continuing 'The Hulijing Emperor' this is season 2. Jin guangyao is the emperor of Hulijings. he lives in Jingjing with his son, Rusong, and his (A-Yao's) chaotic team dimple (mxy, sms and xy) while he has a harem of powerful sect leaders. in addition, he's very close to his brother, Jin Zixuan, who's the emperor of peacock spirits.
A few months later, the moon rage pandemic has gone away, thanks to Huangdi, Jiaoqiu and his medical team. Everything was back to normal for the fox spirit realms and the Jianghu.
So now, the planning of Rusong and Aqing's wedding is back in focus- and the Moling Su clan is celebrating their heritage and history! It has been about 30 years since Moling was refurbished by Su Minshan and Yao Huangdi.
Their ancestral hall however had chests of documents and other records, untouched till this day, as they feared that it would've been destroyed by the Wens.
Su she and his sect members: *showed their gratitude towards Huangdi by kowtowing*
Yao: thank you so much for inviting me to your event, Su Minshan.
Su she: I must, Huangdi. You're the reason why my clan is flourishing. I've told you that I wanted to reform my own sect, many years ago, and you made my dream come true when it all looked impossible.
Leaving that cruel sect was the best idea of my life.
Yao: it's good that you don't have to
depend on anyone again. And luckily you had your own sect to fall back on.
Su she: felt like I built it from dust.
Yao: you weren't alone. Many other clans had to rebuild their homes.
And look, you're my chief cultivator.
Su she: all because of you. I'm delighted to get such an honour, to be your Xiandu.
I love you, Huangdi.
Yao: I love you too, Minshan. And I appreciate you.
Su she: I'm proud to say that I submit to you and you alone.
Mo xuanyu: awww so sweet! Shanshan!
Xue yang: sounds like wedding vows.
Su she: xue yang. This isn't the time to tease me.
Xue yang: every time is a good time to tease you.
Suyin: though growing up away from the sect, I'm still a Su. And I thank you a million times for your contribution, Huangdi.
Yao: no problem. I was just helping out someone who's dear to me.
Su she: *kisses his hand* shall we head to the ancestral hall.
Yao: certainly, Su Zongzhu.
You have your ritual to perform.
Su she: and you shall be a part of it. *escorts him in*
Suyin: oh A-Shan. Treating Huangdi like a bride.
Su she: Suyin. You won't understand how special he is to me.
Huangdi is my heart and self esteem.
Moling Su's Ancestral Hall 📍
Su Minshan, his clan members, his beloved Yao Huangdi and Suyin entered the ancestral hall with incense. Before giving their offerings, they performed three bows to honour their elders.
Su she: this is Su Laozu's plaque.
Him and Lan An were sworn brothers you know.
The Sus and Lans vowed to always protect each other. But apparently that was forgotten.
Yao: how tragic hearing about good friends becoming enemies over tine. I hope history doesn't repeat.
Su she: same. It's best for my sect to be independent, and keep their distance away from them.
Su Fengge: *kowtowing* Su Laozu, forgive me for dating Jingyi er Dianxia. I know he's a Lan, but I kinda love him.
Anyways, please please please help me pass the imperial exams! As you know that exam is compulsory for our sect.
I want to be as successful as Su shushu.
After the ancestral hall, they all settled in the conference hall, where Su she would share info on the founding of the sect.
Su she: My yeye, Su Bohai, had enforced his own family techniques into his sect. Like teleportation and the art of Bian Lian (mask changing dance)
Thanks to my ancestors, I had the ability to invent the teleportation talismans.
Before that, one depended on their swords and other items to teleport. Now it's pocket sized.
During the Formation era, where the 5 great clans came to be, Su Laozu and Lan An were inseparable. They vowed to protect each other.
However, that was the past. We shouldn't be bitter. We must raise our heads high, and make progress.
We have been progressing more than them, am I right? Moling Su is the city of democracy. Where all clans meet. There's no honour greater than that.
Su Laozu, Adie and yeye Su Bohai, had always taught me to always be loyal to those you show you respect. Because someone will be loyal to you in return.
Su she: Suyin, can you share the symbolism of our clan flower.
Suyin: sure, Zongzhu.
The Lilac flower symbolizes modesty and good luck. When Su yeye was going through his hardships, he saw a couple of then near a path, and got inspired to invent a new Moling Su technique.
Su Fengge: waawww!! Zongzhu, I became an apprentice of one of the clan elders, to help me study. And that day, they were collecting old files that was hidden away for ages. We came across Su Bohai's diary and accounts, and a couple other things from our family.
Su she: that's excellent! We'll all examine them together.
Su Fengge: it's written that Lao Su gad performed for an emperor.
When I thought emperor, I thought of Meng Huangdi, and was meaning to ask him.
Then I dropped it! It could be any emperor.
Su she: wait. Let me see.
Yao: there aren't any records on any of my ancestors meeting Su Bohai.
Only one account I remember, that says something about the Bian Lian performance.
"A talented man who can change many faces in a second"
But half the script is missing.
Su she: huh.
Then cultivators and fox spirits never mixed.
Suyin: *reads* "I've performed for the emperor of fox spirits, for only 4 minutes. As there were many other performances. I hope I've pleased him."" - Su Bo Hai.
Yao: oh waw!! So interesting. Yes, that's my grandfather, Meng Zhiyue. He had an extravagant 40th birthday party.
Its recorded, but Su Bohai didn't get much of a mention, unfortunately.
Forgive me.
Su she: Huangdi, it's alright. There were maybe hundreds of performers.
Suyin: there are other records in his diary, about Meng Huangdi.
Xue yang: so Minshan's grandfather was down bad for the emperor?? Is this in his DNA.
Su she: I'm so happy to hear this. That my yeye met Meng Huangdi!!
Mo xuanyu: and he must be jealous too.
Heehee.
Su she: more like honoured.
*reads*
"" Autumn. Enlightment era.
Saw the emperor Zhiyue for the first time, during my performance. And he's absolutely beautiful. Clear complexion, deep dimples and golden eyes. He sat upright, while draped in fine Brocade.
I know, it's improper to admire the emperor. But how could i not, when he looks otherworldly.
I'm a mere cultivator and he is an emperor. And an emperor of the most misunderstood beings in the Jianghu. """
Yao: Su Minshan is a lot like his grandfather.
Su she: *blush* Mengs are captivating.
Yao: so wonderful that we're connected like this. You're close to my heart.
Su she: m...me? *shy*
Yao: mhm.
Your yeye is very proud of you, for accomplishing things he haven't.
Su she: I strongly believe so.
*reads*
"" Summer Enlightment era.
I don't think fox spirits are evil. Just misunderstood. """"
""" Winter
Enlightment era.
Arbiter General Huaiyan thinks I'm some sort of spy or something, when I decide to write the emperor on his jubilee. He told me to stop sending things to Huangdi. Guess I made an enemy.
Cultivators and fox spirits coexist but they're from different worlds entirely """
Su Fengge: according to our clan historian, he sent incense burners, letters and pendants. But they were destroyed by hulijing guards.
Yao: tragic. I wished that he met him.
Su Fengge: they did meet briefly, when Su Bohai protected hulijings from some cultivators.
But that was just it.
I don't think Meng Huangdi would go into town or visit a cultivation sect.
Yao: not at all. Yeye wasn't that down to earth like me.
He didn't like market spaces and towns, but rather stay in the comfort of his palaces.
Xue yang: what a diva.
Yao: us emperors meet people who contribute to our empire. And I'm sure Yeye was happy to meet him
(I just love how he calls him Yeye. As if he's just an ordinary grandpa, and not a literal emperor 🤭. Like Rusong with his Nainai)
Mo xuanyu: but did the Su clan hate the Lans before they treated you unfairly, Shanshan?
Su she: yep.
The Lans became really controlling. They believed that their subsidiary sect should abide by their rules and ask them permission before doing anything.
They even hated the fact that Su Bohai yeye had a fondness for the emperor.
My Diedie, Su Ming had some debts to pay off, so he went to Lan Qiren for help. But Lan Qiren refused. Time and time again, Su Clan members were used as bait during night hunts. The Sus would sacrifice their life on the hunting grounds, and GusuLan would take credit.
The Lans so believe that our lives are theirs.
That is their dark truth! Lan Xichen says he never knew, but it's only because he never read his own history.
But knowing and experiencing are two different things.
Yao: poor Minshan.
Su she: Moling had about 20 members now, and less money. My Diedie, Su Ming was sick, Suyin and his parents were an Annan, serving emperor Zongzheng.
And my aunt left before I was born.
However my shushu, Su Zhu sent 12year old me off to my GusuLan (sworn) cousins. It was Diedies dying wish. He thought this would patch up the relationship between the Sus and Lans.
But that never happened. They treated me like shit. And it's true. You should never meet your heroes.
Yao: Su Minshan. I'm sorry to hear about your clan's tragic history. No one should use people like that.
Su she: yes. I tried! I tried to forget everything and become the best I could be. Better than the Twin Jades of Gusu! Everyone could idolize Hanguang Jun but I can't??
I only got genuine respect from you, and that's why I became so drawn towards you. Also you're so so beautiful, regal, soft, fierce, sometimes demanding to others, ruthless towards enemies, powerful, magnificent, complex. I love all sides of you, Huangdi.
I look up to you, from the time you remembered my name.
To hell with those Lans. I have my Yao Huangdi, and that's all what matters.
I'm not afraid to let the Jianghu burn for him.
Suyin: the Moling Su sect will forever stand strong. Zongzhu.
Thereafter, they examined some other boxes with letters, jewelry, paintings, money and other trinkets. Then Suyin came across a certain painting.
Yao: why do you have a picture of Binghe?
Su she: no Huangdi. I think this is my aunt who left the sect.
Yao: oh. She's lovely then.
Mo xuanyu: but she's the spitting image of Luo Binghe.
Su she: yea, I see it now. Anyways I haven't met her.
Yao: we can perform empathy if you like.
You can know about your aunt that way.
Su she: good idea.
I can brush over lost history, right.
But would we need her corpse?
Yao: no, it's a different type of empathy. Where we use her belonging.
Su she: ah, thank you Huangdi! You have helped me again.
A few days later, Jiaoqiu and Shen Yuan met with Yao Huangdi, to tell him about a dilemma plaguing thr fox spirit empire.
Jiaoqiu: Huangdi, there's an outbreak of the moon rage pandemic. And this version is highly contagious.
Yao: oh my goodness!
Jiaoqiu: as you know, the moon rage would make fox spirits lose their mind and go out of control until they eventually die on the spot. If an affected person, looked into someone's eyes or even touch them, they would get it too.
Yao: I believe they should distance themselves, Jiaoqiu. Are there any institutions for a sort of quarantine?
Jiaoqiu: they would most likely stay in their homes. We're afraid that they would infect others.
Shen Yuan: is there a cure? I'll inform the public on Huangdi's behalf.
Jiaoqiu: five herb soup, which contains Dahlia, Chrysanthemum, Fox spirit peach, ginger and Yu leaves.
Or if serious, they would have an induced coma.
Shen Yuan: I see.
Yao: I advise them to go under lockdown, until this moon rage illness goes away.
Shen Yuan: I thought that was their nature?
Yao: yes it's their nature to be affected by the moon rage. But sometimes illnesses would arise because of it.
Jiaoqiu: correct Huangdi.
My team and I are doing our best in curing people and putting the pandemic under control.
Yao: that's very good to hear. In the future, I'll reward you for your heroism.
Jiaoqiu: it's my duty.
Fortunately for you, the Mengs and the cultivators won't be affected. The Mengs are powerful and immune, and the cultivators are not fox spirits. But you should put Jing Manor under restrictions, just as a precautionary measure.
Yao: I definitely will. No fox spirits would be able to go out ot come in.
Su she: Huangdi. But what will happen to the economy?
I know some other non fox spirit figures live across the empire. Without them, businesses may shut down.
Yao: Minshan. That's why we have the Jianghu. They'll fill in for the fox spirits, while they quarantine.
Su she: ah perfect!
Your Jianghu is up for the task!
Yao: good. Please call them here later.
For now, Jiaoqiu should inform the rest of my family.
Su she: will do.
~~~~~
Later in the evening, the Jianghu's key clan leaders all gathered in Jing Manor once again. But before all that, Huangdi had already assigned jobs to the smaller clans.
Yao: you all are no longer cultivators during the pandemic. As you will replace the fox spirit workforce.
Mingjue: replace how?
Mo xuanyu: um can you shut up and listen?!
Shen Jiu: the guy has too much muscles. He can't think straight.
Zixuan: ugh. I know right. Go ahead, Huangdi. What were you saying?
Yao: the workforce must be maintained, while it's at its lowest. And that decline in economy wouldn't only impact the hulijings. Unfortunately I have to put my son's wedding on pause.
Now I've assigned jobs for everyone.
Sect leader Yao: *grunts*
Yao: you have 5 minutes. Speak.
Sect leader Yao: Huangdi you've made the right decision, but what are you and Zixuan Huangdi going to do. Not that I'm calling you out.
Xue yang: they're going to chop you up and barbecue you. Now stfu!
Sect Leader Yao: hey, Huangdi gave me 5 minutes to speak! That never happened before!
(He gets 3minutes, and 2 if Zixuan is present)
Su she: and it's running out.
Yao: excellent question, Sect leader. Zixuan and I will deal with Healthcare, alongside Jiaoqiu.
We'll make sure that everyone is getting proper treatment.
Medicine, toiletries, food. Zixuan is donating money and clothes to those in need.
Zixuan: Sect leader Yao, who are you to ask Huangdi such a question.
All you have done for the Jianghu is spread scandal and promote corruption.
Sect leader Yao: Xuan Huangdi, when have I~~
Zixuan: *glares*
Sect leader Yao: *terrified*
Ehem Yao Huangdi. What if we get that disease too?
Yao: no. Cultivators are all immune to the disease.
Sect leader Yao: why should we keep it alive if no one is going to use those facilities?
Yao: there are non fox spirits living across the empire.
And they're employed already.
You cultivators are entirely immune and your clans have thousands of members.
That's why I came up with the idea.
Sect leader Yao: are we getting paid?
Yao: times up. Put your finger on your lip.
Sect leader Yao: *obeys*
Yao: and yes. You will get paid.
Economically, I will pay the clan leaders, your profit will be divided into funds you keep, funds you give back to the empire and finds to buy your supplies.
Zixuan will provide funds for Healthcare.
The Xianzhou Native Bureau will deal with cultivation control.
Got it?
Clan leaders: yes Huangdi.
Jiang cheng and his clan are assigned to do Handicraft.
Jiang cheng: Handicraft? I'm not good at that.
Shen Jiu: it's not that hard, dude. You know what beads are, correct?
Jiang cheng: why don't you do it then!
Shen Jiu: um cuz it's your task, Jiang guifei.
Yao: that's why your Jie is there.
She'll help you out.
Jiang cheng: you're right. Huangdi.
Qin Su: and i will help you and Yanli Huanghou.
Yao: Lans will do agriculture.
Hanguang Jun can be a vendor. And Zewu can get some farming done.
Xichen: you got it, Huangdi.
Yao: summer is approaching. So I guess all those flowy robes won't be necessary.
I don't want anyone to catch a heat stroke.
Xue yang: Jiggy, just tell him that you want to him shirtless.
No need to make excuses.
Yao: Xue Chengmei.
Xue yang: mn?
Yao: not now.
Xichen: *grinning*
Yao: The Nies will be butchers.
Mingjue: yea I can do that. Our ancestors were butchers.
Huaisang: They were????
No no no. I can't be next to blood! You know this dage!! Ewwwww.
Mingjue: you better help me in this mess!
I was a literal concubine and now I'm putting my hands in meat.
