Chapter 376: One is more arrogant than the other (Part 2)



Everyone squinted their eyes and saw a black shadow swaying in the air, as if a huge black bird was flying lightly in the sky.

As the black shadows got closer, the officials finally saw clearly that the "big bird" was actually a team of people. Each of them was very skilled in light work. They stepped on the leaves and flew up like a dragonfly skimming the water. In the sunlight, it was as if they were immortals descending to earth.

The officials of Daqian Kingdom were stunned.

Yun Yilu murmured, "What an amazing Qinggong."

It would be fine if the people in the team flying towards them came empty-handed, but they were carrying a large sedan chair on their shoulders. Moreover, the entire team had no horses, and no other livestock to help carry the various bags. The entire journey was carried by people carrying dozens of large sedan chairs. Whether it was their internal strength or perseverance, it was very admirable.

The Minister of Rites recognized the other party as the envoy of Jiu Yue Guang from his white and gold official uniform. He led the people of the Ministry of Rites to greet him and said, "Welcome to the envoys. May I ask if the person in the sedan chair is the eldest princess of Jiu Yue Kingdom?"

The female official standing in front of the sedan chair asked, "Are you officials from the Daqian Kingdom?"

"Yes, we are officials from the Ministry of Rites, responsible for receiving the envoys. Our Jinyiwei are responsible for your safety."

"laugh."

A contemptuous voice came from a sedan chair, which seemed to mock that it was a joke to send the Jinyiwei to protect them whose martial arts were higher than those of the Jinyiwei.

The female official pretended not to hear the voice and continued, "Our princess has come from afar, but the Daqian Kingdom has only sent a small official to receive us. Is this how you treat guests?"

The Minister of Rites said quickly, "This happened suddenly, and we didn't have time to make more preparations. Please forgive us, Princess. Of course, it's not just our officials who are hosting this reception. There are also our Crown Prince and several princes. They are already waiting for the Princess at the State Residence."

After hearing this, the female official's expression improved.

Then, a deep male voice interrupted.

"Daqian officials, you said that your crown prince and princes are already waiting for the princess of Jiuyue. May I ask if they are waiting for the crown prince of Jiuyu?"

The Minister of Rites and his men looked in the direction of the sound and saw a team of over a thousand people descending from the sky, and like Jiu Guoyue, they all used light skills to arrive.

The Minister of Rites stepped forward and saluted: "Respectfully welcome the envoys from the Nine Territories."

The prince standing in the sedan chair waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Take us to your palace to rest."

[Tsk, they are really more arrogant than each other. ]

[The momentum of the Daqian Kingdom was completely suppressed. ]

[You can't keep going like this, or you'll be looked down upon. ]

[Minister of Rites, you need to stand up straight.]

[Uh… it’s no use saying it in my heart. The Minister of Rites can’t hear me. Besides, he has a hunched back to begin with. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t straighten it. So don’t count on him.]

[This is all his own fault, as he spent the first half of his life constantly bowing and scraping to others.]

[So, people should stand up straight, otherwise they will become hunchbacked.]

Minister of Rites: “…”

The other officials tried hard to hold back their laughter by pursing their lips.

The Minister of Rites gestured to the envoys of the two countries and said, "Crown Prince, Princess, please come in."

The officials of Daqian Kingdom got on the carriages and went ahead, while the Jinyiwei lined up to escort the envoys of the two countries forward.

The curtain of Princess Jiuyue's sedan chair was quietly lifted a little, and when a female official from the Imperial Guard was seen, the curtain was lowered again.

"Who is the person being escorted by the Jinyiwei? The Fan Wang?"

"I have never seen the robes they wear, nor have I ever heard of any foreign king whose guards are all women, and I have never heard of any foreign king whose guards wear white armor."

"Their hairstyles are so unique, they don't look like people from Daqian. Could it be that there are other countries besides Daqian?"

When the soldiers of the Nine Territories heard what the people said, they snorted, "A bunch of people who have never seen the world."

More and more people gathered around to watch. Fortunately, those walking on the road were all court officials, so they did not dare to act rashly.

As they approached the state residence, the people slowly dispersed.

The Crown Prince and princes of Daqian Kingdom had been waiting for a long time. They only went to greet the Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom and the Princess of Jiuyue Kingdom after they got off the sedan chair.

The future crown princes of the three kingdoms gathered together, and officials from each country compared them privately.

The Crown Prince of the Jiuyu Kingdom has a rough and heroic appearance, and a rather casual demeanor, but his eyes cannot conceal the ferocity.

The eldest princess of the Jiuyue Kingdom had a pretty and stern face, a dashing demeanor, and a taller figure than every girl present, almost as tall as the crown prince of the Jiuyu Kingdom. Although she was a woman, her aura was not inferior to that of the crown princes of the two countries.

But what surprised Jiuyu and Jiuyue the most was the prince of Daqian. As the crown prince of a newly merged country, he was not humble or timid in front of the crown princes of the other two countries. Instead, he made people feel that he was a powerful opponent that should not be underestimated.

The crown prince of Daqian made a gesture of invitation: "Crown Prince, Princess, please come in. We have prepared meals and a comfortable bedroom for you. I hope you will be satisfied."

The eldest princess of Jiuyue Kingdom and the crown prince of Jiuyu Kingdom followed the crown prince of Daqian Kingdom to the lobby of the state palace.

The chief eunuch received instructions and immediately sent someone to serve breakfast.

Then, exquisite breakfast dishes were placed in front of the envoys from both countries.

They raised their eyebrows in surprise when they saw that the delicacies on the table were actually the famous specialties of their country.

The eldest princess of the Jiuyue Kingdom smiled slightly with a stern face: "Prince of the Daqian Kingdom, you are really thoughtful."

The prince of Daqian said: "You have come a long way to Daqian, so we will treat you with all our heart and hope that the hospitality will suit your taste."

[Can you please stop talking nonsense and start eating. ]

Mu Nanjin, who had been silent all the way, couldn't stand their constant politeness.

Officials of Daqian Kingdom: "..."

The prince smiled and said, "Princess, Prince, please have your meal."

Without waiting for the Princess and the Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom to start eating, Mu Nanjin quickly picked up the spoon and took a mouthful of porridge.

[I still remember that year, I could only watch the Minister of Rites and the envoys eat outside. I never thought that a few years later, I could also sit here and eat, hehe.]

Mu Nanjin was arranged to be the right hand of the Crown Prince of Daqian Kingdom, so her every move was closely watched.

Seeing that she picked up her chopsticks faster than anyone else present, the envoys from both countries could not help but look at her a few more times.

The fourth princess, who was sitting next to the eldest princess, said, "I've heard that women from Daqian can also serve as officials, but I didn't expect that Daqian would be so tolerant of female officials and not punish them if they break the rules."

Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket, my dears
