Chapter 1549 - 87: Inviting King Chaoyang to Stay in Dongqian (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_5
After all, the existence of Sky Pillar was too extraordinary, aside from Emperor Longchang, Wang Shouzhe could think of no one else who would "out of consideration for Princess Qingluo" provide Wu Mingyuan with intelligence support.
No more idle chatter.
A moment after Little Jizi left, Little Xiangzi was led into the Warm Pavilion.
"Your Highness," Little Xiangzi reported after offering standard courtesies, "The latest news from [Sky Pillar] is that the shipyards across the Western Sea are almost completed. The first batch of three [Kunmu Giant Vessels] has begun construction, with an estimated construction period of about ten years."
"Hehe~ Yinsha Sect has really splurged, to actually build three shipyards at once – it seems they will have to invest their funds for the next few years in these Kunmu Giant Vessels." Emperor Zi’an smiled slightly, not paying much attention, "Let them be. We will proceed according to our own plans."
"Yes." Little Xiangzi bowed to take the order and then reported another matter, "Additionally, there was an important piece of news from Beizhou today. Emperor Qingfeng of Beizhou recently announced that he would hold a public selection of a suitor for Duchess of Luo Jia, allowing all outstanding young individuals under 250 years of age within the Immortal Dynasty’s sphere of influence to participate."
"A public suitor selection?" Emperor Zi’an was taken aback.
This is indeed rare.
"Yes. It is said that this Beizhou Duchess of Luo Jia is beautifully featured and well-regarded by the common folks, and she possesses the posture of Great Heavenly Proud, greatly favored by Emperor Qingfeng." Little Xiangzi informed, "Not wishing to slight the Little Princess, Emperor Qingfeng made the exceptional decision to hold a public suitor selection among various nations and the Immortal Dynasty. Little Xiangzi rushed back to report as soon as the news was obtained because Your Highness had previously ordered to keep an eye out for girls with Heavenly Chosen Talent in other countries."
"Duchess of Luo Jia of Beizhou... I do have some impression of her; indeed, a talented individual." Wang Shizhao recalled for a moment, and it quickly came to him, "Now that you mention it, this Duchess is not yet 180 years old, younger than Sheng Commandery Prince by several decades, and their qualifications are quite comparable, making her a very suitable marriage candidate."