Huaisang: *crying* dageeeeeee.
Yao: dear, you're still a concubine.
But a butcher.
Zixuan: and butchers can still be sexy.
Mingjue: want to help, Xuan Huangdi?
Zixuan: um, no. *opens fan*
Yao: Huaisang, do you want to do something else?
Huaisang: yes San ge. But I think I'll try to help dage in the mean time.
I'll get back to you though.
Yao: sure.
Mingjue: stop spoiling him, Huangdi.
Yao: I'm the emperor. I can spoil whoever I want to spoil.
Yao: Shen Jiu. You'll supervise the Educational department. And make sure that exam papers are printed, delivered and stored properly.
Shen Jiu: as you wish.
Huaisang: why does he get the easier job?!!
Zixuan: maybe because he's Shen Jiu?
Have you considered that?
Yao: he's into education, hence it will be easy for him.
It will be a pleasure if the Qing Jing peak helps out.
Shen Jiu: they will, Huangdi. Mingfan and Ning Yingying would love to help as well.
Yao: thank you.
Now for team d.
Moling Su will manufacture ink, paper, brushes and other things for daily use.
Su she: certainly.
Yao: yuyu, Xue yang and Binghe will do theater and the performing arts.
Mo xuanyu: yayyy! I love the theater!
Xue yang: sexy. Thanks Jiggy.
Yao: the Qins and Jins will deal with bank management
Wens will take care of apothecary. And the Baling Ouyang sect will manage silk and tea manufacturing.
Rusong and Jinling: will do.
A-qing and Luo Yuan: we'll help the Dianxias
Ning Yingying: I wish I could too, but I'm going to help Shizun. Sorry Dianxia.
Rusong: aw, it's fine dear.
Yao: are you all pleased with your tasks?
Clan leaders: yes Huangdi.
~
Their hectic week begins! Well. For some.
Team dimple and Binghe were in Yuhue city's Yaohuang Opera house, planning on what to do for the opening night.
Xue yang: you can revive fierce corpses right?
They will be our entertainment.
Binghe: of course I could. But I don't think your fierce corpses have talent. They got to audition.
Su she: audition?! For the undead?
Binghe: Yup. They may be undead, but they can't suck.
Mo xuanyu: *sigh* the amount of makeup I have to use for these corpses to look beautiful.
But what show are we gonna put on?
Su she: I'm thinking of individual performances.
Opera, musicians, dancers, songers, actors.
Xue yang: setting things on fire for funzies!
Binghe: YEAAA!!!!!
Also I'm good with Hua cheng now, so I can ask him to send over some sexy ghosts.
It was an average day at the harem Palace. A-Su and sisters were reading and having snacks with Shi Qingxuan, Huaisang was quietly painting a fan, while trying not to make eye contact with Qin Su or team dimple.
Shen Jiu was "meditating", Xichen was playing his Liebing, team d were doing "work" drawing NSFW Yao Huangdi art. Su Minshan also took some time to do his Sect work as well. Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue also engrossed themselves in their own sect work.
Mo xuanyu: I want to sleep with Yao gege tonight. Makeup or no makeup?
Xue yang: Makeup please.
Mo xuanyu: rude.
Xue yang: you'll look hot.
Su she: Yao Huangdi loves inner beauty.
Mo xuanyu: that's right.
Jiang cheng: I think I agree with xue yang. The Makeup covers up those eyebags.
Xue yang: how dare you say that about Yuyu!
Mo xuanyu: you're just jealous that Yao gege doesn't want you!
Su she: this is a team dimple matter, thank you.
Mo xuanyu: he always want to sabotage team dimple.
Jiang cheng: how the hell am I sabotaging team dimple?!
Su she: you're clearly bullying yuyu.
Jiang cheng: I literally agreed with xue yang.
Mo xuanyu: um. Yangyang is my bestie. We often tease each other.
Right, Lan lips?
Xichen: *stops playing his flute* yea bro.
Jiang cheng: whats going on here......
Huaisang: er ge is good with everyone. Even team d.
Su she: *glares at Huaisang* why are you talking?
Xue yang: can we talk about why Lan lips is playing his flute all of a sudden.
Nie Mingjue: um is that a crime, your majesty?
Huaisang: aww dage! I didn't know you can be sarcastic!
Su jiejie must have told him to play music.
Qin Su: no I haven't. He's doing his own thing.
Xue yang: are you practicing to blow something else, Lan lips?
Su she: the prestigious Zewu Jun being all not safe for work in public.
And in front of the empress too?
Mo xuanyu: Lan lips, listen to me. I'm gonna sleep with Yao gege! Not you!
Xichen: guys, I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm just playing music to relax.
Xue yang: is that a code for anything?!
Su she: then why don't you do meditation like Shen Qingqiu over there.
Xichen: Su she. I don't think Shen Jiu is meditating.
He's listening to all our drama.
Shen jiu: Lan lips. Shhhhhh.
Huaisang: that's a good idea.
Where are your minions?
Shen Jiu: I only have one minion and thats Shen Yuan. *opens eyes* He's studying History.
Mingfan and Yingying are my dear students. And you know who is My favorite.
They're the one who got the Prince.
Jiang cheng: savage.
Huaisang: yea, poor Mingfan.
Wanyue: So you're the one who linked A-Song up with Yingying.
Shen jiu: before that, I had always dreamt of my students being successful and marrying prominent and respectable people. And when I saw that Ning Yingying going crazy over how hot the crown prince is, I sealed the deal.
I made her dreams happen.
Wanrong: awwwwww.
And A-Song really loves her.
Qin Su: she's an ideal concubine. And you've taught her well.
She's good at swordfighting, art, calligraphy, emboidery, music and reciting poems.
Very pleasant to be around.
Shen Jiu: as she should be.
Qin Su: Found anyone for Mingfan?
Shen Jiu: not yet.
But very soon.
Qin Su: Huangdi and I will try to help out.
Shen Jiu: thank you, Huanghou. You're quite generous and beautiful.
I'm so proud that you, Dianxia and the emperor had accepted my Yingying.
Makes me feel so, you know, exalted.
*looks at team d*
Xue yang: little blind will be at a higher rank. So team dimple will still be very popular. And earn Jiggy's favor.
Shen Jiu: oh really. A competition for the emperor's favor?
And you dare use Dianxia's concubines for it.
Who is Aqing to you?
Xue yang: a gremlin. Pet?
Shen Jiu: um what?
Qin Su: Xue yang. Don't call her a Pet.
Xue yang: she's....*cough* like my little sis.
But to tease Xiao xingchen, I would tell him that I gave birth to her and he's the dad.
Shen Jiu: oh how scandalous! Huanghou, are you hearing this!
Qin Su: I know this already, Lord Shen.
It's nothing new.
Shen Jiu: why don't we sell hom to Xiao xingchen.
They clearly wanted to do the same with me and Binghe.
And yes, Harem. I was listening to your drama.
*opens fan*
Su she: we knew it!
Shen Jiu: Jiang gui fei.
Jiang cheng: don't call me that.
Shen Jiu: Jiang gui fei, you shouldn't get into team d stuff.
Team dimple are insane and confusing.
And us mere mortals won't understand.
Xue yang: *rolls eyes*
Mo xuanyu: b*tch.
Shen Jiu: Yuyu, look hot for the emperor.
But just know you'll end up hugging your pillow.
Mo xuanyu: why?
Shen Jiu: because I want to sleep with the emperor.
Team dimple: *gasps*
Xichen: well you have the right.
You're a concubine.
Huaisang: oh the drama!
Shi Qingxuan: go for it!
Mingjue: I don't really care.
Binghe: *enters* I heard my nameeeee 3.5 minutes and 51 seconds ago. Hey harem.
Huanghou.
Qin Su: pleasure to see you, Meng Gongye.
Shen Jiu: why do you keep coming when I mention your name.
Binghe: baby, I was planning to hang with Huangdi's harem and gossip a little.
So I was right around the corner.
You never know when I'm stalking you, Shizun. It's impossible.
Shen Jiu: I really don't know how to comment.
Binghe: what were you saying about me, Shizun? *smile*
Shen Jiu: about team dimple offering me to you like some type of Peace Treaty.
Binghe: I think you should listen to team dimple more often.
Shen Jiu: and I don't see the other Shizun.
Zhonglu: ding dong.
*opens fan* greetings Huanghou. *winks*
Qin Su: *winks*
(Yea, A-Su knows about A-yao's illusions)
Zhonglu: aren't you the prettiest.
Qin Su: I'm flattered.
Shen Jiu: Huanghou, please don't fall for that fraud.
Zhonglu: you're just mad that I'm doing a good job at being you.
Shen Jiu: you make my stomach churn, but I'll give you that.
I just hope you don't suffocate me with a pillow in the middle of the night.
Zhonglu: I promise I won't.
Binghe: oh god!
Shi Qingxuan: yea?
Binghe: not you.
I mean they're so sexy when they quarrel.
Xue yang: he'll explode if he sees Shen Yuan for sure.
Shen Jiu: ew. Shen Yuan DOES NOT look like me!
And he's not as graceful.
Mo xuanyu: he kinda does.
Huaisang: I agree.
Binghe: *sits.* Ayo, maids. The wine won't serve itself.
Maids: *immediately serving him wine*
Mingjue: wine? At 9 am?
Binghe: and your point?
So you're the one who gets manhandled by the emperor. May I manhandle you too?
Mingjue: hell no! Get away from me.
Binghe: you can refuse the emperor's brother! How dare you! Mobei Jun!!
Mobei Jun: *rushes in and slams Nie Mingjue on the floor*
Mingjue: agh! My back!
Get off!
Binghe: he only listens to me!
Qin Su: *impressed*
Mingjue: well tell your minion to get the fck off my back!!
Binghe: confess your love and devotion to the emperor Meng!
Mingjue: what?!!
Huaisang: Binghe, can you please please please spare dage?! He doesn't know how to express his feelings. Sometimes er ge and I would try to help him, but he doesn't listen to us.
I promise he'll do better!
Binghe: do you know my authority?
Huaisang: of course! You're the emperor's brother.
Please don't hire me as a maid. I think that's the trend for his brothers.
Binghe: you as a maid? I love that.
I'll talk to Xuan ge and get back to you.
Mingjue: very smart, Huaisang.
Huaisang: dage! I didn't know!
Mingjue: Luo Binghe, Meng Gongye.
I really want to sleep with the emperor!
Jiang cheng: bro, you sound like Wei wuxian.
Binghe: Go on! Or Mobei Jun will crush you.
Mingjue: I'm mad for Yao Huangdi.
He's so manipulative and cunning all the time. And I find that's sort of attractive!
Plus....he's really hot!
Is that what you wanted to hear?!!
Binghe: and?
Mingjue: he's super sexy. I love him so much!
Binghe: manipulative in what way?
Mingjue: plays with everyone's emotions. Acting all cute and hot. Then when you give into it, you're tied up and offered as a sacrifice to Wen Ruohan.
Binghe: wow.
I don't give him wrong tho.
You'll look good tied up.
Mingjue: you're just like Meng Yao!
Binghe: Huangdi!
And duh! He's my Yao ge.
He deserves all your respect!
Mobei Jun.
Mobei Jun: *gets off*
Mingjue: I can't walk *holding his back*
Shen Jiu: those Meng Bros sure know how to make people unable to walk.
Dage, do you want any tea?
Mingjue: no. Plus you'll drug me.
Shen Jiu: suit yourself.
Binghe: Jiang gui fei. Your thoughts on The emperor. I won't tell him anything, promise.
Jiang cheng: we have a healthy relationship.
And he is actually a great emperor.
It's just that I don't know how to express my feelings like Chifeng Zun.
Binghe: lame excuse.
But I heard that you're an amazing belly dancer. *wink*
Jiang cheng: shut up.
Binghe: so cranky. I'll complain to my brother, who's the emperor. If you've forgotten.
Shen Jiu: Do you people here know what affection is?
You're concubines, not a pile of pebbles.
Binghe: no wonder the emperor doesn't want to sleep with you guys.
Shen Jiu: ahahaha!
Binghe: heehee.
Shizun, I'm always here to make you laugh.
Shen Jiu: oh dear.
Binghe: Zewu Jun.
Zewu Jun you're cool, but I hate your sect.
Xichen: I'm curious to know why.
Binghe: too prissy and bland. Then still you guys think you're better than everyone.
Su she: exactly my point.
Xichen: we aren't allowed to flaunt our prestige. Probably you got something wrong.
Binghe: not at all.
Try being like the Qing Jing Peak, ok?
So you are horny for Yao ge?
Xichen: yes! I'm madly in love with him! And I'll fight team dimple and dage to get him!
Sometimes I want to lock him up in the Cloud recesses and keep him safe. But kidnapping the emperor is illegal right.
Mingjue: Hanguang Jun?
Xichen: yea we're the same thing. Wangji is just more subtle
Shen Jiu: crazy. But I can relate.
Binghe: *confronts team dimple*
Team d. Pleasure to meet you again.
Su she: Luo Binghe.
Mo xuanyu: why do you like Yao gege all of a sudden.
Binghe: I can like whoever i want, yuyu.
Do you have a problem?
Yao ge showed me acceptance and respect. So I'm indebted to him.
Mo xuanyu: I see.
Well once Yao gege doesn't have a problem, then I'm good.
Xue yang: do you still want Shen Qingqiu?
You can take him.
And you can take Lan Xichen too.
Binghe: yangyang. I always want Shizun. But I told Yao ge that I would stalk him from afar.
Shen Jiu: XUE YANG! How dare you try to sell me!
Xue yang: sell is such a strong word.
I'm offering you as a concubine.
Shen Jiu: you don't have the authority!
Who do you think you are?
Huanghou. Do you see!
Qin Su: well technically Shen Jiu is Yao Huangdi's concubine. Only the emperor can approve of a transfer of concubines. However it's unprecedented.
Shen Jiu: ha!
Xue yang: can we at least try.
And then let Jiggy step on us afterwards?
Qin Su: no.
Binghe: you're lucky my Yao ge is saving you from me, Shizun.
I would've kidnap you and lock you up in Beijiang Mansion.
You'll make many children for me, and become my Furen!
Shen Jiu: *sigh* thanks for telling me.
Qin Su: poor Shen guifei.
Shen Jiu: no empress. I kinda like his yandere behavior. It's amusing.
Binghe: me? A yandere??
Oh please, Shizun.
Shen Jiu: you literally have a servant that looks and acts like me.
Binghe: preferences, Shizun.
Anyways, I gotta run. I have paperwork to do.
Byeeee Shizun. And others.
..
Mingjue: he's so stuck up and insolent.
Huaisang: well he's Huangdi's brother now.
Mo xuanyu: wait until we tell Binghe what you're saying about him!
Mingjue: and he would never believe.
Qin Su: he has a change of heart. And I prefer him like that.
Shi Qingxuan: agreed!
Jiang cheng: Binghe is so complex though.
First he wanted to break the harem, but now he's up in arms with Meng Yao.
Su she: he surrendered to Huangdi, after taihou made his dad a concubine.
Mingjue: oh right.
The great Tianlang Jun *rolls eyes*
Qin Su: Yao Huangdi tries to read and understand people. And sort of parallel himself with them.
Being unable to forget the past, he would try to mend ties if the time calls for it, and prevent such an event to happen again.
Binghe is a Meng now, and it's proper for him to keep good relations with family.
Shen Jiu: beautiful, Huanghou.
I understand. But Dage doesn't like it when he's bullied.
He rather bully others.
Qin Su: *laughs*
Chifeng zun. Maybe if you change your attitude, then people would respect you.
Try submitting to Huangdi a little more.
Wanrong: you are a concubine!
Shen Jiu: the guy got branded in his butt.
Mingjue: shut your mouth!
