After the ceremony, the festivities started! There were endless performances, from dance to music, and an unlimited supply of wine and food.
A-Qing: Rusong. *lovingly places her cup of wine near his lips*
Rusong: mmm. What is my darling drinking?
A-Qing: Rose and peach wine.
Rusong: How classy of Taizifei.
A-Qing: Let me taste yours!
Rusong: *feeds* here, dear. It's orchid and strawberry.
A-Qing: Waw!! Rusong, I need more things with strawberries!
Rusong: Aw. So be it. *lifts chin*
A-Qing: *kisses him*
Rusong: Enjoying your meal?
A-Qing: Of course! But it's a little different compared to Jing Manor and Pine Pavillion's food.
Is this what that gremlin xue yang's been getting?!
I'm so jealous.
Rusong: Yea, A-Qing. The delicacies and flavours are different. It's a regional taste.
And there's no need to be jealous of Xue yang.
A-Qing: Rusong, you and your do so well at hosting. But how do you talk so.....clean.
Rusong: *laughing* What do you mean?!
A-Qing: *imitating* Glad you can make it. I will escort you to your seats, and while I do, may I ask how's your clan going......and so and so.
Rusong: Haha! It's just a thing we do dear. We have to treat our guests with utmost hospitality. This time, Ling ge is thr host. But you know A-Die has to take a little spotlight.
A-Qing: Him, Yuemu and Nainai are just clean social butterflies.
Rusong: Mhm.
On the other hand, Gongyi Xiao and Taihua ran off into the hallway, away from all the opulent celebration.
Gongyi Xiao: Gongzhu.
Taihua: *smiles* Xiao!
Gongyi Xiao: I fear that your Diedie would behead me, so I got you this. *hands her a golden box with a bejeweled comb*
Taihua: Awwwwwwww! Xiao. It's really beautiful!! I thought you bought it because you love me.
Gongyi Xiao: Of course I do, Hua. But I don't think you'd love me if I were to be beheaded.
Taihua: *kisses him deeply, then he places the ornamental comb in her hair*
In addition, the two began to lock eyes with each other. Taihua was absolutely infatuated by him whule he cherished her with every fibre of his body.
Taihua: Shall we go, Jinfeng Zun. You have to toast with Song ge.
Gongyi Xiao: Mhm. *hugs* We'll toast with Taizi in a second.
Taihua: *blushing*
Gongyi Xiao: You're really beautiful.
Taihua: Aw. Xiao!
.
On the other side, Su Minshan and Meng Yao were walking and talking, while spectating various gentries.
Su she: Everything is going so well, huangdi. How do you like your Jianghu?
Yao: The Jianghu is a strong and progressive realm, standing with each other
I love it like that.
Su she: I'm happy to please you, Huangdi.
Yao: Shanshan, what about the smaller clans?
Su she: Ah, they're going well. I made sure they can stand on their feet. The idea of depending on a larger sect is getting outdated.
Yao: I agree. I think subordinate clans can still work, if there's a form of respect.
Su she: Yes.
Yao: And your little apprentice?
Su She: *looks at Ouyang Zizhen, who was toasting with Rusong and looking flirty while swiftly wiping away his nosebleed* Busy simping, Huangdi.
I promise he's a headstrong clan leader otherwise.
Yao: I already know that. And his flirty antics reminds me of his mentor.
Su she: *blushing* Huangdi.
Yao: He is already an amazing clan leader, and I hope you make him powerful.
Him in particular.
Su she: I definitely will. It's a pleasure.
Yao: *pats him on his head*
Pardon me, Shanshan. I see some fox spirits crowding up to see me.
They follow their emperor everywhere.
Su she: *Bows* Yes. Meet your adoring people. We'll talk later.
Yao: *opens fan and walks away*
Su she: So sweet towards his people.
Xue yang: *pops out from behind a pilar Shanshan! Let's go! *grabs his hand*
Mo Xuanyu: Yangyang, you were interrupting him. He was looking at Yao gege's ass. Heehee.
Su she: *blushing* Noo.
Huangdi has a small stature, so I accidentally looked at his butt.
Mo Xuanyu: Excuses excuses.
Xue yang: Lan Qiren, your ex student, Su Xiandu, wants to ask you something.
Su she: *glares at Lan Qiren in disgust*
Lan Qiren: Su Xiandu. Who made you Su Xiandu!
Su she: The emperor, you old fart.
Mo Xuanyu: Lan Qiren, you have to respect Shanshan, or else we will arrest you and the Lan lips the second.
Lan Qiren: Team dimple? Arrest me?
Xue yang: We have the authority to.
Jingyi: Team d, why are you threatening shufu?! *bow* Shufu.
Mo Xuanyu: He was being rude to Shanshan, A-Yi.
Lan Qiren: I know that Er Dianxia will take my side.
Jingyi: Yea! I'll protect you from Team dimple.
Xue yang: But can er Dianxia protect the truth?
Rusong: *makes his fox ears appear, to listen to the conversation* I sense drama.
A-Qing: Ooo. Can't wait to see it escalate.
Rusong: *walks over to them*
Lan Qiren: Will you excuse me.
Xue yang: Why were you looking at Wen Ruohan like that? Everyone saw it.
Former Sect leader Ouyang, the new sect leader, Qin Su, Jiggy. Jiang cheng, Qin Cangye.
Rusong: Wen Ruohan himself.
Mo Xuanyu: Everyone in attendance.
Su she: Lan lips, Xuan Huangdi. Meng Taihou.
Lan Qiren: You must be dreaming, team dimple. I wasn't looking at that war criminal.
Mo xuanyu: But Taizi saw too!
Rusong: Confirmed.
Lan Qiren's expression changed to a nervous one.
Lan Qiren: Taizi and the Mengs saw. I can explain.
Jingyi: Wow. Shufu. Are you afraid of Rusong? As you should be.
Lan Qiren: I respect him. This young man will have us on our knees one day.
He's also Team Dimple's second boss.
Jingyi: Rusong, I want some of your aura.
Rusong: *laughs* A-Yi, I don't give it away like that.
Team dimple, can you spill the tea.
Mo xuanyu: Lan Qiren was stalking Ruoruo.
Su she: I think he's still in love with him!
Xue yang: Oh the scandal!
Don't you know how harmful it is to look at the concubine of Meng Taihou.
That's offensive.
Mo xuanyu: You're not allowed to do that. That's why we throw blinding powder at people who look at us with love.
Su she: We're off limits, so we're saving them from being beheaded.
A-Qing: People have crushes on team dimple? Huh?
Mo xuanyu: Of course they do.
But I think they love Yangyang more.
A-Qing: I thought the hulijings had taste?
Xue yang: You're calling me ugly. You little gremlin.
A-Qing: You dont look like Rusong.
Mo xuanyu: Awww, she said the thing! I say the same when I see ugly people! But it's with Yao gege.
Xue yang: Yuyu!
Lan Qiren: I'll take your leave, Taizi.
Rusong: Stay there.
Lan Qiren: *sigh* Yes, Taizi.
Rusong: You're a lot like Hanguang Jun. But hiding your feelings doesn't help with anything.
Do you want to talk to Wen Ruohan.
You like him so much?
Jingyi: Were you guys a fling?
Everyone knows that Lans date rebels and fall in love once.
Come on. Tell us. Or else Rusong will ask Qin Waizufu and Wen Yeye.
Lan Qiren: Jingyi. I thought you were on my side!
Jingyi: Nah, I'm on the side of drama, Shufu. Sorry.
Lan Qiren: It's non of your business.
Xue yang: It is, if I make it my business.
Rusong: Team d, let's just give up then. I truly thought that Lan Qianbei was stronger than that.
Mo Xuanyu: You're afraid of Ruohan!
Su she: Obviously he is.
Rusong: Putting your affairs aside, I think you should talk to Wen Ruohan
it's cultivation etiquette to greet your peers and maintain healthy relationships.
Shen Jiu: *passing by* I'm so so sorry, gentries. Jiang Zongzhu is a row behind you.
Su she: *disgusted* Why do you want to see Jiang cheng for?
Shen Jiu: To toast with him? This is a peace event, Shanshan.
He has been through shit like the rest
of you.
Lan Qiren: Taizi, you have a point.
I dont want to look like a weak little weasel in front of him.
Rusong: That's the spirit!
Shen Jiu: *looks over his fan* In front of who?
Rusong: Wen Ruohan.
Shen Jiu: Woooooowwww. Do you want to sleep with him or something?
You have to join Taihou's Harem for that. Unfortunately, you're definitely not Taihou's type.
She likes demonic cultivators, like your nephew.
Are you sure that Wei Wuxian isn't Yao Huangdi's long lost brother?
Lan Qiren: Ugh no! I don't want to sleep with him! Shut up!
Wei Wuxian and Yao Huangdi would send me mad if they were brothers.
Xue yang: They already stole your nephews away already, so what's your point?
Rusong: This is getting so steamy!
Would you excuse me. I have to toast with Gongyi Xiao and Wen Yuan.
A-Qing is my eyes and ears.
Lan Qianbei, just talk to him, ok. Or else it will reach the emperor. But then I think thatthe emperor already knows. Anyway, byee. *opens fan and walked off*
Su she: Bye Dianxia. Lan Qiren, you must obey Dianxia.
A-Qing: Correct. And you should tell me too, as I'm married to Dianxia.
*mischievous*
Lan Qiren: I agreed already.
~
Wen Ruohan, however, was chatting with Qin Cangye and Former sect leader Ouyang. Though neutral, natural and fiery, he still had a level of hate and hated speaking to them. It was like talking to snobbish relatives who show off their occupation and what their children are doing.
Qin Cangye: Well it's good to come face to face with you after fighting with everyone. I can't believe it has been decades.
Wen Ruohan: Yea
Qin Cangye: Do you still get flashbacks?
Wen Ruohan: I only remember the incompetence of my sons, then I punched the air!
FSL Ouyang: Well it happened for the best.
Qin Cangye: Certainly! The Jianghu was filled with chaos.
FSL Ouyang: Thanks to you and your incompetent sons.
Wen Ruohan: *grunts in dissatisfaction*
I despise you people.
Qin Cangye: Shall we change the topic then?
Wen Ruohan: Yea let's talk about you being a cannon fodder.
Qin Cangye: And what about you being bloodthirsty tyrant?!
Wen Ruohan: I will beat your ass!
Qin Cangye: You wouldn't even dare! My daughter is the empress.
Fsl Ouyang: Retirement! Let's talk about retirement!
Well I do gardening and fishing. I have a laid back, stress free life now. And the sect is getting stronger! My son has gotten imperial backing. At first, I used to argue with him for fliritng with Taizi Dianxia amd being inappropriate. But it worked!
Wen Ruohan: Other than being resourceful, the Mengs look for adoration and loyalty. Someone to make them laugh.
Former sect leader Ouyang: Ahh.
Wen Ruohan: I wallow away in my mansion when I'm not occupied with my dear Taihou.
Qin Cangye: I see.
Wen Ruohan: You know, I got into baking and cooking these days.
But I do it only when I'm bored.
Care to sample my art!
Fsl ouyang: *trembles* Uh......oh god.....what to say?
Wen Ruohan: "Yes Wen Taifei" Would be ideal.
Qin Cangye: Sorry, Former sect leader. I can't be poisoned yet. Yea, I wish to see my grandson become the emperor.
Wen Ruohan: You're so rude! How dare you criticize my culinary work!
Qin Cangye: I know i would find an eye in there.
But since Former sect leader Ouyang asked about retirement, let me give you my account.
I'm living comfortably. And it's such a great era for Laoling Qin!
I went on a one month vacation with Former madam Qin. And as you know, it was spicy. I never really get to do much with her as a sect leader.
Yes, we're old, but we still got. Then former Madam Qin uses hair dye. Don't tell her i said that.
Everything's good. My grandson is the sect leader and Taizi, my daughter is married to the most powerful man in the world, and I just have riches to fall back on.
FSL Ouyang: That's good! I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. I don't really like the wealthy life.
You know, my son was supposed to listen to us, but he thinks we're just going to talk about old people problems. Like back pain and stuff.
Qin Cangye: We're all cultivators! What's his problem? *laughing*
Wen Ruohan: So, what do you think about our grandson-in-law's wife? I didn't get your account.
Qin Cangye: She's lovely and makes A-Song happy. But she isn't a cultivator.
That's one thing I can't fathom. I prefer Ning Yingying. Ning Yingying is a talented cultivator and she's very very close to her clan leader. She's almost like his adopted daughter.
Absolutely talented and gorgeous. She and Rusong would make beautiful children together.
Wen Ruohan: Don't forget that Yao'er had a humble life as well.
Qin Cangye: At least Yao'er's dad was a cultivator and his mom was a fox empress. And he has pulled his way through this tumultuous Jianghu. A-Qing had just gotten married to Song'er.
Though unfortunate of A-Qing's past predicaments, marrying a poor mortal was unheard of.
Wen Ruohan: *sigh* Move with the times. Old man.
Move with the times.
A-Qing is good with Rusong.
Qin Cangye: That's just my opinion.
FSL Ouyang: But she lived with two powerful Taoists, and xue yang is a part of team dimple.
Qin Cangye: Taoists are subjected to fox spirits and xue yang is Yao'er's henchman and concubine. Everyone knows that.
Wen Ruohan: Your denseness is appaling. Please save yourself by shutting up.
FSL Ouyang: But look at our generations standing together. Qin Cangye's Taizi Rusong, my Ouyang Zizhen and your Wen Yuan.
Wen Ruohan: Wen Yuan isn't my son nor grandson. Continue though. Before I punch Qin xiong in the face.
Lan Qiren: Wen Ruohan. I came to toast with you.
Wen Ruohan: Oh you are?! I thought you were going to curse me or something.
You don't even have the gull to do that.
Lan Qiren: As a pious man, I don't engage in such profanities.
Qin Cangye: Well you didn't say that when you were throwing hands with Jin Guangshan.
Lan Qiren: Jin Guangshan was insulting ny dignity around that time! It's bot what you think!
Qin Cangye: Though I despise Jin Guangshan, I know that he wasn't lying about that one.
FSL Ouyang: Hmm, I've heard rumours in the cloud recesses. Unfortunately I can't remember clearly.
Lan Qiren: That's the bliss of being a Shidi.
FSL Ouyang: Yea. I was closer to Fengmian Xiong.
These days I feel nervous in Jiang Zongzhu's presence, even though I was friends with his dad. Fengmian Xiong would be proud.
(Former Sect Leader Ouyang was the youngest. That's why he doesn't have grandchildren like the rest. His peers also had children earlier in life.)
Wen Ruohan: Ah, classes at the cloud recesses.
I think I chose the wrong brother ro harass. You're quite unstable.
Qingheng Jun would've been more obedient.
Qiren: I wouldn't have let you touch my brother! Amd of course I remembered that you burnt my sect first, because I refused to be your concubine!
Meanwhile, Yao Huangdi, his family, and his guests were enjoying their drama!
After that ceremony, Jinfeng Zun and Taihua Gongzhu went to his quarters right on the courtyard of Pine Pavillion,
Taihua: Jinfeng zun, You're living next to Song ge? That means I can't sneak in?
Gongyi Xiao: Though Dianxia knows about our relationship, I won't advise you to sneak in like a bandit.
Taihua: *laughing* Then like what? Sneak in like a cat?!
Gongyi Xiao: Pfft!
Taihua: You should have your own residence here! As Jinfeng zun.
Gongyi Xiao: It depends on rank, Gongzhu. But I'm happy with my counters, for now.
Taihua: You're the sweetest thing. We should meet my family, before they grt to busy with Sunshot events.
Us fox spirits believe if the match is made around the Sunshot campaign anniversary, then that couple will build empires together.
Gongyi Xiao: I see where. Meng Huangdi and Huanghou met, then Jin Huangdi and Huanghou were going to get married, but called it off.
Taihua: There were a lot of imperial couples, and fox spirits love that kind of thing.
The couple then arrived Gongyi Xiao two storey courters. It was a beautiful 2 storey residence. Not too opulent, but it matches his rank as a young sect leader. Plus he got perks with the name Meng Huangdi gave him.
And being a part of Pine Pavillion, it had its own arched bridge with koi and an outside seating area. His courters were in front of the servant and militaria courters.
Taihua: Who lives behind you?
Gongyi Xiao: That's servant courters. Also some of the troops who are training under Yanqing and I, and some Qin sect members.
Taihua: Huh. *looks at it* I've never seen that before.
Gongyi Xiao: I didn't expect you to be there.
Taihua: you need a bigger residence according to your rank.
Gongyi Xiao: My dear, Meng Huangdi had offered it, but I declined.
I wanted to build my career without getting favours.
Taihua: Aww.
But you know you can't turn down A-Die again, when we tell him that we're dating.
He will give you a mansion out of happiness.
Gongyi Xiao: *blushing* Huangdi is so kind. Is this his habit?
Taihua: Of course. He loves to reward people at times.
And it would be better, because you're a sect leader.
Inside his residence, Taihua looks around and admires the place, until her eyes stopped on a painting of her.
Gongyi Xiao: Tadaa! This is what you wanted to see, right?
Taihua: *emotional* Gongyi Xiao. You made this?
Gongyi Xiao: *looks at her* You're too beautiful to behold alone. So i had to put you on paper.
Taihua: *turns red*
Gongyi Xiao: *kisses hand*
Taihua: *hugs him tightly*
Gongyi Xiao: Would you like any refreshments?
Taihua: Sure. Let's have something together. Then we'll meet my family.
~
A half an hour later, at Jing Manor's living room, the Mengs were summoned by Xiaoyu.
Qin Su: I'm anxious A-Yu. What does Hua want to show us?
Xiaoyu: You'll know in a moment, A-niang.
Yao: Hmm. Element of surprise. I see she's a lot like me.
Qin Su: She's too much like you, Huangdi.
A-Song.
Xiaoyu: Song ge is sworn to secrecy.
Rusong: I believe that Hua would do justice.
A-Qing: Yea. Give her the spotlight.
Yao: I think I know what it is, but I rather not say. It may spoil things for A-Su.
Qin Su: Huangdi!
Jingyi: But isn't it obvious.
Meng Shi: It is, but we should stop trying to figure it out. I love suspense.
Cuifen: Yea I agree with Nainai. Even though everyone know why jiejie called us here.
Zixuan: Not everyone! I don't know what you guys are talking about.
Meng Shi: Ayao didn't tell you?
Zixuan: Nooo. A-Su and I are lost
Yao: I would've told you, but I was busy planning.
Zixuan: that's always the excuse. *laughs*
Xiaobao: How about we keep our mind off of it to grow the suspense. A-Die, A-Die! I want my own team dimple. How did you get them?
