Chapter 1520
The next day, the first batch of envoys from small countries arrived in the imperial capital.
The first to arrive were the three neighboring small countries, Panguo, Chengguo, and Ganguguo.
The person leading the delegation from Panguo to visit was Jin Shoufu, who was nearly fifty years old in Panguo.
In the Kingdom of Cheng, there are Crown Prince Yuwen Ye, the eldest son of King Cheng, and Princess Yu Wenxia, who just got hairpins this year.
Leading the team of Gangu Kingdom were the monarch's eldest princess Hu Yanxue and her ten-year-old brother Hu Yanjian.
Each of the three small countries provided the new emperor with many local specialties, including silks and satins, jewelry and jades, seasonal fruits, and unique local gadgets.
Ling Yu was in the harem and did not see the envoys from the Three Kingdoms.
Naturally, Lingxuan would not neglect this matter and had already sent the gossip-loving Han Yu to inquire about it.
Hanyu disguised himself as a little eunuch and saw the envoys clearly on the road the envoys must pass.
Han Yu's eyes widened when she saw the two princesses. When they disappeared, she hurried back to report to Ling Yu.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yu Wenxia of the Cheng Kingdom, I don't know what she looks like. She is veiled, but the way she is dressed makes Han Yu blush for her!"
Han Yu said and covered his face.
Lingxuan asked curiously: "What makes you blush?"
Han Yu blushed with embarrassment: "It's still winter, but she doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold. She's wearing a gauze skirt. This is nothing!"
"The terrible thing is that her skirt only goes up to this..."
Hanyu stretched out his hand and gestured to his thigh.
Lingxuan's eyes widened in shock as she imagined that scene.
Ling Yu has already learned about the situation of the five small countries that came to North Korea this time.
The country of Cheng mainly produces iron ore, and they have very powerful sword casting masters. They used to be just a tribe, but they have been surrendered to the Western Qin since they were conquered by the queen.
Cheng's national style is fierce and the male-female ratio is imbalanced. Therefore, their women take advantage of this advantage and become bolder. In modern terms, their clothes are more avant-garde and bold.
"Many women in the country dress like this, there's nothing strange about it!"
Ling Yu is curious about Hu Yanxue, the princess of Gangu Kingdom.
Gangu Kingdom had previously petitioned the new emperor to be lenient and reduce taxes to Gangu Kingdom this year.
The reason is that Gangu Country has been experiencing constant natural and man-made disasters this year and the harvest has been poor.
In addition, the king of Gangu, King Huyan, was seriously ill, and the princess was in charge of political affairs on his behalf.
Xiao Lintian was newly enthroned, and it was too late to send someone to find out whether the situation was true.
This princess must be a capable woman if she can replace her father in power!
Seeing Ling Yu ask about Hu Yanxue, Han Yu said: "Princess Chang is dressed normally and looks beautiful, but she is very imposing and is a little inferior to you, the empress!"
Ling Yu laughed. Was Han Yu afraid of being blamed, so she only dared to answer so carefully?
A few people were chatting, and little Eunuch Xie came first to deliver the fruits as tribute.
Dates, citrus, pears, etc. Ling Yu has seen countless varieties of fruits in modern times, but they don't find them novel.
Han Yu and others had never seen some fruits before, so they looked around curiously.
"Lingxuan, pick some and send them to the Empress Dowager's Palace, and send some to Concubine Shao and the two nobles. Don't forget Yue Yue and Xie Weina!"
Ling Yu explained.
Although Mrs. Shao and herself were at odds with each other, Ling Yu would never be stingy about giving them what they should enjoy.
After Lingxuan finished dividing the fruits, Xiao Lintian came after receiving the envoys and brought the tribute jewelry and gadgets.
He gave all these things to Ling Yu and asked Ling Yu to pick out the leftovers and then distribute them among others.
"Ayu, the remaining envoys from the two countries will arrive tomorrow, and we will hold a welcoming banquet for them the next day. Then you can prepare a few programs to show them how powerful I am, Western Qin!"
Xiao Lintian said casually.