Shen Jiu: not making fun of you but, you should embrace it.
Wanyue: Nie gui fei, what is wrong with you?
Qin su: he disobeyed the emperor so that's why.
Sometimes one forgets that they belong to Huangdi.
Wanyue: exactly. I believe that's the perfect way to remind Nie guifei
Shen Jiu: *cracking up*
Xichen: so jealous of dage.
~~~~
Later in the day, Binghe met up with Yao and Zixuan, at Jing Manor's living room.
Also Meng Shi and her concubine Tianlang Jun were there having some tea together.
Yao: Bing-di. How was my harem?
Binghe: almost broke dage's back.
Other than that, your harem is chill in a chaotic way.
Yao: oh I see. Nothing new then.
I'm glad you like them.
Binghe: Dage complete confessed his feelings.
The guy is down bad for you! And loves to be manhandled.
Zixuan: but didn't mobei Jun manhandle him? Anyways Mobei Jun isn't my A-Yao.
Binghe: exactly.
Yao: was anyone recording? I would love to see!
Binghe: um.. I think Shi Qingxuan was.
Yao: haha, perfect. I'll get the footage from them.
Zixuan: what else?
Binghe: I told everyone that Huangdi doesn't want to sleep with them because they're unattractive and not affectionate enough.
Yao: well someone got to tell them.
Zixuan: omg Binghe *cracking up* I didn't know you were so savage! I regret being so jealous.
Binghe: you? Jealous of me?
Zixuan: I'm very protective of A-yao.
And I couldn't bear to see him with another.
Yao: well. What a way to put it.
Zixuan: Ayao is my twin.
Same dad but different moms.
Binghe: how is that possible?
Zixuan: long story! Anyways.
Binghe I forgive you for stealing Ayao away from me.
Binghe: when did I steal Yao ge away from you, Xuan ge? But I must say, we got close. He accepted me because he loved when you did the same with him.
Zixuan: awwwww.
Foxy, that's so sweet! We share the same blood, how could I abandon him.
Now we're emperors together.
Yao: and I've learnt how to be a big brother from you too. Now Binghe is my responsibility.
Zixuan: lovely! And you're always perfect in everything.
Binghe: guys, so how's Jiang cheng?
Should he belly dance for the three of us some time?
Zixuan: he's so sexy.
Yao: could've been more flexible. *opens fan*
Zixuan: no one can be as flexible as you, Ayao. It's impossible.
You invented flexibility.
Yao: pfft! But he could've tried.
We're emperors and deserve the best.
Binghe: agreed.
Yao: you can join us.
Zixuan: we would love that!
Us three rule the world.
You need to see how hot Jiang cheng is!
Binghe: I just realized.
Aren't you married to his sister??? What does she say about that??
Zixuan: A-Li thinks it's hilarious to be honest. She would tease him and call him Jiang guifei.
I'm weak for the Jiangs ok. They're so gorgeous for no reason at all.
Jiang cheng is also good with kids.
Yao: it melts our hearts actually.
But yes, Jiang cheng is sexy.
Binghe: can we share Shizun then? Since we had agreed on looking at Jiang gui fei?
Yao: I don't know if it would make Shen Jiu uncomfortable.
Zixuan: Lord Shen is A-yao's untouched Jade, A-He.
If Ayao permits.
Binghe: he was mine before guys, so I have a right to enjoy him.
Yao: oh dear.
Well one of these days. I'll check with Shen Jiu first.
Binghe: ok Yao ge.
Zixuan: he's quite political, Just like you.
On the other hand~
Meng Shi: Tianlang Jun, do you dance?
Tianlang Jun: if you're the maestro, then I can do anything.
Meng Shi: I'm flattered. But I was going to order you and Ruoruo to dance for me later.
Tianlang Jun: as you wish. I'll please you.
And feel free to punish me if I get anything wrong.
Meng Shi: *laughing*
Tianlang Jun: goddess, you can speak to spirits right?
Meng Shi: mhm.
Tianlang Jun: can you check up on her, on the spirit realm for me?
Meng Shi: definitely. But now she's going through a demigod process, which is done by women who died in childbirth or difficulties after pregnancy.
I wish she can complete it and see her son's accomplishment.
I'll gladly check on her for you.
Tianlang Jun: *kisses* thank you,
And sorry for talking about my first love.
Meng Shi: it's absolutely fine. You had a life before me. And Su Xiyan is in our memories.
Her story made me so emotional.
Tianlang Jun: you're so perfect! And understanding.
I love you!
Is there anyone you hate?
Meng Shi: Jin guangshan and Madam Jin only.
Tianlang Jun: one of these days I should punish them, tianlang Jun style.
Meng Shi: that would be very entertaining.
Ah, When our A-Song reaches his milestone, I must reveal hidden clues to him, to help him understand the Jianghu better.
I've learnt a lot when I was going through the process of becoming a goddess. These are secrets of the celestials
I've done the same with Yao'er and he had established a hall for them.
Tianlang Jun: as you should.
Yao: *enters* hey Aniang *kisses her hand*
Meng Shi: Yao'er. How are you.
Yao: doing good. What about you?
Meng Shi: *pats head* so happy to hear! Yes Yao'er. I'm feeling amazing these days.
Yao: that's so good.
Binghe: Jimu.
Zixuan: hi Jimu.
Meng Shi: hi babies. *strokes hair*
Are you done fighting over Yao'er?
He has a harem for that.
Binghe: yea. We're chill now.
Zixuan: we decided to let him into our circle. Heehee.
Meng Shi: lovely.
Binghe: they were telling me about Jiang guifei.
Meng Shi: *laughing* oh my goodness.
Tianlang Jun: ay! Kid!
Binghe: what?
Tianlang Jun: you're building a harem again? Why don't you marry one person and settle down.
Binghe: dad, why must you be jealous of me.
Just because you're a concubine and I'm not?
Tianlang: I'll show you concubine, with a a slap!
Binghe: *runs behind Ayao*
Zixuan: so that's what the Demon king is afraid of.
Binghe: I'm not afraid of him. *sticks out his tongue*
Meng Shi: Bing'er, don't tease your dad. *chuckles*
Tianlang Jun. His harem was gifted to him by Yao'er.
Yao: right.
I wanted him to be comfortable. Binghe is a Meng, so he deserves Meng luxuries.
Tianlang Jun: how generous of you, Yao'er Huangdi
I hope Bing'er is responsible with them.
Binghe: ugh, I am.
Huaisang: Xuan Huangdi.
Zixuan: *raises brow*
Huaisang: Jintang gave me the list of chores to do. So I'll get them done before you get back to the palace.
San ge, do you have a telepotation talisman.
Yao: of course. Here you go.
Binghe: heehee. So he's really a maid? *laughing* Xuan ge, can I borrow him.
Huaisang: *trembling*
Zixuan: I don't see why not.
And we're all brothers.
Foxy and I tend to share our staff when we visit each other.
Binghe: excellent.
Huaisang, when you're working for me, I'd like you to address me as Junshang, ok.
Dude, why are you scared?
Huaisang: maybe because you're the fierce Demon King and the feared Meng Gongye.
Binghe: then don't get me angry. Simple.
Huaisang: San ge. Your brothers scare me. I hope you know that.
Yao: yes, but I don't have control over that.
Huaisang: would I be paid?
Binghe: sure. I'll pay you 400 taels. How does that sound.
Zixuan: why 400?
I pay him 160.
He he's from a wealthy sect.
Well not Lanling and Laoling wealthy, but.
Then he's also a concubine.
Binghe: I'm just feeling generous. That's all. Yao ge says that he collects fans, books, paint and paintings.
Meng shi: how sweet of you, Bing'er.
Tianlang: if you have good tastes, then why are you scheming for?
Huaisang: because I like drama and get bored. Senior Concubine.
Tianlang Jun: then do better.
Yao: that's why Zish give him a job.
Tianlang Jun: good idea.
Zixuan: exactly.
A-He, I'll have him for the week and you'll have him on weekends
Binghe: deal.
Huaisang: why do I feel like a child whose parents are going through divorce.
Zixuan: it's not about you.
Binghe: you're more of a peace Treaty.
Xuan ge and I weren't on good terms at first.
Zixuan: now I know we can share Foxy. And share you too!
Huaisang causes drama. Then Ayao and Binghe bonds a bit at the end.
(New cover debut!!)
Jing Manor's lounge area 📍
Shi Qingxuan: *having tea and admiring paintings*
Since her baby was developing quickly, she already has a little baby bump.
Shi Qingxuan: Baby Meng, your Diedie has some beautiful antiques displayed all over the palace.
I can't wait to show them to you.
Huaisang: *peeping from behind a wall*
Shi Qingxuan: I love you so much, Meng'er.
Huaisang: Shi Qingxuan is so cute being pregnant.
But I kinda crave drama and gossip. It's boring these days.
Huaisang: Shi Qingxuan! *running in* i forgot to congratulate you!
Shi Qingxuan: thank youuu Huaisang.
Huaisang: how are you feeling?
Shi Qingxuan: so amazing.
I don't really get sick often.
Huaisang: that's so good.
Qin Su: *goes to enter, but decides to eavesdrop on Huaisang instead*
Huaisang: did Huanghou meet you yet? You two seem strangely distant lately.
Shi Qingxuan: oh no no. She's busy.
And Rusong Dianxia's wedding is coming up so there's a lot of preparation to get done.
Huaisang: ohh, I thought she was being threatened or something.
Shi Qingxuan: how?
Huaisang: your Meng'er is fast growing. And would probably be powerful. Yes all Huangdi's children are powerful, but what if this one wants to challenge Rusong Taizi Dianxia.
Shi Qingxuan: *gasps* no no no no. That will never happen.
Huaisang: relax. It's a what if.
Huanghou would do anything in her power to secure the eldest son's claim to the throne.
And you should be aware of filial piety.
The youngest can always replace the eldest, once they're favored enough.
Shi Qingxuan: I'll teach Meng'er how to respect their older brother.
Qin Su: *listening*
Wanyue: Su jiejie.
Wanrong: what is he saying?
Qin Su: shh.
Everything can't be turned without the emperor.
He's all seeing.
Huaisang is just being Huaisang.
Causing unnecessary drama.
Wanyue: should we give him a taste of our minds?!
Jiejie, I'm so worried.
Qin Su: well I'm not.
Wanyue: why??
Qin Su: because he's Rusong. Empress Qin and Emperor Meng's first son, Rusong.
He will rule and no one else.
And when he gets married, he'll get more claim.
My dear son.
I don't want to be taihou for power, but for pride. Everyone bows to Huangdi. And I want the same for my Rusong.
Wanrong: so be it, jiejie.
Wanyue: do you think Aqing is a good match for him?
Qin Su: of course. She's a lovely companion.
She makes A-Song very happy.
Plus Rusong always gets what he wants.
Huaisang: what if you run away.
Shi Qingxuan: i can't do that! I have the emperor's child.
Huaisang: I just don't want Huanghou to be like the Madam Jin to your Meng Taihou.
Shi Qingxuan: don't worry at all.
Nothing like that will happen.
Huaisang: then make him less favored by Huangdi.
Shi Qingxuan: Huaisang, I can't stop Huangdi from loving his baby. And he already said that they can do anything they wish.
Huaisang: well ok then. Just remember
I'm here for you. I'm your wellwisher.
Bye for now.
Shi Qingxuan: bye Huaisang. *hugs*
Huaisang: *skips off* (yay drama!!! Gosh, I hope dage doesn't find out. I couldn't help it for long)
~~
Shi Qingxuan: I hope Meng'er doesn't dare.
Qin Su: Shi guifei.
I mean Shi meimei.
Shi Qingxuan: Qin jiejie! You're here! You're not mad at me? I promise I'm not a target. I'll teach Meng'er to kowtow before you and your supermodel son.
Qin Su: what are you talking about?
And I'm not mad at you. I came to give you a little gift.
Shi Qingxuan: gift!!
Qin Su: mhm. *sits, and gives her a box with a chunk of diamond* for you and baby Meng. You can cut it and make jewels or little ornaments if you want.
Shi Qingxuan: jiejie. I'm just a mere concubine.
And such an expensive gift?!
Qin Su: accept the gift, dear.
You're pregnant with a baby Meng.
Shi Qingxuan: thank you.
I thought you were mad at me.
Qin su: just don't listen to Huaisang. He always cause confusion.
I don't know why doesn't he shut up.
Shi Qingxuan: you overheard Huaisang?!! Omg! Huanghou, I've performed treason.
Forgive me.
Qin Su: Meimei, relax.
And it's not good for your health.
Qin su: I know you'll instill good values in Meng'er. And Huangdi wouldn't do such an unprecedented thing.
Shi Qingxuan: what do you think? Should I make him unfavorable to Huangdi?
Qin Su: no. Taking away Huangdi's child is an offense.
Shi Qingxuan: right! That's what I told Huaisang.
Qin Su: Meng'er is Huangdi's baby.
We can't do that.
Shi Qingxuan: They'll be like Rusong's other younger siblings. Promise!
Qin Su: *strokes hair* I know.
Aw your baby bump!
Shi Qingxuan: yess! They always grow up so fast, don't they?!
Qin Su: that's right..
Look at Rusong. He's my baby. And can you believe he's getting married soon.
Shi Qingxuan: times flies!
Qin Su: everyone else is so big already. As well as Hua.
Shi Qingxuan: But jiejie. Is Rusong your favorite son?
Qin Su: I don't have favorites.
It's just that I'm closer to Rusong because he's my blood son with the emperor.
His other children, except for Hua are from other concubines. Jingyi for Lan guifei. Xiaobao is Taihou's cousin's grandson, Xiaoyu is his adopted sister and Taihua is mine and Huangdi's child.
Shi Qingxuan: I see. How interesting.
Qin Su: anyways. I love everyone equally. And they deserve the world.
Shi Qingxuan: awww.
Qin Su: and my Rusong deserves to rule.
It's his birthright.
Shi Qingxuan: yes it is.
Qin su: let's just ignore Huaisang ok?
Shi Qingxuan: *hugs* of course Jiejie.
Qin Su: I'll tell team d to rough them up a bit.
Shi Qingxuan: yayieeeeee!!!
~~~
Meanwhile, in Bing Manor, Binghe enjoyed the pleasure of having a whole harem of hulijings~ and of course team Bing.
They massaged him, stroked his ego a bit, flirted and poured wine. Whereas some entertained him.
When Yao Huangdi gifted him the harem, he ordered Binghe to respect each one of his harem members, or else Huangdi would take them back, and conpensate. Ayao had a whole selection system of talented, beautiful and eligible fox spirits, who willingly applied for the position as a concubine~ so it wasn't forced.
Some fell in love with his portrait and victories, some are in love with his status and some just love the fact that they're in a palace, and they're able to see Huangdi.
Like~ Their emperor is absolutely gorgeous. Who wouldn't?? AND they're getting ranks??? That's a win win.
Binghe's fox spirits concubine are allowed to be court members if they want. It's much encouraged.
Knowing Yao Huangdi is against any sort of exploitation or slavery, he made sure the harem members are living in good conditions. Then also Binghe is the brother of an emperor, so he deserves to select concubines. (Just that during the selection, he chose everyone who showed up).
Meili: *kisses* my lord, you're so gorgeous!
Binghe: I know, know.
Sha Hualing: Meili! I know you're the maid but you should keep within your limits!
Meili: *showing her cute hulijing charm* and you are?
Sha Hualing: The Demon Saintess Sha Hualing.
And I don't like you ovet Binghe.
Meili: oh so you can dance for the empress and I can't serve Meng Gongye.
And besides, I heard from a maid friend that you get bullied by Wang Lingjiao.
Sha Hualing: *gasps, then pulls out a whip*
Binghe: *laughing* oh my goodness! You're so savage.
