Huh?
Yun Shang squinted at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan knew what Yun Shang meant from her eyes.
Luo Qingyan looked down and smiled, feeling very happy.
"What I'm most worried about is whether the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai plan to declare a war aganist us" Luo Qingyan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "The war between us and the State of Yelang is not over yet. If the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai start a war against us again, I'm afraid we will have a hard time."
"So, your majesty intends to sacrifice yourself to accept the three princesses?" Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "Your majesty is really willing to sacrifice yourself for this country. In order not to fight, you even came up with a way of marriage alliance?"
Luo Qingyan wanted to laugh again, but he asked in confusion, "Why should I sacrifice myself for a marriage alliance?"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Shang sneered and turned her head to the other side without saying anything.
"Who says that I will marry them?" Luo Qingyan clicked his tongue and said, "There are so many talented people in the State of Xia. If the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai want to marry their princesses into the State of Xia, we can arrange for someone to marry them."
"Nowadays, most officials in the court are not very old, and many of them are unmarried."
Yun Shang finally understood what Luo Qingyan meant. She blinked and said, "But they are the princesses of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai..."
"So what?" Luo Qingyan smiled. "Even if these three princesses live in their own country, they can only marry courtiers or masters from noble families."
Yun Shang blinked her eyes, feeling that something was wrong, but she also felt that Luo Qingyan's words made sense.
"But I'm afraid those princesses don't come to the State of Xia to find a courtier or someone from a noble clan to marry, do they?"
"Then who do they want? Me?" Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang casually and said, "As you said just now, the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai are separated by a vast sea. Several generations ago, due to the lack of advanced ship building technology, we didn't even know if there were people over there."
"A few decades ago, more and more people began to cross the sea from the other side of the sea to do some business. We also gradually have some people to go there."
"But we still know little about the State of Youyue and the State of Yihaii." Luo Qingyan sat up a little straight and said, "A few days ago, when I knew there were these two countries, I went to the Imperial Library and rummaged through it. I only found a few books that mentioned these countries. But those words are not enough for me to know too much about these two countries. "
"For me, for the State of Xia, and even for the other countries on our continent, the countries on the other side of the sea are all unstable factors. I even don't think it's appropriate for our courtiers to marry them. The best choice is to marry them to some young men from noble clans, which has no much impact on the state. "
Luo Qingyan thought for a while and said, "Although I don't have any brother at the right age in the royal family. But there are still some choices. "
Yun Shang smiled, "What if the princesses of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai don't agree?"
"I don't care. Anyway I don't really want a marriage alliance. "
Yun Shang lifted her eyelids and looked at Luo Qingyan, feeling a little relieved.
That was right. The marriage alliance was the idea of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai, not the State of Xia.
The State of Xia had a dominant position in this matter.
If they mentioned it, the State of Xia would select several suitable candidates for them to choose. They could marry the princesses to them if they wanted, and if they didn't want, they would just let it go.
But...
Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "I think those princesses have a crush on you and want to be your concubines."
