The Elder Princess, still as proud as ever, unexpectedly invited Ye Muyu to join her after a greeting.
"I respectfully comply," replied Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu followed beside her, answering some not-so-important questions.
Halfway through, the Elder Princess suddenly said, "The envoy from Miaojiang this time is rumored to be the Sacred Girl of Miaojiang; does Madam know about this news?"
Ye Muyu, of course, had learned about the tributary states coming to the court, among which Beirong's military power was the strongest, while the others were smaller states, hence they had to pay tribute to Great Chu every year.
This year, the peace negotiations with Beirong shocked the other smaller countries, leading to an unusual tranquility among the envoys who might have caused minor troubles in past years.
