After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 678: Unworthy of reuse

Xia Wanniang looked up and said, "Well, it was brewed last year. I haven't drunk it yet, so I don't know how it tastes. It was originally intended for His Highness the Eleventh Prince to entertain guests."

Wu Hanyu looked at the transparent goblet in his hand and said, "This cup is quite special. I wonder if my sister has it for sale?"

"If you like it, I'll give you some." Xia Wanniang said, looking at the civil officials beside her: "My lords, please hold the cups carefully. These cups are not cheap. If they are broken, you will have to pay for them."

The civil officials were still admiring the cups in their hands. They had never seen such crystal clear cups, which were so beautiful that they looked like works of art.

Everyone's face turned unhappy when they heard her words.

Xia Wanniang didn't mind the trouble, and turned to look at the generals behind her: "If you like it, I will have someone send some to your house later. This wine is most suitable for women, and it can improve their beauty."

The general was so happy: "Thank you, Princess Zhenguo."

"You're welcome. I'll send out invitations some day and invite you all to my house. I've also brought some specialties from the northwest, and I'm sure you all will be interested." Xia Wanniang invited people directly in front of Wu Xiao.

The civil officials wanted to accuse her of forming a clique for personal gain, but when they thought of the way she had just challenged others, they swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

"Since the imperial sister has been given to Little Eleven, we can't favor one over the other." The Eighth Prince stepped forward and said.

Xiao Chiye whispered in her ear: "Eighth Prince."

Xia Wanniang shrugged nonchalantly, "Xiao Shiyi went to the dock to pick me up, so it's only right that I give him something as a thank you gift. But, Eighth Brother, it seems like you haven't even visited me in such a long time since I came back. If we're talking about a meeting gift, shouldn't it be given by you, as a brother, to me, as a sister?"

The Eighth Prince's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He never expected that Xia Wanniang would not give him any face at all.

Xia Wanniang has always been a person who respects me a lot. If you want to gain anything from her, what do you want?

Wu Xiao was sitting there watching the show and was very happy. It turned out that he had made the right decision to find the two of them back.

In just one morning, the civil officials were defeated, which made the military generals very impressed.

At this time, Gong Yushi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to discuss business."

Wu Xiao put aside his desire to watch the show this time and asked people to take away the wine glasses and fruit peels from their hands: "This time, envoys from various countries will arrive in the capital one after another. I wonder who among you can be responsible for receiving them?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.

Wu Xiao looked at the civil officials and asked, "What do the Honglu Temple say?"

Qing Yaocheng walked out of the queue and saluted towards Wu Xiao: "Your Majesty, there are too many envoys coming this time. There is a generation gap between us in many aspects of language. We are afraid that we cannot receive them."

Xia Wanniang: "Is this person from the Qingfeng family?"

Xiao Chiye didn't know much about the officials in the court, so he could only look at Wu Hanyu.

Wu Hanyu introduced him to them in a low voice: "He is the eldest son of the second branch of the Qing family and the person with the highest official position in the court."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "I understand."

Wu Xiao looked at the little movements of the few people, but didn't say anything. He turned to look at the Ministry of Rites: "What do the Ministry of Rites say?"

The Minister of Rites came out and said, "Your Majesty, we are currently busy with the Eleventh Prince's wedding and we really don't have any staff available. Besides, hasn't the Honglu Temple always been in charge of receiving foreign envoys?"

Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye: "Aren't they from the same camp?"

Wu Hanyu smiled and nodded: "The one standing on the side of the Honglu Temple is the eighth prince, and the one standing on the side of the Minister of Rites is the seventh prince, his mother's family."

Wu Xiao looked grim, and looked at the officials present: "With so many officials in Daxia, can't we even find someone to receive us?"

No one spoke. Receiving envoys was not an easy job. If the reception was good, it would be a credit. But if the reception was not good, it might cause disputes between the two countries.

Now the army outside the Great Wall is ready to take action, and no one dares to take the risk to do such a thing.

Xia Wanniang looked at them and shook her head, thinking that they were timid and cowardly, and not worthy of being used in important positions.

All that thought was spent on intrigue. If it had been used in the right place, I'm afraid the national strength of Daxia would have been raised to a higher level.
