Song Tingwan was very surprised.

In history, after Xiao Yunze led his troops to war and was captured, Daqing was destroyed. There is no mention of envoys paying homage or the princess's marriage.

Did this...really change history?

Song Tingwan put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and gradually came back to his senses.

"Did the emperor say which princess he would send as a marriage partner?"

Zhuque walked under the eaves, hesitant to speak, "The only princesses in the palace who are of the right age and have not yet married are the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess."

"Originally, the third princess had not yet reached the age of marriage, so she was not among those eligible for marriage. But..."

"The days when the Wei Kingdom envoys arrived in the capital coincided with the Third Princess's coming-of-age ceremony."

Song Tingwan frowned.

Because of Wu Zhe, she didn't have a very good impression of Wei State.

If Miaoyi really marries into a nation that likes to provoke wars, will she live a happy life?

Song Tingwan put down the heater in her hand and asked, "What does the Third Princess think about the marriage?"

Zhuque sighed, "The Emperor has issued an order forbidding the princess from leaving the palace until the envoy arrives. I only received the message from the Third Princess today."

"The master has always favored the third princess and would definitely not allow her to marry out. However, the army marches slowly, so the master may not enter the capital before the Wei Kingdom envoy!"

"I heard that the emperor wanted the envoy to choose a princess."

Song Tingwan: "Do you know why the Wei Kingdom suddenly sent an envoy to visit?"

Zhuque thought for a moment, "The ruler of Wei State is a great believer in the gods. This time, he must have heard that Daqing has a goddess and a dragon, and is here to show his goodwill."

"It is said that they also brought many rare treasures from the Wei Kingdom as tribute."

Song Tingwan: “…”

She didn't understand.

It was obvious that the Wei State was intimidated by Daqing and came to pay tribute and seek peace.

Why does this damn emperor still want to marry his daughter to him?

No matter what, as a defeated country, the monarch of Wei should send his son as a hostage, right?

Can't figure it out.

Are you getting senile?

Or does he just want to marry his daughter off far away?

Song Tingwan frowned, "Hasn't the Emperor always loved the Third Princess the most? Is he really willing to let her go to marry?"

Suzaku: "I dare not make any rash comments."

Song Tingwan sneered.

As expected, there is no such thing as family affection in the imperial family.

"When will the Wei Kingdom envoy arrive in the capital?"

Suzaku: "About ten days from now."

Song Tingwan nodded to indicate that she understood.

I didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

I still remember that on the day I first arrived, Xiao Yunze mentioned that Miaoyi's coming-of-age ceremony would be in two months.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, there were only ten days left before Miaoyi's coming-of-age ceremony.

It's been almost two months.

I wonder if Ye Ranran misses her.

I don’t know how Sun Xinyuan’s case is going with her lawyer.

Logically speaking, the results should be out by now.

Song Tingwan thought evilly: It would be best to let her stay in jail for the rest of her life to forgive her for the evil things she had done in the past.

Seeing that she seemed to be lost in thought again, Zhuque couldn't help but ask, "Goddess, what should we do?"

Song Tingwan knew that what he meant was whether there was a way to prevent Miaoyi from going to the marriage.

"What is the identity of the people from Wei Country?"

Suzaku: "He is the second son of the monarch of Wei."

Song Tingwan nodded, "I understand. Let's just wait and see what happens."

After Zhuque left, Song Tingwan returned to the house.

The snow outside was falling even harder, and the heater didn't seem to be working.

Song Tingwan was lying on the bed, wrapped in the quilt.

Hongdou stood by the bed and asked caringly, "Miss, do you need an extra quilt?"

Song Tingwan shook his head lightly, "No, this quilt is quite thick."

Song Tingwan looked at the ceiling, his eyes expressionless.

She finally understood why Miaoyi, who had said she would come for the clinic's opening, had disappeared for so many days.

I don't know how a lively and lovely girl like her would react when she found out about this.

Will there be a commotion?

As far as I can remember, princesses who were married off to foreign countries in history all had bad endings.

In this era, women had little say, not to mention that the princess's father was the emperor.

The heavy burden of maintaining diplomatic relations between the two countries through marriage fell on their shoulders, making it even more difficult for them to resist.

They can only helplessly and be forced to accept their arranged marriage.

Song Tingwan couldn't help but think of herself.

She was still in college at that time.

The Song Group had a funding problem due to a major project, and in order to attract investment from the Gu family, they arranged her marriage to Gu Sinian.

At that time, she didn't have anyone she liked, Gu Sinian was good-looking, and the Song family was usually very nice to her, so she agreed to the marriage.

Now think about it, if she had refused at that time, with Song's father's temper, he would have tied her up and taken her to the wedding.

Just because she was the daughter of the Song family at that time.

In modern times, arranged marriages are common, let alone in ancient times.

Song Tingwan suddenly had an idea.

She didn't want any of the princesses to become unnecessary victims.

If they don't want to.

Song Tingwan lifted the quilt and sat up, "Hongdou, help me comb my hair."

"yes."

Song Tingwan met her own determined eyes in the mirror, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

She wants to enter the palace.

-

Shanghua Palace.

Miaoyi was sitting by the door kicking her legs out of boredom.

There was snow all over the ground outside.

The same goes for the eaves.

It's all white.

Miaoyi supported her chin, stared at the snow on the ground boredly, and sighed from time to time.

"Princess, please use the heater. It's too cold outside." The palace maid Yueyue put a snow-white cloak on her shoulders.

Miao Yi said listlessly, "No."

"Today is the first snow, and this princess wants to think about the important things in life in the snow."

Yueyue was stunned and asked cautiously, "Princess, are you worried about the marriage?"

Miaoyi's eyelids twitched. "Not really. I was wondering, is the Second Prince of Wei Kingdom handsome?"

"Will he be more handsome than Pei Er?"

Yueyue is about the same age as Miaoyi, or even younger than her. After hearing this, she started to think seriously about it.

"Princess, I don't think he can be more handsome than Prince Pei, right?"

Miaoyi turned around and looked at her, blinking her big eyes, "Why do you say that?"

Yueyue: "Princess, in your eyes, isn't Prince Pei the most elegant man in the entire capital?"

Miaoyi blinked innocently, "Did the princess ever say that?"

Yueyue's eyes were filled with confusion, "Princess, don't you remember?"

The image of Pei Er appeared in Miaoyi's mind, and her face flushed slightly. She said coquettishly: "Oh, this princess doesn't want to mention Pei Er now."

"I haven't seen you for so many days, and you didn't even send a letter to this princess."

Yueyue was puzzled: "Princess, the envoy is coming soon. The palace is under martial law recently. I am afraid that even if Prince Pei wants to send a letter, he won't be able to get in."

Miaoyi grabbed the delicate hem of the fabric and pouted, "You are not allowed to make excuses for him."
