The princess from Nanlin Kingdom and the prince from Dongzhe Kingdom, their eldest prince Tiantian, came from Dongzhe Kingdom.
The surname of the people in the state of Dongzhe was Tian. Because the ruler valued his eldest son highly, he gave him the name Tiantian.
The Eastern Zhe Kingdom is different from the Southern Lin Kingdom. They are much wealthier than the Southern Lin Kingdom, with a lot of land. By farming, everyone can eat and wear clothes and make a living.
Countries like Nanlin and Jiacang need to buy food and other daily necessities from Dongzhe. It's not that they don't have enough, but rather that they simply don't have enough land. Therefore, Nanlin and Jiacang are poorer than Dongzhe.
These three places still use barter, and gold and silver can be used as currency, but most people don't.
Upon learning that the Great Zhou used silver, these three places also prepared a lot of silver to bring with them, as well as things that they considered special and that the Great Zhou did not have.
Prince Tian Tian always seems like an innocent young man, somewhat similar to how Gu En appears in front of his family. But if you think that's all there is to it, you're mistaken. He is the heir whom the king has painstakingly groomed, so naturally he can't be as naive as a young man.
Tian Tian is also very pretty, with very fair skin, an upturned mouth, and a smiling face that makes people feel close to her at first glance.
However, no one knows what he was thinking.
The delegation from the Kingdom of Jiacang appeared to be the most serious.
They were led by General Shi Mu of the Jia Cang Kingdom, and the entire team was dressed in black, making them look like a military unit.
Perhaps because the people leading the team were all so serious, the people under Jia Cang Kingdom were also very serious, with few expressions on their faces.
As the messenger had already said, the Kingdom of Jiacang is currently ruled by their Grand General. Their king is in poor health and has no children. They adopted a child from a collateral branch, but the child is still young and unable to manage the overall situation. Therefore, all the power in the Kingdom of Jiacang is in the hands of Shi Mu.
No one else could say anything, because Shi Mu was the most capable in Jia Cang Kingdom. At the age of fourteen, he led the villagers to repel bandits from an unknown sea, making him famous overnight. In six years, he strengthened Jia Cang Kingdom's defenses and completely gained the trust of the Jia Cang King.
The Gu siblings sat in the teahouse, watching the procession below. When they saw Shi Mu, they were stunned. This Shi Mu looked just like the Seventh Princess of Yunhai.
It's not that they look alike, but rather that the feeling they evoke is very similar.
Gu Xin frowned.
As if sensing something, Shi Mu looked up and looked in Gu Xin's direction.
Gu Xin looked over without flinching, her eyes cold and devoid of any emotion.
Shi Mu's eyebrows twitched, and he looked away.
"Wow! That general from Jiacang Kingdom is terrifying. His eyes look like he wants to kill someone. Third Sister, aren't you afraid?" Gu Yingxue patted her chest, exhaled, and said.
"What's there to be afraid of? This is within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it's even in the capital. Are you afraid he'll kill someone?" Gu Xin smiled and said.
"This person is very strong," Gu Hui said, taking a sip of warm water.
“Born a commoner, yet able to become a powerful figure in a country at the age of twenty and gain the trust of the ruler, no one would believe you if you said he was weak!” Gu Nian said.
"I just don't know if their purpose in coming here is really just a simple exchange," Gu En said seriously, pursing her lips.
