Chapter 309 Gift
No matter what others think, Emperor Xuanwu was really happy.

So much so that when he had the Japanese envoy dragged to the side so as not to block others from presenting gifts, his tone seemed particularly cheerful.

Of course, the envoys from other countries who came to offer gifts later were not happy about this.

No one would have thought that the Crown Princess of Tiansheng, who seemed very easy to get along with, would actually be the one with the toughest attitude towards foreign invasion among all the emperors and crown princes of Tiansheng.

If it doesn't concern them, they don't care.
After all, the Princess of Tiansheng just said that the great country of Tiansheng has no intention of actively invading other countries.

But the problem is...

We have been neighbors for so many years, so there are bound to be some frictions.

Especially countries like Annan, what they did before was similar to what Japan did.
They sent people to pretend to be pirates and burn, kill, loot and so on along the coast of Tiansheng... They have been doing this for many years and there have been no major problems.

But now Tiansheng suddenly took action against Japan.
Then what will happen next is...

The envoys from small countries who had old grudges against Tiansheng were all in a panic, as if a sword was suddenly hanging over their heads.

On the contrary, Emperor Xuanwu was extremely happy.

After receiving the gifts from the envoys of various countries, he began to wait expectantly for the gifts from the princes and princesses.

As usual, they are arranged in order of age, but because there is one less eldest prince this year,

So the gifts were given first to the third prince.

What he sent was a long scroll of prayer scriptures, which, as expected, were written by him himself.
Of course, this is not important.

What’s more important is that there are also prayer patterns carefully drawn on it, stroke by stroke, by countless people who went to the temple when this scripture was sent to the temple for consecration.

Maybe it's not refined enough, but it shows sincerity.

Emperor Xuanwu was now well-off in both the state and private treasuries, so he was obviously very happy to receive such a thoughtful gift.
After letting Li Dehai accept the scripture, he waved his sleeves generously:
"Old Third is thoughtful, so I'll give you a reward!"

"My son, thank you very much, Father!"

The third prince quickly thanked him:
"I just don't know... can I choose this reward myself?"

"You want to choose for yourself?"

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Tell me what you want."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have long been attracted to the eldest daughter of the Tang family and would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me marriage!"

As soon as the Third Prince said this, there was an uproar in the Linde Palace again.

The main reason is that the Third Prince is now eighteen years old, and it is time for him to marry a wife.

As a prince, he didn't even have a beautiful girl in his backyard. Over the past year, countless noble families in the capital wanted to marry their unmarried daughters to him.

But he rejected them all on the grounds that he had no intention of getting married.

Now the Third Prince has taken the initiative to ask His Majesty to grant him a marriage, but the person he wants to marry is Tang Xinhua, who has been divorced once?
The families whose marriage proposals were rejected before were very angry.
Those who had nothing to do with the matter looked curiously at the girl with a gentle temperament sitting next to Tang Yuanlin.

Even Yun Shu subconsciously glanced at Tang Xinhua after hearing the Third Prince's request.
Seeing that my cousin only lowered her eyes slightly, with a little blush on her face, but she didn't look surprised at all,
I couldn't help but sigh:
"The Third Brother really caught up with us."

"What are you chasing? The eldest daughter of the Tang family?"

Yun Chuhuan was sitting next to her and heard her sigh with his sharp ears. His eyes widened immediately:
"Why are you chasing her? Did Miss Tang take something from him and run away?"

Yun Shu: “?”

She picked up Yun Chuhuan's chopsticks, picked up a braised lion's head and stuffed it into his mouth:

"Be good, go eat."

Yun Chuhuan: “Mmmmm!”

No matter how others view the marriage between the Third Prince and Tang Xinhua,

After all, the Third Prince and Tang Xinhua were happy with it, and Emperor Xuanwu also issued an edict to grant their marriage.
Then, no one could say a bad word in public. The Third Prince happily received the imperial decree granting him marriage. Yun Chuhuan, who had just swallowed a braised lion's head with great difficulty, was overwhelmed with envy when he saw his happy look.

"That's great, my third brother is getting married.

Fifth sister, do you think I should lend those cool lines I prepared to my third brother first?"

Yun Shu: “???”

"You should keep such a good thing for yourself."

Yun Shu decisively rejected him on behalf of Tang Xinhua:

"Have you forgotten? There is a classic line in the domineering prince's dialogue that says, 'If this is not unique to me, then I would rather not have it.'

Believe me, your lines need to be spoken by fewer people to be cool enough, otherwise they will be everywhere. "

"That's true."

A word awakens the dreamer,

Yun Chuhuan nodded solemnly:

"Then I won't send you off."

"Ah."

now it's right.

Otherwise, what if on the wedding night, my cousin was so tempted by the Third Emperor that she ran away in a carriage at night? Wouldn’t the Third Emperor cry to death?
……

After the third prince presented his gift, it was the fourth prince's turn.

After the Fourth Prince, it was Yun Shu’s turn and her mysterious gift of “epoch-making” significance, which had already been spread across the country through Tiansheng Weekly.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Yun Shu.

However, the next moment, they heard Li Dehai's shrill voice slowly singing out the name of the Sixth Prince.

Everyone: "??"

Yun Chuhuan, who was also confused, said: "???"

"Why did you jump to me all of a sudden?"

Yun Chuhuan spat out the half-eaten chicken wing in his mouth and was dumbfounded:
"Fifth sister, where is your gift?"

"My gift is a bit big and not suitable for display in the Linde Hall, so I moved it to the end."

Knowing that Yun Chuhuan was not the only one who had this question, Yun Shu simply raised his voice a little.
Answering for everyone at once:
"After you finish sending them off, we can move to the outside of the Linde Hall."

"Outside the palace again?"

Yun Chuhuan subconsciously thought of the fireworks display he had seen last year.
Could it be that this year's gift is similar?
Yun Chuhuan was so curious that he felt like a cat scratching his heart. He hurriedly asked someone to send his gift over, and then he finished his congratulations at a very fast speed, as if he was in a hurry.

The group finally reached the outside of the hall as they had wished.

"Fifth sister, where should we look today?"

As soon as he went out, Yun Chuhuan rubbed his hands impatiently:

"Still looking up to the sky?"

"Today's words..."

Yun Shu stretched out a finger and slowly pointed to the empty bluestone road on the left side of the Linde Hall:
"Just go this direction."

"This way?"
