Why did Lu Chen suddenly mention the Western Xia envoy later?
Ke Fuji couldn't guess what Lu Chen meant, so he could only agree, "Yes, relations have eased considerably since the two countries signed the alliance. With our goodwill, more dignitaries there are willing to send their sons and nephews to learn about the culture of our Celestial Empire."
