Chapter 1589 - 1590: Witness Her Elegance
The overt purpose, of course, is to hope that Xiyun and Dongqing can continue to maintain friendly relations. Now, Dongqing is even less of a match for Xiyun, and he doesn’t want Dongqing to fall out with Xiyun before he becomes Emperor.
He wants to wait until he has the power to contend with Xiyun before falling out with them, and possibly even destroy Xiyun to incorporate it into Dongqing.
As for the ulterior motive he’s secretly harboring in his heart...
Since his last mission to Xiyun, he hasn’t been able to forget An Jing. Now, he’s here also hoping to see An Jing. However, An Jing is now the Queen of Xiyun, equivalent to the mother of Xiyun. He can’t just go to the Xiyun mansion looking for her like last time. He has to be more discreet to avoid his intentions being discovered and ruining the relations between the two countries.
To conceal his intentions, Dongfang Tianyang doesn’t dare to mention Queen An Jing on his own.
However, the envoy from Beihe Kingdom, seeing no female official with a noble title in the hall, asked perplexedly: "Emperor of Xiyun, King of Xiyun, I heard that Queen of Xiyun played a remarkable role in the conquest of Chilin and was even exceptionally granted the title of King of Peace. Why isn’t she here?"
Xiao Changyi remained silent.
Su Chengyu replied, "My sister-in-law is pregnant again. Although this time it’s not quadruplets, it’s confirmed to be triplets. She is currently resting in Fenghua Palace and not conveniently available to come here."
The intent to show off in his words was quite obvious.
You have to know that only Xiyun has a woman who has given birth to quadruplets. Other countries don’t even have triplets. Yet now, An Jing is expecting triplets again... In this regard, she is indeed unmatched by other women.
Upon hearing that An Jing is pregnant again with triplets, Dongfang Tianyang felt a surge of jealousy in his heart, but it didn’t show on his face.
Before the envoy from Beihe Kingdom could speak, the envoy from Nanchi Kingdom laughed and said, "I have heard for a long time that Xiyun has a woman who gave birth to quadruplets, shocking the world. I didn’t expect it to be the Queen of Xiyun, and now, Queen of Xiyun is again pregnant with multiple births. She truly is a blessed person."
Su Chengyu just smiled without saying a word.
Xiao Changyi still showed no expression, not uttering a word.
The envoy from Wufeng Kingdom also spoke: "The Queen of Xiyun is truly blessed, not only for giving birth but also for her immense military achievements. Historically, no country has ever had a Princess, and the Queen of Xiyun is the first."
After a pause, the envoy from Wufeng Kingdom cupped his hands and said; "Emperor of Xiyun, King of Xiyun, I have an impolite request. I very much wish to admire the graceful presence of this extraordinary woman, the Queen. I hope the Emperor of Xiyun and the King of Xiyun will grant my wish."
The envoy from Wanqing Country also cupped his hands: "When our country’s ruler sent me here, he also mentioned the Queen of Xiyun, saying that the Queen of Xiyun is the number one extraordinary woman in the world. I hope the Emperor of Xiyun and the King of Xiyun will grant us the favor of meeting the Queen of Xiyun in person."
The other envoys also expressed their desire to see An Jing, the Queen of Xiyun.
"This..." Su Chengyu felt very troubled. His sister-in-law was pregnant, and his Brother Yi was very protective. Brother Yi originally didn’t want to come, so how could he allow his sister-in-law to come?
Surprisingly, Xiao Changyi actually agreed: "I will go and invite my Queen personally."
Rather than leaving his wife in Fenghua Palace, he preferred to keep her by his side, where he could constantly keep an eye on her, giving him peace of mind. Unlike now, where his body is here, but his heart is with his wife.
Not waiting for the envoys to react, Xiao Changyi got up to find An Jing.
All the envoys were quite shocked. They could have asked a palace maid, eunuch, or guard to fetch her. Why go personally?
Wasn’t this a bit beneath the dignity of the King of Xiyun?
