OK!
This is what Rong Ning wanted.
The Southern Dynasties lacked high-quality warhorses. With these warhorses from the Great Jing Dynasty, they could be gradually bred. You can't get fat overnight, but over time, they will eventually become strong.
Rong Ning bowed deeply to the envoy and sincerely said, "Lord Li, thank you for your hard work this time. On behalf of the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, I thank you, Lord Li!"
"Your Highness is too kind. This is all what I should do. Unfortunately, the Great Jing Dynasty has very strict management of warhorses. Our Southern Dynasty has no shortage of fine silks, but they are unwilling to provide more warhorses. In the end, we only managed to negotiate three thousand warhorses, which is far too few. I am truly ashamed!"
“Something is better than nothing!” Rong Ning replied with a smile.
With everything settled, the Southern Dynasty delegation prepared to return home. The day before their departure, the Great Jing Dynasty hosted a farewell banquet for the Southern Dynasty delegation.
It was a state banquet, so Rong Ning could only sit in her usual spot and could not sit next to her elder sister; she could only watch from afar.
Luo Chuan sat next to Rong Ning, also looking in Rong Yang's direction, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.
Before the palace banquet ended, Rong Ning still begged the Emperor of Da Jing to let her have a few last words with Rong Yang alone.
The emperor agreed.
Before parting, one has a thousand words in their heart but doesn't know how to express them.
Rong Yang held Rong Ning's hand tightly, feeling very reluctant to part. During the past few days that Rong Ning had been in Da Jing, Rong Yang's heart had found its place. Now that she was leaving, the anxiety and fear she had felt when she first arrived in Da Jing returned to her heart.
But she dared not speak, and only held Rong Ning in her arms, silently weeping.
Rong Ning felt the chill on her shoulder and a sharp pain in her heart. She gently patted her back to comfort her and said, word by word, "Sister... don't cry. From now on, every year, no matter what method or means I use, I will come to Dajing to see you."
"good..."
"I know you always keep your word!"
"Sister is waiting for you!"
In this way, there will at least be some hope for the days to come in this vast and deep palace.
The palace banquet had ended, and Rong Ning could not linger for too long. Rong Yang escorted her to the palace gate, earnestly instructing her to take good care of herself. Seeing Luo Chuan standing in the distance, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Luo Chuan bowed deeply to Rong Yang from afar, always holding him in the highest esteem.
Rong Ning had no choice but to leave the palace. She stood at the palace gate with Luo Chuan, watching her elder sister gradually disappear before their eyes through the slowly closing palace gate.
Luo Chuan sighed and said gently, "Your Highness... let's go..."
"good..."
Rong Ning nodded.
The next day, the Southern Dynasty delegation set off early in the morning. As before, the Crown Prince of Yan, Xuan Xunchuan, accompanied them. He led the Southern Border Army of the Great Jing Dynasty and escorted the Southern Dynasty delegation all the way to the banks of the Muyang River.
Putting aside the positions of the two countries, Rong Ning personally likes Xuan Xunchuan very much.
So when they parted ways on the banks of the Muyang River, Rong Ning bid farewell very amicably, "Your Highness, until we meet again!"
Xuan Xunchuan smiled frankly and replied, "Princess Ningding, until we meet again!"
As long as there is no war, everyone can talk things out.
The Southern Dynasty delegation hurried back to Kangye City to rest.
By the time they arrived in Kangye City, it was already dark. Rong Ning made arrangements for the remaining miscellaneous matters and then returned to her residence.
As usual, Xie Chong was waiting at the door, dressed in a light gray robe, tall and elegant.
Hmm...this person seems more attractive than she was when she went to Dajing.
Xie Chong ran down the steps and helped her dismount. He said, "A Ning... I've already had food and hot water prepared. Eat something first, then take a bath and get a good night's sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"good..."
Rong Ning did not refuse.
The food was all her usual favorites; she didn't know when Xie Chong had figured out her preferences.
Xie Chong ate with her, occasionally putting food on her plate. The two of them didn't usually have much time together, so Rong Ning took this opportunity to ask him what he had been doing for the past two months.
Xie Chong seemed to become interested in this.
He said that during the past two months, he followed Chu Pingfeng to Yanhe County, where he led the people to reclaim fields and plant rice seedlings. He also went with them to dredge waterways to prevent the farmland from being flooded by torrential rains during the rainy season.
He also helped the government with many things, which were small but very fulfilling.
Xie Chong's eyes shone as he spoke.
Hmm...that's how it should be!
As he spoke, Rong Ning, having eaten and drunk her fill, contentedly put down her chopsticks and rubbed her round belly with a sigh.
"Xie Chong, I will only get busier in the future, and I may not be able to return to Nanyang City for more than half a year. So I will be at ease if you can find something to do and do it happily. Only in this way will you not be bored and lose your direction in Nanyang City."
Hearing her say that, Xie Chong felt a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He said seriously, "A Ning... I know you have more important things to do, so you don't need to worry about me or the trivial matters in Kangye City. I will handle it!"
"Okay... thank you!"
Thank you?
Xie Chong was stunned for a moment, then said blankly, "A Ning, we are husband and wife, there's no need to be so polite!"
couple?
ah!!
Rong Ning clutched her head in frustration, "Sorry, I still haven't gotten used to this identity switch!"
Subconsciously, she and Xie Chong were in a similar relationship as friends.
And they're just ordinary friends.
Xie Chong lowered his head, looking like he was about to cry from being bullied.
Rong Ning felt a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Well... I'll hand over some of my businesses to you to manage later. I'm just too busy, and I might not be able to handle these things."
