Lan Sinian prepared tofu pudding and soup dumplings for him for breakfast. Qin Changqing had eaten the same meal with Luo Yuhuan yesterday morning. He hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and with all the exercise, he was already starving. However, he quickly stopped after two quick bites. Otherwise, he would definitely get burned by the soup in the dumplings, which would be too ungraceful. He didn't want Lan Sinian to see him make a fool of himself.
Lan Sinian also took one and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing it. "It's really delicious."
Qin Changqing glanced at him sideways and said, "If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself."
Lan Sinian blinked, "I just want to eat yours."
Qin Changqing: "..." He just couldn't understand. How could an emperor have such a flexible expression on his face?!
The two of them rushed to finish breakfast, and by the time Qin Changqing came out of the bedroom, it was almost noon.
He made an appointment with General Luo to meet in the afternoon, and after thinking about it, he decided to bring the super alloy with him.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the Emperor, having learned his lesson from the last time he was irritated by not accompanying him to the banquet, took the initiative to ask, "Shall I go with you?"
Qin Changqing thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
…
General Luo's original military district was stationed in the south, but he was transferred back because Qin Changqing, who was married to the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, was affiliated with his unit. Qin Changqing had few relatives now, but he had a life-or-death relationship with his comrades in the army. Furthermore, with Elder Shen's connections, the leadership had already made plans. At the time, everyone believed his trip was doomed, but there was always a chance of a disaster. What if he could gain a foothold in the Empire?
The old man of the Luo family is quite prestigious in the capital. However, unlike the old man's stubborn temper, although General Luo is a military general, he exudes the elegance and gentleness of a scholar. He is considered to be a person who is very good at dealing with people, and the leaders are still very confident in him.
Lan Sinian and his companions deliberately left out their guards and butler, bringing only Qin Xu with them. Lan Sinian personally piloted the aircraft to the Luo family's residential complex. Avoiding public scrutiny, they parked the aircraft directly on the rooftop. Even so, someone still took a photo and posted it online, where it was adored by many. This was a true UFO, incredibly cool.
Qin Xu's left hand was held by Qin Changqing, and his right hand subconsciously reached out to Lan Sinian. Halfway through, he remembered something and pulled it back embarrassedly. As a result, his whole body was lifted up by Lan Sinian.
"Little guy, take the gift, maybe you can get a red envelope." Lan Sinian smiled and stretched out his finger to poke Qin Xu's waist. The shy and introverted Qin Xu immediately burst into laughter. He twisted uncomfortably on his shoulder and protested, "Stop tickling me."
"If you want to protest, wait until you can beat me." Lan Sinian held his chin high. His Majesty the Emperor is the best in the universe.
"I will be able to beat you one day!" Qin Xu laughed so hard that he was out of breath. He was very ambitious and his small voice was particularly loud in the corridor.
"Good boy! You are worthy of being my son!" Lan Sinian couldn't help but feel proud. The little guy was really good and had the same style as him in his youth.
"If you two keep arguing, I'll throw you downstairs." Qin Changqing's ears hurt from the loud voices of the two people.
Lan Sinian put his empty arm on his shoulder and leaned over to express his feelings. "Marrying my dear is the greatest pride of my life. Don't be jealous of your son."
"Get lost." Qin Changqing glared at him, then felt his hands were not honest on him. Thinking of his hands full of gifts and this man being a hooligan with his bare hands, he was immediately furious. He elbowed him away and threw all the gifts in his hands into his arms, "Carry it yourself."
"Okay, I'll bring it up, dear. Don't be angry, dear." His Majesty the Emperor was very flexible, but he couldn't control his flirting at all. "If you're too lazy to walk, you can sit in my arms. Your husband can carry you."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Changqing felt something going straight to the hem of his clothes. He was stunned for a moment before realizing what it was. He kicked him angrily and said, "Get it away from me."
"don't want……"
Qin Xu's face turned a little red as he listened to the two fathers arguing back and forth. It was really good like this now.
The family of three took the elevator and arrived at the Luo family's door, arguing loudly.
The Luo family members were also busy with their own things. Luo Yuhuan had been actively collecting information since he talked with Qin Changqing yesterday. Mother Luo was busy in the kitchen, while General Luo was in the study, still thinking about what Qin Changqing said.
Bringing Earth's specialties to the empire is definitely a great thing for Earth's human beings, who have finally confirmed that there are more intelligent creatures than just Earth in the universe and are worried about how to develop into the interstellar space.
How could General Luo not want the Luo family to be ahead of everyone else because of this matter? But this matter was of great importance, not the trivial intrigues of small families. Even the head of the Luo family, Mr. Luo, did not ask him to seek any benefits for the family because of his relationship with Qin Changqing. This also showed his attitude towards him and asked him to put the overall situation first.
At the Luo family's door, Qin Changqing glared at Lan Sinian warning him not to make trouble before ringing the doorbell.
Luo Yuhuan rushed out of the house, opened the door, and shouted, "Hey, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you all afternoon. I thought you were still drunk from yesterday..."
Before he could finish his words, he discovered that it was Qin Changqing and his family of three standing outside the door. That...that person was also there, and he immediately swallowed back his words.
