Following this eunuch's announcement, Zong Sui's special envoy, the fourth prince of Zong Sui, Li Kun, entered Fei Cui Hall with five people.

In Feng Yu Heng's eyes, Li Kun was a little more than 170 centimeters in height, but he was very sturdy. He should be walking the path of a martial artist and not that of a scholar. The people of Zong Sui dressed in a similar manner to the people of Da Shun, and it had a little bit of a Tang dynasty flavor. This caused Feng Yu Heng to feel a little nostalgic.

While she was observing, Li Kun had already reached the middle of the hall. Sweeping aside his robe, he kneeled on one knee and saluted: "Son of my country, Li Kun greets your Majesty and your Highness. I wish a long life to your Majesty and a long life to your Highness. I hope that Da Shun Country continues to prosper and has plentiful harvests."

The Emperor laughed loudly, "Fourth prince of Zong Sui, you're getting better and better with your words! Quickly, please rise."

"Thank you, your Majesty!" Only then did Li Kun stand up. He then bowed deeply and said: "In the past year, my Zong Sui was able to prosper with the blessing of Da Shun and had plentiful produce. Today, this lowly prince specially brought Zong Sui's special tribute to Da Shun's ruler. It will also serve to show that my Zong Sui is still loyal to Da Shun as it was before."

As he said this, one of the people at his side handed over a list of gifts to Da Shun's eunuch. The eunuch then handed it to Zhang Yuan, who finally handed it to the Emperor.

Li Kun continued: "This year, Zong Sui prepared a total of 138 parts to the tribute. The majority have already been handed over to a minister for inspection. Another two parts are national treasures that this lowly prince brought to court today. Would your Majesty please personally take a look." As he said this, he moved to the side, and three people came forward, with each one holding something. "This is one of the national treasures, commoner's brocade. In the past year, Zong Sui produced a total of four bolts, and they have all been brought by this prince to offer as tribute to Da Shun."

Upon hearing mention of commoner's brocade, the men in the hall could be said to have remained calm but were a bit expectant, but all of the women looked stared straight over.

This was commoner's brocade. At last year's new year's banquet, Zong Sui was unable to offer any, but they were able to produce four bolts this year, and they had brought it to this hall. Could it be that they would be blessed on this day to see this national treasure fabric?

Everyone craned their necks and looked at Zong Sui's prince. This reaction made Li Kun very satisfied, thus he decided to wait for a little and enjoy this feeling of being gazed at by countless people for a while.

The Emperor was a little unhappy and really wanted to tell him to hurry up, but when he looked again at the thing behind the commoner's brocade that had yet to be offered, the words that had reached his mouth were swallowed back down.

Instead, it was Xuan Tian Ge that began to feel upset and shouted: "Hurry up! Since you brought it here, just bring it out for all to see. If you don't want to let people see it, just let the palace servants throw it into the warehouse. What are you dawdling for?"

This was the first time Li Kun had come to Da Shun. There were people that had come to tell him about the circumstances in Da Shun, including what type of people were in the imperial family and their personalities. But he still did not understand why did a young girl dare to speak like this in front of the Emperor, the Empress and the numerous officials? Was she a princess? In Zong Sui, even if she was a princess, she should not have this sort of right? He could not help but look towards Xuan Tian Ge.

Xuan Tian Ge frowned, "I told you to show the fabric to everyone, so why are you looking at me?"

Li Kun was completely terrified by Xuan Tian Ge, and he no longer wanted to ask who this girl was. He quickly turned around and personally removed the cover from the commoner's brocade.
