Upon hearing this, Princess Rongyang slowly lowered her eyes and murmured, "So, I have to go and marry into a foreign power, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Lü'er also knelt before Princess Rongyang and began to weep softly.

"Princess, what should we do!"

Princess Rongyang slowly closed her eyes, and tears instantly fell from them.

"Are you going to marry into the Great Qi?"

"Then I will never see my grandmother again, never see His Majesty again, and never see Sister Jingchun again."

"And my brother Ziqian, I...I want to marry him so much..."

After Princess Rongyang finished speaking, she buried her face in her arms on the table and began to sob.

She slowly got up after she had cried herself out.

Upon seeing this, Greenie immediately handed her a cup of tea.

"Princess, please have some tea first."

For as long as Princess Rongyang cried, Lü'er cried too, and now her voice was terribly hoarse.

Princess Rongyang shook her head.

Greenie's tears fell again instantly.

"Why don't you go and beg the Empress Dowager, Princess? She loves you so much, she certainly won't just stand by and watch you marry into the Great Qi."

Princess Rongyang shook her head.

"It's no use."

“I am a princess of the Great Qi, and I enjoy the love and support of my people. Therefore, I must shoulder the responsibilities of being a princess.”

"It's just a marriage alliance. If it can spare the people of Dacheng from war, then I will go."

She stood up as she spoke.

“Let’s go to the main hall and tell His Majesty my thoughts in person.”