Sha Hualing: Binghe!!
Binghe: relax, Hualing.
Come sit next to me.
Sha Hualing: *kneels by his side instead* Junshang, am I cute?
Binghe: very fierce!
Shang Qinghua: I like your Shizun servant.
Binghe: Shizun is MINE!!!
It's best you don't compliment him.
Shang Qinghua: got it! I'll just say he's hot in my mind.
Mobei Jun: *sighs* gosh, this simp!
Shang Qinghua: jealous, my king?? *grins*
Mobei Jun: not at all.
Zhonglu: it's truly a curse to be this hot.
Binghe: you got that right, Shizun.
Shang Qinghua: you know I didn't know there are two Shizuns. Which one is the original?
Zhonglu: me!
Binghe: him!
*drinks wine*
Mobei Jun: Junshang, sorry to sour the party but Wen Zongzhu had allowed you to use his Wen clan members for your operations.
Binghe: oh well that's great news.
I'm getting hooked on Yao ge's affection, and I want to do something to get more.
I'll have them drag Jin guangshan here for me to end him.
Yao ge will be so pleased.
Shang Qinghua: so you love your Yao ge? I mean Huangdi.
Binghe: not as much as Shizun. But....but I love it when someone shows me affection. I never had that before.
Only Shizun and Yao ge gave it to me.
I believe, if I kept on being successful, I get more power and appreciation.
Mobei Jun: affection, recognition and success are all addictions.
Binghe: exactly. Absolutely enticing.
Binghe: *drinks more wine*
Yao ge is such a nice person, a feel bad for trying to break his harem.
Shang Qinghua: aww.
Binghe: the Mengs are indeed powerful, and I love that power.
Speaking of Meng, Yao Huangdi enters, and all concubines and the rest bowed in respect.
Yao: Discard the formalities.
Binghe: Yao ge! I was just talking about you.
Yao: oh really? What were you saying?
Binghe: I'm just telling them about my surprise I have for you.
Yao: aw, you want to surprise lil ol me?! You're too sweet, Bing-di.
Binghe: have a seat, Yao ge. If you're not too busy.
Yao: thank you.
My staff was already planning tomorrow's court assembly.
Binghe: court assembly! Oh yea!! I'll be there.
Yao: you should.
Binghe: as you command, Huangdi.
Yao: *pats head*
Binghe: do you drink wine, Yao ge?
Yao: of course I do.
I'm a fan of wine!
Sha Hualing: Huangdi, if you get drunk. I can tend to you.
I'm your humble servant.
Yao: thank you for your hospitality. But I believe that you're not a part of my harem.
Serve Meng Gongye instead.
Sha Hualing: yes Huangdi. *pouts*
Shang Qinghua: aren't you afraid of Huanghou?
Sha Hualing: nah. I would love to sleep with both of them though.
Yao: *raises brow*
Mobei Jun: Huangdi. I'm so sorry.
Binghe: Hualing just says things.
Yao: don't worry. I'm quite used to it with team dimple....and Xichen.
Sha Hualing: xue yang is hot.
And an excellent fighter.
Binghe: ugh, Xue yang now???
Sha Hualing: so it's illegal to call people hot?
Jealous??
Binghe: *rolls eyes* no.
(He clearly is) Yao ge, what are you hiding in Yiling. To have Hua Cheng, the Elite fox spirits and team dimple guarding that place?
Wait! The Yin iron? Wei wuxian's inventions!
Tiger tally?
Yao: I can't reveal anything to you, A-He. Even though you're now my step brother. But I can tell you that, as Huangdi, I must protect the public from these powerful devices.
Binghe: ahh. I see.
Yao: it's the best to lock them away,
Binghe: afraid that the Yiling laozu will reclaim them?
Yao: no. I'm not afraid of anything. I don't want anything bad to befall on my empire.
To tell you the truth, I'm happy that he retired.
Binghe: but what if he didn't?
Yao: Wei Gongzi and I are actually close. We're always chatting about seducing the Lan Brothers.
But to secure my empire, I'll have to make sure that he abides by my rules.
Binghe: I love that about you! And I agree!
Everyone got to obey. You're the emperor.
I still want to hang with your harem tho.
Make sure that they're not causing treason.
Yao: you're free to question them.
Binghe: thank you Yao ge!!
You're the best.
Yao: of course I am.
Binghe: such a diva.
Yao: so I see you're settling well. *pats head*
Binghe: yea ge! It's the best.
Large harem of beauties, property and fame.
Yao: oh fame you say?
Binghe: yea! Qishan worships me basically.
Yao: that's so good to hear.
I'm happy that my A-He is getting recognition, and bringing fame to the Mengs.
Binghe: mhm.
I think, later on. I want to have children.
Yao: aw really?! That would be lovely.
Sha Hualing: awwww. Junshang. Are you gonna get me pregnant?
Meili: Junshang well get me pregnant first
Binghe: guys guys. Stop fighing over me, even though I like it. I want to get Shizun pregnant.
Zhonglu: me?
I'm so honoured, Meng Gongye.
Binghe: aww.
Now where are the dancers! Why did they stop performing? Huangdi and I are here, so you must perform perfectly.
Dancers: yes Gongye. *bows, then began to dance*
Binghe: I heard that Yao ge is a talented dancer.
Yao: correct! Learnt from A-niang.
Binghe: tell me if they're out of sync. I won't hesitate to fire them.
Yao: Binghe. They're doing good. No need to do that.
Plus i gifted them to you.
Binghe: oh right. Then they must be talented.
Yao: exactly.
Binghe: you treat me so nicely!
And I admire that.
Yao: I must. And don't worry, I'm not trying to manipulate you.
I genuinely care about you now, and see you as my responsibility.
Binghe: aww.
Shang Qinghua: *sobs* awwwww that's do adorable!
Yao: A-He, I have my events Bureau designing wedding invitations cards for Rusong. But I'm planning to give the receiver a small gift as well.
Binghe: how about a pendant with the couple's names on it.
Rusong was just lounging around in his office, getting some Yunping stuff done and opening letters. Jingyi and Xiaobao were also hanging around~ and helping their gege with the filing. Well....except for Jingyi. Paper makes him flustered so.
Xiaobao: Yi gege, but what about your reports in Gusu?
Jingyi: haven't touched those yet.
And these files are reminding me of that pile on my desk.
Xiaobao: dang. Are they from the sect?
Jingyi: nah, Zewu Jun handles those. I'm in charge of reports from the people who actually live in Gusu. There are officials who represent the mortals.
Rusong: Jingyi. You got to reply to them. It's very important.
What if~
Jingyi: Rusong, don't worry about that. I have Su Fengge handling everything.
Rusong: ah, well that's good news. But wouldn't Lan Qiren have a problem?
Jingyi: *laughing* He doesn't even know.
Xiaobao: how did you manage to hide someone from Moling Su then?
Jingyi: nah, I didn't sneak him in. He's working from A-die's Mansion in Gusu. Plus shufu can't tell me anything basically.
Rusong: exactly.
I think they should forget their rivalry. Su Minshan is Xiandu and the Lans are still very popular and prominent.
Anyways. Let them be salty.
Jingyi: yea I live it when they're salty!
Xiaobao: quite amusing.
Rusong: you and Su Fengge are quite the pair
Jingyi: I know right.
Xiaobao: but I thought you guys were faking your relationship.
Jingyi: we were, but then we tried dating.
And it worked!!!
Xiaobao: awww.
Rusong: I'm so happy for you two.
So you guys are still frenemies or?
Xiaobao: some kind of situationship.
Jingyi: to tell you the truth, I don't know what it is.
Rusong: you do you then.
Your situationship is intriguing.
In addition, Lt. Yanqing, a member from the Cloud Knights entered with some type of box sliced in half.
He took his grandfather-in-law's advice and started working for Rusong part time!
Yanqing: Taizi, you got a message and I sliced it in half!
Rusong: why? Who is it from?
Yanqing: well you know I love swords.
Also I don't know who sent it.
I just found it outside, near the bridge to your verandah.
Rusong: that's strange. Is the message itself in tack?
Yanqing: yes, it's inside this brass incense burner.
Jingyi: dude, how didn't your sword break when it hit that?
Yanqing: because it's my trusty sword, er Dianxia.
My prized possession.
I saw this box with "To Taizi" written on it, but Taizi's messages are always presented to him. It's improper to leave it like that on the floor.
So I got upset and sliced it in half.
Xiaobao: so your sword spoke first.
Yanqing: always. Don't tell Yunli, please. She thinks that I obsess over my sword too much.
Jingyi: secrets safe with me.
Xiaobao: Song gege, song gege, we're matchmakers you know.
Rusong: haha, I realized.
Yanqing, you should have told me about your relationship.
Yanqing: I didn't want to waste your time, Taizi. Like why would you care about your mere servant's relationship drama?
Rusong: I really don't mind.
Yea I'm your future Huangdi, but it doesn't mean we can't chat.
Yanqing: Taizi is very kind.
Rusong: now shall we get down to business.
That incense burner's style is native to Tingshan. So it definitely comes from the Tingshan He sect.
Kohaku: Dianxia, stand back. I'll open it for your safety.
Jingyi: weren't they exiled?! How dare they send things to you.
Xiaobao: exiled?
Rusong: yea, after A-Die killed the sect leader He Su.
They got a new sect leader, He Deming, Since they are shunned and aren't allowed to function as a sect, they decided to make handicraft. And some gentries went back to making incense burners.
I have a large collection of different incense burners, but neither of them are from these fools.
Rusong: what does the message say.
Kohaku: *reading* "Rusong Dianxia, long time we haven't spoken.
Your dad keeps ignoring my messages. However I would like to have an audience with you. Let's settle things once and for all.
He Deming."
Xiaobao: so....will you go?
Jingyi: I'm coming with you!!! I wanna give him a piece of my mind!
Rusong: I should go, but first I have to show A-Die.
Well if you guys are up for the adventure. However I don't advise it.
Xiaobao: why not!
I want to come too.
Rusong: it might not be 100% safe
Jingyi: so.
We're both cultivators. We encounter danger almost every day.
Xiaobao: *pout* Song gege. *tugs his sleeve* please.
Rusong: A-Bao, you know I can't say no when you look all cute.
Xiaobao: I'm always cute, Song gege.
Yaoqing: I will slice him in half if you'd like, Dianxia.
Rusong: no need, Yanqing. Thank you. A-Yi, A-Bao, let's hear what A-Die says first.
~
Jing Manor's great room.
Yao: *finishing up talking to a gumiho official.* Pleasure speaking to you. Hope we meet again.
Thank you, Huangdi. *exits*
Rusong: A-Die.
Yao: ah A-Song, A-Yi and A-Bao! Lovely to see you three babies together. Tell me, A-Song.
Rusong: A-Die, I got a message from He Deming. *hands him the letter*
Yao: Tingshan He?!
Rusong, we're they around your residence?!
Xiying, I want the Manor's security to be strengthened some more. And especially around Pine Pavillion.
Xiying: I'll send the message, Huangdi
Rusong: I'm fine A-Die, don't worry.
Yao: *strokes hair* my dear.
A-Yi, A-Bao, you two must be safe too. *strokes their hair*
Xiaobao: we will.
Jingyi: of course Diedie!
Yao: that's my sons.
*reads to himself*
Yao: ah, how diplomatic. But not at all structured.
It was in fact rushed, meaning that he has an agenda he wants to accomplish quickly. And this was more spontaneous than planned out.
But if it's diplomatic, and you don't go, you'll be seen as a coward.
Show him that you're a Meng, listen to this thing he wants to settle and make a decision like a Meng.
Rusong: as you wish, A-Die. And I'll settle things like a Meng too.
Yao: I have absolute trust in you, A-Song. You're very headstrong.
Xiaobao: A-Die, can we go with Song gege?
Jingyi: you know we're very close to him, and I want to kill our enemies with my guqin!
Rusong: I'll look out for them, A-Die.
I have already told them that it would be dangerous.
Yao: it won't be dangerous at all,
Would i ever send my sons somewhere without security.
I will have the hulijings, cloud Knights and Moling Su assasins to guard you secretly.
Jingyi: so cool!!!
Rusong: thank you, A-Die.
Yao: oh. I almost forgot.
*unwraps hensheng from his waste* you can borrow Hensheng. You're able to wield it too.
And the sword spirit is devoted to you as well.
Rusong: *bow* thank you. I will use it with honour.
Yao: I know.
.....
Shortly after, Rusong, Jingyi and Xiaobao traveled through Tingshan by carriage.
Xiaobao: what an ugly place.
Jingyi: well they're broke, so.
And controlled by an idiot.
Xiaobao: doesn't mean that they should know what style is.
Rusong: agreed. The place is worst than Yi City, after A-qing became Taizifei.
Jingyi: what?! Wifey gave it a makeover?
Rusong: no, it just got really popular, shudong province had always been funded by our family, but the figures skyrocketed.
Xiaobao: everyone will love Qing Saozi. She's already an icon.
Rusong: that's right.
A-Bao, when you become a scholar later, would you like your own sect?
Xiaobao: yea I thought of that. Maybe like Shizun's sect. Shizun is so cool!
I was supposed to be the leader of the Jinqi sect, which is my foster father's sect.
Rusong: excellent. The He sect may fall again, with He Deming.
So I'm thinking of giving you Tingshan when I become Huangdi.
Xiaobao: awwww yay!! Thank you so much Gege!! *hugs* you pamper me so much!
Rusong: any time A-bao.
Tingshan Meng?
Xiaobao: YES!
Rusong: but Meng should change a bit, so that people can differentiate between our imperial Meng family and the gentries of a sect with the same name.
Xiaobao: how about Mung?
Rusong: that can work.
Jingyi: where's my gift, Rusong.
Rusong: well you'll already have a sect so, I'll give you that Mansion we have in Gusu.
Jingyi: wow.
You're the best!!
Rusong: and you both are expensive.
But I love giving you gifts.
The He Residence📍
When they entered the He residence, they had received sort of a cold welcome. However Rusong ignored them and carried on.
Jingyi: is this the respect you all have for Rusong! How rude.
Xiaobao: I want them fired! Fired for disrespecting Song Gege.
He sect member: Er Dianxia, San Dianxia, we are all bitter about the Mengs.
Restore our sect back!
Jingyi: huh, never! Right Rusong!
Rusong: 100% correct.
He sect member: then DOWN with the Mengs!!
Rusong: *stabs him.
Then the rest of He sect members knelt in fear*
Xiaobao: so you had to wait on some dude to be stabbed, just to respect Song gege.
Jingyi: pathetic!
Rusong: ah, guys don't waste your qi on those fools.
Their sect leader is only a sect leader in just name alone. He has no power out of Tingshan.
But shouldn't He Deming be here to see me.
He Deming: I'm over here, Dianxia. *walks in*
Xiaobao: ew is that him?
Jingyi: looks like he makes cliche monologues.
Xiaobao: Shizun warned me about people like that.
He Deming: looks like you got my letter, Dianxia, amd actually showed up.
I was telling my sect members that you were too coward to come over here.
Jingyi: watch your mouth! Rusong is not a coward! And he will stab you like your weasel sect member.
He Deming: so Guangyao sent all his spawns here?
And as for my rude sect members, I would like to apologize on their behalf.
Rusong: keep your apologies to yourself. And get to the point.
He Deming: feisty.
Also you do resemble Guangyao.
Rusong: Meng Huangdi to you. You are to respect my family.
He Deming: why?? Because you're in charge?!
Jingyi: duh!
Rusong: He Zongzhu, I was never taught to be a coward.
I must face every challenge that comes my way.
Xiaobao: Song gege is Taizi Dianxia! Why would he be afraid to speak to you!
