Jiutian slowly removed his mask, revealing a fair and tender face to Xie Zhaozhao.

Zhou Shaoyu, Nanxing, Beichen, Dongyue, Xiluo... all eagerly looked at Jiutian's face.

Yuanyuan and Manman both came this time.

When Jiutian removed his mask, all the guests from the Jade Dragon Kingdom were so excited that their eyes welled up with tears.

That must be the child of Emperor An and Emperor Chen!

His narrow, majestic phoenix eyes, his face that resembled Zhou Shaoyu by eight parts, and his nose and mouth that were almost identical to Xie Zhaozhao's were all cut from the same mold.

Who else could this be but their Nine Heavens ***!

Zhou Qize exclaimed, "You look just like me!"

Jiutian said, "But I don't wet the bed."

Everyone was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Nanxing said, "Princess Jiutian, I am sending you 100,000 shi of grain. Please return the grain and send it back to me."

Bei Chen said, "I will give you 300,000 shi of grain."

Nanxing frowned: "What do you mean? I sent 100,000 shi, and you sent 300,000 shi. Are you doing this on purpose?"

Bei Chen said, "You're married now, but I'm still single. Money is useless to me; I'll just use it to buy grain and send it to Princess Jiutian."

Li Yunmu said, "I will send 500,000 shi of fine grain, and the princess can keep the other jewels and jade artifacts for her to play with."

Zhou Lingyin also said, "I will also send you 500,000 shi of fine grain, and I will send you a boatload of fine horses to play with. The princess can build a horse farm."

Li Yunmu said, "That's right. I'll also send you a boatload of fine horses. We'll build a horse farm in the future, and I'll come to your horse farm to participate in horse races."

Yunyang and his men all had money, grain, and horses, and they all agreed to send grain and horses to Jiutian.

Yin Jin'an smiled and said, "You don't know, Long Xiang is different from other children. She is not destined to be wealthy. You give her too much, and she can't bear it."

So you should all take them back.

Jiutian blinked and said, "You are all from the Jade Dragon Kingdom, right?"

"yes!"

"If you all send me grain, won't the people of Yulong Kingdom not have enough to eat? Even if you have money, it won't work. If you give out so much grain all at once, your country will be in chaos!"

Xie Zhaozhao hugged her tightly: "The Nine Heavens are the most benevolent."

Li Yunmu said to Zhou Lingyin, "Princess, you may not know this, but grain can be transported back from places like Haixi Kingdom. We have large ocean-going ships."

After saying this, he turned to Yin Jin'an and said, "Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

Yin Jin'an smiled and said, "Although ocean shipping is highly profitable, it still has costs."

What he really wanted to say was, could we cooperate with the State of Qi to open up the Maritime Silk Road?

The State of Qi is too poor; relying solely on farming will only lead to continued hardship for the country.

But he didn't speak. He was now the ruler of a country, and those were his brothers. Their statuses were completely different now.

Jiutian said, "I am not destined to be wealthy, but I can donate it. Qi is too poor. Give all the supplies to my second uncle. I will donate them all to him."

Zhou Shaoyu looked at his daughter, who was completely biased towards him, and said helplessly, "Princess, Emperor Aotian is a wise and good emperor. I believe that the Qi Kingdom will develop rapidly."

However, the other uncles and aunts who doted on the princess saw that Jiutian only had eyes for the child and said, "We will give the grain to the princess, and we will not care how she uses it."

This was a gift from the brothers to the State of Qi, but fearing it would hurt their pride, they used the name of the Nine Heavens to offer assistance.

At lunchtime that day, Yin Jin'an hosted a banquet for His Majesty the Emperor of Yulong Kingdom and his entourage.

They spared no effort in hosting their old friend.

Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu also brought the best wine from Yulong Kingdom. The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely. For the first time since Yin Jin'an's transmigration, she drank with a carefree heart.

Xie Zhaozhao knew that the State of Qi was backward, but she did not expect it to be this backward.

After the establishment of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, everything unfolded as Guan Yingying had predicted a thousand years later. The Jade Dragon Kingdom's economy was at least fifty years ahead of the Qi Kingdom.

Yin Jin'an's state banquet, which spared no expense in the country's resources, was not much different from the lavish dinner that Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin had.

But none of the brothers said anything; they just felt sorry for him.

Among the officials of the State of Qi, there were newly risen nobles like Wang Can, but most were officials left over from the Western Xia dynasty.

For the first time, they sat at the same table as the monarch of the strongest nation in the Tian Sheng Continent, and even the entire world. This was an honor they could boast about for a lifetime.

They toasted and drank, and both sides enjoyed themselves immensely.

Yin Jin'an drank until late afternoon, and he had drunk too much. He had a splitting headache and felt like the whole world was buzzing.

“Living Guanyin, it’s so good to see you again!” He swayed as he held a glass of wine and walked up to Xie Zhaozhao, saying, “It was you who pulled me out of the mire, let me see the sunshine and the moonlight, and let me know how beautiful this world is… I toast you.”

The words "living Guanyin" instantly broke Xie Zhaozhao's defenses. She choked back tears and softly called out "Second Master Yin," her eyes blurring with tears.
