Chapter 302
302 The royal family
I heard that the bloody demon church has been causing trouble in Shangjing these days. Wangchuan, you’re in charge of Shangjing and can maintain the stability of Shangjing. You can also suppress the members of the bloody demon church and eliminate most of the remaining members of the bloody demon church in Shangjing. Your cooperation with the DA ting Kingdom is also very successful. The military is very satisfied. Not bad, not bad. You didn’t let me down, Xuanji.
In the Imperial Palace’s year-extending Hall, the Emperor of the great Shang looked at Beitang Wangchuan and gave a rare praise. He nodded his head lightly and said ‘not bad’ twice.
Those who were familiar with the Emperor knew that the Emperor usually didn’t show his emotions on his face and rarely praised others. This time, he had praised Beitang Wangchuan so highly, which meant that he was very satisfied with him.
The Emperor of the great Shang was called Beitang Zhao. His face shape was somewhat similar to Beitang Wangchuan’s, except that his brow bone was a little high and his long eyebrows were like sideburns. The sideburns were a little grayish white and his eyes were like a deep abyss. In his pitch-black eyes, there was a little cold star that flickered, making him look unfathomable. The aura on Beitang Zhao’s body was like a dragon crouching and a Tiger crouching. At this moment, he was sitting on the Dragon Throne, but he gave people the feeling of looking up at a tall mountain. The pressure was so great that everyone in the hall could not breathe. She could only deal with him carefully as if she was walking on thin ice.
yesterday, the adjudicator Army just killed poison demon. The three demons of the bloody demon church are still missing. I wanted to eliminate the remaining evil of the bloody demon church before my father returns. I am ashamed that I have not completed my task!
Beitang Wangchuan’s face didn’t have a trace of pride. Instead, he lowered his head and said humbly.
When he said this, for some reason, Beitang Wangchuan thought of what Xia ping ‘an had said to him when he saw Xia ping’ an and Xia ping ‘an in the dream at the Duke of Zhou tower. when the Army is defeated, the master is ominous. This is a bad omen. But young master, in the defeated Army, you have a flame burning your body. This is a sign of help from a noble.
It was a bad omen that the five Devils of the bloody demon church had come to Shangjing city. However, two of them had been killed by the judgement Army because of Xia ping ‘an. If this wasn’t the help of a benefactor, what was it? If water demon had succeeded in the Dragon Boat Race on the peach blossom bridge and caused many casualties in Shangjing, he would have been the one to take the blame. At this moment, the situation in the year-extending Palace would probably be different.
That Xia Pingan was really his ‘benefactor’ and ‘Lucky Star’.
the battle between us and the bloody demon church has been going on for more than eight or ten years. There’s no need to rush. Among the five demons, the water demon, the poison demon, and the corpse demon are the biggest threats to Shangjing. It’s already a rare feat that you were able to exterminate them before they caused chaos. There’s no need to blame Lao Ai. the Emperor smiled slightly and even consoled Beitang Wangchuan.
At this moment, another person in the year-extending Palace spoke. The person who spoke was sitting next to Beitang Wangchuan. He wore a bright armor and his face shape was somewhat similar to Beitang Zhao and Beitang Wangchuan, except that he seemed to be one or two years younger than Beitang Wangchuan. His eyes were like the moon in the clouds, and the light was restrained, as if it was always hidden. The person smiled and said, ” father, big brother has been ruling the country these days. He should be rewarded well!
This man was Beitang Wangchuan’s half-brother, Beitang wangshan, the king Jing of the great Shang.
“Mm,” Beitang Zhao muttered.
When Beitang Wangchuan heard that Beitang wangshan wanted the Emperor to reward him, he felt as if a slippery venomous snake was right next to him. The hair on his spine stood on end, and he immediately became 120% alert. Before Beitang Zhao could speak, he hurriedly smiled and said, ” sixth brother, you’re wrong. As the Crown Prince, it’s my duty to supervise the country. As long as Shangjing and great Shang have good weather, the country is prosperous, and the people are safe, as long as father can patrol the West in peace. That’s the best reward for me. Why would I need another reward from father?”
big brother is right. He’s open-minded and has great ambitions. I have to learn more from big brother! The young man in armor also smiled and greeted the stall owner, River of forgetfulness.
no, no, I heard that sixth brother had outstanding military achievements at the front line, leading his Army to behead hundreds of thousands of the one-eyed race. It’s our great Shang Kingdom’s fortune that sixth brother is so brave! Beitang Wangchuan also praised the ” sixth brother ” loudly, ” father should reward sixth brother more!
