"How did you plan to go about it?" Eva asked with great interest.
"Would you let her remain a carefree princess forever, or take things a step further?"
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "It is still too early to discuss such matters. She is still young, and cultivation remains the most important thing for her now. A tall tree catches the wind; pushing her into the spotlight too early would not be a good thing."
Eva nodded in agreement. "That is true. Then how do you intend to handle this situation, where the tree wishes to be still but the wind refuses to stop?"
Qian Renxue laid out her plan. "In public, we need to appear inseparable. You are the Queen deeply trusted by Father, while I am the Crown Prince serving as regent. We are a community of shared interests. I will publicly express my care and expectations for Princess Snow White, stressing that it is a blessing for the Empire to possess such a genius, while hinting to everyone that Princess Snow White is devoted to cultivation and has no interest in worldly power."
She paused, then continued, "This way, we can soothe those restless hearts, dissolve potential power struggles before they take shape, and temporarily gather this newly born force together to maintain Heaven Dou Empire's stability against external threats. As for the future..."
A glimmer flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes. "Who can say what the future holds? But no matter what, Xue'er is my daughter. Everything concerning her will naturally receive the best arrangement in the end."
Eva understood Qian Renxue's meaning. At this stage, maintaining surface harmony, jointly enjoying the political dividends brought by Lin Wan's victory, and avoiding internal strife were in both their interests.
"A very good proposal."
