"Don't you care about your family? You should know how terrifying the Xiongnu are. Your elder brother, charging into battle, could easily get injured. You can't save them all, but you can beg the Emperor to let him return to the capital! You surely can't just watch him march to his death!"
The tone of the Fifth Princess was somewhat urgent, but she didn't dare get too close to Murong Jiu's belly.
Murong Jiu seldom ventured beyond the gates of Prince Mansion, yet she had a finger on the pulse of exterior affairs.

The Emperor wanted to find a Prince Consort for the Fifth Princess, but he only looked at families of lower status, presumably worried that a more distinguished Prince Consort would provide support for the Second Prince.