"Why don't you say anything?" Qin Changqing looked at him with amusement.
Luo Yuhuan pursed his lips. Behind him, Mother Luo asked with a smile, "Is Changqing here? Why doesn't he come in?"
Qin Changqing pushed the big, silly Luo Yuhuan away and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, long time no see."
"Hey, Changqing, you're finally here. It's been a long time since we last met." Mrs. Luo was a little excited when she saw him. She couldn't help but look him up and down, and sighed, "Why do you look younger than before?"
"You are younger than before." Qin Changqing smiled and hugged her.
Mrs. Luo's name is Shen Yushuang. She is the only daughter of Qin Changqing's master Shen Feng, and she has always had a good relationship with Qin Changqing.
Shen Yushuang hugged him, and then saw Qin Xu again.
"Master." Qin Xu suddenly threw himself into her arms and called out sweetly.
"Oh~ my little Xu, you have grown so tall~" Chen Yushuang was so fond of this little guy that she picked him up directly.
Qin Xu couldn't help laughing. When he was a child, Shen Yushuang took care of him for a long time and they had a very good relationship.
When General Luo heard the noisy noise and walked out of the study, he saw people gathered at the door. Instead, Lan Sinian was standing outside the door alone with a bunch of gifts in his hands. He didn't know what to say to these people, so he hurried over to invite Lan Sinian into the house.
"Hello, Your Majesty. Please come in." General Luo extended his hand to him enthusiastically.
"Hello, I often hear Changqing talk about you." Lan Sinian was very polite and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
After inviting the family of three into the house, Luo Si Nian ordered his son to serve tea and water. The eldest son Luo Yuhuan was not angry this time, but took the initiative to go to the kitchen, which he would never set foot in before.
Qin Xu followed along sensibly to help, directing from the side: "Dad likes to drink tea. He... well, we don't have the kind of drink he likes here, but we can prepare coffee for him."
After hearing what he said, the mother and son of the Luo family couldn't help but glance at him. Shen Yushuang squatted in front of him and asked softly, "Xiao Xu, is His Majesty good to you?"
"Yeah, very good." Qin Xu nodded vigorously. He especially liked his current home. With two fathers, he had a complete family like everyone else. This was what he had always wanted.
Chen Yushuang also thought of the days when the little guy and Qin Changqing were rarely together and apart, and rubbed his little head distressedly, and asked again: "Then how did you live over there?"
"My father has things to do over there and is quite busy. I go to school there. He has to go out for meetings during the day, but he will pick me up from school in the afternoon and train me in the morning and evening." Qin Xu blinked his eyes. His classmates were very envious of him.
"Are you used to the food there? Are there other family members at home?" Chen Yushuang is a woman by nature, and she considers much more things than Qin Changqing.
Qin Xu nodded. "As for the food I'm used to, there are Uncle Qifeng, Uncle Hanhai, and Uncle Shaoou in the palace. But apart from Uncle Qifeng who occasionally dine with me, everyone else eats separately."
Shen Yushuang naturally didn't know who the uncles he was talking about were. Luo Yuhuan explained patiently, "The Uncle Qi Feng he mentioned is the housekeeper, and the others are guards."
Chen Yushuang understood. She thought that Lan Sinian had no elders, or that the elders did not live with them. She felt a little relieved. She was afraid that Lan Sinian's family members were complicated, and someone bullied Xiao Xu in private, and the little guy didn't know to tell anyone.
Thinking of this, Chen Yushuang subconsciously wanted the little guy to call her more often in the future and tell her anything that was bothering him. She might be able to help solve it. But then she thought, the place was so far away, and he couldn't even tell which direction to look from the ground... He couldn't help but sigh again, feeling a little sad. If it weren't for that damn snake clan running to invade the earth, Changqing wouldn't have to leave his hometown and go so far away.
"Hey, why are you worrying so much? Isn't Changqing here? Can he let others bully Xiaoxu?" Luo Yuhuan felt that his mother was just worrying about nothing. Wouldn't he tell the little guy if he was wronged?
"What do you know, you little bastard." Shen Yushuang couldn't help but slapped her silly son and wanted to twist his ears.
Luo Yuhuan rolled his eyes. He wasn't a kid anymore, was he? He was already in his twenties! His mother was just taking it out on him.
Qin Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw him being beaten again. Brother Yuhuan was still being beaten at every turn like before.
In the living room, Lan Sinian, a psychic, could hear Chen Yushuang clearly even if she lowered her voice. He glanced at the little guy from a distance. He had never asked about him before. At first, he loved him because he loved everything about him. Later, the more he spent time with him, the more he liked him. It was a liking that seemed to come from the heart and was completely unexplained. Maybe it was because he looked a lot like Changqing, and he also looked a lot like him?
Elsewhere, General Luo couldn't help but start discussing trade with Qin Changqing. Qin Changqing repeated his words to Luo Yuhuan yesterday: only select goods that are unique and attractive to buyers, while not overdrawing on Earth's resources. General Luo had already hinted at Qin Changqing's plans to his superiors, who naturally expressed their support. They also told him to communicate with Qin Changqing and, once regulations were in place, the state would definitely open a green channel in this regard, ensuring they could help open this trade route as quickly as possible.