He Deming: *laughing* maybe because He Su tried to kill him and the Meng family, then capture their vast empire.
I want to fulfill that dream.
Rusong: oh really. With your handful of He sect members?
Am I like a joke to you? *opens fan* I believe that someone with only title should do better than that.
Their face is all they have.
He Deming: flowery words, but sharp as a blade. You really are your father's child.
And how dare you bring rub it in?
Rusong: I can dare to anything I like, Zongzhu.
now can you tell me what you called me here for? I don't have all day. And my brothers are allergic to your ugly place.
He Deming: *sarcastic* of course. Of course. Right this way, Rusong.
In the sect leader's meeting room, Rusong went ahead and sat on the sect leader's chair.
Then Xiaobao and Jingyi sat near to him.
He Deming: *infuriated* Hey kid!!!
Fox spirits: *unsheaths their swords*
Rusong: if you fight, they'll stab.
He Deming: ..........I'll sit on the floor then. Yea...go ahead...
Jingyi: *cracking up* dude I thought you were tough.
He Deming: yea I'm a usurper but I don't want to get killed so soon! And especially not by that Rusong!
Where did these fox spirits come from?!
Xiaobao: what a fake. And a fool too.
Hulijings can become invisible if they like.
He Deming: Rusong.
Rusong: I didn't do anything! I swear.
*looks at his fox spirits, who immediately sheaths their weapons*
He Deming: if you didn't know, we're a generous clan, who treat our guests and enemies well. Would you like any refreshments.
Rusong: no thank you. Neither do I nor my brothers want anything you have to offer.
He Deming: afraid I poison you?
Rusong: oh please. Knowing you, you may tell us it's poisoned then shove it down our throats.
Judging from your thirst for vengeance.
Amd literally being at your place. Wouldn't you want to poison me like that instead?
He Deming: (should have went ahead! Why didn't I do that!)
Rusong! What kind of psychological technique are you trying on me?!
Rusong: just wanted you to realize that you're an idiot.
Anyways, Zongzhu. Proceed.
He Deming: *clears throat* Rusong, promise me, when you become Huangdi, you'll make me a court official.
I will have full influence on your decisions
Rusong: I don't wish to be your puppet, Zongzhu. You better remember who you're speaking to.
He Deming: uh huh?! Then I can always spread some dirty made up rumors about your beloved A-qing across the Jianghu.
She'll shamefully die in front of you.
Rusong: you sick man! Leave Aqing out of this!! Challenge me instead!
He Deming: you have to chose.
Rusong: then I choose neither!
He Deming: you quite stubborn.
Rusong: sometimes you must be.
Sect leader, I forgot to mention that Tingshan is a hidden gem.
He Deming: really?
Jingyi: ew really???
Xiaobao: I don't see it.
Rusong: of course it is.
It's boarded by two rivers.
Correct?
He Deming; you're right! You're right! That's how we get our groceries delivered.
Huangdi had really imprisoned us in Tingshan.
Rusong: I do sympathize with you. But Huangdi did what's best suitable for his empire.
He Deming: I thought we hated each other? Why do you agree all of a sudden.
Rusong: well we are cultivators. And sometimes a Dianxia must comply.
Jingyi: Rusong, why are you-!
Xiaobao: shh. *whispers* he's outsmarting him*
He Deming: no way I'm getting fooled by you! You tricky hulijing!!
Rusong: well suit yourself. I tried to help, despite you insulting my authority as well as my family's.
Jingyi: I wouldn't even dare help someone if they insulted me like that.
You should listen to Rusong.
Xiaobao: you made a mistake rejecting help from Rusong Taizi Dianxia.
Rusong: you yourself said that you treat your enemies and guests well. But I guess you lied about that.
He Deming: you dare question my hospitality?! And yes! I reject your proposal!! I don't want to hear anything from you.
*to his sect members* grab that Rusong!
He sect members: *bent their heads and walked away*
Yea sorry dude, we don't want to be killed by hulijings~
Rusong: *unsheaths hensheng* you will listen to my proposal.
He Deming: *unsheaths his sword, but then Rusong broke it in half with Hensheng*
Rusong: quit acting like a coward.
He Deming: I'm never a coward! Tell me your proposal, and I'll accept right away!!
Rusong: good. *sits* there are three options. One, I'll give you an imperial court position when I become Huangdi.
And I'll give you 50k as your salary.
You're to sever all ties to Tingshan.
Two, You stay in Tingshan, with 50k. But as A-Bao's assistant. However, you'll gain a lot more money in trade.
Three, you will work as my unpaid personal assistant.
I hope you do read between the fine lines. It may help.
He Deming: is that a trick?!
Rusong: it's plain as day, Zongzhu.
He Deming: I don't want to be under you or your stupid Meng system. All I want in this life, is power!! Power! I'll never be your servant! And unpaid???
How dare you! Don't know why He Su didn't kill you!
Rusong: Kohaku, imprison him immediately.
Kohaku and other hulijings: yes Dianxia*
He Deming: what?!! What did I do?! For not choosing one of your idiotic conditions!
Rusong: you have performed treason.
Rusong: with the power given to me by Huangdi, I order you to be executed tomorrow.
He Deming: my sect members will release me.
Rusong: if they wish to be executed too.
If they go against me, they go against the emperor.
Thereafter, a hulijing, a Kitsune and a Gumiho official greeted Huangdi.
Gu DaRen (the hulijing official): Huangdi, from the hulijing section of the empire, your hulijings wish to be more superior than cultivators. And they demand to open their own clans within the main Jianghu.
Yao: I have permitted my hulijings to start their own sect within hulijing friendly areas. Fortunately, I'm pleased with how they are treated, hence I see no problem in them opening their clans within the main Jianghu.
However. I can't make them superior than cultivators.
Even though, they're very powerful, I advise them to be equal.
Gu DaRen: as you wish, Huangdi. I'll deliver the message. And much easily too, because of Jade abacus.
Yao: I'm so glad to hear that.
Gu DaRen: I have a meeting with the Hulijing Affairs Bureau later. Anything Huangdi wants me to tell them?
Yao: I do, actually.
Recently I've read that various cities like Luofu and the Fanghu don't have proper offices and officials.
Tell the Bureau that I'll see to that problem.
Gu DaRen: Huangdi is so intelligent! *bow* and so generous too.
Yao: as I should be.
Thank you for your report.
Official Aoto (Kitsune): Heika, are you going to let Adepti into your empire? If so, may we be permitted to mingle with other beings of our pantheon and let them into out Kitsune communities?
We have never really mingled, because we're secretive by nature.
Yao: you're always permitted to mingle with others outside your world.
And yes, I'm planning to form alliances with Liyue.
But please go ahead. Dongying is a land filled with unique and beautiful creatures. I haven't really restricted any interactions. Though I'm not their Heika, I would still like to learn about their lifestyle and habits
Aoto: I'm delighted to hear that you agree, Heika.
Like our Gumiho counterparts, we have started the imperial exam season. After that, 50 candidates will be given an internship.
Yao: oh yes, as espected. This is the time of the year for that.
I wish them good luck.
And I know you have a little election afterwards.
Aoto: the best must be selected
Official Si-woo: Hwangje, since we had both adapted the same process, it helped us maintain good relations.
Thank you very much for the idea.
Yao: anything to maintain order.
We can't afford to fight with each other.
Si woo: Hwangje, you're the most brilliant.
May you and your Meng heirs rule forever.
Yao: *smile*
Now tell me, Official. How is the education sector? Improving?
Si woo: gradually Hwangje.
There's a region who can't afford it.
Yao: then I'll fund them.
Si woo: oh you will??
Yao: I am in fact a rich emperor who had done it before. And I value the importance of education.
Si woo: thank you, Hwangje.
Yao: I would like to permit the minor clan leaders to open their clans within your region, just to expand themselves a bit.
A few major cultivators are free to do the same.
Yao: Minshan, will you see to it?
Su she: certainly, Huangdi.
Si woo: you're free to do so, my emperor.
Aoto: that sounds lovely, Heika.
Nie and Lan Zongzhu already have their districts in Dongying, as well as the fox spirits.
Yao: yes.
To represent Zhongguo and the smaller clans, I'll promote Shen Qingqiu as my envoy.
He'll collect their reports and make sure that they're properly settled.
Shen Jiu will be like their acting Xiandu, while Su Xiandu stays close to me.
Su she: *blush* next to Huangdi?....
Shen jiu: thank you for the honour, Huangdi. *bows*
Xichen: congrats Shen Jiu.
Sect leader: why him, Huangdi?!
Su she: you're not allowed to speak, until Huangdi calls you.
And how dare you question his authority.
Shen Jiu: Sect leader Yao, what are you winning about this time.
Please, shall we settle things in the presence of the emperor?
Sect leader Yao: a rather beat up up!!
Shen Jiu: without a core?
I don't recommend that.
Sect leader Yao: permission to speak, Huangdi.
Yao: you have 13 minutes.
You should know that I don't ever back down on my decision.
Binghe: this fcking old bat. How dare he say that about my Shizun.
Sect leader Yao: I believe that I should get the post.
The Meng Family and the major clans are in charge of everything, and I think I should build myself too.
Plus Shen Jiu is not from our Jianghu. What would he know.
Shen Jiu: are you qualified?
Yao: don't forget that's my concubine you're talking about. And your lord Shen!
Binghe: *leaps forward and chokes Sect leader Yao*
Sect leader Yao: ay! Ay! Let go of me! *coughs*
Binghe: *sinks his claws in his throat* I'll rip your neck off!!! Shizun is capable of doing anything!!
Sect leader Yao: who the hell are you?!
Binghe: the emperor's brother! And you shall have respect for Shizun and I!
Sect leader Yao: Huangdi....have mercy.....make him stop!
Yao: Binghe, drag him out.
Binghe: *throws him out the window*
Xichen: i think he meant out the door.
Binghe: *sigh* Lan lips, this is not the time!
Xue yang: I like Binghe.
Mo xuanyu: he disposed of that old bag so perfectly.
Su she: Huangdi. Your opinion?
Yao: well deserved. Court shall continue like normal.
Binghe: anyone else want to be thrown outside??
Court members: *staying silent*
Binghe: where did this piece of rubbish come from!
And he is badmouthing Shizun.
If I see him again, I'll BURN him!
Shizun. *smile*
Do you love me now? Throw someone out the window for you.
Shen Jiu: I'm impressed. I'll give you that.
Binghe: I love you.
Zhonglu: why haven't you done that for me, Binghe?!
Binghe: I will Shizun. *blows kiss*
Jiang cheng: Yao Huangdi's brother is such a yandere.
Huaisang: yea, he's crazy for Shen Jiu.
Jiang cheng: I see that.
Xichen: I see myself as a Yandere sometimes.
Huaisang: that only happens when the Lans are drunk.
Jiang cheng: yea.
Xichen: honestly I am kinda crazy for the emperor. But I'm a Lan, we're horny in a sophisticated way.
Huaisang: agreed.
But you're not Binghe level.
Jiang cheng, we should give him a nickname. Like Bingmei.
Xichen: aww, or Bingge.
Jiang cheng: Mad Duke Meng? Yandere Duke?
Huaisang: nahh.
Mingjue: can we refrain from talking about him and Shen Jiu. Before we become airborne.
Huaisang: you're right.
Speaking of air, I wish Shi Qingxuan was here to give me a nickname. She's pregnant.
Xichen: man. I want to be pregnant for the emperor.
Yao: Lan guifei.
Xichen: *kneels*
Yao: *raises brow, then starts hitting his hand with his fan in a stoic way*
Shen Jiu: do you think it's too early to give me a boner, Huangdi. You're so hot.
Xichen: sorry Huangdi. I was just horny again.
Yao: I see. *opens fan* tell me what you want to do with me later. But just remember that certain things can be deemed as treasonous.
Xichen: yes Huangdi.
Yao: *winks*
Xichen: (sometimes I try not to got crazy. But this emperor is so hot. And yes I will cause treason for him)
Sect leader Yao: *limping back in while holding his arm* Huangdi....Huangdi I'm sorry.
Yao: *zaps him, which made him fall on his knees*
Binghe: why are you back?!
Yao: A-He.
There's no need.
Though I loved how you punished him, we can't do that to our officials, as well as the opposition. There are other ways of punishment.
Yes sect leader Yao. What did you forget?
Sect leader yao: my pouch fell out.
Yao: *picks it up with his energy and gave it to him* here.
Shen Jiu: does it have money in that thing?
Huangdi, do you pay him?
Yao: not at all.
You may leave.
Sect leader Yao: *limps away*
Yao: Cloud Knight affairs?
Marshal Hua: Huangdi.
Your Jianghu is secure. And we have also assisted cultivators who quote on quote, don't need security.
Yao: who said that they don't?
Marshal Hua: mostly the Nies and Jiangs.
Yao: *sigh*
Nie Zongzhu, Jiang Zongzhu. What is your problem?
Mingjue: The cloud Knights are ok. But I believe that my clan members are capable of protecting themselves.
Jiang cheng: it's good that they're protecting the hulijings and mortals.
Yao: so you believe you're above the law? Because you're cultivators?
I know I've instructed the Cloud Knights to open their bases in the Jianghu and keep the Jianghu in line.
Shen Jiu: entitled much. Every new thing Huangdi does, you people have a problem with?
I believe it's a you problem.
Yao: can't really please people.
Lan Zongzhu, your views? What do the Verdant Cloud Knights do for Gusu?
Xichen: ever since they were stationed there, the number of theft and assault has reduced. They have also accompanied us on our night hunts.
Yao: excellent.
Xichen: not that they're controlling. They look out for everybody.
Sometimes I see your personal Cloud Knights, Feixiao, in my area.
Yao: oh yes. I intentionally sent her there.
*wink*
Xichen: *giggles*
Sect leader Ouyang Zizhen: The Cloud Knights are so cool! Their stealth and fighting styles! They make sure the fox spirits are living comfortably.
Yao: I know. I know they're good at what they do.
Chifeng zun always oppose me.
Best he becomes the opposition than Sect leader Yao.
Unfortunately he can't.
Marshal Hua: one thing too, Huangdi. Lt. Yanqing wishes to work for Taizi Dianxia.
Yao: that sounds delightful. Yanqing is another brilliant and strategic young man.
Yanqing: *bows* Huangdi, I'm your biggest fan.
I want to fulfill mine and my grandfather-in-law's wish of serving the Mengs in person.
He's the former Arbiter General Huaiyan.
Yao: another legendary hero close to the Mengs. And it always interests me when history repeats.
Huaiyan used to serve my grandfather the same way.
You have the right people around you.
Yanqing: thanks to Yunli, my fiance.
Yao: aw. Young love I see.
Congratulations.
Yanqing: thank you Huangdi.
Rusong: I'm happy to work with you, Lt. Yanqing.
And congrats on your love life.
My brothers had helped you get back your love.
Yanqing: yes they did, Taizi! And thank you.
Rusong: we'll have some fun.
Yanqing: I can start right now.
Rusong: sure. But for now, you should learn about Yunping and Laoling.
Yanqing: will do.
Yao: Su Xiandu.
I know you've already delivered the clan reports from the respective clans. And subdued the terror in Yiling and Qishan.
Su she: yes, successfully.
After that, the Jianghu's great clans had to assist people in protecting their property, and most importantly, themselves.
Yao: good job.
Su she: we're actually earning thousands a week.
Yao: how excellent.
And the night hunting cycle?
Su she: all running smoothly, Huangdi. That roster you created is really brilliant, like every invention of yours.
I would shuffle the clans and reshuffle them again, to determine who conducts the next night hunt.
Some weeks later, Yao Huangdi and Rusong visited a collection gallery in Jing Manor.
Rusong: wow, A-Die. Where did you get this incense burner? Looks fancy.
