Chapter 90 The Three Princesses

As the morning light breaks, the Qiandu Palace is gently covered by the golden sunlight.

The layers of palaces appear even more solemn and glorious against the backdrop of the morning glow.

However, amidst this splendor, a gloomy atmosphere quietly permeated.

The Daqian Emperor Si Xiaofei sat upright on the dragon throne, his face serious, his eyes deep, and there was a heavy stone pressing on his heart, as if he was hiding thousands of worries.

Below him stood many court officials and the numerous descendants of the Si family of the Daqian royal family.

"call!"

"My dear ministers, I have called you all together today because I have something of vital importance to discuss with you."

Si Xiaofei's voice was majestic, steady and powerful, but the worry in it was difficult to conceal.

The court officials immediately took things seriously. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out.

At this moment, the palace was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the emperor's heavy breathing.

"I intend to form a marriage alliance with the two states in the East to appease their hearts."

Si Xiaofei's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing a huge uproar.

The eyes of the court officials instantly focused on the emperor, their eyes filled with shock and relief.

"This... Your Majesty, the matter of marriage is of great importance. Do you need to reconsider it?"

A minister asked cautiously.

"I understand that this is indeed a risky move. But now my country is facing internal and external troubles. Outside, the Taiping Sect and the Yellow Turban bandits are wreaking havoc, and inside, those traitors are secretly plotting. Under the current situation, my country is already threatened."

"Therefore, the two states of the East must not allow any more accidents to happen, at least not in the short term!"

"Therefore, although I intend to appease them, I also know that I cannot show weakness. Marriage may give Daqian a glimmer of hope."

Si Xiaofei's words revealed helplessness and determination.

God knows why Daqian, which was so prosperous not long ago, is now in chaos.

Why was there suddenly war everywhere in such a short period of time!

After Si Xiaofei finished speaking, the court fell silent again. The ministers looked at each other, their hearts surging with emotion.

"I intend to form a marriage alliance with the two states in the East to appease their hearts."

"But this matter is of great importance. We must select the elite of our royal family to go there."

"Now in the Daqian imperial family, I have three princesses of the right age, all of whom are talented and have their own strengths."

The emperor's gaze wandered among the court officials, and finally stopped on the three princesses at the bottom, each with their own unique demeanor.

The second princess, Si Luoying, was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic, with an extraordinary aura between her sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

The fourth princess, Si Luoshi, is as gentle as water, well-read, and has a gleam of intelligence in her eyes.

The Sixth Princess Si Luoqing was aloof and cold. She once studied under the Taoist leader and had mastered martial arts.

As princesses of the Daqian Dynasty, one of the five great dynasties on the Tianwu Continent, they have received the world's best education since childhood.

The second princess likes military uniforms?
Then Si Xiaofei invited several great military strategists to Qiandu and taught them the art of military strategy carefully.

The fourth princess likes reading?
Si Xiaofei then invited several great Confucian scholars and built a small pavilion of books for him, which contained thousands of classics.

There is also the Sixth Princess. She likes the martial arts world, so Si Xiaofei sends her to Taoism and asks the Taoist leader to accept her as a disciple.

It can be said that Si Xiaofei's treatment of the three princesses was impeccable.

There was no prejudice against them because of their female status.

Instead, they devoted all their efforts to train them into talents.

Suddenly, a clear and firm voice broke the silence.

When everyone looked over, they saw the heroic Second Princess Si Luoying stepping forward: "Your Majesty, your daughter is willing to go." Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if no difficulties could shake her determination.

The second princess Si Luoying has an extraordinary temperament between her sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

This is not only due to her noble royal bloodline, but also because of the bravery and wisdom she gained in military experience.

Her eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could see through all hypocrisy and lies, making people dare not be negligent in the slightest.

She possesses the dignity and majesty of a royal family as well as the courage and perseverance of a warrior.

This unique blend of temperament makes her stand out from the crowd and unforgettable.

"Although my martial arts skills are limited, I will do my best to complete the mission."

The second princess Si Luoying knelt on the ground with a firm tone.

The fourth princess Luo Shi followed closely and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is well-read. If we are lucky enough to marry into the two states of the East, I will definitely use my talents to stabilize the country."

Her words were sincere, revealing her deep affection for the country.

"I also intend to go."

A cold voice came from the corner. When everyone looked, it was the Sixth Princess Luo Qing who stood apart from the others. She had been a Taoist since she was young and had great martial arts skills, but she rarely showed them in front of others.

Her expression of wish at this moment surprised everyone.

Looking at the three young princesses below him, a trace of guilt flashed in Si Xiaofei's eyes.

But it quickly disappeared.

Since ancient times, there has been little family affection in the royal family.

As the ruler of an imperial dynasty, he had many concubines and naturally many children.

He has some affection for his offspring, but not much.

Not to mention comparing it with the country and people of Daqian.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over the princes and ministers, and slowly said: "The three princesses are so responsible, it is a blessing for our Daqian. I have decided that the second princess, the fourth princess, and the sixth princess will lead 3,000 elite soldiers to go to the two states of the East immediately to carry out the marriage mission."

"Princess Si Luoying, you are highly skilled in martial arts and have extraordinary courage. I order you to be the vanguard officer and lead a group of elite soldiers to the East."

Si Luoying felt relieved at her father's decision, but she soon bowed and accepted the order.

"Fourth Princess Luo Shi, you are intelligent and well-read. I need your help in communicating with the princes for this marriage. I order you to be the envoy and accompany me."

There was a gleam of determination in Si Luoshi's eyes. She was well aware of the heavy responsibility she shouldered.

But I also know my future destiny.

After this trip, I may never have the chance to set foot in Qiandu again.

The sadness in Si Luoshi's eyes flashed away, but the smile on her face still carried a hint of tenderness and kindness, as if it was a spring breeze blowing on one's face, making one feel warm.

"Sixth Princess Si Luoqing, you once studied under the Taoist leader and your martial arts skills are extraordinary."

"You are needed to protect the safety of everyone in this marriage. I order you to be the chief guard and lead all the masters of the Jianghu offerings in the Worship Hall to go together."

There was not much emotion in Si Luoqing's eyes, he just accepted the task silently.

There was a sense of pride and independence in her eyes, as if she was out of touch with the world; her movements revealed an elegance and calmness, as if everything was under her control.

She was sent to Taoism to learn skills when she was young.

I also have the least feeling about the Daqian Dynasty.

But now her identity, martial arts, and everything about her body belong to the Daqian Dynasty and were given to her by her father, Emperor Si Xiaofei.

In that case, I will repay you with this body!
