Chapter 157 The Envoy



Everything at the Crown Prince's residence remained the same.

On that day, the Crown Prince went to the main courtyard and entrusted Kim Bong-yi's unborn child to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess readily accepted.

The couple simply gave Kim Bong-yi some gifts and that was it.

Less than three months later, Kim Bong-yi took leave to recuperate, stopped coming to pay her respects, and rarely went out.

That saved me a lot of trouble.

In Jinhua Garden, Ding Zhaoxun was unconvinced and said a few words, but in the end he didn't dare to do anything.

Kim Bong-yi, adhering to the rules, ignored her completely.

Ding Zhaoxun was at a loss.

Jin Fengyi's caution is incomparable to that of Ye Liangdi before her.

If Ye Liangdi had even half of her qualities, with so many people protecting her, she wouldn't have suffered a miscarriage.

The weather is getting colder, but the liveliness in the capital is getting stronger and stronger.

Because envoys from various countries have also come to the capital.

Beyond Dayan, there are naturally many small countries, and even further away there are large countries, but they are separated by mountains and seas, and current transportation makes it difficult to travel between them.

However, Dayan was not isolated, because the kingdoms of the Western Regions were able to communicate with the outside world and had long brought those things into Dayan. So even though they had never met each other, they knew that there were people outside.

Even outsiders know about Dayan.

However, those who came today were clearly not from those major powers.

Instead, it refers to the times of several small countries in the Western Regions, the times of the Gan Gong Kingdom in the north, and the people of the Baiye Kingdom in the southwest.

People from the Western Regions arrived a day earlier, and today the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Gangong and several of his subjects have also arrived.

They were just waiting for Baiye Kingdom, which was the furthest away, hence their late arrival.

Since envoys from various countries have arrived, Your Majesty should also hold a banquet. However, it would be too extravagant for the palace to begin the reception now.

Therefore, the banquet was held at the post station.

The post station naturally had a large banquet hall to entertain these guests.

The Crown Prince and all the princes must go.

Those who came were mostly princes and princesses, so it was worthwhile for the prince to make an appearance.

The Crown Prince went with his Crown Princess, Consort Su, Consort Murong, and Consort Yan.

As soon as they entered, a girl dressed in fiery red rushed over like a blazing fire: "Your Highness!"

Her gestures were clearly not in accordance with the etiquette of the Dayan Kingdom, though her clothes were those of the Dayan Kingdom.

This girl has pretty features, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but her skin is really dark.

"Tazhu, you've become even more beautiful in three years," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.

"Hahaha! Your Highness, you're too kind. You're the one who should be! Are these your wives and concubines? They're all beauties!" Taju's Chinese wasn't very fluent.

Shu Chengfeng introduced with a smile: "This is Princess Tazhu of Mengzhu Kingdom."

Everyone greeted her with smiles.

Soon, everyone arrived.

The second prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince all arrived. They were accompanied by their princesses and one or two concubines.

The fourth and fifth princes of Luo Ren also rushed over to pay their respects. It was their first time visiting, and they didn't know anyone. Fortunately, they lived close to Meng Zhu Kingdom, so they knew Ta Zhu and were introduced to everyone through her.

There was also a princess from the Kingdom of Zhu, named Rayaji. She had brown hair and light blue eyes, giving her a very exotic look.

However, with a face full of freckles, she wasn't very good-looking.

Her Chinese is even worse; she relies entirely on the people around her for translation.

This was her first time here. This seemingly unremarkable crown princess had single-handedly defeated more than a dozen of her brothers and sisters, and was appointed crown princess at the beginning of last year. She would be the future queen of the Nüzhu Kingdom.

Compared to Taju, who was made crown princess from a young age because of her parents' pampering, she is more ruthless.

Murong Liangyuan asked softly, "In the Western Regions... can a woman become the Crown Princess?"

“My dear sister, you don’t know, but whether it’s the Western Regions, Tuotuo, or Gangong, they’re all the same. As long as a woman has the ability, she can be a queen,” Su Liangdi said with a smile.

"What about Baiye?" Murong Liangyuan asked again.

“Baiye is no good, they are the same as us,” Su Liangdi said.

As they spoke, everyone took their seats.

Prince Gan Gong, who arrived a little late, stepped forward to greet the Crown Prince and his entourage. Compared to the handsome men and beautiful women from the Western Regions, this Prince Gan Gong was truly...

Extremely disillusioning.

He's called a prince, and he really does look like his father; judging by his appearance, he's definitely over forty.

However, the sun and wind exposure of nomadic peoples on the grasslands might make them appear older. But to say that this man is under thirty and that the geese are returning south is unbelievable.

So she waited until the eldest prince was seated and then asked Consort Su, "Sister Su, is this prince not young?"

“That’s true. I don’t know his exact age, but Prince Gan Gong is over sixty. He’s the eldest prince, so you can count on him. He must be over thirty, right?” Su Liangdi said.

"I knew it, this prince is handsome too..."

What a square face!

Two thick mustaches, a head of dreadlocks... his face and hands were all black, in short, he was rough.

The two whispered to each other, and Shu Chengfeng looked over: "What are you saying?"

"I told Sister Su that none of the princes in this room are as handsome as you."

Su Liangdi also lowered her head and smiled.

Shu Chengfeng shook his head: "You naughty boy. You haven't seen the princes of Baiye Kingdom. They are all very handsome. I'm sure you would like them if you saw them."

"Why would I like someone else's prince? Besides, I don't really believe anyone's looks can match my aesthetic." Right? Let's flatter them first.

His Highness is indeed a combination of an elf prince and an Eastern nobleman, and it's hard to surpass him.

Tazhu is an outgoing girl. She had a good chat with Shu Chengfeng when she came three years ago.

They are also staunch supporters of Shu Chengfeng.

Therefore, she was very lively during the meal.

The eldest prince of Gan Gong wasn't particularly handsome, but he had a wonderful personality, so the banquet wasn't dull at all.

Various countries also brought songs and dances, all different from those of Dayan, making it a lively occasion.

“Your Highness is so fortunate to have so many beauties. I am far inferior to you!” Tazhu laughed.

"If you like, I'll pick out a handsome man from the Great Yan for you," Shu Chengfeng said.

"That won't do, haha, we can marry into our small country, but not the other way around. Actually, I had my eye on Luo Ren's fifth prince, but unfortunately he wasn't willing, hahaha!"

The Fifth Prince Luo Ren was right there. His face turned bright red, and he said something in his hometown dialect.

Taju laughed again and replied in his hometown dialect.

Shu Chengfeng explained in a good mood: "The Fifth Prince said that Tazhu is not without handsome men."

Taju said that if the Fifth Prince were willing to marry her, she would only want him.

"But if the fourth and fifth princes can come here, aren't they vying for the throne?" the Crown Princess asked.

"There is indeed a dispute, but these two brothers are born of the same mother and have a good relationship. It's unlikely that things will escalate too much, and the eldest brother is more likely to become king. The fifth prince will probably really go to Mengzhu Kingdom for a marriage alliance."

In these countries of the Western Regions, there is no inherent superiority of women over men; their statuses are roughly equal.
