2451 The princess of nanlin
It wasn’t that the Three Kingdoms had only brought so many people, but that the kingdoms and tribes of the western lands had also sent envoys. Didn’t that lead to such a long line?
Cheng huaijin and the other princes of the western lands led their respective diplomatic corps into the city, followed by the Jia Cang, Dong Zhe, and Nan Lin kingdoms.
The ninth Prince greeted the emissaries one by one. By now, many people in the Ministry of Rites had learned the languages of Jia Cang and the other three countries. The messengers from these three countries had also learned the day-to-day great Zhou language, so it was not difficult to greet them.
After that, he arranged for this group of people to first stay at the diplomatic mission’s place, and then enter the palace to attend the palace Banquet at night.
There were a total of 13 diplomatic corps, including the ones from the West. Each of them had at least 100 people, which was quite a lot of people. However, Gu shouxin’s arrangement was in good order, and there was no trouble at all.
The common people of the capital had long since been informed that a diplomatic mission was coming today, so unless it was absolutely necessary, it was best not to use a carriage on the road from the city gates to the courier hostel.
The large group of people went to the two guest houses.
The commoners were watching the show from both sides of the street. The last time the Western Region’s diplomatic mission came, everyone was surprised because the people from the Western Region were generally taller. Some of their eyes were of a different color from the great Zhou’s, and their hair color was different. Their facial features were more profound.
The commoners wanted to know what the people on the other side of the sea looked like. In the end, they saw that they looked not much different from the people of great Zhou. Their clothes were not even as good as those of great Zhou. Didn’t you see that the young lady sitting in the middle was still wearing great Zhou’s clothes?
It seemed that they also felt that their clothes were not good, but the clothes of the great Zhou Dynasty were good.
The commoners saw the princess of Nan Lin country. There was no Prince in this generation of Nan Lin country, only a Princess. The current Nan Lin King was infatuated. He only married the Queen and had three daughters. The one who came over was the eldest Princess of Nan Lin country, Long Zhu ‘er. Nan Lin country’s National surname was long.
They didn’t inherit the throne with the women of the goddess Kingdom. They could accept both men and women. If the heir was a woman, then find the king’s husband. If it was a man, then find the Queen. The heir didn’t have to be a son, either, as long as you had the ability.
Long Zhu ‘er was very handsome, with a kind of androgynous beauty. If she wore women’s clothing, she would be a beautiful girl. If she wore men’s clothing, she would be a handsome young man.
She smiled and looked at the people of great Zhou on both sides of the street. She thought to herself, ” sure enough, I have to go out more. Just their nanlin, jacang, and dongzhe are probably not as big as great Zhou’s Jiangnan!
Not to mention that from Jiangnan all the way to the North to jingdou, the customs and practices of each place were different.
Moreover, the people of the great Zhou seemed to be living better lives than the people of nanlin. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles, and their clothes were not tattered. Even if they looked a little old, they were clean and tidy. The smiles on their faces were the hope of life.
The more Long Zhu ‘er walked to the capital, the more she liked great Zhou. When she arrived in the capital, her love for great Zhou had reached an unprecedented level. She had never liked a place so much before.
She was thinking about what she should bring back this time.
The delicacies she had eaten along the way, the smooth roads of the great Zhou, and the arrangements the great Zhou officials had made for so many people seemed to be enough for her to learn.
