Seeing that Mo Xi didn't understand, Mo Yan finally spoke up.

"Only countries that lack the ability would hope to change anything through marriage alliances. But you must understand one thing: those wolves and tigers will not give up their desire to take a piece of our flesh just because of marriage alliances."

Even if we form an alliance through marriage, they will continue to scheme against us and want even more.

Arranged marriage represents compromise. If you compromise, it means you feel inferior to them. If you feel inferior to them, then naturally they will bully you.

Therefore, the Yun Kingdom does not need a marriage alliance. Even if they were to form one, they would have to beg us to send their people as hostages.

Mo Xi: "!!!" I've learned something new!

"Sister, I understand now. Marriage is not the solution to the problem; to some extent, it also means our compromise."

That's not how a real marriage proposal works, is it?

Mo Yan nodded. Her younger brother had finally become a little bit smarter, which was truly remarkable.

"Sister, what do you think she's really thinking?"

Mo Xi suddenly didn't understand as she held the note.

“Xi’er, this is not important to me. No matter what she thinks, she is no longer important to me.”

If you want to know, you can figure it out yourself.

Mo Xi: "..."

"Sister, will you be angry? Will you think I'm an ingrate? I know what kind of person she is, but I can't help but pay attention to her."

Actually, Mo Xi was a little scared, scared that his older sister would think he was useless, that he...

"No, Xi'er, any of your thoughts are normal. Just follow your heart. Whether it's good or bad, you can judge for yourself."

Mo Yan wouldn't ask Mo Xi to do anything. Although he's young, he has his own ideas and insights. Asking him to do something would be an order. Mo Xi will have to stand on his own in the future, so he needs to learn how to handle these issues.

"I just can't help being curious, I can't help wanting to know what happened. I will never forgive my sister, never."

He hadn't forgotten what had happened in the past; he was just curious...

“My sister knows.”

The martial arts contest to find a husband continues.

Mo Yan sat in her chair, sipping tea and waiting for someone to come and challenge her.

Not many people came up that day. After all, being of similar age eliminated many people, and having martial arts skills was also a requirement...

The civil officials could not come up, but someone else did.

Mo Yan looked at Prime Minister Wen's grandson with a hint of helplessness, "How come I remember you were the third-ranked scholar, Na Lang?"

What's a literature major doing here?

“Princess, I know I cannot defeat you. I only came up here to let you know my respect for you.”

Mo Yan: "???"

“Your Majesty’s righteousness is beyond my reach. I wish that Your Majesty’s wish may be fulfilled.”

Mo Yan: "..."

Then came a long string of praises, and finally he said, "Your Majesty, I would like to give it a try. Please give me your guidance."

Before they could even make a move, Moore arrived.

He directly stated his identity: "I am Prince Mur of the grasslands. If you marry me, you will be the future queen of the grasslands."

"You said it yourself, it's about the future. What if you get killed or eliminated? Wouldn't I have nothing left? If you want to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband, you have to bring a betrothal gift."

A prince's title is useless unless you have a fiefdom. Do you have one?

Mo Yan gave him a cold look and said sarcastically, almost as if to say that he had nothing at all.

This enraged Moore, who pulled out his token. "If I lose, I'll give you three cities!"

Even grasslands have towns, and a town can govern a very distant area.
