After hearing this, Rong Shen slowly opened the wooden box and said, "This is the jade seal of the Sheng Kingdom."

"I give it to you, which also symbolizes that I hand over the territory of Shengguo to you."

Rong Shen raised his lips and smiled, "I said, I will use Sheng Guo as a betrothal gift to marry you."

"I did it."

Xie Chunchao looked at the shiny and simple jade seal in the wooden box, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.

She carefully picked up the jade seal in the wooden box and felt it warm, smooth and smooth.

Such a small thing symbolizes supreme power. It can easily decide a person's life or death, and can even easily change the appearance of a place.

As long as it gives an order, it can move mountains to flat ground and build new homes on lakes.

She knew that it was not it that had the real power, but the people behind it, the supreme imperial power behind it.

Rong Shen asked softly, "Are you happy?"

Xie Chunchao was very happy.

While she was happy, she also had some other desires in her heart. She wanted to be the person behind it.

She put down the jade seal and said honestly, "I'm very happy."

The news of Sheng's defeat finally spread back to Xia, and the whole Xia Kingdom was in a state of excitement.

In order to celebrate this great event, Xia State held a celebration banquet and discussed merits and rewards at court meetings.

Xie Chunchao did not go to the court meeting, but her reward was not less.

Rong Shen spoke out one by one about her contribution in this battle without any secret.

Therefore, although she was not allowed to go to court, the Emperor of Xia still sent a eunuch symbolizing imperial power to the post house to read out the imperial edict to reward her.

Considering the special nature of her status, Xu did not give her the title of princess or princess but gave her the corresponding fiefdom and food.

However, she was originally the princess of the Chu Kingdom, and would be the crown princess and queen of the Xia Kingdom in the future.

If she were to be given the title of princess again, the title of the princess would always be a bit strange.

The wedding of Rong Shen and Xie Chunchao is also on the agenda. This is not the first time she and he have married.

But this wedding was obviously much grander than the last one.

She was temporarily moved to the Royal Courtyard to be married, and she also received a letter from Chu State.

This time, the emperor's father and mother are not allowed to go to the wedding due to their status, but his brother will come.

Xie Chunchao got the news from Rong Shen in advance that her brother would come, so she was not particularly surprised when she received the letter, but she was still very happy at the thought of seeing her brother.

Preparations for the wedding are in full swing, and despite the festivities, there are of course undercurrents and controversies.

The biggest controversy was that the prince actually gave away all the prosperous country that Xia Kingdom had worked so hard to conquer.

This made many Xia soldiers dissatisfied, and even the civil servants felt that the prince was intoxicated by beauty.

In addition, Xie Chunchao's previous actions in Shengguo made these people instinctively afraid...

They wrote letters one after another to dissuade Rong Shen from being dazzled by beauty and giving away the territory Xia had worked so hard to conquer to other countries.

Some people even said in the excerpts that the Xia Kingdom would be destroyed by doing this, so it would be better to open the city gates and pray for surrender now and become a vassal of the Chu Kingdom.

But Rong Shen ignored all these tricks. Seeing that they could not persuade Rong Shen, the ministers secretly scolded Xie Chunchao.

Of course, they didn't dare to scold Xie Chunchao in public, so they could only curse a few words in private to relieve their hatred.

Xie Chunchao also heard about the rumors outside, and she also had a plan in mind to deal with it.

Three days before the wedding, Xie Ningyu finally arrived in Jianyang.

Now she is getting married, and according to custom, she should not go out and walk around again before getting married.

But Xie Chunchao always followed his own will and did not pay attention to these customs and dogmas. She was going to pick up her brother, regardless of customs. Even if the King of Heaven stopped her, she still had to go out.

In front of the gate of Jianyang City, the ceremonial guard from Chu State entered the city in a mighty manner. There were already hundreds of officials headed by Rong Shen to greet them at the gate of the city.

When Xie Chunchao arrived, she happened to see Rong Shen talking to Xie Ningyu.

The longing for the princess she hadn't seen for many months made her forget about the princess's manners, so she waved from a distance and shouted, "Brother!"

When Xie Ningyu heard the shout from his sister, he immediately raised his eyes and looked over. When his eyes fell on Xie Chunchao, a little surprise appeared in his eyes. He left Rong Shen behind, strode forward, and asked,

"How did you come?"

"Shouldn't you be waiting to be married in another courtyard?"

He then thought of something again and shook his head in a funny way, "Forget it, how can the other hospital lock you up?"

"You." Xie Ningyu said, tapping her forehead and saying, "You really scared us to death this time."

Xie Chunchao stuck out his tongue nonchalantly and asked, "Why are you scared? Isn't the result very good?"

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for so long, so don't blame me anymore." Xie Chunchao took advantage of the situation and put his arm around his brother and asked, "Brother, don't you miss me?"

"Yes, of course I miss you." Xie Ningyu said with a smile, "You have been away these days, and no one has given me any advice."

When Xie Chunchao was around, he would often make suggestions for him.

After Xie Chunchao left, everything could only be decided by himself.

During this period, he was tortured by government affairs to the point that he lost all his hair.

This time, I finally managed to put aside those annoying government affairs and come to Xia Kingdom to see my sister.

He made up his mind to stay in Xia Kingdom for a while.

My father is still going strong, so let him do those torturous things for now.

Xie Chunchao asked, "Isn't Bai Qiusheng here? You can ask him."

Xie Ningyu sighed softly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, "How can he compare with you?"

Even though Bai Qiusheng is a genius, to Xie Ningyu, he is always a layer away...

It's not that I don't trust him, but I can't trust him the same way I trust my own sister.

Xie Chunchao heard this and was about to speak when Rong Shen came over.

He said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could bring you with me."

Xie Chunchao tilted his head and said mischievously, "I can't even see your face these days, how can I tell you?"

Rong Shen's eyes were helpless, "According to custom, men and women cannot meet before marriage... But if you have something to say to me, just ask my servants to tell me."

Xie Chunchao smiled and stopped embarrassing him, saying, "I was also anxious and forgot to tell you."

"It's just..." Xie Chunchao asked, "When did you become so... um, superstitious?"

He wasn't like this when they first got married.

Rong Shen lowered his eyes and said, "They say that men and women don't meet before marriage, but they will love each other for life and grow old together after marriage."

Rong Shen never believed in ghosts and gods. He stayed in the temple for many years and the gods and Buddhas never helped him.

But after Xie Chunchao became involved in everything, he wanted to do his best and was willing to believe in those unreasonable customs...

Just for a good sign.

Xie Chunchao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and reassured him, "Falling in love and growing old are never related to these things."

"Instead of believing in them, you might as well believe in me." (End of Chapter)
