Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Actually, there was another suggestion, but Fengchun dared not tell her master. However, Princess Longyu was already furious about it at the moment.

"What do you mean, 'I went once, so it's time for my adopted daughter to go again'?" Princess Longyu shouted at the Right Chancellor, her voice blaming as she hurled things at him. "Has Bai Shu lost his mind? Wan Ning's surname is Ye, not Li. Why should she be sent for a political marriage? Fine, fine, bring all the daughters of the Bai family now. I will adopt them all as my adopted daughters, one from the Wusu Xiongnu and one from the Xiongnu. Take them all for political marriages!"

Granny Jiang also felt that this suggestion was too bullying. "Your Highness, please calm down. The Right Prime Minister should not make such a suggestion. You have already dedicated yourself for more than ten years. How can we let Miss Ye go again? Besides, if we send Miss Ye to marry into a foreign land, won't others gossip about us behind our backs? The Right Prime Minister is really malicious."

"Yes, he supported my marriage alliance back then. Did he think I was just an innocent teenager? How ridiculous. Go and send a message to Xie Bohuai, saying I want to see him. I want to see how powerful his Bai Shu is, and whether he can withstand Xie Bohuai's wrath." Princess Longyu snorted and then sent someone else to Prince Duan's residence. "Go and tell Prince Duan that whoever agrees to the marriage alliance, let their daughter go. If the Crown Prince agrees, let Ning An go. I believe that with Ning An's abilities, she can definitely bring peace between the two countries for fifty years."

When the envoy from Wusu mentioned the marriage alliance, the princes remained silent. The emperor went to ask the crown prince, who said that Princess Longyu's marriage alliance had brought more than ten years of peace. Now that Princess Longyu had retired after her success, the marriage alliance could be considered.

From the Crown Prince's perspective, he is a noble prince with only one legitimate daughter, Princess Ning'an. If he were to choose someone for a political marriage, he certainly wouldn't choose his daughter. Although the Sixth Prince's daughter is a bit young, it would still take more than half a year to travel from the capital to Wusu.

The crown prince was paving the way for his future ascension to the throne. Anyway, she wasn't his daughter, but all the benefits would be his.

The news of the palace banquet reached Princess Longyu's ears, and also reached Xie Bohuai's ears.

The Emperor summoned Xie Bohuai and asked him for his opinion.

"Our dynasty has been recuperating for several years and is not afraid of the small country of Usu." Xie Bohuai paused, "Moreover, Usu is likely to experience internal strife, so it is nothing to fear."

"Internal strife?"

"The throne of Wusu has just changed hands, and the Wusu envoy was assassinated en route, which shows that Wusu is not at peace. In that case, I think we should not pursue a marriage alliance. Instead, we should wait until the internal strife subsides, annex Wusu, and reap the benefits." Xie Bohuai had always been a ruthless man, and only Xie Bohuai said he was a good person.

Even the Emperor was often amazed by Xie Bohuai's skill and ambition. If Xie Bohuai hadn't made too many enemies and had to rely on the imperial power, the Emperor would not have given him such an important position.

Of course, given Xie Bohuai's wit, this was also a means of self-protection.

“When our ancestors established their dynasty, Wusu did indeed submit to our dynasty. If I can reclaim Wusu, I will be remembered in history.” The emperor became more and more excited as he spoke. “However, I need to come up with a reason to deal with the Wusu envoy. I can’t let myself be the first to fall out with them.”

They refused the envoy's demands, yet wanted to protect their reputation.

Xie Bohuai had already prepared a suggestion: "Princess Longyu has been married off for many years, but she has always wanted to return, which shows that the princess has no attachment to Wusu. In that case, why not let Princess Longyu come forward? She was the former Princess of Wusu. With her in charge, the Wusu envoys will have to bow down."

The Emperor was somewhat worried. “I’m afraid Longyu doesn’t want to get involved in these matters anymore. She didn’t even come to yesterday’s palace banquet, which shows that she only wants to live her own life now.”

"No, the princess will definitely intervene this time." Xie Bohuai knew that Princess Longyu was a ruthless person. The marriage to Usuti would give Princess Longyu a place to vent her anger. "However, if we want the princess to intervene, we still need to ask the Right Prime Minister to mediate."

