Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

"Why do you think I brought this up so much?" Lady Tini glanced at the Emperor, then looked at Jiang Yu: "Commander Kong even sent someone to me, he's been asking about Lord Jiang Yu's movements. If you don't attend this year's mate selection event, he'll be heartbroken."

Ah... Jiang Yu was speechless. What was wrong with Kong Yiche? Why was he staring at her? Couldn't he find a better woman?

"They found you through someone?" The emperor was also somewhat incredulous. "Although you also come from the Forest Empire, what can you do?"

"Your Majesty..." Even the usually well-mannered Lady Tini was speechless. Jiang Yu secretly chuckled to herself, thinking how incredibly straightforward the Emperor was.

Lady Tini thought for a moment, clearly not wanting to talk to her husband anymore, and turned to look at Jiang Yu: "This young commander of the Kong family has some obsession with you. Last year you didn't choose him, and he thought it was because he wasn't good enough, so this year he became the commander, the youngest commander in the history of the Forest Empire."

"This person is considered one of the best among the young people of his generation in the three great empires. Does Lord Jiang Yu really have no interest in such a person?"

So that's where they were waiting. Jiang Yu suddenly felt more at ease. If this was a test, she thought she knew how to answer.

“The Jiang family is quite well-known among the military families of the Ocean Empire, but the Kong family is one of the most prestigious and powerful families in the Forest Empire. In terms of status, we are not a good match. In addition, with an outstanding talent like Commander Kong Yiche, he should have had a more suitable match. That’s why I didn’t choose him. Besides, he’s not my type.” Jiang Yu explained clearly, especially the reasons for her rejection.

"There's no need to be so self-deprecating." The emperor waved his hand. "If you like him, he's a good choice. If you don't like him, no one can force you to go. If you don't want to participate, then you don't have to. Anyway, you're still young. There are men of marriageable age in our royal family. If you prefer someone younger, there are quite outstanding men who are almost adults."

"..." Your Majesty, do you really know what you're saying?

"..." Your Majesty, that's enough, stop talking.

Jiang Yu and Mrs. Tini were both dumbfounded and speechless.

Lady Tini cleared her throat and quickly changed the subject: "Does Lord Jiang Yu know Lord Ren Kecheng of the Left Prime Minister's family?"

“I met him briefly at Orber Castle a couple of days ago.” Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips. Just as she suspected, her guess had been absolutely right.

“That child is pitiful. Isn’t it a coincidence that she is the complete opposite of Lord Jiang Yu? She is deeply in love with Commander Kong Yiche. She also asked someone to come to me for help. How can I agree rashly? I can only wait and see what Lord Jiang Yu thinks first.”

Jiang Yu initially felt disgusted. These people had gone to such lengths to get her attention over this trivial matter. But then she thought that this might not be such a bad thing. With the involvement of higher-level forces like Madam Tini, she could take advantage of the situation to finally put an end to this matter.

So she looked at Lady Tini with eyes full of admiration and trust: "Lord Ren Kecheng of the Left Prime Minister's family is truly a celestial being, and he and Commander Kong are from equally matched families. I not only have no objections, but I also do not want to affect their blessed marriage because of me."

They should hurry up and tie them together. Not to mention that she had no feelings for Kong Yiche before, after this incident, it's even less likely that she would have any interest or possibility with him.

"I'm relieved to hear Lord Jiang Yu's words. I'll do my best to be a matchmaker and try to find a way to bring the two children together." Lady Tini's smile revealed her sincerity.

Jiang Yu had come to understand that this lady was not just an ordinary acquaintance with Ren Kecheng. Whether it was the closeness of an elder to a younger generation or the fact that they were on the same side in a power struggle, she had to be appropriately wary.

I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor cares about the marital status of every lord's report, but it seems that His Majesty the Emperor can't avoid it when it comes to her.

"The Fan family of the Aurora Empire is not to be trifled with. The entire family produces many aloof clergy members. Half of the bishops in the Aurora Empire are from their family, and they have also produced several popes. I have heard of Fan Qingyin's name; she seems to be a rather talented divine messenger as well."

"Qingyin is indeed a very competent divine messenger. Since arriving in Hollande County, he has diligently handled the parish work every day and frequently held blessing ceremonies. He also handles most of the affairs of the territory." She had to praise her own husband, especially on occasions like this; she had to champion Qingyin.

"He sounds like an exceptionally talented person," the emperor remarked thoughtfully.

Another minister, who had not spoken until now, also spoke up: "Judging from the data, the divine glory bestowed by the divine envoy Fan Qingyin is far ahead in the entire empire. The current Holy Maiden of the Aurora Empire is his sister, Fan Qingyu."

The Emperor and Lady Tini exchanged a glance and sighed, saying, "Lord Jiang Yu has excellent taste."

"Of course!" Jiang Yu thought smugly to himself.

"Yes, Qingyin and Lin Yi may not be the best compared to others, but to me, they are the best."

After chatting idly, the ministers had completed most of the necessary procedures. After filing a series of forms, ledgers, and documents, they inquired about her next plans and arrangements.

Fan Qingyin had already helped her through this many times before, so Jiang Yu answered fluently, which made the ministers and the emperor look satisfied.

In addition, she had already presented a large number of high-quality pearls and rare transparent corals to the national treasury, so Jiang Yu's performance review was a great success.

When Jiang Yu returned to the lounge feeling relaxed, Fan Qingyin was still waiting for her with a smile in her eyes.

"His Majesty the Emperor sent many gifts, it seems Xiao Yu's trip was a great success~" Fan Qingyin affectionately pinched Jiang Yu's upturned little nose: "I knew Xiao Yu could do it."

“Of course, don’t you know who I am?” Jiang Yu said smugly, then added, “His Majesty the Emperor even recommended male members of the royal family to me, and even told me to wait for my younger brothers who are not yet adults.”

Seeing Fan Qingyin freeze for a moment, Jiang Yu burst into laughter: "Qingyin, you're so cute. I wasn't serious, and I don't like younger brothers either."

"How could Your Majesty do this? How could you be so disregard for your status? This is utterly reckless."
