Inner Hwangjin

Prince Chun arrived and was accommodated in the Joheun Huimang Palace, Inner Hwangjin. He was offered two days of rest, in case he needed to get accustomed to the drop in oxygen that sometimes guest experienced. The Prince was informed that the meeting will be in the form of a private and group audience in the Heavenly Palace. He would be received in the Throne Hall, as it is customary, by Queen Hong. Other senior ministers would be present as well.

The day of the meeting, Prince Chun was received by Royal Secretary Hongju at the enter of the Heavenly Palace. "I welcome you in the name of Her Grand Royal Highness", the Royal Secretary said. "It is a pleasure to meet you".

A few minutes later, the visitor was announced in the Throne Hall. Queen Hong was awaiting, sat down on the throne. She was the only one who was sat down, as the rest of people in the room were standing up. They politely bowed to the visitor, while the Queen remained silent until he was formally introduced by the Royal Secretary.

In the audience, there were also present, besides the visitors and the Royal Secretary, the three senior ministers, including Chief State Minister Jungjin Um, the head of the government, and two royal diplomats who served as translators. The Prince was indicated to approach the center of the hall, in front of the platform where the Queen was placed. There was a large cushion in which certain distinguished guests as himself were allowed to sit down if they consider it opportune for their comfort and convenience.

"Welcome to our lands", Queen Hong declared. "I'm glad and honoured to receive you. I hope your travel and stay was pleasant enough. While the circumstances are rather unfortunate, I am confident your visit will serve for a better understanding between our nations".

Lijiang:
Chun had brought with him his friend, Jianhong Tsui, a young man just a year older than himself. Jianhong was set to become the Crown-Prince's "Shìzǐ Qīnglǐ" a title that translated into "Gentle Keeper" meaning it would Jianhong who would help support the Crown-Prince in his early delving into his royal duties. The two had meet at the Shūyuàn Academy he had attended and Jianhong was the son of a Lord of some mountain region. As they were introduced to the Throne Room Jianhong waited outside, after all this meeting was between the two royals. He entered when introduced and bowed to the Queen, he had no intention of standing like the others in the throne room, he was after all the future Dragon-Emperor and so he took the cushion even if it was less comfortable than he expected. "I'm thankful for your welcome and on behalf of my father extend our Empire's best wishes. He is eager to hear of the progress that we make here today."

"I hope your father will be pleasantly satisfied with the path that your visit starts", Queen Hong replied. "We are interested to strengthen the diplomatic communications and understanding between our nations".

"For that reason", Queen Hong continued, "I have chosen State Minister Ryu to serve as ambassador to your nation. The state minister is an experienced and professional person and I am  certain that he will be the best person to strengthen the cooperation between our nations".

Chief State Minister Jungjin Um and Deputy Chief State Minister Oh looked at each other as they heard the announcement. They were maybe as surprised as the Prince about the appointment.

"While our governments may find differences, both in the present and the future, we hope that we will find common understanding to improve and strengthen our cooperation. We would be interested to improve our cooperation particularly in the areas of security and trade", she continued.

"We would be interested to improve communications and infrastructures along Gungju, in our shared border, an important port-of-entry for trade between our nations", she explained. "If I am not wrong, there is also interest in increasing our exports in the fields of oil and gas, with an advanced and large with the construction of a pipeline in our further northwestern province which potentially cross toward and Lijiang, and maybe beyond. So we would wonder to hear about your government views on these issues".
