The Prince of Yan exhibited such a humble stance, apologizing on behalf of Empress Dowager Yan, even if just to show those Zhou soldiers, leaving them no excuse to attack the Yan Kingdom.
Bai Qingyan finished reading Xiao Rongyan's letter and told Wei Zhong, "Then let this Crown Prince of Yan come. Otherwise, outsiders might think our Zhou is slighting these three Yan envoys."
"Your Majesty, the Auxiliary General has requested an audience outside," a young eunuch reported in a low voice upon entering.
"Let him in!" Bai Qingyan placed her pen on the inkstone and picked up another memorial to the throne.
After entering the hall and greeting Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinxiu sat quietly beside her, kneeling: "Upon entering the palace, I saw the Crown Prince and Second Prince of Yan and General Xie Xun waiting at the palace gates, probably after hearing about General Cheng's request to send troops to the Yan Kingdom, seeking an audience with the Eldest Young Lady."