Yao: from the Gumiho court, as a gift of gratitude.
Rusong: quite exquisite.
Yao: I'm planning a conference for all Kitsunes, Hulijings and Gumihos to attend.
And I believe I should have some help for the preparations. A-Song.
Rusong: of course, A-Die! That will be fun. And that's a great idea, to have everyone meet with each other.
Yao: good to hear!
A-Song. 2 years after your wedding, will be your enthronement.
Rusong: understood. And thank you for giving me some free time to spend wiry my wife.
Yao: definitely. You both are a young couple who should learn to adapt.
But are you ready for all this?
Rusong: oh I'm pleased with my harem structure! There's no problem at all.
And as for the enthronement, I have learnt a lot from you and Shizun. Sadly I can't be as legendary as you.
Yao: I don't want you to be like me. I want you to be unique. Take my example and make the best our of it.
You have my dimples, my flame, and my secrets. So you're all set.
Rusong: you're right A-Die. I hope I make you proud.
Yao: you always do.
Rusong: but speaking of harem, how's yours going?
Yao: surprisingly they're behaving themselves.
Rusong: that won't be for long.
Yao: I know right.
Rusong: but what would you do when I become Huangdi?
Yao: retirement, dear. I'll finally get to relax. And wait for my grandchildren.
Rusong: *blush* A-Die?!!! What?!
Yao: isn't it obvious, A-Song. The Meng line can't end with you. And I want the joys of having grandchildren.
You know what they say, grandbabies keep you young. You want me to age?
Rusong: *laughing* A-Die you're a hulijing and cultivator. You won't age like how mortals do.
Yao: *glares sternly in a playful way*
Rusong: ok ok, Diedie. You'll get your grandchildren. But after I settle down as emperor.
Yao: excellent. That's my son.
Yao: *shows him his fancy golden robes on display* this is what I wore for mine. Still looks like I wore it yesterday.
Rusong: that's ethereal.
Yao: you should start sketching out your design. A crew of designers did the same for me.
However I've been planning these two important events for a long while now.
Rusong: ah, knowing you. And sure, I'll get some sketches done.
Yao: right. That's only for your enthronement garments, dear.
Our skilled designers are already working on yours and Aqing's wedding outfit.
Rusong: must be so magnificent already
Yao: they'll be done by tomorrow actually.
Rusong: how come?!
Yao; dear, they were working on them for years now.
The garments will contain gold thread, ke si silk, real diamonds and pearls.
Rusong: aw how fancy, A-Die.
Yao: anything for you.
Tomorrow will be your fitting.
Rusong: mn. It's a coincidence that they finished on time.
Or were you waiting for them?! I know your plans always fall nto place.
Yao: haha. Not this time A-Song.
It's a mere coincidence.
And the people love you. So they spead up the process.
Rusong: oh I see.
One thing, A-Die.
I keep seeing a trend you know. With quote on quote team dimple.
Yao: oh really?! Like?
Rusong: you have your team dimple who are your devoted simps, then I have a trio who are the same. Does every Meng emperor have one?!
Yao: correct. Your great grandfather had a team dimple trio too. Made up of Huaiyan, you have met him before, Teng Xiao, another cloud Knight and YueYu.
Teng Xiao was a legendary warrior, but now he's on one of the flagships enjoying his retirement.
And YueYu was the leader of our Verdant Knights. She's also in retirement. And yes she's a hulijing and the teacher of my personal Knight, Feixiao.
Rusong: interesting! I'd like to meet them some time.
Yao: soon you will.
You're a young future emperor, and it's your duty to meet these veterans.
But for now, you should spend some time with your fiance. I'll go write to Xiao xingchen, and make sure everything is in place.
Rusong: sure.
Yao: you two should take a caravan ride through the cities. Everyone must see how lovely you two look.
Their future is bright.
Rusong: that's a great idea.
Yao: i advise you two to wear yellow, and gold trim.
Rusong: of course.
Rusong: A-Die, how's your pregnant concubine though?
Yao: she's doing well.
I've assigned some maids to check up on her every hour.
I'll personally check on her later.
~~
Later on, as requested, the young couple got ready for their mini tour. Both draped in yellow and gold, A-qing cutely wrapped her arm around Rusong's arm, while she held an embroidered fan. She also dripped out in Meng jewels. Rusong also wore ancestral ornaments, to complete his beautiful look.
Rusong: *helps her into the caravan, then went in and sat next to her*
After that, they were off!
A-qing: *hides her blushing face with her fan* Rusong.
Rusong: you look really beautiful.
Well you always do.
A-qing: and you look smoking hot.
Rusong: *opens fan* oh do I?
Both: *sharing a laugh*
A-qing: so happy I can walk in heels now. But I have a secret.
Rusong: as expected.
I know you're a quick learner. But you don't need to force to do anything. *kisses hand*
But what's your secret?
A-qing: promise you won't tell?
Rusong: promise!
A-qing: I use Japanese heels instead of Chinese flowerpot heels.
I think I'll adapt to Xiuhuaxie wedges to my style.
Rusong: ohh that's so brilliant! You're quite the trendsetter.
The people are lucky to have you as their Taizifei.
A-qing: *looks out the window*
Rusong: and I'm lucky to have you as a fiance.
A-qing: Rusong, can you believe we're getting married soon! Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming, really.
Can you kiss me to make sure I'm not.
Rusong: *kisses her deeply on the lips*
A-qing: *flushed*
Nah, it's not a dream. *hugs his arm*
Rusong: can't wait to marry you.
A-qing: same. You're absolutely perfect, and super sexy.
Rusong: aw, A-qing.
*looks out the window, to look all charming for his people*
A-qing: they're also crazy for you, Taizi.
Rusong: I know right, Taizifei.
Aqing: Rusong, sometimes I feel like the power is going to my head.
Everyone used to spit in me, you know.
And now I feel like I can easily get rid of them!
Rusong: ahahaha no, that's not a power rush, dear. You're in a better place, and people had learned to respect you now.
You don't have to fend for yourself anymore, because you're with me. I'll give you everything you need.
A-qing: people used to harass me, and sometimes assault me, while on the streets.
I won't hesitate to punish them.
Rusong: exactly!
Don't be afraid to be a little ruthless at times.
And I'm always here to back you up.
A-qing: I know I have your support!
But, surprising that Taizi Dianxia himself fell in love with a lowly~~
Rusong: *covers her mouth* A-qing.
Don't ever call yourself lowly!! You're my heart, dear.
A-qing: aww.
But how did you fall in love with me.
We're from two different social classes.
Rusong: I love how adorable you are.
Like a tanghulu. Encased with hard candy but sweet and soft in the middle.
A-qing: Rusong. That's beautiful!
But I really hope non of our people face the same thing I faced while on the streets.
Rusong: never.
And do you see what I love about you.
Your experiences teach you how to be humble and considerate of others. You can relate with their struggles.
A-qing: yes! But what if someone brings up my background.
Rusong: I'll lingchi them, and make them kowtow before you.
A-qing: ahhhh, I love this side of you.
Rusong: you're my future empress. So everyone should fear you.
(( In a sense Rusong is like Qin Su, who never questioned A-yao's background~ which is adorable. Also he's like Ayao who kills whoever insult Meng Shi.))
Aqing: you're so sweet.
Rusong: come. Let's go meet some people. Care for some tea later? I'll take you to my fav tea place. They have the hottest gossip.
Aqing: we totally should! But would they stop gossiping when they see Taizi Dianxia walking in?
Rusong: I can just tell them to continue. Plus the owner is accustomed to seeing me or Jingyi coming in.
Sometimes Xiaobao, but due to his allergy to cheap tea, he gets a little skeptical some time.
Aqing: oh right then. I just know know you're celebrity.
Rusong: haha. I'm a celebrity?
Aqing: mhm.
Rusong: then what that makes you?
Aqing: the fiance of a celebrity.
Rusong: fits.
Aqing: so we're gonna meet people?
Should I worry about you being kidnapped?
Someone as hot as you shouldn't be out.
Rusong: *laughing* A-qing, I do have crazy admirers but I have security too. They won't dare, even if they want to.
Aqing: I will lock you up when you become Huangdi. Those dimples are only mine.
Rusong: you can't capture an emperor.
Aqing: if the emperor doesn't want to be captured, then he has to stop being so sexy and vulnerable.
Rusong: so I'm vulnerable?
Aqing: very much. And sexy.
Rusong: I hear you.
Aqing: so what do they gossip about?
Rusong: A-die's concubines, Jianghu politics. And team d most of the time.
Aqing: as expected.
Rusong: Jianghu politics should be taken with a grain of salt, cuz they're all hulijings who still can't grasp how the cultivation world works. Also they act entitled at times you know.
Aqing: ohh.
Rusong: sometimes they say, why don't the cultivators wear court offical clothing when meeting Huangdi, or adapt to hulijing norms. But in reality we can't just do that.
Cultivators should represent their clans and represent their own norm. Once it doesn't pose a threat to the fox spirits, of course.
Aqing: i get it. It's so interesting from a fox spirit standpoint. And I know Huangdi won't force anything down their throat.
Rusong: right. Once everyone is happy, then the empire is happy.
Aqing: hmmm.
You know you really are sexy.
Rusong: *nods playfully* simp.
Both: *exiting their caravan*
Then they were greeted by passersby, whereas some gossiped amongst themselves.
"Taizi is so hot"
"I still want Taizi to marry me!"
"Aw so this is Taizifei. I haven't seen her before."
"Yea I saw her already! Isn't she adorable
"Ahhh, Taizi's dimples! Taizifei is so lucky!"
X: Rusong Dianxia.
Rusong: oh hey, nice to meet you.
X: you two are a very auspicious couple! And super cute too!
Could you tell me how you two met?
I'm writing a novel about you.
Rusong: ah a novel. Didn't know I was this popular. *chuckles*
Taizifei, you start.
Aqing: I came to Jingjing, to meet xue yang. But while traveling through the streets I felt a little hungry, and sort of stole from a vendor.
Luckily I ran away, with a steam bun in my mouth! Like what am I supposed to do? I didn't have money.
X: oh how mischievous!
I wonder how's that vendor doing now.
If I were them, and was robbed by the future empress, I would simply pass away.
Aqing: pfft. I'm not that special. Stawp.
Rusong: then she bumped into me, and started giggling.
Aqing: Rusong Dianxia, when have I giggled?!
Rusong: oh oh you didn't.
You just turned red.
Like a tomato.
X: aww. That's the cutest thing ever!!!!
Rusong: she completely fell for me after that. And I became her rich gege.
Gave her little gifts and a staff. Xue yang is like her big bro, so she'll get some team dimple treatment.
Gradually we fell for each other.
Aqing: mhm. And I don't have to be needy of anything again.
My staff don't let me lift a finger.
X: as they should, Taizifei.
The diva life must be tiring, huh?
Aqing: not at all.
X: Dianxia, can you describe her in one word?
Rusong: Beautiful.
She has a beautiful soul, and I'll tell her that everyday.
Aqing: aw, Dianxia.
X: Taizifei, how about you describe Dianxia.
Aqing: magnificent.
You know. Because he's perfect for me in every way.
X: I hope you two stay together. And you know. Make babies.
Aqing: *covers her blushing face* ahh!
Rusong: *chuckles* oh dear.
X: sorry Dianxia. I'm just a little crazy sometimes.
Rusong: no need to apologize. A-Die told me the same thing this morning.
X: you see! The emperor wants grandchildren.
Rusong: yes yes he does.
He says that taking care of grandchildren will make him feel young.
X: *laughing* ahahahaha. Huangdi is so cute and hilarious!
Rusong: don't know why is he like that.
Anyways, it's a pleasure talking to you.
Aqing: Hope you get to write your novel.
X: I will. You two are really interesting.
~
~
After meeting with several people, they headed to the teahouse. Everyone kowtowed and glared in admiration when they saw their Taizi and Taizifei come in~ as expected. Rusong and Aqing are in fact celebrities to them.
Rusong: go back to doing what you're doing. No need to be all formal
Aqing: ignore us. We're just passing through.
Then the Innkeeper greeted him.
Laoban: greetings Taizi.
Looks like your highnesses need a private area.
Rusong: that would be lovely, but it's not necessarily.
We're here for the drama.
Laoban: oh yes. I know you're quite fond of our satire.
Rusong: I do!
Aqing: and don't worry. We won't tell anyone.
Laoban: thanks for assuring me.
Please, have a seat. And we'll serve tea shortly.
Rusong: thank you.
Laoban: shoot. Hoe can I forget. Your brother, San Dianxia is here too.
Rusong: really?!
Xiaobao: Song gege! Song gege!! *waving his fan in the air* omg are you in a date with Saozi?!! Awwww.
Rusong: *cough* yea sort of. We're here for the drama.
Aqing: I consider everything a date.
Rusong: agreed. But A-Die literally sent us on a tour.
Xiaobao: that's lovely. Everyone got to see how adorable you two are together! Make them jealous!
Song gege I will have my back turned, so you can have some privacy.
Rusong: *laughs* thank you.
Aqing: but you're accustomed to seeing me cuddle with Rusong.
Xiaobao: ah true true.
Rusong: A-Bao, I thought you wouldn't be here because you're particular with your tea choices.
Xiaobao: yea I am. But I'm here for the drama.
Rusong: can relate.
~~~
Storyteller: People are beginning to draw Meng Gongye Luo Binghe, and writing various fanfics.
Do you think team d would be jealous?
Of course they will! They want to be the most popular!
No. Meng Gongye isn't a concubine!
But it's how Huangdi accepted him after he challenged him.
Storyteller: guys, don't forget how our Huangdi thinks.
Goddess Meng had made Tianlang Jun a concubine. So Meng Gongye is his step brother.
If he haven't accepted him as a step brother, Meng Gongye may become a rival.
Yea! Huangdi is protecting us in a sense.
See how he ordered Gongye to stop his terror, and he obeyed!
Everyone should be underneath Huangdi's thumb.
Huangdi also impressed by skill.
I heard that Huangdi shared some similarities with him.
I heard that the empress stole Gongye's concubine.
Storyteller: as she should.
Sha guifei had harassed her sisters.
Anyways Meng Gongye and his concubines aren't allowed to be around them. Only if it's formal.
Meng Gongye has a harem of hulijings now.
And an assistant who resembles Lord Shen.
Huangdi is so brilliant.
J know right.
Why didn't he just link with Shen Yuan? He sort of resembles Lord Shen.
Shen Yuan is busy studying History.
As he's now a journalist and Huangdi's pr. He believes that History will help him understand the society and our way of thinking.
Very intelligent. And he's a hulijing too!
Shen Yuan has no time for love I guess.
What if he's afraid of Meng Gongye.
So should we start shipping Bingyuan?
I guess so.
.
I've told my two sons to join the Moling Su sect so that he can impress Emperor meng and Su Xiandu.
Ah that's good, Huangdi definitely would.
Su Xiandu is my favorite clan leader!
Oh same here!
He's so headstrong, and very close to Huangdi.
The clan leader concubines are so jealous of him, team d, Zewu and Lord Shen.
I don't think the cultivators are not pushing themselves enough in serving the emperor.
Like where's the worship?
Right. Don't they know that Huangdi can strip them of the authority?
What do you think, Taizifei, Taizi and San Dianxia?
Trio: *startled*
Xiaobao: you guys are right. Lord Shen told me that Nie Zongzhu has suppressed feelings for him.
Rusong: they should totally worship him some more, and stop quarreling.
Huangdi Diedie don't force them, because he expects them to do it.
Aqing: uh....They're all simps for Huangdi.
And they're bad at being concubines, when it comes to confessing and obeying without bickering.
Rusong: that's how a harem is supposed to be. But it shouldn't hinder work and devotion.