Yao: I was pleased with their unmatched loyalty and love they had towards me. These we became besties.
Xue yang: Jiggy couldn't resist my tiny waist.
A-Qing: What tiny waist? Yuefu isn't a simp.
Xue yang: I think Taizifei should stop acting blind now.
A-Qing: Sometimes I wish I was, after seeing all that shit in Yi city.
Rusong: Was it that bad?
A-Qing: More like insane. Xue yang made it a crime scene.
Xue yang: Haha, a crime scene? It's not a crime scene if you hide it up well.
Su she: Huangdi chose us, A-Bao.
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege was really really amazing and I wanted him to myself.
Xiaobao: Ohhh.
Rusong: They were just simps basiically, A-Bao.
But would your Huaien allow?
He's already team dimple in one.
Yao: don't you have Zhaocai and jinbao?
Xiaobao: They're my servants and best friends.
Yao: What do you think team dimple is?
Xiaobao: Ahhhh, you have a point, A-Die.
Song ge, I'm hiring Jinbao again. I'm a scholar and the brother of a future emperor. I got to look fancy. And I want to have fun with my own team dimple.
Rusong: Aw that sounds fun. You should. And your servants are adorable.
Xiaobao: As they should be.
Taihua: A-Die, A-niang! *walks in with Gongyi Xiao*
Yao: There you are, my darling.
Qin Su: Baby, we were waiting.
Taihua: Suspense.
Yao: Exactly.
Gongyi Xiao: Greetings Huangdi, Huanghou and Taihou.
Yao;: *nods warmly*
Taihua: Jinfeng Zun, you tell A-Die.
Gongyi Xiao: The emperor?
Taihua: Nothing will happen.
The Meng family continued watching him with a sort of mischievous and curious gaze, making Gongyi Xiao a bit nervous. He's actually good at talking to people in authority, but he doesn't want to come off as rude or undignified, or make Taihua look bad.
Gongyi Xiao: Huangdi, Taihua Gongzhu and I love each other.
Taihua: *shy* It's true. I love Jinfeng zun, Gongyi Xiao.
Yao: There it is!!! Oh my dear Hua!
Qin su: Oh my goodness! What a perfect match! Gongyi Xiao is perfect for you.
Taihua: Really?
Qin Su: Mhm.
Rusong: so precious!
A-Qing: Xiaoyu and I had helped her with the match!
Rusong: Oh you did?
Xiaobao: *sniffles* Love stories always make me cry. *hides his face with his fan.
Jingyi: Hmmmmmm a sect leader! She's a Meng. 100% a Meng.
Zixuan: How fancy. A rich clan leader is the way to go.
Meng Shi: Huahua, we all knew all alone.
I'm happy for you!
Qin su: Oh that's why you both are always together.
Gongyi Xiao: Yes Huanghou.
Taihua: I really want to be with him.
Yao: So be it, dear. You two are lovely together, since day one.
Gongyi Xiao, You're part of the family now.
Gongyi Xiao: Thank you Huangdi. *bow*
Yao: Don't be formal! I'll be your Yuefu soon. Like A-Qing.
So tell me more about your relationship.
Taihua: A-Die. *shy*
Yao: I'm curious, dear.
Xichen: Well we gossiped about Wangxian all the time, so. He hasn't changed.
Taihua: *sits* ok fine, A-Die.
I couldn't stop thinking about him! And when we were in Moling, we held hands and cuddled in private rooms away from nosy clan members.
Su she: Hua. Those are My nosy clan members.
Yao: Oh, sounds steamy.
Gongyi Xiao: And I recently showed her a painting of her.
Yao: That's delightful! No wonder you two took so long to arrive.
You're a charmer.
Did you get her any gifts yet?
Gongyi Xiao: Not yet Huangdi. Forgive me.
Yao: Illegal and treasonous. But I accept you apology. I can't be upset with my son-in-law.
Qin Su: You have to buy Hua a gift!
Taihua: What are you planning to get me?
Gongyi Xiao: *caresses her face* it's a surprise.
Taihua: Awww.
I can't wait to see!
Xiao. I will cherish anything from you.
Shen Jiu: *enters* So, what did I miss, your imperial majesty? Your family seem jubilant.
Yao: Gongyi and Hua love each other.
Shen Jiu: Oh Really??? So it's a match?
Yao: It's a match!
Shen Jiu: Ah, congratulations!
Gongyi Xiao, you have to prepare for you evaluation. The--
Qin Su: There's no need for that. Gongyi Xiao is my son-in-law now.
Yao: We already know how charming and talented he is. Thank you.
Shen Jiu: yes, your majesties. Glad to please you agaun.
Qin su: They're a gorgeous couple, and reminds me of Huangdi and I.
Yao: I agree, dear.
Meng Shi: what a beautiful dynasty. As expected.
Qin Su: I feel quite happy and legendary.
Two sons-in-law are clan leaders, one is a prince (Huaien), and one is a clan leader to be (Su Fengge).
My children and Huangdi's offspring from his concubines have gotten perfect matches.
I will be a very powerful Taihou.
Meng Shi: You will! You have me to teach you how to be a Taihou.
Qin su: Yes Yuemu. *smile*
Meng Shi: You're already very ideal.
Yao: Gongyi Xiao, I know that you'll take good care of my daughter and lover her unconditionally. Judging from your character.
As the just Huangdi I am, I'll allow you both to date. But please don't disappoint me.
Gongyi Xiao: I won't fail you and Hua, Yuefu. That will be worst than death.
Yao: Well then, I will bestow a little gift for you both.
I promise it's small.
Xiao, how about you move into a much more lavish residence. Lilan in Jing Manor was one of my ancestor's residences. You both can live there.
Taihua and gyx: *bows* Thank you for your generosity, Huangdi.
Yao: no problem my dears.
A-Song and A-Qing. Please think about securing your succession.
Rusong: Definitely, A-Die.
A-Qing: Succession? Yuefu, are you telling me to get knocked up by Rusong?
Yao: *laughs* Who else would you want to be knocked up by.
A-Qing: Hehehehehe.
Xue yang: Such a simp.
Rusong: *looks at A-Qing* I love the fact that you're a simp.
A-Qing: Don't listen to Xue yang.
Xiaobao: So sweet.
Where is my husband? Adie, I'm going to look for Huaien. I'll take your leave.
Yao: Ah sure, A-Bao. You're dismissed.
~~~
It's the next day, and all great clans came in their numbers in Lanling. The respective clan leaders were on horseback while the ✨️ladies✨️ were in caravans~ riding in style.
A-Qing: *looks out the window (Rusong looks so sexy on that horse.)
He's beautiful.
Rusong, for this occasion wore a gauze hat. Whilst riding next to Jinling and sizhui, he managed to turn the heads of passersby who came to see their dazzling gentries.
Before Yao Huangdi's rule, mortals never even gave a shit about the gentries, but now they've seen that they're getting something from it.
On the other hand, the two emperors proudly rode in front,
Zixuan: Meng Huangdi. How does it feel parading your 3 concubines in Lanling?
Yao: *chuckles* Ahh, it makes me feel powerful.
Zixuan: *teasing* You have the gull to do that!
Yao: Jin Huangdi, only I can do such a thing.
Zixuan: you're so right! And so savage.
I love you Huangdi.
Yao: Thank you, Huangdi. But you're doing the same! Jiang Zongzhu is here too.
Zixuan: Ayao! Dont make me blush!
Yao: *laughs*
Zixuan: Too bad Nie Zongzhu isn't here.
Who told him to revolt against you.
Yao: Exactly.
Pàoor poor him.
Now forget about him, I wish to bask in my people's love for me.
And besides, Laoling Qin is there to take their place.
Zixuan: Oh yes! Let's forget him.
Afrerwards, in Jinlintai's courtyard, The Sus, Lans, Jiangs, Jins, Qin and Reformed Wens, erected their flags while accompanied by drums, horns and other instruments.
Su she: Long live Moling Su! I, Su Xiandu, will be loyal to Meng Huangdi.
Lan Xichen: Long live Gusu Lanshi.
We'll continue to be Righteous!
Jiang cheng: Long live Yunmeng Jiangshi.
Jinling: Long live Lanling Jinshi.
Rusong: Long live Laoling Qinshi
Sizhui: Long live the Reformed Wen Sect!
The Meng Emperor then sat proudly and slightly smug, whereas the clan leaders knelt before him in submission.
Yao: *flutters fan slowly* You all look good kneeling like this.
Hanguang Jun, nice to see you're here too. I admire your heroism as well.
Lan Wangji: thank you.
Xue yang: Come on, join the rest, stone face.
Lan zhan: *ignores*
Xue yang: *unsheaths Jiangzai*
Yao: It's fine. Today is an auspicious day. And I'm in a good mood.
Mo xuanyu: Sometimes I don't understand non team dimple members.
Yao: You may all stop kneeling. *stood up*
Let's go in. A-Ling, you're in charge of Jinlintai. I believe you will accommodate everyone beautifully.
Jinling: Of course, Xiao shushu.
Let my staff handle that.
Yao: That's good.

Inside Jinlintai's banquet hall.
A cloaked Wen Ruohan walks in, striking fear into smaller clan leaders. The two emperors, on the other side, shows their authority through body language as they held a peaceful yet stern demeanor.
Jiang cheng: This war criminal concubine.
Jinling: Yea, Jiujiu! But he's funny when he's around Meng Nainai.
Jingyi: He looks like a kicked puppy.
Ouyang Zizhen: Is he supposed to be scary?
Xichen: He used to be. But now A-yao Huangdi is in control. He's unable to cease power.
Ouyang Zizhen: That's a good thing!
Sizhui: I just know that he hates how I rule the Wen sect.
Jinling: He has a big ego!
Rusong: Wen Zongzhu must accept the fact that you're the sect leader, and you're doing it your way.
Sizhui: Right! But I don't make it bother me, really.
It's called the Reformed Wen Sect for a reason.
Rusong: Yea, pay no mind.
Jinling: You're doing a fair job. I dont see you terrorizing people, so.
Wen Ruohan: Yao Huangdi, and Zixuan.....huangdi. I, Wen Ruohan--
Zixuan: So you're not gonna kneel or go on one knee?
Wen Ruohan: I don't kneel to anyone, Young spawn of Jin Guangshan.
Zixuan: *gasps* I'll have you arrested for your insolence then!
And Yao Huangdi is a spawn of Jin Guangshan too.
Wen Ruohan: Yea but you're more provoking.
I'll kneel before Yao Huangdi.
Mo xuanyu: As you should! You don't want to anger the Mengs.
Wen Ruohan: Huangdi, why is your weasel talking to me?
Mo Xuanyu: Xuan gege, you're right. Arrest him!
Wen Ruohan: Relax!
*kneels before Meng Yao*
Yao: Delightful. It helps me as a short person. *laughs*
Wen Ruohan: And I offer my respect!
I Wen Ruohan submit to the emperor of the Fox spirits and Jianghu. *glares* and the emperor of peacock spirits. I vow to preserve peace. I will not cease power nor stir up conflict.
Yao: Good. You still have your fans in the Fox spirit
Wen Ruohan: I know, Huangdi. And I love it.
It's just the cultivators who are snobs.
Yao: Ahh.
Wen Ruohan: Like look at Lan Qiren. Why is he staring at me like that? I hope he knows that I have his files.
Mo xuanyu: Just what this banquet needs! Some drama.
Xue yang: I'm gonna harass Lan qiren.
Su she: *whispers* I love the idea of humiliating the Lans.
Shen Jiu: *looks at them*
Xiaobao: team d is at it again, Shizun?
Shen Jiu: Yep. But I can't read their lips. What are they saying!
Mingfan: Shizun, do you want me to go ask them?!
Shen Jiu: Hell no. You'll blow my cover.
Mingfan: I have a feeling that you want to join in their chaos.
Shen Jiu: (yes I do) Mingfan, do you have any simping to do?
Mingfan: No, Shizun. I'll do that later.
Shen Jiu: Of course i want to join in the chaos, but in a subtle way. I'm a part of Huangdi's imperial court.

Yao: I'm finished. The floor is yours now, Huangdi.
Zixuan: Thank you, Huangdi!
Firstly I want to ask why did we have to do gardening, like scooping manure and probably feces.
Wen Ruohan: Builds character.
Zixuan: It doesn't.
I had to strap my nose down.
Ah. That and carrying buckets were the worst things. At least it thought me farming. If not, I wouldn't be able to plant lotuses for Empress A-Li.
Wen Ruohan: See! I made sure you secure your woman.
Jin Guangshan would never do that, even though he's a womanizer. He's not at all a good influence.
Zixuan: thank you then.
I was in my element on the battlefield! It was only me and my Suihua! We cleared everything our path.
Xue Meng: He's known as the warrior emperor, whereas Meng Huangdi is the spy emperor.
Zixuan: Right! I literally want to go back on the battlefield, to get an adrenaline rush. And show off!
Xue Meng: But the Jianghu is at peace, Huangdi.
Zixuan: Yea. That's the thing.
At least I still take pleasure in training my defense force.
There's this branch of the Dai people who constantly has us on our toes. I sensed their rebellious nature.
Yao: Why didn't you say so? That sounds awful.
Any reason?
Zixuan: No reason at all! They're just being ungrateful.
Their emperor gave them everything, and that's how they repay me?
Anyways, let's forget this. Everything is under control, A-yao.
Yao: Ok then.
A-Song, A-Ling.
Thereafter, Rusong took the floor and bowed in Meng Huangdi's direction, then he began his presentation.
Rusong: The story of the Sunshot campaign is one of resilience, intelligence, loyalty and survival.
While recalling, we see that swordmanship and cultivation weren't enough to end it. Yes, it was effective, but it was only a faction of our efforts.
I admire the 5 great clans for standing your ground and taking back your place on the Jianghu's stage, as well as the smaller clans that we sometimes forget.
My two grandfathers, Sect leader Qin and Jin played a part in it. Grandpa Qin had sent extra troops, who had unfortunately became the Canon fodders for the Jins. The Qins had always protected, funded and backed up the Jins, hence the Jins didn't get affected.
Jinling: *bows in respect* Jin yeye was undoubtedly corrupt, wanted his hands on the Yin iron. However the Lanling Jin clan had produced a lot of heroes like Xiao Shushu Huangdi and Fuqin, Jin Huangdi.
Xiao shushu was a spy, clan leader and chief cultivator! Whereas Fuqin, alongside, Muqin were in charge of feeding cultivators and treating those who were injured.
Rusong: Fuqin had also helped people in need around Hejian and the rest of the Jianghu.
Jinling: Yep.
On the other hand~
Ning Yingying: Rusong Dianxia's voice is so beautiful.
A-Qing: He's just so charming. With his dimples and posture.
Ouyang Zizhen: He's perfect. With his fox ears and tail.
Mingfan: I can listen to him for days!
Rusong: On behalf of Meng and Jin Huangdi. We will love to invite you to set up your clan's flags tomorrow.
Jinling: The flag ceremony and banquet will be held in Jinlintai.
Mingfan: Where's Jinlintai? I haven't been there.
A-Qing: It's a grand palace like residence owned by the Jins and partially by Rusong.
Mingfan: I knew he was rich, but I didn't know he was that rich.
Yao: Lovely! *opens fan* Everyone, please grab some food. It will be delivered shortly.
Yao: Song'er, you're my future Huangdi. Let's mix and mingle.
Rusong: Sure, A-Die.
~~~
Later at night, At his residence, Wen Ruohan is a little tipsy and "grieving".
And as expected of Tianlang Jun, he took pleasure in teasing him.
Tianlang Jun: What happened to you, fellow concubine?
Why are you so sad? A-Shi didn't look your way.
Wen Ruohan: *low voice* I just want to start drinking from tonight.
Tianlang Jun: Why? Is it because of Wen Ruohan Defeat day? I didn't know it was tomorrow.
Zhuzhi Lang: But, Tianlang Jun, I told you this mor---
Tianlang Jun: Shhh.
Wen Ruohan: It's called Sunnshot Day! And it is celebrated throughout the week.
Tianlang Jun: I rather the first one.
You poor poor thing. *pats shoulder*
Wen Ruohan: *pushes off his hand*
Tianlang Jun: At least Yao'er invited you to the exhibit. Those fox spirits still adore you for taking care of their Huangdi.
Wen Ruohan: Yea, I don't have a problem with them. I just can't forget those loser cultivators rising against me!
Who do they think they are!
Tianlang Jun: Your execution was wrong, bro. That's the only reason.
Wen Ruohan: How dare you come with such a bold statement. I planned out everything perfectly! It's my good for nothing children who messed things up.
Except for Yao'er. He was exceptional. Though he was a spy, I was still proud of him.
Tianlang Jun: I hope you're not saying that to please A-Shi. Cuz that would mean you're a fake concubine, with ulterior motives.
Wen Ruohan: Not at all. I was proud of him before I met A-Shi.
Tianlang Jun: Huh, weird! Is it true that Yao'er stabbed and exiled you?
Wen Ruohan: It's true. And From behind too! That's what I was proud of! I saw myself in him. Yao'er's swiftness and brains are remarkable. He's calculating and sneaky. Moving in the shadows and waiting to strike!
If a spy can fool someone as powerful as me, then they're of high intelligence!
Tianlang Jun: Mhm. A good spy never gets caught.
Wen Ruohan: I saw myself in him!
Unfortunately my own sons lack that sort of expertise.
Tianlang Jun: If I were in your place, the Wens would've still have an upper hand, though. I would be planning that thing 10 years before it happens. And training my imbecile Wen sons.
Wen Ruohan: I planned it 4 years before, when I realized that Jin Guangshan had an eye on the Yin Iron.
Tianlang Jun: Why were you intimidated by that gold weasel? Are you serious?
Wen Ruohan: pfft! I wasn't.
And those idiot cultivators didn't want me to oppre- control them. They stood against me!
I immediately ordered them to stop their rebellious behavior or else I'll abandon them as Xiandu, and maybe later hunt them down.
Tianlang Jun: That's the first thing you did wrong. You showed them that your authority was being threatened.
That's kinda weak in my opinion.
Wen Ruohan: How dare you!
Tianlang Jun: How dare I what?
Wen Ruohan: When I walk into a room, I own it! Everyone would kneel, stay silent or scoot on their knees!
Tianlang Jun: And you still lose? I could imagine the laughter.
I knew I laughed while reading the article.
Wen Ruohan: Didn't you have your own Jianghu affairs to read about?! Why should you look at mine?!
Tianlang Jun: Yours is more juicy, Ruoruo. Duh!!
