"Okay, secondly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Fuding State may seem like a huge and solid network, but the northwest is a breakthrough point. If this breakthrough point is breached, the entire border area of Fuding State will be threatened. Therefore, the northwest is very important. We must defend it and cannot lose it."
"Next, I've been to the Simu Kingdom. Although they are barbarians and illiterate, their customs are simple and the people are extremely honest. They simply lack culture, and their invasion of our northwest border may have been instigated by others. If Princess Helan were to go there to marry, bringing with her literary works, teachers, and some music and dance that can cultivate the mind and body, perhaps this would be an opportunity for friendship between our two countries."

"More than sixty?" The Queen Mother was shocked. She had no knowledge of the internal affairs of Simu Kingdom. She only heard that the leader of Simu Kingdom was a middle-aged man who was philandering and lazy.
That's why she didn't want to marry Helan Minzhi to such an ugly and philandering old man.
"I've heard some things, but they're probably just rumors," said Grand Tutor Yu. "How else would Prime Minister Tang know about the internal affairs of the Simu Kingdom? Could it be that you're on good terms with the Simu Kingdom's leader?"
