The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom was seeing the Emperor of Zhou for the first time. Due to the glaring sunlight and the distance, she could only vaguely see the silhouette of the woman riding a white horse bathed in gold. Yet even that mere silhouette made the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom anxious. She turned to command, "Have Minister Liu and the other envoys from Zhou been brought here?"
"Rest assured, Empress Dowager, the envoys have been taken care of, washed and fed. Due to their weak condition, I took the liberty to arrange for them to rest under the cool canopies," replied the personal maid of the Dongyi Empress.
"You've done well!" The Empress of Dongyi nodded approvingly, glancing at the carriage following behind Bai Qingyan, and hurriedly instructed, "Quickly, have them invited over!"
"Yes!" The personal maid replied promptly, hurriedly sending someone to invite Liu Rushi and others over.
Soon, Bai Qingyan raised her hand, signaling the army to halt.
