The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1047 Prince Jolie Enters the Palace

Qianhe Hall of the Imperial Palace

Inside the Qianhe Hall of the Western Chu Kingdom's royal palace, a warm and inviting atmosphere prevailed, though the usually solemn hall was now filled with a lively chatter.

Prince Joliv, from the Kingdom of Lorian on the continent of Loba, and his entourage were presenting gifts to the emperor in the main hall.

The exotic gifts they brought were displayed on a long table prepared by the emperor. The various Western-style items drew frequent glances from the court officials.

Their questions rose and fell in a cacophony of voices. Henry, who was responsible for answering them, was flustered and gave a halting explanation.

The Emperor of Western Chu, leaning back on the dragon throne, half-closed his eyes, his fingertips casually tapping lightly on the carved armrest. He was not curious about the gifts brought by the blond men, because he had already seen better things from his daughter-in-law, Ouyang Yunyao.

However, most of the ministers had never seen such a novel thing before, and their discussions rose and fell. He was too lazy to restrain them and let the noise and conversation in the hall continue.

In reality, what was called communication was just Henry trying to force himself to speak in broken Xichu dialect.

When the group of Robinians first entered the hall, the emperor managed to hear a couple of sentences, but afterwards, he heard nothing at all, only a string of gibberish from a foreign language.

The blonde translator's halting speech was difficult for him to understand, so he simply lowered his eyes to rest, hoping that Princess Jing, Ouyang Yunyao, would arrive soon so that he could communicate with them.

He glanced at Chu Chenjing standing below the steps out of the corner of his eye, his gaze clearly asking, "Why hasn't your princess arrived yet?" But Chu Chenjing kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought, and didn't even look up at him. The Emperor cursed inwardly, thinking how good his son was at pretending; he wanted nothing more than to kick him to vent his anger.

Just then, a high-pitched eunuch's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the Princess Consort of Jing requests an audience!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor, who was eagerly awaiting Ouyang Yunyao's arrival, suddenly opened his eyes, his previous languor vanished, and he hurriedly called out, "Summon her immediately!"

The young eunuch turned and ran to the palace entrance, saying to Ouyang Yunyao, "Princess Consort Jing, please come in quickly! His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Ouyang Yunyao stood outside the hall, and upon hearing the urgent summons, she raised an eyebrow slightly. Why was the Emperor in such a hurry? Wasn't Henry there?

She composed herself, lifted her skirt, and slowly entered the main hall. Reaching the center of the hall, she knelt and bowed, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

"Rise! It's good that you've arrived!" The emperor looked at Ouyang Yunyao with a smile and waved his hand to signal her to get up.

This scene stunned the ministers in the hall. The entire court consisted of ministers such as the prime minister, ministers, and generals, whom the emperor held in high esteem.

However, he treated Princess Jing with kindness and even relied on her greatly, which was truly rare.

At this moment, Chu Chenjing didn't care about the ministers' thoughts. When he saw Ouyang Yunyao arrive, his eyes were full of doting affection, and he looked at his little princess with a smile on his lips, and moved closer to Ouyang Yunyao.

The ministers were still in a daze when they saw Prince Jolif and the blond men, who were incredibly excited.

Before Chu Chenjing even reached Ouyang Yunyao's side, they had already turned around to look at Ouyang Yunyao, performed their greeting, and said a few words in their own language.

Ouyang Yunyao thought to herself, "These foreigners are really cute, they can even bow like this in this kind of situation!" A smile curved her lips, and she replied in fluent Lopa, "Your Highness, gentlemen, hello!"

As soon as she spoke fluent Lopa, the entire hall fell silent. The ministers all stared at Ouyang Yunyao in astonishment. The Princess Consort of Jing could speak Lopa? Several ministers had already heard that the Princess Consort of Jing could speak Lopa, but they were still surprised to hear her say it. They hadn't expected that the Princess Consort of Jing could not only speak it, but also speak it so fluently.

When the Emperor saw Ouyang Yunyao arrive, he waved his hand, and everyone quieted down.

The Emperor and Prince Joliv then began their formal conversation, with Ouyang Yunyao providing simultaneous translation. She translated their entire exchange fluently and without a single pause.

The ministers were even more astonished, whispering among themselves and looking at her with disbelief. No wonder the Emperor was waiting for the Princess Consort of Jing.

While helping them translate, the Emperor mentioned the gifts that Joliv and his party had brought. Only then did Ouyang Yunyao notice the gifts on the long table.

Upon seeing the gift, she was moved; it seemed that Joliv and his party had indeed come to see the Emperor with utmost sincerity.

The gifts they brought were quite generous.

The gifts included not only their rare items, such as small mirrors, exquisite glass bottles and wine glasses, and fine porcelain, but also a musket they had made and a box of gunpowder for the musket, along with a telescope.

Among the gifts, what caught her eye was a lifelike bronze bird clock. Looking at the exquisite clock that could tell the time, she couldn't help but sigh that the industrial technology on the Luoba Continent was indeed far superior to that on the Yuzhou Continent.

The emperor and his ministers were very interested in the little bird clock and asked it many questions.

Ouyang Yunyao's space is filled with all sorts of things, including large clocks, small alarm clocks, and watches.

Chu Chenjing had seen all of her posts on her social media, and she had even given him a watch.

However, she did not take these things out for the Emperor and the others to use, nor did she take them out in the Prince's Mansion, because time is calculated in hours on the Yuzhou Continent, and Ouyang Yunyao did not want to disrupt the time system here.

At this moment, Ouyang Yunyao was also puzzled by the fact that the little bird clock had twelve divisions. Did these twelve divisions represent twelve two-hour periods or twenty-four hours? She also inquired with Joliv and the others about the timekeeping method on the continent of Roba.

During the conversation, she asked about the time system on the continent of Luoba, which uses the same 24-hour system as in her previous life.

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the ministers chatted with Joliv and his group for a while. Everyone was very curious about the continent of Loba, and the conversation became more and more lively.

Qiao Lifu and his group told the emperor that they had come to the continent of Yuzhou and that their friends from now on would be the Western Chu Kingdom, and that they would be on good terms with the Western Chu Kingdom forever.

Seeing that it was getting late, the Emperor raised his hand and pressed down, and the hall instantly fell silent.

At this moment, the Emperor spoke up: "Your Highness! Gentlemen! You have worked hard! You have traveled across the ocean to come to my Western Chu Kingdom, so you are friends of my Western Chu Kingdom! I and our country warmly welcome you, and I am very happy to cooperate with you!"

The Emperor concluded with a majestic statement: "I have prepared some fine wine and delicacies to welcome you all tonight!"

As Ouyang Yunyao's translation faded, Prince Jolif and several other blond men placed one hand on their chests and bowed deeply to the Emperor with respectful expressions: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
