When Yun Shang arrived at the main hall, there were already four women sitting there. Yun Shang didn't look at them carefully, but went straight to the main seat and sat down.
Seeing this, the four women looked at each other for a moment, and then bowed to Yun Shang in a hurry. "Greetings, your majesty."
Yun Shang nodded and looked at the four women carefully from left to right.
When Liu Wenan mentioned them before, Yun Shang thought they were the wives of the royal members of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai.
But now, she knew that she was probably wrong. Judging from their hairstyle, only one of them had been married.
The four all had outstanding appearance, which made Yun Shang vigilant.
"Arise." Yun Shang smiled, "Have a seat."
After the four of them sat down, Yun Shang smiled and said, "I heard that you came from countries far away from the State of Xia. You must have had a hard journey, right?"
The only married woman among the four smiled and replied in a low voice, "It's not too hard. From our continent to here, many caravan have already walked many times in advance, and the road is quite calm."
"That's good." Yun Shang nodded, "I don't know your names and identities..."
The woman replied in a low voice, "I'm Gong Sijia, from the State of Youyue. I'm the wife of Prince Ming Yue."
"Oh, you are a consort princess."
"This is Ling Lanyu, the eighth princesses of our country. This is Qian Yutong, the fourth princess of the State of Yihai. And this is Qian Jinyu, Princess Si An of the State of Yihai. "
They stood up and bowed to Yun Shang when they were being introduced.
Yun Shang looked at them with a smile, "I have never traveled across the sea, and I know little about the other side of the sea. But when I look at you, I think the women there must all be very beautiful."
"Thank you for your praise, your majesty. In terms of appearance, none of us can compete with you." With a bigger smile on her face, she said, "the Empress, if you are interested, you can visit our continent in the future."
With a faint smile on her face, Yun Shang said, "I'll go there when I have a chance."
Then she changed the topic, "I have never seen the things you sent here before. They are all exquisite and interesting. I like them very much."
"Since you have sent me so many gifts, I've also prepared some gifts for you. I've heard that every time your trade groups come to the State of Xia, the most you bought are tea, silk, porcelain, embroidery, etc. I think these things may be less in your countries, so I've asked people to prepare some. "
Yun Shang raised her hand and clapped. Several servants came in with boxes.
