What she cared about the most was the expansion of the army. Only a strong army could strengthen the country. If she wanted to gain a foothold on the Great Plains of Qiuge, it would take more than a few experts.
"This …" The maidservant was a little hesitant.
"Is there a problem?" Su Hanxiang asked curiously.
"Princess, the Fifth Prince didn't bring a single soldier, but he brought a handsome young master with him … It is said that he is an influential person in the Cloud Herder Royal Tribe," the maid said.
"Young master?
Cloud Herder Royal Tribe! "Su Hanxiang was surprised.
She was currently recruiting troops and buying horses, preparing to go all out against the Pillar Mountain Imperial Division. Why didn't Fifth Brother bring his troops to help, but instead brought a young master here?
She was quite familiar with the Cloud Herder Royal Tribe. Because it was a neighbor of the Miyue Imperial Tribe, it was located to the south of the Great Plains of Qiuge.
Among the Nine Great Imperial Tribes, the Cloud Herder Royal Tribe was also a brave and good fighter. It might not be as strong as the Pillar Royal Tribe, but it wasn't too far off.
Su Hanxiang was puzzled, but she didn't stop walking. Soon, she arrived at the meeting hall outside.
There was already a group of people sitting in the meeting hall. The one who was greeting the guests was the Third Imperial Uncle, Su Hongye.
Obviously, Su Hongye came first after knowing that Su Zhangjin was coming.
However, as soon as Su Hanxiang stepped into the hall, she noticed that her Third Imperial Uncle's expression wasn't too good.
"Your Highness."
"Hanxiang."
…
When the people in the hall saw Su Hanxiang, they all stood up.
In the past, Su Hanxiang was only a princess of the Imperial Family. She had a high status but not much power. However, things were different now. She was the master of Qiuge City, the most powerful force in the Miyue Imperial Tribe.
"Hanxiang, I am relieved to see that you are fine.
Among all the siblings, you are the one that Imperial Father cares about the most. "
The Fifth Prince, Su Hanxiang, enthusiastically stepped forward and inquired about her well-being, showing that he was very close to Su Hanxiang.
However, Su Hanxiang was not as familiar with him as she was with the Fifth Prince. This was because she was not very close to Su Zhangjin among the many princes. They were even somewhat unfamiliar, and they would only see each other a few times throughout the year.
"Fifth Imperial Brother, Hanxiang is also very happy that you could come."
Su Hanxiang said with a slight smile. She was being polite with Su Zhangjin, but her attention was on another group of people.
There were six or seven people in that group, and they were actually sitting on the right side of the main seat. His Imperial Brother, Su Zhangjin, was sitting on the second seat.
What Su Hanxiang did not expect was that she actually knew the white-clothed youth who was leading them. It was the youth who had previously told her about Tian Dongxing's background in Shui Xiang Palace.
This person's attire was no different from before. He was dressed in white and held an ink folding fan in his hand. He had a rather frivolous temperament.
"Miss Su, we meet again."
The white-clothed youth stood up and bowed slightly to Su Hanxiang.
"Indeed, it's not the first time we meet," Su Hanxiang said indifferently.
Su Zhangjin patted his head. "Hey!
Look at me, I was so engrossed in catching up that I actually forgot to introduce the honored guest.
Little Sister Hanxiang, this handsome young master in front of you has a great background.
He is the current crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division, Shi Yuanxuan.
“
Su Hanxiang naturally knew that this white-clothed youth's background was not ordinary, but she hadn't expected that he would be the current crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division.
With such a status, he was indeed a heavyweight.
But why would a crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division come to find her?
Su Hanxiang's eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Let me introduce myself again. This humble one is Shi Yuanxuan, and I pay my respects to Princess Hanxiang." Shi Yuanxuan was refined and courteous as he introduced himself once again.
"Originally, it was the Crown Prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division who honored me with his presence. Sorry for not going out to meet you," Su Hanxiang said indifferently.
As the crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division, he surprisingly asked her fifth brother Su Zhangjin to introduce him. She didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Princess Hanxiang, this time, I have come to discuss a matter with you," Shi Yuanxuan said.
"Oh!
I would like to hear the details. "
Su Hanxiang said indifferently. She knew that the main topic had arrived.
As the crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division, he had to have a motive for personally visiting her. Could it be that he also wanted to encroach on Castle Lake City?
Nowadays, more and more powers were eyeing Castle Lake City, so it was normal for Cloud Herder Royal Division to have such thoughts.
But what Su Hanxiang hadn't expected was that Shi Yuanxuan's motive would catch her off guard.
"Your Highness, that day when we met by chance at Water Lake Palace, I have firmly engraved your figure in my mind and haven't been able to forget it for a long time.
I had heard that princess's beauty was world-shaking, but at first I didn't believe it. But now that I have seen you, I am completely convinced.
Therefore, Yuan Xuan's purpose in coming here is, first, to express his admiration for Her Highness, and second, to tie the knot with Her Highness. Yan Yue and Yunmu cultivating the Qin Jin Dynasty together is also a great name in the world. "
Shi Yuanxuan bowed deeply to Su Hanxiang with a sincere expression on his face.
Because of Shi Yuanxuan's words, the entire hall quieted down. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
No one had expected that the crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division would come here for a marriage alliance with Princess Hanxiang.
Su Hanxiang frowned deeply. Her expression was somewhat cold as she looked at Shi Yuanxuan without saying anything for a long time.
She had originally thought that Shi Yuanxuan's visit had something to do with Castle Lake City, but she hadn't expected that he would make such a move. It seemed like his motive wasn't limited to this.
