"You've seen them?" Yun Shang stared at Luo Qingyan and asked, "What did they say?"
Seeing Yun Shang's eager expression, Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing. "The Tianxiang continent indeed has five countries, as the princess of the State of Youyue said. However, the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai are the two largest countries, and the remaining three are their subordinate countries."
"Subordinate countries?" Yun Shang was confused.
Luo Qingyan nodded, "The emperors of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai are both powerful, and the two countries have a very close relationship. In the past twenty years, they have almost been working together to start all kinds of wars, finally taking over all the three countries around them."
"However, the three countries were originally independent countries, and they had a ruling system that was only suitable for their own countries. If they changed their ruling system rashly, it would cause a riot. Therefore, the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai did not directly include them in their territory, but took them as their subordinate countries."
Yun Shang frowned slightly. "No wonder Princess Ming Yue only mentioned the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai, but not the other three countries."
"If the emperors of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai are both so powerful, then they came to the State of Xia..."
Luo Qingyan knew what Yun Shang wanted to ask. He smiled and said, "It's uncertain whether they are going to attack us or not. But they don't know our situation now. Besides, we live across the sea from them. Even if they have such an idea, they won't wage a war against us in the short term. "
Yun Shang nodded and raised her head slightly. "No wonder they want to put the women they brought into the imperial household of the State of Xia. They must have two purposes."
"Two purposes?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Shang with a smile.
Yun Shang nodded again, "On the one hand, we want to pry into things about the court of the State of Xia so that we can know us better. On the other hand, because I'm the princess of the State of Ning, the State of Xia and the State of Ning are now very close. The situation is somewhat similar to that of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai. "
"If we join hands with the State of Ning, it won't be easy for the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai to win us, even though they are very powerful. The best way for them is to destroy the relationship between us and the State of Ning. "
"If you want to destroy our relationship with the State of Ning, they will certainly start with me. After all, the friendship between our two countries is maintained because of me. If anything happens to me, the relationship between the State of Xia and the State of Ning will be in jeopardy. "
Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang with a smile, "Your majesty is right, so we can't be tricked by others. We can't let the women of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai have the slightest possibility to enter the imperial household of the State of Xia."
Yun Shang certainly sensed the ridicule in Luo Qingyan's words. She only glanced at Luo Qingyan and snorted, "Your Majesty, it's best that you know this. I hope you can remember what you said today. If you violate it, I will not spare you."
"Yes, yes."
Luo Qingyan smiled and stopped making fun of Yun Shang. He continued, "It's impossible for the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai to start a war in a short time, but we have to guard against them."
