The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

In terms of diplomatic etiquette, the court specially organized officials to conduct drills. In the square of the palace, officials were arranged in an orderly manner, like chess pieces on a chessboard.

Starting from the arrangement of the queue to welcome the envoys, the position of each official was carefully arranged, their attire was uniform and their expressions were solemn and serious.

During the audience ceremony in the imperial court, every move and every word of the officials were carefully considered and rehearsed many times.

Officials in charge of diplomatic affairs conducted in-depth research on the cultural customs of Western Chu.

In the study room piled with books, they buried themselves in studying the documents related to Western Chu.

They carefully analyzed the etiquette and taboos of Western Chu to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings due to cultural differences during the reception process.

Every detail is taken into consideration, just like an explorer searching for unknown treasures, cautiously yet full of expectation.

At the same time, the Prince of Chen strengthened the inspection work in the capital.

He was like a rigorous general, deploying everything in an orderly manner.

He dispatched additional troops to patrol the city, and the sound of their orderly footsteps echoed in the streets and alleys.

The soldiers were dressed in bright armor, holding sharp weapons, and their eyes were vigilantly scanning everything around them.

Every corner of the capital city was included in their sight to ensure the safety of the streets and alleys.

There are layers of guards around the inn.

In front of the gate of the inn, two teams of soldiers stood upright, like majestic door gods.

There are secret sentries all around the inn, hiding in the shadows like hidden eagle eyes, ensuring the safety of the envoys and preventing any possible espionage activities.

As the preparations were gradually completed, the whole country was looking forward to the arrival of the envoys from Western Chu.

The streets and alleys of the capital were cleaned up, and the people also learned the news. With curiosity and anticipation, they speculated about the purpose of the envoys from Western Chu and what impact it would have on the relations between the two countries.

People were discussing enthusiastically in the streets and alleys. Some speculated that Western Chu might be coming to seek trade cooperation, some thought it was coming to establish a military alliance, and others thought it might be coming to learn about their country's advanced culture and technology.

The whole country is like a big family about to welcome guests from afar, filled with an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.

Finally, the day came when the envoys from Western Chu arrived.

The early morning sun shines on the city walls, dyeing the ancient and solid bricks and stones golden.

Crown Prince Chen led the court officials, all dressed in gorgeous and solemn court robes, and waited outside the city gate early.

The soldiers were lined up in neat rows, the flags fluttered in the breeze, and the bright colors seemed to be cheering the arrival of guests from afar.

In the distance, the convoy of envoys from Western Chu was slowly approaching.

The caravan was huge, the carriages were beautifully decorated, and the horses pulling the carriages were strong and majestic.

The leading envoy sat in a carriage decorated with gorgeous brocade and gold and silver ornaments. The curtains of the carriage fluttered in the wind, revealing the envoy's serious face faintly.

As the motorcade approached, the prince took a step forward and the officials behind him followed in an orderly manner.

The prince smiled, his eyes showing majesty and enthusiasm. He said loudly: "Welcome the envoy from Western Chu."

The voice was steady and loud, echoing outside the city gate.

The messenger got off the carriage. He was wearing clothes with the characteristics of Western Chu. The fabric was fine and embroidered with unique patterns.

The envoy performed a standard greeting to the prince, and the prince responded with the corresponding etiquette.

Afterwards, the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and began to march into the city.

The people in the city flocked to the streets, wanting to catch a glimpse of the envoy from Western Chu.

They crowded on both sides of the road, their eyes full of curiosity.

The children were held in their adults' arms, looking at the unfamiliar faces and magnificent carriages with their eyes wide open.

After entering the city, the scenes along the way surprised the Western Chu envoys.

The streets are wide and clean, and the shops on both sides are full of various goods.

The people were neatly dressed and smiling, showing the prosperity of the country.

After arriving at the inn, the prince introduced the layout and facilities of the inn to the envoys.

The envoy was very satisfied with the accommodation and kept nodding his head in praise. After a short rest, the formal audience ceremony began.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn and dignified.

The Prince of Chen sat in the first seat, the Crown Prince sat on his left, and the ministers stood on both sides.

The envoy of Western Chu was guided into the court. According to the etiquette that had been studied previously, he respectfully saluted the King of Chen and presented the letter from the King of Western Chu.

The Prince took the letter and the envoy began to state his purpose.

It turned out that Xi Chu had heard about the great achievements made by this country in various aspects and hoped to establish friendly trade relations with the country and exchange what they had.

At the same time, Xichu also admires the culture and technology of this country very much and hopes to send students to study and exchange.

After hearing this, Prince Chen was delighted.

He said his country welcomes trade with Western Chu which will promote the economic prosperity of both countries.

He also expressed strong support for Xi Chu's sending of students, saying that cultural exchanges between the two countries would enhance mutual understanding and friendship.

After the audience ceremony, there was a grand banquet.

The banquet hall was brightly lit with candles and filled with fragrance.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another. The fresh seafood, delicate pastries, mellow wine and fragrant tea made the Western Chu envoys praise it endlessly.

The song and dance performance arranged by Shen Tangan also began.

The dancers moved lightly, their sleeves fluttering, like fairies descending to earth.

The musicians' performance was melodious and the beautiful melody seemed to penetrate the soul.

The envoys from Western Chu were deeply attracted by this wonderful performance, their eyes full of amazement.

The young prince also attended the banquet. He behaved well and talked politely with the envoy. He gave the envoy a carefully prepared gift book. The envoy took it and was immediately attracted by the landscape paintings and beautiful words in it. He kept praising the magnificent mountains and rivers and long-standing culture of this country.

During the banquet, officials and envoys from both countries began to discuss specific matters of trade cooperation. They had in-depth exchanges on the types of traded goods, tariffs, transportation and other issues, and both sides expressed their willingness to actively cooperate.

After the banquet, the Western Chu envoys rested in the inn. In the next few days, they visited the country's schools, workshops, farms and other places. In the school, the scene of students studying diligently made the envoys feel the country's emphasis on education; in the workshop, the advanced technology and exquisite products made them admire; in the farmland, the scene of the harvest showed the success of the agricultural policy.

When leaving, the Western Chu envoys expressed their sincere gratitude to the King of Chen, the Crown Prince, and the people of this country. They set off on their journey home with a lot of gains and expectations for future cooperation.

Since then, trade between the two countries has become increasingly frequent, and cultural and technological exchanges have continued to deepen. The country's influence has further expanded in the surrounding areas, and countries have come to seek cooperation and exchanges, and the country is steadily moving towards greater prosperity.