If I were you, I would've spread propaganda in the newspaper during the war.
Wen Ruohan: We did. But the Jianghu was too idiotic to believe it. I told them to make me emperor, and they refused!
At least I could've fooled those pesky mortals
Tianlang Jun: Mortals take everything you throw at them.
Wen Ruohan: Once I told the mortal scums that the Qishan Wen clan has more advanced cultivation and knowledge, as we can raise the dead and fulfill their desires. They would be much more safe under our oppre-- rule.
And there's no war going on. The cultivators want an excuse to destroy the place and not provide thwir services. They want them to suffer.
Once I said that wouldn't have to pay for the upkeep of cultivators. And as you know, that's a lie!
Tianlang Jun: How savage of you.
But do they still pay for the upkeep of you rich snobs?
Wen Ruohan: Nah. After Meng Huangdi, mortals take care of their own cities and have their own regime. They would pay cultivators for cultivation and exorcism, and that's just it. They'll pay for their imperial protection. Fox spirits and cultivators will help with their mortal realm instead of destroying it.
Tianlang Jun: Ahh, paying for protection. Got it. *sips wine*
Wen Ruohan: Why are you drinking my wine?
Tianlang Jun: Oh come on. I must drunk something while listening to you.
Tianlang Jun: I'm happy for Yao'er then.
Imagine you as an overlord.
Tianlang Jun: It's interesting how you guys make everyone else your servants, and then claim to be righteous.
Wen Ruohan: Before Yao'er, when a mortal patronizes a clan or sect, all their earnings plus cultivation costs are given to the noble cultivation clans. They were all seen as poor scums. Then Yao'er made sure that they only pay for cultivation costs. What they earn is theirs. They would have to pay Emperor Meng himself to ensure safety.
And do you see, he helps them in return.
He even sponsored a few, when he was sect leader Jin.
Yao'er is good at what he does.
Tianlang Jun: Mnn.
Meng Shi: *enters with Sisi* Ruoruo. What's with the groggy look? It doesn't suit you.
Wen Ruohan: Greetings, Taihou. *goes to kiss her hand. But then Sisi slapped his hand away*
Sisi: Go freshen up!
Tianlang Jun: A-Shi! *kisses her hand* Ignore Ruoruo. Everyone is celebrating his ass whooping day so.
Wen Ruohan: Oh come on, don't saying like that.
Tianlang: Taihou, I'm so glad you came on time! I almost died from boredom. Fortunately I got to laugh at him.
Meng Shi: Could've ran away.
Tianlang Jun: Ahaha! I'm afraid he chases me and pins me down!
Meng Shi: Oh my goodness! I can see that happening though.
Ruoruo, do you remember you have to say a vow of peace to my son.
Wen Ruohan: Yes A-Shi. I certainly will.
Tianlang Jun: War criminal stuff, you know. And you got to say the vow of peace to the peacock too.
Wen Ruohan: *rolls eyes*
Meng Shi: Zixuan isn't that intimidating. And he's close to A-yao.
Wen Ruohan: He hurts my pride.
Tianlang Jun: Oh great. Now the weasel spawn took over from his dad, hurting your feelings. Ahahahahaha.
Wen Ruohan: *punches him*
Tianlang Jun: MY NOSE!!!
Meng Shi: Hey!!
Tianlang Jun, is it broken?
Tianlang: Noooo, it's just bleeding! Am I still hot?
Meng Shi: Yes Tianlang Jun, you're still pretty attractive.
Sisi: So I have to get him a rag or something?
Tianlang Jun: *heals himself* no need.
Wen Ruohan: Teach me how to do that.
Tianlang Jun: No.
Zuzhi-Lang: Why did you take so long to heal yourself??
Tianlang Jun: Zhuzhi-Lang, I wanted to divert A-Shi's attention to me.
Meng Shi: *shakes head* You're too much.
Wen Ruohan: A-Shi. I think I should get the Wens back in the fold. Give them a little importance.
Meng Shi: Interesting.
Tell me who and how. Your deposed sons are maybe long gone. Even though i don't see the necessity, I understand you want someone from your sect to gain importance.
Wen Ruohan: Yes! Some Wen I can be proud of.
Tianlang Jun: What about Lan Sizhui. Aka Wen Yuan.
Wen Ruohan: Sizhui? Really?! His mind is poisoned by Lan Wangji!
His reformed Wen is a Wangxian experiment dungeon.
Meng Shi: You have a point. He has too much of Lan Zhan's influence.
Besides, he's A-ling's concubine.
Wen Ruohan: If he wasnt, I would've made him an official or something.
I want Wen Qing to be Yao'er's concubine.
Meng Shi: Oh! Wen Qing?! How lovely! Wen Qing is smart and beautiful, strong and talented. She's also good with A-Su. Her and A-yao are allies.
But it's all up to Yao'er.
Wen Ruohan: Will you do your magic then, A-Shi? And I'll also send a request.
Meng Shi: Would Wen Qing even accept?
I know it's impossible to refuse Yao'er, but Wen Qing probably has her own life going on.
Wen Ruohan: I'll try to persuade her.
Meng Shi: sure. Go ahead then. Our Meng family is the most powerful in the Jianghu.
At Jin Manor's Red mansion, Wen Ruohan's residence that was next to Meng Shi's Eternal flower mansion, Wen Ruohan was busy scolding his servants and ordering them around. This however was the norm, and some servants do try to avoid him.
Wen Ruohan: Make that mistake again and I'll whip you!
Y..yes Taifei! *runs*
Xue yang: Yea! Ruoruo wants it perfect! Whatever you did wrong.
Su she: Greetings Wen Taifei. How are you?
Wen Ruohan: Pissed. My servants looked at me in the eye. How dare they?!
Xue yang: For that? Really?
Wen Ruohan: I think I should go back to fierce corpse servants. But something keeps eating them.
Is this the work of my Yao'er?
Mo xuanyu: Correct. He ordered us to feed Bai Renshou weak fierce corpse underlings.
Wen Ruohan: That's incredible! I can't wait to see this Bai Renshou.
Su She: Everything he does is incredible.
In due course, Wen Taifei.
Xue yang: I heard you were crying your eyes out.
Wen Ruohan: You insolent delinquent! How dare you assume that!
I never cry!
Xue yang: *chugs wine, then chokes* Dude what are you drinking!
Wen Ruohan: Expensive wine! Now stop wasting it!
Su she: Wen Taifei, that would be a problem if you're drunk!
Wen Ruohan: Why, Shanshan? Did I ask you to hold back my hair while I throw up?
Anyways, I filtered out the alcohol with my core.
Su she: Like Lan lips.
Xue yang: You taught something to Lan lips?
Wen Ruohan: Hell no!
But I know that taught Yao'er--
Wen Ruohan: That explains a lot
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege invited you to his exhibit.
Wen Ruohan: Delightful! Let's go then! Yao'er knows my worth, and I'm popular among thr Hulijings.
...
Meanwhile, at the exhibit, Qin Huanghou walked alongside Yao Huangdi while admiring various blades.
Yao: Dear, i didn't mean to bore you with swords. Do you want to choose a piece of jewelry from my collection?
Qin su: As if don't have my own collection of bejeweled weaponry already, Yao Huangdi. Plus, I've been around cultivators my whole life. *laughing* They're all very interesting and exquisite. Like no other.
Yao: I'm glad to hear that.
Qin Su: *looks on at small spider-like objects* What's that? It looks like a bladed spider.
Yao: They stick to a victim, suck on their qi, and poison them slowly.
It was rarely used.
Qin su: Ah. Like a parasite then.
Yao: Yup.
Rusong: Can they control the host?
Yao: They can, and they transfer the qi to the owner.
Rusong: Wow!
Jingyi: Pretty badass.
Xiaobao: It looks like a pretty brooch.
Yao: Stay away from them, A-Bao. They're extremely dangerous.
Xiaobao: You don't need to tell me twice. I love being a scholar to be, and a pampered Dianxia. We should leave all that work to the professionals. *opens fan*
Yao: Ah.
Qin Su: Yao Huangdi, may I ask you a favour.
Yao: Tell me, my dear empress.
Qin Su: Let's go to Langya some day, during Sunshot week.
Yao: Ohh Langya! *laughs knowingly* Empress, what is this.
Jingyi: What's special about there?
Rusong: A lot of things. Care to spill the beans, A-niang.
Qin su: That's where I first saw your Diedie, and fell in love with him.
I was captured by the Wens there amd he saved me.
Jingyi: Awwww.
Rusong: So romantic!
A-Qing: I didn't know you were a damsel in distress like Lan guifei.
Yao: your Muqin was very vulnerable back then, as she was the daughter of a rich clan leader.
I saved her.
Qin su: And you did a pretty good job, Huangdi.
Yao: We'll visit Langya. *puts her hands in his* And go on a little date.
Qin su: *blushing* Yes A-Yao.
And make sure to wear your Wen robes.
Yao: Ah, good choice.
Wen Ruohan: Yao'er!
Yao: Fuqin.
Wen Ruohan: I see you have all my stuff on display. Well it's yours now.
Yao: I take good care of it too.
Wen Ruohan: As expected of you!
Rusong: A-Die had just showed us the heavy necklace you gifted him.
Wen Ruohan: Hmm.
Xiaobao: How did your blood sons react?
Wen Ruohan: they were PISSED!
But I told them they would've gotten it if they pleased me.
I only reward people deserving of it.
All of these bring back memories.
I know that they may sell it after I croak.
Hulijing onlooker: Huangdi, San Dianxia, please show me The Assassins dagger.
Yao: Gladly. *wields it*
Wen Ruohan: You have that old thing?! *laughing proudly*
Perfectly polished, though.
Yao: It's my prize possession!
The Assassin's dagger. It's extremely chilling and sharp, and the reflection isn't your own.
It can be a man, woman or elder. Perhaps someone who was killed by it.
I shall give it to A-Song when he becomes the emperor.
Rusong: Ah, thank you. I'll take good care of it.
Yao: I know, dear. This dagger is my war trophy, you know. It's the relic of relics.
Xiaobao: This dagger was originally. owned by an assasin.
Wen Ruohan: Mhm. I snatched it after I beheaded him. Long story.
I think Wen Qing used it or something. I'm not sure. I'm getting a little old.
Jingyi: Yea, you're about one thousand years old now!
Wen Ruohan: Oh my goodness, er Dianxia! I'm not that old.
But in cultivation age, yes.
Yao: I acquired it after he was defeated.
The Lanling Jin clan had conducted a siege.
Wen Ruohan: Yes. And I'm happy that everything ended up in your hands.
Imagine Jin Guangshan touching my priceless Lacquer vase. And my Lacquer ornaments.
Xue yang: What else do you want him to touch, Ruoruo?
Wen Ruohan: Xue yang!!
Yao: Xue chengmei, I don't think Jin Guangshan is his type.
Wen Ruohan: He's a worm. And worms should be crushed.
Yao'er, where's that peacock brother of yours? The one who kicked Wen chao in the crutch.
He resembles his dad.
Rusong: Oh shit. Zish Shushu wouldn't like that last part.
Yao: Aha, Zixuan will be here shortly.
Jingyi: He kicked Wen chao?!
Wen Ruohan: Yea. And the weak little twink ran in crying about it.
I was like, so? If Jin Zixuan kicked you in the crutch, he kicked you in the crutch.
Yao: Oh those were the days! When I had to pretend that I don't know him.
I had to pout and say, Wen Gongzi, Jin Guangshan has a lot of children, and I don't know this one who had kicked you where the sun doesn't shine. No pun intended.
Rusong: Nah, the pun was indeed intended.
Thereafter, Zixuan Huangdi and jinling arrived, and greeted Meng Yao. Both still had their views on Wen Ruohan, but they've always admired Yao Huangdi's collection. Plus they know that he's Meng Shi's concubine now, who was reduced to a puppy.
Zixuan: Foxy, sorry I'm late.
Yao: It's fine! You arrived at the perfect time.
Jinling: Heyy A-Song.
Rusong: What's up?
Jinling: Gonna ask Xiao shushu for one of his artifacts.
Rusong: Try. Apparently I'm going to get a ghost dagger when I become the emperor, so.
Jinling: That's epic!!
Rusong: Are you planning to give it to your concubine or something?
Jinling: pfft. No.
Maybe. If he pleases me.
Xiaobao: Ling ge, I think you're lying.
Jingyi: Definitely is. Mistress Jin is on his knees for Sizhui. Ahahaha.
Jinling: Shut up.
Zixuan: Former Wen Zongzhu, I'm happy that the Mengs have you in their clasp.
Wen Ruohan: *speaking dryly* Well I am happy being a concubine.
Zixuan: My sect and A-yao had defeated you, hence Lanling Jin is superior. And forever will be. A-Ling is the sect leader now, and I don't want you to cause any hindrance.
Wen Ruohan: Yea, don't rub it in.
Yanli: But it's good to see him as a concubine.
A-Xuan, don't be mean. The past is past.
Zixuan: I'm stating facts, A-Li. And the whole idea of Sunshot week is remembering the past, so.
Yanli: You're so dramatic all the time.
Zixuan: Why did you delay my wedding?
Wen Ruohan: Heyy?! I don't meddle with matters of the heart! Even though I'm looking for more concubines for the emperor.
Zixuan: You? Want to find a concubine for A-yao?
It's not one of your former....sect members...right?
Yanli: I had to call of our wedding preparations, dear. Remember, my sect was on fire.
Zixuan: And who made that happen?
Jinling: So it's true then!
Wen Ruohan: Jinling, we were at war.
It wasn't a pillow fight.
Jinling: That's so not cool!
Wen Ruohan: It builds character.
Yao: *laughs nervously* Let's forget about Fuqin for a sec. We must reflect on our resilience and our contribution in ending the Sunnshot campaign.
Zixuan: And the indoctrination. Agh. I don't know what I hated more. Standing in the heat for 10 hours or rolling around in manure.
Wen Ruohan: Relax. It went on for 4 hours.
Zixuan: Oh really?
Jinling: Xiao Shushu.
Yao: A-Ling.
Jinling: I want something from your collection.
Yao: I know you never leave Jing Manor empty handed.
Jinling: Of course not! Because you always spoil me.
Yao: That's right.
Have this ejecting sword case.
It was actually owned by the Meishan Yu sect, but was acquired by Wen Ruohan through Wen Zhuliu.
It can hold two swords and four throwing knives.
Jinling: Thank you so much!
I love you Xiao shushu!!!
Yao: I love you too!
.
Yao: Finished your report?
Zixuan: *Walking with Meng Yao* Yea Ziyao. Finished!
Yao: Oh good. Same here.
You called me Ziyao? All of a sudden.
Zixuan: The Jin sect had officially accepted you after assassinating Wen Ruohan. So you're my Jin Ziyao.
Yao: Aww. Please, don't make me emotional.
Zixuan: I don't know why you had to do so much to win A-Die's favor. He doesn't know the dangers. What if you were killed.
Yao: I'm smart enough not to.
Zixuan: I wish I was a spy instead of a prisoner.
I'm so jealous!
Yao: That's kind of weird about you being jealous of me.
I was a little jealous of you in the beginning.
Zixuan: You're joking! Really?
Why? I'm just normal. Is it because of my position?
Yao: Yea. But then I realized that trying to please a corrupted man is a waste of time. Jin Guangshan was only using me as a pawn, as well as someone to save face. Everyone knew i was his son.
Zixuan: Very unfortunate.
Yao: Forget this! What was your favorite part of the war?
Zixuan: killing fierce corpses and mapping. You know, I picked up on your Yunping handwriting.
Yao: You did??
Zixuan: Jiang Cheng and I are accustomed to the Yunping script, as Yunmeng are close to Yunping.
Yao: I see. Normally when I write for the Wens, I use the Northwestern Bejiang and Hejian script.
But no one knew I was from Yunping.
Zixuan: That's cool!
Team dimple, on the other hand was telling Shen jiu, the rest of concubines, and a group of people some "information" about the plethora of Wen sect chains, clamps, branding tools and other torture devices
Xue yang: Yea, these are a few pounds! But it doesn't feel as heavy when Jiggy ties us up.
Shen Jiu: too much info?
Xue yang: You're just jealous.
Su she: *coughs* Yao Huangdi sometimes would test it out. To see if it works.
Mo xuanyu: It's so sexy when he does it.
Su she: very intimate.
Xue yang: I hope Jiggy does it later or something. What should we do to make him chain us up?
Jiang Cheng: Why are you three so shameful in public.
Mo xuanyu: You will never understand team dimple, Jiang cheng!
Shen jiu: I don't think he wants to.
Will you excuse me, I'm going to meet up with the emperors.
They're less....Unhinged.
Xichen: I want A-yao to chain me up too. Just for fun.
Shen Jiu: Lan lips? I thought you were innocent.
Su she: That thing could ever be innocent?
Shi Qingxuan: I think team dimple are just very kinky, and that's ok. They love the emperor.
Didn't you like it when Binghe put you in a jar?
Shen Jiu: *rolls eyes* No.
Mo xuanyu: *excited* Can Yao gege do that to us?!
Shen Jiu: Lan Xichen, how do you do your Lan silencing spell?
Xichen: You know I can't give you my clan secrets.
Shen jiu: Not like I'm going to tell everyone.
But I may take credit. If it falls on my plagiarism day.
Xichen: Your what day?
Shen Jiu: A day where I learn other people's techniques. Don't worry, it isn't large scale cultivation. And it's for research purposes.
Mingfan knows, but he has sworn to secrecy.
~~~
An hour later, in the conference room, Yao Huangdi and Zixuan huangdi took the stage to share their experiences.
Yao: Like I've said before, I used to change mt handwriting and script a lot, in order to confuse everyone. Yunping script for spying, Northwestern for the Wens, Lanling for the Nies and rest of Lans.
Zewu Jun, what was your pov?
Xichen: Dage had asked me about this Yunpingese person, and I told him that I've only trusted a stranger. He had his doubts but he realized the strangers plans were working.
We came to the conclusion that the person was close to Qishan Wen. Maybe close to Wen Ruohan.
Zixuan: Yes, Nie Mingjue thought that you were with us all this time. I told him I didn't know where Meng Yao was.
Yao: Ah, that's a good thing. I love to hear this.
Xichen: I was shocked to know it was you!
Random Fox spirit onlooker: In conclusion, our Huangdi outsmarted thr entire Jianghu.
You're all nothing without him.
Rusong: Exactly.
I plan to make my own legacy.
Xiaobao: Zewu Jun, I read that your encouraged cultivators. Did you say a speech or something? That would've been epic if you did!
