After knowing that she would be staying in the palace tonight, Xiao Jinxi ran over to look for her. As someone who stayed behind in the name of the princess, how could he refuse?
What kind of mission was it to be with a princess? They were actually just hostages in the relationship between the two countries. When the two countries were on good terms, they had both food and drink and status, and after the relationship between the two countries broke down, they were the first to be pulled out.
Regardless of whether the relationship between the two countries broke down completely or if the relationship became peaceful again, it had nothing to do with the princess, it was merely a cannon fodder in the midst of changes in the relationship between two countries.
Xiao Ran Xi was Xiao Wen Feng's only daughter. There was no need to talk about spoiling her tender life, she had heard a lot since she was born in the Imperial Family. How could she not know about this marriage matter?
Lu JinNian looked at Xiao Ranxi, whose body was trembling unconsciously but pretended to be calm. He asked calmly, ”Have you really thought this through?”
”Jin, in order for the civilians at the border to no longer be disturbed, in order for the soldiers at the border to no longer be innocent and bloodthirsty, it is our duty to tie the knot with Richie, this is the responsibility of a princess of the Ming Xuan Kingdom, so whether I want to think it through or not, I must go. Since that's the case, I might as well accept it as early on.”
”Ah Jin admires the righteousness of the princess.”
The history of the country Lu JinNian lived in in in her previous life had given her a strong sense of experience. Although she did not understand the diplomatic methods of marriage alliance, it did not prevent her from realizing that the country she lived in for her entire life was not strong enough.
”In my opinion, if a country needs a woman in exchange for a short and unreliable peace, to be able to achieve such a state of grievance, basically, it doesn't hold much hope for its future development. But from the perspective of the princess and the emperor, if it can be exchanged for a few years of peaceful rest in the State of Ming Xuan, it would truly be the fortune of the common people.”
Xiao Ran Xi blinked her eyes and said, ”I can understand that as my friend, A Jin doesn't want to part with me, but as a citizen of the Ming Xuan Country, he wants me to join the marriage alliance?”
Lu JinNian shook his head, ”Princess is joking. If possible, A Jin is willing to be angry for the Crown Prince, and bring Princess to roam the world.”
With that, both of them fell silent.
If she didn't want to marry, she could escape the marriage and hide her name, but if that was the case, the Ming Xuan Congress would completely infuriate the Rui Xi country, suffering from their vicious revenge, and the soldiers of Wei country would know that the reason for their war was because of a headstrong princess …
How should he view his comrades who had lost their lives, the spears in his hands, the rulers of his own country?
Therefore, it wasn't that he couldn't, but that he couldn't.
I know it's impossible, but I'm glad that A Jin said so. Of course, it would be better if the one fighting for the marriage wasn't A Jin, but a peerless hero. Aiya, I've heard that Prince Rui has been ill for a long time.
Glimmers danced in Lu JinNian's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
She knew that she was not a good person. The reason why she said this was not to comfort her, but to force her to recognize reality and not give her any room to retreat. As a princess, she naturally did not want the people of her homeland to be displaced by the flames of war.
She only wanted to live the rest of her life in peace. If there was a way to make peace without having to fight the beacons, then she would try to use this method. Although Lu JinNian did not like this method of marriage, but she did not do anything more for this reason.
It was a peace that was as fragile as a cicada's wing …