Lan Sinian listened intently for a moment before interjecting, "You must also be prepared. Once Earth's products are sold in the Empire, there will undoubtedly be people trying to smuggle resources out of Earth. I'll have people in the Empire keep an eye on this, but Earth will have to rely on its own strength."
General Luo nodded repeatedly, "I will report this to the higher-ups, and they will definitely enact relevant laws to control the illegal smuggling of resources as soon as possible."
Lan Sinian nodded. General Luo was about to continue when he heard Lan Sinian say, "I've applied for a communication base station on Earth to facilitate future communication between the two sides. However, to prevent anyone from colluding with criminals in the Empire through this base station, this should not be disclosed in advance. We must also take precautions."
General Luo: “…”
Qin Changqing: "..."
Even though General Luo was considered a gentle and refined scholar, he almost jumped up when he heard this. Communication, communication, with this information channel, it is not just for communication! It is also an important channel for quickly obtaining various interstellar related information resources!
"Hey, I wonder where Your Majesty plans to build this communication base station?" General Luo, who led the troops, had already begun to formulate a defense plan in his mind. Where should the base station be built? How can such a base station be kept secret so that no one can know about it...
Qin Changqing didn't know what to say. This guy was always so unexpected. And there were criminals...wasn't he the leader of the Imperial Gang?
"None of you understand base station matters. I need to go and see for myself first," Lan Sinian said seriously, thinking that once he returned to the Empire, he'd be able to connect to Earth's network and access certain resources... ahem, what a brilliant plan. The Empire wasn't exactly lacking in this area of development. After all, those who favored polygamy, polyandry, or multiple marriages naturally enjoyed some gimmicks. But then again, the beasts had their own methods of attack, certain gestures representing their power and status. Their mindsets were somewhat rigid, unlike Earthlings' many variations.
General Luo, of course, had no idea that he was starting to have a complicated plan. He was starting to get a little restless, suppressing his inner excitement as he thought quickly, "How about this? First, tell me the general requirements for building this base, and I'll quickly help you pick out some nearby locations. This way, you'll save a lot of trouble."
The Emperor, who had long been plagued by lengthy meetings, raised an eyebrow, particularly pleased with his willingness to help him out. He then gave him a few site selection requirements and asked, "How many days will it take you to choose a site?"
General Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Within two days at the latest, before the day after tomorrow, I will personally deliver the selected address to you for your review." What he was thinking in his heart was that this address must be set within the map of China!
His Majesty the Emperor was completely satisfied. "Then I'll wait for your good news the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll definitely get it done as soon as possible." General Luo said as he already had several address options in mind and was waiting to discuss them with his superiors.
Luo Yuhuan was also shocked when he heard this. He subconsciously glanced at Lan Sinian and thought that this man had spent a lot of money to marry a wife, but he did have the capital.
After resolving the topic that Lan Sinian interrupted, Qin Changqing continued to talk to General Luo about product selection. He finally decided to meet Tang Qian, who was recommended to him by General Luo.
Luo Yuhuan was about to explode when he heard this, "Didn't you agree to leave it to me? What does that Tang have to do with it?!"
General Luo glared at him and growled, "We certainly have our reasons."
These words, just like "You are a child and don't understand", disgusted Luo Yuhuan. His face suddenly turned a little ugly, but he held back and didn't say it out loud.
Qin Changqing was speechless at this guy's temper and said soothingly, "You can't do such a big thing alone. Not only will you have to carefully select the goods, but you will also have to follow the starship all the way back and forth. I just want to find a partner for you."
Luo Yuhuan's expression brightened slightly. Qin Changqing added, "Managing so much cargo isn't easy. Just go find Captain Zhao and the others. I trust them more." He wouldn't have the time to worry about it anymore after this matter was settled, so he had to find someone he could trust.
"I know. I've already contacted them. They should finish their current tasks and come to the capital soon." Upon hearing this, Luo Yuhuan's expression finally returned to normal.
"Yeah." Qin Changqing nodded. "Have you prepared the cinnabar I asked you to prepare?"
"I've prepared it. This thing is not rare. We have as many as you want." Luo Yuhuan didn't know what he wanted this for, but he specifically asked someone about the price and found that it was not expensive. He planned to buy more at a time as a gift for Qin Changqing.
As they were talking, Lan Sinian received a message from Shenhai on his communicator: Your Majesty, we still haven't found much from Baron Shaman. Should we increase the police force and continue the investigation?
Lan Sinian frowned and replied: Check his grandparents, his friends, his wife's family and mistresses, his colleagues and connections, all of them carefully and thoroughly.
Deep Sea: Okay. Also, the materials and personnel needed to build the base station are ready. Should we have them leave now?
Lan Sinian: Come on. Let them come over on my other starship. It's now under Xiaoxu's name. Please help me prepare the transfer materials. When we return, we can give it to him as a gift for his bloodline awakening.
Shen Hai paused and replied with a word "OK".