Xichen: I offered my words of wisdom and empowerment. The Wens had oppressed the jianghu for so long, and destroyed our clans.
Xiaobao: Oh waw!! I admire you so much.
Jiang cheng: Solved the Lan book mystery yet? I still believe that the Chief cultivator gremlin ran away with it.
Mo xuanyu: It was Lan Xichen! How dare you accuse Shanshan.
Xue yang: I was imprisoned by a very sexy Jiggy, so I don't know.
Su she: I've only stolen 2 scores. And obviously Lan Xichen would protect the Lan clan books.
It's his sect's stuff.
Xichen: Correct. I fled with most of the books.
Our clan had spread propaganda about Su she after he left. They blamed him for countless things.
Su she: Your sect should get a life.
Yao: They took away A-Huan's heroism. What a shame.
Zixuan: And Jiang cheng's. He saved me in Xuanwu cave!
Everyone in the Jianghu is celebratingt/commemorating the beginning of Sunshot week in different ways, by having retelling, plays and other forms of media. The new Wen Zongzhu will have his own event to honour the resilience of his sect members. Some being the ones who survived in Yiling, and some being descendants.
(Yes, it's a canon divergence)
Meng Yao is known as the hero of the Sunshot Campaign.
In the Fox spirit and Kongque Empires, it was a huge deal. Probably larger than the Jianghu. Artistic and patriotic Fox spirits take pleasure in honoring their victorious Huangdi, while basking in their own cultures which was inspired by the event. This was such an event, that had an everlasting impact on them.
On the other hand, with the Kongque peacock spirits honour their Zixuan Huangdi as a veteran who was on the literal battlefield fighting against fierce corpses, tending to wounded cultivators and making sure they get food.
There will have a two part exhibition, that will start at the Lacquer Mansion, which is like a museum and library. Then they'll go on to Jing Manor for Yao Huangdi's display of rare Wen artifacts.
~
Lacquer Mansion 📍
The room was packed with onlookers and history enthusiasts, as well as Huangdi's admirers. Xiaobao waits for his cue to start, while Meng Yao and Rusong stand front and center wpeaking to Li Zhaoning and Xuanji~ the caretakers. On the other hand, they had Meng Yao's Wen robes and other clothes on display. Speaking of clothes! Meng Huangdi and Rusong wore Wen inspired styles.
Yao: Good to see this old thing in tip top shape.
Li Zhaoning: As if you wore it yesterday, Huangdi.
Qin Su: You've always looked sexy in it, Huangdi.
Yao: Oh you think?
Qin Su: Very much.
Rusong: How did you do your spy operations? Like smuggle info?
Yao: Easy. After I left the Nie sect, I joined the Wen sect. So when I was based in Yangquan, I wrote down notes, strategies and plans, and hired a loyal messenger on the spot.
I also redrew mapa from memory.
Xuanji: Huangdi, you are gifted!
Yao: Haha. It's just my eidetic memory at work.
Rusong: Waw!
And that means they wouldn't have known that it's missing or leaked.
Yao: Exactly.
Meng Shi: Very smart and cunning of you, Yao'er! I love it.
You've drawn maps from memory!
Yao: Mhm.
Meng Shi: Aw, I wish I was there to see you at work.
Qin Su: Same. Huangdi is so brilliant.
Who was that person you've trusted so much?
Yao: Just a random vendor. His cousin was a student from the Lan clan.
Qin Su: Ohh.
Rusong: And what about Zewu Jun? You hid him in Yunping.
Yao: Yes. He was injured and I helped him back to health.
Zhaoning: The folk story around here is that Lan Xichen was a peace treaty concubine and Huangdi's secret hostage.
Meng Shi: So he wasn't? What else was he?
Yao: This is always amusing. Does he even qualify as a secret hostage?
Meng Shi: Of course, Yao'er. He's your refugee, and no one else knew.
Yao: *laughing* Well then. He is a secret hostage.
Zhaoning: Despite him not knowing that he's the emperor, Lan Xichen was in love with him. But then when he found out, he knew that he must become a peace treaty between the Meng Dynasty and GusuLan.
Rusong: Is it true that he couldn't do laundry? Ripping everything he put his hands on.
Zhaoning: *Laughing* Yes Taizi! Huangdi had to do the task of doing it for him.
Xuanji: Our precious Huangdi was so hardworking and humble. And he still is.
Rusong: *smiles* And good at doing laundry it seems.
Yao: Hahaha. Don't let them know.
Meng Shi: I taught A-yao everything, guys. Isn't it obvious.
Su she: Like other Lans, Li Zhaoning, Zewu Jun was just being disrespectful.
Xuanji: I believe he's trying to be a damsel in distress.
Rusong: Hm, that's it.
A-Qing: *looks around, then admires a bow and a quiver with two arrows intact.*
Xuanji: Taizifei, the Wens were good at archery, you know?
A-Qing: Interesting! I thought they used swords like the rest of them? But then the Jins and Qins practice archery too!
Xuanji: It wasn't common in night hunts, but the Wens would use it for fun.
A-Qing: Ahh.
I would love to learn some archery one day.
Yuefu Huang, is this your bow?
Yao: A replica. I had to dismantle it to make a torch.
And yes, I'm excellent at it.
A-Qing: What?! A torch?!
Meng Shi: Yao'er?!
Rusong: Misadventures of A-Die.
Yao: I wandered off, trying to meet with someone in secret, then I got left behind.
Meng Shi: Oh my poor baby. Yao'er, you should've been careful.
Yao: I was, A-niang.
Xuanji: I must add this in the records, Huangdi. You're really interesting.
Qin Su: Did any fox spirits help you with anything?
Yao: They wished to help me, but I told them not to. Cultivators still saw
hulijings as malevolent creatures in which they faught against.
Qin Su: That's tragic. But it was all to save your fox spirits.
Xiaobao: I see!
Rusong: At least they got time to sort of reinvent their culture.
Xiaobao: Mhm! There was a lot of fanfare!
Everyone was going crazy about the fact that their Huangdi is now a spy.
A-Qing: But how didn't they blow his cover by accident. The fox spirit empire is vast!
Xiaobao: Vast or not, they agreed to keep it a secret.
This gave birth to the saying, 'If you run your mouth, Huangdi will fail.' and 'Snitching is like snitching on the emperor himself.'
Nonetheless, they donated funds to their Huangdi to be able to afford necessities.
On the other hand, Gongyi Xiao who accompanied Taihua, looked on at a smokey feather in a wooden case.
Gongyi Xiao: Is this from a dire owl?
How did the hulijings require this?
Zhaoning: Because our Huangdi learnt how to control them, despite being a skill learned by only Wen heirs,
Jinfeng zun.
This is a feather from the the dire owl that was killed by Wangxian. Us Hulijings made sure that we acquired these precious artifacts to make our Huangdi stronger.
Yao: Correct.
I have 6 feathers in my private collection. It says that with the help resentful energy, or any power, one can revive dire owls with a single feather.
Gongyi Xiao: So cool, Huangdi!
A-Qing: Why don't you use them again?
Yao: It may ruin the anesthetic, I believe. And that amount of resentful energy is harmful.
Gongyi Xiao: Dire owls are kind of common where I live as well. But they thrive in Tianlang Jun's territories.
I think he was a fan of Wen Ruohan right before he lost the Sunshot campaign.
Yao: Isn't that so?
Tianlang Jun and Wen Ruohan are known for bickering with each other. It's kinda hilarious that Tianlang Jun initially liked him.
Rusong: He's a disappointed fan.
Meng Shi: They both secretly admire each other, but competing for my favour.
Concubine things.
Taihua: What about the Meng Huangdi Soup?
Xiaobao: The fox spirits were obsessed with eating like him.
Hence they eat soup containing one dumpling and a sprinkle of spring onions.
Xuanji: Well that's a delicacy! My wife's making it later.
Yao: Oh that's lovely to hear! I hope you enjoy.
.
Afterwards, Xiaobao San Dianxia took the pleasure to analyze fox spirit propaganda drawings! Well. Propaganda for disloyal cultivators and mortals, if any.
Their "fanart" is sketched out with a fibe brush, where only the emperor is colored in, and sometimes Zixuan Huangdi.
Meng Huangdi was always depicted as large, handsome and dashing like the young hero he is, whereas the rest of clan leaders would be ugly or dependant on the emperor's knowledge and expertise. It was actually more comedic than anything else.
Xiaobao: This is one of my favs. When they drew Lan guifei as a concubine.
Meng Shi: What else is he, A-Bao?
Xiaobao: You're right! That's why I love it.
Yao: He looks nice in a dress and flowery hairpins!
*admires*
Rusong: Zewu Jun is definitely more popular than Jiang Guifei. If it was in reverse, then Jiang guifei would've been wearing a dress.
Zhaoning: Exactly. But we still have him in high regards. During the Sunshot campaign, Sandu Shengshou was both on the field fighting, and coming up with strategies with the rest of cultivators.
Not to forget that he was doing all that after the tragic death of his parents and the burning of some of his sect.
In terms of a concubine, he's a loyal one.
He co patented with two emperors in raising Jinling Dianxia.
Xuanji: In a way, he's also a peace treaty concubine as well.
An alliance between two empires.
Yao: You're quite knowledgeable.
Xuanji: Thank you very much, Huangdi. This is my livelihood after all.
History and research.
Yao: Ah. The Fox Swallowing the Sun.
One of my favourite pieces as well. It is absolutely beautiful.
This piece art in particular, that inspired many textile patterns. "Fox Swallowing the Sun" symbolizes their huangdi ending the Wen reign of terror and further establishing his own empire.
It shows a golden nine tailed fox, whose tails formed gold clouds, while he opens his mouth to swallow the sun.
Zhaoning: But how is Wen Taifei (senior consort) now? Does he have an influence in your court.
Yao: Wen Ruohan spends his time as a concubine without any political power. But he has influences in our familial setting.
Meng Shi: He is now a little puppy in my harem.
Jingyi: Yep. Yeye is a trophy husband now.
Xuanji: As expected of the Mengs, to have him under control. Us Hulijings actually like Wen Ruohan!
He is Huangdi's father you never had. Plus we hated the cultivation world anyways. Well, before you've merged the worlds together and faught for our protection and image.
Yes, he had tyrannical rage, but at least our Huangdi got the love he deserved.
A-Qing: Did you two plan that stabbing, Yuefu? Since you were close
Yao: Nop, he didn't see it coming.
When I stabbed him from behind, he called said "Yao'er" in a sort of shocked and impressed way.
I've only stabbed his core leaving him powerless and locked him away.
He stayed spiritually crippled for a while, until I took over the Jianghu. Later on, he joined our family.
A-Qing: Epic! But yeye doesn't seem vengeful, which is a good thing.
Oh is he afraid of Nainai?
Yao: He is proud of me for stabbing him and taking over the Jianghu.
A-Qing: That's strange. I would've been pissed! And kind of jealous, to be honest.
Rusong: Yeye is a guy who is obsessed with savage people, who'll do anything to reach their goal.
Imagine technically raising someone who turned out dauntless and powerful.
Meng Shi: Exactly! If I'm prideful, that means Ruoruo is prideful too. And it shows.
A-Qing: Oh!
Yao: He's a complex person.
A-Qing: I just remembered that you have gained popularity and earned your place in the Jin sect after all this!
You literally became popular over night just like me.
Yao: Correct!
Xuanjie: For the fox spirits, Huangdi was always famous. The cultivators had just realized how valuable he is.
....
Later on, The Mengs hosted a rare Wen display in Jing Manor, as planned! Some other onlookers took the opportunity to walk through and admire priceless Wen pieces which were stored in Yao Huangdi's treasure room.
There were weaponry, manuscripts, ceramics, jewelry, chests and boxes.
Yao: A-Song. Do you see this ruby necklace?
Rusong: Mn. That's the heavy one, am I right? The one that you kept joking about almost breaking your neck with.
Yao: Yes, Wen Ruohan had given it to me as a reward and a token of affection.
Rusong: Such a beautiful piece.
Yao: He did it right in front of his own blood sons too.
Rusong: Oh my goodness! I could imagine the look on their faces!
They were probably punching the air.
Yao: Exactly. But Wen Ruohan made it clear that I've pleased him and they haven't, so I deserved the reward.
Xiaobao: He should've been here for the exhibit.
Yao: Agreed. I'm concerned about him.
Jingyi: Yeye must be drinking and thinking about his past.
Yao: Hmm I'll let team dimple check up on his welbeing and escort him here.
Team d.
Su she: Will do, Huangdi.
Xue yang: We'll harass him a little less today!
Mo xuanyu: Why is he so dramatic anyways?! The hulijings adore him.
Yao: He's maybe thinking about his defeat, more than admirers and critics. He was once a feared person.
.
Former Arbiter General of the Sky Faring commission and historian Huaiyen, who was best known for working side by side with Yao Huangdi's grandfather, met Huangdi and offered his respect.
Yao: Gen. Huaiyan. How are you?
Huaiyan: I'm well, Meng Huangdi. You are always concerned about your lowest servants.
Yao: What are you saying? You're almost like family now! And your grandson-in-law and granddaughter are close to my children and A-Qing.
Huaiyan: It's an honour!
I made sure that they offer their service and companionship to the Meng Family.

Head Eunuch Li enters again with the concubine plaque to present to his Huangdi. Meng Huangdi's throne room however had three halls connecting it, and the old, short hulijing Eunuch is just comically throttling down the hallway (with his little legs) and a whisk in his hand. Meng Yao however was done talking to Shen Jiu about somefhing.
Shen Jiu: Here he comes again. *opens fan* Are your eunuchs bored?
Yao: Nop. They're just preoccupied with their emperor's love life.
He knew I slept with Huanghou already.
She Jiu: Those eunuchs are definitely gossiping about you! Shall I whip them for your amusement?
Yao: You don't need to. My eunuchs would never gossip about their emperor.
I also want to keep them in my clasp. Historically, eunuchs seize power and I don't want that to happen. So it's best we treat them nicely.
Shen Jiu: One crucial question. Are they castrated?
Yao: Ew no. That's inhumane, and there will be urine everywhere.
Not in my fragrant palace.
Shen Jiu: Agreed.
Yao: But they still can't have children, and must live as monks.
Xue yang: Jiggy, why don't you just ask us out. You don't need a plaque!
Shen Jiu: No, you're right. He needs a restraining order.
Yao: Certainly not. Xue yang is a gremlin, yes, but he makes me laugh.
Mo xuanyu: Shen Qingqiu! Stop being bitter! This is the time for love and romance.
Shen jiu: Love and romance are the same thi- Nevermind.
Su she: Huangdi, who will you pick this time?
Yao: Soon you'll see, Shanshan.
Eunuch Li: *bows* Huangdi, this mere servant requests you to select a concubine. Again.
This time, I think that team dimple had sabotaged the plaques.
Yao: Not again.
Su she: How dare you accuse us! You old fox!
Mo Xuanyu: W..what proof do you have!
Xue yang: You better stay in your lane, if you know what's good for you.
Eunuch Li: Pardon! Pardon team dimple, but your names are there thrice each!
Mo Xuanyu: Listen. We haven't done anything, ok. We're Yao Huangdi's team dimple and you're not allowed to question us.
Shen Jiu: You three totally did it.
Yao: But without Shanshan. My dear is clueless.
Su she: Exactly Huangdi. And I never lie to you.
Yao: And oh look, it's Shan Liusi's handwriting. Yuyu's maid's. And she wrote with Vermillion instead of ink.
I remembered when you asked her to write a love letter on your behalf while your nail polish was still wet.
Shen Jiu: Someone's caught red handed. And yes. PUN INTENDED!
*opens fan again* deal with it.
Mo xuanyu: My Yao gege is always smart and superior.
Shen Jiu, you'll never understand. Yao gege and I are soulmates because we were intimate on many occasions and I have a statue of him in my room that I constantly make out with! Sometimes I feel like he speaks to me.
Shen Jiu: The....statue?
Mo xuanyu: You're just jealous that you're not on the same wavelength!!!
Shen Jiu: *concerned*
(I wonder if Binghe does the same)
Su she: We should've replaced him with Hua cheng.
Xue yang: Like, who doesn't make out with Jiggy's statue.
Su she: *blushing* Every morning means every morning.
To quote my enemy.
Shen Jiu: Agreed. It heals you. You should quote your enemy incorrectly more often.
Su she: Right.
Yao: *laughs* well there's that. I'm always moved by your infatuation with me.
*looks at the plaque* I choose the statue smooching Mo xuanyu.
Mo Xuanyu: *jumping up and down with glee* Really Yao gege!!!
Omg I think I'm dreaming!! Someone punch me!
Shen Jiu: I thought you'd never ask actually~~
Mo xuanyu: Wait no!! I have to look good for Yao gege.
Yao: You know you guys could ask me out instead of tamper with the plaques.
Su she: Team dimple is just extra, Huangdi.
Yao: Hmm. Nothing new.
Mo xuanyu: We wanted to be called like concubines.
*kisses hand* Anyways, i have to start my 56 step beauty routine. See you later.
Yao: *pats head* see you later, Yuyu.
Shen jiu: A 56 step beauty routine? Are you brushing your insides or something?
Yao: It's nothing new actually.
~~
Later on in the evening, Mo xuanyu arrived at Fangfei Mansion along with maids who brought in wine, snacks and a few items.
Mo xuanyu: Thanks for bringing them in. Now go away. I want Yao gege to myself.
Attendants: Yes Mo guifei.
Mo Xuanyu: Yao gege, I'm here.
Yao: Yuyu, I'm so happy to have you. *nine tails floating in the wind, ad always*
Mo Xuanyu: *kneels and kissss his had* Yao gege.
Yao: My dear Yuyu.
Mo Xuanyu: let me help you with your robe. *takes it off*
Yao: Thank you. *sits* You've brought wine. How delightful. Pour for the two of us, won't you.
Mo Xuanyu: Right away, Yao gege. You know I should've dressed up like a bride and *giggles* act like it's my wedding night.
But then I was like nah. I rather worship you instead.
Yao: *chuckles* Oh I'm so flattered. A-Yu, you don't need to be so elaborate.
But I'm used to you and team Dimple's antics.
Thereafter, the emperor elegantly reclined on his cushioned seat and Mo xuanyu served him some wine.
Mo xuanyu: Here you go, my beloved Yao gege.
Yao: Thank you dear.
Mo xuanyu: *props his head and stared at him*
Yao: Yuyu.
Mo Xuanyu: How are you so perfect. *brushed his hand against Meng Yao's thighs* I'm downing in your dimples and aura.
Yao: *puts down his cup, then lifts Mo xuanyu's chin and glared with golden eyes.* You think I'm perfect?
