Empress Ling Shuang swept her gaze across the imperial court. Amidst the atmosphere of universal celebration over peace between the two nations, she slowly spoke: "Today, I have an important decision. To further cement the peaceful friendship between Daxia and the barbarian tribes, I decree a marriage alliance: Mei Yuxin and the Third Princess shall be wed to Li Rufeng. In this manner, Li Rufeng will be joined in marriage with the barbarian tribes while also sharing a deep mutual affection with Vice General Mei of our Daxia, making him a steadfast bridge connecting our two realms."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court instantly erupted.
Left Prime Minister Lin Zhengfeng stepped out first, cupping his hands in salute: "Your Majesty is wise! This is a strategy that achieves multiple goals. General Li shares deep bonds with both young ladies; granting this marriage honors their personal affections while reinforcing the relations between the two countries through kinship. Truly a brilliant move!"
