……

The Daqian royal family has produced countless descendants since Emperor Ziwei Xuandu.

With the change of power, the former direct lineage will gradually become a side branch, and the declining side branch may occasionally have an amazingly talented person, making this lineage rise again.

As the largest aristocratic family in Daqian, the Wu family, like other aristocratic families with a long history, has a huge population base. But most of them can't be said to be very promising. At most, they rely on the name of the royal family to occupy more resources, or help manage some royal properties.

However, the royal family is still a royal family after all. It has a strong foundation and powerful strength. There are eleven princes still alive today, and the number of princes and counties is even larger.

Among them, the lineage of Prince Dexin is currently the most powerful lineage of the royal family. There are two princes with magical power level alone, and the number of county princes has reached eighteen.

And the upward momentum of this line is still very strong, and the future potential is far more than this.

Kang Junwang, one of the quasi-emperor's sons, is one of the leaders of this younger generation.

Little Princess Xuening, who is now extremely favored by His Majesty, is also from the bloodline of Prince Dexin. Her grandfather is Prince Yongan's cousin "Prince Rongjun", although Prince Rongjun is not as talented as Prince Yongan. , but finally he also has the position of county king.

The small branch of King Rongjun is not very prosperous, and most of them are mediocre. No one has been able to rush to the Zifu realm and inherit his mantle, so that the current number of King Rongjun is 650 Years old, my son and grandson have suffered a lot.

However, Prince Rong was an old-hearted man. When he was five hundred years old, he couldn't help but renew his relationship. He gave birth to his youngest son Wu Yingcai even though he was old and strong. His talent and qualifications were pretty good, but his awakening was relatively rare. The white dragon bloodline.

Relying on the old man's love for his young wife and son, Prince Rong found a way to obtain blood qualification improvement fluid and other things, cultivated Wu Yingcai into a genius, and managed to marry Chen, the legitimate daughter of the Daqian Chen family. His wife is his wife.

Only waiting for Wu Yingcai to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, then go to the battlefield outside the territory to earn some merit, and then report to His Majesty and open a county palace for him. By then, his lineage will be regarded as the king of two counties in one lineage, and his status and voice in the direct lineage will be much higher.

The reason why Wu Yingcai is mentioned is because Wu Yingcai and Chen's legitimate daughter had an amazing daughter - Wu Xuening!

Her innate qualifications are extraordinary. She is also of the white dragon bloodline, but she is much stronger than her father. When the bloodline qualifications were identified when he was seven or eight years old, Prince Dexin of this lineage was alarmed and reported to His Majesty. He was then included in the royal family's key training list and received top-notch treatment.

In addition to the importance that the royal family attaches to Wu Xuening, Chen, the leader of the third-grade family, also attaches great importance to Xuening, their direct granddaughter, and often secretly subsidizes her. Although it is not as good as the treatment of the magical power species in the family, it is more than the resource subsidies of ordinary purple family species.

Prince Rongjun and Wu Yingcai, as well as Xuening's mother Chen, also became popular because of Wu Xuening.

This day.

Rongjun Prince’s Mansion.

Early in the morning, the servants of Rongjun Prince's Mansion began to busy cleaning, decorating with lights and laying out red carpets.

This is not a happy event, but three distinguished guests are about to arrive at Rongjun Prince's Mansion.

The old and strong Prince Rong, together with his "young wife" Meng, who is about 200 years old, as well as Wu Yingcai and Chen's couple, entertained the distinguished guests.

These three distinguished guests are Zhao Yijing, Princess of Kang County, Zhao Zhikun, the magical species of Duke Anguo, and Zhao Yuanqing, the great talent of the younger generation of Duke Anguo.

Needless to say, Zhao Yijing. Her status is not comparable to that of ordinary county princesses, and there is a high probability that she will be crowned queen in the future.

And Zhao Zhikun of Duke Anguo's Mansion is also an extraordinary figure, the future ancestor of supernatural powers. Moreover, he went to foreign battlefields several times and performed well and returned with many military exploits. Even His Majesty praised his achievements and was often rewarded.

These are not the most important things. He is now the successor carefully cultivated by the contemporary chief assistant Zhao Hongbo. The future mainstay of Daqian Country, the top powerful boss.

