The Empress usually didn't say what she thought, and she never interfered with the affairs of the court. The couple also had a tacit understanding not to mention or ask.
However, the Empress, as their mother, had the right to speak on the marriage of the princes and princesses.
What the Empress meant was that out of the three most powerful countries in the West, besides quicksand country, which had a relationship with Xinxin, the princes and princesses of the other two countries could be considered.
Then, he would choose another country other than these three countries. This way, it would be more balanced.
The Emperor had the same thought.
The two of them started discussing who to choose.
In the end, the couple gave the opportunity to marry the princess of the West to the fifth Prince and the ninth Prince. The two brothers were old and honest, so they wouldn't cause any trouble.
