——
Prince Qing's Mansion.
Inside the lobby.
"No! Impossible! I will never go to the Southern Barbarians!" Jin Changge shouted angrily at his father.
Prince Qing sat upright in his chair. He had anticipated his daughter's attitude, so he remained calm and simply chuckled, saying:
"Hehe, Yongning, I know you are proud and arrogant, and you look down on ordinary people."
"But the Wu family of the Southern Barbarians are no ordinary people. The Wu family are the rulers of the Southern Barbarians, and their leader, Wu Kui, is a renowned hero with the same courage as his father. It is said that when he was sixteen, he went into the deep mountains alone to fight a tiger, showing the courage of ten thousand men!"
"Now that he is in charge of the Southern Barbarians, he has many soldiers and brave generals. If you go to the Southern Barbarians, it will not be a disgrace to your status as a princess."
After saying this, Jin Changge shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.
Her delicate face was flushed with anger.
"No, I know who the Southern Barbarians are. Wu Kui's father led the Southern Barbarians to invade my Daqian territory back then. If it weren't for General Huwei defeating him, they would still be causing trouble now."
"As the saying goes, like father, like son. I don't believe Wu Kui is any good person."
"Besides, I don't want to get married. What's so good about getting married? Staying at home to be a wife and mother? I can't sit still like that!"
At this point, she sat down in her chair, puffing out her cheeks.
Prince Qing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "You can't say that. The Southern Barbarians have now submitted to my Great Gan, unlike back then."
"Not to mention that Wu Kui is a renowned hero, you won't be wronged by marrying him. Furthermore, after you marry him, the relationship between the Southern Barbarians and our Great Gansu will be even closer, and they will not harbor any disloyal intentions in the future. This is a good thing for the country and the people."
"This is a win-win situation, so why wouldn't you want it?"
After she finished speaking, Jin Changge was taken aback. Then, she raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:
"Father, if that's the case, the southern barbarians have already submitted, so why make me marry into their family?"
"Besides, the Southern Barbarians haven't harbored any disloyal intentions over the years, so why are you asking me to marry into their family now?"
"Could it be that, Father, you..."
Before Jin Changge could finish speaking, Prince Qing's expression darkened, and he said:
"You keep talking about wanting to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, but you are a woman. What can you do with those men in the army? Who will respect you? Just because you are a princess?"
"Without this princess status, who will listen to you?"
"If you marry Wu Kui, firstly, it will bring the Southern Barbarians closer to us and make them more loyal to us in the future. Secondly, once you go to the Southern Barbarians, whatever you want to achieve, with your status as the Southern Barbarian King's wife, it's just a matter of whispering in their ear."
“The southern barbarians are fond of martial arts. You should talk to Wu Kui. It wouldn’t be a big deal to give you an army to lead. Wouldn’t that suit your taste just right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Changge frowned deeply:
“I don’t want it to be like this. A woman can also achieve great things.”
"Why must I rely on others? I can start from scratch."
"Anyway, I won't get married, and I certainly won't go to the Southern Barbarians, so whatever you say, Father, is useless."
"If you force me to go, then I'll make a scene. Humph, I will never marry into that family."
Upon hearing this, Prince Qing slammed his hand on the table, his face showing a hint of anger, and said:
"Yongning! Listen carefully!"
“The world is not peaceful these days. Some time ago in the East China Sea, Japan began to harass fishermen, showing signs of landing in the East China Sea and causing trouble.”
"In Xijing, Qin Ze amassed a large army and used the pretext of war with Tuyuan Kingdom to sustain his war effort. He even killed all the people His Majesty sent to deliver imperial edicts! His treasonous intentions are known to all!"
"There are still members of the Red Tide Alliance causing trouble behind the scenes and misleading the people!"
"With such frequent chaos, if the southern barbarians were to harbor rebellious intentions and launch a full-scale attack, wouldn't everything be in complete disarray? How could the people possibly live in peace and prosperity? In that case, there would inevitably be widespread bloodshed!"
"Sending you to marry a southern barbarian is a good thing for both you and the people of the world!"
"You keep talking about doing this and that for the people at home every day, is it all just empty talk?"
After she finished speaking, Jin Changge's face turned deathly pale, and her voice trembled:
"But...I really..."
Before he could finish speaking, Prince Qing narrowed his eyes and interrupted:
"Remember this! You are the daughter of Prince Qing, not some commoner. If you truly care about the people, then marry into the Southern Barbarian tribe and do something practical for them!"
"For both public and private reasons, you should marry into the Southern Barbarian tribe!"
Jin Changge was speechless after hearing these words. She wanted to argue, but she couldn't say anything for a moment.
As her father said, her marriage to the southern barbarians was indeed a good thing for the people of the world.
After all, the southern barbarians were loyal to the Great Campaign and had no disloyal intentions, so the people would not be ravaged by war.
only....
Was she really going to be married off to the Southern Barbarians and become a so-called Southern Barbarian King's wife?
In that instant, Jin Changge's mind was racing, and his face grew increasingly pale.
Admittedly, for the sake of peace and stability, and to prevent chaos in the world, what does it matter if one is unwilling?
Jin Changge could no longer find a reason to say "no," but her heart sank to the bottom, as if a stone was stuck in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Two hands clasped together helplessly, their fingertips already icy cold.
At this moment, Prince Qing stood up and said, word by word:
