Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Great Wu Dynasty.

Green Cloud Palace.

Wu Junwan, dressed in a red palace attire, reclined on a couch, and as the years passed, her teperament became increasingly dignified and luxurious.

At this moment, as Wu Junwan looked at the red phoenix robe she was wearing, the image of the Yue Emperor's phoenix robe appeared in her mind. Just the thought of draping that phoenix robe over herself made her feel utterly contented.

Unfortunately, she couldn't wear such a phoenix robe yet.

At least, she had no opportunity to wear one for fifty years.

Just then, a maid entered the grand hall, "Princess Junwan, Mr. Chai requests an audience!"

Wu Junwan didn't rise from her couch. She said lazily, "Let him in."

After a while, the maid brought Chai Jiliang into the Green Cloud Palace.

Upon entering, Chai Jiliang instantly felt that the Green Cloud Palace had changed greatly from before. Red curtains had been added to the hall, allowing only faint glimpses of the figures within.

The Green Cloud Palace used to be without curtains, and he could directly see Wu Junwan whenever he came.

Chai Jiliang was somewhat puzzled. Why had Wu Junwan changed the Green Cloud Palace to look like this? What was the meaning of such a change?

Naturally, Chai Jiliang didn't understand the reason behind Wu Junwan's doings, but if there was an official from the Da Yue Dynasty present in the Green Cloud Palace, they would surely realize that the current arrangement of the palace was modeled after the Yue Emperor's sleeping quarters.

Then, Wu Junwan's languid voice came from behind the curtains, "Mr. Chai, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I am quite curious why Mr. Chai is in such a hurry for me to return to the capital."

"I don't believe Mr. Chai is unable to see that my Imperial Father intends to balance the court."

Chai Jiliang said, "Princess Junwan, I naturally understand His Majesty's thoughts, but the North Country is key to dividing Great Sum. So even if this may trigger His Majesty's displeasure, I believe we cannot allow others to claim this achievement." Enjoy tales on m-vle-mp _yr.

"His Majesty has always been focused on expansion. Once Great Sum falls into internal strife, it will present an opportunity for Great Wu to expand further. His Majesty will not let this chance slip by, and at that time, the territory of Great Wu will increase once more."

"The Princess must be well aware that in Great Wu, princes who achieve great military success in expanding the territory eventually become strong contenders for the throne."

"You, being a woman, have to acknowledge that there has never been a precedent for a woman to ascend to the supreme position in Great Wu. If you desire that position, you must indeed accrue far more achievements than the average prince. If you allow others to take credit for such important accomplishments, do you believe you still have a hope of reaching that position?"

"Furthermore, Zhuge Zhongguang has already broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm. Although the news is not yet confirmed, considering intelligence from various sources, it is very likely to be true."

"With the ambition of the North Prince, he probably doesn't want to remain in the impoverished corner of the North Country. The North Country might wage war against Great Sum at any time, meaning, whoever convinces the North Country to attack Great Sum and contributes to its division will have the credit fall onto their shoulders. This is an achievement that can be quickly realized.

Don't you intend to seize this opportunity?"

Upon hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Junwan was taken aback, her brows furrowed momentarily.

She suddenly felt that Chai Jiliang made a lot of sense. Indeed, though it wasn't yet confirmed if Zhuge Zhongguang truly had broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm, the recent provocations by the North Country's army of a hundred thousand at the border of Qi Country suggested that the North Country was prepared for war with Great Sum.

The confidence of the North Country indicated that they might truly have a Celestial warrior, giving the North Prince the audacity to act in such a manner.

The behavior of the North Prince also showed that he was probably no longer satisfied with his current position and coveted the throne of the Sum Emperor, hence his scheming to instigate war.

If at this time an envoy from Great Wu was sent to the North Country, able to incite the Sum Emperor or persuade the North Country to directly attack Great Sum, then the division of Great Sum would be at hand.

Once Great Sum divided, such tremendous credit would immediately fall upon the envoy of Great Wu sent to the North Country, a reward that could be reaped in the short term. Indeed, she shouldn't just cede it to her brothers.

With this in mind, Wu Junwan said, "Mr. Chai speaks of it lightly, but I don't believe my Imperial Father would assign me the task of an envoy to the North Country."

Chai Jiliang spoke indifferently, "Please rest assured, Princess. I will find a way to persuade His Majesty to let you take on the mission to the North Country."

Wu Junwan had recently quelled the southeastern rebellion in Great Wu. It was clear to any discerning observer that though she was a woman, the Martial Emperor regarded her highly; therefore, Chai Jiliang could use this fact as leverage.

To be an envoy to the North Country, one must show sincerity, naturally by sending someone of significant standing.

Nowadays, the Emperor's sons lacked luster and were of no use at all. They had failed to quell the southeastern rebellion even with the court's elite forces. Sending such people as envoys to the North Country would be an insult.

Wu Junwan was different. She had easily resolved the southeastern rebellion with the army, and as the Martial Emperor's long-established Princess Junwan, her importance was evident.

Since she received such attention and was such a significant figure in Great Wu, naturally, the responsibility of being an envoy to the North Country should be hers. Only in this way could they show the North Country that Great Wu was serious about establishing amicable relations.
