Chapter 905: I wish you a happy marriage in advance
Xia Ning nodded and handed the imperial edict in his hand to Song Zhuo who was standing beside him. Song Zhuo also bowed very respectfully, took the imperial edict high up, and then examined it carefully.
Of course, he couldn't bear to read the contents inside.
This is the rule. Even if the person comes from the palace, Song Zhuo will still investigate.
Although he didn't know why his aunt and father made such a decision, he thought that they had their reasons.
After checking that everything was correct, Song Zhuo respectfully raised the imperial edict high above his head again and returned it to Lord Xia Ningxia.
"Master Xia, you must have worked hard on the journey. I think you must be very anxious." Song Zhuo's temperament is actually very similar to his grandfather, so he handled the matter impartially and did not dare to delay at all. "Master Xia, do you need me to send someone to help you get to the princess's mansion as soon as possible?"
Today, the princess's mansion is considered the power center of Yong'an County.
Xia Ning waved his hands and looked at the two followers following him: "Deputy General Song, just take care of your own business. I will go on my own."
The two nodded to each other and prepared to part ways.
After his horse moved forward a few steps, Xia Ning turned around and looked at Song Zhuo behind him.
"Deputy General Song, I don't know when I will be able to return after this trip, and I don't know if I can make it in time for your wedding with Miss Guo." When saying this, Xia Ning's eyes were full of sincerity, "In this case, I will take a step ahead of time and wish you and Miss Guo a happy marriage."
After hearing what Xia Ning said, Song Zhuo couldn't help but blush.
Although he was already over twenty years old, he was still somewhat shy about matters between men and women because he had been alone for many years and had no maid to serve him.
Besides, Guo Yueshao was actually someone he cared about, so he felt a little embarrassed when he said that.
But the next moment, he was not shy and bowed respectfully to Xia Ning in front of him: "Thank you, Lord Xia."
But after listening to Lord Xia's words, he suddenly realized that perhaps the purpose of Lord Xia's trip was not simple. It seemed that the decision of his aunt and father might be correct.
I'm afraid the world is really unstable nowadays.
Just as my grandfather said long ago, the more peaceful the world is and the more stable the situation is, the more vigilant those who march and fight should be.
Sometimes, the hidden dangers buried beneath this calm are more worthy of attention.
Watch Xia Ning continue heading west to the princess's mansion.
Seeing his figure gradually disappear, Song Zhuo turned around and nodded to the brothers behind him: "Be alert and pay attention these days."
Although no one knew why Song Zhuo suddenly became so alert.
However, they still respected this young master who came from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.
Apart from other things, he was not as arrogant as the young nobles in the capital. In the army, he was very kind and amiable to his subordinates and the people.
He lives a simple life and shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. It must be said that although he is young, he is extremely strict with himself and is brave on the battlefield, although sometimes a little reckless.
But he is young after all, so it is understandable if he makes some mistakes.
Overall, this Deputy General Song is still convincing. In fact, his temperament is very much like that of an old marquis.
Xia Ning said goodbye to Song Zhuo and continued his journey westward towards the princess's mansion. To be honest, he was quite excited.
Before coming, His Majesty summoned him into the palace, and he stayed in His Majesty's Longsheng Palace for nearly two hours.
Not to mention the plan that His Majesty had worked out with him, just Pei Chuyan's background was enough to shock him.
He really could not have imagined that Pei Chuyan, the son of Duke Anguo who was always praised in the capital, would actually be an heir to the royal family of Dali Kingdom.
And he is the offspring of that noble and handsome eldest prince.
Pei Chuyan, he had come into contact with him.
No wonder he is so wise and courageous at such a young age. He has indeed lived up to his biological father's reputation.
He also did not lose face for his adoptive father, Duke Anguo.
Although he is now the eldest son of Duke Anguo, he has not sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. Instead, he has made a name for himself in the capital through his own efforts.
You know, now there is only Pei Chuyan as the heir left in the Anguo Mansion. If he wants to inherit the title of Duke, it is not impossible.
But he also heard that the emperor had repeatedly asked him to return to the palace to handle government affairs, but he insisted on staying by the queen's side to protect her.
Perhaps, he wants to use his own abilities to carve out a new world for himself.
Speaking of the eldest prince, it's a pity.
The eldest prince did have some talents. Not only the emperor of the Dali Kingdom, but also the common people had high hopes for this prince.
Everyone knew that if the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, with his ability, the Dali Kingdom would likely surpass the Dachu Kingdom.
Although in Xia Ning's eyes, he believed that the Lu Ao he knew would not let him down.
However, he was also happy to see the situation where Dali and Dachu developed together.
But no one expected that the much anticipated eldest prince of the Dali Kingdom would die before the emperor.
Therefore, the death of the eldest prince made all these beautiful visions come to nothing.
Or it can be said that the death of the eldest prince was not only a loss to the Dali Kingdom, but also a regret for the entire era.
Xia Ning longed for stability in his heart, so he knew that only if the two countries could prosper together could eternal peace between the two countries be guaranteed.
As long as one side is strong and the other side is weak, conflicts will break out sooner or later.
Isn't the Yuefeng Kingdom an example?
However, if the Dali Kingdom was supported by Pei Chuyan, perhaps things would be different.
For some reason, after learning that Pei Chuyan was the son of the former eldest prince of Dali Kingdom, the way he looked at Pei Chuyan was different.
Now he felt that Pei Chuyan was actually very similar to the eldest prince in character.
If he could smoothly take over the government of Dali from King Yixuan when he returned to Dali this time, perhaps Dali would have another prospect for development.
Everyone has some understanding of King Yixuan, but there is still a little gap.
When the eldest prince was alive, he always put the eldest prince at the center and just helped the eldest prince deal with some affairs.
But if he were asked to really become an emperor and handle state affairs, it would be somewhat difficult for him.
But come to think of it, Princess Yixuan was a general in the army in the past. If she is there to support them, they can hold on for a while.
He felt that his eldest prince or second prince was much stronger than Prince Yixuan.
He had also witnessed the Second Prince's abilities.
