Suddenly, Pei Dongyu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Xiqi has sent his letter of credence and a batch of gifts. He said that the seeds he bought from Da Ling were planted in June and July. They are growing well. When the harvest comes, he will send another letter of credence and a gift to express his gratitude."
Xue Yan nodded.
Pei Dongyu went back to his seat.
"Prepare a return gift and send it to Xiqi," Xue Yan instructed the people from the Ministry of Rites.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Rites accepted the order.
All the officials left, but Xue Yan still did not come out of the royal study either. Instead, he did some work and approved some memorials in the royal study. Only then did he return to the Dragon Hall after he finished dealing with all the matters he needed to deal with.
The sky was turning dark, and it was time for dinner.
He was going to have dinner with Jiang Yue.
