Fang Ruotang, however, was not in the mood to appreciate it and nervously gave him a wink.
[What a ruthless character! The Emperor is right here in the main hall! He dares to show off like this. I'll save him when the Emperor reprimands him! After all, he's been quite good to me. It's just that the Emperor, that old scoundrel, will probably try to trick me out of my elixir again.]
The young prince froze.
The Emperor's world brightened. He straightened his back, his handsome face darkened, and his imperial authority emerged. He opened his mouth and gave the young prince a good scolding, blaming him for his disrespect in the main hall.
Fang Ruotang pouted, interrupting the Emperor's reprimand.
"Don't curse him, he's under my protection. You... here, take this, we're even." Fang Ruotang huffed as she got up and tossed a bottle over.
The emperor's furious expression vanished, replaced by a beaming smile as he asked, "What is this?"
"Foundation Building Pill! You saw Shishi achieve Foundation Building the other day, didn't you want it? Keep it! You can use it directly when the time comes."

Fang Ruotang poked at the small mirror again with a pained expression, and finally took out a ring and gave it to the Emperor, saying, "There are 10,000 spirit stones in here, use it sparingly."
Fang Ruotang felt that raising the Emperor was more difficult than raising Shishi and Yan Yan combined, mainly because the investment was in Shishi and Yan Yan, and the results would be seen soon.
But the Emperor, although he also has dual spiritual roots like his elder brother, somehow seems to devour all the good stuff, yet his cultivation hasn't increased much, and he's not even as good as his elder brother.
"Alright, alright. Since the Grand Preceptor has spoken, let's let this matter drop. Just don't do it again next time."
The Emperor kept a straight face, knowing that even when putting on an act, one should go all the way. He finished the performance by giving Gu Nancheng a look at the end, both praising him for doing a good job and hoping that he would continue to work hard.
Today's meeting was worthwhile.
The young prince's face turned black with anger.
This emperor is truly cunning.
No wonder Xiao Jingzi encouraged Fang Ruotang to call him Lao Deng.