I’m not brave at all. It’s all because of father’s wisdom and strategic planning that we won. I’m just a small soldier under father’s command, ” the young man also smiled and said humbly.
The two brothers praised each other, declined each other’s offer, and acted humbly. They really looked like ” brothers who were respectful ” and ” happy and harmonious “.
The Emperor only narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his head. His gaze seemed to penetrate the room and look at the sky. It was as if he didn’t notice anything wrong with the ” harmonious ” atmosphere between the Crown Prince and King Jing.
Seeing that the Emperor did not speak and seemed to be thinking about something, the Crown Prince and King Jing slowly closed their mouths. They smiled and nodded at each other, then sat upright.
the opening of the demonic door this time is different from any other time in the past, ” the Emperor finally opened his mouth, ” the turmoil in the upper realm is getting bigger and bigger. The Golden Hall of deification might open again. The great Shang kingdom has to make preparations early, so do I. When the time is appropriate, I’ll head to the upper realm to look for opportunities to open up.
The apotheosis Golden Hall would open again?
This news was very shocking, and it came from the emperor’s mouth, so it couldn’t be fake.
Beitang Wangchuan’s heart trembled. He looked at Beitang wangshan and realized that Beitang wangshan was also looking at him. Both of their eyes were flickering with divine light.
River of forgetfulness, from today onwards, the great Shang Empire will officially implement a type of resource control to prepare for the upcoming changes. Go and make the arrangements!
“Yes!” Beitang Wangchuan suppressed the shock in his heart, stood up, and bowed to accept the order.
wangshan, I’ll leave the demon gate on the sea to you. You’ll be in charge of guarding it!
Beitang wangshan also stood up at once, bowed and accepted the order. yes!
“Alright, you may leave!” The Emperor waved his hand gently,”let them in, Yingluo.”
After Beitang Wangchuan and Beitang wangshan left yanshen Palace, their brothers and sisters entered yanshen Palace one by one to pay their respects to the Emperor.
There were more than twenty princesses and princes in Shangjing. Among these people, the most outstanding were Beitang Wangchuan and Beitang Wanshan. The other princes were unable to compete with the two. They had long given up their thoughts and obediently became their own rich princes. As for princesses, there were only four who had not yet married.
The Emperor was touring the capital, and all the princes and princesses had to come to pay their respects.
After the princes and princesses finished their greetings and left yannian Palace, the Emperor frowned slightly and asked the attendant beside him, showing a rare look of concern. where’s CAO Cao? why isn’t cao Cao here? is he sick? ”
we’ve already informed the princess, but she’s still in the Imperial Kitchen. She hasn’t come out yet, ” the attendant said helplessly.
“The Imperial Kitchen?” The emperor’s expression suddenly became gentle and cheerful, without any stern Majesty. It was as if he had heard something funny. He couldn’t help but laugh. she’s already so old, and she still likes to steal food from the Imperial Kitchen? ”
“This Qianqian Princess was in the Imperial Kitchen last night and did not come out to take a stroll.”
“Oh, she was already in the Imperial Kitchen yesterday. Let’s go, this one wants to go to the Imperial Kitchen to see Zhenzhen.”
Beitang wangyou was named wangyou because it was named by Beitang Zhao himself. Beitang wangyou had been innocent since young and was extremely cute. Every time he saw the smile on his daughter’s face, Beitang Zhao felt that he could forget all his worries and troubles, so he gave her such a name.
Among all the princesses and princes in Shangjing, Cao Cao was the most favored by Beitang Zhao.
When the Emperor arrived at the Imperial Kitchen, he saw the Royal chefs and the female officials in charge of the Imperial Kitchen standing outside the Imperial Kitchen with strange expressions on their faces. A hasty voice came from the Imperial Kitchen, ” Cuicui, fan the fire. Pay attention to the heat control. The soup is almost ready. You can send it to father and let him have a taste of my cooking. Hmph, Hmph, father will definitely be shocked.