Mo Xuanyu: a little to perfect, Yao gege. I want to lock you up and have you all to myself.
Yao: Aha, you certainly can't do that. I'm an emperor.
Mo Xuanyu; Yea, that's it. *buries his head in his chest, then tries to undress him some more* Yao gege, i want to kiss your chest.
Yao: How about later, A-Yu.
Mo Xuanyu: Yes Yao gege.
Yao: *caresses his face* so obedient. *strokes his hair*
Mo Xuanyu: *giggling*
My lord!
Yao: Now tell me, how are you so obsessed with me?
Mo xuanyu: You're so kind and hot and always gently. Hella gorgeous!
When I was abused in Mo Manor and had a breakdown, I only wanted you and you alone! You were the only one who showed me love.
Jin Guangshan was a dick.
Yao: Oh poor thing. Yuyu, I'm always by your side.
Mo Xuanyu: And I'm always by yours.
Yao: I wonder what even happened to thr Mo cousins and Mo Manor.
Mo Xuanyu: I just know that I don't want to be there! I want to be next to you.
Yao: Of course. You must be my my side forever.
Anyways, forget the Mos.
Mo xuanyu: Mn. *caresses his dimples, then gave them a kiss* I love you Yao gege.
Yao: I love you too, Yuyu.
Mo Xuanyu: Do you love team dimple? We're a cult, you know. Don't tell the harem
Yao: Obviously i know you're a cult. And yes, i love team dimple dearly. You three are my alter ego.
Mo xuanyu: *sips wine* That's so so good to hear. But if you hated me, I would still love you intensely. *kisses his neck*
Yao: *kisses his forehead* Shall we take things in bed.
Mo Xuanyu: *giggles* I was waiting for you to ask!
Feel free to punish me if I dont please you!
Yao: A-Yu, you and team dimple never fail to please me. *gently wraps his hair around his hand, as he knew that Mo xuanyu loves it*
Mo xuanyu: *flushed red* HUANGDI~ Omg!! I love you so much!
Yao: *walks with him to his bed and puts him there.*
Mo xuanyu: *bites his lips* Yao gege!
Yao: *sits and glares in a smug way*
Mo xuanyu: *props next to him, then unwrapped him like a divine gift.*
Yao: You're mine.
Mo xuanyu: Yes I am, Yao gege! I'm your property!
Yao: No, not property. You're still a person.
Mo xuanyu: Then I'm your devotee, who wishes to worship your body. Alone, and intimate. *locks eyes with his*
Yao: *golden eyes* So be it.
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege.
~~~
Next day, at Jing Manor's drawing room and teahouse, the Mengs, Zixuan Huangdi and Jiang Yanli, as well as some fox spirit officials gathered. The Sunshot Aniversery week is about to start, and Yao Huangdi must finalize the details.
Yao: It's 34 years since the Sunshot campaign ended, so this week must be filled with symbolism. What is Wen Yuan Zongzhu doing on his side?
Su she: Huangdi, Wen Yuan will host his own event in Qishan, but he's definitely
planning to attend one of the events.
Yao: Excellent news. Let him have his separate event.
Xiaobao: Xuan Shushu, you and A-Die are the heroes of the Sunshot Campaign! How are you going to start the celebration?
Zixuan: Foxy and I are supposed to say a speech, then we'll host a banquet and lantern festival.
Yao: But to fill in the week, we'll look at some Wen artifacts and fox spirit historical pieces from that time, and I would put a few rare treasures on display.
Zixuan: We will host the banquet at Jinlintai.
Jinlintai? Or Qishan?
Yao: Jinlintai sounds ideal.
Xiaobao: I guess i have to go shopping with Huaien!
Huaien: Mhm. I would love to spoil you.
Xiaobao: Aww.
Yao: Yes, you all should look your best. We're the Imperial Mengs.
Xiaobao: As you wish.
A-Die, may I host the exhibit. I've learnt a lot about the Sunshot Campaign from the point of view of fox spirits.
Yao: Ahh, you're perfect for the job! Of course you can, A-Bao.
Xiaobao: Thank you.
Yao: A-Song, A-Yi. You'll be by my side, and you can give your piece in the speech.
Rusong and Jingyi: Sure!
Yao: Mn. A-Song, I also want you to co-host with me.
Rusong: I would love to, A-Die.
Qin Su: A-Qing, you'll by your Rusong's side, when he's front aand center. You two will look adorable together!
A-Qing: Of course, Yuemu! I'm always next to my Rusong.
Yao: Everything is set then!
Meng Shi: *enters with Sisi and Tianlang Jun*
She also decided to embrace her grey hair, that was tied in a knot and adorned with gold ornaments (as usual).
Her hair was more salt and pepper than entirely white.
Meng shi: Yao'er, how's the planning going?
Yao: Smoothly, A-niang.
And I love your new look! You're always the wisest of the wise.
Meng Shi: Aww thank you!
Yao: *kisses her hand in respect*
Sisi: Despite her grey hair, she still looks young.
Qin su: Mhm, you look very timeless!!
Rusong: It really suits you, Nainai.
Xiaobao: Always!
Jingyi: Nainai, I love your new look.
Meng Shi: Thank you, thank you babies.
Tianlang Jun: You deserve all the flattery, A-Shi.
Meng Shi: *smiles*
Rusong: I don't see yeye anywhere.
Yao: Yea, where's Fuqin?
Tianlang Jun: In a dramatic mess. The Sunshot Aniversery is drawing close. He's such a loser.
Meng Shi: This time would naturally be hard for him, but as Tianlang Jun said, he was indeed dramatic about it.
Yesterday, he was coming up with wild ideas like deposing Wen Yuan and putting Rusong to run it.
Rusong: Me??
Jingyi: Yes you!
Rusong: Yeye knows that Sizhui is my friend. I'll never do that to him.
Meng Shi: That's what happens when you're the heir, baby. You fall in everywhere.
Tianlang Jun: Does Ruoruo know what a friend is?
Yao: *laughing* Seems like he's in a crisis. No. I helped Wen Yuan acquire his sect.
Tianlang jun: How dare Ruoruo disobey the emperor. A-Shi, I would never do such a thing you know.
I heard him asking Sisi if he's a piece of meat.
Xiaobao: Oh shit.
Sisi: It's just a phase.
Yao: Yes. It will go away.
A-Niang, Song'er will be co-hosting once again.
Meng Shi: As he should. Song'er is our future Huangdi.
The Meng Meeting room 📍~ the stately conference hall where the Mengs meet and discuss their family matters.
Firstly, one of Taihua's selective suitors was here with his family. He's Long Haoren, the future emperor of the BaiLong dragon clan. Being the envoy he is, Meng Rongjiu was the first to meet them.
There's Long Xihui Huangdi, his wife Zhu Huanghou, and their sons, Long Haoren and Long Haoxun (they have more children by the way). The anesthetic of the longs are silky white with turquoise ornaments, whereas they're excellent at manipulating water.
But other than being dragons, they're still cultivators.
After the prospective match, Long Haoren and Taihua would mingle a bit until they're ready to get serious.
Long Xihui: Meng Huangdi. Why have you summoned us all of a sudden?
Haoren: Is Gongzhu back?
Zhu Huanghou: Ren'er! Don't be rude!
Yao: It's fine. Nothing is wrong with eagerness. Hua Gongzhu will arrive in the evening.
Zhu Huanghou: Well that's good.
I would love to see Meng Guifei.
Qin Su: Meng Huanghou to be precise. Huangdi wishes that Taihua becomes the highest ranking concubine.
Zhu Huanghou: Meng Huanghou. Thank you for the correction.
Haoxun: *whispers* Better tell Xin'er to leave. Or was it Yichen?
Haoren: Shh!
Xihui: *clears throat* Like every Taizi, my son also has his concubines.
Yao: Mhm. I believe they're treated well.
Xihui: Of course! Of course! Yes there are a lot of harem drama, but they're still tight knit.
But you haven't explained clearly. Your
Meng Gongzhu is going to be Nuwang. Where would our BaiLong empire stand with the Mengs?
Yao: They'll be allied with us. But must comply to Hua's rules if any.
Haoren: But Huangdi, you want me to listen to my wife? I mean, she's a trophy for me to look at.
Yao: Listening to your wife is the best thing you know. Companionship works wonders.
Zhu Huanghou: Aya, Haoren is still young. And he meant to say that Meng Taizifei is so pretty to admire. He had seen drawings of her already.
Haoxun: I'm more open minded! Don't listen to him, Huangdi.
Yao: *smiles*
Haoren: You're not the heir.
Yao: Long Huangdi, I wanted to tell you that I'm calling off the alliance.
Long Xihui: What? You're calling it off?
Haoren: Did I say or do anything wrong?
Zhu Huanghou: Of course you did! You can't keep your mouth shut!
Meng Shi: Please calm down, Zhu Huanghou. And let the emperor speak.
Yao: It seems like Taihua Gongzhu likes someone else. Well, it's speculated.
Zhu Huanghou: Now who could that be?!
Yao: My daughter is pretty. Obviously she'll have her suitors, and her type.
Haoren: That's so unfair! That's so so unfair!! I will kill that person who took Gongzhu's heart!
Yao: I forbid you!
Long Xihui: *sighs in fustration* Haoren, what kind of behavior is this! Sit down! You're not at home!
Meng Shi: Do you have a family secret you're hiding from us?
Yao: Seimei had told me all about it.
Well, only half.
Zhu Huanghou: *trembling* Huang, he's in contact with Seimei!
We're doomed.
Long Xihui: Well. Obviously my dear.
Meng Huangdi, it's ok if Gongzhu likes someone else.
Our secret is that someone attempted Haoren at birth. Though he survived, he can die or qi deviate at any time.
We're hoping that some harem member produces an heir for him, and end his suffering.
Haoren: A-Die, how am I suffering! I'm perfectly fine!
Yao: Oh my goodness. That's quite tragic.
I'm so sorry.
I don't think that's ideal for Hua.
Or ideal for anyone. Turmoil needs strength.
Zhu Huanghou: Yes, and the harem can be competitive at times. I was just a consort who replaced the actual empress. Poor poor Wei Huanghou.
Yao: Yes. It's a hell of a thing. I'm glad that my harem are just repressed simps.
As speculated, Zhu Huanghou jad probably killed the former empress, and wanted to kill her baby too. Haoxun is Zhu Huanghou's biological son. No one knows that! But Long Xihui only knows half.
Yao: Haoren, though just a teen, I wish you get your justice.
Stay safe, ok.
Haoren: Thanks Huangdi. Now who to marry? Any hot hulijings around?
Yao: Plenty. But you must focus on your health first.
Long Xihui: Thanks for having us, Huangdi. And I know my secret is safe with you.
Yao: Absolutely. Hope we keep in contact.
~~~
A half an hour later, Mingfan enters with Shen Jiu.
Mingfan: Heh...greetings Imperial Mengs.
Shen jiu: Good job at not freaking out. *rolls eyes* Greetings Meng Huangdi. Taihou, and Qin Huanghou. You're looking very gorgeous today.
Mingfan: Do I say the same thing, Shizun?
Shen Jiu: no.
Huangdi, I've told you about Mingfan's fondness for your son. Now here he is, to answer your questions.
Yao: Mingfan, it's so nice to see you.
Mingfan: It's nice to see you too, Huangdi.
Yao: It's always nice to see me. According to my subjects, harem and team dimple.
Almost glorious.
Anyways, you love my son?
Mingfan: Yeaa, I have a crush on him.
And I'm a perfect concubine candidate! I can play the guqin, and do cultivation. Taizi said that he likes me already.
Qin Su: Do you understand Rusong's role? Do you respect him? I don't see you pampering him or falling at his feet.
Mingfan: I'll do that in due course, Huanghou. But honestly I dont know how to be a concubine.
Qin su: Neither does Jiang cheng.
Mingfan: I understand his role entirely!
He's Taizi Dianxia and the Laoling Qin sect leader.
Yao: Ah, you have a lot of understanding.
Good job.
Meng Shi: You're completely different from Yingying. But once Rusong likes you as his concubine and you're willing to learn, then so be it.
Yingying will teach you.
Mingfan: Right after she beats me up.
Meng Shi: Yingying? Aw no! She could never hurt a fly.
Qin Su: She's so refined and poised. Yingying is the sweetest little thing.
Yao: Mn. She's devoted to Song'er. And they make a good pair. Well, it's expected from a student of Shen Jiu.
Mingfan: I'm a student of Shizun too. I promise not to let the Mengs down.
Yao: No need to reassure me.
Mingfan: *kowtows* Thank you Huangdi. May you live long and get grey.
Yao: *laughs* I feel like I'm getting grey already, my dear. But I let my servants dye it.
Mingfan: Aww, Huangdi. You're well pampered.
Yao: As i should be.
Mingfan: Your hat can cover it up.
Yao: *cracks up* Oh really?! You're very smart.
Meng Shi: I believe i should go fully grey! Yes, I'm a goddess, but I would love to embrace greys.
Yao: That's excellent, A-niang. You'll you'll look ethereal and timeless.
Meng Shi: You think?!
Well then. I'll do it soon.
Mingfan, you're a trendsetter
Qin Su: Quite fashionable for Song'er.
Yao: Song'er's harem must have their own image and trends, and you're fitting in well already.
Mingfan: *shy* What did I do? Anyways thank you, Huangdi. You don't need to flatter me.
Yao: You showed me your charm. I hope that you and Song'er get close. And make sure to please him.
You're in fact a concubine.
Mingfan: I feel like I can do anything for him. H..he's so dreamy.
I think he had seduced me. With the Meng effect. He plucked my core with his eyes.
Yao: Oh did he?
Qin Su: So that's what Songsong has been doing.
Meng Shi: My baby is innocent, Mingfan.
Mingfan: *blushing* Of course he is, Taihou.
Yao: You're approved by us. I don't see a reason not to.
Lord Shen, you're amazing.
Shen jiu: Thank you Huangdi. I'll provide the best of the best for you and your family.
Yao: You're such a darling.
Mingfan: So what now?
Yao: I guess you should go to Pine Pavillion and spend time with Rusong.
Mingfan: Hehe, good idea!
Thanks again Huangdi! I'll take your leave.
Yao: *smile* Nice meeting you.
Eunuch Li: Hua Gongzhu and Jinfeng Zun have arrived, Huangdi.
Yao: Oh that's amazing!
Fuying, Xiying. Have the staff prepare food for them at the banquet hall. *stood up*
Fuying: As you wish, Huangdi.
~~~
Later at Pine Pavillion 📍.
Ouyang Zizhen: Well obviously I'm not surprised, Dianxia. Who doesn't think you're hot.
Rusong: I'm quite fond of his simping and flustered behavior.
Like can he relax.
Ning Yingying: He was always a nerd. And he loves to show his dominance by bullying Shizun's students.
All in all, he's still loyal.
Rusong: Hmm. I'll tame him alright.
A-Qing: You already did, Rusong. He's a big simp now.
Rusong: He'll fit in perfectly with you three.
Ouyang Zizhen: Is he a part of team dimple 2.0?
Rusong: *laughing* He can try to be.
Yanqing: Am I part of team dimple 2.0? Dianxia?
Rusong: Technically, everyone who's a part of my court in Pine Pavillion is a part of team d 2.0.
I should have my own style.
Yanqing: Awwwww, Dianxia.
Underneath Meng Huangdi and his court (or inner circle) rather, there's Rusong's. They would listen to and support him, but they all still abide by Huangdi's regime. As Taizi, Rusong was encouraged to make his own links within the Jianghu.
Fortunately, this means that Meng Yao has absolute trust in his son.
Mingfan: *Enters* Dianxia.
Rusong: *smiling* Mingfan! You've met my family! Did they approve of you?
Mingfan: Yes! The Mengs love me.
But they were crazy about you, Shimei.
Ning Yingying: Aw, they mentioned me?
Rusong: Obviously, my dear. You're iconic.
Ning Yingying: *blush*
Ouyang Zizhen: Are you a clan leader?
Did you spend your money on Rusong Taizi Dianxia yet.
Mingfan: What does being a clan leader have to do with anything! And i will definitely spend my money on Dianxia.
Ouyang Zizhen: I rent out restaurants for him, so that he can be comfortable in Baling.
Mingfan: *scoffs* You think you're the only rich concubine.
Ning Yingying: Mingfan, we're all rich.
Rusong: Aha, no need to fight over me.
Even though it's entertaining. You know what. Do it some more.
Mingfan: pfft! I can do that too.
I heard that Baling doesn't have good quality restaurants.
Ouyang Zizhen: Of course there is! Now stop criticizing my beloved sect please!
Ning Yingying: Shizun was right.
Too much testosterone makes them fight.
A-Qing: It makes them more of a simp.
I'm afraid Rusong Dianxia is too sexy for this world.
Ning Yingying: *laughs* he'll cause a riot.
Ouyang Zizhen: At least we can agree on that.
Mingfan: Mn, he has beautiful genes.
Rusong: The way you all flatter me. Mingfan, you should night hunt with us some time.
Rusong: Hey, time always waits for us Mengs. It's It's just me.
Spill the tea.
Gongyi Xiao: Dianxia, I wanted to focus on my work and service to you. Having a crush on Gongzhu might strain my relationship with you and hurt her honour.
Rusong: You're very loyal and chivalrous for that, Jinfeng zun. But I think you should pay more attention to my sister.
Taihua: Gongyi Xiao. *smiles*
Is this a dream.
Rusong: Nop. Hua, it's ok to have a crush. You two were already dazzling at my party.
And A-Die and Nainai already picked up.
Taihua: Yea.
Rusong: Gongyi Xiao is always quite respectable.
Taihua: That's why i like him.
He's very friendly and upright. Just like how a clan leader is supposed to be..
Gongyi Xiao: I promise to take care of her, and keep her in mind.
Taihua: So I wasnt always on your mind?
Gongyi Xiao: You are, Gongzhu. I didn't mean it like that.
Taihua: *Laughs* You always have good intentions.
But Song ge, do you like that nerdy Mingfan?
Rusong: Hm, at first it was more platonic. But it seems that I have accidentally seduced him.
Taihua: Haha! I thought he only loves his Shizun.
Rusong: I thought so too.
Guess he was overwhelmed by my allure.
Taihua: Like everyone in your harem.
Rusong: Quite.
Taihua: See you later Song ge.
Rusong: Bye, my dear. Have a good journey, ok?.
Taihua: Will do!
Afterwards, Gongyi Xiao stretched out his hand to help her into the caravan. Then both fond eyes locked for a moment.
Gongyi Xiao: I still can't believe you have a crush on me. Do you really?
