"In my opinion, it would be better to let your princess marry a prince from the Central Plains. Throughout history, there have been countless examples of using marriage alliances to achieve long-term stability."
Qiu Yan nodded in agreement, realizing for the first time that what Qin Susu said made a lot of sense.
And Mayi's eyes lit up as well.
A prince from the Central Plains? That sounds pretty good.
She felt that any man was far superior to Huyan Chanyu.
"A marriage alliance?" King Lu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The prince won't do; since it's a marriage alliance, let him marry their emperor.
It is feasible.
But what if Huyan Chanyu retaliates?
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
"No, no, that's not appropriate."
"Why can't it work?" Mayi's face darkened for the second time.
She wasn't a woman from the Central Plains, and her face showed none of the reserve that a woman from the Central Plains should have.
"Yes, why can't it work?" Qin Susu asked.
Qiu Yan didn't say anything, but she could tell at a glance what Lu Shi Wang was thinking.
"If it's inappropriate to say it, then it's inappropriate!"
As Ma Yi and Qin Susu pressed him for answers, Lu Shiwang's already impatient expression grew even more irritable.
Huyan Chanyu threatened him with words all day long, and he dared not speak out against him.
Furthermore, he didn't want his family affairs to be controlled by a woman from the Central Plains.
He nodded slightly to Qiu Yan, then waved to Mayi, signaling her to leave.
"I have important matters to attend to. You may leave."
"Father!" Mayi stepped forward again, wanting to say more, but King Lushi said coldly, "Don't bother me anymore!"
Mayi pouted and gently stomped her foot.
Her father only cared about his own land and didn't care about her life or death at all.
"Xiao Yan." Mayi looked at Qiu Yan again with pleading eyes.
"Master Lu!" Seeing that Master Lu had already turned around and was preparing to go back to his room to rest, Qiu Yan immediately called out to him.
"Nothing is set in stone. Perhaps Huyan Chanyu has already given up on marrying your daughter."
To save money for the journey, I must hurry on my way so I can see my beloved sooner.
Because of her friendship with Mayi over the past few days,
Also for the sake of future business,
I have to help Qiu Yan, whether I want to or not.
Who told her to be poor?
"Oh?" Lu Shiwang paused, turning around at Qiu Yan's last sentence.
"You think he'll give up?" Although he harbored a sliver of hope, Lu Shiwang believed it was absolutely impossible.
"He won't."
It's all because his daughter is so beautiful.
After all these years of contact with Huyan Chanyu, he knew Huyan Chanyu all too well.
He was extremely fond of beautiful women, not just a little bit.
His tribe had countless women, comparable to a harem.
Qiu Yan: "It's possible." She didn't say anything too definitive.
"Do you have a solution?" Lu Shiwang looked at Qiu Yan expectantly, his impatience gradually fading.
Seeing Qiu Yan nod, Master Lu did not press the matter further.
Qiu Yan stopped there and said no more.
Lu Shiwang's silence left Mayi feeling uneasy.
"Father, will you allow your daughter to leave?"
King Lu waved his hand and said only:
"I'm tired and need to rest."
Mayi had no choice but to shut up.
Qiu Yan took her leave and prepared to go find Huyan Chanyu.
Mayi and Qin Susu followed behind, the former looking worried and the latter sighing at Lu Shiwang's stubbornness.
Seeing Mayi's sullen mood, Qin Susu felt deeply sorry for her and, not forgetting to give her a blatantly bad idea,
"Princess Mayi, no, let's run away."
Qiu Yan shook her head secretly.
Susu, is this your solution?
Lu Shi Wang had clearly already tacitly agreed, so how come these two couldn't see it?
