Chapter 192: Nothing to do with love
Thousands of miles away in the northern frontier, Qinghe, who successfully educated the village, transformed into a teacher and used his knowledge to teach them to distinguish right from wrong.

Under the eaves, Qinghe, dressed in plain clothes, held a book and taught the children word by word.

"At birth, human nature is good..."

"At birth, human nature is good..."

The innocent and naive voices of children echoed through the village, and every adult passing by the school couldn't help but stop to listen.

After circling a few times in the air, an eagle landed at the school window. Qinghe glanced at the eagle, then silently looked away, closed his book, and spoke softly.
"That's all for today. Go back and read it silently three times each. The teacher will check it tomorrow."

The children said goodbye in neat rows, "Goodbye, Master."

After all the children had returned home, Qinghe slowly walked to the bedside, took the letter from the eagle, glanced at its contents, and put it in his sleeve.

"Teacher, Aman has decided not to be your concubine!" The girl burst into the school excitedly, showing off the red ribbon on her right wrist.
“The Master is right. Women should follow their hearts. That’s why Aman decided to run for the position of clan chief.”

After studying with the teacher for a while, she realized that being a concubine was not good, and being a concubine of a Han Chinese was even worse, as she would be confined to the courtyard walls for the rest of her life and never see the light of day.

Instead of wasting her time, she should protect the village and be a strong and upright woman.

Aman's bright eyes shone with longing, like a child hoping for praise.

Qinghe smiled gently and praised without reservation, "Aman did a great job. Master is waiting for your triumphant return."

In the past, he would not have spent time educating his enemies, but instead seized upon their weaknesses to break through them in one fell swoop, using any means necessary to achieve his goals.

He was willing to change simply because she was there.

Having received affirmation, Aman confidently assured, "Thank you, Master. The position of clan chief will surely belong to Aman."

"Once Aman takes the position of clan chief, he will attack other villages and capture them all to listen to the teacher's lessons."

The girl's innocent words revealed her undisguised ambition and confidence in her ability to achieve it.

This was a firm conviction, while someone in Kyoto, a thousand miles away, was filled with unease.

The officials observing the scene fell silent, secretly praising Princess Fule for her boldness.

He was shocked and exclaimed, "What the hell? Take your eyes off me!"

Watching a play quietly has led to your own demise; what could be worse than that?

He scrambled to his feet and rushed behind Shi Nuanyu, roaring through gritted teeth.

"I am His Highness's man, so you should stop having such thoughts."

Compared to his panic, Shi Nuanyu was much calmer. "What does Princess Fule see in him?"

All three great kingdoms know that Princess Nanyue has seven husbands, each of whom she protects and cares about. Yet now, someone is trying to steal one of them right in front of her.

This was clearly a blatant humiliation, a disrespect for her status as Princess Nanyue.

Fu Le blushed and lowered her head shyly like a young girl. "The Alliance Leader is tall and imposing, and has a passionate heart. I fell in love with him at first sight."

Before he could finish speaking, he retorted, "What hot-blooded heart? I'm just eager for revenge. Don't try to harm me."

Shi Nuanyu patted his hand and said softly, "As the saying goes, it's better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage. He is a member of this palace, so I hope Princess Fule will give up on this idea and find someone else."

Not to mention that he was never her husband, she would not have given him away even if he wasn't.

The Second Prince of Dongchen seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, saying, "Princess Nanyue has seven marriages. Why not choose one to fulfill my sister's wishes and show goodwill between our two countries?"

The expressions of the people present varied. The ministers of Nanyue looked grim. Dongchen was determined to take the princess, which was a slap in the face to the royal family.

Yu Changfeng sat there with an air of nonchalance, ready to watch the show. He was very happy to see one less competitor.

The other two were also unusually silent. Tao Huiyan was indifferent to the matter, while Hua Lingyan was eager for someone to be sent away. Shi Nuanyu narrowed her eyes and smashed a wine cup at the Second Prince's feet.

"Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me in Nanyue?"

The arena fell silent. Several men, abandoning their nonchalant attitudes, stared intently at the Second Prince with serious expressions.

The second prince's face contorted in a grimace for a moment, then he bowed and clasped his hands to conceal the malice in his eyes.

"It was my fault for speaking out of turn, Princess Nanyue, please forgive me."

Fu Le hurriedly stepped in front of the Second Prince, "Your Highness, my feelings for the Alliance Leader are my own business, and have nothing to do with you, Your Highness."

Shi Nuanyu's expression darkened slightly as she slowly poured herself a cup of wine. "Since he has not yet been chosen as my husband, I cannot simply hand him over."

“Fule knows,” Princess Fule bit her lip and mustered her courage to speak, “but I will not give up. There is a folk custom in Dongchen.”

Two men or women may both fall in love with the same person, and must resort to force to win their beloved. Would Princess Nanyue dare to try?

If word got out that the princesses of two countries were fighting over a man, wouldn't the people laugh their heads off?

The ministers looked at each other, none of them daring to stop the conflict.

Shi Nuanyu looked at the two siblings and pondered inwardly, why must it be that they had never tried?
Fu Le spoke of Xin Yue's feelings without ever having tried them, her eyes filled with the shyness of a young girl. But she found it strange that she couldn't sense any affection from Xin Yue in her.
Just as she had never liked him, she felt joy in him.

He was furious even though he hadn't tried it, and he wanted nothing more than to go down and teach them a lesson.

The second prince, with a smug look on his face, stepped forward and exposed himself to the crowd.

"Princess Nanyue did not respond. Could it be that she dares not?"

As he spoke, he shook his head with a worried expression, "My little sister is overwhelmed with emotion, and as her elder brother, I can only offer my support. If Princess Nanyue agrees, I will shamelessly add another condition."

"If Princess Nanyue loses, I, the prince, will take one of her people."

The second prince's greedy gaze fell on Tao Huiyan, his purpose clear.

Before she could even muster the strength, she roared furiously, "Shameless ugly thing! His Highness hasn't even spoken yet, what are you yelling about?"

Tao Huiyan's expression was cold. "Second Prince, please have some self-respect."

Here it comes, the plot from the book.

At the banquet, the Second Prince of Dongchen made a bet with Princess Nanyue. To save face, Princess Nanyue lost her male concubine, Tao Huiyan, who was given to the Second Prince and tortured to the point of being unrecognizable.

Shi Nuanyu laughed in exasperation. These two siblings were only targeting her, weren't they?

It's a pity that she wouldn't allow anyone else to spy on the person she had chosen.

Shi Nuanyu stared coldly at the brother and sister, "As a member of the Dongchen royal family, the Second Prince disregards the lives of the people and uses them as gambling. Such behavior is chilling."

He wanted both, so it's no wonder she pushed him onto the moral high ground.

Ignoring the Second Prince's gloomy face, her gaze fell on Princess Fule.

Do you know who I am?

Shi Nuanyu stood up and looked down at everyone, "I am the most noble princess of Nanyue, the future empress of Nanyue. Are you sure you want to make a bet with me?"

The overwhelming aura of power made Fu Le feel timid, but she forced herself to reply, "Does Princess Nan Yue intend to use her status to intimidate me?"

In order not to test the power behind him, Dong Chen actually used a woman as a shield.

A sarcastic smile flashed across Shi Nuanyu's eyes. "Nanyue never gambles with its people. You insist on fighting me, so I will keep my promise. The war between the princesses of the two countries has nothing to do with love, but only with the two nations."

Nuannuan is not a delicate queen, ( ). (The children continue.)