Taihua: And what about you? *puts her hand in his* I cherish you.
Gongyi Xiao: I cherish you too.
They were then off on their journey. However, their caravan will soon enter into a teleportation area, which are roads invented by Moling Su to assist in the teleportation of traffic.
Even though they were traveling for an hour and a half, it felt like a day.
Gongyi Xiao: Gongzhu, why would people even want a teleportation road. Do they not fly on their swords?
Taihua: Of course they do. But the teleportation arrays were Su Xiandu's prized project. A-Die made sure to fund it and make it happen.
Gongyi Xiao: Ohh.
That's brilliant.
Taihua: How isn't your sect called Gongyi? Were you adopted? Not that it matters!
I was just asking.
Gongyi Xiao: We don't inherit names like your clans here. So our original surnames are kept.
Taihua: That's so unique. Our clans here are heavily influenced by family. Hence the clan name is strictly given to family members. Their peripherals and guests will keep their name.
Thanks to Wen Mao.
Gongyi Xiao: You're intelligent. Your clans are well structured, but why must they segregate like that. Don't you think it's a little savage?
Taihua: Mnn, maybe. Nobody pays mind. And we must know who's who.
Gongyi Xiao: Didn't Huangdi end classism?
Taihua: Yes. Among rich gentry cultivators and less fortunate. He gave them jobs, protected them, gave them a gentry status, and funded their education. Putting then on the same level as famous cultivators.
You're asking me about a traditional clan structure. It's more hierarchical.
Gongyi Xiao: Ohh. My bad! I got confused.
Taihua: No problem. You'll get the hang. of it.
Gongyi Xiao: You're here to teach me.
Taihua: Absolutely.
Gongyi Xiao: Was there an instance where an outsider took the clan?
Taihua: Rarely. But that's only if there are no surviving family members, or there was an arrangement made among sworn brothers.
~
Moling 📍
Taihua and her guest, Gongyi Xiao, arrived at the Moling Su headquarters where they were heartedly greeted by the Moling Su sect members, Su Minshan and SuYin.
Taihua: Accept my greetings, Su Xiandu.
Gongyi Xiao: *bows*
Su She: Greetings. Make yourselves comfortable.
Taihua: Thank you.
Suyin: We were eagerly waiting for you to arrive! You used the teleportation road right?
Taihua: Yes. And I thought I've arrived swiftly.
Su she: Ah, don't listen to him, Hua.
He was just excited. Overly excited.
Taihua: I see.
Su she: I was also overly excited to welcome you, but I must focus on making you comfortable.
My beloved
Su she: Jinfeng zun, glad to see you. Huangdi had praised you on a few occasions.
Gongyi Xiao: Oh, he did? I'm happy to hear that I was a topic for discussion.
Su she: Huangdi said that you're close friends with Hua and Rusong, so i wasn't surprised to see you.
Gongyi Xiao: I'm really honored.
Hereafter, they all had a seat at the Su conference hall and began their conversation. Taihua Gongzhu however was in her element! She's going to learn about her role. And adding to that, her crush was by her side.
Su She: Our Moling Su own over 35 provinces and 80 districts, 10 subsidiaries and four grand
watchtowers. Our watchtowers are named Lianfang, MengYao, Ziyao and JinZong.
Each of our provinces has magistrates and city lords, who are peripherals of Moling Su or families of our close allies.
Currently, the sect oversees the running of the cities, while we do or cultivation and night hunting.
Taihua: You have so much on your plate. And I find it remarkable that your sect started from a mere subordinate to a well networked powerhouse.
Su she: Thanks to Huangdi of course.
He had helped me generously. And he treats me so well.
I'm the closest to my Huangdi, and I'm his servant. No one else will have that honour.
Taihua: That's amazing. And your loyalty made you a legend.
Su she: *laughs* Me. A legend?!
Don't flatter me.
Hua, if you're our Nuwang, some weight would be lifted off our shoulders. It also falls in line with Huangdi's edict.
He wants all his children to rule some faction of the Jianghu. Taizi becomes emperor and the rest of siblings will have their dominion under him.
Taihua: Understood. Adie had explained to me. I'm honoured to be your Nuwang some day.
But what will I do?
Su she: You're too rule and guide, and make sure everyone gets proper welfare. We will remain as a cultivation sect
Taihua: Ohh. And I hope you remain as powerful.
Su she: I will, Hua. Don't worry. But i don't need power, once I'm close to Huangdi.
Taihua: Aw.
Suyin: Gongzhu, I shall be the median between your court and Moling Su. You can ask me anything, or give me a request.
Taihua: I'll keep you in mind.
Su she: there's a mansion in Moling, that was a gift from Huangdi to Rusong Dianxia. I believe it will be passed to you next.
Taihua: *mischievous* as it should, Su Xiandu.
That would be lovely!
Su she: Yes, Hua Nuwang.
Taihua: Haha, I'm not Nuwang just yet.
Su she: I must practice from now.
Taihua: As you wish.
Now tell me about concubines and court members. I would like more women in my court.
Su she: You can make anyone a concubine. Just like Taizi or any Meng.
Do as you like.
You can have a selection for your harem members, and court members normally take an imperial exam.
Adding to that, your concubines will have the titles Meng Furen and guifei, despite being men, amd your offspring will inherit the Meng surname.
Taihua: Oh how cool!
And my key Wangfu would be Meng Furen too? *winks at Gongyi Xiao*
Su she: Technically, yes.
Gongyi Xiao: *chuckles quietly*
Taihua: Thanks for explaining.
Su she: Please, I insist you to take a tour through our residence after we're done.
I'll tell you about our clan's history after lunch.
Taihua: Sounds perfect.
.
Meanwhile in Jing Manor's shady, outdoor seating area, Rusong sits and sips tea while waiting for Mingfan.
He had requested (probably ordered) Mingfan to meet him and have a discussion.
Mingfan: *nervous* T...T...t...t..
Rusong: Ttttt? Mingfan, relax.
Yanqing: You're just simping over the gorgeous Rusong Taizi. No big deal.
Mingfan: Why are you gaslighting me?
Anyways, Dianxia, you know?! How did you find out?!
Rusong: Shizun! Well, it wasn't no fault of mine. He was talking to A-Die and I happened to be in the room.
*props his head on his hand* So. You think I'm hot?
Mingfan: *avoids eye contact*
Yanqing: Oi, simp! Dianxia asked you a question!
Mingfan: I think you you're very very attractive, Taizi.
Rusong: Ahh. Understood.
Mingfan: And I feel seduced. Shizun says that the Meng effect is real!
Rusong: Seduced? I was listening to you play the guqin. Huh, Yingying maybe flipped when she found out.
Mingfan: Yea, she almost punched me, and she made it clear that I won't be a rank higher than her.
Rusong: Aww. You two are fighting over me already.
Yanqing, am I that hot?
Yanqing: Of course, Dianxia. You're like a beautifully carved Jade.
Mingfan: True.
Rusong: I like you, Mingfan. You'll make a marvelous addition to my harem.
Mingfan: Of course i will make a good concubine.
Anything to please and be around you.
However, I'm not as graceful.
Rusong: I'm sure you'll learn from observation.
Ning Yingying: *enters* Dianxia. *bow*
Rusong: My dear A-Ying. *kisses her cheek*
Ning Yingying: *blushing*
Shixiong, are you trying to steal Dianxia again?!
Mingfan: He had just added me to his harem.
Rusong: Don't worry, Yingying. He will be at a lower rank than you, and he won't replace you.
Ning Yingying: Thanks for reassuring me, Dianxia.
Rusong: *cups face*
...
Moling 📍.
Meanwhile, Taihua and Gongyi Xiao were still walking through the halls and admiring the art and artifacts on display.
Gongyi Xiao: *softly glares st her* So Gongzhu has a crush on me.
Taihua: Mn. You're my type!
Gongyi Xiao: Well judging from your dad's type, I totally see it.
Taihua: What's that supposed to mean?
Gongyi Xiao: He's surrounded by a harem of clan leaders, also the empress is the daughter of a clan leader.
Taihua: *laughing* Noo it's not because of that!
You're well refined, talented, and a joy to be around! No words can explain how I feel.
Gongyi Xiao: You have the world's cutest dimples.
Taihua: Jinfeng zun. Tell me about your crush.
Gongyi Xiao: I couldn't stop thinking about you.
And I've drawn you before.
Taihua: You have?! I want to see!
Gongyi Xiao: Very soon, Gongzhu.
Taihua: Awww.
The new couple stopped for a while to just stare into each other's eyes, then they slipped into an empty room and continued their montage. Taihua was completely lost, while Gongyi Xiao hesitated to touch her face affectionately.
Taihua: *Kisses his hand which was frozen in the air* It's alright.
You won't dishonour me, because being loved by you is the greatest honour.
Gongyi Xiao: I feel put on a pedestal.
Gongzhu, I thought it was impossible.
Taihua: It is possible! I really like you, Gongyi Xiao!
Gongyi Xiao: I like you too, Hua. I can call you Hua, right?
Taihua: Please do!
*caresses his face* You look much cuter when you confessed your feelings.
Gongyi Xiao: Oh really?
Taihua: Hm.
Gongyi xiao, do you think we're rushing into a relationship?
Gongyi Xiao: Not at all.
We've only confessed. I guess we should build our relationship by hanging out more.
Taihua: I like that!
I really want to be with you more often.
Gongyi Xiao: *hugs her tightly close to his chest*
Taihua: Xiao. I feel like I'm dreaming.
Gongyi Xiao: Same.
Taihua: Tonight I'll be unable to sleep. Why don't you sneak in?
Gongyi Xiao: Hua darling, what if Su Xiandu spies on us?
Taihua: Nah, that won't happen. I won't let him.
Su Xiandu has better things to do, and his sect members will never.
Rusong was in his study, waiting for Ning Yingying to come play the guqin. She normally comes and play, to make him relax after hours of paperwork and reading. All three concubines have different tasks to serve Rusong in Pine Pavillion. A-Qing is his main wife, who does marital duties as well as take care of the mansion and be a hostess. Ning Yingying plays music for him and makes sure he appeased and relaxed. And Ouyang Zizhen is just a loyal companion and cultivation partner.
Unfortunately, Ning Yingying was on her period and can't come play for him, so she sent Mingfan to play the guqin for him in her place.
Anyways, in the meantime, Rusong was talking to Gongyi Xiao.
Rusong: You're doing a good job! But do you still wish to be a cultivation level cloud knight? I don't want you to leave Laoling or Pine Pavillion.
Gongyi Xiao: Actually, Taizi, I was thinking of setting up a base in Laoling. I'll work on some cloud knight stuff for 5 months and then resign. Then I'll be all yours
Rusong: Oh ok. I see.
That will definitely work.
Gongyi Xiao: Anything for my Taizi Dianxia.
(And Hua. I don't want to leave her)
Rusong: Jinfeng zun. I'm sorry for talking to you so harshly. Bai Renshou's identity is a secret, and I can't have people poking their noses in.
Gongyi Xiao: Understood.
I should've remembered my boundaries.
Rusong: It's fine.
Gongyi Xiao: You'll make a firm Huangdi.
Rusong: *chuckles* You think?!
Gongyi Xiao: Certainly.
Rusong: Jinfeng zun.
Gongyi Xiao: Taizi?
Rusong: Do you have a crush on anyone? Anyone you see in my court?
Gongyi Xiao: *startled by the question*
I will tell you very soon. Right now I don't know about my feelings.
Rusong: You look compatible with Hua.
Gongyi Xiao: Oh you think so? Gongzhu is a delight.
Rusong: Mn.
Kohaku: Dianxia, The tea was delivered to Ning Guifei.
Rusong: *smile* Thank you dear.
Gongyi Xiao: Do you have anything else to tell me, Dianxia? Pertaining to work or something.
Rusong: That was all, Jinfeng zun. Thank you.
Gongyi Xiao: *bows*
Rusong: Take care.
Gongyi Xiao: Thank you.
...
Mingfan: *enters with a guqin* Greetings Taizi Dianxia.
Rusong: Mingfan?
Mingfan: Ning Yingying has girl issues, so she told me to play the guqin for you in her place.
Rusong: Aww! How sweet! *opens fan* You've learnt from the best, so I won't doubt your skills.
Mingfan: That's true! Shizun is the best guqin player you can have!
Rusong: Shall we do this in the lounge area? *stood up, then glided elegantly across the room*
Kohaku and Yanqing: *follows him*
Mingfan: Yes Dianxia.
*looks at him* (Huh. Why am I just noticing his beauty. Ning Yingying has good taste.
And he's so polite)
Rusong: Mingfan, are you coming?
Mingfan: Y...yes! Taizi!
Rusong: *reclines and made his fox tails appear* Ah!
Attendants: Taizi, have sone grapes.
Rusong: Thank you!
Mingfan: (everyone worships him. I...I wonder how it's like to be a concubine? I want him to command me.)
Rusong: *glares*
Mingfan: *startled* Ah yes! Guqin! I forgot.
Sorry, Dianxia.
Rusong: Are my tails distracting you?
Mingfan: Not at all. I just zone out sometimes.
Your hulijing features are incomparable.
Rusong: Thank you, Mingfan.
Mingfan: *began to play the guqin*
A-Qing: *enters* Dianxia.
Rusong: My love.
A-Qing: *kisses him deeply, then snuggles in his arms* Why is Mingfan playing for you?
Did you seduce him?
Rusong: I won't do such a thing.
It's his choice whether to be seduced or not. He's filling in for Yingying.
Mingfan: (I do feel seduced)
A-Qing: That's impossible when you're a Meng.
Rusong: Oh isn't that so, my darling wife.
A-Qing: Yup.
Rusong, He's also not a part of team dimple 2.0.
Rusong: *laughing* What?
A-Qing: what?
Mingfan: *blushing*
Rusong: You play marvelously!
Mingfan: *coughs* Of course I do. Thank you, Taizi!
Rusong: Mn.
Attendants: *brushing his fox tails*
Mingfan: What's next, Taizi? Are you relaxed?
Rusong: Yep. Play another song.
And please, stay back for refreshments.
Mingfan: As you wish. *turns red*
Rusong: *glares softly*
Though openly calm, Mingfan was internally flustered. Rusong is dashing and glamorous, and has an imperial aura about him. He's sitting proudly while being attended to by servants and his wife.
Mingfan tries his best not to pull a wrong string, which may ruin the song and cause embarrassment. Rusong may laugh or pity him if that happens and he would get more flustered.
Ahh Ning Yingying is the luckiest person in the world.
Mingfan: *stops playing*
Rusong: *claps* Marvelous again! I'm miced by your music.
Wine or tea?
Mingfan: Pardon?
Rusong: I'll order refreshments for you. What are you drinking? And please, have some roasted duck.
Mingfan: You're too kind, Dianxia.
I'll have some green tea.
Rusong: good choice.
Rusong stands, and his adoring attendants fixed his garments, then he walked over to Mingfan and gave him a pink jade pendant with an Obsidian bead. This immediately made Mingfan's heart race!
Mingfan: (A priceless gift from Taizi! This has never happened before?! Do I bow? Do I kowtow?! Does he love me?!)
Rusong: This is for my dear Yingying. I can feel her love through her music.
Mingfan: For Yingying?!
Rusong: Yes. You played on her behalf.
Mingfan: Ahahahaha! Right! You're right! Of course you're right, because you're Taizi Dianxia. Hehe. The heir. Don't behead me.
Rusong: What's up with you?
Mingfan: Nothing. I'm perfectly fine.
I will deliver this to Shimei.
Rusong: Thank you.
Please, have a seat. Your refreshments are here.
Mingfan: Yes Dianxia.
You're very kind to me.
Rusong: Of course i will be.
~~~~~
A few days later, at Qing Jing Mansion, Shen Jiu's Jing Manor's residence, Mingfan was reading but it seemed like nothing was registering in his brain.
Shen Jiu: *stops and gives him a concerned glare* What is up with you today
Mingfan: I'm normal, Shizun!
Shen Jiu: No you're not. You're staring at your book, just earlier you forgot your sword home before heading to a night hunt.
Mingfan: Nah, Shizun. I was a bit tired these days. That's all.
Shen Jiu: that's unlike you.
Mingfan, tell me the truth. Or else I'll drug you.
Mingfan: Oh no, Shizun! Not the truth serum!
Shen Jiu: Spill then.
Where were you on Tuesday? You were normal a week ago.
Mingfan: I was playing the guqin for Taizi, on the behalf of Ning Shimei.
Shen Jiu: Oh really?!
*closes fan* spill.
Mingfan: Shizun, is the Meng effect real?
Shen Jiu: Obviously, Mingfan. What happened? Which Meng seduced you? Taizi did?
I feel like such a proud parent!
Mingfan: When I played the guqin for him, I became completely infatuated.
Shen Jiu: Wowwww. Well I saw that coming actually.
Ning Yingying: Hold up! I told you to play the guqin for him on my behalf! But you're planning to take my Dianxia away from me?! Shizun!!!
Mingfan: Shimei! I didn't propose to him. And I delivered his pendent!
Ning Yingying: And what else?!! Stop playing innocent!
Mingfan: I just said that he's gorgeous, and he's free to step on me. I would be a concubine without taking your place!
*gasps* The Meng effect!
Ning Yingying: Shixiong!!
Shen Jiu: Oh my god. Someone's in love!
Someone wants to be a concubine
My two students are fighting over Taizi Dianxia! Ahahaha!!! This is too good! Too marvelous!
Mingfan: I think I have a crush.
But i don't want to progress with it. Shi Mei turned me down and laughed in my face. I had a crush on Ning Yingying but she ignored me.
I can't have my heart broken again, and I'm not good at flirting.
Ning Yingying: I just wasn't interested in you, Shixiong. Forget about it.
Shen Jiu: You don't need to flirt. And you shouldn't give up. Give Taizi a chance.
Mingfan: Sometimes i feel rejected by everyone. Sometimes by you.
Shen Jiu: Oh no, Mingfan. I deeply care about you. And I cherish the gifts given to me by your family.
They have some rich tea leaves.
Mingfan: It feels nice hearing that.
But what is wrong with me? Why do I keep falling in love? I'm a cultivator.
Shen Jiu: So what? Cultivators can't fall in love?
You're a man surrounded by gorgeous people. Obviously you'll have a couple crushes.
Mingfan: Mn.
Ning Yingying: Surrounded by my darling Taizi Dianxia. *sniffles*
Shen Jiu: Do you want me to promote you? I have a very high influence in Huangdi's imperial court.
Mingfan: Thank you, Shizun!!
Shen Jiu: I'm so happy for you.
And this shall please the emperor. You're overly qualified.
