Chapter 691: Pigeons Flying All Over the Sky
Wu Hanyu and Princess Zhuoma did not return to the prince's residence, but went directly back to the palace.
Wu Xiao glanced at the somewhat dispirited Eighth Prince, then turned around and asked Yuanjiu to announce the imperial decree.
The content of the imperial edict did not surprise the court officials, except for the eighth prince.
He looked at Wu Hanyu, who was now the crown prince, and still didn't understand why he had lost.
Zhuoma also changed from a princess to a crown princess, and this change stunned her.
Her brother was very happy because they had just seen the cannons of Da Xia, and now their sister became the Crown Princess, which was a win-win for them.
Xia Wanniang sat next to Xiao Chiye. The wine prepared by the palace servants today was all Northwest wine, and the fruits were naturally watermelon and melon.
As for why there were such fruits in this season, Wu Xiao just smiled and did not give an answer, only saying that these were specialties of the Northwest.
Zhong Li looked at Xiao Chiye and his wife again, as if all the changes were caused by these two people. It seems that he still underestimated Da Xia.
"I wonder if I can buy some wine and these cups from the Princess?"
Xia Wanniang raised her glass towards him: "Of course."
Tsukuri didn't expect her to be so straightforward: "What about the grain seeds?"
When Xia Wanniang saw that as soon as he said this, the envoys from other countries all turned their heads and looked towards their positions at the same time.
She looked at Zhuo Li with some apology: "Prince Zhuo Li, you have to ask our king about this. I can't make the decision."
Zhong Li looked at Wu Xiao and said, "I wonder if the King of Da Xia can sell some grain seeds to our Prime Minister."
Wu Xiao laughed and said, "Today is my son's wedding. We will discuss these matters tomorrow." Then he raised his glass to everyone in the hall and said, "Drink, drink."
Zhong Li is also a smart man. It may not be so easy to obtain Da Xia’s high-yield grain varieties. As for other things, he can only grind them out slowly.
Wu Hanyu and Zhuoma are now the crown prince and crown princess, so they move into the East Palace in the imperial palace.
The eighth prince didn't say a word, but just covered his head and drank one glass after another.
Wu Hanyu walked up to him and said, "Eighth Brother, I'll toast you a glass."
The Eighth Prince looked at Wu Hanyu in a drunken state, "I didn't expect that after all the fighting, you would be the one who got the advantage in the end."
Wu Hanyu sat next to him and clinked the wine glass in his hand with his own: "In fact, you only lost your ideas. If you were the same as me, I might not have a chance either."
The Eighth Prince looked at him: "Thoughts?"
Wu Hanyu pointed at the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife standing opposite him and said, "What they want is a peaceful and prosperous world, and what you want is power and status."
The Eighth Prince looked at him in confusion: "What about you? Don't you want power and status?"
Wu Hanyu smiled and took a sip of wine: "I just want to see what Second Brother wanted to see all those years ago. If one of you has the same will as him, I think they will help you."
The Eighth Prince found the gentle man from his forgotten memories. No one seemed to hate him. "That's right. If he were still alive, I probably wouldn't fight for him."
Wu Hanyu looked at the Eighth Prince and said, "Brother, let's work together to make Daxia a better place!"
The Eighth Prince looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will take your place?"
"I still say the same thing. If you can make the people of Daxia well-fed and well-clothed and bring peace and prosperity to Daxia, you don't have to fight for it. I will give this position to you." Wu Hanyu said sincerely.
The Eighth Prince looked at him puzzledly: "Won't you regret it?"
Wu Hanyu: "I keep my word."
The Eighth Prince raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it towards him: "Then we will wait and see."
Wu Hanyu smiled and drank the wine in the glass.
Xiao Chiye never refused anyone who came to toast him, and even helped Xia Wanniang block a lot of drinks.
Wu Hanyu's wedding ended perfectly, and envoys from various countries returned to the post station with their own thoughts.
But at the same time, many pigeons flew out from the post station.
Qingfeng looked at the pigeons flying all over the sky and asked: "Don't you need to stop them?"
"No need, they are all going to notify the withdrawal of troops. Only a fool would go head-on with Daxia at this time." Xu Li said nonchalantly while crossing his legs.