The Daqian country system is that the royal family and the aristocratic family jointly rule the world. The larger and more powerful the aristocratic family is, it is equivalent to having more "shares" in the collective of Daqian, having more political influence, and gaining more power.

Nowadays, when there is only one second-grade family in Daqian, the position of chief assistant falls on the Zhao family, which is well deserved. This is also the share they deserve for their contributions to Daqian over the years. .

Even if King Anjun is lucky enough to ascend to the throne of emperor in the future, it will be difficult to shake the position of the Zhao family's first assistant in a short time. We can only weaken it little by little and support other aristocratic families to replace it, just like how Emperor Longchang dealt with the Daqian Wang family.

This is the confidence of the second-grade family.

Another young genius, Zhao Yuanqing, is only fifty years old and has just stepped into the heavenly realm. According to Shang Jingcheng, he is still a young and energetic child!

At this time, Zhao Yuanqing was wearing a blue and white young Xuanwu costume. The fabric was made of the famous tribute fabric - Baiyun Lingjin fabric.

This fabric is woven from the spiritual cotton produced by the Lingjin tree, a heterogeneous spiritual plant that has reached the eighth level. This spiritual brocade is soft in texture and very tough. It is not only comfortable to wear, but also provides a lot of benefits. defense effect. It's just that the price is extremely expensive, with the average price of each set reaching 800,000 dry gold, which is more expensive than a medium-grade magic weapon!

The eighth-level spiritual brocade tree must grow on top-grade small wood-type spiritual veins, and it needs nutrients all year round. It takes ten years to produce a batch of spiritual cotton.

Even if the brocade weaving technology has been improved as much as possible, it can barely weave a dozen pieces of Baiyun Ling brocade, and a total of one or two hundred sets of clothes can be made, most of which are supplied to the royal family or exported to the Immortal Dynasty.

After all, there are too few monks in Daqian who can afford the clothes made from Baiyun Lingjin.

This is not a question of whether you can afford it, but a question of whether you are willing to part with it. After all, clothes are consumables, unlike magic weapons that can be passed down for generations.

The Guilongcheng Jin family is an inconspicuous fifth-grade family in the upper capital. Just because they plant this eighth-level spiritual brocade tree in the suburban manor, their average annual gross income is no less than a thousand handfuls of gold. , the life was very nourishing and comfortable, which really made many aristocratic families "envy, envy and hate".

As Zhao Yuanqing can wear Bai Yunling's brocade clothes, one can imagine how much he is favored by the Zhao family. He also carries Zhao's ambition to try to achieve the five or even six magical powers.

Compared with the status of the Zhao family, although several members of the Rongjun Palace are members of the royal family, they are not the main branch of the direct lineage after all, and their confidence is much weaker after all. The difference in real status can be reflected from the rules of their hospitality and the importance they attach to this visit.

Prince Rongjun is six to seven hundred years old. As a Xuanwu monk in the Purple Mansion Realm, he has entered his old age.

At this time, his beard and hair were all white, but he was in great spirits, his face was red, and he enthusiastically entertained the Zhao family: "Brother Zhikun, I heard that you have made great achievements in the battlefield outside the territory this time. With this meritorious service, and after practicing in the cabinet for a few years, and accumulating enough reputation and connections, it will be more logical to take over the position of Senior Hong Bo in the future. Congratulations~"

"Your Majesty, the Prince of the County, has given you the award." Zhao Zhikun said with a calm smile, "It is my duty to kill the enemy on the battlefield. When I was on the battlefield outside the territory, I also heard about the demeanor of Prince Rong, and I just lamented that I was not alive. At that time, I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes.”

After a few compliments to each other.

Kang County Princess Zhao Yijing smiled lightly at Rong County Princess and said: "Grandma Ninth, I heard that little Princess Xuening is living in the palace again? My ancestors really doted on her."

Princess Meng of Rongjun County was born in the fourth-grade Meng family. The strongest ancestor in the family, Meng Yuanbai, was a third-grade official in the current dynasty. He held the position of director of the Sancai Department, which was a very popular time.

Meng Yuanbai and the Meng family, one of whom is a third-rank official in the officialdom, and the other is a princess of the royal family, can be regarded as mutual aid, forming a relatively stable and not weak power structure.

It was precisely because of this that the Meng family was willing to marry the young prodigy's legitimate daughter to the wretched old man of Rongjun Prince.