Shi Qingxuan: did Xuan Huangdi get you pregnant yet?
Shi Wudu: what?!
Shi Qingxuan: what?!
Shi Wudu: mischievous!
Drink up.
Shi Qingxuan: answer my question first. Are you planning to get pregnant?
Shi Wudu: well. I don't know. *blush*
Shi Qingxuan: I got pregnant for the emperor before you. Now you got to pamper me more!
Shi Wudu: oh isn't that so.
Shi Qingxuan: that's the rules
Zixuan: *enters* haha what are you guys talking about.
Ayao sent me to check up on you. He's in an important meeting.
Shi Qingxuan: Huangdi, I was just telling my brother how I'm carrying the emperor's child and all that. Heehee.
Zixuan: aww. Well it really is an honour to carry the emperor's child.
Shi Qingxuan: yea and I think you two should do the same!
Zixuan: *laughing*
Shi Wudu: *turns red* Qingxuan!
Shi Qingxuan: but thats the whole point of being a concubine.
You gotta look cute for Huangdi.
Zixuan: are you suggesting that he woos me?
Shi Qingxuan: yep.
Shi Wudu: there's no pressure, Huangdi. Shi Qingxuan is just playful.
Zixuan: no no. I love the idea! And you're already very handsome.
Shi Qingxuan: yayy!! Shi ge, I assure you that you'll get the Princess treatment too. *grins*
Shi Wudu: lol I hear you, meimei.
Zixuan: he definitely would.
And I can one up A-yao.
Shi Qingxuan: exactly!
Shi ge. What if you got pregnant, and our children grow up together like Rusong and Ling Dianxia.
Shi Wudu: aw, but that's adorable. Come to think of it.
But stop encouraging me.
Zixuan: you shouldn't be shy.
Shi Wudu: I don't think I can get pregnant.
Zixuan: of course you can! If you try hard enough.
Mpreg is possible.
Look, I'll see if Lord Shen has some kind of potion or herb to get you pregnant.
Shi Wudu: Qingxuan. What have you done?
Now it will be Huangdi's goal to impregnate me.
Zixuan: you're a concubine, dear.
Shi Qingxuan: mhm.
Xuan Huangdi, can you order some tangy shrimp dumplings for me??
Zixuan: awww. Of course! Jintang (his assistant)
Jintang: I'll be right back, Huangdi.
Shi Qingxuan: sorry for bothering you, Xuan Huangdi. I'm practicing not to ask Shi ge for stuff when he's pregnant.
Zixuan: *cracking up* oh dear!
~~~
On the other side, Binghe finally met up a stale drunk Sha Hualing~ who was covered in glitter.
Sha Hualing: *hiccup* Binghe! *hiccup*
Binghe: where the hell were you?!
Sha Hualing: no no Binghe. The question is!
Have I become queen yet?
Binghe: no. But what did Saozi do to you?!
Sha Hualing: I was arrested, then I was hired as a dancer.
Now she feeds me expensive wine and gifts me stuff she doesn't want anymore.
Binghe: so you're collecting her junk?
Sha Hualing: *hiccup* her junk is worth a million dollars, mind you!
(Qin Su would just give her clothes at she grew out of, dropped out of fashion or were torn. And some jewels that she had maybe bought on a trip and couldn't be repaired. Or just jewels that collected dust, which don't hold anything sentimental.
Despite its condition, one could still recycle or sell it to a museum (as Qin Su is an empress) Nope, we won't find Qin Huanghou's skirt in a Walmart, sorry 🤣.
(She would often gift her maids those tokens, but now she has Sha Hualing )
Binghe: if you want to know, I've earned Huangdi's trust in controlling those provinces.
Sha Hualing: awww congrats bae.
*hiccup*
Binghe: thank you.
And the two Shizuns said I was hot, so.
Sha Hualing: heyyyy that's amazing! I'm happy for you!
So what are you up to now?
Binghe: gonna visit xue yang's fierce corpse training ground, behind Jing Manor.
Sha Hualing: hehehehe let's go together!
Binghe: I thought you have to run back to Saozi? Look she's coming our way.
Sha Hualing: nah. She's with her son.
Rusong: A-niang, I'm going to meet Ling gege at Jinlintai. Do you need anything done before I leave?
Qin Su: not at all, A-Song. Have fun.
Now tell me if I'm right.
You two are up to something.
Rusong: *laughing* haha, what could we possibly be up to.
Were sect leaders too.
Qin Su: you're sounding a lot like your A-die.
Spill.
Rusong: Ling gege and I are going to spend time with our male concubines.
He was suggesting Laoling, but I told him my grandparents are there and would spy on us.
Qin Su: *playfully slaps his arm* quite mischievous!
And you're running from your grandparents too!
Rusong: noo. We just needed our privacy.
Qin Su: *cracking up* mn I understand. A 500 room Mansion in Laoling has no privacy at all.
Rusong: haha exactly.
Qin Su: have fun.
Rusong: I will!
Binghe: hi Saozi.
Qin Su: Luo Binghe, how are you?
Binghe: amazing as always..
Sha Hualing: hey hottie.
Qin Su: Sha Hualing.
How's your Hangover?
Sha Hualing: recovering *hiccup* gonna do some demonic cultivation later so I may not be able to dance for you.
Qin Su: it's fine. Take a day off.
But just know that I decide whether you work for me or not on that day.
Sha Hualing: got it, hottie. I understand.
Binghe: *rolls his eyes at Hualing*

Lanling 📍
Ouyang Zizhen: * kneels and kisses Rusong's hand* Dianxia I'm so happy to be on a date with you.
Rusong: who else would you date, dear?
Ouyang Zizhen: you're soo right.
Rusong: care to kiss me again?
Ouyang Zizhen: I'll give you thousands, Dianxia.
Rusong: lovely.
Ouyang Zizhen: congrats on your engagement, Dianxia!
And I'm glad I'm still getting attention.
Rusong: of course, my dear concubine. *lifts chin*
Sizhui: Jinling, congrats on your engagement too.
To Luo Yuan.
Jinling: thanks dear. Unfortunately it git postponed for a while.
Mianmian Yima started getting these weird migraines these days.
Sizhui: how unfortunate.
Rusong: hope she gets well soon, gege.
Ouyang Zizhen: Dianxia, Dianxia. I wrote a poem for you.
Rusong: aww you did? Fortunately, I bought you a gift. Recite your poem and I'll give it to you.
Ouyang Zizhen: deal!
Jinling: so sappy, Zizhen. Do better.
Ouyang Zizhen: can you stop being a critic?! And i haven't even started.
Jinling: but I know it would be sappy.
Rusong: Ling gege, I think it's really sweet. And Zizhen is always a great writer.
Jinling: alright then.
Sizhui, why haven't you written me anything? Don't you love me?
Sizhui: of course I do, Jinling.
I haven't tried to write before. Plus I don't think I'm good at it like Zizhen.
Jinling: aw come on. Try for me.
Sizhui: wouldn't it be sappy?
Jinling: promise. I won't laugh.
Ouyang Zizhen: is this some sort of favoritism?
Jinling: not at all. My cousin Rusong just deserves the best
Ouyang Zizhen: and so he shall have! The best of the best!
Ehem *recites* "graceful as a pine, my love for someone so refined. Can't be defined. Taizi is so gorgeous, so magnificent. And I'm so delighted he's mine"
Rusong: awww!
Sizhui: that's adorable!
Jinling: could do better, Zizhen.
Rusong: aw don't go hard on him.
Ouyang Zizhen: Jinling is just hard to please.
Rusong: Zizhen, I love your poem.
*gives him a box* here's your gift!
Ouyang Zizhen: aw, Dianxia. *opens it to see a crystal chrysanthemums shaped pendent*
Ouyang Zizhen: ohh waaawww!!!
And the Chrysanthemum?! That's your clan flower and part of your cipher.
Rusong: mhm. Means that you're mine.
Ouyang Zizhen: hehehehehe, I love it when you're possessive of me.
Jinling: and he does it in such a stoic way.
Rusong: but it's true.
And Zizhen, it's just a token from your Taizi.
Ouyang Zizhen: thank you, your Highness.
Rusong: no problem. *lifts chin*
Ouyang Zizhen: I really can't believe you're in love with me. You're literally divine! You're the heir to the Jianghu.
Rusong: you just happen to woo me.
Also you're good-looking.
Ouyang Zizhen: *blushing* I think I'm going crazy.
Jinling: A-Song is a Meng. Obviously he would love clan leaders.
But I just happen to have a clan leader concubine too, because he's rubbing off on me.
Sizhui: Jinling. I'm done.
*recites* "you're like a golden orchid, graceful of all peacock spirits." That's all I can come up with. Sorry.
Jinling: I still love it. You're the best!
Sizhui: glad you do. *smile*
Jinling: it has been so long I haven't heard your guqin music.
Would you play something.
Sizhui: as you wish.
*makes his guqin appear, then began to play*
Jinling: A-Song. I'm planning to hire Jin chan as my personal assistant.
Rusong: *laughing* the bully?!
Jinling: yea. He must pay for bullying his clan leader and future emperor!
Rusong: you're right for that!
Now he'll learn some respect.
Jinling: mhm.
~~~
On the other hand, at Meng Shi's palace residence ~
Tianlang Jun: Wen Ruohan, it's so nice to meet you. Now where's A-Shi.
Wen Ruohan: you think she would hang around and wait for you?!
A-Shi is listening to her devotees. She's a goddess if you don't know.
Tianlang Jun: *gasps sarcastically* I didn't know that!!
Wen Ruohan: ugh. Stop being so insufferable.
Tianlang Jun: I bought something for her.
Wen Ruohan: it's ugly and she'll hate it.
Tianlang Jun: and who are you to judge?
....... Wen Ruohan: Tianlang Jun, tell me. Are we old?
Tianlang Jun: I believe I'm more on the young side. But yea you are old.
Wen Ruohan: I plan on doing a face lift, for A-Shi.
Tianlang Jun: *laughing* WHAT?!
Wen Ruohan: just a little face lift.
With cultivation of course.
Tianlang Jun: I don't need such a thing though.
Wen Ruohan: you will soon. Trust me
Tianlang Jun: Zhuzhi Lang, tell explain to him why I wouldn't need a face lift.
Zuzhi lang: Shushu, you're the fountain of youth. I don't think you can get old.
And remember when I dyed your~~
Tianlang Jun: that's enough!
Wen Ruohan: my goodness, who's the weasel.
I want a minion to obeys me too!
Tianlang Jun: he's my nephew and intern.
Half divine snake demon.
Wen Ruohan: I see.
Sisi: *enters* what are you two talking about?
Anyways Huanghou jiejie is coming in a bit.
Tianlang: Wen Ruohan and his stupid face lift.
Wen Ruohan: shut up! Don't tell her!
Sisi: *concerned* is this some sort of midlife crisis?
Tianlang Jun: I believe so.
Wen Ruohan: but do I need one? Meimei?
Sisi: uh??? Maybe......maybe not. The decision is yours.
Tianlang Jun: but how did you stay youthful? Aren't you a mortal?
Sisi: yea I'm a mortal, but I've practiced cultivation. And then when I began to serve Meng jiejie, I became immortal amd youthful.
She also made me immune to all illnesses.
Meng Shi: I'm here guys, finally.
*Stretched out her hand*
Sisi: jiejie! *kisses her hand*
Wrh and tlj: *does the same*
Tianlang Jun: taihou, how are you? Looking very very gorgeous!
I got you a gift.
Meng Shi: isn't that so? *smiles* I'm much flattered.
But you didn't need to get me anything.
Tianlang Jun: you deserve it, darling.
Wen Ruohan: I bought you a gift as well, A-Shi.
Meng Shi: aw. Ruoruo, you're too sweet.
You both are.
*takes a seat*
Tianlang Jun: *unboxes a chain, brooches, bracelets and earrings made up of large rubies, surrounded by diamonds.* just a little something something.
For the Goddess.
Meng Shi: waw. Such an exquisite piece.
Tianlang Jun: from my Jianghu, and personal collection.
Meng Shi: you should show me your collection some time.
You seem to be a man of refined tastes.
Tianlang Jun: of course I am.
And my collection belong to you already.
Wen Ruohan: A-Shi, I got you some diamond ornaments.
Meng Shi: aww! I love them so much! Thank you. They're beautiful.
Wen Ruohan: *kisses* anything for you.

Lady Windmaster Residence 📍.
Yao: how are you darling? *strokes hair*
Shi Qingxuan: great, Huangdi. Xuan Huangdi and Shi ge checked on me this morning.
Yao: excellent. *touches her stomach* hey baby.
Shi Qingxuan: baby Meng, your Huangdi Diedie came to check on you.
Huangdi, the physicians said that baby Meng will develop quickly as I'm divine and you're a hulijing.
Yao: aw that's great news.
Shi Qingxuan: I'm afraid that my child pops out of me and starts taking steps like The Buddha.
I'd be too overwhelmed.
Yao: aw dear, but isn't that auspicious? Anyways. Everything will be alright.
Shi Qingxuan: ok Huangdi.
But how's your health? You don't have morning sickness or anything.
Shi Qingxuan: no Huangdi. Surprisingly. But whenever I crave, my maids would get the stuff for me.
Last night I wanted watermelon and oyster sauce.
Yao: *chuckles* what?! Watermelon and oyster sauce?!
Shi Qingxuan: mhm. And I asked them to make it look like sushi. Or else I won't eat it.
Yao: that's really cute!
Shi Qingxuan: because I am cute Huangdi. And baby Meng would be the most adorable thing ever.
Yao: definitely. Shi Qingxuan.
You make me so happy.
Shi Qingxuan: I'm glad to hear that.
And it's just my service as a concubine.*trying not to freak out*
Huangdi, how would our baby's life be like?
Yao: very pampered and laid back.
They can be philanthropists, an imperial court member under Rusong, and many more. Anything they wish.
Shi Qingxuan: whatever they do. I want them to bring honour to the Mengs.
Yao: and so they shall.
They're my child, and will get all my love.
Shi Qingxuan: awww!
Huangdi, I convinced Shi ge to get pregnant for Xuan Huangdi, so that our children can grow up together.
Yao: oh dear. And how did Zixuan react?
Shi Qingxuan: he was completely up for it!! He even said that he's going to ask Shen Jiu for a tonic or something for male pregnancies.
Yao: *laughing* Zixuan is so crazy at times. Anyways I would have done the same.
Shi Qingxuan: ahahaha! Shi ge is so shy you know.
Like you have a hot emperor. Take the opportunity.
Plus Xuan Huangdi doesn't have a big harem like yours, so it's easy for him.
Yao: I guess he'll let go of his shyness eventually for Zish.
Shi Qingxuan: yea.
Yao: hilarious to see two shy people trying to flirt with each other.
Yao Huangdi sits, while his attendants brushed his fox tails amd gave him some special treatment (emperor™️)
Mo xuanyu: *traces Huangdi's vermillion dot*
Fuying: *filing Huangdi's nails*
Xue yang: Jiggylicious. How was your hot and spicy date?! I knew you were a top!
Yao: it's was great, yangyang.
You know I shouldn't forget about my concubines.
Mo xuanyu: Shi Qingxuan is sooo lucky!
And we're not upset with them because they're a part of team d.
Su she: yea, and they must have been so thrilled to *blush* sleep with you.
And so those gorgeous features up close.
Yao: definitely! Shi Qingxuan was freaking out.
Shen Jiu: *enters* greetings Huangdi. *kisses his dimple delicately*
Yao: hey Shen Jiu.
Shen Jiu: A-yao. Which concubine had the honour?
I hope it's not team d. *opens fan, then took a seat*
Mo xuanyu: unfortunately for you, it is team D!
Shi Qingxuan slept with the Yao gege last night.
