In the Imperial Horse Cuju Field of the Great Tang Imperial Palace.
A new Cuju game was being held among the nobles of the Tang Empire.
The Tang Empire was prosperous, and its economy and culture were flourishing. The nobles enjoyed playing Cuju, horse racing, fencing, and other activities.
"The ball went in, I won!"
A ball was shot into the door frame.
In the middle of the Cuju field, a young man dressed in a slim white man's suit untied the red ribbon on his forehead. His black hair fell to his waist like a waterfall, revealing his stunning appearance.
The afternoon sun shone on the woman's fair skin, which was as white as ivory. Her crescent-shaped smile spread out in the light, causing the nobles to be stunned.
"Changle, your Cuju skills are getting better and better. Even Brother Wang lost.”
Li Chengqian, who was dressed in royal robes, clapped his hands and said,"
"Besides, you have to restrain your charm. Otherwise, if we play Cuju with you in the future, we won't even have the strength to fight.”
After Li Chengqian praised Li Lizhi, all the kings and nobles began to praise Li Lizhi.
At this moment, the Great Tang Conference ended, and a eunuch came from the palace to report that the Great Tang and Great Qin were engaged in marriage.
After hearing this news, everyone was shocked.
"Preposterous! Changle is the most beloved princess of the Great Tang, how could she be sent to the Great Qin Empire for a marriage alliance? Moreover, she was marrying the person ranked last on the Noble Roll.”
Many nobles were indignant.
Although Li Chengqian, Li Zhi, and the other kings didn't speak, they frowned deeply.
"Changle, what do you think?" Li Chengqian and Li Zhi looked at their sister, Li Lizhi.
The three of them were all born by Empress Zhangsun and had deep feelings for their sister, Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi took a deep breath. There was no resistance on her face. She revealed a beautiful smile and said to the eunuch who sent the news,
"Please report to Father that I, Changle, am willing to marry into the Great Qin Dynasty and marry the ninth son of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Che!”
"Changle, are you really willing to marry Great Qin?”After the eunuch left, Li Chengqian asked in confusion.
"As a member of the Great Tang Imperial Family, each has his own responsibilities.”
Li Lizhi gently nodded her head and said softly,""The Turks have been a disease of the Great Tang for many years, invading our borders and causing countless people to suffer.”
"If my marriage to Great Qin can help the Great Tang resolve the Turkic border crisis, what's wrong with that?”
"Even if I don't marry into Great Qin, wouldn't I still choose a noble family and be married off? What's the difference?"
"How can the Great Qin Empire compare to the Great Tang Empire? The Great Tang Empire has the rule of Zhenguan, and the four seas are peaceful and prosperous.”Li Chengqian said proudly.
"Although the Great Qin's economy is not as strong as the Great Tang's, its strength stands at the peak of the other countries. It has Li Si, Lord Changping, Wei Liao, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, the Xiongnu in the north, and the Yue in the south.”
Li Lizhi tied up her hair and smiled."If Great Qin was not strong, why would Imperial Father send me to marry Great Qin? Why would they form an alliance with Great Qin?"
"Big Brother, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I'm willing to be sent to Great Qin for a marriage alliance!”
Li Chengqian and Li Zhi were silent and sighed,""Changle, even so, I can't let you marry the Great Qin's Ninth Young Master, Ying Che!”
"Ying Che is ranked last on the Noble Roll. Other than his status, how can he be worthy of you?”
"Great Qin's Ninth Young Master, Ying Che, is ranked last on the Noble Ranking, but he's the most talented person in Great Qin, so he shouldn't be inferior.”Li Lizhi argued.
"The most talented person in Great Qin?" Li Chengqian laughed repeatedly.
"If he really is the most talented person in Great Qin, why haven't the other countries heard of him? If it wasn't for the Noble Ranking, even the people of Great Qin might not have heard of this young master.”
"Brothers, there's no need to persuade me. I'm willing to go for the marriage.”
"If the Ninth Young Master of the Great Qin Empire is untalented and is willing to treat me well, Lizhi is willing to marry him.”
Li Lizhi gave everyone a lively and bright smile, then turned around and left.
When she heard that her father, Li Shiming, was going to marry Ying Che, she did not have any objections. However, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
That young girl did not yearn for love and did not want her husband to be the most talented person in the world.
..........
Several days later.
The letter of the Great Tang Empire was delivered to the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, and the two countries negotiated the details of the alliance.
Ying Che had been ordered by the Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, to follow the thousand-man alliance envoy to the Great Tang.
50 miles outside Xianyang City.
The Eldest Young Master Fu Su personally sent Ying Che off.
"If it weren't for my engagement, I would have shouldered this heavy responsibility. Now, I'll have to trouble you, Ninth Brother.”
Fu Su patted Ying Che's shoulder and said in a deep voice,"
"The other kingdoms are already aware of the alliance between Great Qin and Great Tang, so they will probably try to stop us.
The Tang Empire and the Great Sui Empire have been at odds for a long time. It is not easy to see the Qin and Tang Empire form an alliance. On your way to the Tang Empire, you will pass by the border of the Great Sui Empire, and the Great Sui Empire may stop you.”
Ying Che knew that Fu Su was genuinely concerned, so he said,"
"Don't worry, Big Brother Fusu. Imperial Father is very clear about the situation of the various countries. He has already made arrangements and won't let me take any risks easily.”
"That's good, but ninth brother must take care!”
Ying Che and Fusu drank a farewell toast before following the marriage convoy back to the Great Tang.
