Chapter 212

An unchangeable fact!

The Great Tang's practice of marriage alliances is not an occasional occurrence; it has even become a standard political tool.

Those women who married far away to foreign lands, which one of them had a good ending?

Either they suffered endless humiliation, or they had to swallow their pride.

Yet the noble families in Chang'an City still lived in luxury.

They enjoyed the best treatment in this world, yet pushed Han women to the forefront of danger.

Once war arrives.

It is not only the sorrow of the common people, but also the sorrow of Han women!

"Brother-in-law, you are so right! I toast you!"

Changle was so excited that she raised her wine cup again and drank it all in one gulp.

Her little face was flushed, and she seemed to be drunk.

Li Xueyan's stubborn face showed no expression, but the tears rolling down her cheeks said it all.

Am I not just a princess used for marriage alliances?

Am I not just a political sacrifice?

Great Tang, oh Great Tang!

From today on, I, Li Xueyan, am a person of Great Qin!

The banquet continued.

After the Western Regions nations expressed their intention to sever ties with the Great Tang, Qin Mu established trade relations with them.

Hearing this, the rulers present were all overjoyed.

Since stepping into Great Qin territory, everything here had deeply attracted them.

All kinds of books, a wide variety of goods.

Many things were no less impressive than those of the Great Tang, and even more brilliant!

Now that they were severing ties with the Great Tang, how to obtain the necessary goods became a major problem for the Western Regions nations.

Qin Mu's proposal to establish trade relations completely resolved their worries, and they were sincerely willing to sever ties with the Great Tang.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment; I have a proposal, I wonder if I should speak it or not?"

The Queen of Jingjue stood up, her uniquely enchanting voice making everyone feel weak.

"Hahaha, Queen of Jingjue, today in front of the Great Qin Emperor, just say whatever you have to say."

"Hehe, I guess the Queen of Jingjue wants to offer herself? Our Great Qin Emperor is talented and resourceful; where else can one find such a perfect husband?"

"Exactly! No wonder you rejected several marriage proposals from the Jingjue Kingdom; it turns out you wanted to marry the Great Qin Emperor!"

"Hahaha!"

The rulers present joked one after another.

The Queen of Jingjue is a remarkable woman!

Since childhood, she has been learned and talented, proficient in the cultures of various countries.

Especially Central Plains culture, which she knows by heart.

Not only that.

The Queen of Jingjue is also the greatest beauty among the thirty-six Western Regions nations.

Countless men are infatuated with her, and many have even willingly given their lives for her.

"Hehe!"

"If the Great Qin Emperor does not mind, this lowly woman would naturally wish for nothing more."

The Queen of Jingjue glanced at Qin Mu intentionally or unintentionally.

Charming and alluring!

"Hmph!"

Li Xueyan's face suddenly turned cold, and cold killing intent appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Daring to snatch a man in front of this Princess!

Tired of living?

"Cough, cough..."

"Queen of Jingjue, let's hear your proposal."

Qin Mu coughed awkwardly.

Why is the atmosphere a bit strange?

"As you command!"

"Great Qin Emperor, our thirty-six Western Regions nations have been in conflict for over a hundred years, suffering from war, all because there is no one to preside over the big picture."

"Today, this lowly woman proposes that the Great Qin Emperor become the suzerain of our thirty-six Western Regions nations! From now on, my Jingjue Kingdom is willing to serve the Great Qin Emperor."

After speaking, the Queen of Jingjue knelt down, using unprecedented etiquette to express her loyalty to Qin Mu.

Once this proposal was made, it immediately received the approval of all the rulers present.

"Well said! My Gao Chang Kingdom is willing to go through fire and water for the Great Qin Emperor, without hesitation..."

"My Yuezhi Kingdom is also willing!"

"Very well said, our thirty-six Western Regions nations lack a leader. The Loulan ruler pays respects to the suzerain here!"

"The Qiuci ruler pays respects to the suzerain!"

The Western Regions rulers left their seats one after another, kowtowing respectfully to Qin Mu together.

Seeing this scene, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Leader of the thirty-six Western Regions nations?

Isn't this the status the Emperor has been dreaming of?

How ironic!

The Emperor went through all kinds of hardships, sending women and money, only to end up with the empty name of 'Ten Thousand Nations' tribute.

Qin Mu, however, without any effort, made these people voluntarily worship him as their leader.

Emperor...

Perhaps we are all old?

"Since that is the case, then I shall reluctantly accept, as respect is better than obedience."

Qin Mu stood up somewhat helplessly, as if it were very difficult to accept.

"Pfft!"

Changle, who was next to him, saw that Qin Mu was acting and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Brother-in-law!

You really know how to play!

After the banquet.

The great hall was empty.

Only Qin Mu, Empress Zhangsun, Li Xueyan, and Changle remained.

"Brother-in-law, you are truly amazing! With just a few words, you became the leader of the thirty-six Western Regions nations, and they all bow to you; you are much more capable than my father!" Seeing that there was no one left in the hall, Changle began to let loose.

Her dark, bright eyes were full of admiration for Qin Mu.

"Hehe 5.0!"

"That goes without saying, especially that Jingjue Kingdom. Perhaps your brother-in-law is feeling quite tempted right now!"

Li Xueyan pouted, full of jealousy, and said unhappily.

When the banquet ended.

The Queen of Jingjue hadn't forgotten to throw a flirtatious glance at Qin Mu.

Li Xueyan was almost driven mad with anger!

"Cough, cough!"

"If being excellent is a crime, perhaps I should have been sliced a thousand times already?"

Qin Mu shrugged, adding a touch of humor.

"You!"

Li Xueyan bit her red lips, her face flushed with anger.

Seeing her appearance, Qin Mu could only sigh in his heart.