Mingfan: You're the best!
Ning Yingying: But you better not cramp my style.
Mingfan: Promise. And I'll be a rank lower than you.
Ning Yingying: That sounds good.
First is Taizifei, then Ouyang guifei and then me. You see, Ouyang Zizhen is a clan leader so.
Mingfan: I see. Shizun, Taizifei had already told me I'm not a part of team dimple 2.0. What's does she mean by that.
Shen Jiu: The influence of team dimple, obviously. Don't worry.
They just want the spotlight.
Taizifei is an icon, anyways.
Mingfan: Got it! Now how to be a concubine.
Ning Yingying: It's just like having a boyfriend. But he's a prince and future emperor.
No pressure.
Mingfan: Huh.
Ning Yingying: But he's chill.
Mingfan: And dreamy!
~~
Meanwhile, Taihua going to meet her family at the lounge area in Jing Manor, until she was greeted by her crush. This is absolutely perfect timing, as she wished to have him involved in something.
Taihua: Jinfeng zun!
Gongyi Xiao: Gongzhu. In a hurry?
Taihua: Not at all. I'm just going to meet A-Die.
Tomorrow, I'm supposed to visit Moling to meet the Su clan.
Gongyi Xiao: That's great.
Taihua: What about you?
Gongyi Xiao: I was heading to evening coaching
Taihua: Ah.
Gongyi Xiao: I'm planning on being a cloud knight for 5 months, then I'll return to working directly under Taizi.
Taihua: Does that mean you're leaving for one of those flagships??
I'm afraid I might miss you.
Gongyi Xiao: Not at all. I'll set up a base in Laoling.
Taihua: You will need funding. I'll organise one for you.
Gongyi Xiao: That's not necessary. Because Taizi would make arrangements.
You're too kind.
Taihua: Good then.
Jinfeng zun, I would like you to accompany me to Moling.
Gongyi Xiao: You do? I'm absolutely honored. Sure.
Taihua: But I want you to relax a bit. You're not out with Taizi. You're with me.
Gongyi Xiao: Aw. As you wish.
Taihua: come. We must tell A-Die.
Gongyi Xiao: You're open about your feelings. I admire that.
Taihua: Of course.
I was like that since I was a child. And I would get what I want.
Gongyi Xiao: Oh waw. Princess privileges.
Taihua: Mhm.
•
Lounge area📍
Shen Jiu: Huangdi, I've found another concubine for Taizi!
Yao: Ah! The more the merrier! And I have my full trust in you.
Qin su: Are they like Yingying? She's such a dear.
Meng Shi: I hope it's not Gongyi Xiao. He looks like he's only devoted to Song'er as an equerry. We can't rush things.
Mingfan: No no. Don't worry. It's not Gongyi Xiao, and yes he's quite fiery little thing. Fortunately his loyalty has no bounds.
Qin su: I see.
Xiaobao: Congrats, dimples.
Rusong: I don't know who it is yet.
Xiaobao: Congrats in advance, dimples.
Shen Jiu: Mingfan.
Rusong: Him?! No wonder he was acting weird.
Yao: Mingfan. Your dear student.
Well, we must evaluate him.
Meng Shi: Hmm. Well he's submissive enough.
Qin su: Does he come from a good family?
Shen Jiu: Yup. His family is wealthy. But not as wealthy as the Qins.
They're like Qinghe Nie level of wealth.
And he is a talented student.
Yao: I rather him be a clan leader. Why didn't you seduce another clan leader, A-Song.
Rusong: I don't know, A-Die. He was playing the guzheng for me, but he was flustered the whole time.
I will look for a clan leader in the future
Meng Shi: *sigh* Rusong. Stop seducing people.
Rusong: I can't help it, Nainai. *pouts*
Yao: Oh Song'er. You're a Meng at heart.
Xiaobao: Song ge is seducing the whole empire! But I agree with A-Die. Get a clan leader.
Yao: Song'er, you're something else. What do you think about him?
Rusong: He's entertaining! But we haven't been on a date or anything.
Yao: I see. I see. Well your choice is yours.
Rusong: Yes A-Die.
A new addition to my harem would be lovely, to be honest. But I plan to do my own evaluation.
Yao: You should always go for the loyal and resourceful ones. They'll help you with everything.
Shen Jiu: Huangdi, Mingfan is like an acting peak lord. When I'm busy at court or whatever, he supervises.
He doesn't do a good job at it, but.
Yao: Doesn't do a good job?
Shsn Jiu: He does, but he's just openly bossy.
Yao: Oh.
.
Taihua: *enters with Gongyi Xiao* Greetings A-Die.
Gongyi Xiao: Greetings Huangdi.
Yao: Taihua! My dear. Are you ready for your trip tomorrow?
Taihua: Yes, A-Die.
Yao: Brilliant. You will be absolutely brilliant, and would learn a lot from Minshan and Suyin.
Taihua: What do they think about me being their Nuwang? Do the Su sect control the entire province?
Yao: They're elated. Remember, they're my closest men.
Moling is indeed controlled by the Moling Su sect.
Taihua: Mn. I can't wait.
Qin Su: Baby, the Sus will tell you everything. Listen to them.
Taihua: Will do, A-Niang.
Qin Su: And know that you're a Meng.
Meng Shi: I hope that Jinfeng zun has a day off, so that you two can spend some time.
This is such an adorable pairing.
Taihua: Nainai.
Gongyi Xiao: ah, thank you Taihou. Actually--
Xiaobao: Awwwwww!!! I know right. Nainai has the best taste!
Taihua: Nainai, i was going to ask A-Die permission, to bring a guest.
Yao: I've always admired your pairing. And Jinfeng zun is well mannered.
Qin Su: A clan leader (*teasing the emperor*)
Yao: Go ahead, Hua. Carry him with you.
Taihua: Thank you, A-Die!!
You're the best! *kisses his cheek*
Yao: I always am.
Rusong: But i do agree that it's a good pairing.
Xiaobao: Match made in heaven!
Meng Shi: Exactly.
Yao: We'll keep an eye on the progress.
Gongyi Xiao: Huangdi, I'm honoured to receive such fondness from you and your family.
Yao: No problem. We treat all our allies like family anyways.
Shen Jiu: (did I just unlock a new ship. Gongyi Xiao is smooth for that. Or is it the Meng effect again.)

When Guzi was dragged in by fox spirit guards, Meng Yao quickly recognized him. However, he wasn't at all surprised by his peripheral henchman's son became rogue, as he saw these kinds of scenarios before.
Guzi: *grins* Huxian Meng Huangdi. Hulijing emperor with shrines across the land. Well, they're not as good as the one A-Die had built for you.
Yao: It's a pleasure seeing you. Though it's a disgraceful position.
Guzi: Mhm. Your Rusong is no fun. I offered to poison his enemies but he still insisted on locking me up. I love it when he's angry. He looks hotter.
Su she: Guzi, Qi Rong was in Huangdi's service! Don't drag his name in the mud!
Mo xuanyu: Your dad would be very disappointed!
Xue yang: Team d, team d. Let Jiggy and his sexy self talk. Before I show him how Lingchi is done.
Guzi: Oh my god. A-Qing wanted to Lingchi me too! Kinda weird that it happened twice.
Yao: Thank you, Chengmei.
Rusong doesn't need a hitman, nor a new one.
I've treated Qi Rong so well, and you dare challenge me?
Qi Rong: Aha, i know that, Huangdi. And i respect you too. I'm in need of your collection of turmoil.
That's just it. Is it that hard?
Yao: My turmoil is a mysterious and powerful art piece. Not anyone can get
Their hands on it.
Have you heard about the battle at the Nightless city, when everyone was trying to grab the Yin Iron. Some got stabbed or amputated in the process.
Guzi: So? I'm not like those lousy cultivators! And I fear nothing.
Yao: It's not a matter of being lousy cannon fodders. My score isn't a to. It will be passed on from Huangdi to Huangdi and nothing else. Meng to Meng. Su Minshan is an exception.
Guzi: Would it change if I knock up with dimple?
Yao: Leave my son alone.
Guzi: *laughs*
Rusong: *enters and greets Meng Yao* A-Die.
Guzi: *voice chimes* Dimples~ I was just talking about you.
Xue yang: Simp.
Su she: You did the same thing, to he honest.
Xue yang; I was better than that, Shanshan. Come on.
Rusong: Gui Gongye Guzi wants to seek revenge on the Jianghu for mistreating Qi Rong.
Yao: *glance softened*
Rusong: He was spat on and mistreated. Guzi thought that the collection of turmoil would help him.
Guzi: Oh you remember my backstory! How sweet!
Hearing the account, Yao Huangdi started analyzing and calculating Guzi's motives. Though standing his grounds and protecting one of the most powerful possessions of him, he started seeing himself in Guzi. He had done this before! He had done radical things in the name of Meng Shi and her status. He made sure that she, him and the Mengs get the resspect they deserve.
However, this hulijing wasn't quick to side with him. He can't rule by emotions.
Minshan, what did your spies find out?
Su she: The Yin group had also tried writing their own versions, but failed. They've written their scripts behind cabinets and on their undergarments.
Yao: Terrible! Have anyone tried using the corrupted versions then?
Su she: I heard that one of them had controlled a fierce corpse with it. But the corpse was only able to do acrobatics.
Some had used it and got sick. Their illness started off as a pollen allergy, then it gets worst over time.
Choking hiccups, coughing up blood and nightmares.
Yao: Ah, well that's expected, Shanshan.
Su she: Yes Huangdi.
They wrote and played it incorrectly.
Yao: And the original is sadly out of the question.
Su she: Rest assured, we didn't leave a trace of the corrupted scores, before someone tries to use it to their advantage again.
Guzi: Meng Huangdi's stooge! You've destroyed all my efforts! I would've tweaked it! I would've been able to seek revenge.
Su she: Your scheme for revenge violates Huangdi's most sacred edict.
Yao: Continue with your observations, Shanshan.
Guzi: Shanshan is such a cute name for someone with a fiesty attitude. Huh!
Su she: Xiandu to you.
Guzi: Shanshan Xiandu!
Su she: Huangdi, My spies had found some scripts in Siamese.
Yao: Siamese?? That's impressive.
I should try that myself. But I need a Siamese speaker.
Guzi: Sadly Shanshan killed one of my Siamese hitman.
He did the translations.
Yao: Other than that, Guzi. I understand the reason for your revenge plot, and would love to lend a helping hand. Without the collection of turmoil, got it?
Guzi: What could be better than the turmoil!
Yao: My imperial support, Guzi.
I'm the Turmoil's master.
Mo xuanyu: Why does Yao gege say the sexiest things?
Xue yang: Because he's sexy.
Rusong: Team dimple. *shakes head*
Yao: Here's what. I'll give you blades doused with my signature poison, the Golden String Poison, and some fox spirits who wish to be assasins.
Guzi: Ahh, an infantry! I love the sound of that. Can I have Rusong as a concubine.
Rusong: Dear, I'm Meng Taizi Dianxia. I collect concubines.
Guzi: That can work.
Rusong: *rolls eyes*
Guzi: what a sassy little prince.
Xue yang: Jiggy used to play hard to get just like this.
Yao: You'll be monitored, by the way. I've given you these things to help you grow powerfully.
You said you make poisons, correct?
Guzi: Yea! I offered to make them for Dimples, but he refused.
Yao: Maybe when he's ready.
Use your assets wisely. Yes, you can be sparingly dangerous. Sparingly, ok!
Remember, you're in my clasp.
Guzi: Got it, Huangdi. You're in control.
Yao: *smile* That's good.
Guzi: Ah. I forgot to add that my Siamese associate told me about Siamesse fox spirits. And how they're venerated.
They're said to help with love, affairs of the heart and fortune.
Other than your fox spirits who are venerated for a wide range of things.
Yao: Ohh. I haven't read up on them, honestly.
Thanks for sharing.
Guzi: Their fox spirit guardians are Nang Phaya Chingchok and Kao Hang. He's also known as Jing Jork Gao Hang.
Yao: They're very interesting
I will educate myself about Siamese culture and their scripts.
You're now dismissed.
Guzi: Oh my goodness, thank you! I was getting bored! Well not of you, but of my confinement.
And Dimples didn't even pay me a visit.
Yao: How unfortunate. *smiles* However you and Rusong have separate work to do. I hope we meet again, in a proper way.
Guzi: Yea, got to go, Huangdi.
*escorted out*
Rusong: What's up with him?
Yao: It happens to all of us Mengs.
*Sips tea*
Rusong: haha! I see that. That's why there's team dimple.
Yao: Qi Rong had always joked about me hiring his son as your servant.
Rusong: Oh really?
That's quite the coincidence. Probably I need a little chaos in my glamorous court, from time to time.
Yao: It heals the boredom.
Mo xuanyu: Are you going to add him then?
Rusong: not yet. I barely know him.
Xue yang: You know Songsong is a diva. He has to be a sassy Meng before anything else.
Mo xuanyu: Yea.
Xue yang: Jiggy, your Bai Renshou is eating my fierce corpses
Yao: Hmm. That may be a problem.
He shall eat some scraps. Like unwanted meat. As well as the fierce corpses with a low qi level. You, the ones that don't perform as you like.
Xue yang: Certainly, my emperor.
Mo Xuanyu: I put lipstick on him so that he would look cute.
Su she: He should look presentable for you, Huangdi.
Yao: Oh! Isn't that so. And you went through the trouble of doing his makeup.
Here's what, Yuyu. Do it again when I have to introduce him to my family.
Mo xuanyu: Got it, Yao gege!
Rusong: Nie Guifei is still a concubine. So the lipstick is ideal
Yao: Exactly.
Rusong: I await that scene!
A-Die, I'll take your leave.
Yao: See you later, A-Song. *smile*
Suddenly, his head Eunuch entered right after, with a plaque and eyes lowered to the floor, like always.
Yao: Oh speaking of concubine.
Eunuch Li: Greetings, Huangdi. Your mere servant requests you to select a concubine.
Yao: Trying to hook me up with a concubine again, Li?
Have we discussed this?
Eunuch Li: *laughing, knowing how playful his emperor is at times*
Your imperial majesty, your concubines wish to be blessed by you.
Yao: No wonder they've been squabbling! I'm the Emperor.
Eunuch Li: Heheh! You ARE the emperor.
Yao: Before upholding the peace of the empire, i must uphold the peace of my harem. And stop the squabble.
Eunuch Li: *presents the plaque*
How is team dimple so quiet?
Yao: They've learnt not to fight.
*smiles, then flips a plaque* I will spend my time with Qin Huanghou.
Eunuch Li: Excellent choice as always, Huangdi.
Yao: Mn. Of course the empress will be elated, because who wouldn't.
You said they're all fighting over me.
Eunuch Li: Yes Huangdi.
Yao: Right. I know so.
Please. Convey the message.
Eunuch Li: I will swiftly, Huangdi.
Yao: Ahh, Eunuch Li. Always trying to stop the harem drama by starting it.
~~~
Later in the night, at Fangfei Mansion, Qin Su and Meng Yao spent some quality and intimate time together. In addition, he had his fox tails out, which added to his majestic allure.
Yao: *affectionately tying Qin Su's hair in a fashionable knot. He had already gifted her diamonds earrings.*
Qin su: A-Yao, how are you so good at hairdressing?
Yao: Learnt from observation, dear.
I was constantly around women.
Qin Su: I'm not surprised.
Yao: *kisses her* Hmm, how come?
Qin Su: You're too gorgeous for your own good.
*pecks him on his dimple*
Yao: And what about you? You're too cute for your own good. *cups face*
Qin Su: *gets lost in his golden eyes. She kisses his hand and then deeply on the lips*
Yao: You're gift to me and my empire, A-Su. *lifts chin* Thank you for everything.
Qin Su: For what, Huangdi? I have only given you my support, my heart, my undying devotion and loyalty.
Yao: Exactly. Thank you for that.
Thereafter, the imperial couple
went to their balcony, where Qin Su carried a Yueqin in hand. The ambiance, as expected, was cool, calm and intimate. Just beforehand, Meng Yao had ordered his servants to place some wine near their balcony's seating area just to add another romantic touch.
Yao: You plan to serenade me, dear.
Qin Su: Yes Huangdi, while you have some wine.
Yao: Dear, the wine was catered for you as well.
Qin Su: Save some for me then, A-yao. After my service to you is done.
Sitting next to Huangdi will be my reward.
Yao: Aw! Darling.
A-Su, look at the view.
Qin Su: Ah yes, it's so beautiful and vast.
Yao: Indeed. That nosy Eunuch Li is probably in our courtyard, spying and wondering about the outcome of our date.
We've been doing this for years, and I always serve.
Qin Su: *laughing* You do a good job at it too. All clan leaders are in your submission!
Yao: *puts her hand in his* But rest assured my dear, I've locked the doors, and ordered Xiying and Fuying to guard them.
Qin Su: Good.
You and your nosy eunuchs.
Yao: Pay no mind to them.
Qin Su: They should have them beheaded for eavesdropping.
Yao: A-Su, they're entertaining. And I'm trying not to behead people.
Qin Su: But you look hot when you're fierce and ruthless.
Yao: Oh really, my empress. You like fire?
Qin Su: And excitement!
*She eases him lovingly into his seat*
Yao: I see.
Qin Su: Huangdi, be comfortable.
*sits and plays the Yueqin.
Yao: *sips wine* Hmn.
~~~
A few minutes later, Qin Su finished her song and knelt in the floor, waiting for her emperor's praise. Then Yao Huangdi lifted her chin with his fan and softened his gold eyes.
Qin Su: Huangdi. *blushing*
Yao: *lifts her from off the floor* You're very beautiful, and so is your song.
Qin Su: *looks at him lovingly*
Yao: *kisses, then puts her in his arms*
Qin Su: Yao Huangdi. I...I love you. *buries her head in his chest*
Yao: *caresses her cheek* A-Su.
Qin Su: Tell me you love me back. *hides her face*
Yao: Of course I love you, beloved.
Let's have a seat.
Qin Su: mn.
Huangdi, I need your opinion in something. *pours wine for herself*
Yao: What is it?
Qin Su: Song Qiutong told me that she wants to overthrow Mo Ran.
Please don't tell him.
But what are your views on that?
Yao: I always support powerful women and women in power. And I believe there's a reason behind it.
Qin Su: Yea she has had enough. Song Qiutong is very much underrated and not at all valued.
Yao: An unfair environment tends to do that.
I've also had enough, when I was just a mere cultivator. That thirst for validation, justice and self image made me resilient.
If I can prove everyone wrong, Song Huanghou can too!
Let her have real power.
