Junyao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Excellent wine!"
Lu Qingyan proudly raised her chin and poured Junyao a small glass: "Of course! What wine is bad after it passes through my hands?"
"This tastes similar to the wine stored in the palace. Or perhaps, it's even better."
Jun Yao happily took away ten jars of fine wine, promising to send the plaque over after returning to the palace.
In the afternoon, the streets were bustling with activity. The signboard for Tian Family Restaurant was delivered with great fanfare, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers. Mr. and Mrs. Tian couldn't stop smiling.
The person who presented the plaque was Tian Dali, who walked ahead in high spirits, dressed in an official uniform.
Looking at Lu Qingyan, Tian's father sighed with emotion: "Our daughter is truly capable; she even managed to get a plaque with an inscription personally written by the Emperor."
Mother Tian added, "That's all thanks to our daughter's excellent wine, which won the Emperor's favor. If our daughter didn't know anything, would this plaque have flown over by itself?"
"No matter how capable a daughter is, it's all thanks to her father, mother, and brother for teaching her well. The most capable person in our family is definitely her father." Lu Qingyan changed into a scarlet dress and said coquettishly to her father.
Father Tian was also amused by Lu Qingyan and laughed heartily: "Our daughter is such a clever little devil, I wonder who will marry her in the future?"
Mother Tian rolled her eyes at Father Tian: "Our daughter is still young. Why don't you keep her a few more years? Why are you in such a hurry to marry her off? Our family isn't so poor that we can't even find two bowls of rice in the rice jar."
“That’s right, Father.” Tian Dali chimed in from the side, “My position in the court is not stable. If my sister marries into the court now, she might be bullied. I should wait until I have a firm foothold before marrying her off. Then I can support her in everything.”
Listening to her family discussing her marriage, Lu Qingyan blushed and stomped her foot, saying, "Father, Mother, Brother, if you keep talking, I won't talk to you anymore."
The three laughed and said, "Haha, our little sister is just shy."
They just didn't expect that before this discussion could even reach a conclusion, they would be hit with a pleasant surprise. Of course, the surprise outweighed the joy.
Junyao was no longer young; most members of the royal family his age were already fathers. Now that the realm was at peace, the court officials began urging Junyao to expand his harem and select concubines to establish an empress.
"It was I who married and took concubines, not you. Stop pointing fingers at me!"
"But Your Majesty! A country cannot be without an heir. Your Majesty should make some plans."
"Yes, yes, even if His Majesty doesn't marry an empress, he should take concubines. His Majesty is in his prime and handles state affairs very well, but he should also ensure the continuation of the royal family's lineage."
Junyao was annoyed by their comments. At that moment, Lu Qingyan's face flashed through his mind. She wasn't exactly a beauty that could topple kingdoms, nor was she exceptionally talented. But in his eyes, she was simply the best.
Now that he holds great power, Lu Qingyan is a suitable match for him in terms of status. Her brother is the Minister of Revenue, and she has saved Jun Han's life, so making her empress is not excessive at all.
And so, by the time the imperial edict reached Tian Family Restaurant, Lu Qingyan had already received the notification that the mission was complete.
"Congratulations, Master, the mission is complete. Mission completion rate: 85%."
Lu Qingyan was so shocked that she almost dropped the cup in her hand: "Only 85%? It's actually finished?"
The system meowed and replied, "That's right. The Emperor Conquest mission can be considered complete when it reaches 80% or higher. It is said that this is to make the emperor have the world in his heart."
Because he has the world in his heart, he can't even accommodate a woman? What kind of twisted logic is that?
