Envoys from Nanli and Beiyan come to seek the hand in marriage of Princess Jingyue, the only princess of her rank, while the civil and military officials all lower their heads and pretend to be deaf and mute.
Only Yue Shaobao stands tall and steps forward, pointing at the assembled officials as he rebukes them: "Have you forgotten the ancestral decrees of Emperors Taizu and Taizong?
No reparations, no ceding territory, no marriage alliances. The emperor guards the gates of the realm, and the ruler dies for his state!"
The officials are all overcome with shame.
Little Yun, the fake eunuch standing before the empress, nods. As expected of the backbone of Great Wei.
At such an important moment, shouldn't I do a sign-in?
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received ten Blood-and-Qi Pills.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received the Ancestral Dragon Art.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received Grandmaster-level calligraphy skills.]
Yun Xiaoqi keeps a low profile in the Great Wei palace, signing in, spending time with the empress, teasing the empress dowager, and playing with the princess. Life couldn't be better!
Before he knows it, Yun Xiaoqi has quietly become an emperor of the Qianlong Continent, the likes of whom haven't appeared in ten thousand years.
