If it were in the past, Emperor Daoyuan would definitely answer without hesitation that he was unwilling to marry and have children.
His determination was as decisive as his dismissal of the harem.
But faced with Bei Lingyao's seemingly relaxed but serious question, Emperor Daoyuan hesitated.
He was even afraid to speak.
Bei Lingyao smiled slightly, feeling a little frustrated.
After experiencing several worlds, she just let things take their course and everything happened naturally.
But in this world, she was always in front of Emperor Daoyuan, and when they left the capital, they often spent the night outdoors.
Emperor Daoyuan only admired her, and that was all.
She didn't know what to do.
Moreover, before this, the concubines had tried their best for eight years but no one had been able to win over this beautiful lady.
Concubine Tang was even thrown out without any respect.
"Report, the Minister of the Honglu Temple requests an audience."
A report broke the silence.
Emperor Daoyuan glanced at Bei Lingyao and said in a deep voice, "Announce."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites came in soon. He was not surprised to see Bei Lingyao there. After paying his respects to Emperor Daoyuan, he also saluted Bei Lingyao.
"Your Majesty has something to do, I will take my leave first."
"The Imperial Master should also listen to it."
Emperor Daoyuan asked Bei Lingyao to stay.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the seven nations are still twenty miles away from the capital. I have prepared everything, but this time each nation will send a Grandmaster to lead the delegation."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was very worried. Their Langya Kingdom originally had eight grand masters, but Duke Tang and Grand Master Li died and one was disabled, so now there are only six left.
In addition, Duke Tang used the soul-sucking Gu to harm many martial arts masters, martial arts masters, and martial artists with innate martial arts skills.
The Kingdom of Langya is in danger!
"Don't worry, my fellow apprentices will be here soon."
When Emperor Daoyuan said this, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites immediately breathed a sigh of relief and became happy again.
Qingfeng Temple has been secluded from the world for many years. It is a good thing that the emperor can now invite the Taoist priests from Qingfeng Temple.
The G8 summit is a place where countries test each other's national strength.
A hundred years ago there were more than ten countries, but now there are only eight left.
If Langya Kingdom is weak, even if it is not annexed by the other seven kingdoms, it will be bullied.
The next morning, Bei Lingyao also attended the court meeting.
There are three main points of this court meeting. The first one is to promote officials and fill vacant positions.
The second point is to open civil and military imperial examinations.
The third point is the preparation and arrangements for the G8 summit.
The G8 summit was a competition of both words and weapons.
Wenbi refers to the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs.
A martial arts competition is a martial arts contest in which martial artists at every stage below the Grandmaster compete in a ring.
In addition, there are horse riding and archery, lion dancing, dragon boat racing, tug-of-war, and jungle battles.
This tug-of-war competition is between two teams pulling a rope across a river, which tests both physical strength and endurance.
But they are all competitions of martial arts skills.
This is a competition below the Grandmaster level, so the Grandmaster doesn't have to participate.
After the court was dismissed, Emperor Daoyuan looked at Bei Lingyao and said regretfully, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have appointed you as the Imperial Preceptor so soon."
In his opinion, Bei Lingyao crushed the players from the seven countries and made them lose all their confidence with just one move.
"As long as I am willing, there will always be opportunities to perform."
Bei Lingyao was also looking forward to the arrival of the seven-nation delegation.
At this time, the people in the capital were also very curious about the arrival of the seven-nation delegation.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the city gate.
Twenty miles, ten miles, five miles, one mile...
The envoys from seven countries arrived in Beijing one after another.
In the east there are two countries, Shengyu and Xuanwei.
In the south there are two countries: Wuyang and Baoxiang.
To the west are the two countries of Qiluo and Shaluo.
To the north is the Cang Ao Kingdom.
These are all neighboring countries of Langya Kingdom, and Cang'ao Kingdom is the country that used a small spy to plot against Emperor Daoyuan.
In the imperial palace, Emperor Daoyuan held a banquet in the Taihe Hall Square to welcome guests from all countries.
The Grand Empress Dowager did not attend, and Emperor Daoyuan did not send anyone to invite her. She had no cultivation and did not want to come.
Emperor Daoyuan sat on the dragon throne, with the prime minister on his left and Bei Lingyao, the imperial preceptor, on his right.
She sat cross-legged on the armchair.
The civil and military officials sat on cushions one by one, each official sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed to rest.
"Qingfengguan has arrived!"
After hearing the announcements, Bei Lingyao saw a group of Taoist priests wearing dark robes and with an immortal look entering the hall.
"The disciples of Qingfeng Temple greet the emperor."
"Stand up"
Although Emperor Daoyuan did not see his master, Taoist Chunyang, he was even happy to see his fellow disciples and nephews and grandchildren.
"We've arrived at Mingyue Temple!"
At that moment, another group of nuns appeared. They were disciples of Master Jingci.
"The disciples of Mingyue Temple greet the emperor."
"Stand up"
"We're at Mian Temple!"
This is Master Yuanzhen’s disciple.
"Arrival at Bailu Academy"
"Arrival at Huxi Academy"
…
Although he was the Grandmaster of the Shenyue Sect, the Sect Leader did not send anyone over.
The Shenyue Sect and the Langya Kingdom court have always been hostile to each other. They didn't dare to come, and Emperor Daoyuan didn't invite them.
Emperor Daoyuan asked Bei Lingyao if he wanted to invite anyone, but Bei Lingyao shook his head.
After the G8 summit, she will return to the Shenyue Sect.
"The Holy Land delegation has arrived"
"The Xuanwei Kingdom's delegation has arrived"
…
Bei Lingyao felt like she was back in modern times watching a sports meet.
Everyone is well-dressed and elegant, some are serious, some are smiling, and some are confident, all of which reflect their quality.
Bei Lingyao was still expecting someone to act arrogantly and then get slapped in the face.
But no, everyone was in harmony, including the Cang Ao Kingdom.
However, Bei Lingyao felt countless gazes falling on her. Her mind moved, and the atmosphere around her seemed to solidify.
