Because of Yun Shang's presence, Luo Qingyan didn't say anything more to them under the rule that no woman was allowed to meddle with the political affairs. He only said a few words and then sent them away.
"You've seen them. How do you feel?" Luo Qingyan turned to Yun Shang and asked, raising his eyebrows.
Looking at his expression, Yun Shang couldn't help but Tut, "your heart is still smaller than a needle's eye. Your majesty, don't worry. There is no comparison between the two and your majesty."
Luo Qingyan chuckled and looked at Yun Shang with a faint smile.
Yun Shang continued, "The prince of the State of Youyue and the prince of the State of Yihai are not as good-looking and elegant as the two officials of their country."
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan and said, "The four of them came to see your majesty before. Your majesty should have noticed it, right?"
After a moment of silence, she continued, "But even in the State of Xia, there are many people who are more good-looking and talented than the members of the royal family who are not favored. It doesn't mean anything."
Although she said so, Yun Shang still took it seriously.
On the early morning of the second day, Yun Shang heard from Qian Zhuo that the envoys and their families in the post had a relapse.
"Your majesty, shall we send for more imperial physicians?"
Yun Shang thought for a while and came up with a plan. "Yes. And I'll go with the imperial physicians today."
Qian Zhuo was stunned, "Your majesty, you are going out of the palace? To the posthouse? "
Yun Shang nodded, "Since our distinguished guests got sick in Jin City, it's reasonable for me to visit them in person as the Empress."
"It's a good chance to make the guests feel that the State of Xia attaches great importance to them."
She had a point, but...
Taking a look at Yun Shang, Qian Zhuo said, "As the Wanshou Festival is coming up, the city has been crowded with people recently, mixed up with good and bad. I feel that it's not safe outside the palace."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Prepare the whole set of the the Empress's honor guard and go there aboveboard. I don't think anyone dare to assassinate me in broad daylight. "
Seeing that she couldn't dissuade her, Qian Zhuo had to obey, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare the honor guard."
The honor guard was ready. Yun Shang changed into a phoenix robe and left the palace.
The imperial guards led the way and arrived at the posthouse without any obstruction.
The people in the posthouse had already got the news and were waiting at the door.
After Yun Shang got off the phoenix chariot, the envoys and the ladies of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai bowed one after another. "Greetings, your majesty."
