On the way back to the palace, Liu Xia couldn't help but smile while sitting in the car.

To be honest, his father is definitely an old fox.

It was said that the whole country would be mobilized, but in the end only 200,000 troops were mobilized.

Two hundred thousand is just the total of the northwest border garrison.

Liu Xia estimated that the entire Tianji Dynasty's military strength was around 800,000.

If you include the world's army, it's 1.5 million, which is not a big problem.

However, after all, this is a rebellion along the southeastern coast. If it reaches the point where all the strength of the country is mobilized, I am afraid that the emperor will also have to go on a personal expedition and fight to the death.

In fact, the situation is far from that point.

This time, the armies of the aristocratic families sent out troops one after another, totaling 600,000 people together with the imperial army. These aristocratic families also spent a lot of money.[

The purpose is to divide the Nangong family's property after the Nangong family is destroyed.

The emperor knew this very well, so he offered 200,000 yuan to attract the emperor.

Unexpectedly, we could gather an army of 600,000.

This emperor has already taken everything into account.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia had a headache. It seemed that there was still a long way to go in the future.

Back in the palace, the entire palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Firstly, the New Year is here, and secondly, Liu Xia's wedding is coming, so the palace naturally needs to be repainted and decorated.

"Junior brother, you are back."

After Yixin heard that Liu Xia had returned to the palace, he hurriedly came over and smiled.

"Brother, you are in a good mood today."

Liu Xia asked with a smile.

"You are so promising now, and you are about to become the king of a country. Naturally, I will be happy to follow you. By the way, you, Marquis Ruiwu, are waiting in the living room."

Isshin smiled hurriedly.

"Lingxiao?"

At that moment, Liu Xia took three steps and then two steps towards the living room.[

Duan Lingxiao is the queen of Prince Rui and has the title of Marquis since birth. He must be here today to discuss the details of his marriage.

Entering the living room, Liu Xia hurriedly smiled enthusiastically and said: "Brother Lingxiao, sit down quickly."

Duan Lingxiao's displeasure with Liu Xia was entirely due to the relationship between the second prince and the eldest prince.

After all, he and the second prince, the eldest prince, grew up together and had a very good relationship.

Nowadays, both the crown prince and the second prince are closely related to the demons, and Liu Xia saved his father's life.

Naturally, Liu Xia's view has changed a lot.

"Your Highness, please don't say that. Others may make irresponsible remarks if they hear it."

Duan Lingxiao reminded.

"Brother, that's right. I haven't adapted to my identity yet, haven't I?"

Liu Xia laughed.

"Your Highness, the minister is here today to discuss the route and time of the wedding the day after tomorrow. The decree of the Ministry of Rites has been received. Does your Highness think there is anything else that needs to be changed?"

Duan Lingxiao smiled.

"I don't think it's necessary. As long as Lingling doesn't have any objections, I can say anything. To be honest, I've been really busy these days."

Liu Xia smiled awkwardly.

At this time, the servants served tea to Liu Xia, while Duan Lingxiao added water.

At this moment, Liu Xia smelled a faint fragrance and couldn't help but look up at the maid serving him tea.

The maid in front of me is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyes are like autumn waves. She is quite pretty.

It had only been a few days since he took over the Prince's Mansion, and the house was very busy, so the servants had not been replaced yet.

After the maid retreated, Duan Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, "This eldest prince really knows how to enjoy himself. Ordinary maids use such precious spices."

"Really? This spice is very expensive?"

After all, Liu Xia was not born as a noble princess, so she didn't know much about these things.

"Of course, the name of this spice is Youmeng. One or two of it is worth five hundred taels of silver. And it's quite valuable."

Duan Lingxiao explained, and after saying this, he continued: "Your Highness, you should be more careful. After all, you have just succeeded to the throne. Don't let those officials seize the opportunity and sue you."

"When Yixin is done with this period of time, I will ask him to reorganize the servants here."

Liu Xia smiled.

"Haha, I just said it casually. Your Highness needs to mind. If Your Highness has no objection to these details, then I will leave. I will wait for you to come to your door at the palace the next day."

Duan Lingxiao laughed hurriedly.

"Leaving now? Why don't you stay for dinner? My uncle came to discuss marriage. It's not okay to go back hungry. Yixin, hurry up and prepare for the banquet."

Liu Xia dragged Duan Lingxiao's sleeves and shouted.

"this……"

Duan Lingxiao saw that Liu Xia couldn't resist his kindness, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, but I'd better drink less wine."

"What are you talking about? You think too much. We will be a family in the future. In the court, how should be done, in my palace, don't be so restricted. I don't have many friends in Longdu. If you

How can I explain to Lingling that I am such a foreigner?"

Liu Xia smiled.

"Is there a banquet?"

At this time, Dabao came in and shouted.

"Don't run away and give me my rabbit back."

At this time, Caiwei also came in quickly.

He snatched the rabbit from Dabao's hand and glared at Dabao angrily.

"Tch, I'm just a poor monk eating a rabbit like you. You're stingy."

Dabao said disdainfully.

"Humph, stinky bald donkey. I bought this rabbit from the city with great difficulty. It is used to make the Sky Eye. If you want to eat it, go and buy it yourself."

Caiwei said angrily.

"Brother, it's just a rabbit. If you want to eat it, just tell the kitchen."

Liu Xia spoke for a while.

Now he was a prince after all. When Duan Lingxiao heard this, he thought he was too poor to take the blame.

"Oh, brother, you don't understand. Your palace is filled with delicacies from all over the world every day. Even the poor monks are tired of eating them. You have to cook this game by yourself."

Dabao said with a smile.

Liu Xia was speechless when he heard this.

At this time, Caiwei held the rabbit in her arms, walked to the edge of the chair, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up Liu Xia's tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Look at you. You are such a big girl. You have no etiquette at all. Didn't you see any guests?"

Liu Xia Nai smiled.

Caiwei turned around, made a face and said, "He is not an outsider. He lost five thousand taels of silver to us last time."

Liu Xia was stunned, and Duan Lingxiao smiled awkwardly and said: "My poker skills are not good, it's a joke, it's a joke."

Liu Xia saw that Dabao and Caiwei were acting like thieves, and he knew without even thinking that his brother-in-law had been taken advantage of.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

At this time, Yao Wenxin entered the room.

Yao Wenxin is still dressed in white, with a smile on her pretty face, looking forward to the glory, and conquering the country and the city.

Duan Lingxiao knew the details of Yao Wenxin and was very afraid of Yao Wenxin.

I couldn't help but feel uneasy about the fact that I was about to marry into the prince's palace.

Although he didn't know the relationship between Liu Xia and Yao Wenxin, he knew from the look on their faces that they were not friends.

"Of course we are talking about your marriage."

Caiwei smiled playfully.
