Chapter 376 - 376 372 I Cant Retreat Either
?Chapter 376: Chapter 372 I Can’t Retreat Either Chapter 376: Chapter 372 I Can’t Retreat Either It took nearly two months, but the peace negotiations finally concluded. The ultimate agreement involved all four countries ceding a hundred miles of territory each, and exchanging 5,000 horses, cattle, and sheep, as well as all war prisoners, with a treaty signed to not engage in war for the next ten years.
The above were terms that all four countries shared. There were also exchange conditions tailored to the unique resources of each country. For example, the Beiyang Country had an abundance of cattle, horses, and sheep, so they were required to sell more to the Xuanyuan Country every year. The Nanling Country had numerous medicinal materials, so they would need to provide more of those.
Ruo Xuan didn’t pay much attention to the specifics because she was about to get married!
The joyous day for Xuanyuan Que and Ruo Xuan was set in the springtime of March, when a hundred flowers would be in bloom.
A few days before the grand wedding, it was customary for the bride and groom not to see each other.
As such, Ruo Xuan did not seek out the Divine Lord Xuanyuan and stayed at home to watch her family arrange her dowry.
Mrs. Liu and the old Mrs. Lei discussed, “I’ve inquired a bit, and the family of the eighth Prince’s wife prepared only thirty-six dowry carriages. The Gao Family, the Zhu Family have all prepared thirty-six as well. It wouldn’t be good to surpass the eighth Prince’s wife. Should we also visibly prepare thirty-six carriages? But I’m afraid thirty-six carriages won’t hold everything we’ve prepared for Xuanbao.”
Originally, she planned to prepare seventy-eight dowry carriages for Xuanbao. However, since the Emperor commanded that all the Princes marry on the same day in the Imperial Palace, it wouldn’t look right for Xuanbao’s dowry to be much more than the others, at least not publicly.
Old Mrs. Lei nodded, “Everyone is preparing thirty-six carriages; we cannot stand out too much, either. Let’s also prepare thirty-six carriages publicly and squeeze in as much as we can. The rest we’ll prepare in private for Xuanbao.”
The dowry for Ruo Xuan, just from the gifts from her uncles, aunts, and brothers, amounted to more than thirty-six carriages.
Old Mrs. Lei and Mrs. Liu, along with other mothers-in-law, no matter how they tried to pack, felt that thirty-six carriages were far from enough.
The Ruo Family yearned to give Ruo Xuan almost everything they had for her marriage.