But this position of power is far inferior to that of the Princess of Kang County.

Even though Meng was older than Zhao Yijing and slightly older, she was still smiling at this time, showing a somewhat flattering expression: "The inner guard came to summon us. It was our ancestor who ordered Xuening to live in the palace and entertain us. A few little guests."

Of course, the most talented person in the entire Rongjun Palace is Princess Xuening. Although Xuening is young, her seniority is not low. She is the same generation as King Wu Chengsi of Kang County.

Prince Rongjun is of the same generation as Prince Yongan and Prince Kang’s grandfather, Prince Tai. It can be seen that the blood relationship between them is relatively close.

After another round of chatting and being polite.

Princess Kangjun finally explained the purpose of her visit: "Grandpa Ninth, Grandma Ninth. Yijing is here this time to say goodbye to Yuan Qing. Yuan Qing is the direct descendant of the Zhao family, with extraordinary talents and a promising future. He wants to inherit the position of Duke Anguo."

Say kiss.

In fact, this time the Zhao family is the princess of Kangjun, Zhao Zhikun, the great genius of the Purple Mansion Realm, and Zhao Yuanqing, the direct descendant of the Zhao family. It has been so grand that Prince Rong and his wife, and Wu Yingcai and his wife have already had something to do. Expected.

Taking an inventory of the young family members in Daqian, there are almost none who are worthy of Wu Xuening, and Zhao Yuanqing can barely be considered one.

The reason why I say it is reluctant is because Xue Ning is a great genius and a legitimate daughter of the royal family. Her status is more noble than ordinary great geniuses.

Generally speaking, according to the marriage method of weak women and strong men, Xue Ning can marry the emperor's son of other imperial royal families, or other first-class families, or even marry with the super-class families of the Immortal Dynasty.

"Your Highness Prince Rong." Zhao Yuankun said helpfully, "Our Zhao family and our Prince Dexin have many marriages with each other, and their relationship is already close. If the young princess can combine with Yuan Qing, it will be a powerful alliance. Although our Zhao family is not as good as a first-class family, we are better than being close to home. By then, little Princess Xuening will be just like she has never been married, and she can go back to her parents' home whenever she wants."

Rongjun Wang and his wife also considered this matter. If Xuening married to another country or to the Immortal Dynasty, although it would be more suitable for her talent and status, it would still be too far away from home. The Zhao family is actually not bad either. After King Kang ascends the throne, they will also be a top family with power, and their interests will be more closely integrated.

But Wu Xuening is not an ordinary child after all. The benefits brought by her marriage are too involved and cannot be decided directly by them.

Although Rongjun Wang and his wife were a little moved after hearing this, they did not dare to make any opinions. They said repeatedly: "This matter must be reported to the ancestor Ming Dexin and listen to his opinion."

"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Rong. As for Prince Dexin, our ancestors have already exchanged opinions with him, and he is very supportive of this." Zhao Yuankun said.

"Since the ancestors have no objections, of course I am also happy to see it happen." Prince Rong said relievedly.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then our Zhao family will prepare and come to formally propose marriage at a selected date." Zhao Yuankun said.

On such occasions, Wu Yingcai and his wife, Wu Xuening's biological parents, have almost no right to speak or vote.

Wu Yingcai had known for a long time that he would probably not be able to make the final decision in Xu Ning's marriage, so he was mentally prepared and had no objections to Zhao Yuanqing's child, so he always acted calmly, but Chen's face was vaguely unhappy.

But now in front of Princess Kang, Zhao Zhikun and others, she still controlled her expression and didn't show it clearly.

After the party ended, Wu Yingcai and his wife returned to their garden.

But Chen couldn't hold it in anymore and immediately exploded: "Wu Yingcai, that old guy is going to sell Xuening, but you don't even fart?"

Wu Yingcai looked slightly stunned: "Madam, do you disagree with this marriage? I think Yuan Qing's child is very good. He has good talent, great potential, and he is not picky as a person."

"What a fart!" Mrs. Chen said angrily with dissatisfaction, "Although Xuening is of your royal blood, she also has the blood of our Chen family. Our ancestors treated her like a treasure. What do we have at home? You have to leave a share for her. You are lucky enough to marry her off to the Zhao family. Where will this move put our Chen family?"

You must know that the Chen family now has two magical powers, and its power and status in the court are second only to the Zhao family. It has been secretly planning to develop three magical powers and become a second-grade family.

Although the two aristocratic families have not had any major conflicts on the surface, in fact, they have secretly clashed countless times in various fields, with a vague sense of tit-for-tat.

"Madam...but Ancestor Dexin also agreed." Wu Yingcai looked a little unnatural after being scolded, "I guess the ancestor must have his own ideas."

"Of course he has an idea!" This incident made Mrs. Chen so angry that she couldn't help but say, "Isn't the goal that the old guy wants to achieve most now is to make King Kang successfully succeed to the throne? Therefore, he did not hesitate to Selling Xuening as a bargaining chip to the Zhao family, so that they can put aside all scruples and go all out to support Prince Kang. By the way, he can also tie us Chen family to the warship and force us to take sides. How can he Are you happy but not doing it?"

The Zhao family is not simple. It is the only second-grade family in Daqian Kingdom. Apart from the inheritance of Emperor Lingxu, the comprehensive strength of the Zhao family is almost equal to 30 to 40% of the royal family.

Once the Zhao family puts aside their scruples and chooses to support Prince Kang without reservation and oppose Prince An, the entire royal family with voting rights will inevitably have more scruples, and even His Majesty will consider it carefully.

"Isn't it good for Prince Kang to succeed to the throne?" Wu Yingcai said, "We are very close to him, much closer than Prince An. He is my nephew..."

"Let's not say whether he succeeds or not, but why should we sacrifice our Chen family's granddaughter to please the Zhao family?" Chen said dissatisfied, "Wu Yingcai, you go to Dexin ancestor immediately, Just say that you don’t agree with this marriage for the time being and you need to think about it!”

"What?" Wu Yingcai's face turned pale with fright, "You, you, you, you actually asked me to disobey Ancestor Dexin?"

"I knew you didn't dare." Mrs. Chen's expression was extremely unkind, "But Ancestor Dexin really went too far in this matter, and he didn't take me, Mrs. Chen, seriously. Zhao The Chen family is indeed very powerful, but are we, the Chen family, so easy to bully? We, the Chen family, also have two ancestors with magical powers!"

"Although Xuening is of royal blood, she is still the granddaughter that our Chen family has high hopes for. Did he ask our ancestors for their opinions before making a decision?"

"Come here, prepare a car. I want to go back to my parents' house immediately to find my brother and my ancestors."

After Mrs. Chen lost her temper, she immediately returned to her parents’ home.

Wu Yingcai was somewhat henpecked and hurriedly followed him. His wife, the Chen family, is not a simple person. Her brother Chen Jinglong is a contemporary of the Daqian Chen family with supernatural powers, so he cannot be a simple character.

It can be imagined that when the people of the third-grade Chen family learned about this, they were in a state of panic again.

Let’s not mention this for now.

……

Same time period.

Guandu, Anjiang, Changning.

Today, Changning Anjiang Guandu has been contracted to the Wang family, who is responsible for the repair, maintenance, and operation. Except for 30% of the income as contracting fees, Wang is responsible for the rest.

However, under Wang's management, Anjiang Guandu became increasingly busy and the port expanded, gradually becoming the number one port in the lower reaches of Anjiang. Many goods flowing out of Longzuo County by waterway gradually gathered in Guandu, Anjiang.

The busy business also prompted more merchants to come to gold mining. Most of them are casual cultivators, or are from the Xuanwu family, which is not popular in the ninth rank or below, or are descendants of some families.

They may travel alone, in groups of three or five, or with many people in groups, relying on a small number of horse-drawn carriages to transport goods, earning sometimes meager and sometimes huge profits.

Don't underestimate the traveling merchant industry. In terms of transportation scale and capital alone, they are far inferior to regular merchants.

But precisely because they spend their days crawling around at the bottom, facing the most basic foundation of society, and being in contact with people from all kinds of religions and schools all the time, they always have some secret information channels in their hands, and their sense of smell is often very good. keen.

Some powerful merchants are no worse than some regular merchants in terms of their sense of smell.

As far as the entire Longzuo County is concerned, Changningwei is undoubtedly the place with the most opportunities to make money, and the richest places in Changningwei are of course Ping'an Town, Xin'an Town and other places.

