C330 Missions to the Palace

After the rain had passed, the sun in the sky lazily shone as the music from all directions resounded through the vast world. Not far away, a group of people were heading towards the palace. It was the diplomatic mission of the Xiliang.

Duan Yunfei mustered her courage and stood where she was, quietly watching the diplomatic mission walk towards him. She frowned slightly and looked towards the diplomatic mission team, probably looking for someone.

The leader of the diplomatic mission jumped down from the carriage and walked forward slowly to size up Duan Yunfei. After that, he made an arrogant bow, looked at Duan Yunfei and said, "I presume this person is Jin Country."

Duan Yunfei nodded her head, the Minister of Rites' Assistant Minister pointed and said: "Who are you, why haven't you reported your name yet? Since you know that this is our Thirteenth Princess, why don't you kneel down and greet him? "

The man glanced at the Vice Minister of Rites and then looked at Duan Yunfei. After that, he cupped his hands and smiled: "I am Xiu Yu, Southern King of Xiliang County. I pay my respects to Duan Yunfei."

The Duke of Southern County was originally Xiu Heng's uncle. After the Duke of Southern County passed away two years ago, the heir to the throne, Xiu Yu, took over the throne.

"So it's Young Prince Xiu Yu, the Southern Kingdom's King. This time, His Highness has personally led a diplomatic mission to send us, the entire journey has been tiring." Hearing that the person in front of him introduced himself, Duan Yunfei nodded slightly, and said without changing his expression.

Xiu Yu looked at Duan Yunfei, who was dressed in plain clothes, with her hair tied up high as well. He frowned slightly, and bowed towards Duan Yunfei and said: "I have long heard that the Thirteenth Princess is valiant and formidable.

Duan Yunfei could naturally understand what he meant. As the person receiving them in the mission this time, Duan Yunfei was acting as the son of the heavens. She should have dressed up extravagantly, but she was actually dressed up as a man, which was an obvious provocation to the Xiliang. Xiu Yu was also a person who killed her way through the battlefield. Her attire reminded him of the time when the Xiliang suffered a crushing defeat at Golden Horde Kingdom, and his heart naturally filled with anger.

Duan Yunfei saw that he was looking at with a tit for a tat look, yet was unwilling to engage in a tasteless battle of words with him, and only nodded at him, cupping her hands and smiling as sshe spoke: "This praise from Young Prince Xiu Yu, Yun Fei does not deserve it. That year, when we met on the battlefield, before we had even sparred with Young Prince, he had already withdrawn his troops in a rush. It is truly a pity for Yun Fei. "

Just as Duan Yunfei said that, Xiu Yu extended his hand out to grasp the treasure sword in his hand, his expression becoming ugly. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and deliberately revealed a smile to Duan Yunfei: "Not only Thirteenth Princess, even this duke thinks that it's a pity. Since that's the case, why don't we find a day to fight a day then?"

Duan Yunfei was just about to nod her head and walk forward, but before she could say anything, Mu Chuyang pulled her behind him, clasped his hands at Xiu Yu and said with a serious expression: "Today is the day that the West Leung Mission sends out her envoy, they are connected and the two nations are on good terms, yet the is competing with my Princess Jin Country below the city wall, what is the meaning of this?"

Without waiting for Xiu Yu to speak, Mu Chuyang continued to speak: "If Young Prince Xiu Yu truly wants to spar, then allow me to take the initiative."

Xiu Yu raised his head and looked at Mu Chuyang, purposely greeting him: "May I know who this is?"

The Minister of Rites quickly said from the side: "This is my Jin Country, Young Prince Mu Chuyang."

"This duke has seen Prince Xiu Yu on the battlefield, but this prince has never remembered this duke. It's really like a noble forgetting everything else. " Mu Chuyang's hand clenched into a fist, but his face revealed a smile.

Xiu Yu glared at him as the atmosphere became tense.

At this time, a palace maid ran out from the palace in a hurry and whispered a few sentences into Duan Yunfei's ears. Duan Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the palace maid beside him.

Just as Mu Chuyang was about to make a move, Duan Yunfei extended her hand and grabbed him, gently shook her head, then turned around to look at Xiu Yu. She cupped his hands towards him and said: "Young Prince Xiu Yu must have been tired since the boat journey this time, so the emperor has arranged a feast for all the emissaries that have travelled here from afar, let's go to the palace to meet him. As for the competition between Young Prince s, if the two of you are willing, you can set up a stage for the two of you in the palace another day, and let the two of you compete to your heart's content. "

Xiu Yu hesitated for a moment, but to be honest, he was not Mu Chuyang's match. Just now, when Mu Chuyang suddenly mentioned him, he was only able to accept it as having a hard time getting off the tiger's back. Now that Duan Yunfei had said this, Xiu Yu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mu Chuyang's face was solemn, his eyebrows tightly knitted together. Duan Yunfei fiercely pulled on his sleeves, and only then did Mu Chuyang slowly heave a sigh of relief, and unwillingly walked into the palace.

At this time, Yuwen Di was in the great hall of the Nine Prefectures, waiting for the meeting of the West Leung Mission's group.

"Thirteenth Princess has arrived, West Leung Mission has arrived."

The sound of transmission suddenly came from outside, following that, Thirteenth Princess and Mu Chuyang walked towards the palace. Behind them were the hundreds of officials who were going to welcome the West Leung Mission, and then the people from the West Leung Mission.

Yuwen Di looked towards his highness, Duan Yunfei had taken care of everything, and Yuwen Di's face revealed an expression of gratification.

Duan Yunfei walked forward and bowed towards Yuwen Di, then said respectfully to Yuwen Di: "Reporting to royal father, this son has already invited West Leung Mission into the palace. This time, Young Prince, led by Southern King Xiu Yu from Xiliang County, travelled a long distance to come here and meet royal father."

Just as Duan Yunfei's voice fell, Xiu Yu walked over to pay his respects to Yuwen Di and said, "This humble one, Xiu Yu, greets your majesty, Jin Country. May Your Majesty live for ten thousand years."

At this time, Xiu Yu understood the rules, causing the officials of Jin Country's Ministry of Rites to heave a sigh of relief.

Yuwen Di's face also revealed a joyous expression, as he nodded towards Xiu Yu, indicating him to stand up. Young Prince has led a diplomatic mission from a distance, it must have been hard on you. "

However, Xiu Yu laughed, bowed to Yuwen Di, and said respectfully to Yuwen Di: "I am indebted to Your Majesty for taking care of me, but I have come under the orders of Crown Prince Xiu Heng to send a mission to the Jin Country, in order for the two countries to get on good terms with each other, and to avoid war and chaos. Prince Xiu Heng lived in the Jin Country for many years and had deep feelings for the Jin Country. That was why he specially sent this humble official here, to greet the Emperor on behalf of me, the Crown Prince of the Xiliang. "
