Our girl truly has come far. I'm going to have a stupid grin on my face for the rest of the night.
For the vote:
We should probably stick to building our foundations.

I'm really tempted to keep our thumb on the foundations. They are at 4 and thundering hills were at 3 idk if the revelation with change that.
Hmm both are good options I think for different reasons. Thundering hills will have the second road to the south right presumably after 100 years? They are both good focuses for us in general.

Meng Dan opening the husbando wars with a full on nuclear strike I see. Adorable scene.
I kinda want the thundering hills just to see Qi explain the Jai patriarch stuff.

I'm a bit confused by the lack of speaker tags.
Alright Turtle gang, we need to double our efforts. Xuan Shi, I expect you to bring your A-game when it's your turn.

I'm fully on-board the Meng Dan train. I like how unapologetically he's into LQ; her looks, personality and Way.
Thundering hills seems more interesting since our Senior Brother shook things up.

Meng Dan has firmly set himself at the top of the husband candidates, imo. The sheer chemistry they share is off the charts.
The flirting, the mutual nervousness mixed with eagerness, the open, direct and sincere compliments, the shared interests leading to fluid conversation.
The whole scene was fantastic.
Look at this almost kiss scene! That Ling Qi is even considering it is a huge step forward.
Love how Meng Dan is assertive but respectful, pushing but respecting Ling Qi's boundaries.
Can't wait until the Meng make the formal announcement of their courtship offer.

i really really like Meng Dan for Ling Qi, we should do a Ling Qi Adventure (TM) with him for more development
So its a toss up between the two factions were already on best terms with and a question of whether we want a 5/6 with the Foundations making them almost manically on our side and doing everything to support us, or the Thundering Hills to try and build up our status with them to try and make it just as strong as what we have with the Foundations, with a 4/6.
Its a bit of a toss up.
On one hand having a faction like us that much would be a huge positive. On the other hand its probably not a good idea to put all our eggs in one basket. Especially when four major and one minor faction hates us.
Celestial Peaks is a -4.....
Wonder if Bao Qian has any thoughts on that, coming from that region.

Yesss yesss let the meng Dan cult grow . Every scene where he shows his rizz only further cements his place on top of the charts . The only turtle boy lq needs in her life is zhengui .
Xuan shi can go on a one piece adventure and marry a polar maiden and gather a crew of badasses on his sky ship . Much better ending for him then stay at home house husband .
As for vote I'm heavily leaning towards using that jia rep to work for us . It's to our advantage

Aaaawwww 🧡 But... Will Turtle Boy be able to make a comeback??
Slowly but surely becoming convinced of this pairing. The chemistry is leagues ahead of anything else she's had with the other candidates.
At this point I don't even care much about which family has the most money or connections (and really they're all rich and established). Rather, which man will be the best partner for Ling Qi?

I believe Bao Qian is up next in the husbando wars. Yrs has really been flexing those writing chops, so I'm excited to see him go full send.

AYE Captain! But the boy needs to put forward some initiative for us to latch onto!
Personally we'll get all the courtly politics we want later on. Right now Geography dictate we make/solidify connection in the Thundering hills.

Meng Dan is cool, but I've been pulling for Xuan Shi since the Outer Sect, and in my opinion he's had the coolest Ling Qi adventures. It's going to take a lot more than one fancy dance to convince me otherwise.
At least we only have one front in this war. Xia Anxi is a mere suggestion and Bao Qian might as well be dead in a ditch (though we should ask Yao to keep an eye out just in case to ensure he remains deceased). Now that Communication has broken down the language barrier there is more opportunity for turtle rizz.
Edit: Crap forgot about Sixiang. Though on that front I'm of a mind with Hanyi re: the proper solution.

Alright, thinking about it that way, and its STILL a hard choice.
Both regions are in the south. Foundations we have an excellent rapport with and are already in a good position to benefit more from our good relations, meaning our relations will probably improve organically. On the other hand if we establish even stronger ties now, it might affect the Western Fens who share a count with a chunk of them.
On the other hand, Thundering Hills offers less obvious benefits structurally, but are close enough neighbors as to ensure strong advantages. Especially if we manage to shore up the entire south as our allies, building up a solid power block. Which wouldn't be a bad thing when it borders two of the regions we are on really bad terms with. Added to that if we do get them on our side somehow, we will have the Orator on our good side which could only be a boon.
The downside though being that how this could all work out is a bit spotty. Even if having the regions posessed by two and a half counts on our side is a positive.
Right, the vote.
I'm kinda ambivalent on this one. They are both "south" and the ones that will have the most contact with the Cloud Nomads so we are very much interested in knowing how the lower nobility of both feel about the Summit.
But we already have a good rapport with the Foundations, and plenty of avenues to improve it further. Hanyi's tours, for instance.
On the other hand, the Junior Sister incident is an unique opportunity to make contact with the Thundering Hills. Even if they are at +3, I don't think we have any direct strong connection with them. Unlike the Foundations.
Actually, wasn't that experimental shared area between the Empire and the Cloud Nomads we negotiated during the Summit located in the Thundering Hills?
That's going to be established at the birth of the Jing River, and that's in the Hills, isn't it?
Now, getting to probe how the nobility feels about such a controversial measure is something I'm very keen on finding out.
So I'm going for option 2.
[ ] …The Patriarch of Jia had given her something of a boon and curse, with his little revelation. She had noticed quite a few eyes from the nobles of the thundering hills region on her back tonight. They were southern nobility as well, so their thoughts on her accomplishments would be useful too.

Senior brother heated up the iron for us. Time to beat it into a useful shape.

I want to keep our relationship with our senior a little mysterious. Let's go for the new people who like us- it is a party!
[ ] She would ingratiate herself with the group of foundations region nobles, they liked her best, and could give her a closer eye on how sentiment about the summit was spreading under the ones most effected.
