The crown prince, who had originally been stern-faced, was now green with anger. Who goes to the bridal chamber without even entertaining guests?
Isn't that a traditional activity for when everyone is asleep late at night?
The Crown Prince's cheeks puffed out in anger. He seriously suspected that the Divine Artifact Master was deliberately trying to smear him in front of the Junior Tutor.
The Crown Prince, unusually, let down his guard and revealed his true nature, which amused the Crown Princess beside him.
She gently squeezed the prince's large hand, reminding him to be mindful of his demeanor.
The Crown Prince took a deep breath, quickly composed himself, and began to toast the Crown Princess.
He first paid respects to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress.
Next up was Moonlight.
Yue Fuguang said, "Then I, the Junior Tutor, wish the Crown Prince and Crown Princess a harmonious and loving marriage, where they will never doubt each other."
As Yue Fuguang spoke, everyone saw a faint, pale golden light spreading from her body, so faint that they might mistake it for an illusion.
It seemed to come alive as it emerged from Yue Fuguang's body and disappeared into Xie Zhiyan and Shen Junshu's bodies.
Both of them were overjoyed to hear her blessing.
Being in the royal family, the couple were of one mind and never doubted each other, destined to be each other's closest family members and their most trusted political allies.
Now, seeing the golden light shining upon them again, the two felt a sense of lightness in their bodies.
Xie Zhiyan and Shen Junshu exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and joy in each other's eyes.
Their expressions naturally did not escape the notice of the people who had been watching them closely.
After all, the Junior Tutor's blessing tonight is one of the 'programs' they are paying attention to, and it is much better than the dance in the palace.
Everyone, including the royal family, was speculating whether the Junior Tutor's blessing had other effects.
Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, who were originally somewhat tired, have changed their expressions after the Junior Tutor finished speaking?
The two of them would suddenly become energetic and radiant.
"Thank you for your kind words, Junior Tutor!" The two bowed respectfully to Yue Fuguang.
The moonlight floats on the water, unhindered and unseen, accepted with a smile and equanimity.
After the two stood up, they took the wine handed to them by the eunuch and drank it all in one gulp.
Yue Fuguang also took a sip of the juice in her glass, smacked her lips, and said it wasn't as good as the juice from the system store.
【Master, why don't you wish them a long and happy marriage and many children?】
"How tacky! Besides, if I wish them a long and happy marriage, wouldn't they live to be over a hundred years old?"
"It's not a good thing for the country or the family if the reigning emperor lives to be over a hundred years old!"
The Great Xia Dynasty has the most to say on this point. Those emperors who lived a long time in history did a lot of harm to the court and the country!
Emperor Mingxi and his son, the Crown Prince, inwardly complained that if they could live to be over a hundred years old, they would rather abdicate in favor of their descendants when they reached that age.
Being an emperor emeritus is also a good choice.
Emperor Mingxi: It is said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Doesn't Your Excellency really want to extend his lifespan?
As for having children, the Crown Princess is not yet eighteen, so there is no rush to give birth.
Shen Junshu smiled, her heart filled with gratitude. With the words of the Junior Tutor, the burden on her shoulders to quickly produce offspring for the royal family could be lightened.
Upon hearing the words of the Junior Tutor, the Empress, who was eager to hold her grandson, and the Empress Dowager, who also wanted to hold her great-grandson, both lost their enthusiasm.
How could they forget that this person advocates... oh right, late marriage and late childbirth?
If they urge their daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law to have children too early, will it displease this person?
After receiving congratulations from the princes and princesses below, the Crown Princess stayed by the Empress and Empress Dowager's side, while the Crown Prince descended from the high platform to pay respects to the civil and military officials and the delegations from various countries.
He walked to each table, and the ministers stood up and offered their blessings.
The prince was drinking wine, one cup after another. Yue Fuguang noticed his face was turning red, but he showed no signs of drunkenness. Was he someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?
When the foreign delegation arrived, Xi Yuanshan said, "This king congratulates Your Highness the Crown Prince."
He downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and continued, "The Western Qiang present us with a gift: a precious sword, ten fine horses, a hundred hides, and a thousand cattle and sheep. May our two nations be forever on friendly terms."
The attendant brought over a long box, opened it, and inside was a knife.
The scabbard was decorated with jewels. The prince picked up the sword, looked at it, and then handed it to the eunuch behind him.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of Western Qiang. Please convey my gratitude to the Prince on my behalf."
When it was Beili's turn, they also sent horses, cattle, sheep, and furs.
The bow and arrows that were given as a gift were quite exquisite. The crown prince tried the bowstring and praised, "A fine bow."
Upon seeing this, the system couldn't help but complain again, "Master, the emperors of these countries are too stingy."
This is the wedding of a crown prince, and all they give is this?
The master's recipe was enough to defeat them all! Little Bead seriously suspects that these people embezzled the money along the way!
"Little Pearl, the things they brought—a gift list and a letter of credence—no one could forge them. It's just that their emperor is stingy!"
[And that nonsense about the two countries being friendly forever, the rulers and ministers of Dayan actually believed it. Little did they know that the other side had been preparing for years to annex Dayan.]
The emperors of Dayan, generation after generation, only cared about guarding their own small territory and never thought of expanding their lands. They were truly useless!
The useless Emperor Mingxi and the future useless Xie Zhiyan exchanged a glance, both seeing a fleeting look of disdain in each other's eyes.
This little boat of father-son affection can capsize in an instant!
Upon hearing the divine artifact begin to curse again, the civil and military officials, regardless of whether they were political enemies, pulled up those around them and began to offer toasts.
He seemed determined to get himself drunk as quickly as possible so he couldn't hear anything.
Shen Junshu, who was standing beside the Empress Dowager and the Empress, was a little nervous. She looked at the Junior Tutor with concern.
The Queen seemed to sense her worry and simply smiled and patted her hand.
She couldn't tell at all that her husband and son were being scolded.
Empress Xu: What's wrong with scolding a few times? The Divine Artifact didn't say anything wrong!
Empress Dowager: The Divine Artifact Master's scolding was genuine, but his actions towards Dayan were also genuinely helpful!
Although the Divine Artifact is a bit unruly, he is kept in check by the Junior Master and will not cause any trouble.
"Little Pearl, you're too attached to appearances! As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. The rulers and ministers of the Great Yan Dynasty are indulging in comfort, and naturally they will die from comfort."
Die in comfort! Die in comfort! These four words struck like a warning bell in the hearts of the rulers and ministers of Dayan.
It also shattered their recent restlessness and complacency, especially after seeing the high-yield and high-quality seeds growing well in the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, they couldn't help but feel a little proud and inflated.
Some even became complacent, forgetting that the sharp blade of national subjugation always hung over their heads.
Surrounded by the other four kingdoms, Dayan was a piece of easy prey, and their desire to destroy Dayan had never changed.
The struggle between nations is much like the struggle for rights and interests between individuals.
Looking at the delegations from other countries, they appeared respectful, but were actually arrogant.
In the hearts of the rulers and ministers of Dayan, the seed of conquering and expanding territory suddenly burst forth with vitality, and the great tree of unification began to take root and sprout in their hearts.
"Huh, system, how come I suddenly have 20,000 points?"
