Chapter 309 The Chu State Envoy Arrives

"Your Highness, in one more day, we will reach the capital."

A hundred miles outside the capital, the Chu delegation was advancing slowly.

The beautiful woman in a purple dress lifted the curtain and looked inside, and said with emotion: "Daxia is really a great place."

The subordinates' eyes were also filled with greed: "Yes, this endless fertile land is really suitable for farming."

Such a good place is what they dream of.

pity……

The Princess of Chu narrowed her eyes, turned around and asked, "Where is the fifth brother?"

"Your Highness is in front, talking to King Jing. Do you want me to go and call him?"

The Princess of Chu shook her head: "No need."

The curtain closed and the carriage continued to move forward.

At the front of the team, King Jing was riding on a black horse, and his originally serious face was filled with a bit of lightness.

We are finally arriving in the capital.

It was still winter when he left, but now it was almost summer, and the endless wheat fields on both sides of the road made him feel particularly happy.

Apart from……

"Your Highness Prince Jing, your Great Xia is indeed a good place." The Fifth Prince of Chu kept chattering all the way and did not look steady at all. How could such a person be negotiated?

King Jing looked back at the luxurious carriage behind him. He felt that the princess of Chu was the leader of this peace talk.

At least he looks much more reliable than the fifth prince.

"Is there anything fun in the capital of Daxia?" The fifth prince asked curiously, not caring about King Jing's cold face at all.

King Jing was impatient: "I don't know."

The fifth prince tutted his tongue and said, "It seems that the prince is a boring person and doesn't like to play much."

King Jing thought that when he arrived in the capital, he would let King Duan receive the fifth prince of Chu, as their personalities were a perfect match.

In the capital, the emperor summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple to prepare to receive the Chu delegation.

We cannot neglect the emperor's intentions, but we also don't need to give them too much face. After all, they are a defeated country, so why are they pretending to be so high and mighty?

The officials understood the emperor's meaning and left.

The news that the Chu delegation was coming also spread in the palace.

An Tai found Jiang Sheng very nervously and asked, "Master Jiang, who are the people from Chu who are here this time?"

Even if he didn't come, Jiang Sheng would ask him about the two people who came from Chu State, especially the princess of Chu State. As her bedmate, An Tai should know her very well.

But I didn't expect An Tai to be so impatient and come here on his own initiative.

Jiang Sheng found that An Jiu and his sister were really interesting, especially the older brother. He seemed to be a smart guy, but not much. Everything he showed on his face, and people could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

He suddenly realized his cousin's happiness.

"It's the fifth prince and the sixth princess of Chu."

"Sixth...Sixth Princess?"

An Tai's expression changed.

Jiang Sheng asked knowingly: "Do you know her? I want to know about her."

An Tai: "The Fifth Prince is particularly annoying."

In An Tai's words, the Fifth Prince was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He looked innocent and harmless on the outside, but he was extremely cunning and vicious. He had tried to kill him more than once. If he had not been clever, he would have died eight hundred times already.

As for the Sixth Princess...

An Tai seemed reluctant to mention this person, but he still said: "She is a very good person."

Although there were bad times for him, it must be said that if the princess hadn't protected him, he would have died eight hundred times already.

Jiang Sheng listened to him chattering about trivial matters and roughly understood the personalities of these two people.

When An Jiu came in, Lin San was reporting something. He paused instinctively. The emperor said, "Nothing, continue."

Lin San said: "Han Yun said that the Chu merchant was the King of Jin in Chu. The Chu spies were almost wiped out. The people of Chu were anxious. The King of Jin has been in contact with people from the Jiang family recently."

The emperor didn't say anything after hearing this and asked Lin San to continue watching the man.

After Lin San left, the emperor called An Jiu over. An Jiu was still immersed in the news that the Chu merchant was the King of Jin.

"That man in the inn... is the Prince of Jin that Concubine Shu has been thinking about?" An Jiu asked suspiciously, "Does Concubine Shu know?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Han Yun said that they haven't seen each other for decades."

An Jiu understood.

It feels like your first love in high school, and when you meet him again at a class reunion decades later, he has become a greasy, fat middle-aged man, no different from the middle-aged man drinking beer with his belly exposed in front of a barbecue stall outside...

An Jiu felt that the White Moonlight in Concubine Shu's heart was definitely not like that...

The emperor smiled and said, "He is contacting Concubine Shu. I find it very interesting, so I decided to help them meet."

An Jiu paused and turned to look at him.

The emperor had a half-smile on his face, his eyes half-closed, like a cunning fox.

Whether it was Concubine Shu or Prince Jin, they were the culprits who killed his mother, and the emperor would never let these two people go.

…

The Chu delegation arrived very quickly.

Almost all the people of Daxia came out and stood on both sides of the street, looking at them curiously like monkeys.

The fifth prince smiled and waved to greet them, not feeling awkward at all.

As for King Jing...

As soon as he arrived in the capital, he was welcomed by the people lining the streets. Everyone knew that when the Chu people attacked, it was only His Royal Highness King Jing who led his men to fight in the south.

Otherwise, they still have to look at the faces of the damn Chu people.

King Jing is their great hero.

The Sixth Princess listened to the noises outside with no expression on her face. The road was not long, and she soon arrived at the villa, which was specially built for foreign delegations to stay in. It was a bit shabby because it was not often occupied.

In the emperor's words, instead of spending money to make the people of Chu live comfortably, it would be better to spend money to give the soldiers of Daxia a good meal.

Who cares whether the Chu people live comfortably or not?

"Settled?"

The emperor looked at the officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The official from the Ministry of Rites nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Chu want to use the cooks they brought with them, saying that they are not used to the food we provide."

"Let them."

The official from the Ministry of Rites said, "Your Majesty, the palace banquet is also ready and will be held in three days."

The emperor nodded.

After the officials from the Ministry of Rites left, the emperor's mind was in a mess.

[The baby in Concubine De's belly can no longer be hidden. 】

[Prime Minister Jiang, it is probably time to take action. ]

Give them some time.

The people of Chu could not come without company, so the emperor ordered Prince Ming and the eighth prince to go.

King Ming didn't care, as he just happened to know the fifth prince and sixth princess of Chu.

The Eighth Prince was puzzled: "Second brother, why did Fourth Brother ask me to go and see? I have no experience, what if I can't accompany him well..."

King Ming patted his shoulder and said, "You're overthinking. Chu is a defeated country. It's polite for us to treat them well. It doesn't matter if we don't treat them well."

The Eighth Prince nodded: "Then I know."

But King Ming laughed.

His fiefdom was in the south, and the Chu people often harassed him. He was determined to teach the Chu people a lesson.
