He Boqi was speechless at his mother's unreliability.
But the doting look in my mother's eyes was undisguised.
In her own words, my son is the apple of my eye.
Then Dongfang Ruoyun took out a large stack of portraits and threw them in front of Yi Boqi.
“You are the Crown Prince of Daqi, and the He family is not large. The ministers have repeatedly submitted memorials requesting that you appoint a Crown Princess.”
As he spoke, he gestured with his chin towards the large stack of portraits.
"These are the most beautiful and well-born women selected from the Flowing Cloud Realm. My son, please make your choice."
These words left Yi Boqi speechless.
With so many things to deal with right now, Xiao Boqi has no time to talk about the Crown Princess.
But his mother's gaze left Xiao Boqi speechless, and he had no choice but to start flipping through the large stack of portraits.
And I must say, the women in the portraits are all incredibly beautiful and charming.
Come to think of it, how could a candidate for Crown Princess, chosen from a population of nearly 200 million, not be beautiful?
For some reason, when Ye Boqi looked at these portraits of beautiful women, he actually thought about turning thirty.
Damn it.
I'm afraid I might actually be... gay.
Then, one was symbolically chosen and placed in front of Dongfang Ruoyun.
"This one will do."
To be honest, Ye Boqi just picked her randomly, without even looking at what she looked like or what her name was.
It was just a random choice he made to appease his mother.
But Yi Boqi noticed that his mother's expression grew colder and colder after she received the portrait.
Just as he was about to ask a question, Dongfang Ruoyun slammed the portrait onto the table with a loud bang.
He then took out a long sword and held it in his hand.
"Good, my good Qi'er."
"You've completely forgotten your mother's earnest teachings. Have you grown up and become all independent?"
"He's clearly engaged in a marriage contract, yet he's acting so promiscuously; he deserves to be punished."
After saying that, he raised his sword and slashed straight at Yi Boqi.
"Mother, I did it according to your instructions... Besides, that's not how you use 'fickle flower'..."
But before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Ruoyun interrupted him with a sword.
"Oh, so you dare to talk back."
He dodged the longsword in his mother's hand in one step, and then shouted.
"Mother... what are you doing... I..."
But Dongfang Ruoyun ignored his explanation and slashed down with her long sword once more.
“I promised the son-in-law that I would keep you chaste until he married you, but you were tempted by a few portraits.”
“How could my daughter, Dongfang Ruoyun’s daughter, be associated with such a promiscuous woman as you?”
"Let me tell you, apart from marrying the son-in-law, even if you have such thoughts, the person you marry must be Qinghe or Xiaogu. Don't even think about marrying any other woman."
His mother's actions and words left Xiao Boqi feeling extremely helpless.
What is all this about? How did Qinghe and Xiaogu get involved again?
Just as he dodged the sword strike once again, Dongfang Ruoyun raised her sword and pointed it at him.
"You still dare to hide?"
Seeing his mother's angry face, Xiao Boqi stopped in his tracks, looking frustrated, and stopped dodging.
Then... a very heartwarming scene unfolded inside the palace.
A loving mother's sword cleaves her unfilial son...
After striking Ye Boqi's buttocks dozens of times with the back of the sword, the Empress's face revealed a satisfied smile.
"Alright, now that my son knows he was wrong, he can go and get back to work."
"I still need to go to the back garden to practice flower arranging, my son, you may leave now."
After Dongfang Ruoyun finished speaking, Ye Boqi bowed and turned away dejectedly.
The beating didn't hurt, but it was completely inexplicable.
As Dongfang Ruoyun watched Yi Boqi turn and leave, she smiled slightly.
“My silly Qi’er, he still doesn’t know that girl is a woman, and he can’t feel the girl’s feelings for him.”
"Oh, this is what your mother is telling you: don't fall in love too easily. If you have another woman by your side before you meet her, given that girl's methods and background, my son might really be unable to become a man."
After speaking, he looked at the vast and majestic palace.
"Even this Great Qi would probably be destroyed with a flick of the finger."
"Son, you'd better be more careful."
...
Three days later.
Crown Prince Daqi, Ye Boqi, personally visited Wulai City near the Chunyang Mountains.
Wulai City.
Because it is located next to the Chunyang Mountain Range, which produces many spiritual herbs.
Therefore, Wulai City started with the spiritual herbs from the Chunyang Mountains.
What makes it even more appealing to many is that several ancient battlefields have been discovered within the Chunyang Mountains.
Although these ancient battlefields have been discovered for hundreds of years, their treasures have long been looted.
However, a large number of people still ventured into the ancient battlefield in search of treasures that would allow them to defy fate.
Therefore, Wulai City has an extremely large population flow.
Every day, large numbers of treasure hunters enter the Chunyang Mountains.
The Chunyang Mountains cover an area of thousands of miles, with continuous mountain ranges that are majestic and steep.
But no one dared to enter the core area of the mountain range.
There was once a person who was confident in his strength and was at the peak of the Core Formation stage. When his lifespan was about to end, he entered the core area to search for treasures, hoping to find treasures that could extend his lifespan.
But it was gone and never returned.
This has further heightened the sense of danger in the core area of the Chunyang Mountains among treasure hunters.
However, as the power of the Great Qi Kingdom surged, the quantity of spiritual herbs and other items within the Chunyang Mountains also increased dramatically.
As a result, even more people came to search for the treasure.
But just half a month ago, a riot broke out in the Chunyang Mountains.
