Chapter 1080: 1002 smart people

“Have we entered the Dahua Empire already?” As the train passed the border of Qin Country, Ying Yue, who sat in the carriage, pulled back the curtain on the window and looked out at the yellow earth.

The landscape here was somewhat similar to Northern Shaanxi, with fewer cultivated fields, looking bare and yellowish, yet not quite like a Gobi desert; it could still sustain some people’s lives.

“Yes, Princess. If we continue forward, we will soon reach Shahun City.” The maid nodded and answered her master’s question: “We have now entered the territory of the Dahua Empire.”

The train they were on was lengthy, carrying approximately the size of two battalions of security troops. These men were meticulously selected from the Imperial Guards of Qin Country because they were entrusted with the care of truly important things.

A princess of Qin Country, and not just any princess, but one preparing for a diplomatic marriage. Plus an entire ton of gold, and ten tons of silver! In addition, there were many other valuable items; the entire train looked like a moving treasury.

“Phew! Finally, I don’t have to pretend anymore.” Ying Yue exhaled, let the curtain fall back down, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

These past few days had been tormenting for her as she had to feign reluctance, and yet could not overact to attract the attention of her father, Ying Duo.

“Princess?” Seeing her master suddenly change expression, the maid, not quite catching up, was a bit bewildered.

“It’s nothing. Just relaxing a bit.” Ying Yue regained her composure, but the woodenness and dullness had vanished, and she took on an entirely different demeanor.

A demeanor… like that of someone eager and relaxed on a trip.

She had long wanted to visit the Tang Empire and was quite interested in Tang Mo, the Emperor of the Tang Empire. Compared to those princes—potential fiancés who somewhat repulsed her—she felt a young emperor better suited her taste.

With the rise of the Tang Empire, Ying Yue had been secretly collecting information about the Tang Empire and its Emperor. Each piece of news increased her curiosity about the Tang Country and made her yearn even more for the distant Tang Empire.

Distance creates enchantment, and the distant target was indeed spectacularly beautiful: one didn’t even have to deliberately investigate; even the newspapers of Qin Country were evidence of the growing influence of the Tang Empire.

This was no joking matter; even on the newspapers of Qin Country, they couldn’t avoid repeatedly mentioning the Tang Empire’s advanced and powerful aspects.

Ying Yue saw advertisements and black-and-white photos of fashionable clothes from the Tang Empire in the newspaper, and even through the text, she could sense the beauty and prosperity of the Tang Empire.

It was hard for her to imagine that the Emperor of the Tang Empire, whom she had never met, could have such high accomplishment in the arts: she heard that many popular songs around the world originated as simple hums from the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire.

Apart from that, he was also known as the godfather of fashion design, a deity in the realm of technology, a forefather in education, and a guiding light in the culinary world.

Before Tang Mo appeared, there was no one in the world who could display such an extraordinary dominance across so many fields.

Tang Mo was not just the Emperor of the Tang Empire; he was the uncrowned king of many domains. Countless people worshipped him like a deity, even turning this living man into a sort of faith.

This was not sensationalism, for it was a reality unfolding: because of his contributions to medicine, Tang Mo had effectively extended the average lifespan of people on this planet by more than a decade—such achievements are beyond sacred descriptions.

Of course, it is both amusing and frustrating that while benefiting the world, the Emperor had also propelled the world’s military technology to an unprecedented level.

In the last twenty years, the efficiency of killing in the world had increased by more than a hundredfold. It is difficult to evaluate the “contributions” that the Great Tang Group has made to slaughter, as the number of wars erupted in the last twenty years surpasses the total number seen in the previous century combined.

Additionally, this intriguing man is also the wealthiest in the world, possessing the greatest fortune on the planet, and controls the economic lifelines of many nations. His speed of earning money even surpasses the speed of spending it.

No woman would be uninterested in such a mysterious, powerful, and wealthy man, and Ying Yue was no exception. What is most reassuring is that he also has several children, which at least proves he is satisfactory in certain aspects, right?

The only disappointing thing is that such an almost perfect man has three wives. Although this may not seem like much considering their statuses, it still bothers people.

His three wives are no pushovers either: one is said to be in charge of the police and internal affairs, wielding great power; another manages his fortune, and can be seen as the housekeeper; the last one controls entertainment and public opinion, and although she seems harmless, she should not be underestimated.

Thinking about these things fills Ying Yue with fighting spirit; she believes she should perform better than these Imperial Concubines of the Great Tang Empire.

Since the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire is willing to share his power with his wives, Ying Yue is confident that she will be able to control a part of it in the future.

As long as she can show her capable and intelligent side when she gets to control that part of the power, she will be able to secure her position in the future imperial harem.

Nangong Hong had thought of it, and so had Ying Yue. She feels certain that she can be the representative of the Hua Clan circle, becoming the hope of countless Hua Clans.

In this respect, she has more advantages than those women from Brunas. As long as she avoids foolish mistakes, she will surely be favored.

With the support of foreign ministers, and armed with her beauty and wisdom, she, the future Imperial Concubine of the Great Tang Empire, is bound to succeed.

“From today on, do not address me as Princess anymore,” Ying Yue said suddenly, for some unknown reason: “You must always remind me, I am a Tang person now.”

Aren’t we People of Qin? Hearing Ying Yue’s words, the maid by her side seemed perplexed. She didn’t know how to respond or why her mistress would say that.

“You and I, from this moment on, must consider ourselves as Tang People, not People of Qin. This is the foundation of our security and existence, never to be forgotten,” Ying Yue explained.

“I will only explain this once, if you can’t grasp it, I will find another servant,” she said, glancing at the maid who had been with her for many years, then sighed and continued: “In Tang Country, there are only Tang People, only the women of the Emperor of Tang can survive…”

And one thing she did not say out loud: Do you think the gold and silver on this train is my dowry? No! Fool! The entire Hua Clan, or rather the whole Qin Country, is my dowry!

As the first woman on the Western Continent to become an Imperial Concubine of the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, would she not be setting her sights too low if she continued to see herself as the Princess of Qin Country? Her aim is to be the future Empress of the Great Tang Empire, and her children… should be the future Emperors of the entire Western Continent!

The train keeps moving forward, and behind this train follows another. On the second train are the 2000 soldiers accompanying the dowry of the Princess of Qin Country.

According to Qin Country, the relatives of these soldiers will also be sent to the Great Tang Empire later on. As part of the Princess’s dowry, their status naturally becomes the “property” of Tang Country.

All regions of the Dahua Empire the trains pass through are incredibly tense, knowing that they are carrying the Qin Country Princess who is entering into a marriage alliance, and aware that she is accompanied by a full 3000 elite Qin soldiers.

They are concerned not only for the safety of the Qin Country Princess, fearing any issues that might arise in their jurisdiction, but also worried that Qin spies might be on the train, detecting the weaknesses and lax defenses of the Dahua Empire’s western border.

The Dahua Empire has moved quite a few troops from the western front to stabilize the situation on the eastern front. If Qin Country learns of this, it might stir up some irreparable trouble.