Wang's bulk purchase of goods comes from Qian's Trading Company, which is very good at land logistics. The purchase of small and expensive goods is all operated through Shouda Trading Company.

But even so, there are still countless businessmen who smell the business opportunities.

Wang's appetite for all kinds of seeds, metals, high-quality wood, strange ores, oils, and other high-quality raw materials is almost bottomless.

Although Qian's Trading Company and Shouda Trading Company took care of most of the needs, they were unable to lick the pelvic floor too clean. And merchants are good at digging deep into the sinking market and digging out the detailed transactions at the bottom.

They search for the resources Wang needs from the bottom of society, and then transport them to Ping'an Town to obtain high returns. Then rely on this "friendship" to buy some Wang's special products from Wang's and continue to visit their sinking trivial market. Many businessmen have made a fortune, and the scale of business is getting bigger and bigger~

Intentionally or unintentionally, Wang also supports some outstanding merchants to fill the resource gap caused by the growing demand for raw materials. Thousands of traveling merchants, like industrious ants, search for resources everywhere and then transport them bit by bit to the Wang family.

The amount each time is not large, but the total amount of resources added up is very huge.

Among the traveling merchants coming and going, there were two traveling merchants, one old and one young. Although they are new traders, they understand Wang's needs very well.

They have an old carriage carrying the thick iron ingots that Wang wants most, as well as some of the high-quality fabrics, musk, fine carbon, etc. that can meet the needs of the residents under Wang's jurisdiction, all in Wang's territory Pick up goods that are in short supply.

When the goods were suitable, they declared the goods and checked their identities. They quickly passed the checkpoint set up by Wang and obtained temporary passes for Ping'an Town and Xin'an Town.

After that, the two of them took the ferry to Ping'an Town like other traveling merchants.

The dilapidated carriage drove slowly on the wide and smooth road in Ping'an Town, out of the sight of the Wang family generals, who all had sharp eyes and looked at people as if they were interrogating prisoners. Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While driving the carriage, they looked around, as if admiring the novel scenery of Ping'an Town that was different from other places.

One of the younger traveling merchants asked restrainedly: "Master, I heard that the Wang family is now covering the sky with one hand in Longzuo County, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today. Even the pass is a maverick. Let's come here for an unannounced visit, will we? Wouldn't it be dangerous?"

"I heard that there was a precedent of local tax officials who went on unannounced visits to die inexplicably."

"Don't worry, there are not 10,000, but 8,000 merchants coming and going in Ping'an Town every day. Not to mention that it is impossible for them to interrogate everyone's origins, not to mention that the identities we pretend are all true, reliable and safe. Sex is high."

"Besides, the methods used by the family to evade taxes are nothing more than those. Your teacher and I have been tax officials for so many years. I am very knowledgeable in these matters, and I guarantee that they will be investigated accurately. It won't take long, and we will be successful. Retired."

As soon as he heard this, the young man immediately became energetic and immediately pestered the teacher to ask what the family's tax evasion methods were.

The old tax official was helpless and had no choice but to explain to him.

"The first is to 'hide land in acres'." The tax official dressed as an old merchant explained, "This method is simple to say. You only need to relax your hands a few feet when measuring the acres, and you can measure the acres. One acre of land is registered as one acre, and one part of the land is 'hidden'. In this way, a thousand acres, ten thousand acres, and the hidden land is quite considerable. This is the meaning of 'hiding land in an acre'. '. And because this part of the hidden land is not included in the measured land, there is no need to pay taxes."

In the early days of land reclamation, local aristocratic families had extremely high prestige in the local area, and local officials would often turn a blind eye to them. It was not difficult to do this.

"There is a very simple way to solve this situation. That is to re-measure the land. This time, I brought the latest 'portable ruler' launched by the Engineering Department, which can accurately measure the acres. Here we go We will secretly test the place, and then we will know whether the Wang family has played the trick of "hiding the land in the acres". When the time comes, we will report it to the top, and the three agencies will conduct a thorough inventory and measurement, and we will definitely make the Wang family happy. Spit out all the hidden places."

"The second is the 'late plowing method'." The old tax official obviously had a lot of experience, and he talked about these things in a clear and coherent manner, "This method is also simple. It is to lie about the situation when opening up wasteland. Time."