Qin Su: Right! I support her too.
She can call for my spies any time she likes.
Yao: We must support her discreetly. I don't know how would Mo Huangdi react.
Qin Su: Agreed, Huangdi.
Yao: I will do my best to preserve the bond between two empires.
Qin Su: As you should!
Now. *puts his hands in hers* Shall we get back to some romance?
Yao: Definitely dear.
Qin Su: I wish to feel you all over my body, Huangdi.
Yao: *laughs daintily* I hope i don't devour you completely. *lifts chin*
Qin su: So what if that's my desire.
*wraps her arms around his*
Furthermore, they laid in bed while playfully undressing each other and locking eyes. Qin Su passionately grabbed his thigh whereas Meng Yao grabbed her waistline, pulling her close to his jade chest. The both then kissed gently and gracefully while his tails floated in the wind, then against his hips. Qin Su snuggles more while she continued to receive kisses from her emperor.
Qin Su: Huangdi!
Yao: Am I all over you yet?
Qin su: *giggles* Always.
Huangdi, I want to stay like this forever.
Yao: You're forever my wife, darling.
Qin Su: You know how Wangxian does everyday means everyday, sometimes I feel like I can do the same. And then stay in bed with you forever.
Yao: *kisses* Oh I see. *kisses her neck* My beautiful empress.
Qin Su: But i know you have imperial duties.
Yao: mhm.
Qin Su: Now my Handsome Emperor. Tell me about my beauty again.
Yao: No one is as beautiful as you, empress. You know this. *kisses her forehead*
You're a gem.
Qin Su: And my Huangdi is the most gorgeous and most superior. You are perfect. *snuggles*
Jingyi and Xiaobao brought the two estranged lovers together
Jingyi: introducing, Yanqing.
Xiaobao: and introducing Yunli.
You seem to know each other, right?
Yunli and Yanqing: *blushing*
Jingyi: we got to go. Rusong is calling us.
You know, we have to toast together.
Xiaobao: brother things.
Bye!
Yanqimg: but Dianxia.
Yunli: Dianxia.
Both: ..........
Yunli: hey.
Yanqing: hey.
How are you doing?
Yunli: I'm ok. And you?
Yanqing: same.
Yunli: .........you....met Huangdi?
Yanqing: ......yea I did. Huangdi is still Huangdi..
Gosh I sound like a treasonous idiot.
Yes Huangdi is amazing.
Yunli: I agree.
No I agree with Huangdi being amazing.
Not the treasonous idiot part.
I'm actually the idiot to let you go.
Yanqing: no. You thought that was the right thing to do.
And long distance relationships always end up in estrangement, if not taken care of.
Yunli: yea. Were gossiping about me to Dianxia??
Yanqing: guilty.
Sorry. Dianxia wanted to know.
Yunli: no worries. I gossiped about you too.
Yanqing: well it's a tie.
Yunli, you're maybe leaving tomorrow. On your Xianzhou Zhuming.
Yunli: Yup. We're going to hover over a Borisin territory.
Yanqing: be careful.
I'm on weaponry duty, and mapping.
Yunli: thank you. And have fun.
Yanqing: shall we continue where we left off? Grab a few drinks and reminisce the good old days. If it's not a problem with you.
Yunli: I would love that!!!
Yanqing: good!!
Yunli: but I thought that you cloud Knights don't drink in the presence of the emperor?
Yanqing: yea, but it's a party. And our merciful Huangdi gave us the right away.
Yunli: aww.
Yanqing: *gives her his arm*
Yunli: *wraps her arms around his*
Yanqing: how's your yeye?
Yunli: strong as ever! Thanks for asking
Yanqing, I thought I wouldn't see you again.
Yanqing: same here! I miss you
Yunli: I miss you too!
Yanqing: any vacations?
Yunli: after spying on the Borisins of course. Maybe within two weeks.
Yanqing: that's so long, but I'll wait.
Maybe I should bury myself in work to pass the time along.
Yunli: yea!
At least we're together. And maybe we can continue dating when we're on vacation.
Yanqing: I love the sound of that.
Both: *took a seat together*
Yunli: yeye would be happy though. He always asks about you.
Yanqing: really???? Me???
Or does he miss giving me shovel talk?
Yunli: maybe both. *giggling*
Yanqing: ahahaha. I miss yeye too.
Yunli: imagine if he knew that it's the princes who helped link us up again.
Yanqing: now then he'll believe it's a match made in heaven!
Yunli: it definitely is. It always was.
But it became special because the Mengs helped us.
Yanqing: yes, I do agree. Meng approval is divine.
It means that the emperor is pleased with our alliance.
But he approved through our down to earth princes.
Yunli: exactly.
Then what if Rusong Taizi linked us up?
He already as the aura of a Huangdi.
Yanqing: then your yeye would get us married.
Yunli: *blush* I'll be the happiest then
Yanqing: *looks at her lovingly* aww.
Yunli: but let's just date for a bit. *hugs*
Yanqing: as you wish.
Yunli: you're so ideal for me, you know.
You treat me right, we're hulijings and we serve our Huangdi.
Yanqing: yes. And you're absolutely ideal for me.
Yunli: wanna know a secret?
Yanqing: tell me.
Yunli: when we broke up, and yeye saw me cry, he decided to get me a husband.
Yanqing: what??? Who?? Is...is he hotter than me?
Yunli: he's hotter than everyone, because it's Taizi Dianxia.
Yanqing: wow.
Yunli: but alliance never happened. And the Mengs didn't know a thing. Yeye knew I could easily become the concubine of Taizi, because of my rank.
Rusong Taizi is gorgeous, but he's my future emperor. I rather be a servant than a concubine.
Yanqing: your yeye is so sweet. He looks like he would even bring down a demi God to cheer you up.
Yunli: *laughing* he would!!
Yeye will do the impossible.
Yanqing: so how are things on the Zhuming ship? Are you still hunting for cursed swords?
Yunli: Yup. No one is allowed to have cursed swords, according to my team and I. Only Huangdi can keep them safe.
Yanqing: how righteous.
Yunli: the ghosts that are trapped in the swords are taken care off by ghost king Hua Cheng.
Yanqing: oh waw.
I only wanted to be promoted as a general, but Huangdi had instilled a new goal in me! So now I want to be a Marshal one day.
Yunli: go for it! You're a very ambitious person, with good morals.
Yanqing: thank you!
~~~
On the other hand, while chatting and toasting with Yao Huangdi~
Huaiyan: Meng Huangdi, I would like to introduce you to the hero of the Xianzhou Alliance. Jingliu.
She has defeated Hoolay and threw him in prison.
Yao: pleasure to meet you.
Jingliu: *bow* sorry I'm late, Huangdi.
I was unwell, but know I have recovered.
Yao: oh that's dreadful. I'm glad you're fine now and I get the opportunity to meet such a hero.
Jingliu: Huangdi don't flatter me.
Yao: come one, let's toast.
Jingliu: mn.
Yao: I'm always happy to see female heroes, who shape our history.
You're absolutely amazing!
Jingliu: thank you so much.
It's all thanks to goddess Meng. I'm one of the millions that go to her temple in Yunping every year.
Yao: magnificent. Aniang must be elated.
Jingliu: Huangdi, I wanted to form my own army of women, but you know I was unwell for a month.
Yao: your health should come first. So don't push yourself too much.
Jingliu: certainly Huangdi.
Rusong: I hope you get well soon, Lao Jingliu.
Jingliu: thank you. But Dianxia, the moon rage is a natural disease. Weak hulijing like us can't run away from it.
It's a fragment of our pass. If intensely aggravated by stress, it can affect the hulijings mental state.
Rusong: oh dear.
Jingliu: some hulijings who were oppressed by the Borisins went insane, qi deviated or suffered from ptsd.
I suffered a lot too.
Rusong: I'm so sorry to hear that. But please, take care of yourself.
Yao: are you getting treatment?
Jingliu: yes Huangdi.
Yao: I'm worried about the rest of hulijings, who are now in Jiaoqiu's care.
Jingliu: Huangdi you're quite compassionate.
Yao: the Borisins will never be forgiven for torturing hulijings. I guess I should oppress them in return, but that would be dangerous.
Anyways, Jingliu, I appreciate your work. You're the definition of a hero. Capturing a war criminal while battling with your own illness.
You're very strong.
Jingliu: thank you. It made me relate to the ones I saved, because they had the same experiences as me.
Yao: quite remarkable.
Jingliu: thank you so much, Huangdi. I'm glad I made you proud, and served the Mengs.
Yao: yes, you're indeed exceptional.
A-Song, do you see these great veterans? You must get accustomed being around them.
Rusong: oh yes, they're all very interesting.
The true backbone of our empire and nations.
Yao: exactly. They work very hard, A-Song. And we must honor and thank them countlessly.
Rusong: sure, A-Die
Jingliu: aw Huangdi. You're training Taizi.
Yao: yes, as I must. There are responsibilities he will soon inherit.
Qin su: *confronts them after meeting other guests* Jingliu. Nice to meet you.
Jingliu: *bow* Huanghou, it's an honour.
Qin Su: *smiling* honour to meet you too.
And you met Taizi.
Jingliu: definitely. He's very brilliant, and he has Huangdi's radiance, and your elegance.
Qin Su: of course.
Yao: A-Song is A-Su Huanghou.
Qin Su: he's the both of us, Huangdi.
And our A-Song is the most elegant thing. *strokes Rusong's hair*
Rusong: haha thank you A-niang.
Qin Su: Jingliu, you know my Rusong is an amazing sect leader too.
Jingliu: awww, I heard all about it, Huanghou. Dianxia is perfect in everything.
Qin Su: of course he is.
Huangdi, I was just chatting with some other Cloud Knights.
Yao: lovely. Everyone should get a glimpse of their beautiful empress.
Qin Su: *blushing*
Huaiyan: my empress. *bows and kisses her hand in respect*
Qin Su: former Arbiter Huaiyan. How are you?
Huaiyan: I'm great, empress. Thank you for your concern.
You're a blessing to the Mengs, Huanghou, as you're regal, soft-spoken, beautiful and absolutely glamorous.
Qin Su: thank you very much.
Yao: she's a gem.
Qin Su: don't flatter me. I try my best, that's all.
Huaiyan: the best of the best.
Huanghou, how's your daughter-in-law to be?
It would be amazing to see her and Taizi together.
Qin Su: she's fine. And i completely agree. Everyone should see them together.
Am I right, A-Song?
Rusong: mhm. I think she's she got a little comfortable with her new environment.
Qin Su: she must. As the girlfriend of Taizi.
Jingliu: happily the empress is there to teach her.
Qin Su: of course. Jingliu, Shall we walk and chat?
Jingliu: sure Huanghou. I could never turn you down.

Next day, in imperial court, Yao Huangdi was engaged in protecting his borders, and correcting maps~ by hand.
His attendant however stood by, preparing his ink by rubbing a block in water.
Yao: Anle is a Northern bordering city, controlled by Moling Su. I advise that every regiment should have at least 1000 hulijing troops. Feixiao, I want you to work with the Su cousins.
Feixiao: will do, Huangdi.
Su she: Huangdi, we have a secret watchtower, where we can easily spy on the Borisins from.
Once I gave you a tour, Huangdi.
Yao: yes yes, I know what you're talking about. Good idea, Minshan.
Suyin: Minshan will be in Moling itself and I will be in Anle, Huangdi.
Yao: well I'll give a replica of the map to Su Zongzhu.
He's in charge of his sect members, and would orchestrate our plans perfectly.
Mo xuanyu: where did the Borisins even come from, all of a sudden.
Yao gege, would they invade your empire?
Yao: never, A-Yu. We're Guarded right around.
The current Borisin uprising signals something, about their leader.
Xue yang: but he's imprisoned.
Yao: yes, but that doesn't stop him from sending messages.
Imform Chiyi that I want the the prisons purged. No one is supposed to be communicating with Hoolay!
Who the hell is he to have his own messengers?!
Xue yang: gosh I love it when Jiggy is infuriated.
It's so hot.
Mo xuanyu: I know right.
Feixiao: I'll inform her, Huangdi.
Yao: I myself will evaluate the officers. And if I suspect anything, I'll execute them Qishan Wen style.
Xue yang: imagine if Binghe was a Borisin ally.
Yao: could be possible. But I think he's too busy being a yandere.
Hua: *enters* Huangdi! It's urgent!
Yao: what's that?
Hua: a message from Hoolay.
Yao: this how it's supposed to be. Only appointed members of the Cloud Knights can convey messages from prisoners.
Tell me.
Hua: *reading* Guangyao Huangdi. How dare you and your Mengs imprison me. You're the actual war criminal for doing so.
So hilarious how these people have an emperor now. Pathetic!
Huangdi doesn't know who he's dealing with and I will have my revenge!
Hulijings deserve to be under the oppression of us Borisins, like in the beginning.
But Huangdi, I am indeed a person of reasoning, so here's what. Give me power. Give me a place in your imperial court.
Yao: that will never happen! Why would I put such an unscrupulous person in my imperial court!!
You will be nowhere near my people!
Xue yang: the guy literally said he's coming for revenge, and then he's asking for a place in the Huyao Meng empire.
Is he an idiot?
Hua: I know our Huangdi is very strong.
So what now?
Yao: I'll meet him personally.
Team dimple, let's go.
Team d: right behind you!!
Cloud Knights: *follows Yao Huangdi to serve as protection*

Thereafter they arrived at the 'Alcatraz' of the Jianghu. The Shackling Prison is where all criminals are shackled and (tortured- depending on the crimes).
Crimes varied from murder to high treason, war crimes and attempts on Regicide.
The Jianghu has other dungeons and prisons, but this one is the dungeon of dungeons. And it has a torture chamber on sight.
As for the empire's judicial system,
First they're presented to Huangdi, where he arrests them, then Zhou queen, Su Daji oversees the trials. If it's serious, the entire elite will be involved.
Su Daji has become the fox goddess of justice and warfare, even though she's fierce and brutal at times.
That's how it is. Basically the Jianghu is run by hulijings, since Yao Huangdi merged the two worlds.
The Jianghu is his dominion.
The Guardian of the Prison is Madam Chiyi, or just Chiyi. And she let her officers kneel in a row to be evaluated by the emperor.
Chiyi: *Kneels and kisses A-yao's hand in submission.* I greet you, Huangdi.
Yao: please, you may stand.
Chiyi: Huangdi, I made all my subordinates kneel before you. Now you may enter.
Yao: lovely.
Chiyi: would you like some tea or something? Forgive me but, Huangdi looks infuriated.
Yao: oh you are too kind. Perhaps later.
I was just angry about Hoolay.
Chiyi: yes Huangdi. Forgive me for not inspecting the staff earlier. I don't know who could be his messenger.
Feel free to stab me.
Yao: don't blame yourself. You are doing your best.
Chiyi: thank you Huangdi.
The prison's staff: *kneeling and trembling* hail the hulijing emperor! Hail the hulijing emperor!
Yao: *standing in front of them*
Team dimple, search them.
Xue yang: will do.
Yao: *unwraps his sword from around his waste*
Huangdi, have mercy!
Yao: some of you are communicating with that distasteful war criminal under Chiyi's nose. Hence I decided to evaluate you myself.
Yao: if innocent, you'll see your emperor's mercy. But if found guilty, you'll be killed Qishan Wen style.
Officer: *fighting with Mo xuanyu*
Yao: *locks their qi with the flick of his wrist* I order you to stay put.
You wrestle with team dimple, you wrestle with your emperor. How dare you!
Xue yang: these guys are innocent here
But. *reaches into an officer's pockets* this one isn't! Isn't this Borisin dialect written here?
Huangdi I can explain!
Yao: *stabs the officer*
Mo xuanyu: you're a Borisin in disguise!!!
Shhh, shh! Lower your voice!
Mo xuanyu: I'm part of Yao gege's defense force! You can't shush me. *slaps* bitch!
*infuriated* fine! You caught me! down with your Huangdi!
Yao: *stabs*
Su she: disgrace.
Huangdi, these 3 have letters on them too.
All Borisin coded.
Yao: *stabs again*
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege, this person is guilty too!
Huangdi Huangdi, no!
Mo xuanyu: stop pleading! Huangdi despises fake people like you!
Huangdi I was set up by Hoolay himself.
Yao: then why do you have his pendant!
He gave it to me.
Yao: think you can fool me. *stab*
Su she: *grabs another officer behind their head* you look suspicious.
X: *cries* I was blackmailed by Hoolay! To send messages! But I didn't know Huangdi was passing through. Huangdi!!
Su she: *pushes him down*
X: *hugging A-yao's feet* huangdi, I'm sorry!!
Xue yang: *stabs*
Yao: Chengmei!
Xue yang: spare no one.
Yao: anyways, he was in contact with him.
A few minutes later~
Yao: are the other 40+ officers innocent?
Su she: yes Huangdi.
Mo xuanyu: we managed to execute 18 of them.
Yao: *hands hensheng to xue yang~ as he enjoys cleaning up the blood. Then he opens his fan*
Mo xuanyu: Chiyi. Bring in the refreshments. Huangdi is exhausted.
Chiyi: will do.
Su she: have a seat, Huangdi.
Yao: *sits behind a desk* well half of my work here is done.
Attendants: *preparing tea*
The innocent officers then dropped on their knees and kowtowed to him three times.
Yao: *amused*
Xue yang: he's so powerful.
Here's your Hensheng back, Huangdi. *kneels*.
Yao: thank you Chen
Su she: he'll manage to let even Hoolay bow.
Mo xuanyu: that's the greatness of our Yao gege.
Yao: *sips tea* that's enough, officers. I accept your adoration and allegiance. Get back to work.
Yes Huangdi.
Chiyi: I'm so happy that we have an emperor who's on the scene in anything. Be it purging the defence force or meeting his people.
Yao: it is my duty.
Chiyi: you still wish to meet Hoolay.
Yao: yes, definitely! He challenged my authority, so I must remind him that I'm Huangdi and he's my prisoner.
Team dimple, go meet him for me. And make sure he's ready.
*opens fan* you see, some rude people don't know how to properly greet their Huangdi.
Chiyi: as you wish. And for Huangdi's protection, the jail cell will stay closed.
Yes he's chained and his core is destroyed, but we're still afraid of the chains breaking somehow.
However the cell will be opened for team dimple.
I know they're masters of torture.
Team dimple, I'm not putting you in danger, I swear.
Su she: it's fine. It's your job to protect the emperor.
He's very precious to all of us.
Chiyi: mhm.
~~
To be continued~~~ Yao Huangdi will meet with Hoolay. I just want to write the scene in the beginning of a chapter so that's whyy.
