The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Goodness, is this some serious stuff? A prince, and a marriage proposal?

Are you kidding me?

Du Mingxian hurriedly stood up from her seat, quickly walked to the center and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am already engaged."

The Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh, they're already engaged." Then he looked at the Crown Prince of Dafan. "Crown Prince of Dafan, since Miss Wen is already engaged, there's no way to break up a couple. Why don't you take another look?"

The Crown Prince of Dafan refused, saying, "Your Majesty, we have come here to establish a marriage alliance and to demonstrate the sincerity of Dafan. We have also brought my Emperor's most beloved princess. With such sincerity, are you saying that we cannot even allow a subject's daughter from Dafan to marry into our family?"

The Emperor was displeased, but he did not show it. "It's not that I don't want Da Shun's daughter to marry into the country, but she is already engaged. We have many young ladies in Da Shun. Why should the Crown Prince of Da Fan set his sights on one who is already engaged?"

"Some people are unforgettable at first sight. When I entered this hall just now, I felt a sudden light on my eyes. No matter how many people there are, they cannot catch my eye. Only this one has captured my heart at first glance," the Crown Prince of Dafan said with great conviction.

The emperor remained silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Everyone could see that this prince of the Great Barbarian Kingdom was doing it on purpose. There were so many unmarried young ladies from noble families sitting there, yet he had to pick someone who was already engaged to snatch away.

Do you think the barbarians really enjoy stealing other people's things?

Seeing this, Du Mingxian lowered her head and looked at the marble floor. After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from the Emperor, she guessed what was going on.

She simply looked up, meeting the eyes of the Great Barbarian Crown Prince, and said firmly, "Great Barbarian Crown Prince, do you mean that I will marry no one but you?"

“Yes, I have taken a liking to you,” the Great Barbarian Crown Prince said frankly.

Before Du Mingxian could speak, Ling Silang, who was sitting at the very end, quickly got up from his seat, walked to Du Mingxian's side and knelt down. "Your Majesty, the person betrothed to Miss Wen is your humble servant. Your Majesty and I have long been engaged and planned to get married after this birthday celebration."

Upon seeing this scene, the Emperor suddenly became interested. "So it's Lord Qi. In that case, Lord Qi, please tell us how to resolve this matter."

Ling Silang raised his head. Although he was still kneeling, he stood up straight and exuded an aura that was even stronger than that of the Crown Prince of Dafan. "Your Highness, Crown Prince of Dafan, you are going to marry my woman."

"She is not your woman until we are married."

Ling Silang didn't rush to argue with him. "Then I have a few questions I'd like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince of Dafan."

"You said."

"First, Your Highness, you said that you married a woman from our Great Shun for the sake of friendly relations between our two countries. So, what rank will you give to this woman who is willing to marry so far away?"

This is a difficult problem.

If it's just a small country marrying a princess from a large country, then she'll naturally become a queen.

Even so, the queen cannot have her own children. People of small countries will definitely want the person who will ascend the throne in the future to have pure blood from their own blood.

If a nation has the bloodline of a great power, then it fears the destruction of a small nation.

If a small country is like this, how much more so when the Great Shun and the Great Fan are on par?

“If she were a princess of Da Shun, she would naturally be the mother of our nation. But since Da Shun has no princess now, she is naturally a concubine.”

“I’m afraid that won’t work.” Ling Silang said sarcastically. “Since it’s a diplomatic relationship, what rank will the Crown Prince offer to demonstrate his determination to make peace? If it’s just a concubine’s rank, then why would our Great Shun send a young lady from a noble family over?”

The Crown Prince of Dafan narrowed his eyes, his gaze toward Ling Silang filled with hostility.

The patriotic officials of Da Shun looked at Ling Silang with increasing affection, and even the emperor, sitting on the throne, looked at Ling Silang with a look of surprise in his eyes.

“We also want to give her the title of Queen Mother, but your Great Shun has princesses. Are you suggesting that the daughter of an official should be our Great Fan’s Queen Mother? Where would that leave our Great Fan’s face? How could I explain this to my people?”

"In that case, Your Highness should not force a marriage. You should ask which young lady here is willing to go back to Dafan with you. That would solve the problem."