The Emperor was puzzled, "Why must it be the Right Chancellor?"

"Because the Right Chancellor offended the Princess," Xie Bohuai said. "If the Princess doesn't get her revenge, she probably won't step in to resolve the matter."

The Zhenfu Division had the best information network in the entire capital. Without even needing to see Princess Longyu, Xie Bohuai had already devised a plan to retaliate against the Right Chancellor.

The Emperor quickly understood what was going on. Rather than letting people criticize him, it was acceptable to have the Right Chancellor apologize to the Princess's residence, so he immediately agreed.

When Xie Bohuai left the palace, he learned that Princess Longyu had invited him to speak, but he refused directly, saying, "I don't need her to say anything. I've already taken care of everything that needed to be done."

What kind of person is he, and what kind of person is Princess Longyu?

Both of them are prominent figures in the capital. If they frequently appear at the princess's residence, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

Moreover, he and Princess Longyu were never on the same side.

Inside the princess's residence, Princess Longyu waited and waited, but Xie Bohuai did not appear. She was getting impatient. "Is Xie Bohuai deaf? Surely he knows something so important?"

"It shouldn't be that bad," said Granny Jiang.

“Yes, he should know!” Princess Longyu’s eyes darted around, but she quickly calmed down. “Since he knows, given Xie Bohuai’s personality, he definitely won’t let this succeed. Let’s wait and see. I reckon Xie Bohuai has already made his move.”

In the afternoon, upon hearing from the gatekeeper that the Right Chancellor had come to visit, Princess Longyu understood Xie Bohuai's intentions.

She raised her hand and smashed a few vases. "No need to clean up, just bring the Atractylodes macrocephala like this."

When the Right Chancellor entered, he saw the mess on the floor and his heart sank slightly. He then bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects. May Your Highness be well."

"Wan'an? With you here, how can I be at peace?" Princess Longyu swept her gaze over, cold and full of murderous intent. "Do you think I'm easy to bully? I just gained a goddaughter who can talk to me, and you, before anyone else has even thought of me, are already hoping I'll become all alone. Bai Shu, bring your granddaughters with you. I want to get to know them too."

Princess Longyu paused, smiled, and added, "I've also brought my grandson. I'm tired of the male concubines here. I saw your grandson last time and thought he was quite nice, so I brought him to keep me company. As for my granddaughter, don't worry, I'm always generous. I'll definitely give them a generous dowry so they can experience what it's like to be married off for political reasons!"

"Your Highness, please calm down." Bai Shu knew that coming here today would bring trouble, but he did not expect Princess Longyu to speak so directly and harshly. The words he had prepared were now useless. This was like a scholar encountering a soldier; he could not reason with her.

"Calm down? How can I calm down?" Princess Longyu smashed a teacup at Bai Shu, soaking Bai Shu's clothes with tea, but Bai Shu dared not get angry.

The fact that the Emperor sent Bai Shu here today shows that the Emperor values ​​Princess Longyu and does not approve of the marriage alliance.

It was Atractylodes macrocephala that chose the wrong path.

He could only endure it.

"Don't think that just because you don't speak, I'll let you off the hook." Princess Longyu walked towards Baishu. "What's wrong? You want my adopted daughter to go for a political marriage, and I want to adopt your child as my adopted daughter, and you disagree? You won't feel the pain until the knife is stuck in your own body. It was Father who sent you here, wasn't it? But Baishu, what are you going to do to appease me?"

Bai Shu frowned. He was, after all, the Right Prime Minister, yet Princess Longyu was so arrogant. He should have settled this matter last night, and there would be no need for him to beg for Princess Longyu's forgiveness today.

Unfortunately, he wasn't ruthless enough in his actions, so now he can only let Princess Longyu vent her anger.

"How about this, you let all your children live in the Princess's residence. I'll send them back whenever I feel like it." Princess Longyu's tone brooked no refusal.

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with them!" Bai Shu protested.

"What does this marriage alliance have to do with my Wan Ning?" Princess Longyu raised her voice, and Ye Wan Ning, who was hiding behind the screen, trembled upon hearing it.
