Chapter 567 Silent Night (Part 2)
Princess Qinyang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said: "This... shouldn't be a big deal. After all, this prince is very famous in Wazhen, has many followers, and is the strongest competitor for the next leader. It is only natural to let him come."
There are countless people in this world who seek fame and reputation, but at least Ugle has won battles on horseback.
Even if he is not the smartest, he still has his strengths and advantages.
Ye Chutang nodded, without further conversation, and glanced over there out of the corner of his eye.
Ugler was listening to the discussion of tariffs between the two sides. The ministers on both sides were arguing endlessly, but he frowned slightly, showing a bit of impatience.
There was a sudden noise beside him. Ye Chutang lowered his eyes and met Xiaowu's sparkling eyes.
She held out her hand and gestured.
——They just negotiated down a tax point! This year, there will be a lot of extra money!
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Xiaowu, who was only concerned about eating and drinking, actually listened to those boring conversations.
She had only explained tax-related matters to Ah Yan a few times before, but the little guy remembered it clearly.
Xiaowu started counting on his fingers seriously.
——If we can negotiate one more point, we can collect more silver...
Ye Chutang gently held her hand.
Xiaowu looked up in confusion.
——Why, did she calculate wrong?
Ye Chutang fed her a piece of honey-fried green apricot.
"This looks good, try it."
As Xiaowu took a bite of the candied fruit, his attention was easily diverted and he waved his hands excitedly.
——This is delicious too! Pack them all up and bring them back to my third brother!
Ye Chutang breathed a sigh of relief.
If she hadn't stopped him, Xiaowu would have already settled all the accounts.
This situation is somewhat inappropriate.
Fortunately, Xiaowu didn't notice anything wrong and started eating again with great interest.
Only her erect ears moved occasionally, revealing that she was still paying some attention.
Princess Qinyang was unaware of this little trick. Seeing that Xiaowu liked it, she immediately took her own portion and said with a smile:
"What a greedy little girl! If you have anything you like to eat in the future, just tell your sister! You can eat whatever you want in the Princess's Mansion!"
Xiaowu gave her a big smile.
Princess Qinyang's heart melted and she couldn't help but pinch Xiaowu's soft face.
"Oh, she's just as cute as I was when I was a child! Who wouldn't like this!?"
Ye Chutang: “…”
Thinking of the rumors he had heard before about this devil, Ye Chutang doubted the truthfulness of her words.
She subconsciously looked across, and at that moment she had an urge to verify it.
Princess Qinyang raised her head, followed her gaze, and immediately revealed an ambiguous smile.
"What they said is true! If you like someone, even if you don't say it, it will show in your eyes!"
Ye Chutang: “…”
She turned her head away speechlessly, paused for a moment, and advised earnestly:
"Princess, please read less storybooks in the future."
Princess Qinyang: ???
…
The subsequent peace talks progressed very smoothly.
The banquet is finally coming to an end.
Emperor Muwu said, "It's late today, so we can discuss the rest tomorrow. The eldest prince has led the delegation here from afar, and he must be tired after the journey. He deserves a good rest."
Xiao Chengqi had already ordered people to clean up a mansion in advance, specifically for Ugler and others to stay in.
The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and suddenly they want to cease fire. There are too many things to negotiate, and it cannot be completely resolved in a day or two.
Everyone knows that this is a tug-of-war without any smoke of gunpowder.
Ugle readily agreed.
…
Anhua Palace.
Xiao Chengxuan was locked in the house. There was only one candle burning in the room, making it extremely dark.
There was food on the table that had already gone cold.
Xiao Chengxuan stood by the window and looked towards the direction of Chongyuan Hall.
The palace walls were so thick that he couldn't see anything.
But vaguely, he could still hear the noisy sounds coming from over there.
He knew that tonight was a welcoming party for the Wazhen delegation, and everyone went except him.
A trace of resentment welled up in Xiao Chengxuan's eyes.
He was supposed to be the one to receive the delegation in Chongyuan Hall!
But now, he has nothing!
And all this is thanks to that bitch Xiao Lanxi!
It's a pity that he and Xiao Lanxi were imprisoned separately, otherwise...
no!
He must not be trapped and die here!
Once the Wazhen delegation leaves the capital, he will be exiled to Yizhou immediately!
He had to find a way. Even if he couldn't escape completely, he had to make that bitch pay the price!
…
Yaohua Palace.
There were only guards in the courtyard, making it seem overly deserted and solemn.
Compared with the former bustle, it is now very desolate.
Xiao Lanxi was imprisoned here.
Ever since Jiang Qingmei was banished to the cold palace, the Yaohua Palace has lost its former glory. The reason why Xiao Lanxi was imprisoned here was the eldest princess's idea.
Her original words were: Since Xiao Lanxi had spent the longest time in Yaohua Palace, we should thoroughly investigate this place! Maybe we can find some old clues, who knows!
Xiao Lanxi naturally would not say anything on her own initiative and just let them search.
She remained silent all day, refusing to communicate with anyone, as if she had accepted her fate.
At this time, she sat quietly in the room, like a ghost in the dark night.
Suddenly, the window moved a little.
Xiao Lanxi finally looked in that direction.
A ball of paper was thrown in, and in a trance, a black shadow flashed past the window.
Xiao Lanxi walked over.
She was barefoot, so she made no sound.
Then, she picked up the paper ball and slowly unfolded it——
