Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1376

Chapter 1376: Chapter 1371: Respect

As the court officials from the Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom exchanged glances, they heard the eunuch announce from outside, "The Monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom has arrived..."

Xiao Rongyan, sitting to the left of Bai Qingyan, leaned on the armrest and turned his head to look towards the entrance of the grand hall.

They saw Sal Khan, having changed into the attire of the Monarch of Tianfeng, accompanied by numerous officials of the Tianfeng Kingdom, stepping onto the blue stone floor bathed in golden sunlight, with a light smile on his face.

As the monarch of a country, he was not able to appear in the hall alongside Bai Qingyan as equals but was instead summoned inside, a humiliation he seemed to overlook.

Sal Khan looked at Bai Qingyan, seated on the high platform. She had changed out of her court attire and was wearing a light green dress with silver embroidery. Her long hair, as dark as crow feathers, was elegantly pinned with a single white jade goose hairpin, and her ears adorned with teardrop-shaped earrings, enhancing her breathtakingly beautiful features.

Even dressed so simply, Bai Qingyan could not hide the deep and calm power in her eyes, her aura imposing and strong, coupled with her beautiful and clear features, creating an extraordinary presence that was hard to describe in words.

Bai Qingyan stood up, smiling as she stepped forward, and the court officials of the Zhou also stood up with her.

Seeing Sal Khan salute her, she returned the courtesy.

"It’s been a long time. I didn’t expect the Monarch of Tianfeng to arrive quietly in Dadu City!" Bai Qingyan gestured for Sal Khan to sit, "However, due to the signing of an alliance between the Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, and verifying the identity of the Monarch of Tianfeng, there has been some delay. I ask for your understanding, Khan."

Sal Khan stood before Bai Qingyan, smiling gracefully, nodding to her, "We came uninvited, causing trouble for the Zhou Dynasty. We must thank the Empress for her magnanimity."

With this, Sal Khan noticed Xiao Rongyan and gave him a slight nod, "Regent Prince, it’s been a long time..."

Xiao Rongyan’s posture remained unchanged, merely nodding lightly, seemingly indifferent to Sal Khan, which greatly displeased the officials of Tianfeng standing below the platform.

After taking their seats, Sal Khan spoke with a smile, "I heard that the Empress of Xiliang... no, the Princess of Yunjing is also in Dadu City. Amidst such a grand feast, why is the Princess of Yunjing nowhere to be seen?"

"The Monarch of Tianfeng seems eager to find the Princess of Yunjing immediately upon his arrival. I wonder why?" Xiao Rongyan replied leisurely.

Sal Khan turned to Xiao Rongyan, his brownish eyes deepened for a moment before he smiled, "Seeing the Empress and the Regent Prince at today’s banquet reminded me of the past Four-Nation Alliance, where the Princess of Yunjing was also present, hence my question. The Regent Prince need not overthink!"

Following this, Sal Khan looked towards Bai Qingyan and asked, "I heard that Your Majesty gave birth to auspicious twins. Tianfeng has prepared gifts for the Little Prince and Little Princess. I wonder if we have the honor of seeing them today."
