Li Ji escorted the delegation to the guesthouse at Honglu Temple, specially designated for receiving foreign dignitaries, thus completing his mission.
He was about to take his leave when Princess Longzhu called out to stop him.
She wore a red cloak trimmed with white rabbit fur. Standing in the snow, she looked like a vibrant red plum blossom in full bloom.
By now, she had removed her veil, revealing an exquisite, beautiful face.
Her skin was fairer than snow, her nose was high-bridged, and her red lips were luscious. Her pair of emerald eyes, like the finest jade, sparkled with a vibrant light.
"Great General, thank you so much for your care along the journey. Without you, we would not have arrived in Shangjing so smoothly."
She spoke the official language of Great Zhou. Her accent was a little awkward, but because her voice was so pleasant, it was still very melodious to the ear.
Li Ji glanced at her, his expression cold and indifferent.
