815: Eyeing Long Yang As If There Was No One Else Present

Eyeing Long Yang As If There Was No One Else Present

1Growing up in the Great Desert, Wanyan Luosang had never seen such a magnificent and festive palace, and she was captivated the moment she stepped through the gates.2

"Brother, the palaces in Cathay are indeed extraordinary." She let out a quiet sigh.

Wanyan Jin, on the other hand, seemed unimpressed by the spectacular sight. He kept his expression aloof and brought his fist to his lips to shield his occasional coughs.

Wanyan Luosang's excitement faded away, and she reached out to pat him on the back. "Brother, are you all right?"

Wanyan Jin shook his head. "I'm fine."

Wanyan Jin and his entourage followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites to the imperial study.

Long Yang was there to welcome them.

Meanwhile, Long Yang had just completed his work for the day.

He had to hurry up and finish dealing with all the urgent state affairs so he could make time for Weiwei.

Zhao Qian walked in. "Master, Prince Wanyan has arrived."

Although Wanyan Jin held the reins of Danjue's government, he was not officially king yet, so he was still addressed as Prince.

"Bring him in," Long Yang instructed calmly.

Zhao Qian went out and returned a moment later with Wanyan Jin and Wanyan Luosang.

Today, Long Yang wore a bright yellow imperial robe, which highlighted his remarkable good looks as well as his dignified aura.

"Greetings to the Emperor of Great Shang." Wanyan Jin stepped forward and performed a Danjue salute to him by placing his right hand over his left chest and bowing slightly.

"Rise, Prince Jin!" said Long Yang.

Wanyan Jin straightened up, only to see his sister gaping at Long Yang.

He frowned. "Luosang, hurry up and greet the Emperor."

Wanyan Luosang seemed to recover her senses only then, and she immediately followed suit by performing a Danjue salute to Long Yang.

After saluting him, she grabbed her brother's arm in excitement and said, "Brother, the Emperor looks just like the man of my dreams – even more than the Grand Duke."

Zhao Qian was standing to the side, and when he heard this, his eyes widened as he glanced at her in disbelief.

How dare this princess from the untamed wilds fantasize about his master in her dreams?

Wanyan Jin patted Wanyan Luosang's head a little helplessly. "Luosang, he's the Emperor of Great Shang, not the man of your dreams. Stop talking nonsense!"

Wanyan Luosang pouted but continued to stare at Long Yang with unabated interest.

How could such a good-looking person exist in this world?

She thought that the Grand Duke was already handsome enough, but she never expected that there would be someone even more stunning than him.

Therefore, while Long Yang was talking to Wanyan Jin, she sat on one side with her chin in her hands, eyeing Long Yang as if there was no one else present.

The purpose of Wanyan Jin's current visit to Great Shang was first – to negotiate peace, and second – to offer Danjue's annual tribute.

As a kingdom in the Great Desert, Danjue was not as wealthy as Great Shang, but it boasted an abundance of livestock.

They were especially renowned worldwide for the horses they herded.

Zhao Qian thought that Danjue's tribute was going to be nothing more than livestock or animal skin and fur.

However, after Wanyan Jin's men brought in two large chests, he could not hide his surprise when he saw what was inside.

It was gold. Two massive chests of gold.

Wait, where did Danjue get all this gold?

However, Wanyan Jin's following words left Zhao Qian speechless.

"Gold is the only treasure we have in Danjue. I hereby offer these as tribute to Great Shang, and I hope that you can accept them graciously, Your Majesty."

Gold was the only treasure in Danjue?!

Zhao Qian was a little shaken, but Long Yang kept his composure, unfazed by the gold before him.

"Your journey must have been tiring, Prince Jin. I have a banquet set up in Jade Dew Hall. Zhao Qian, show the Prince the way."
