Chapter 1377 - 1384 Empress of Qing Luo Kingdom Arrives (1)
In the early morning of December 16th, in the first year of Shunde, the citizens of the Capital were busily shuttling through the streets, purchasing New Year’s goods with great interest, when suddenly, they heard a series of orderly hoofbeats, the rumbling of carriage wheels, and the cries of those clearing the way.
A group of people dressed in foreign attire appeared on the bustling street, numbering around five to six hundred individuals, solemn-faced and mostly strong, young guards, who were escorting a discreetly luxurious carriage straight to the Palace of the Great Jin Nation.
Such a large group of people, all dressed in foreign garb, inevitably caused a sensation among the citizens. Soon, everyone shopping for New Year’s goods stood at the curb, discussing this foreign envoy.
"They are people from the Qing Luo Kingdom, some Qing Luo envoys came to Our Great Jin a few months ago and ate in my shop, so I recognize their clothes!"
"Weren’t they here just a few months ago? Why have they come back so soon? And they brought so many valuable gifts?"
The citizens speaking referred to the dozen or so carriages loaded with Camphor Wooden Boxes; these boxes were exquisitely crafted, expensive in their own right, let alone what’s inside!
"Who knows? They may be here to propose marriage to that Princess of ours, look at that Golden Silk Nan Wood Carriage in the middle, tsk tsk, such grandeur, there must be a Prince or Royal Grandson sitting inside!"
"Hmm, that’s possible, and look at all the gems inlaid on that carriage, it’s as gorgeous as the Empress Dowager’s phoenix palanquin, must be a Royal Aristocrat riding in it..."
Indeed, the carriage was occupied by someone from the Royal Family, but it was not a Prince or Royal Grandson of the Qing Luo Kingdom, but the Empress of Qing Luo herself, Na Muhan.
