If they still didn’t agree to terms, they headed to make complaints towards Xie Xuanchen. However, he was far more aggressive and demanding than the Beirong people when he opened his mouth to speak. In the end, Ye Luyan had a headache from all the chaos, so he tried to solve everything internally. If the plans could proceed without the need to disturb Xie Xuanchen, then it would be best to do so.
Weak countries did not have diplomacy and based on the same principle, robbers did not need diplomatic skills either. No matter if there were complaints or conditions, everything ended up going back to Xie Xuanchen’s thoughts on the matter. So in the end, Beirong still had to obediently change the regulations.
The negotiations were so overwhelming that Xie Xuanji was entirely useless. In fact, no one even thought of using him.
Jiang Mingwei was horrified to find that the plot seemed… to have completely run out of control. It’s not just about peace negotiations. As early as the Shangyuan Festival, the plot was forcibly turned and rushed in an unimaginable direction.
An elder brother was still an elder brother; with Xie Xuanchen around, Xie Xuanji would never make it to the top.
Even if Jiang Mingwei was unhappy with it, the peace talks between Beirong and the Ye Dynasty were gradually coming to an end.
On the day Ye Luyan and others left the capital, Mu Mingtang followed a group of noble women and watched the Beirong team leave from the city gate. Before leaving, Xiao Siyi deliberately ran to Mu Mingtang and waved goodbye to her.
Mu Mingtang also smiled and wished her a safe journey. Although she bid her well until their next meeting, Mu Mingtang knew that they weren’t going to see each other again.
If they were ever to meet again after this farewell, it would mean that either Beiron decided to storm the capital, or the Ye Dynasty made a military move against Beirong. Not meeting each other again was the best outcome for both parties.
The envoys of the Beirong went all the way to the north and they brought home a lot of corn silk tea and the peace agreement between the two countries. The imperial court had been busy with the negotiations for a long time. Throughout the past few months, almost every single detail had to be discussed and altered. Now that the Beirong people have left, everyone in the capital, whether they were officials in the court, women in the harem or ordinary people, all heaved a long sigh of relief.
When they came to the capital, the grass was growing and the warblers were flying. Now it was already the end of summer, which was the time where the season was to change into autumn, making the weather unsteadily hot and chilly at times. Inadvertently, summer was over just like that.
The court took a short break and slowly returned to its daily routine. During this period of time, the harem held constant banquets, so no matter whether it was women of the harem or the maids below, everyone was very tired. The palace was very quiet for a few days and it was not until the Mid-Autumn Festival that there was news of another banquet.
It was said that the Emperor was very satisfied with the peace agreement and it just so happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Therefore, they wanted to hold a reunion banquet together to commend the great heroes of the peace negotiation.
