Chapter 186: Meeting the Officials
As the Emperor and the Empress of the Wind Kingdom were seated in the Dragon Throne, every official did their greetings and then it was turn for the Nobles and the Merchant families invited to the Coronation to give gifts to the Emperor congratulating him.
" Did the Water and the Earth Kingdom send any congratulatory tributes?", Xing asked the Emperor as she was curious. The Wind Kingdom doesn’t have any vassal states who pay tributes and the neighbouring Kingdoms sould send gifts at least for formality, right? After all their kingdom is the mother kingdom for the Water and the earth kingdom.
" Out relationship with those countries is non-existent. We didn’t send any congratulatory gifts for their Emperor’s coronation either", he replied.
That’s no good... Xing thought. With war approaching from the tribals, it is not good for a kingdom to be completely isolated from their neighbours, right? How come no one addressed it seriously till now?
Xing remembered that the envoys sent to the Earth Kingdom were killed by their soldiers even at the borders... This all seems fishy...
Xing felt a splitting headache but she could not leave that place because she is supposed to be here... What a drag!
As the biggest merchant family, Huang Family was the first one who gave the Emperor first wishes and there were all kinds of expensive and exquisite Jade ornaments and Treasures in there.
But everyone was surprised more by the five thousand horses the Huang Family gifted the Emperor.
Are they trying to cajole the Emperor to go easy on them with the investigations on them?
Everyone were murmuring among themselves when Huang Zedong said his greetings to the Emperor. He froze seeing Shengli beside her and he didn’t know what was going on when he was told by his little brother to announce the death of Huang Shengli. Also he didn’t understand why his niece chose to enter the palace and why she is being the Empress now. But... There should be a reason, right? Or else his little brother wouldn’t have allowed his only daughter inside the inner palace.
