Chapter 261 Bargaining

"Husband?" Yuan Qiaolan looked at Feng Yuanhao in confusion.

Chen Huizhu also looked at Feng Yuanhan inquiringly.

After hearing Yuan Qiaolan's call, Feng Zuwen looked at his two daughters-in-law.

"You two don't know how special your sister is. She is a deity who came down to earth to experience disasters, and she brought with her the memories of her past life, as well as many treasures from her past life.

That's how she saved Qiaolan, and your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you because of Tianxing. If it weren't for her, you would have never married, and after your parents died, you followed them. You were still very young at that time.

It was also because of Tianxing that Huizhu's father was saved, and so was your eldest brother. Now you are all members of my Feng family, so there is nothing to hide from you. Just know it, don't tell anyone."

The two women stood up at the same time after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, thank you sister for saving my life."

The two of them moved in unison, and both bowed to Feng Tianxing.

"Two sisters-in-law, no need to thank me, we are a family now. To tell you the truth, I chose my sister-in-law myself, haha." After Feng Tianxing finished speaking, he glanced at his two brothers.

"You picked her because she's naughty, but we like her too." Feng Yuanhao didn't know that his sister was playing a prank.

Could it be that because of this, the two women would think that they don't like them?

"Sister, your second sister-in-law is very much to my liking. I used to like arguing with her, but I was actually teasing her. She's so cute when she's angry."

Feng Yuanhan wants to sleep on the floor. He doesn't think before he speaks.

Then: "Ouch!"

Feng Yuanhan screamed. But everyone could tell that he deliberately exaggerated his voice.

"Haha..." Feng Tianxing laughed.

"Why are you pinching me? Be careful that the child is taught badly by you."

"Sister, your second brother deserves to be punished." Chen Huizhu said as a matter of course, as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, yes, yes." Feng Tianxing immediately agreed.

The solemn and gloomy atmosphere just now disappeared.

"Okay, let's live happily as a family in the future. I will still be the commander of my imperial guards. Second brother, you still run errands for me. First brother, you do what you should do."

And on this night, the Feng family had a second grandson, named Feng Zhuoyi.

From then on, the Feng family lived a harmonious life.

There was no second house, no Duke Zheng's Mansion, and no second prince.

Feng Tianxing still practiced and played with Yun Ranqing without thinking every day.

The celebration banquet the next day was more lively than ever.

Although Feng Zuwen had been decreed to be the King of Zhenyuan before, he was not given the royal seal because he was away. At the celebration banquet, Yun Hongxiao solemnly handed the royal seal, which symbolized his status, to Feng Zuwen in front of all the court officials.

Feng Zuwen took it respectfully, and then looked at the emperor. Seeing the smile in the other's eyes, Feng Zuwen felt relieved to accept the emperor's kindness.

Three days later, the envoy of the Ice and Snow Country requested an audience.

Yun Hongxiao met him in the Yonghe Hall and asked all the ministers who had attended the morning court to be present.

Yesterday, several ministers had already thought of all the advantages and listed them, and handed them to Yun Hongxiao.

Yun Hongxiao looked at them and felt that his ministers had probably been suppressed for too many years, and the demands they made were more and more, which was really a lion's mouth.

But Yun Hongxiao liked it.

It all depends on how you bargain.

Yun Hongxiao even specially called Feng Tianxing to listen in. Yun Ranqing certainly would not miss it and accompanied him.

"The envoys of the Ice and Snow Country are here to see you." A loud shout came from outside the palace.

Zhou Zongren led three officials from the Ice and Snow Country who came with him into the hall in a dignified manner. They came close and bowed.

"Your Highness, I, Zhou Zongren, the Minister of Rites of the Ice and Snow Country, pay my respects to His Majesty, the Flame Flame. I wish Your Majesty a long life."

The other three also saluted at the same time.

Yun Hongxiao was very happy in his heart. It was so rare.

He could actually enjoy the courtesy of the envoys of the Ice and Snow Country in his life, and they saluted and greeted him so respectfully.

But as a king of a country, you must be magnanimous and not lose your manners.

"Lord Zhou, please don't be polite."

"Your Majesty, I come to ask for peace with the utmost sincerity, just to redeem my Ice and Snow Kingdom's Prince Wu. My emperor has a beloved concubine, Concubine Yuan, who suffers from heart disease. I heard that your princess has good medicine. Please be merciful and save Concubine Yuan. My emperor is willing to pay a high price for it."

Zhou Zongren wasted no time and stated his purpose as soon as he arrived.

He didn't have much time to lose. If he delayed any further, Concubine Yuan would have died.

When he set out, the imperial physician gave him half a year, and now four months have passed.

Even if he gets the medicine, it will take almost a month to return by express horse.

"Huh, you started this war, didn't you just want to force our princess to marry your shitty sixth prince?" Chen Zhizhong snorted coldly and said unhappily.

"It was my country of ice and snow that did something wrong." Zhou Zongren was very humble today, not arguing with others. No matter what they said, he just had to admit his mistakes.

Otherwise, it would go on and on.

"Mr. Zhou, please show your country of ice and snow your sincerity first." As the prime minister, Wu Manjiang would not say angry words in such an occasion.

"Your Majesty, the two cities occupied by your country originally belonged to the Flame Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, so we will not take them back.

In addition, our Ice and Snow Kingdom is willing to give a consolation payment of fifty taels of silver per person to the soldiers who died in the battle.

Our Ice and Snow Kingdom is relatively rich in copper mines, and we can sign an agreement with your country to transport one million kilograms of copper to your country every year, and trade at our domestic prices. The emperor is willing to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy it."

This sincerity is quite fair.

Twenty thousand soldiers died in this battle, which is one million taels of silver. Fifty taels is a high enough number.

The ordinary soldiers who died in the Flame battle were usually given twenty taels.

Two cities were also recaptured.

If we negotiate peace and show enough sincerity, the cities that were originally occupied will be returned. Because it would take a long time for the people of other countries to fully accept the change of a country to rule them.

But the other party simply didn't want it.

The court began to discuss it.

"The Ice and Snow Nation is quite sincere this time."

"Humph, they are asking for help, otherwise they would not be willing to give so many benefits."

"But I think it's not enough. If it weren't for our Lord Feng, no, King Zhenyuan's ability, we might have lost countless cities, and they might even attack our capital directly."

"That's true."

"We should ask them to give us another city, or sell us iron at a fair price, and copper can't be used to make weapons. They are not sincere enough in this regard."

.....

Yun Hongxiao listened to everyone's discussion and raised his hand to suppress them.

"King Zhenyuan, what do you think?" Yun Hongxiao asked, looking at Feng Zuwen who was in the front.

"Father, Sister Feng's medicine is an elixir, how can it be worth two hundred thousand taels of silver? We should ask them to give us a city in exchange, and that city will be Sister Feng's fiefdom. It will be her dowry in the future." Yun Ranqing spoke before Feng Zuwen could speak.

Yun Hongxiao's eyes lit up when he heard it, it was a good idea.

Feng Zuwen also smiled when he heard it, this disciple was not taught in vain. But what does dowry mean?

Now is not the time to think about this: "Well, I second your Highness Ming Wang's idea."

Then a series of "I also second it" were heard.

All the ministers agreed excitedly, and they just didn't raise their hands.
