After she came of age, the old men in her family spent all their time thinking about how to marry her off, but she was only interested in weapon crafting and never thought about getting married.
Despite her repeated expressions of dissatisfaction, these old folks completely disregarded her words and continued to find her so-called suitable marriage partners.
Sun Shangxiang felt it was time to give these old idiots a little shock!
Otherwise, they might all think they're easy targets that anyone can bully!

059: You're such a bad brother, but you still have a conscience! (Please give me flowers and add this to your favorites!)
"Cough cough..."
"I won't marry him, I won't marry him, it's okay..."
"You can stay single for life if you want!"
Sun Ce's eyelids twitched violently. Seeing that his younger sister looked like she was about to fly into a rage, he quickly changed his words.
This girl has had a spoiled princess temperament since she was a child. If she is really pushed to the limit, Sun Ce can't guarantee what she might do.
Fortunately, this time he only agreed to test the waters with his younger sister and did not directly agree to Liu Xuande's request.
Otherwise, things will become difficult.
Liu Bei is now the lord of Yicheng. If he goes back on his word, the Sun family will definitely pay a heavy price.
After all, the Sun family is still just a thousand-year-old family in Jiang County. They have not overthrown the tyrant's rule, nor do they control the entire Jiang County. Naturally, they do not have the strength to challenge Liu Bei.
If my younger sister could marry Liu Bei, it would be a good thing for both of them.
However, his younger sister was unusually resistant to marriage, which gave Sun Ce quite a headache.
Not wanting to pressure his younger sister too much, Sun Ce changed the subject.
"And one more thing……"
"The Lantern Festival of the Great Tang Dynasty in Heluo is about to begin, and our Sun family has also received an invitation from Her Majesty the Empress..."
"I came here to ask you if you'd like to go to the Tang Dynasty with your elder brother this time..."
When this was mentioned, Sun Ce's face lit up with excitement.
The power of the Sun family alone was far too small to overthrow the tyrant's rule.
If we can make some allies during this trip to the Tang Dynasty, the chances of success will greatly increase.
This is also why he wanted to arrange for his younger sister to marry Liu Bei.
However, it now seems... this whole thing has completely fallen through...
He hadn't even mentioned Liu Bei's name yet, and the younger sister was already so angry.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce shook his head inwardly, not intending to offer any further advice.
The idea of marrying his younger sister to Liu Bei was the idea of his father and the clan elders. He only came here to sound out their opinions.
If given a choice, as the elder brother, Sun Ce would naturally hope that his younger sister could marry her true love and live happily ever after.
However, being born into a prestigious family like the Sun family, he was often powerless to do anything about it, and he couldn't help his younger sister much.
Unless he rises up now and overthrows the tyrant's rule, thereby gaining the vast majority of the power to speak and becoming the head of the Sun family.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce's eyes became even more profound, and his resolve to pursue this idea strengthened.
...............
"When will we go to the Tang Dynasty?"
Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, trying to calm her somewhat disordered breathing, and her anger subsided a little.
Fortunately, this second so-called good news had nothing to do with her marriage, otherwise Sun Shangxiang felt she would definitely have gone berserk.
Sun Shangxiang had heard about the Lantern Festival of the Great Tang Dynasty before.
It was a grand gathering convened by Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, held every five years.
However, when the Empress held the International Lantern Festival last time, she only invited some small countries near the Heluo region and the dynasties of the other eight states, but not the Sun family.
Given the small size of the Sun family, they shouldn't even be worthy of the Empress's attention, even though the Sun family wields considerable influence in Jiang County.
But to that high and mighty woman, they were nothing more than tiny ants.
Although it was just a standardized invitation issued by the Directorate of Ceremonial, it still reveals a lot.
Something unusual must be going on. Almost out of a woman's intuition, Sun Shangxiang felt that the Empress must have some special meaning behind her actions.
"March later, it's the Double Ninth Festival..."
"Jiangjun is far from the Tang Dynasty, so we need to set off directly in two months..."
Seeing that his younger sister's attention had been successfully diverted, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and then gave an answer.
"I understand……"
"I need to continue refining the weapon, elder brother, please return!"
Sun Shangxiang nodded expressionlessly and slammed the wooden door of the room shut.
Staring at the closed wooden door in front of him, Sun Ce hesitated, unable to utter a word, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
"Ugh………"
Knowing that his younger sister still harbored some resentment towards him, Sun Ce shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and left the pavilion without looking back.
"Give the order: for the next two months, no one is allowed to see Miss, and no one is to disturb her weapon-forging!"
"Yes, young master..."
"Humph……"
"At least you, this wicked brother, have some conscience after all~"
Inside the room, upon hearing Sun Ce's instructions to his servants, a smile finally returned to Sun Shangxiang's pretty face.
At least for the next two months, before heading to the Tang Dynasty in Heluo, she no longer needs to worry about being harassed by others.
In a good mood, Sun Shangxiang continued her work of refining weapons and began tinkering with various materials.

