Ling Chaofeng stood with his hands behind his back, watching the large ship sail out of the Baisha River, and felt a faint unease in his heart.

The Xiluo was rich and powerful, and was currently the most powerful nation among all of the Western Kingdoms. Its position was comparable to that of a small surrounding nation's, and this time, the prince had come, whether it was because the emperor had invited him, or because they had taken the initiative to express their goodwill.

”Master, Lord Liang is over there.” Seeing that Ling Chaofeng was not paying attention to her, Xiaowan reminded him, ”Let's pay our respects to Master Liang.”

Only then did Ling Chaofeng regain his senses and brought his wife and children over to pay his respects. After that, whatever they said to each other, they all had solemn expressions. When Xiaowan looked at them, she could not help but feel uneasy.

After Master Liang and his group left, they bade farewell to Da Qing and returned to the tavern.

When he returned home, he saw the Aunt Zhang and Susu cleaning the guest rooms, the Xiaowan came over to help.

She went to clean up the cloud cover where the blue-eyed prince lived. When she changed out the bedclothes, a roll of paper fell from the edge of the bed and fell to the ground.

When Little Pei ran in to play, the Xiaowan called him over to take a look. Although Little Pei had already learnt how to write behind his back, he still could not recognize that much.

When Ling Chaofeng saw it, he said that it was indeed an instrument for to request for marriage from the Emperor of Daqi. However, even if such a thing existed, it shouldn't be owned by the Prince himself. Naturally, it would be kept by the Minister, could it be that he intentionally left it here?

”But our little princess is only a year old.” Xiaowan said, ”How can a princess who's over one year old marry someone? Child marriage? ”

”A marriage alliance does not necessarily involve a marriage alliance with a princess. It involves the Princess in the royal family, the daughter of a noble family, and even the young miss of an official in the imperial court.” Ling Chaofeng explained, ”As long as the other party thinks it's suitable, the title that the Emperor bestows upon the princess or Princess will be suitable for marriage.”

”Master, are the Xiluo far away?” The Xiaowan asked, ”Is it further than the capital or Siping Mansion?”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”Very, very far away. I have also never been there, and am separated by a vast ocean from our Daqi.”
