Princess Qi Yuandong smiled at her elder brother, her eyes filled with calm: "Brother, this is my choice. I believe that love is not just about possession, but also about responsibility and sacrifice. I am willing to do this for the sake of Qi Kingdom and for Consort Mu."
Emperor Qi Jingxuan took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Yuandong, I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety. You are not only my sister, but also a hero of the Qi Kingdom."
Princess Yuandong walked lightly into Yelü Yanyun's palace. Her gaze swept over the magnificent decorations and exquisite furnishings before finally settling on Yelü Yanyun. Yelü Yanyun was sitting by the window, holding an unfinished embroidery in her hand, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
"Your Highness, I've come to see you." Princess Qi Yuandong's voice was gentle yet firm.
Yelü Yanyun put down her embroidery, stood up, and smiled slightly: "Princess Yuandong, what brings you to my desolate palace?"
Princess Qi Yuandong walked up to Yelü Yanyun, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Your Highness Yanyun, I am about to travel to the northern frontier to fulfill the responsibilities of a princess. Before I leave, I want to come and see you to say goodbye."
A complex emotion flashed in Yelü Yanyun's eyes. She asked softly, "Princess Yuandong, are you really sure? The Northern Frontier is far away and unknown, you..."
Princess Qi Yuandong interrupted her, her voice carrying a hint of determination: "Your Highness Yan Yun, we are all women who have no choice in the matter. We have all made sacrifices for our country and our families. I believe that my journey will bring peace to the Qi Kingdom and also bring back Consort Mu."
A hint of admiration flashed in Yelü Yanyun's eyes. She grasped Qi Yuandong's hand, her voice trembling slightly, "Princess Yuandong, your courage and sacrifice are admirable. I will pray for you here."
A deep sense of empathy welled up in Yelü Yanyun's eyes. She couldn't help but stand up and hug Princess Qi Yuandong tightly. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears silently streamed down her face. "Princess Yuandong, I...I feel the same way. I was also a princess who married far away from home, and I know the hardships and difficulties involved."
Princess Qi Yuandong was moved by Yelü Yanyun's sudden embrace, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She gently stroked Yelü Yanyun's back and softly comforted her, "Your Highness Yanyun, we have come for love and peace. Although the journey is long, our hearts are strong."
However, Princess Qi Yuandong quickly realized that Yelü Yanyun had just given birth and should not be too emotional. She gently pushed Yelü Yanyun away and reminded her with concern, "Your Highness Yanyun, you have just given birth to a little princess and should not be too sad. Please take care of yourself and the little princess."
Upon hearing this, Yelü Yanyun quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She felt warmed by Princess Qi Yuandong's thoughtful reminder: "Princess Yuandong, you are right. I really lost my composure."
At this moment, despite their different backgrounds and experiences, the two princesses both displayed the unique tenderness and strength of women. Their mutual understanding and support brought immense comfort to each other's hearts.
Princess Qi Yuandong smiled, her eyes filled with determination and hope: "Your Highness Yan Yun, we are all brave women. No matter what lies ahead, we must persevere."
Yelü Yanyun held Qi Yuandong's hand tightly, her heart filled with gratitude: "Princess Yuandong, thank you for your encouragement. I will, and I will pray for you here, hoping that your journey to the marriage alliance will be safe and smooth."