"For example, in five years, a piece of land was almost ready for farming, but the family did not report it. Instead, it delayed it for more than 20 years, and then reported it for land registration. In addition, the land After registration, there is still a fifty-year tax holiday, which is equivalent to an extra twenty years of tax-free time."

The Wang family has been opening up wasteland for decades. It is not too easy to use this method.

"In this case, it is relatively troublesome to investigate. It requires detailed visits and investigations. The maturity of the land must also be appraised. However, as long as it is done, there will definitely be flaws. As long as the visits are careful enough, You can always find evidence."

"The third one is the spiritual field tax that is the most difficult to check. This is also the main tax evasion by aristocratic families." The old tax officer was a little confused when it came to the spiritual field tax. "The spiritual fields developed by aristocratic families often have a lot of tax evasion. The secrets are either kept in extremely secretive places, or are arranged with formation restrictions, and outsiders will never be allowed in, making it extremely difficult to check. However, if you insist on checking, it is not impossible. After all, if you plant spiritual materials, It is impossible to make medicine without leaving any trace. For example, purple-leaf polygonum multiflorum needs to be irrigated every month with spiritual springs containing Yimu spiritual energy. There are also many requirements for planting other kinds of elixirs and spiritual materials, and most of them need to be planted from outside. Once transported into the spiritual field, we can use this information to deduce the types of spiritual plants grown in the spiritual field."

"I see. This is indeed a good idea." The young tax officer nodded convincingly, "Aristocratic families cultivate spiritual plants for two purposes, either for their own use and to refine them into elixirs, or for sale to outsiders. In exchange for the resources we need. If we keep an eye on their external sales channels, we should be able to gain something. By confirming the two aspects, we can control the error within a relatively small range."

"Yes, children can be taught." The old tax official stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. He was obviously quite satisfied with his apprentice's inference. "However, this method has certain errors after all. Unless necessary, it can be used. No need. Our trip is for an unannounced visit. We will first measure the acres and then conduct a secret inspection. Everything is based on ensuring our own safety. We must act cautiously to avoid alerting the enemy."

"As soon as you seize evidence, report it immediately."

"As for the follow-up investigation, it is natural for the adults above to worry about it. Don't rush ahead because of greed."

The most taboo thing in their profession is to be greedy for credit and advance rashly. I don’t know how many tax officials who go on unannounced visits have fallen into this trap.

The old tax official was worried that the young man, young and energetic, would lose his sense of proportion and lose his life, so he warned him repeatedly.

While talking, another carriage came from the opposite direction.

The master and apprentice immediately pretended to be ordinary businessmen and covered up the past calmly.

Soon, the master and the apprentice successfully "sneaked into" Ping'an Town and began to secretly investigate, trying to find evidence of Wang's tax evasion. It's a pity that they underestimated Wang's defense methods and the importance they attached to intelligence work.

Had it not been for Wang's deliberate indulgence, they would have been intercepted and caught in Guandu, Changning.

……

Same time period.

The "Wangxian Pavilion" beside the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace.

The whole pavilion is made of spiritual wood and is more than tens of feet high. From a high position, you can take in most of the scenery of the imperial garden.

There are many rooms in Wangxian Pavilion, and they are also taken care of by eunuchs and maids, so the children live here and feel very comfortable.

The most important thing is that "Wangxian Pavilion" is one of the most spiritual places in the palace, which is very beneficial to the growth of children.

The top of Wangxian Pavilion.

The carved beams and painted buildings here are transparent on all sides, and it is also the place with the best view in the entire Wangxian Pavilion. It is perfect for drinking and having fun, reciting poems and painting, or even holding a barbecue party.

This is not just talk, but real roasting.

The chefs from the imperial dining room were called over, and they cooked and grilled all kinds of rare delicacies on the spot.

Emperor Longchang is playing chess. His opponent is Wang Anye, no, to be precise, it is Wang Anye’s master Ji Wuchen.

Among the people present, except for Wu Zhixing and Wu Xuening who were somewhat interested in watching the battle, people like Wang Lilong, Wang Yingxuan, and the five wolf cubs were all staring at the barbecue eagerly, and their saliva was almost drooling.

