After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The Qiang people were arranged in the South Palace at the request of the prince.

This time, the Reception Department cleaned up two large palaces in total.

One is on the north side of the palace and the other is on the south side of the palace.

Therefore they are called 'North Palace' and 'South Palace'.

The Nangong Palace is closer to the Crown Prince's Palace, making it convenient for the Crown Prince to discuss matters with the Qiang King.

The Reception Department discussed for several days how to accommodate the guests from the four countries.

Each of the four countries has a palace, which is too deserted and makes it inconvenient to arrange many things.

The four countries are crowded together and are too stingy, which does not conform to the temperament of a great power like Kyushu.

Minister Xue sat below the eldest prince and said to him, "Your Majesty, I think it's okay for the four countries to be squeezed together."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiang Hongxuan who was sitting opposite him.

Xiang Hongxuan disagreed.

Crowding was only one of the reasons. Another reason was that if the four countries were put together, he was afraid that it would be very easy for someone with ulterior motives to harm them.

Just in case, it’s better to separate them.

Minister Xue saw that although Xiang Hongxuan didn't say anything, he just stood there like a mountain, and he understood the implication of his words.

The eldest prince said: "I don't have any objections. Isn't it our fault for saying how these people live?"

Yes, saying it means not saying it.

The rest of the people, seeing that Shangshu and General Xiang were both undercurrents in their reception, did not dare to stand out anymore.

In the end, the prince decided to choose two palaces for the reception.

Each palace only hosts two countries, so it is neither crowded nor deserted.

As for how the four countries would choose their palaces, the prince directly decided on the palace where the Qiang people would live.

As for the other three countries, we will have to wait until they arrive in Kyushu and ask for their opinions before making a decision.

Minister Xue looked at the Crown Prince, who made no secret of his closeness to the Qiang people, and then looked at the eldest prince, who was fiddling with the purse in his hand.

He could only be angry in his heart and turned around to tell the emperor the news.

Of course, the Reception Department also arranged a special inn for reception outside.

I heard that in some countries, not only followers are brought along, but also ministers and family members.

It was against the rules for them to stay in the palace, so the reception department prepared the most luxurious inn in Shangjing.

The emperor had already written in his letter that the three kingdoms would arrive at the same time.

It’s just that the little prince of the Qiang tribe deliberately moved the date forward because of his relationship with the Shen family.

Of course, this is just the reason given to the outside world.

The real reason, of course, was that the Qiang king heard that Shen Jinyao was going to get married, so he hurried on his way.

On this day, the Reception Department welcomed them at the city gate.

The emperor and his ministers were waiting at the palace gate.

The emperor specifically ordered that when a large group of people entered the city, they did not need to give way, but only needed to welcome them on both sides of the road.

Shangjing City has always been a place where only the rich and noble can get along.

When the Three Kingdoms came to Shangjing at the same time, no one was not curious.

Men, women, young and old are curious about what people in these countries look like.

"Look, why are they wearing such strange clothes?"

"Yeah, it looks like it has a lot of hair, it looks like it's made of animal skin."

"It looks warm, but it's not winter yet."

An old man stood in the crowd, stroking his beard and looking at the team at the front.

The old man said proudly, "You don't know this, do you? This is the Northern Huns."

"Northern Huns?"

"Yes, the Northern Huns. They have three cold seasons out of four, and even the common people wear animal skins to keep warm."

"Not to mention these princes and nobles."

Seeing that everyone was listening intently, the old man continued, "I heard that the food supply in the Northern Xiongnu was pitifully low. It would be strange if food could grow in such a cold place."

Everyone was curious, "What do they eat?"

They all look tall and strong, and don’t look like they are hungry.

He even looks much stronger than those who mainly eat grain.

The old man smiled and said, "Eat meat."

Eating meat? That's good.

The old man continued, "They have a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses, and a lot of different animals. They eat all kinds of meat. I heard they also eat a kind of grass."

"People eat grass, and so do cattle and sheep. Where can we get so much grass for them to eat?"

The old man smiled and said, "You don't know, the Northern Xiongnu territory is vast, but the population is sparse, and the crops are even less. The sky and the ground are covered with grass."

"I heard they are very good at riding, maybe that's why."

When they heard about eating grass, everyone looked disgusted.

What’s the use of being tall and strong?

What’s the use of being good at riding?

How can this place be a place for people to stay?!

After all, we can’t compare to their Kyushu Kingdom!

The country is vast and rich in resources, and the nine states are very abundant in products.

Even when there is a natural disaster, there is relief from other states.

Someone asked, "Old man, how do you know?"

The old man's eyes showed nostalgia.

"Back in the day, my grandfather followed our founding emperor through battles across the country. I've heard him talk a lot about the countries surrounding us."

Everyone understood after hearing this.

At this time, a boy's voice sounded, "Grandpa, who are those beautiful sisters?"

Pretty sister?

Everyone looked over when they heard this, their eyes widening.

The men were eager to get to the front and watch.

If the soldiers hadn't stopped them, someone would have probably done so.

The women all looked embarrassed, some even glanced at him with disdain, and some even turned their heads away and blushed, not wanting to look.

The old man also had an expression of confusion, yearning and a little intoxicated.

The boy's voice sounded again, "Grandpa, please tell me."

"Ah...ah, cough cough cough, those people must be from the Western Regions."

Everyone became even more curious after hearing this, because it turned out that this person was from the Western Regions.

I saw that the carriage from the Western Regions was very gorgeous, with colorful ribbons tied around it and the curtains rolled up high.

Men and women sitting in the carriage.

Outside the carriage sat those beautiful women.

Each of them has thick eyebrows, deep eyes and a high nose.

Not only were the clothes they wore colorful, but they also boldly exposed their necks, and some women even exposed their calves.

What is truly fascinating is these women, whether nobles or maids, all wearing light veils on their faces.

It gives people a sense of mystery of "holding the pipa half-covered".

And those men from the Western Regions are all very handsome.

Some are even more beautiful than women.

But the men looked a little strange. Some of them had Saker Falcons standing on their shoulders, and some had some animals lying on their arms.

Then another boy started crying, "Wow, is that a snake?"

When everyone looked, they saw that the thing wrapped around the arm of the Western man was actually a real snake!

The timid people covered their eyes and dared not look.

"Old man, these people from the Western Regions are beautiful, but why do they seem a bit creepy?"

The old man said in a low voice: "I heard that people in the Western Regions are good at using witchcraft and can summon spirit snakes. It is indeed very strange."

Everyone understands.

It turned out to be the legendary 'femme fatale'.

Their Kyushu country is still the best!

There are beauties too, and they are all well-educated and well-mannered, and at least they don’t keep snakes!
