"Huh? Those things?" Lu Ni's mind immediately conjured up images of the princes from the West, then she waved her hand dismissively. "Mom, I think we should forget about it. Of all those from the West, only Cheng Huaijin and Helian Yi seem somewhat pleasing to the eye; I can't stand the rest. Not to mention the harsh environment in the West. Didn't you see how dark-skinned all the princesses are? I don't want them."
"Who told you about the West?" Madam Lin rolled her eyes at Lu Ni, then turned to look at the screen.
"Him? Mother, you mean Frog?" Lu Ni looked over in horror, then quickly turned her head back, and also turned Lin Shi's head back to its original position. "Mother, please spare me! I don't like Frog, and I don't want to go with him."
"Is he not good-looking? Or is he short of money?" Madam Lin said speechlessly. "I've inquired about it. Among the three kingdoms of Dongzhe, Nanlin, and Jiacang, Dongzhe is the richest. Moreover, look at the envoys from Dongzhe. They look similar to people from our Great Zhou. None of them are too dark-skinned, and none of them have outrageous appearances. Even the food they eat is similar to what we eat in Great Zhou. Therefore, we can conclude that the environment there is similar to that of Great Zhou."
Lu Ni wanted to interject, but was interrupted by Madam Lin: "Ni'er, listen to your mother. Before the delegation leaves and before Princess Nanlin's case is solved, you and Prince Tiantian will be locked up together. It's perfect that you know Dongzhe language, so you can communicate with him and develop a relationship."
"If the result is really not ideal, then we will ask your father to ask Lu Zheng to ask the Emperor to grant you and Prince Tiantian a marriage."
"Don't rush, let your mother finish speaking. If you can leave with Prince Tiantian, your mother won't have to worry about you anymore. Even if your mother dies one day, she will be at peace with you. If the Emperor bestows a marriage upon you, Prince Tiantian won't dare to mistreat you. At that time, you will represent the Great Zhou. Even if he neglects you, you can still give birth to children. You will be the principal wife. You only need to educate your son well, and don't worry about anything else."
“If you are threatened in Dongzhe, or if you are tortured by their people, Da Zhou will not stand idly by. Even Gu Xin and Lu Zheng will put on their armor to seek justice for you. No, they will go to save face for Da Zhou.”
"Therefore, marrying into Dongzhe is the most advantageous thing for you. After you give birth to your child, in a few years, Prince Tiantian can send someone to fetch your brother and sister-in-law to visit you. Once they are there, you can settle them down. That way, your mother can be completely at ease."
"So, Ni'er, remember to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Prince Tiantian. If possible, use some special means to force him to marry you. Your current status is that of the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion. As long as he touches you, neither the Emperor nor your father will let him leave so easily."
"Do you understand what your mother is saying?"
Lu Ni was stunned by these words.
She never expected her mother to make her do this. She hated Prince Tiantian very much. If she had to submit to Prince Tiantian, she would rather risk everything and secretly enter the palace to submit to the emperor.
Even the Emperor is old enough to be the father of Prince Tiantian.
Another point is that she really didn't want to go to an unfamiliar place, even though what her mother said made a lot of sense, and even though it was indeed the best choice for her and her mother.