Xue yang: and they had hot se-
Su she: shhh! Don't tell him about Huangdi's business!
Shen Jiu: since when was Shi Qingxuan part of team dimple.
I don't think they want to be a part of your little cult.
Yao: Well, Shen Qingqiu, I decided to spend time with them. And it was amazing.
Shen Jiu: of course it will be.
It's a dream to sleep with you. Remember that time whe we were alone, in Cang Qiong. Without even the smell of *cough* team *cough* team dimple!
Yao: ah yes. That was a beautiful date in a beautiful place.
Su she: what do you have with team dimple, man?!
Shen Jiu: *flutters fan* everything.
You bully the harem, you think you're better than me, and I just like disliking you for no valid reason.
I wasn't born with a resting bitch face for nothing.
Mo xuanyu: you're clearly jealous.
And I believe you should go back to Binghe and leave our Yao gege alone.
Shen Jiu: but Binghe has someone who looks like me.
I don't want to confuse him.
Yao: I think he's happy with Zhong Lu's performance though. Hence he doesn't need the real Shizun.
Shen Jiu: hehehehehehehe! Huangdi. You're in love with me, aren't you? Can you say that again for team dimple to hear.
Xue yang: Jiggy loves you politically.
You're a concubine, not his wife.
Shen Jiu: and what are you? An empress?
Yao: no yangyang, i love Shen Jiu on a personal level, like the rest.
But he just happens to be a Peak Lord of another Jianghu.
Xue yang: yea but you still love us more than him.
Shen Jiu: you can't dictate the emperor's feelings.
Yao: *shakes head*
Binghe: Yao ge! I'm back. *bows*
Shen Jiu: speak of the demon king.
Yao: A-He! Tell me!
Binghe: Ge, thr Yiling and Qishan people had decided to abide by my rules when they saw my infinite power.
You should have seen those scrawny cultivators running around and fighing my demon forces.
Yao: *laughing* oh I know how enjoyable it is! I used to look at the same when I was a Wen.
I knew that I will soon prove my prowess and enter the Jianghu's stage.
We shouldn't be taken for granted.
Binghe: that's right, that's right!
You: you've seen I have instilled it in the Mengs.
Binghe: definitely. And I know that Taizi will be just as strong.
Xue yang: yea, mini boss Dianxia is just like Jiggy.
Su she: quite a powerful young man.
Mo xuanyu: and the way everyone respects him already.
Yao: I taught A-Song everything I know.
And he's being taught by the ever so brilliant Shen Jiu.
Binghe: oh yes. Shizun is an amazing teacher.
He's a kingmaker, I may say. Turned emperor maker now?
Shen Jiu: thank you for the compliment.
Binghe: my pleasure. *blows kiss*
Shen Jiu: (ah. Being sexy is a curse)
Binghe: they mistook me for the Yiling laozu, Yao ge. Like I'm offended.
I'm much better than him.
Yao: but you two kind of share the same aesthetic and interests.
Xue yang: you two are demonic bottom boys.
Binghe: um, ok? And?
Mo xuanyu: I totally see it.
You and Wei wuxian should be chaotic together.
Yao: and ruin whose Jianghu? Yuyu, I have protected the Jianghu from trouble.
Su she: yea it's best they don't meet.
The yiling laozu is now a housewife.
What a joke.
Mo xuanyu: you're right, Yao gege. But they would be besties.
Xue yang: what if we marry them off. Hanguang Jun maybe needs a concubine!
Binghe: do I look like I'm interested in that soggy piece of tofu? And his demonic tradwife?
Su she: Lan Qiren will die instantly.
Yao: exactly.
Binghe: I met with Hua cheng and Sizhui.
And they're totally chill.
Didn't know that Sizhui was so polite.
Yao: yep. Sizhui is a very kind, intelligent and resourceful person.
I hope you didn't bully him or anything.
Binghe: never!
We just had some wine and spicy chicken, while we chat about the Jianghu.
Yao: how excellent. He loves spicy stuff.
He orders spicy chicken when he's here to visit A-Song.
I believe he got it from his quote on quote, demonic tradwife of a dad.
Binghe: *cracking up*
Yao: so are your servants treating you well?
You're the brother of an emperor you know.
Binghe: oh they're amazing, Yao ge.
Your hulijings are so charming, and beautiful as well.
Especially Shizun.
Shen Jiu: Shizun?!! I'm not a maid!
Binghe: no dear. Not you.
I'm talking about the other Shizun.
Zhong lu: hey.
Shen Jiu: *terrified*
Zhong lu: why do you look like me?
Shen Jiu: noo why do you look like me?!!
Zhong lu: I shall sue you for copyright. And probably steal the emperor away from you.
Shen Jiu: you wouldn't dare.
*opens fan*
Zhong lu: *does the same*
Shen Jiu: stop copying me!
Zhong lu: you're the one copying me.
And if I was supposedly copying you, then Meng Gongye will take you as his concubine instead.
Shen Jiu: *gasps* do you know who I am! How dare you threaten me!
Zhong lu: you're me.
Shen Jiu: I would like to agree with team dimple and say that I'm annoying at times. Dang.
Mo xuanyu: oh now you see.
Su she: moment of truth. Tell me about Chifeng Zun.
Shen Jiu always taunts him.
Sj and Zhonglu: he's just a walking sack of testosterone, ready to explode whenever Huangdi is around.
Shen Jiu: *covers his mouth* OMG!
HOW?????
Binghe: I want to sleep with the both of you by the way. If that's not clear.
Yao: Zhonglu is a hulijing, Shen Jiu.
Binghe: I really don't care what he is. He is Shizun for me.
Shen Jiu: Binghe, you seriously have a servant who looks and acts like me????
Binghe: it was Yao ge's gift.
Shen Jiu: and you accepted it?
Binghe: would I ever refuse?
Shizun. I still love you dearly , but I respect my Yao ge.
Hence I won't do anything to you.
I really can't be detached from you though, so this Shizun helps.
Shen Jiu: yea. You do you I guess.
Binghe: he's a perfect replica.
Makes me want you more.
Zhonglu: Binghe, that guy is a fake.
Binghe: oh yes I know that, honey!
Let's go somewhere. And I'll make you some soup. You're fond of my cooking.
Xue yang: I thought that Wei wuxuan was the tradwife?
Yao: within every cultivator, there's a potential tradwife.
Lan Xichen for example.
Su she: yea he's the king of tradwives.
Mo xuanyu: some say he taught Wei wuxian on how to one.
Yao: watch this.
Fuying. Inform Lan guifei to send some tea. I'm having a Hangover.
Fuying: yes Huangdi.
Yao: he'll be here within less than an hour.
25 minutes if he has a telepotation talisman.
Shen Jiu: does Lan lips have anything else to do?
Yao: I like him like this actually.
Shen Jiu: well if you do, your majesty.
Yao: Binghe. I'm having another banquet. To celebrate your victory.
Binghe: oh thank you Yao ge. I'll love that!
Now I gotta go cook for Shizun.
Xichen: A-yao. Huangdi. *walks in* I brought your favorite tea.
Yao: just what I needed, Huan.
Su she: where did you come from?
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege doesn't really want tea. So you could leave if you want.
Xichen: I believe that you shouldn't act bitter. It may give him a headache.
Mo xuanyu: how dare you!
Shen Jiu: *laughing* brilliant.

On the other hand, Shi Qingxuan woke up feeling bloated. And to top everything off, his hulijing staff attended to them and asked them "questions" 😏
Xan: Shi guifei, how are you feeling?
Baifeng: how was your night with Huangdi?
Shi Qingxuan: it was so so magnificent! You can't imagine! Huangdi is so charming!
Xan: oh yes he is! Huangdi is a well refined gentleman.
Shi Qingxuan: yes he is!
But I don't know why I'm feeling so bloated.
Xan: bloated? Would you like some tea or anything?
Shi Qingxuan: I don't think I can eat or drink anything, honestly.
Can someone light some incense. I'll just go back to sleep.
Baifeng: would you be able to go to Huangdi's banquet later?
Shi Qingxuan: I don't know. I think I may ask for a pardon.
Shi Qingxuan: maybe my cycle is coming. But I haven't had a cycle before!
Baifeng: what do you mean, you didn't have a cycle?
Shi Qingxuan: this is my woman form.
I'm both male and female. But I haven't really experienced a period.
Xan: your condition is rather confusing. Probably it is your cycle, or!
Shi Qingxuan: or?
Xan: Huangdi impregnated you.
Omg I would be soo elated if that's true!
Baifeng: being pregnant with the emperor's child is a great blessing and honour!
Shi Qingxuan: *squeals excitedly* ohh that's a dream, and could be possible.
Heehee! Huangdi was so hot, last night.
Xan: Dai Fu will give you a checkup to see if you're really carrying a baby Meng.
Shi Qingxuan: *blushing* Baifeng. Would Huangdi be happy?
Baifeng: of course he will dear. That's his baby, and you're his concubine.
Shi Qingxuan: and would Qin Huanghou mistreat baby Meng?
Baifeng: never.
She will be happy too.
Shi Qingxuan: but I know that taihou would adore me for making a baby.
Dai Fu: *giving them a checkup*
Congratulations, Shi guifei! Your body is prepping for a pregnancy. So your hormones and pulse had changed.
Shi Qingxuan: oh my God! Really??! *screams*
I'm pregnant!! I'm pregnant for Huangdi!!! I'm pregnant got Huangdi?!!
Dai Fu: hail the Meng imperial family!
Shi Guifei. Since that you're a God and Goddess, and Huangdi is the hulijing emperor and a Huxian, they baby may develop quickly.
Should I tell Huangdi now?
Shi Qingxuan: *giggling* go ahead!! Call everyone!
And someone please please please call my brother.
Xan: I will.
Don't worry.
Baifeng: awww, that's so cute. You two must be really close.
Shi Qingxuan: yea and I want to rub it in his face.
Shi Qingxuan: Xan meimei, I want baby Meng to be recognized as a Meng prince or princess and get recognized by their A-Die.
Xan: they will definitely be.
~
A few minutes later, Yao, Qin Su, Meng Shi and Shi Wudu arrived, to meet a dramatic Shi Qingxuan in bed.
Shi Qingxuan: Huangdi.
Yao: Shi Qingxuan, this the greatest gift you gave me! I love you, dear!! *kisses hand*
Shi Qingxuan: I hope baby Meng has your dimples.
Yao: for sure, they'll have my dimples. And your gorgeous smile.
Xiying, Fuying. Announce today as a holiday. Everyone should be celebrating and getting some wine!
They shouldn't toast to me but to baby Meng, who's on the way.
Xiying: excellent suggestion, Huangdi.
Fuying: your humble paiges will share the news!
Yao: Qingxuan, what do you want? I'll give you anything!
Shi Qingxuan: what can I ask for, Huangdi? I only want your love!
Yao: alright, here's what. I'll give you a winery moat in Lanling. I know you're fond of wine, so.
Consider this a gift! And yes, the moat is a Mansion.
There are majestic swans and a koi pond. It's beautiful.
Shi Qingxuan: would Baby Meng be able to inherit it??
Yao: of course! Who else would?
Qin Su: congratulations dear. You have performed your work as a concubine.
I'll give a lot of love to the baby Meng.
Plus they will look like my emperor.
Shi Qingxuan: thank you soo much, jiejie!
Qin Su: *takes off one of her hair pins* here you go, darling. From the empress.
Shi Qingxuan: thank you, Huanghou.
Meng Shi: A-Su, you're a sweetheart.
Shi guifei. *caresses her cheek* you're such a gift.
You know that's what I need. More grandchildren.
There's never too much.
You, A-Su and the other concubines make Yao'er's dynasty so vast! So powerful. Thank you dear.
Shi Qingxuan: taihou. You don't need to thank me. And it's because of Huangdi. He was so hot.
Meng Shi: My Yao'er is superior than everyone else. He never fails.
Baby, Ayao. *kisses his cheek* congratulations, baby.
Yao: thank you, A-niang!
Meng Shi: you make me so so proud.
Shi guifei, here you go. * gives her two sapphire bracelets*
Shi Qingxuan: oh taihou, this is so priceless! How can I?
Meng Shi: take it dear. We're all celebrating the good news! Of you don't do it for me, do it for my grandchild at least.
Shi Qingxuan: *blushing* thank you.
Meng Shi: such a pretty concubine.
And you're close to A-Su, as you should be. She's a darling. And she learnt everything about imperial life so quickly.
Shi Qingxuan: yea, we do everything together, when she's available.
She's my jiejie.
Meng Shi: I hope A-qing and Ning Yingying would share the same bond.
Qin Su: they already do.
~~~
Later that evening, Binghe's victory banquet was going on.
The Mengs, as well as other guests were enjoying several live performances and exotic cuisines. And this time there was a whole incense preparation ceremony going on.
Rusong: congrats, Bing shushu.
Binghe: thank you A-Song.
Rusong: you're a perfect addition in the Meng Family indeed.
Jingyi: scary Bing Shushu. I thought you were scary and stuff, but Sizhui said that you were so chill when you two met!
Binghe: I identify as both, actually.
Sizhui is pretty chill too.
Xiaobao: Bing Shushu. I'm Shizun's apprentice now. I aspire to be a scholar and imperial teacher.
Binghe: oh that's good, San Dianxia. Shizun is very very talented you know.
Xiaobao: yes he is. And I enjoy going to his classes.
Binghe: ahahaha you do.
Well I'm so happy to hear. But don't be too close to him, ok? San Dianxia.
Xiaobao: Shushu, he's my teacher.
Rusong: *laughing* rest assured. He won't steal your Shizun.
Yao: My distinguished guests, we're celebrating Luo Binghe's victory over two provinces I've assigned him to govern. This marks his first role as a member of the Meng Family.
To prevent his fierce approach from getting out of hand, I've successfully subdued his forces with the help of Xiandu.
Binghe, any words? Before I give them some other good news?
Binghe: Yea Yao ge.
It's an honour to be a Meng, and I must carry that honour!
I'm also grateful for the emperor accepting me as his step brother. Emperors are driven by truth and trust, so this means that Huangdi holds me in his highest regards.
So if anyone dares to challenge the Mengs, they'll have to go through me first!
And I'm not like any mere cultivator. I'm a demon King from another Jianghu entirely. I can be be brutal and merciless if I wish. You'll all accept it, and live with it!
You've been warned!!!.....
Mingjue: *offended*
Binghe: mustache, do you hear me??
Mingjue: loud and clear, Meng Gongye.
Binghe: Lan lips, what about you?
Xichen: I'm fine with everything. Once Huangdi is happy, then I'm happy.
Binghe: Good.
Shizun, am I sexy?
Shen Jiu: *chokes on wine* Binghe.
*sigh* Binghe, you're a bomb ready to go off if I don't give you any recognition. So yes. You're very sexy. For the sake of those cultivators you may behead when this is over.
Zhongli: yes you are, dear. *blows kiss*
Yao: my next good news.
There's a new Meng baby on the way. My concubine Shi Qingxuan is pregnant.
Guests: *clapping* Congratulations Huangdi!
Long live the Mengs!
Zixuan: awwwwww Ayao. *hugs* the cutest little thing.
I can't wait to just pamper your new baby potato.
Yao: you can start from now!
Zixuan: you're so right!
Huangdi we're so happy for you!!
Xichen: congrats!
Huaisang: congratulations San ge.
Yao: thank you!
Jiang Cheng: the Meng Family is always prosperous..
Long Live the Mengs!
Yao: please do party on their behalf!
Shi Qingxuan and the developing baby are in perfect health.
Yao: I'd like to add something else, as the best things come in threes.
My son Rusong Taizi Dianxia will be officially engaged to A-qing Taizi fei. Wedding planning will start within a week.
