Quickly wear a life of peace

As for failure, she never thought about it.

She has been familiar with the art of war since childhood and has never slacked off in training. She is talented and has no rivals among her peers. Except for the captain of her mother's guard, she has never lost.

After the eldest princess left, envoys sent by Yunze Kingdom, one of the four major countries, also arrived.

There are four major countries on the continent, and the others are small countries that are not to be feared.

Now that Beiyan and Yulan have formed an alliance and jointly sent troops to attack Dongwu, Yunze will naturally not allow them to conquer Dongwu.

Otherwise, once they succeed and the Dongwu Kingdom is destroyed, he would be in danger.

However, Dongwu Kingdom has the strongest military, and Yunze Kingdom also hopes that Dongwu Kingdom will consume more of its strength, so it has not yet sent troops and wants to get some benefits from Dongwu Kingdom first.

Dongfang Ye hosted a banquet to entertain the envoys from Yunze Kingdom.

Duoduo also participated as a princess and sat next to the fourth princess.

At the banquet, both of them kept looking at each other.

Among the envoys from Yunze Kingdom, there was an unexpected person, their second prince Song Zhaoci.

The only possibility for a prince to be sent as an envoy to another country is to marry a princess.

The current ruler of Yunze Kingdom, Song Chen, has only two children, one is the prince Song Zhaoci, and the other is the princess Song Xiujin.

Among the emperors of this generation, Dongfang Ye had the most children, while no other emperor had more than four.

Song Zhaoci is only twelve years old, not much older than the second, third, and fourth princesses, so she is carefully comparing their strengths and weaknesses, intending to choose a suitable marriage partner from them.

Since the eldest princess has already gone off to war, Song Zhaoci would not consider these three princesses unless they were too incompetent.

In fact, if it weren't for the Dongwu Kingdom's rule that the prince cannot marry outside the country or marry a foreign prince, they would rather marry a prince back home.

Although Song Zhaoci's stare made the three of them uncomfortable, they endured it in order to get the help of Yunze Kingdom.

Everyone performed well, hoping to be chosen by the prince of Yunze Kingdom.

Duoduo was also looking at Song Zhaoci, who had fair skin, big, bright eyes, a full forehead, and a veil, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. But she had a graceful demeanor and an outstanding temperament.

The royal family has improved their genes from generation to generation, and their faces are all outstanding. His appearance is outstanding among all the princesses and princes.

The princesses had a very good first impression of Song Zhaoci.

At the banquet, the minister of Yunze Kingdom exchanged a few pleasantries and then went straight to the point, "Your Majesty of Dongwu Kingdom, our Yunze Kingdom is absolutely sincere in establishing diplomatic relations with your country. We also hope that Your Majesty of Dongwu Kingdom can show sincerity, and the two countries will help and support each other in the future."

Dongfang Ye did not respond on the spot, but arranged for someone to take the envoys from Yunze Kingdom to rest first.

Then she motioned for the princesses to leave, and she discussed the alliance with the ministers.

Except for Duoduo, the other three princesses looked at each other and saw the determination to win in each other's eyes.

A few people dispersed and quickly returned to the bedroom to check their private vaults to find a gift for Song Zhaoci.

Duoduo saw that Song Zhaoci was a person who liked simple and elegant clothes, so he dug a Qingshan Yuquan plant from his own small garden and gave it to the Fourth Princess as a gift.

The fourth princess looked at the red coral jewelry in her hand, then at the Qingshan Yuquan that Duoduo had sent her, and decisively chose the orchid. She tidied her clothes and headed towards the inn.

Outside the inn, the three princesses met unexpectedly and looked at each other with unfriendly eyes.

Also looking at each other's gifts.

The other two gifts were jewelry and room decorations, which were not obvious.

Only the Fourth Princess' orchid was exposed without any cover, which made the other two change their expressions. They cursed the Fourth Princess in their hearts for being shameless and always doing tricks to take advantage of them to become vulgar and materialistic.

It was too late to go back and change it now, so he had no choice but to knock on the door of the inn.

Song Zhaoci did not come out to meet them, which was normal. After all, the marriage partner had not been determined yet, so they still had to keep their distance.

The three of them said a few polite words, put down the gifts, and left.

After they left the door, the Second Princess and the Third Princess glared at the Fourth Princess fiercely before turning and leaving.

The fourth princess did not show any expression on her face, but she walked with great vigor and her back revealed a sense of joy.

Duoduo did not go with them and studied in the study of the Seventh and Fourth Princess.

As the fourth princess entered the study, she couldn't help but smile.

When Duoduo saw her expression, he knew that everything would go well for her.

"Sixth sister, I have to thank you today for finding such a good gift for me. It is better than those two. Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to compare with them."

Duoduo also smiled and congratulated her, "That's good. Sister, if you need anything in the future, just come to my place. I have a lot of new varieties in my garden now."

The smile on the fourth princess' face grew even bigger. "Okay, I won't be polite with you."

In the next few days, Dongfang Ye had frequent interactions with the ministers and envoys from the Yunze Kingdom to discuss important matters.

The three princesses tried their best to win the favor of Song Zhaoci.

Seeing the attitude of the princess of Dongwu Kingdom, Yunze Kingdom also felt at ease to discuss alliance matters with Dongfang Ye.

Because the marriage cannot be rushed, Dongfang Ye promised that Song Zhaoci would become the princess's husband and he would choose the candidate.

The alliance cannot be delayed any longer, and Yunze Kingdom does not dare to delay it for too long.

Since Beiyan and Yulan dared to send troops, they must have had a foolproof plan. They would not send troops without confidence.

So they also have to respond quickly and resist their alliance.

Three days later, the negotiations between the two countries ended, and Yunze Kingdom sent 100,000 troops to help Dongwu Kingdom resist the invading enemy.

The Dongwu Kingdom will be responsible for half of the food and fodder for these people, and will also provide an additional sum of gold and silver as their military expenses.

Since the two countries were coming with such a strong momentum and had already captured two cities in a row, as soon as everything was discussed here, Song Zhaoci immediately sent a pigeon message to Yunze State, saying that things were going well and allowing Yunze State to send troops.

The Yunze Kingdom did not send troops directly to the battlefield, but instead attacked the border town of the Yulan Kingdom that was closest to them, and took over the two small countries in between.

The Yulan Kingdom was well prepared, and their border towns also stockpiled a large number of troops in order to fight against the Yunze Kingdom.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

However, among the four countries, Yulan was the weakest and was unable to fight on two fronts. Part of its troops in Dongwu had to be withdrawn, giving Dongwu some breathing space.

Of course, if they dare to take action, they will not do so for the sake of a four-way confrontation.

Unrest soon broke out in the territory of Dongwu State, and several bandits suddenly emerged. They raised the banner of upholding justice and eliminating harm for the people, gathered the people together, and confronted the government.

There were also mutinies at two other garrisons.

So the second princess was also sent out, leading the imperial guards to suppress the bandits and rebellion.

The second princess was excited but unwilling when she received the decree.

He was happy to have the opportunity to lead troops into battle, but he was also worried that if he was away, Song Zhaoci would be deceived by the other two and lose the chance.
