Using marriage to quell disputes was something that every emperor in history was happy to see. Over the past hundred years, the court has spent a lot of manpower and resources to quell the turmoil along the coast. The main reason was simply that it was mentally exhausting.
Because of the sea, the ships and personnel sent by Dongfu Kingdom each time were not many, and it was not difficult to defeat them. However, precisely because of this, Dongfu Kingdom was able to preserve its basic strength and had the capacity to invade every year.
Now, the Dongfu Kingdom has taken the initiative to show its sincerity, sending an envoy to visit for the first time in a century, and also revealing the news of choosing a son-in-law. As long as Princess Lingyu chooses a son-in-law she likes, peace will be ushered in between the two countries.
In reality, Dazeguo is not afraid of an island nation separated by the sea. It's just that there is pressure to govern the borders in the north, west, and south. If the east is quiet, it will give them some breathing room, which is certainly a good thing.
Therefore, even though they had been unhappy for many years, the imperial family still prepared a grand welcoming ceremony to give the other party ample face.
A grand banquet was held in the palace, attended not only by important officials, but also by princes of the royal family, heirs of princes, and noble sons of high-ranking families.
Princess Lingyu was not particularly beautiful, but she had a noble bearing and exuded supreme majesty. She always had a blank expression and didn't talk much, giving people a sense of being unapproachable.
At the center of the grand banquet, songs, dances, acrobatics, and musical performances unfolded one after another, showcasing the grandeur and style of a great nation.
The emperor made polite remarks, and Lingyu nodded in acknowledgment, occasionally replying with a few words, her gaze unintentionally falling on a woman below the throne.
The other party was also dressed in finery, and although he was in the midst of a grand banquet, he seemed detached from it all, with an indifferent expression.
But the person sitting in this position is no ordinary person.
Moreover, the woman exuded an aura of unwavering resolve, as if nothing could shake her will, and she could easily resolve any situation.
This is a confidence based on strength, a calmness that indicates certainty of victory.
Looking closely at his age, he seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Princess Lingyu became interested and asked, "Could the person sitting below the Emperor also be a princess of the Great Swamp Kingdom?"
Moreover, he should be the empress's legitimate son, but the problem is that in the Daze Kingdom, men are superior to women, so the one sitting in this position should be a respected prince.
The emperor laughed heartily and proudly introduced, "This is the national treasure of Daze Kingdom, Princess Zhenguo. Although she is not my biological daughter, she is better than my own. Princess Zhenguo is quite knowledgeable and effective in everything from farming and sericulture to irrigation and military formations. Everyone in Daze Kingdom knows the reputation of Princess Zhenguo and admires her."
Qiao Lian'er nodded slightly to Ling Yu, which was considered a greeting.
Lingyu was somewhat surprised that there was such an extraordinary woman in Daze Kingdom. She was the legitimate princess of Dongfu Kingdom and was the most valued by her father and mother. She had learned a lot of things since childhood, covering all aspects, and applied them in practice, solving many problems for Dongfu Kingdom. She also had the reputation of being unparalleled in wisdom.
From a young age, she felt that she was unique. She thought that all the women in the world were fools trapped at home, worrying about trivial matters, but she was different. She was a truly useful person with a vast world to explore.
This is what she is most proud of.
Seeing the Zhenguo Princess of Daze Kingdom receiving such high praise, and the Emperor even placing her above his own princesses and princes, she always felt that the other party was superior to her.
"In that case, Princess Zhenguo truly possesses extraordinary talent. I hope to receive more guidance from her in the future."
Lingyu smiled.
“I also want to learn more from Princess Lingyu,” Qiao Lian’er said.
