The Emperor, upon hearing this, felt somewhat relieved at last. Although the State Preceptor was arrogant and impolite, he still harbored some feelings for the North Country and had not allowed his personal affairs to endanger its people.
"What does the State Preceptor suggest then?" The Emperor asked, looking at him puzzled.
"Since Princess Ziyin is endowed with unique skills, it would be somewhat wasteful to have her stay idly at the Second Prince's residence. Why not compel her to resolve our Northern Land's planting issues when spring arrives?" The State Preceptor proposed viciously, "Or perhaps, have Princess Ziyin stay permanently in our North Country."
"Stay permanently in the North Country?" The Emperor was startled.
"Yes." A calculating look appeared in the State Preceptor's eyes.
"Royal Mother, this is Princess Ziyin from the Northern Land." As expected, Alhatu led Lin Ziyin to the harem. Their first stop was his own Royal Mother's palace.
