"Your Majesty, this shining golden elephant was also brought from Tianzhu?"

"Of course not. How is it possible to transport it from Tianzhu? The sea route from Surat to Guangzhou is more than 10,000 to 20,000 miles. How can you put an elephant on a ship and not die of stench?"

"Then this elephant is"

"I ordered the goods from Jinoujun and asked the seller to deliver them to Guangzhou."

“Buy an elephant and have it delivered?”

"Princess Nessa has a lot of money! Money can make all the difference, so what's the point of sending an elephant to your door?"

"Then why did Princess Nisha bring an elephant to Wuchang?"

"Of course you are riding. Did you see the little golden house on the elephant's back? The princess will sit in it."

The people who were talking were Zhu Cibing and Grand Duke Luo. It turned out that they came to the pier to welcome Princess Nisha of the Timur Empire of Tianzhu. When the two were talking about elephants, they looked at some people wearing colorful sari skirts with their wrists , the maids of Tianzhu, who were wearing glittering jewelry on their necks, hair, ears and even nostrils, lined up in two lines and walked from the golden ship to the pier through the long springboard. These maids in total were 20 people, all of whom are beauties with wheatish skin and somewhat coquettish looks. Each of them has a basket on their right arm. There is something shiny in the basket. I don’t know what it is?

Immediately afterwards, Princess Nisha, who was dressed in a white sari and only had a string of pearl necklaces hanging on her long neck. She looked extremely elegant and appeared in the sight of Prince Fu Zhu Cibing.

Zhu Cibing pulled Grand Duke Luo, who was looking at Princess Nisha's Rajput maid, in a low voice: "Princess Nisha is here."

After hearing what he said, Grand Duke Luo quickly looked towards the golden ship and immediately saw Princess Nisha, who was dressed in all white and wearing a white headscarf.

"Why does this princess look different from her maids?" Grand Duke Luo looked at the princess's facial features and skin color, and then looked at those Rajput maids. They were completely different!

"Of course it's different," Zhu Cibing said, "The princess is Mongolian, and the maids are Rajputs from India. They are not the same species."

"Mongolians? They don't look like them!" Grand Duke Luo took another look.

"She has more Persian blood and a little bit of blood from the Western Regions, but she doesn't have the blood of the local people in Tianzhu, so she is very white. Those who are a little bit black are the noble blood of the local people of Tianzhu."

"The noble ones?" Luo Dagong asked, "And the lowly ones?"

"Of course there are," Zhu Cibing said, "There are many species in Tianzhu, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish between high and low. I also know that the whiter the skin, the higher the species is."

"Really?" Grand Duke Luo glanced at Zhu Cibing and said half-jokingly, "Your Majesty, we are both quite fair. We will probably be noble species in Tianzhu, right?"

Haha, we can’t all look at skin in this matter! Zhu Cibing has actually studied caste in Tianzhu, and caste is actually linked to occupation. Grand Duke Luo is a descendant of Luo Yuzhang, a great scholar of the Song Dynasty. With a 600-year scholarly family background, he should be a Brahmin in Tianzhu .And Zhu Cibing’s ancestors had to eat, so I don’t know if Princess Nisha will look down on Emperor Zhu after knowing this?

While he was thinking wildly, Princess Nesa had already walked onto the Hanyangmen Pier surrounded by a group of maids. Her eyesight was quite good, and she saw Zhu Cibing from a distance, so she walked towards him with a smile, and even imitated her words when she arrived. She looked like a Chinese woman and made a blessing ceremony.

"Nisa is so polite." The princess also spoke in Chinese. She can now write poems in Chinese. Her language talent is really quite impressive!

Zhu Cibing quickly returned the favor and said, "Xiao Wang has met the princess." Then he introduced Grand Duke Luo to Princess Nesa, "Your Highness, this is Grand Duke Luo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Luo Ge."

Zhu Cixi abolished the cabinet of bachelors and replaced it with a cabinet system in which the prime minister and the ministers jointly assist the government. As a result, the eight ministers were all called "Ge Lao".

