The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Lin Wanwan asked Bai Lian and Hua Yu to stay in Yunhai Kingdom, while she and Ye Lan returned to Princess An Ning's Mansion.

Lin Wanwan's figure showed a sense of fatigue from the journey.

Ye Lan stood aside respectfully and said to Ouyang Qingyu: "The princess is now the empress of Yunhai Kingdom."

Ouyang Qingyu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately thought of Hua Yu. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he asked:

"Why didn't Hua Yu come back?"

Lin Wanwan frowned slightly and said, "There are some things that Hua Yu still needs to deal with in Yunhai Country."

Ouyang Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Wanwan's eyes revealed a trace of worry, she turned her head and asked:

"Ouyang Qingyu, how is the battle between Lu Mu and Mu Han going?"

Ouyang Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "The casualties were small. I didn't let Lu Mu really fight, but retreated. Moreover, Mu Han didn't massacre the city. He seemed to be pressing towards Kyoto City."

At this moment, an eunuch came hurriedly. He bowed slightly and respectfully announced: "The queen has set up a private banquet. Please invite the princess to the palace tonight."

……

That night, the Xuanyue Kingdom's palace was brightly lit. Empress Liu Ruimei held a private banquet to welcome Lin Wanwan.

When Lin Wanwan appeared at the dinner party in gorgeous clothes with a cool and noble temperament, her return gradually dispelled the haze of war in everyone's hearts.

Queen Liu Ruimei sat on the main seat. She was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes and had exquisite makeup, but her eyes were flashing with a complex light.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall of the imperial palace was already slightly subtle due to the private banquet set up by Queen Liu Ruimei.

With Lin Xiaohe's entry, the reactions of the ministers were as if swept away by a gust of wind.

Almost at the same moment, they all put down the wine glasses and cutlery in their hands and stood up in unison, with no delay at all.

Then, all the ministers quickly knelt down and saluted: "Long live the emperor!"

Lin Xiaohe stood there, raised his hand slightly, and signaled everyone to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up one after another.

Then Lin Xiaohe's gaze immediately locked onto Lin Wanwan, a hint of relief and joy flashed in his eyes, and he walked forward.

Lin Xiaohe said with a smile, his smile was full of warmth: "An Ning, I heard that you are back, I will also come to join in the fun of this private banquet."

Queen Liu Ruimei slightly turned sideways, raised her hand gracefully, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Lin Xiaohe's eyes fell on the main seat that Liu Ruimei pointed to. He nodded slightly, took a step, and slowly walked towards the main seat.

Liu Ruimei smiled slightly, her eyes fell on Shen Yao and Chen Yueshi's father, with a barely perceptible hint in her eyes.

Shen Yao's father, Shen Bi, stepped forward first. He bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the princess's return is a blessing for Xuanyue Country. However, the current situation is complicated. I think the princess can go to Zijin Country to promote friendship between the two countries and seek greater benefits for Xuanyue Country."

Chen Yueshi's father, Chen Lanwen, also said, "I second the proposal. The princess is very intelligent. If she can go to Zijin Country, it will definitely bring new opportunities for the relationship between the two countries."

The important officials in the court were whispering to each other, some nodded slightly in agreement, some looked hesitant, and most of them looked at Ouyang Qingyu beside Lin Wanwan.

Ouyang Qingyu didn't say anything, just drank.

Liu Ruimei looked at Lin Wanwan and said with a smile: "Princess, the ministers are also thinking about the future of Xuanyue Country. What do you think?"

After saying that, Liu Ruimei raised her hand slightly, signaling the maid to pour a glass of wine. She gracefully picked up the wine glass and slowly walked down the steps, her steps light and dignified.

She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and the hem of her skirt fluttered gently with her movements, like a blooming flower.

When Liu Ruimei walked in front of Lin Wanwan, everyone's attention was instantly focused on the two of them.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity. They didn't know how Lin Wanwan would respond to the Queen's toast. After all, Lin Wanwan's personality was difficult to guess in the eyes of everyone.

Liu Ruimei raised her glass and said to Lin Wanwan with a smile, "Princess, this glass of wine is for you. I hope you can consider Xuanyue Country."

Even Lin Xiaohe frowned slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, wondering whether he should ask Liu Ruimei to come back.

Lin Wanwan said: "This princess will consider it."

After saying that, she took the glass of wine from Liu Ruimei and drank it all.

Lin Xiaohe, who was sitting on the high platform, had a smile on his face that was barely noticeable to others. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in front of him.

But Liu Ruimei did not go back, but stood in front of Lin Wanwan: "Then when will the princess leave?"

The ministers quickly exchanged glances, looking at Liu Ruimei with complicated expressions.

"Come to think of it, this war was also caused by the princess, wasn't it?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Liu Ruimei laughed softly again.

"You, the princess, don't want to see Xuanyue Country being occupied by the Zijin people, right?"

A look of displeasure immediately appeared on Lin Xiaohe's face, but because the other party was the queen, she did not say anything.

But she was also a little confused. Why did the queen, who was usually gentle and docile, say these words to Lin Wanwan today?

Lin Wanwan's eyes darkened as she looked at her quietly, then she asked, "What does it mean to occupy another country?"

Liu Ruimei was slightly startled, then said: "Conquer the city of another country."

Lin Wanwan shook her head slightly and said, "No, after it is conquered, it will be conquered again. It's just a matter of time."

At this time, Lin Xiaohe, who had been silent, could not help but speak up: "Then according to Princess An Ning's opinion, what should we do?"

