Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
"Who is this...?"
Looking at a woman alighting from a carriage in the distance, Liu Qian couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression.
This was the first time he had ever seen a woman on a diplomatic mission.
The Ministry of Rites was only notified that a delegation from the Yuwen tribe was coming, but he did not know much about the purpose of the delegation.
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Qi smiled and explained, "This is my younger sister, named Yuwen Rong!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian immediately looked up.
With just one glance, Liu Qian immediately felt his heart race.
Yuwen Rong had long, black hair styled into two long braids that draped over her chest. Her large eyes and delicate nose gave her an ethereal and graceful appearance.
The Yuwen Rong before him completely overturned Liu Qian's previous impressions of the women on the grasslands.
However, Liu Qian was slightly dazed before shifting his gaze and leading Yuwen Qi toward the Ministry of Rites' office.
Nowadays, the efficiency of Han Dynasty officials is quite remarkable.
Shortly afterward, the Ministry of Rites completed the registration of the identities, names, and gifts brought by the Yuwen delegation.
After everything was settled, Yuwen Qi looked at Liu Qian and asked, "May I ask, Master Liu, when will His Majesty the Emperor summon us?"
Liu Qian smiled and said, "Regarding your registration, it will first be sent to the Cabinet. After the Cabinet approves it, it will be transferred to the Deyang Hall. After the Emperor approves it, you will be summoned."
As for the exact time, it should be around three days!
"That's good!!"
Hearing that it wouldn't be long, Yuwen Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Qian smiled and said, "Alright, Your Excellency, please come with me to the guesthouse to rest and wait!"
Yuwen Qi bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Steward Liu!"
Subsequently, the Yuwen delegation followed Liu Qian toward the guesthouse.
Along the way, Yuwen Qi kept asking Liu Qian about various Confucian doctrines, and Liu Qian patiently answered his questions with a kind expression.
Yuwen Rong, who was walking behind, would occasionally steal glances at Liu Qian, who was chatting and laughing with her brother.
This was the first time she had come into close contact with Han Dynasty scholars since arriving in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Qian's refined demeanor and confident speech gave Yuwen Rong, who was used to seeing rugged men from the grasslands, a different feeling.
