The next day, Shang Xi did not attend the morning court session.
Shang Xiche did something that shocked the entire capital: he made Di King Di Kanlong and the Director of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Zhao Dynasty compete in observing celestial phenomena in the main hall.
After Dikanlong spouted a bunch of nonsense, the original Director of the Imperial Observatory of Dazhao was dismissed on the spot, and Dikanlong was appointed as the Director of the Imperial Observatory!
Furthermore, Di Kanlong then presented Shang Xiche with a recipe for an "elixir of immortality" to curry favor, and was subsequently granted the title of Prince Zhong'an!
The title "Loyal and Peaceful" was bestowed upon the king of an enemy state who had just surrendered.
Upon hearing this title, the faces of all the civil and military officials turned sour!
Offering a prescription makes them "loyal and secure"? What are these old ministers who have devoted their lives to the Great Zhao Dynasty?
Even more baffling and outrageous actions were yet to come:
After presenting the elixir formula, the freshly made Prince Zhong'an, Di Kanlong, mysteriously performed a feat of holding a fireball with his bare hands in front of the entire court. The face that appeared in the fireball, which was emitting black flames, was none other than Ji Fengyao's.
Then Di Kanlong said something that no one in the entire court, even if they were to chop off their heads, would have expected: "This woman is extraordinary. If extraordinary phenomena occur within three days, she will surely be the reincarnation of a true phoenix and shall be the mother of the world."
This isn't just nonsense, is it?
Most of the civil and military officials came from aristocratic families in the capital. They had seen all sorts of strange and wonderful magic tricks. If you could win the favor of the Empress by performing a magic trick in the palace, then all the opera troupes would be better off coming to the Imperial Observatory to play the role of gods and ghosts!
As soon as the court session ended, these absurd events in the court spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
At this moment, Ji Fengyao was basking in the bright autumn sun in the courtyard, performing the final detoxification procedure on Shang Xiye.
The golden, warm sunlight shone on the young bandit's smooth, satin-like long hair and her fair, delicate skin, giving it a soft, luminous glow. She looked like a little fairy who had fallen to earth, dazzlingly beautiful, almost unreal.
Having surrendered the military tally, Shang Xiye felt as if he had been freed from heavy shackles.
Watching the beautiful young wife basking in the sun;
Admiring the early chrysanthemums blooming in the courtyard in vibrant colors.
Shang Xiye suddenly thought of the phrase "peaceful and quiet life". He sat up from the soft chair, gently cupped the little bandit's chubby chin with his large hand, lifted her pink and tender little face, and leaned down to give her a gentle kiss.
"Your Highness, stop fooling around, there are still a few more needles to go before it's all over." Ji Fengyao's bright phoenix eyes met Shang Xiye's beautiful eyes, which seemed to contain a galaxy, and she was overjoyed.
Her master is so handsome!
Moreover, that sudden chin-pinching kiss was absolutely sweet!
Even though we've been having more intimate contact lately, she's still being flirted with like crazy!
"My little wife, if I can spend the rest of my life with you in this quiet way, my life will be worthwhile. Even if I am never human again and cannot be reincarnated, I will have no regrets in this life alone." Shang Xiye gently stroked the little bandit's delicate face with his fingers, his eyes gentle and focused, as if he wanted to imprint the little bandit into his soul.
Ji Fengyao, not having washed her hands, quickly pressed herself against him and gently sealed his lips with hers, silencing his ominous words.
Once she was sure he had shut up, she stepped back and said seriously, "Your Highness, a cultivator's first duty is to never speak recklessly! Some things, once said, will be taken seriously by Heaven! After your memories return, if you can still accept me, let's work hard together to cultivate and become powerful cultivators who can live for thousands of years, and be together forever!"