"Deadly kill!" Emperor Longchang fell down and killed Wang Anye, a big dragon. He laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, Anye, even with the help of Senior Ji, you can't do it. Next time you will Who else are you going to send up? Is it Miss Wuliang or Sister Seven? Or are you hiding other sisters? Wow haha~"

"Hey, you are a great emperor, how dare you bully a child?" The seventh sister of Legion Banner couldn't stand it, and she spat, "Is it worth laughing so wildly when you win against a twelve-year-old child?"

"I am an emperor who is about to die of old age, why can't I be arrogant?" Emperor Longchang smiled proudly, "An Ye, I will teach you to be a good boy. Although there is some luck involved in playing chess. , but in the end what matters is accumulation and foundation. In the future, in your life, don’t let yourself get carried away just because you have everything going smoothly.”

"Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty." Wang Anye stood up and saluted solemnly.

"The boy is teachable, much better than your great grandfather." Emperor Longchang said as if he had met Wang Shouzhe.

During this period of time, although Emperor Longchang was very angry with the few little wolves they brought out. But these little cubs are a bit more bearish, and they are really lovable.

He simply held this barbecue party. Is it okay to keep them all tied up?

As expected, under the temptation of delicious food and the personal supervision of him, the great emperor, everyone suddenly became honest.

Aside from being a little naughty, these children and cubs are actually pretty good. The Yao family has received three times the indemnity, and the real "Afterglow Picture of the Divine Dynasty" has also been obtained. In addition to losing half of the Taoist artifact... I can't think about this matter in detail, it will make me feel heartbroken.

At this time.

The inner guards came to report that it was Chen Jinglong of the Daqian Chen family who wanted to see the emperor.

Chen Jinglong is a magical species of Chen's generation. He has just turned 300 and is already at the sixth level of the Purple Mansion Realm. He will definitely be one of the pillars of the future Daqian Kingdom. Even now, Chen Jinglong can be regarded as a pillar of talent. He has performed well in both civil and martial arts, and has made many contributions to Da Qian.

Even the emperor pays more attention to such handsome men.

"Invite him over." Emperor Longchang smiled and said to Wu Xuening, "Xue Ning, what kind of nose does your uncle have? He must have smelled the aroma of the barbecue I carefully prepared."

Wu Xuening rolled her eyes, but she pouted and muttered: "My mother must be afraid that I will be naughty in the palace, so she specially asked my uncle to put a tight curse on me."

There are not many people she is afraid of, Chen Jinglong is one of them.

Not long after, a mature man who looked "in his thirties" came up to Wangxian Pavilion under the leadership of the chamberlain.

"Jinglong meets His Majesty." Chen Jinglong bowed his hands in salute.

"Jinglong, don't be too polite. You came just in time. Play a game of chess with me. If you win, I'll treat you to meat." Emperor Longchang waved kindly. After all, he is the younger generation he values ​​and has been cultivating. Naturally Very kind.

"Back to Your Majesty, Jinglong is angry now and can't concentrate on playing chess." Chen Jinglong's face was ugly, as if he was suppressing his overwhelming anger, and he apologized while suppressing his emotions.

"Oh?" Emperor Longchang looked him up and down, "Jinglong, you came here with bad intentions this time. Is this... a complaint? You are a magical seed in the middle and late stages of the Zifu realm and a pillar of the country. Who dares to bully you?" You?"

"Your Majesty." Chen Jinglong bowed deeply and said with an ugly face, "The Zhao family and Prince Dexin actually discussed that my niece Xuening should be betrothed to Zhao Yuanqing, the Zhao family's boy."

"That's right, I, Ms. Chen, are indeed not qualified to give advice on Xuening's marriage. But at any rate, we, Ms. Chen or Xuening, need to be consulted in advance, right? No matter what, we won't be looked upon by Prince Dexin. In his eyes, he has to ask His Majesty what you mean, right? You love Xuening so much, and her marriage must be approved by your nod."

"Scared?" Wu Xuening, who was just about to meet her uncle, was suddenly confused.

What the hell?

This little princess is already betrothed when she comes out to have a barbecue? ?

Her beautiful face turned pale. At this time, she secretly glanced at Wang Anye subconsciously. Although she didn't know why she wanted to look at Wang Anye, she still looked at it instinctively.

"Haha~"

The gentle smile on Emperor Longchang's face gradually solidified.

……