The land of contention, the Qin state of Xuanyong.
The Qin state was known for its martial spirit and simple, honest people, making it the undisputed leading power in the land of contention for supremacy.
Ten years ago, King Zheng of Qin was eighteen years old. He seized power from his grandmother, Mi Yue, and ascended the throne as emperor.
In ten years, the King of Qin unified the six kingdoms, pacified the four seas, and traversed the eight wastelands, eliminating the remaining six surrounding states and creating the present-day Immortal Qin Empire.
After conquering the six states, Ying Zheng did not immediately choose to continue expanding his territory, but instead rapidly contracted and focused on recuperation.
After several years of development, the Qin Dynasty had grown to possess a million-strong army and reigned supreme over the world.
Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study.
"An invitation from Empress Wu Zetian..."
"International Lantern Festival?"
Looking at the invitation card handed over by the Shadow Guard, which was stamped with the seal of the Tang Dynasty, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly. His handsome face remained calm, but he was silently making plans in his heart.
"Go and summon General Dongfang!"
"According to the order!"
The figure bowed and accepted the order, then disappeared from the imperial study.

060: The cold beauty Dongfang Jing, a long-legged mature woman! (Please give flowers and add to your favorites)
Before long, Dongfang Jing appeared in the Imperial Study.
"See Your Majesty..."
Dongfang Jing clasped his hands in a respectful bow.
She was stunningly beautiful, with delicate features, red lips, white teeth, and snow-white skin.
Tall and slender with a cool and aloof demeanor, she resembles a snow lotus blooming proudly atop the Tianshan Mountains.
"General Dongfang, there's no need for such formalities, please have a seat..."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, his face equally expressionless, and gestured for Dongfang Jing to sit down and talk.
Dongfang Jing accepted the order and respectfully sat down on the armchair to the side, awaiting Ying Zheng's instructions.
"How long has Dongfang Yao been studying at Jixia Academy?"
Ying Zheng did not immediately inform Dongfang Jing of his instructions, but instead asked a question.
The Dongfang family has always been loyal to the Qin royal family, serving the Qin state for generations. Dongfang Jing and her siblings' parents were only there to suppress a rebellion in the trenches.
Therefore, even though Dongfang Jing was a woman, Ying Zheng still entrusted her with important responsibilities.
Dongfang Jing has never disappointed him. Over the years, he has organized the Qin army in an orderly manner and has always done his best in carrying out various missions.
Ying Zheng naturally saw all of this.
However, as an emperor, he would not deliberately say anything sentimental to his subordinates.
"He's been gone for five years..."
Upon hearing Ying Zheng mention his good-for-nothing younger brother, a strange emotion flickered in Dongfang Jing's cold, beautiful eyes, but her voice remained indifferent.
"Yes, it's been a full five years..."
"You and your brother haven't seen each other for five years..."
"I'm granting you a six-month leave this time. Go and visit your younger brother at Jixia Academy..."