"I've met Mr. Ge." Princess Nesa also gave a blessing gift to Grand Duke Luo.

Grand Duke Luo returned the courtesy quickly, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, I and His Royal Highness Prince Fu have been ordered by the emperor to take you into the palace. The East Lake Palace is quite far away from here. Let's hurry up and don't keep your majesty waiting."

"Listen to Mr. Ge." Princess Nisha waved behind her, and then she saw two dark elephant slaves driving a big golden elephant towards her.

At the same time, there were more slaves who looked very dark. The two of them picked a big box and got off the gold boat. There were many slaves and many boxes. Until Princess Nissa entered the elephant with the help of the maid

There was a small golden house on his back, and a steady stream of slaves disembarked from the ship.

"His Royal Highness Prince Fu, let's set off!" Princess Nesa watched her slaves get off the boat, then smiled and said to Zhu Cibing.

Zhu Cibing and Grand Duke Luo looked at each other, then looked at the elephant that had stood up, and then ordered various servants to bring the horses. They prepared a carriage for the princess, but they wanted to ride an elephant, so they had no choice but to ride a horse.

There is a way ahead.

But they were not the ones walking at the front. The one at the front was Zhu Cibing's guard of honor. Behind the guard of honor were Princess Nesa's twenty Geraput maids, then Grand Duke Luo and Zhu Cibing, and then the people riding on the horse.

Princess Nisha on the elephant. Behind the princess is a slave carrying books and jewelry for her. Most of her dowry has been deposited in Maritime Bank and remitted directly to Wuhan Prefecture. Only part of it was taken with her to spend on the road. Follow.

What came with her were mainly her books and jewelry. She was the number one book collector in Tianzhu! The entire results of the Tianfang Sect's century-old translation movement came to China with her.

As for jewelry, there are so many. India is rich in all kinds of gems and pearls. The Timur Empire has robbed India for so many years, and there are only a lot of these kinds of things in the warehouse. Princess Nisha doesn’t want as much as she wants.

have?

In fact, she doesn't wear much. She only wears a string of pearls and nothing else. However, Princess Nisha still brought many to Daming to show off her appearance.

The team had already started to move forward. After walking for a while, the people walking in front of Zhu Cibing and Grand Duke Luo were 20 Rajput maids carrying baskets. As soon as they left the pier and walked on the street outside Hanyang Gate, these maids

Then he started throwing things in the basket to the people watching the excitement on both sides of the road!

"What are they doing? Why are they throwing things around?" Luo Dagong was shocked when he saw small pebble-like objects being thrown out. "Will this hit someone? What should I do if it hits someone?"

?”

Zhu Cibing had seen this happen when he was in Tianzhu. He said in a dumbfounded way: "They are throwing rupees."

"Rupees? What are rupees?"

Zhu Cibing explained: "The rupee is money! It is the silver coin of Timur's empire in Tianzhu!"

"What? Throwing money? Can money be thrown around? Isn't this a waste of money?"

"It's like this over there in Tianzhu," Zhu Cibing said. "It's flooded and droughted. Timurid's dynasty was so rich that his annual income was half of our Ming Dynasty's! This Nisha

The princess's dowry also includes her own private property plus several million taels of silver, and an annuity of more than 300,000 taels!

I guess her maid will spread the money all the way to the East Lake Palace!"

Grand Duke Luo said in his heart: Sprinkling money all the way? This princess is too extravagant. I will definitely tell His Majesty later and discipline her well!

Princess Nisha rode an elephant, scattered rupees, and carried countless jewelry and books through Wuchang City and rushed to the East Lake Palace. When Emperor Zhu was in his imperial study room, he was taking out the examination papers. This was for

The test paper used for admission to Jinling Women's University! It's very difficult, and the first one to take the test is of course Princess Nessa who is rushing to the East Lake Palace.

Fortunately, Zhu Cixiang figured out that he would use a semi-public examination to entertain this exotic princess from afar, and her status in the harem would also be determined by the examination results. The highest she could get was a noble concubine, and the lowest she could only be a concubine.
