Fairview Nongmen Xiaofu Girl

The peace talks lasted nearly two months before they were concluded. In the end, the four countries ceded 100 li of territory, 5,000 horses, cattle and sheep each, returned all prisoners of war to each other, and signed an agreement not to fight for ten years.

The above conditions are the same for all four countries, and there are some exchange conditions that are proposed for the different products of the four countries. For example, Beiyan has more cattle, horses and sheep, so Xuanyuan wants them to sell more cattle and horses to Xuanyuan every year. Nanling has more medicinal herbs, so they ask them for more medicinal herbs.

Ruoxuan didn’t pay much attention to it because she was getting married soon!

Xuanyuan Que and Ruoxuan's wedding day is set in March, when all the flowers are in full bloom.

A few days before the wedding, the man and woman cannot see each other.

Ruoxuan did not go to find Lord Xuanyuan, but stayed at home and watched her family prepare her dowry.

Liu and Lei Po discussed: "I asked around, and the Eighth Prince's wife's family only prepared thirty-six loads of dowry. The Gao family and the Zhu family also prepared thirty-six loads, and it's hard to say whether they will be able to skip the Eighth Prince's wife. Should we also prepare thirty-six loads on the surface? However, thirty-six loads may not be enough to hold the things we prepared for Xuan Bao."

Originally, she was planning to prepare a dowry of seventy-eight loads for Xuan Bao, but the Emperor ordered that the princes and princesses who were to be married off to be married off to be married off on the same day in the palace. So Xuan Bao's dowry couldn't be much more than others, at least not on the surface.

Mrs. Lei nodded: "Everyone is preparing thirty-six, so we can't stand out too much. We will prepare thirty-six on the surface, and try to pack as many as possible. For the rest, we can prepare more for Xuanbao in private."

Ruoxuan's dowry, given by her uncles, aunts and brothers alone, amounted to more than thirty-six loads.

No matter how hard Mrs. Lei and Liu's sisters-in-law tried to cram in the luggage, they felt that thirty-six loads were far from enough.

The people in Ruo's family wanted to give all the things in the house to Ruoxuan as a dowry.

Over the years under Ruochuan's management, the Ruo family has more than 30 study rooms, more than 30 clinics and drug stores, five restaurants, more than 60 rouge and powder shops, 20 cloth shops, and two furniture workshops, not to mention fertile fields, farms and mansions.

Ruoxuan saw that her family gave most of the family property to her.

But thirty-six lifts were far from enough no matter how hard we tried to cram them in.

He Xinghua said, "Everyone should pick out the best of Xuanbao's dowry and put it in the thirty-six loads. The rest can be packed together. It just so happens that the Ninth Prince's residence is next door. We can have the extra dowry delivered on the day of the wedding."

After the prince gets married, he will move out of the palace and build his own residence.

The Nine Emperors' Palace bestowed upon Xuanyuan Que by the Emperor was right next to Princess Wuyou's Mansion, and the two mansions were separated by only an alley.

Ruoxuan's marriage is equivalent to marrying next door. If she wants to go back to her parents' home, it is only a matter of walking a few steps. This makes Ruo's family very happy.

Xuanbao lives next door, so I can always see her when I go out.

Mrs. Lei: "That's a good idea!"

Ruoxuan: "I just want to pick one thing I like, and I don't want the others. You don't have to prepare so much for me. And I don't want shops, fields, farms, etc."

She and Lord Xuanyuan had opened many workshops together, and these were all hers.

Moreover, her family didn't take the money she earned over the years.

But this time no one listened to Ruoxuan, and the people in Ruo's family insisted on giving it to Ruoxuan.

Ruoxuan thought that she would divide the shops and land among her brothers when they got married.

When Ruoxuan was preparing to take a nap and practice in the sun, Gao Yan came.

"Xuanbao, you have to save me!"

Ruoxuan glanced at her. Nothing happened to her or her family!
She was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Yan: "Xuanyuan Jie went to ask the Queen Mother to cancel the engagement but failed. Can you take me to the palace to ask the Queen Mother?"

She didn't want to trouble Ruoxuan, but there was really no other way.

Xuanyuan Jie went to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother about breaking off the engagement. He went to her several times and even went to the Emperor, but the Emperor and the Queen Mother refused.

The Queen Mother also scolded Xuanyuan Jie severely.

It is said that Xuanyuan Jie went to the northern border to fight as soon as the marriage was granted. He was gone for more than a year. She waited for him for more than a year, and when he came back he wanted to break off the engagement!
The Queen Mother scolded Xuanyuan Jie for being an unfaithful man! Ruoxuan heard this and said, "I can't retreat either."

Gao Yan still held out a glimmer of hope: "Xuan Bao, just take me to see the Queen Mother. I'll explain everything to her. She's always reasonable and will definitely agree."

Ruoxuan shook her head: "I can take you into the palace, but fate cannot be violated, and I cannot retreat."

Gao Yan doesn't believe in destiny. She just wants to go to the palace and talk things out with the Queen Mother.

So Ruoxuan brought Gao Yan into the palace.

Ruoxuan didn't know what the Queen Mother and Gao Yan had said, so in order to avoid suspicion, she found an excuse to go out to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers.

After meeting the Queen Mother, Gao Yan left the palace with Ruo Xuan.

Xuanyuan Jie had been waiting outside the palace gate. When he saw the two of them, he immediately walked up to Gao Yan and asked, "How is it? Did the Empress Dowager agree?"

Ruoxuan was a sensible person. When she saw Xuanyuan Jie waiting here, she immediately got into her own carriage and ran away, allowing the two of them to develop their relationship.

Xuanyuan Jie didn't look at Ruoxuan much this time. Firstly, it was inappropriate and he couldn't pay attention to her anymore. Secondly, he was waiting for Gao Yan and wanted to know whether she had successfully broken off the engagement.

Gao Yan shook her head, "The Queen Mother didn't agree."

Xuanyuan Jie: “…”

The reason why the Queen Mother disagreed was for Gao Yan. Every word the Queen Mother said was for her own good and for the good of the Gao family, making it impossible for Gao Yan to refute.

Gao Yan saw him frown and said again: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have picked up that flower. It caused you trouble."

Xuanyuan Jie came back to his senses and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you. I'm glad it was you who picked it up, and not someone else. Fortunately it was you."

At least they have known each other since childhood and know each other well.

Gao Yan looked at him in surprise.

There was nothing that could be done about it, so he said to Gao Yan, "Let's go! I'll take you home. We can talk about other things after the wedding."

"Oh."

*
In the blink of an eye, the wedding day of Ruoxuan and Xuanyuanque arrived. Also getting married today were several sons and grandsons of the emperor who were granted marriages that day.

On this day, the palace gates were wide open, and the six princes and grandsons of the emperor set out from the palace and went to various mansions to welcome their brides.

The sound of ritual music echoed throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

The streets of the capital were filled with people watching the fun.

This was the most lively one since the founding of Xuanyuan State.

Wedding candies and cakes were distributed to every household of the people living in the city.

There are also people distributing wedding candies and cakes outside the city. Just bring your household registration and everyone can get one.

Government offices in various places are also distributing wedding candies and cakes, and each household can get one by showing their household registration.

These wedding candies were paid for by the royal family and the families of several newlyweds.

Originally, it was Xuanyuan Que who paid for it alone, but later when the other princes found out, they also paid. When the bride's family found out, they also paid some. The rest was paid by Xuanyuan Que.

Citizens from every household in the entire Xuanyuan country received a portion of wedding candy or cakes, and the people in Shaxi County received one each.

A true celebration for all. (End of this chapter)
