"Reporting to the Great King."
"Now that the Shangjiangjun has returned in triumph, aside from lavish rewards, perhaps the matter of the royal betrothal between Princess Liuyang and General Wang Ben, which Your Majesty once spoke of, can also be settled."
Wang Wan stepped forward and reported with a smile.
This movement—
—seemed casual.
But in truth, it carried the intent of showing goodwill to Wang Jian.
As a staunch supporter of Fusu, the Eldest Imperial Son, he raised the match between Princess Liuyang and General Wang Ben, using it as precedent, then broached the betrothal of Wang Jian's daughter to Fusu.
If successful,
Fusu would possess powerful military kinship.
Not only was he the eldest among all princely sons—a natural successor,
but he would also have a Shangjiangjun as his supporter.
This was truly a matter of great fortune for Fusu.
After all, in the Court, with Wang Wan in attendance, most of the old nobility aligned themselves with Fusu.
