The angry people gradually dispersed, leaving only a few dozen people outside the city gate helping to clean the dirty streets.
The deserted streets have returned to their former liveliness and prosperity, and every shop is as if newly opened and filled with customers.
After holding it in the house for several days, everyone was exhausted!
The emperor was dressed in plain clothes and walked on the street accompanied by Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan, as well as the Seventh Prince and others. He looked at the bustling street and listened to the vendors' shouts and bargaining voices, and felt satisfied.
But this prosperous age is only superficial, and underneath the surface there are actually turbulent times.
"Today, asking the Sixth Prince of Beiming Kingdom to kneel down in public and apologize to the people of Nalan Kingdom is a declaration of war on Beiming Kingdom! This war will last for who knows how many years. When there is a war, the people will suffer the most. !” The emperor sighed.
The prince of a country represents the royal family. When the royal family is humiliated, it represents the dignity of a country being trampled on.
The dignity of the country cannot be trampled on. Beiming is the most powerful country in the mainland. How can it endure such humiliation!
After what happened today, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between Nalan Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom!
What happened today will surely spread throughout several countries soon. The gentlemen of Beiming Kingdom have always had a good face, how could they cause such humiliation
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince immediately said: "Beiming Country has gone too far this time to bully others! If we don't give them some color, the other three countries will think that our Nalan Country is easy to bully! Father, don't worry, as long as I am here, there is nothing to fear." Beiming Kingdom? No matter how many years we fight, as long as there is still one person from Nalan Kingdom who has not fallen, we will fight to the end!"
The emperor rolled his eyes at the seventh prince: "To put it lightly, can you beat your seventeenth uncle?"
The brat's chin was light, what a world! It doesn’t just depend on “who” you can settle down!
This world can be stable only by "who, who, who..."!
Seventh Prince: "......"
Yes, this is how the father is the emperor!
It's always been a blow, don't you know how to encourage your son
The deeply shocked Seventh Prince decided not to speak!
Everyone lowered their heads and laughed secretly.
The group of people walked back to Anguo Gong's Mansion.
It was rare to leave the palace, so the emperor naturally had to go to Duke Anguo's mansion to have a meal before returning to the palace.
After lunch, the emperor was satisfied with his meal. He said to Nalan Jinnian, the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Soldiers and Horses and other ministers: "Lest you have to go to the palace again in the afternoon! Let's discuss things here today!"
The Minister of Hubu and others immediately responded: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at Wen Jiarui again: "Wen Aiqing, I want to borrow your study."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jiarui immediately replied respectfully: "It's an honor, Your Majesty, please!"
So the emperor successfully found an excuse to discuss matters with several ministers directly in the study of Duke An Guo. It happened that he could continue the discussion until dinner time, and then he successfully had three meals a day before returning to the palace.
After lunch, Prince An took the seventh prince and asked, "Have you found out?"
The seventh prince put his hand on his shoulder: "Don't worry! I'll go ask him right away!"
Prince An nodded: "Brother, it's up to you! I'm getting married tomorrow, so I'll go back to my house to prepare! Let me know if you find out!"
Prince An did not dare to stay here, watching how the seventh prince made inquiries.
He was afraid that he would get involved and lose his money again!

The seventh prince found a maid and asked her to go to the backyard to send a message to Wen Ling and ask her how the news went.
When Wen Ling heard the message from the maid, she didn't dare to delay. She straightened her appearance in the mirror and hurried to the front garden to find the seventh prince.
When she saw the tall, tall figure in the pavilion, like an orchid orchid tree, her heart was beating fast. She slowed down, walked over slowly, and called out sweetly: "Seventh Prince."
The seventh prince was watching the gardener repairing the flowers and plants. When he heard this, he turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Wen, are there any results?"
Wen Ling blushed and shook her head: "Sister Nuan left the house early today, and we sisters haven't discussed it yet. And Sister Nuan should have discussed it with everyone the night before the wedding."
The Seventh Prince nodded when he heard this: "That's right! Then let me know when you have discussed it! I will come to Duke Anguo's Mansion to practice martial arts in the past two days!"
"Yes!" Wen Ling was happy because she had another chance to get in touch with the Seventh Prince.
After the seventh prince finished speaking, he raised his feet and left. He was going to challenge Wan Yun with his soldiers in the military camp!
He must defeat the female soldiers led by Wan Yun and regain his position, otherwise it will be really embarrassing!

In the days that followed, Nuan Nuan, Wu and others were busy with Wu Jingmei's marriage.
The days passed quietly with flowers blooming and falling, and finally the day came for Wu Jingmei to get married.
The day before Wu Jingmei got married, it was the day when relatives, friends and sisters added makeup to her.
Wu Jingmei's room was filled with makeup products given by her elders, and it was also full of people.
The makeup that Wen Nuan gave to Wu Jingmei was only one less box of jewelry than the one given to Wen Wen Wen, but one box more of nameless calligraphy and paintings.
Nuan Nuan handed a box of banknotes to Wu Jingmei: "Cousin, these are all for you."
"What else? What kind of good thing is this!" Wu Jingmei opened the box and took a look at the large stack of banknotes.
Wen Ling's eyes got big when she saw it!
Such a thick stack of banknotes is more tender and warm than before, right
Wu Jingmei closed the box, pushed it over, and shook her head: "Sister Nuan, I can't have this! Those things are enough! And there are too many!"
Wu Jingmei pointed at the contents of several large boxes given by Nuan Nuan.
Mrs. Ye also felt that Nuan gave too much, and she hurriedly said: "Sister Nuan, I don't need the banknote. You can keep it yourself. The rest is enough!"
Wen Nuan smiled and pushed the box back: "Okay, it's not much, keep it! I only gave out one hundred thousand taels, the rest were given by Prince An!"
The money and warmth she had won from Prince An had all added to Wu Jingmei's makeup.
Mrs. Wu smiled and patted Wu Jingmei's hand and said kindly: "That's Sister Nuan's wish as a younger sister. Don't put it off! In the future, when you marry to Prince An's Mansion, it will be a place to spend money!" "
Wu Jingmei: "I can earn money! This is too much! Sister Nuan is getting married soon! She needs money even more."
Mrs. Ye also said: "Yes, Sister Nuan, I have already given Jingmei a lot of money to cover the bottom of the box. You can take it back yourself."
Mrs. Wu glared at Mr. Ye, and said with feigned anger: "Sister-in-law, this is their sister's business. Can't Sister Nuan show her respect to her cousin? Don't get involved! When Sister Nuan was still young, Jingmei celebrated the New Year. All the new clothes are given to her cousin! It’s rare that Sister Nuan is able to honor her cousin now, you should be happy! If you continue to delay it, I will be angry! "