When the female chefs of the Imperial Kitchen saw that bei tangzhao had personally come, they were so frightened that they wanted to bow. Bei tangzhao made a hand gesture to stop everyone from moving, and then he walked into the Imperial Kitchen with light steps.
A smile appeared on Beitang Zhao’s face when he heard these hasty words, and all his worries disappeared.
Cao Cao, who was in the Imperial Kitchen, was wearing a short-sleeved dress and an apron around her waist. She looked like a female chef as she directed the maidservants beside her to fan the fire. She stood in front of the stove and stared attentively at a clay pot on the stove. Something was stewing in the clay pot, and it was bubbling with hot steam. An alluring fragrance was already coming out.
“F * ck, what are you doing!”
ah, Yingluo. she hastily turned around and saw that Beitang Zhao was already standing behind her with a smile. Her eyes immediately widened. father, why are you back? ”
hahahaha! Beitang Zhao laughed heartily as he looked at Cao Cao’s disheveled face, which was covered in soot and smoke. He reached out and scratched Cao Cao’s nose. why? shouldn’t I have come? ”
no, why did you suddenly appear here? how can an Emperor enter the Imperial Kitchen? you’re shameless. I’m not done yet. Get out, get out. I’m making soup. I’ll bring it to you when I’m done. You’re not allowed to peek at Xuanji at this time. she stomped her feet and pushed bei tangzhao, who was laughing loudly, out of the Imperial Kitchen.
……
Two hours later, bei tangzhao was in the Imperial study, drinking the soup that Cao Cao had brought over after dressing up. He looked at Cao Cao’s face full of anticipation and pride. The words ‘hurry up and praise me’ were almost on her face. Bei tangzhao put down the bowl with a smile. not bad, not bad. Cao Cao, this soup you made is different from the ones made by the Imperial chefs. The taste is very unique. It’s good, it’s good. I want to eat more steamed buns tonight.
As the Emperor of the great Shang, there was nothing Beitang Zhao had not eaten before. This was because this soup was specially prepared by his daughter. She put in a lot of effort and it was different from the rest, which made him feel extremely gratified.
Of course, the soup did seem a little different.
of course. This soup is called ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’. It takes half a day to be done. It’s very nourishing. You won’t be able to eat it even if you travel all over Shangjing! Cao Cao was happy.
Cao Cao, you’ve grown up and you can even make soup for me. Tell me, what do you want? I’ll give it to you, or I’ll give you a piece of land.
“I don’t want it. I just want you to finish the soup I made for you. Don’t waste it. I made it especially for you!” He said seriously.
“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t waste it, I’ll definitely finish it all.”
The time he spent with Cao Cao was truly carefree and happy. After drinking the soup from Cao Cao Castle and watching Cao Cao leave in satisfaction, bei tangzhao put away the gentle expression on his face and once again revealed the majesty of an Emperor.
Beitang Zhao clapped his hands, and a ball of black smoke appeared in front of him. The black smoke had the shape of a human, and it was kneeling on one knee.
“Investigate where Cao Cao learned that soup from and who Cao Cao is in contact with these days.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The black smoke disappeared.
This time, the smile on Cao Cao’s face was still pure and flawless, but there seemed to be some hazy thoughts hidden in his eyes. Also, Cao Cao seemed to like dressing up a little, and the makeup on his face was more exquisite. Cao Cao, who rarely wore earrings, had actually started to wear them. These details did not escape bei tangzhao’s eyes.
Beitang Zhao felt that his daughter had grown up a lot.
Only an hour later, a thick stack of documents was placed in front of bei tangzhao. It was a rough record of who he had been in contact with these days, where he had gone, and what he had said. Everything was recorded without missing a word.
Among the materials, there were also some hastily written letters. The letters were wrinkled, all written, probably crumpled into a ball and thrown away, then written again, crumpled into a ball and thrown away, turning over and over again. The words on the paper were changed over and over again, drawn over and over again, full of the worries and longing of a young girl.
Among all the information and the messy handwriting and drawings, the name that bei tangzhao saw the most was … Xia Pingan!
