It's not that the three kingdoms brought this many people, but rather that the countries and tribes in the west also sent delegations, which resulted in such a long queue.
Princes from the west, including Cheng Huaijin, led their respective delegations into the city first, followed by those from Jiacang, Dongzhe, and Nanlin.
The Ninth Prince greeted each of the delegation's leaders. Many people in the Ministry of Rites had learned the languages of the three kingdoms, including Jia Cang, and the messengers from these three kingdoms had also learned the everyday language of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so greeting each other was not difficult at all.
After that, arrangements were made for the group to first settle in at the mission's accommodations, and then to attend a palace banquet in the evening.
Including the delegation from the West, there were a total of thirteen delegations, each with at least a hundred people. It was quite a lot, but Gu Shouxin arranged everything in an orderly manner, and there were no problems at all.
The people of the capital had already been notified that a delegation was coming today, so unless absolutely necessary, they should avoid traveling by carriage from the city gate to the post station.
The large procession headed to two different post stations.
The people were watching the excitement from both sides of the street. When the Western delegation came last time, everyone was very surprised because the people from the West were generally taller, and some of them had different eye colors and hair colors than those from the Great Zhou. Their facial features were also more defined.
The people wanted to know what the people on the other side of the sea looked like. When they saw them, well, they didn't look much different from the people of our Great Zhou. Their clothes weren't even as nice as those of our Great Zhou. Didn't you see that the little girl sitting in the middle was wearing Great Zhou clothing?
It seems they also felt their own clothes were unattractive, while the clothing of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked much better.
The people saw the princess of Nanlin Kingdom. There were no princes in this generation of Nanlin Kingdom, only princesses. The current king of Nanlin was a lovelorn man who only married the queen and had three daughters. The one who came over was the eldest princess of Nanlin Kingdom, Long Zhu'er. The royal surname of Nanlin Kingdom is Long.
Unlike the Kingdom of the Goddess, where women inherit the throne, in their land, both men and women can succeed. If the heir is female, she will find a king; if male, she will find a queen. The choice of heir doesn't necessarily have to be a son; sons or daughters are both acceptable, as long as one has the ability.
Dragon Ball is beautiful, with an androgynous beauty. When she wears women's clothing, she is a beautiful girl, and when she wears men's clothing, she is a handsome young man.
She looked at the people of Da Zhou on both sides of the street with a smile, but in her heart she was thinking, "I really need to go out more. Their Nanlin, Jiacang and Dongzhe are probably not even as big as Jiangnan in Da Zhou!"
Not to mention that traveling north from Jiangnan towards Kyoto, the local customs and culture are different in every place.
Moreover, the people of Da Zhou seemed to be living better than the people of their southern neighbor. Everyone's face was full of smiles, and their clothes were not tattered. Even if they looked old, they were clean and tidy. The smiles on their faces showed their hope for the future.
The closer Long Zhu'er got to the capital, the more she liked the Great Zhou Dynasty. After arriving in the capital, her love for the Great Zhou Dynasty reached an unprecedented level. She had never liked a place so much before.
She was wondering what she should bring back with her this time.
The delicious food she had eaten along the way, the smooth roads of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the arrangements made by the Great Zhou officials for so many people all seemed to offer her much to learn.
