....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as Princess Zhi Shan entered the city, the commoners watching the commotion by the side sized her up curiously. Some were curious, some were praising, and some were picky.
However, most of them still praised her.
Zhou Ying paid close attention to the princess’s expression and found a smile on her face from beginning to end after entering the city. She even waved at the people from time to time.
Not only did her eyes not show any resistance, but she would also take time to curiously size up the buildings on both sides from time to time.
Other than amazement, there was joy in her eyes.
Well, it seemed she was willing to marry over, and she looked very satisfied.
Could it be that she had seen the Emperor?
Ah, when the Emperor negotiated on the Northern Continent, he stayed there for over half a month. There were bound to be members of the royal family who would take a liking to him.
Behind the princess was a carriage full of her luggage, and beside her were some servant girls and women. It was obvious that they were her dowries.
Finally, there were about 2,000 soldiers, and they were escorting these carriages from the city gates to the emissary building.
After they left, Zhou Ying looked at Guoguo and asked, “Is Princess Zhi Shan pretty?”
“Not as pretty as Mommy; she’s tanned.” Guoguo said.
“You’re really my good daughter. Tell me, what do you want to eat today? I’ll allow it.” Zhou Ying smiled.
“I… I want to eat the crystal dumplings! Also, also, the green onion pancake!” Guoguo replied excitedly.
“Alright, add on another serving of egg loofah soup.” Zhou Ying asked someone to serve the dishes and ordered two more side dishes.
After the mother and daughter finished eating, they went home.
Because the emissary arrived from the Northern Continent, the next day was a grand court session. Gu Chengrui did not escape the fate of attending the court session.
After he left, Zhou Ying did not sleep back out of curiosity.
Instead, she opened her divine senses and looked into the palace.
First, it was the same as usual. The morning court session was held first, and many decisions were passed.
The old general was promoted to Duke, and the son of King An—Xiao Heng— and two other generals were in charge of selecting martial examinations and constructing its academy.
However, each prefecture only had one academy and could only carry 50 students.
Finally, Eunuch Qian called in the Northern Continent diplomats who were waiting outside.
Other than Sovereign King Ke, there were two other ministers, one civil and one military.
They stepped forward and bowed after the three of them entered the main hall. “Long live our Emperor! Long live! Long live!”
When the Emperor heard their awkward shouts, he felt good. It was even better than hearing King Hui call him Emperor.
Firstly, it was because he had defeated the former ally of King Hui.
Secondly, the Northern Continent, the troublemaker who had been harassing the Ming Dynasty for many years, finally surrendered.
“Please get up.”
“Thankyou, Emperor.” The three of them stood up.
“This is the list of tributes that my brother asked me to bring. Please accept it, Your Majesty.” Sovereign King Ke handed over a list.
“The King of the Northern Continent is too polite.” The Emperor smiled.
However, he still opened the gift list and quickly glanced at it. Other than the white rustic potato seeds he had asked for previously, there were also many furs, precious herbs, and some treasured gems.
After that, he asked Eunuch Qian to give them his gift in return. Naturally, it was the seeds of the sweet potato and corn. There was nothing else.
After a few polite words, Sovereign King Ke saw that the Emperor did not mention anything about the marriage and asked, “I wonder what the Emperor thinks about the marriage?”
“What does Princess Zhi Shan think? Will she marry me or a member of the royal family?” The Emperor asked in return.
