The group flew directly to the martial arts training ground of Prince Chen's mansion. When the butler heard the voice, he had already ordered people to prepare the meal, and he came here to wait in person. When he saw someone coming down, he went over to greet them.

"Dinner has been prepared, Your Majesty, Princess, General Sima has prepared hot water, you can go wash up and change clothes first. The rest of you, please follow the palace guards to wash up and eat."

In the palace, the emperor was worried about the chaos caused by the Qian family's shops in various places, which affected the people. After the morning court session, he went to talk to the imperial teacher for a few words to seek peace of mind.

Imperial Master: "Your Majesty, the people are busy farming after receiving their food and seeds, so who would pay attention to the Qian family's shop?"

Emperor: "In some places, the Qian family owns as many as half of the shops. I really underestimated them. Now many merchants are taking advantage of this opportunity to seize shops, and more and more cases are happening in various places."

Imperial Master: "Only when all kinds of monsters and demons are stirred up will they come out. Only when these big poisonous sores are pulled out can the country have a stable atmosphere for a while."

Emperor: "The prison of the Ministry of Justice is full. They dared to assassinate Chen'er. I will not let any of them off easily. There are also people sent by various countries. At this time, Anguo can no longer withstand the war. I don't know what to do for a while!"

Imperial Master: "Everything is predetermined. Your Majesty, just relax and wait."

Emperor: "What did the Imperial Master predict?"

Imperial Master: "It is a waste of effort to carry water with a bamboo basket. When the water flows smoothly, things will be smooth sailing. After this disaster, you will rise to the top and the country will be safe and secure in three to five years. Your Majesty should be happy, the royal family's happy event is coming."

Emperor: "The marriage between Chen'er and Miss Xu? It's a big mess right now, should we wait until later--"

State Master: "Outsiders have come to snatch the goddess, why wait any longer? It will only add to the uncertainty!"

The emperor suddenly realized: "The Imperial Master is right. Let's get married first when they come back. If we keep those people in prison for a few more days, maybe we can catch some big fish!"

Imperial Master: "That's right. Three days from now will be an auspicious day."

Emperor: "Isn't three days too hasty?"

Imperial Master: "Your Majesty, you are so sincere in your marriage proposal. Congratulations to the Emperor for finally getting your wish come true!"

Emperor: "I have talked to Chen'er several times, but he refused. If I tell him now, will he agree?"

State Master: "Now that he has someone to protect, he is naturally willing. Anguo wants to make a big change, which affects the interests of too many people. Only the highest position will have a chance of success. King Chen is clear about this."

Emperor: "I hope so. I have been trapped for too long. I have forgotten the taste of freedom outside the palace. It is finally over. I have to urge the Ministry of Rites again. The Queen has been preparing. The treasury is empty, so it would be good to get more. Miss Xu deserves the best, but An Guo can't give her now. The only thing she can offer is the Queen."

Imperial Master: "After the Emperor granted them marriage, the news spread to all the countries. People from all the countries came to the capital in the name of congratulations, saving the trouble of sending people to notify them."

The Emperor: "Yes, yes, I will send someone to inform them. Since they are here, we must entertain them."

The funny thing is that the people sent by various countries are basically in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. They tried many ways but couldn't even meet. Receiving the emperor's letter was like being slapped in the face. Not only did they come uninvited, but they also sent people to assassinate the groom, who was still locked up in the Ministry of Justice. I don't know what the situation is now, let alone what the Emperor Anguo knows?

In the afternoon, all the countries sent people to the palace to meet the emperor. Except for the Crown Prince of Dongyi who came in person, the other countries came to meet the emperor as "merchants", and the main point was that Emperor Anguo might not know who was sent by each country.

I saw the Dongyi lady, her white clothes were whiter than snow, her long hair was tied up in a jade-like bun, which made her look slender and free and easy. She was smiling and talking, like a handsome young man in white clothes in this world, with a special grace, cheerful and upright, and a beautiful widow's peak on her forehead when she smiled. The kind of beauty that ignored gender made her look like a banished immortal.

The emperor was dazzled when he saw him. He whispered to Defu, "Dong Yi used to use the excuse that the prince was ill and never showed up. Now he has come uninvited. Look at his face. He is probably here for my eldest daughter-in-law. Fortunately, Chen'er will get married in three days. Have someone keep an eye on him these days and don't let him run around."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Our Prince Chen is a man of great stature and domineering spirit. He exudes extraordinary dominance. How can he, who is just a good-looking guy, be compared to him?"

The emperor nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, you go and ask someone to go to Prince Chen's mansion to pass on the decree. Chen'er and Miss Xu will get married in three days."

De Fu: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid they haven't returned yet."

Emperor: "The Imperial Master has come, you can go and announce the decree! It will also allow Chen Wangfu to prepare first. Especially Miss Xu's Goddess Mansion, which has just been renovated, and people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be sent directly to decorate it. She is alone here, without any relatives, and she is wronged. Send a message to the eldest princess and Ling'er, and when Chen'er and the others come back, let them go to the Goddess Mansion to accompany her until she gets married."

De Fu: "Your Majesty is very careful. I will ask someone to do it right away."

The Emperor: "After the banquet, ask Prince Jing and Minister Guo to come to the Imperial Study."

Defu agreed, and the emperor signaled him to go do business. Most of them were "merchants" from various countries. The emperor sat for a while and then left on some pretext. King Jing and the ministers were left to accompany him, and the topic was always about the goddess.

Prince Dongyi: "I heard that the goddess is only 28 years old. Is she really as divine as the rumors say?"

King Jing: "That strange rock has troubled me for three years, and neither you nor I can do anything about it. The divine woman has come to eliminate the plague, so what does her ability have to do with her age?"

Prince Dongyi: "Have you seen what happened to that strange rock?"

King Jing: "How can a mortal like you ask about the affairs of God?"

The Dongyi prince was choked repeatedly, closed his mouth, lowered his eyelids, and thought to himself: "If there is such a magical power, this prince must take her down!"

Xishu: "I heard that the epidemic in your country was also cured by the goddess. In just a few days, almost all the patients in Anguo were cured?"

King Jing nodded happily: "Anguo is protected by the gods. Not only has the epidemic been cured, but even the grain seeds needed by the people are delivered to various cities by the goddess herself using a divine tool. I'm afraid you countries are still worried about having no seeds to plant. Alas! God is always more willing to favor those who accumulate virtue and do good deeds."

The people of Western Shu did not know how much An Guo knew about what they had done, so they retreated in disgrace, not daring to say anything more, lest they make more mistakes and expose their true colors.

Nanzhao wanted to take this opportunity to sell grain to Anguo at a high price, but after hearing what King Jing said, he stopped talking. The Xiongnu did not grow grain, but they had lost more than half of their horses, cattle and sheep. They came here to find an opportunity to get some grain. Seeing that all the countries had failed to get what they wanted, they simply did not ask for anything. They would think of a solution after leaving the palace.

Although the talks were not concluded, they had a great time eating the delicious food that had just become popular in Yipinlou, the capital! They had been queuing for several days, but it was not their turn yet, so today's trip to the palace was worthwhile. After leaving the palace, they touched their bloated stomachs, still savoring the taste, and continued to queue up at Yipinlou.
