Empress Lu was a little displeased. She glanced at the emperor, but seeing that he looked as if nothing had happened, she had to hold back and did not dare to lose her temper.
The emperor sighed inwardly, knowing that he couldn't force his little disciple now.
Just now, from the moment this disciple walked into the hall, he seemed to be frightened by something and could not show any dignity in front of her.
He knew in his heart what it was.
The disciple has been extraordinary since he was young, and now he is even more imposing. Zhou Wuchang sometimes thinks that if the disciple wants this great empire, it will only take a wave of his hand, and he has no way to compete with him.
So he wanted the prince to marry Nuannuan as his princess consort so that the prince could sit firmly on the throne in the future.
After being emperor for so many years, Zhou Wuchang has come to see things in a more open-minded way. Although power is a good thing, immortality is the true way.
Therefore, he decided to hand over the throne to his son, and learn the way of cultivation from the Jiang family during his lifetime, so that he could roam freely in the world.
"Well, let's talk about this later. I asked you and your wife to come here not only because of the children, but I want to live in your hometown for a while."
Zhou Wuchang had learned from the magistrate of Qinchuan County that many people were flocking to Dongchen Village in Chuanhe Town. It was said that after living there for a long time, the elderly had good health and sharp eyes and ears, while the young had great strength, so he wanted to go and see for himself what was going on.
Ying Bao clasped her fists and said, "It is an honor for us to have your presence here. I will definitely prepare a good place for you to stay so that you can live comfortably."
Zhou Wuchang smiled and nodded.
Empress Lu was a little unhappy and said angrily, "Your Majesty, if you go to live in the countryside, what will I do? Will the concubines in the palace follow you?"
Zhou Wuchang said calmly, "You stay in the palace to manage the household affairs and comfort the concubines. I will come back naturally after I have recovered. Besides, Wuyang is already able to take charge of things on his own, and he has his teachers to assist him. I don't need to worry about anything."
"But..." Empress Lu looked at the emperor with resentment and said angrily, "Then I will go with you."
Zhou Wuchang frowned and said, "Are you serious? This palace cannot be left without a leader. Have you thought about it?"
Empress Lu was startled and immediately said, "I am worried about Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't want me to go with you, I won't go."
She regretted her hasty words. If His Majesty really took her to the countryside, he would have to choose a concubine to take charge, and she didn't want to lose the right to manage the harem because of this.
Zhou Wuchang saw that the queen's words were insincere and sighed inwardly.
The women in the palace said they loved the emperor, but it was all fake. Nothing was more important than power.
I am old now and no longer desire love. No matter how beautiful a woman is, after time, she will be just like that.
He turned around and said to his apprentice, "Yingbao, Wei Zhan, you guys go back first. I will go to Qinchuan County with you in August."
Ying Bao and Wei Zhan stood up and bowed to the two saints to say goodbye.
After leaving the imperial city gate, Wei Zhan took his wife to the market to buy things.
I bought a lot of cloth and grains, and then a lot of daily necessities such as salt, sugar, soybean paste, spices, etc.
I also bought a lot of vegetable and spice seeds, as well as various fruit and melon seeds.
"My wife, with these, we won't have to worry about living in other places in the future." Wei Zhan and his wife may not need mortal world food, but his parents and daughter do, so it won't be wrong to buy more.
Yingbao thought for a moment: "Then let's go dig some more herbs." The more species there are in the Divine Palace, the faster it should evolve. She might as well plant all the plants in the world into the Divine Palace.
“It’s too troublesome to dig them one by one. You can just shovel a piece of grass in.” Wei Zhan said cheerfully.
Yingbao thought about it and nodded: "Then let's go find an unowned wilderness."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
So, the two of them teleported thousands of miles away. Yingbao looked around and saw that there was no human being. She waved her hand and a large piece of land disappeared.
After Yingbao collected the grass and trees, he crushed a spirit stone and scattered it on the bare land.
Wei Zhan then used the Changchun Jue, and soon green weeds and saplings emerged on the bare land.
They grow gradually and stop growing when they are half a person's height.
Wei Zhan and his wife smiled at each other, then went to another place.
In less than two days, they traveled all over the country, crossed the ocean, and arrived at a strange land.
When many savages with curly yellow hair saw them, they grunted and threw their spears at them.
Wei Zhan waved away the spear and pointed his hand, and these people fell to the ground unable to move.
Yingbao looked around and found that there were villages and farmlands with strange plants.
"These savages are really strange, with yellow hair and blue eyes, just like ghosts." Wei Zhan looked at the timid yellow-haired savages and exclaimed, "They don't even wear pants. Hey, lady, don't look at them."
Yingbao walked into the farmland, harvested a piece of crops under the cannibalistic eyes of those people, and then threw down a few sacks of wheat and rice: "These are for you, let's exchange."
Although the yellow-haired savages did not understand what the black-haired woman said, they knew that the sacks should be their compensation, so they all rushed over and opened the sacks to check.
Unknown millet!
The savages were angry, cursing loudly and waving their fists in protest.
Yingbao sighed, took out an iron pot, grabbed a handful of rice and crushed the husks, then put the white rice into the pot, added water, covered the pot, and snapped her fingers, and a ball of flame burned under the pot.
A quarter of an hour later, a rich fragrance wafted around.
The yellow-haired savages all swallowed their saliva and looked at the iron pot with burning eyes.
One person shouted, "Witch! Are you a witch?"
Yingbao didn't understand what they were saying, but seeing that they had no ill intentions, she ignored them.
Soon the rice was cooked. Yingbao opened the lid of the pot, waved away the hot steam, pointed at the rice and said, "You can come over and have a taste."
The savages hesitated, but the leader stepped forward, grabbed a handful with his dirty hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
After taking a bite, his eyes lit up instantly, and he reached down with both hands to grab a handful of the still hot rice and put it into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, the others gathered around and devoured the entire pot of rice in no time.
The smallest one even picked up all the rice grains at the bottom of the pot and stuffed them into his mouth.
After eating the rice, these people looked at Ying Bao and Wei Zhan with smiles on their faces, chattering and making gestures.
Yingbao understood that they wanted her to harvest more crops and exchange them for rice and wheat.
Afterwards, she walked around the farmland, collected some crops she had never seen before and brought them to the divine palace, and also exchanged some household items with them.
When Wei Zhan saw the yellow-haired savage's house, he couldn't help but complain: "They actually live in a cave. Can people live in this house?"
I saw that Huangmao's home was basically semi-underground, covered with some branches and weeds. There was no kitchen at all. There were just three or two stones piled together with a clay pot on top, which was the place for cooking.
Of course, there are also houses built of stone, which are not only windy on all sides, but also bright on the top.
