"Oh, and thereโs Sima Ping... Let Ah Jue go check on it for me!" Bai Qingyan said with a smile to Bai Jinxiu, "This time, he was purely implicated, but if we donโt punish him, Iโm afraid it will affect their camaraderie as comrades-in-arms."
"Eldest Young Lady, rest assured. If it werenโt for Xiao Si going first this morning, Ah Jue would have gone already..." Bai Jinxiu said with a smile, "Ah Jue felt it was not good to go too frequently, so he planned to hold off for a bit."
Just after Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu finished speaking, a young eunuch reported from outside that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of the Yan Kingdom, Murong Ping, along with Xie Xun, had already arrived at the entrance of the shop, inquiring if Bai Qingyan wished to summon them.
"Please, let them come in!" ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐.๐๐๐บ
Seeing the Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom take the lead, accompanied by Murong Ping and Xie Xun as they respectfully entered the main hall and properly performed their courtesies to Bai Qingyan, the Crown Prince quickly turned his head to look at Murong Ping upon seeing Bai Jinxiu.
Murong Ping whispered, "King of Fu!"
"King of Fu..." The Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom made a long bow to Bai Jinxiu.
Bai Jinxiu also stood up with a smile and returned the courtesy.
"Wei Zhong, offer seats..." Bai Qingyan said with a smile while looking at the Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom, "The Crown Prince and Second Prince, along with General Xie, have come to the Zhou Dynasty to establish an alliance between the two countries. Originally, we should have hosted a banquet when you three arrived, but too many matters delayed it."
These were all diplomatic niceties that everyone understood. The newly seated Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom immediately straightened his back and bowed deeply to Bai Qingyan, saying, "The affairs of a country are manifold, and it is natural that His Majesty cannot spare himself. Fortunately, with the alliance now established, we have come to the Zhou Dynasty to show the sincerity of our Yan Kingdom. If our presence delays the governance of the Zhou Dynasty, it is not the wish of our Yan Kingdom!"
"Indeed!" The Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom smiled warmly, "The mansion that His Majesty has prepared for the foreign ministers is exquisitely beautiful, clearly showing that His Majesty does not treat us as mere envoys. This, we keep in our hearts!"
"The three of you have come from afar to the Zhou Dynasty to strengthen the alliance, which is only fitting," Bai Qingyan said with a nod and a smile to the Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom.
"Precisely because His Majesty bears no grudges and treats us foreigners with such magnanimity, we feel even more ashamed and uneasy... Thus, we dared to come disturb His Majesty amidst his busy schedule!" The Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom tightened his hands within his sleeves, "My mother was once deceived by traitors to betray the Zhou Dynasty, nearly harming the King of Zhen. After realizing she was fooled, my mother was filled with remorse, and so before I came to the Zhou Dynasty, she instructed me to convey her apologies!"
Speaking thus, the Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom turned his head to look outside the main hall, "My mother knew that the King of Zhen was gravely injured, so she specially ordered someone to bring the secret medicine of our Yan Royal Family, along with treasures that are extremely beneficial for recovery!"
Outside the main hall, six eunuchs brought in three treasure chests.
In one of the treasure chests were the secret medicines of Yan, though these were originally prepared by the Empress Dowager of Yan for her own son. However, due to the incident where military generals in the Zhou Dynasty requested to send troops to the Yan Kingdom, the Crown Prince thought it would be more useful to offer these secret medicines to the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and the King of Zhen than keeping them by his side.
Bai Qingyan did not believe that the Empress Dowager of Yan would admit her mistakes, as she always felt that others owed her.
Thinking of the Empress Dowager of Yan, Bai Qingyanโs eyes turned cold, but when dealing with the direct descendants of Murong Yu, the Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom, he still maintained a friendly demeanor, "Itโs a long journey for the Crown Prince and Second Prince to bring these! I... shall accept them on behalf of the King of Zhen!"
The Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom heaved a sigh of relief.
