The convoy headed straight for the palace.
We arrived at the main hall of the palace.
Empress Dowager Xiao heard that Jiang Tian had sent someone to deliver the order.
She immediately arranged for the imperial kitchen to prepare a banquet.
Above the main hall of the imperial palace.
Steaming hot, a dazzling array of dishes were laid out.
Everyone raised their glasses.
For a moment, everyone was clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, and everyone was extremely happy.
Princess Qiong Yao knelt beside Jiang Tian, pouring him wine and adding dishes to his plate.
Jiang Tian waved to Princess Qiong Yao: "Go back to your palace now. I have something to tell you tonight."
The girl was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly stood up, lowered her head, and ran straight to Jiang Tian's palace.
The main halls of the palace were all decorated with lanterns.
Soon, Song Yingxing and his men set up several electric lights.
The main hall of the palace was immediately illuminated.
The light emitted by these bulbs illuminated the entire palace hall.
Bright light shone through the doors and windows of the palace hall.
The palace halls became like a fairyland on earth.
Jiang Tian stood up and picked up his wine.
"Li Jing, let me introduce you. This is Song Yingxing, the Minister of Science and Technology under my command, Jiang Tian."
Jiang Tian picked up his wine glass and walked up to Song Yingxing.
Li Jing stood up and followed Jiang Tian to Song Yingxing.
"In the next few days, I will launch a war to annihilate the Xianbei."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing pointed to the outside of the palace hall.
Outside the palace hall, the north wind howled.
A strong wind whipped up heavy snowflakes, which then fluttered down.
When Li Jing arrived outside the city gate, the snow was already above his knees.
"My lord, it is still five thousand li to the Xianbei. The snow outside is knee-deep, and neither men nor horses can travel."
"If my lord wishes to launch a war of annihilation against the Xianbei, he must wait until the snow stops and melts."
“Li Jing, your concerns are not without merit, but I have Song Yingxing, which is enough for me.”
"At that time, we will suddenly rush to their city and catch them off guard."
I reckon the Xianbei people would never have imagined that we would launch a sudden attack on them before the New Year.
Jiang Tian's words greatly surprised Li Jing.
Li Jing roamed the northern deserts for many years.
Whether it was the conquest of the Turks or the conquest of the Tuyuhun, both took place in this harsh and cold northern land.
Li Jing was most familiar with this harsh and cold northern land.
"Oh..." Li Jing was somewhat puzzled. "There's such a thing?"
"Of course, in addition to that, the muskets and cannons equipped by your Tiger Legion were also provided by Song Yingxing and his men."
Li Jing had never seen any firearms or cannons before. When he heard Jiang Tian say this, he said, "My lord, I would like to see the power of these firearms and cannons."
"When you see the truth."
"Come on, let's keep drinking and dancing."
Everyone sat down.
They drank until the early hours of the next day.
It was almost dawn.
Jiang Tiancai rode in the imperial carriage, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and headed straight for his bedchamber.
...
On the bed in the palace.
Princess Qiong Yao sat there dressed in her finest attire.
This little girl is extremely sleepy.
My eyelids are drooping.
The little girl's eyes were about to give out, but she was still struggling to stay open.
"Lord Jiang has arrived," the eunuch outside called out.
Qiong Yao, the young girl, quickly got up from the bed.
The young girl walked to the door and knelt there respectfully. "This humble servant welcomes you, sir."
"What time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?" Jiang Tian asked.
"My lord told me to come back and wait for you at the banquet, so I have been waiting here ever since."
"Alright, help me bathe and change."
"This humble servant wishes to perform a dance for Your Excellency."
"Why didn't you dance in the palace hall just now?" Jiang Tian asked, holding Princess Qiongyao's hand.
"This dance is only for you, my lord. I don't want to dance for others."
Jiang Tian nodded and reached out to pinch the little girl's flawless cheek.
The two sat down on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Tian suddenly felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him.
I drank too much alcohol earlier.
Jiang Tian pulled the little girl down onto the bed with a thud.
Princess Qiong Yao felt both excited and somewhat worried and afraid.
Within a few short seconds, countless images flashed through Princess Qiong Yao's mind.
However, soon after, Jiang Tian's snoring could be heard.
After finishing his drink, Jiang Tian snored loudly.
Jiang Tian's heavy body pressed down on Princess Qiong Yao.
The girl pushed hard, but Jiang Tian didn't budge.
Outside the window, the cold wind howled, but inside, it was warm and cozy.
"Your Highness, you should rest." Two palace maids stepped forward. "Your Highness, let us carry Lord Jiang over."
"No need, it's fine to just let him lie here." Princess Qiongyao felt the hormonal aura emanating from Jiang Tian.
This little girl is also extremely sleepy.
Jiang Tian's snoring was like thunder.
Princess Qiong Yao fell into a deep sleep.
This little girl has never slept so soundly before.
Even though Jiang Tian's snoring was deafening, Princess Qiong Yao was completely unaware.
The little princess slept soundly amidst Jiang Tian's snoring.
...
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky.
Jiang Tian woke up and came over.
He glanced at Princess Qiong Yao on the bed.
The little girl is sleeping very happily and contentedly.
"I didn't do anything last night, did I?"
Princess Qiong Yao was a woman of unparalleled beauty, both lovely and exceptionally beautiful.