Lin Wanwan's eyes fell on the wine in the glass, and she gradually calmed down, and then slowly spoke:

“Do you know that a frog at the bottom of a well can only see a tiny inch of sky above its head?

They thought that was the whole world, but they didn't know that the world outside was vast and boundless.

The same is true for humans. If we are trapped in narrow cognition and short-sightedness, we will be like frogs in a well, and will never be able to appreciate the true grandeur and magnificence. "

Liu Ruimei raised her chin slightly and chuckled:

"Heh... Then I'm very curious, what did the princess see?"

Lin Wanwan's eyes were deep, and her voice was like the sound of a jade plate falling on it:

"The war has already happened, so we must make it worthwhile."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruimei walked back to the main seat and signaled to Chen Yueshi and Shen Yao with her eyes.

Shen Yao immediately responded: "The princess means that you don't want to go to Zijin Country? Watching these people suffer in the war?"

Chen Yueshi chimed in, "It's no wonder. After all, if the princess goes to Zijin Country, who knows what kind of humiliation she will suffer."

Shen Yao continued: "After all, wars are raging nowadays, and it's not you, the princess, who will die."

Su Mingde, who was standing aside, had an anxious look on his face and was about to say something when Ouyang Qingyu, who was standing beside him, stopped him.

Su Mingde glanced at Ouyang Qingyu beside him, and saw an expression of watching a good show on his face, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Xiaohe, who was in a high position, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liu Ruimei meaningfully.

There was a barely perceptible nervousness on Liu Ruimei's face, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Lin Xiaohe then turned his gaze to his empty wine glass, as if looking for the answer in that transparent container.

Then, he quickly glanced at Lin Wanwan who was not far away, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Lin Wanwan did not raise her eyes to look at anyone, but raised her glass and said calmly:

“Death is not scary, especially for those who have died once. What is scary is the ties in this world that you are reluctant to let go of. The pain of war is the separation of life and death.

In ten years, you can see the coming and going of spring and autumn; in a hundred years, you can see birth, aging, sickness and death; in a thousand years, you can see the change of dynasties.

Only the sun and the moon illuminate the present and the past. In this long period of time, we are just a drop in the ocean.

However, it is those ties and emotions that give meaning to our lives. They fought bravely so that the next generation would not have to fight and would have a stable life.

We cannot just see the immediate interests and struggles, but should look to the broader future and work hard for those things that are truly worth protecting.

Only when the three kingdoms are united will there be fewer disputes in the future, and only when blood relations are close will everyone truly accept people from other countries. "

After hearing these words, everyone fell into deep thought.

There was a complex light flashing in Lin Xiaohe's eyes. As he looked at Lin Wanwan, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Lin Xiaohe said: "An Ning, there is no need to go to Zijin Country."

After these words were spoken, Liu Ruimei fell silent for an instant. She lowered her head and bit her lip, as if she was thinking about what Lin Xiaohe meant.

Chen Yueshi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what should we do if they attack us? I heard that they have already captured five cities."

Shen Yao was also extremely scared when he heard this and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, if we fight to Kyoto City...if the Purple Gold Country occupies Kyoto City..."

At this time, Lin Wanwan spoke lightly. Although her voice was not loud, it seemed to have a great force:

"What is true occupation? Can occupying land make the people on the land submit?"

Lin Xiaohe said: "Of course not."

Lin Wanwan said again: "Yes, it's impossible.

Then, if we take possession of the women of that country and let them give birth to offspring of our own country, does that count as the real occupation?"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked. The ministers looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.

After a moment, someone uttered a soft exclamation, breaking the oppressive silence.

Immediately afterwards, sounds of admiration surged like a tide.

"The princess is truly a genius!"

"This is something we have never heard of before."

"Yes, the princess's idea is so unique that one cannot help but admire it."

At this time, Ouyang Qingyu looked calm. He raised his chin slightly, and his voice echoed clearly in the banquet hall:

“Similarly, allowing the men of Zijin Country to have children can also allow bloodline invasion and concept invasion.

Situ Liufeng, the director of the Alchemy Bureau, has already refined an elixir that can make men conceive. Then according to the princess's wishes, as long as the men of Zijin Country can accept having children.

On the one hand, it weakens their fighting power, and on the other hand, it helps to continue their bloodline. In a real sense, we are like a family."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The ministers looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces.

"This... How is this possible? A boy having a baby, unheard of!"

"But if it is possible."

"Perhaps we can truly achieve what the princess said about being like a family."

Lin Xiaohe and Liu Ruimei also showed surprised expressions, their eyes moving back and forth between Ouyang Qingyu and Lin Wanwan.

For a long time, Lin Xiaohe could no longer hear what the court officials were saying to Lin Wanwan. He sat in the main seat, his eyes slightly lowered, and fell into deep thought.

His eyes fell on Lin Wanwan from time to time not far away, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

As everyone discussed Lin Wanwan's ideas and Ouyang Qingyu's proposal, Lin Xiaohe gradually realized the gap between himself and Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan's insights are unique and profound, and her thinking is broad and sharp. However, when faced with these complex problems, I always seem hesitant and lack the courage and decisiveness.

Lin Xiaohe clenched the wine glass in his hand tightly, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He realized that although he possessed supreme power as an emperor, he might not be able to compare with Lin Wanwan in terms of wisdom and insight.

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes darkened. Why was the war in Zijin Country so intense and fierce? He looked at Lin Xiaohe who was in a high position and couldn't help but smile. He put a glass of wine to his lips and took a sip:

The princess will ascend to the supreme throne, and the current war is nothing more than a minor setback.
