The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Chen Shuting was amused by Shi Lidie's words, and she quickly denied it:

"Why would I be unhappy?"

"Xiao Die, you don't know how much I admire you. You are the guide of my life. You are so amazing and outstanding. My brother is not worthy of you!"

"I originally thought that if you were interested in him, he would be able to do it, but since you are not interested in him, he is just being sentimental!"

"He's not good enough and can't win your favor. What does that have to do with me? I won't let this affect the relationship between you and me. We want to be good sisters for life."

After hearing this, Shi Lidie smiled, and then she spoke seriously:

"Since your brother sent you to be the middleman to find out what I mean, then I will also send you to be the middleman to convey my thoughts to your brother."

"Okay, you go ahead." Chen Shuting nodded.

Shi Lidie took a deep breath, and then carefully analyzed the relationship between herself and Chen Zhao:

"The reason why your brother is interested in me is probably because I am a special person he has ever met in his life. I am different from the ladies who grew up in the capital, so he finds me fresh and curious."

"But I think he may not really like or admire me, but he thinks I happen to be suitable and worthy of my status, and he doesn't dislike me, so he wants to spend the rest of his life with me."

"Of course, it's not that this is bad. The main reason is that here, marriages are all arranged by parents and matchmakers. Marriages are often based on interests, and rarely happen out of love."

"But in my heart, the person I want to marry must be someone I truly love, not only someone who shares my values ​​and ideals, but also someone who can arouse my little girlish feelings, make me shy, sweet, and happy."

"But to be honest, your brother and I don't have much interaction except for giving him tasks every time, and I don't feel the admiration I have for a man from him. Because I only admire him, and this admiration is the same as my admiration for you, Mingyue, Mengyao, and Qinglan."

"In this way, do you understand?"

Chen Shuting was somewhat shocked after hearing what Shi Lidie said. She said:

"Your reasoning is shocking. You marry someone because you love him or her. However, children in our capital are restricted by the strict rules for men and women, so we rarely have the opportunity to be alone or spend a long time together."

"If you want to develop feelings, you can only do so after marriage. As for marriage, most of the time, parents consider the other party's family background, character, appearance, and talent. They find out everything before letting us marry. But among these factors, the only thing that is not included is love."

Shi Lidie knows the difference.

Because she was born in an era where people could fall in love freely, she could not accept the blind marriages of this era.

She said that she got married because of love. It's not that she was love-brained, but based on the reality, she now has enough status and wealth and does not need to use marriage to bind interests, so she got married only because of love.

But she would not tell Chen Shuting anything more outrageous, but nodded and said:

"Yes, my ideas are different from yours, so I am destined to have no results with your brother."

"Also, even if your brother and I really like each other, I can't marry him."

"Why?" Chen Shuting asked subconsciously. She was confused at first, but soon figured it out. "You said you can't, not you don't want to. I understand. If you like each other, His Majesty will not let you marry my brother."

This is a very simple truth.

The abilities that Shi Lidie demonstrated reflected her great value, and all the new things she brought out showed that she was a very capable person who could drive the development of a country.

People like her are actually a threat to the country.

When she is loyal to the emperor, she can naturally bow her head in everything, but if one day she is no longer willing to be loyal to the royal family, she will become a great threat to the royal family.

Therefore, there are only three possibilities for her marriage:

First, she could either marry the emperor and become a concubine in the palace, and then everything she had would naturally belong to the emperor.

Second, she can either marry the crown prince and become a crown princess, then everything she has will belong to the next emperor and she will still be within the royal family.

Third, she should either marry someone the emperor trusts to eliminate any possibility that she would join forces with others to rebel.

The first two situations were impossible. She was the adopted daughter of the empress, and the emperor had always treated her as his daughter. The crown prince, Gu Xiuqi, was only seven years old. No one was suitable to marry her.

As for the person who can make the emperor feel at ease...

From the current perspective, the Chen family does make the emperor feel at ease, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

People's hearts will change. Just because ambition did not exist in the past does not mean it will not exist in the future. The Chen family is a prominent family with hundreds of years of history. They have many students and old friends, complicated in-law relationships, and strong financial resources.

Once such a family develops ambitions, it will become a major concern for the royal family even without the help of Shi Lidie.

Therefore, the emperor would not let Shi Lidie marry into the Chen family.

The emperor was unwilling to see such a powerful alliance, and it was also a threat to the royal family.

Therefore, the person who can truly reassure the emperor has not appeared yet.

After Shi Lidie explained the practical reasons to Chen Shuting, she continued:

"Your brother is the heir carefully cultivated by the Chen family. The head of the Chen family is now your father, but your father has no son. Chen Zhao is the next head of the Chen family."

"What he needs is a mistress who can help him manage the inner house, guard his rear, take care of his parents, educate his children, manage officialdom, and conduct diplomacy for him. I can't do any of these."

"I was not raised in your capital, so I haven't learned many things. Moreover, I have my own career outside. I can't spend my energy in the inner house, so I am destined not to marry a son of an aristocratic family like your brother."

Shi Lidie's current identity is a princess, and she has her own fiefdom. She can't just marry a playboy. If she marries someone lower than her, she won't be happy, and if she marries someone higher than her, the emperor will be worried.

Chen Shuting listened to Shi Lidie's explanation and nodded with a smile:

"I will tell my brother what you said."

"From a moral and logical point of view, you and my brother are not destined to be together. In my opinion, I should write a letter to my aunt and ask her to find a suitable girl in Beijing to propose marriage to my brother."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'm looking forward to attending your brother's wedding." Shi Lidie said with a smile.

After the two sisters had a heart-to-heart talk, they put Chen Zhao out of their minds and did not let the man affect their mood for fun.

However, this good mood only lasted for a while. Just when they were about to move forward, they were blocked by a group of people in front.

I heard a voice coming from the crowd, which seemed to be from the women's patrol. The little girl said:

"This is really strange. There have been no beggars in the princess's fiefdom for a long time. How come a beggar suddenly appeared here? How did he get into the city?"
