Trust is growing
In the meeting hall of ancient Egypt, the air was filled with mixed vanilla incense and tense uncertainty, like a huge invisible net that tightly entangled all present.
Ding Wei stood in the center, facing the complicated diplomatic deadlock. On one side were the serious and arrogant faces of the Hittite envoys, and on the other side was the rare approval in Ramses' eyes - she knew that today she had to win everyone's trust with her actions.
Ramses' voice was like the desert wind: "Nefertari, what kind of changes will your proposal bring?"
Ding Wei adjusted her breathing slightly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the stars in her eyes were brighter than the sunlight coming through the skylight above her head.
"Your Majesty the Pharaoh."
She began to speak, as if weaving a colorful tapestry, interweaving the light and shadow of yesterday and tomorrow.
"We and the Hittites need each other like air and water. Through fair trade, we can shift the battlefield to the market, no longer fighting each other with weapons, but coexisting with mutual benefit."
The Hittite envoy gave him a cold glance, his expression unmoved.
"Mutual benefit? Why should Egypt's interests be put before ours?"
Ding Wei smiled, like a gentle yet firm wind blowing across the sand dunes.
"Imagine if we put Nubian gold and Hittite bronze into the same furnace, what would we see?"
The venue suddenly became quiet, as if all eyes were attracted by her wisdom.
The messenger's brows slowly relaxed, obviously attracted by her sudden metaphor.
However, just as the discussion began to slowly turn in a favorable direction, the voice of an opponent in the palace interrupted the harmonious rhythm like a loud bell.
"Ding Wei is just an outsider. Where does her identity come from? Who gives her the right to decide our future?"
The voice came from a powerful noble in the corner, his small eyes full of suspicion and hostility.
The air was like cold stone slabs, and Ding Wei could feel the cold sweat beads sliding down her back.
The whispers of the people around her were like a woodpecker tapping on the bark of a tree, and they also hit her nerves hard.
Ramses clenched his right hand habitually, and the lapis lazuli beads in his palm rang slightly.
He maintained a dignified posture, but conveyed steady support to Ding Wei without making a sound.
She took a breath and tried to calm herself. "Maybe I'm an outsider, but that's precisely why I see things from a new perspective. It's this fresh perspective that brings us new opportunities."
The opponents seemed to want to say something, but Ding Wei had already looked around calmly, as if using an ancient power to calm everyone down.
The Hittite envoys began to discuss in low voices, as if realizing that their attitude was too harsh.
“We can start small.”
She continued, following her previous line of thought: "For example, we could test the waters with small-scale trade to see if both sides can truly benefit from it."
Her words echoed in the air again, like a gentle breeze, gently peeling off the hard parts.
Ramses looked at her, a secret and confident smile on his face.
At this moment, Ding Wei is not only standing beside Ramses, but also standing at the turning point of history, controlling her own legend.
As the meeting was coming to an end, the Hittite envoy finally nodded.
"Maybe we can try."
Ding Wei felt the pressure on her shoulders suddenly relieved, while the inextinguishable fire in her heart became stronger than ever.
She knew that because of this small change of will, a path in the future had opened up to her.
After everyone left the meeting room, Ramses whispered to Ding Wei, "Nefertari, you showed us a miracle today."
Ding Wei nodded slightly and thought to herself: This is my miracle, and you are the one I am willing to share it with.
She knew that those warm eyes would become her most powerful shield in this era.
However, this crisis is just the beginning. At this moment, all she can do is to strengthen her faith and take the next step.

"Nefertari, your wisdom is like the waters of the Nile, which never runs dry."
Ramses' voice whispered in her ear, as if paving a golden path for her future.
Ding Wei smiled slightly, knowing in her heart that this was just the beginning.
