The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1008 Are there people on the other side of the sea?

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao's lips curled up slightly, her voice carrying a hint of amusement: "This Princess Ronghui is certainly well-informed, coming here so early in the morning?"

Xiao Cui remembered something and quickly said, "Your Highness, she must have heard it from Prince Han! Prince Han said that once the Prince returns, he plans to go to Prince Xin's residence to propose marriage."

"Oh? They're preparing to propose marriage? It seems the young master said so." She remembered Chu Chenjing telling her last night that Han Feng had come to the manor.

Immediately, she put down her chopsticks, looked up at Xiao Cui, and instructed, "Let the princess come over."

No sooner had Ouyang Yunyao finished speaking than a voice rang out from the doorway, "Your Highness, I've come uninvited!"

Princess Ronghui led two personal maids into the courtyard. When she arrived at the entrance of the small flower hall, she smiled and her steps became lighter.

Ouyang Yunyao smiled and stood up to greet her, saying gently, "Why is the princess up so early? Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Princess Consort, please sit down and have your meal. I have already eaten breakfast." Princess Ronghui stepped forward quickly and affectionately took her arm.

“I’ve almost finished eating, let’s go sit over there.” Ouyang Yunyao smiled and got up, leading Princess Ronghui to a soft couch with cushions on it.

Mei'er and Xiao Lü quickly cleared the table, while Xiao Cui brought over freshly brewed tea, placing a cup in front of each of them before standing beside Ouyang Yunyao.

Ouyang Yunyao took a sip of tea, her gaze falling on Princess Ronghui's slightly flushed cheeks. She teased, "Princess, you're quite well-informed. I only returned to the manor yesterday, how did you know?"

“I heard it from my father. He went back last night and said that Prince Jing and His Highness the Crown Prince had returned. So I guessed that you had returned.”

"Oh? It wasn't Prince Han who told you?" Ouyang Yunyao teased her with a deliberately amused smile.

"The Crown Prince hasn't seen me yet." "Oh, we told you when the Crown Prince saw you last night."

Princess Ronghui blushed and stomped her foot playfully, "Your Highness! You're so naughty!"

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Ouyang Yunyao smiled at her, then changed the subject, "I heard you two are getting engaged?"

Princess Ronghui nodded emphatically, her eyes shining: "Yes! The young master said he would come to propose marriage when you and the prince return."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Princess Ronghui's face suddenly fell, and she frowned slightly: "Your Highness, we've been looking for Liu Qingxiu for a long time, but we still haven't found her."

Ouyang Yunyao paused, holding her teacup, her voice calm and even: "She also fled to Danyan Kingdom, but she's dead now."

"What?!" Princess Ronghui suddenly stood up from the soft couch, and said in surprise, "Your Highness, you said...you said Liu Qingxiu is dead?"

"Yes! What, you're still reluctant to part with it?" Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows and teased.

"No, no, no!" Princess Ronghui waved her hands repeatedly, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that she's dead! We can rest easy now that she's dead! That woman was too evil."

"Alright, everything's finally settled." Ouyang Yunyao put down her teacup and said with relief.

"That's right, there's nothing to worry about now."

Looking at the morning light outside the window, Ouyang Yunyao sighed, "In this way, our Western Chu Kingdom will be at peace, and the people can live in peace."

No sooner had Ouyang Yunyao finished speaking than Princess Ronghui, who had just sat down, jumped up again, her face full of urgency.

Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow at her, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What's wrong with you now? Why are you so easily startled?"

"Your Highness, our Western Chu Kingdom is not at peace! Someone has come to provoke our Western Chu Kingdom again!" Princess Ronghui said anxiously.

"Provocation?" Ouyang Yunyao's brows furrowed instantly. "Who is provoking us? Which country are they from?"

She pondered this in her heart, but couldn't figure out which country had provoked her.

She had just contacted Crown Prince Qin Ling in the Eastern Qin Kingdom a couple of days ago, and she hadn't heard them mention it! The people who came shouldn't be from the Eastern Qin Kingdom.

Then she thought again, there was another country on the Yuzhou continent, the Yue Rong Kingdom. The two countries hadn't had much contact lately, but she figured that the Yue Rong Kingdom was such a tiny country, with an endless sea behind it, it was impossible for anyone to provoke them. Then she paused, could it be Nangong City?

At this moment, Princess Ronghui said urgently, "Your Highness! Yesterday, a strange group came to the capital. We don't know which country they are from! They look different from us, and they speak in a strange way that we can't understand at all."

"Oh! If you can't understand their language, how do you know they're here to provoke us? What do they look like? Fat heads and big ears?" Ouyang Yunyao joked.

"No! No!" Princess Ronghui shook her head. "I happened to go out yesterday and I actually saw them."

She paused, then continued, "Those people rode tall horses, wore strange clothes, and were taller than us. They also had high noses and brown eyes."

"Oh, what are they saying?" Ouyang Yunyao wondered to herself. Could they be from Nangong City? Then a thought popped into her head: could they be from another continent? This era might not only be the Yuzhou Continent.

“They were talking in a lot of gibberish!” said the maidservant beside Princess Ronghui.

At this moment, Princess Ronghui said, "We don't understand what they are saying, but there is one of them who can speak a little of our language. It was he who spoke on behalf of those people that made us realize they were provoking us."

"What did you say?" Ouyang Yunyao frowned.

Rong Huijun recalled the scene from yesterday and said, "I don't understand what they were saying. They said they were from some kind of empire, and that we were backward and wanted our gold."

“Yes, yes, Princess Jing, only one person spoke to us, saying… saying that he used something to exchange for our gold, and that he wouldn’t let us pay tribute anymore…” a maidservant beside Princess Ronghui added.

Princess Ronghui nodded hurriedly, her voice filled with indignation, "They still want to see the Emperor, and they even said..." The three of them, mistress and servants, spoke one after another to Ouyang Yunyao.

"Then they didn't say where they came from?" Ouyang Yunyao pressed.

"They said they came from the sea!" Princess Ronghui scratched her head in confusion. "Your Highness, didn't we already wipe out the pirates? How come there are still people at sea?"

"At sea?" Ouyang Yunyao's guess became clearer. Perhaps there was land on the other side of the sea, and those people might have come from there. If that were the case, those people would certainly look down on the people of Yuzhou Continent. Their technology must be far superior to that of the people of this continent, otherwise how could they have come here?

Thinking of this, Ouyang Yunyao looked at the group of people and said, "They might be from another state on the other side of the sea."

"Your Highness! There are people on the other side of the sea?" Mei, who had been standing quietly to the side, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How did they get here?"
