In ancient times, those of high status were addressed as Your Highness.
Since Qin Ge is a man, it wouldn't be appropriate to address him as "Your Majesty," so Yue Tianxing calls him that.
Her Royal Highness the Queen.
Hearing this title, Qin Ge wasn't ashamed. After all, he had long been used to hearing the palace servants call him "Your Highness" when he dressed as a woman in the harem.
Jun Chenbi, on the other hand, found the title quite flattering and found Yue Tianxing much more agreeable.
Qin Ge: "No need for such formalities, Grand Preceptor. Besides, this title is a bit premature."
The arm that was held across his waist in a domineering manner suddenly tightened slightly.
Yue Tianxing glanced at the emperor and smiled, "It's not early. I think Your Majesty is already impatient."
Qin Ge: "..."
The title of Empress did not embarrass Qin Ge, but Yue Tianxing's teasing of the tyrant's behavior did make his ears feel a little hot.
His Majesty the Emperor can be quite... childish sometimes!
Jun Chenbi glanced at the Imperial Advisor and said without any shame, "Since you know, then quickly do as I say!"
Few can remain calm under the tyranny of a ruler, but the Yue State Preceptor is definitely one of them.
The young imperial advisor said with a smile, "No rush, no rush. Since we're already here, let's have a meal first."
The temple, mysterious and powerful in the eyes of the world, was nothing more than his backyard to the Grand Preceptor, a forbidden area that no believer dared to set foot in. Yet Yue Tianxing led Qin Ge and Jun Chenbi into it openly.
When Qin Ge visited the temple earlier, the believers warned him that the forbidden area of the temple was a place he absolutely could not enter.
Qin Ge asked doubtfully, "Isn't it said that only the Grand Preceptor of each generation can enter the forbidden area? It might not be appropriate for His Majesty and me to go in as well."
“There’s nothing wrong with it. Rules are made by people. I am the current Imperial Advisor. If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay. Please follow me, Your Majesty and Empress.” After saying this, Yue Tianxing took the lead and stepped into the forbidden area.
To be honest, Qin Ge hesitated. Yue Tianxing said he would treat them to delicacies that were unparalleled in the world. Could there be a dragon in this forbidden area? Was Yue Tianxing planning to capture a dragon and treat them to dragon meat?
However, if we're talking about dragon meat...
Qin Ge glanced at the tyrant. Ancient emperors were called true dragons. If one wanted to eat dragon meat, the one next to him was the real deal.
Of course, he wasn't very interested in eating dragon meat.
Whether in the literal sense or in another form... eating.
Because the latter is simply too much for them to handle.
Qin Ge's waist and legs seemed to go weak for a moment, but in the end, she followed Jun Chenbi inside.
Upon entering, it was as if the scenery had changed with every step. The most mysterious temple in the Dayong Dynasty, which had not been set foot in by outsiders for hundreds of years, was thus unfolded before Qin Ge and Jun Chenbi, the two most honorable people in Dayong.
It's like stepping into another fantasy world. In this forbidden area, waterfalls cascade down, silver fish swim to and fro in the pool, steam rises, and exotic flowers and plants are everywhere. The most magnificent and spectacular sight is a tree growing in the center of Sun Moon Lake.
The tree was entirely crystal-colored with a transparent luster, as if it were carved from a seven-colored glass gemstone. It stood upright in the center of the pool, and only the fruit hanging from the tree made the eyes of those who had just experienced a visual feast feel a touch of reality.
However, the fruit was quite peculiar; only seven or eight pairs of fruit grew on a single tree.
The fruits grow in pairs, one red and one blue.
The red and blue fruits resemble phoenixes, yet also vaguely resemble humans, surrounded by a faint, surging spiritual energy, as if the sounds of phoenixes and dragons could be heard. Looking at them from afar, one feels as if they have stepped into another dimension.
Qin Ge blinked hard. Was he sure he hadn't accidentally wandered into the magical forest of Alice in Wonderland?
But he was clearly reading an ancient political intrigue script, not a fantasy magic story!
As the only being in the ancient world of political intrigue who possessed the script for cultivating immortality, and also the host preparing a banquet, Yue Tianxing slapped a palm into the cold pool. Several lively little silver fish were swept up by his true energy and fell onto the grass full of exotic flowers and herbs. The young national advisor had no idol baggage at all. He rolled up his sleeves, killed the fish, scraped off the scales, removed the internal organs, and started grilling the fish over a campfire.
The small silver fish that grow in the Sun and Moon Cold Pool have delicious flesh with no fishy smell. You can simply pick a few lemongrass stalks, crush them, and sprinkle them on top to season and enhance the aroma.
The aroma wafted up, and Qin Ge was given a grilled fish.
He took a bite and heard the Imperial Advisor ask, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the taste of this peach blossom white mandarin fish?"
"Very good," Qin Ge commented.
Yue Tianxing laughed, "The Peach Blossom White Mandarin Fish was obtained by the late Grand Preceptor of the Divine Temple during his travels throughout the world and is kept here. Or rather, everything in the forbidden area is. Besides this Peach Blossom White Mandarin Fish, there are also exotic beasts and dragons at the bottom of the cold pool, and even the rare and precious Heavenly Snow Lotus can be found in the forbidden area of my Divine Temple... Did Your Majesty and the Empress see that sacred tree?"
"It's very beautiful." After praising it, Qin Ge added, "It looks extraordinary."
Jun Chenbi, on the other hand, has little desire for material possessions.
Even what others consider priceless treasures are nothing more than ordinary things in his eyes.
The young imperial advisor chuckled softly, "This tree is called 'False Phoenix and False Dragon,' and it was planted by an unknown imperial advisor from some previous generation. Well, the generation number isn't important..."
"According to the temple records, this was obtained during a trip to a place called Silver Sleeve Kingdom. That country is very peculiar, unlike any other country in our Great Yong, or even any country in our memory. The women there are tall and slender, naturally strong, while the men are weak and petite. Therefore, in Silver Sleeve Kingdom, women are in charge, and men are responsible for supporting their wives and raising their daughters..."
Qin Ge raised an eyebrow.
Isn't that a matriarchal society?
Before Yue Tianxing could finish speaking, he continued, "...not only that, but even the process of bearing offspring is done by men."