"Haha, Younger Sister Hanxiang, this is a joyous occasion. You and the crown prince are a match made in heaven, so you should quickly agree to his proposal.
With the cooperation of Cloud Herder Royal Division and Miyue Imperial Tribe, we won't need to fear Pillar Mountain Imperial Tribe in the future. "
Fifth Prince Su Zhangjin laughed heartily and praised her. His expression made it seem as if he couldn't wait to tie up Su Hanxiang and marry Shi Yuanxuan.
"Your Highness Fifth Prince, please pay attention to your words and actions. Shi Yuanxuan is the crown prince of Cloud Herder Royal Division, not the crown prince of our Miyue Imperial Tribe. As a prince of the Miyue Imperial Tribe, you should have self-respect and self-respect. Don't disgrace the dignity of our Miyue Imperial Tribe."
Sangfroid King said coldly. In front of everyone, he kept calling him 'crown prince', trying to flatter him without the slightest bit of backbone of Yan Yue. He was simply a disgrace.
"Third Imperial Uncle, what do you mean!
Do you think I need you to teach me how to do things?
Please have some self-awareness. In front of the crown prince and Sister Hanxiang, it's not your turn to speak. "
Fifth Prince Su Zhangjin coldly snorted. If it was in the past, he would have been somewhat afraid of Sangfroid King. But now, he was just a prince of a fallen country. His life was in danger, and he, the Fifth Prince, had already climbed up the big tree of Cloud Herder Crown Prince. In the future, he was destined to inherit the throne of the Miyue Imperial Tribe. How could he put Sangfroid King in his eyes?
"Idiot who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Sangfroid King was so angry that his whole body trembled. He pointed at Su Zhangjin, wishing he could slap him to death.
Su Hanxiang's eyes also turned cold. Not to mention that Su Zhangjin didn't have any backbone, he was actually so stupid. Could it be that he really thought he could benefit from hanging out with Shi Yuanxuan?
"My apologies, Crown Prince Shi. Our Miyue Imperial Tribe is still in danger. Hanxiang doesn't have the heart to think about marriage.
If Crown Prince Shi is here only for this matter, then please leave. "
Su Hanxiang said indifferently and directly asked him to leave.
"Princess Hanxiang, this Crown Prince is sincere and sincere. Heaven and earth can be my witness. Why can't you give me a chance?
Moreover, it is precisely because the Miyue Imperial Tribe is in danger that we need external help.
Our Cloud Herder Royal Tribe and the Miyue Imperial Tribe are neighbors.
If we send reinforcements, it will only take half a month for our army to reach the Great Plains of Qiugeya.
"However, if we send reinforcements, we must have a good reason. Otherwise, if we casually lead our army into the Great Plains of Qiugeya, we will be no different from the Pillar Mountain Royal Tribe. We will have a bad reputation.
"Only when Princess Hanxiang marries this Crown Prince and becomes in-laws can our Cloud Herder Royal Tribe legitimately step forward to help."
Shi Yuanxuan's meaning was clear. Only when Princess Hanxiang marries this Crown Prince would the Cloud Herder Royal Tribe help the Miyue Imperial Tribe. Otherwise, not only would they not help, but they would also play tricks in the dark.
"Are you threatening this Princess?"
Su Hanxiang said indifferently. A terrifying cold killing intent erupted from her body and locked onto Shi Yuanxuan.
Shi Yuanxuan was shocked. He did not expect that a girl like Su Hanxiang would have such a cold killing intent.
Shrouded in the shadow of the cold killing intent, Shi Yuanxuan felt a chill run down his spine and his body trembled slightly.
No matter what, Su Hanxiang was a quasi-heavenly king while Shi Yuanxuan's talent in cultivation was only average.
"How dare you!"
An old man behind Shi Yuanxuan snorted softly, and a gust of Qi swept out, directly breaking Su Hanxiang's pressure.
Su Hanxiang's body swayed as she was engulfed by the old man's aura. Her own aura was broken and she was slightly injured.
However, she endured the pain and did not take a step back. Instead, she looked at Shi Yuanxuan coldly.
"Don't be rude."
Shi Yuanxuan's expression changed slightly. He quickly stood in front of the old man. He was here to propose a marriage, not to start a conflict.
"Prince Shi, please go back. The Miyue Imperial Tribe will not marry off our Princess in exchange for peace and stability. There has never been such a precedent since ancient times.
No matter how difficult the times are, we will rely on our own strength to overcome them. "
Majesty Kang stood in front of Su Hanxiang and emitted a faint pressure to protect her.
Although Majesty Kang did not defeat Su Hanxiang's father in the fight for the throne, he was also a famous genius in cultivation. He was now at the level of a Heavenly King.
Shi Yuanxuan's expression was cold. He did not expect the people of the Miyue Imperial Tribe to be so difficult to deal with. They were like stones in a latrine pit, smelly and hard. The Miyue Imperial Tribe had already declined to such a state and was on the verge of destruction. Yet, they still cared about dignity and integrity.
"Sister Hanxiang, what are you doing?
The Crown Prince is here to help the Miyue Imperial Tribe. Even if you don't welcome him, you can't be so rude.
This matter concerns the fate and future of the Miyue Imperial Tribe. This matter is of great importance. We cannot let you make the decision.
Father is not here now. Brother is like a father. I will now betroth you to the Crown Prince of the Cloud Herder Imperial Tribe. I will not change my mind. "
Su Zhangjin saw that Su Hanxiang's attitude was so firm that there was no room for negotiation. He finally panicked.
