Zhen immediately convened a meeting with the heads of the major families of country A to inform them of the banquet.
Although the status of women in country A was currently low and women rarely attended banquets, Jing Zhen specifically asked the young ladies from each family to attend the banquet tonight since the guest was Princess Daisy.
The daughters of the major families were overjoyed, as they never had such statuses at a public state banquet before.
And after hearing that it was due to Princess Daisy’s visit that they had such treatment…
Anyone with a bit of sense would understand that Daisy was coming to be compared with Shen Ruojing. Hence, the women of various households understood that they were able to go out and move around thanks to Princess Daisy’s arrival.
For a moment, regardless of the opinions of the various nobles, these women actually recognized Princess Daisy first! In this rapidly developing era, there were various videos on gender equality everywhere, and they had long since been dissatisfied with the low status of women in Country A.
If Princess Daisy could become the Queen, wouldn’t women be able to hold official positions in the future?
So, with the anticipation of the noble ladies, the evening banquet finally arrived. Although there was only a day of preparation, the entire country had helped to prepare for this state banquet. Everyone in the palace was busy ensuring that the banquet would be held in a colorful manner.
Princess Daisy’s visit did not warrant a personal welcome from the king, as she was considered a junior. So the task of entertaining Princess Daisy fell on
Princess Shen Ruojing. With no other choice, Shen Ruojing had to show up.
This was Shen Ruojing’s first time attending a large event as a princess. A golden evening gown, which would appear extravagant on others, seemed to give her an air of nobility and dignity. It was as if a heavenly goddess had descended from above.
Shen Ruojing’s jet-black, smooth hair was also tied up today, and she didn’t wear any extra jewelry. After all, this gold-threaded gown was eye-catching enough, and wearing anything else would be superfluous.
Shen Ruojing stayed in the palace’s resting room, only leaving when someone reported that Princess Daisy had arrived. She then went to the entrance to greet her.
Ji Wuyou, accompanied by a group of guards, followed closely behind Shen Ruojing. They all came to the palace gate grandly.
The daughters of the various families had arrived at the entrance, watching as Princess Daisy stepped out of a Rolls-Royce.
Princess Daisy was beautiful, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She looked like an exquisite doll, especially her delicate smile, which made people feel delighted at first sight.
The noble ladies below immediately began to talk to each other.
“Princess Daisy is so beautiful!’
“And her manners are so elegant!’
“My God, this is the real demeanor a princess should have. I heard that Country Y is now considering abolishing her sister and making her the next queen…”
“Finished, Princess Daisy is so noble, and our Princess Shen Ruojing is usually too approachable. Will she seem too unsophisticated in front of her? It’s such a loss of face!’
Karl listened to these discussions and laughed. This was the effect he wanted!
With these thoughts, Shen Ruojing finally arrived fashionably late at the palace gate of Country A!
