Chapter 226: Bullying My Father in Groups??
“Liang Qin…” Ah Bao blinked her big eyes, watching Concubine De and Zhilan with curiosity.
【What happened to Daddy? Why does Mommy look so anxious?】
Concubine De quickly finished her preparations and walked over. “Ah Bao, Mommy has to go out for a while. You stay and play with Zhilan in Yihe Palace. Mommy might come back a bit late tonight.”
Ah Bao stretched her little arms to be picked up.
Concubine De patted Ah Bao’s head. “The envoys from the Three Nations have brought their national beasts with them. They’re already in the palace. The front hall is dangerous. I heard their national beasts are bloodthirsty and very fierce. Ah Bao, don’t run around tonight.”
Ah Bao’s eyes lit up.
【Wow, what are these national beasts that eat people?】
【The envoys bring man-eating creatures into the palace to show off in front of my dad??】
Ah Bao’s eyes twirled. “Liang Qin, what are national beasts?”
“National beasts are the guardian beasts of a nation’s deity. Our Tiansheng Dynasty doesn’t have a national deity or a national beast, and we’re at the bottom of the Seven Kingdoms. So, other countries look down on us.
In the past, after February 2nd, the Divine Dragon would go to the next country. This year, for some reason, the Divine Dragon has not left. The other Three Nations, after discussing among themselves, came to the Tiansheng Dynasty, supposedly to welcome the Divine Dragon, but in reality, to put pressure on us.”
“But they have their own national beasts. Why do they still need the Divine Dragon?”
Concubine De patiently explained, “Their national beasts are smaller compared to the Azure Dragon. It’s said that the Azure Dragon is one of the Four Sacred Beasts. They would like the Divine Dragon to visit their countries. The Divine Dragon brings prosperity and favorable weather. Even if their national beasts are small, we can’t afford to provoke them because we don’t have our own national beast.”
Ah Bao blinked and said, 【Who said our Tiansheng Dynasty doesn’t have a national beast? Huahua is one! Huahua has already told me that it won’t leave and will stay in the Tiansheng Dynasty from now on.】
The Divine Dragon, who was contemplating in silence: “…”
Suddenly sneezed. Woo woo woo, could it be that the little master thought of it?
Concubine De: …
So, suddenly, a national beast appeared?
And it’s the rare Divine Dragon of the Seven Kingdoms???
“Your Highness, the Emperor has sent another message. Please hurry to the front hall. There’s a fight breaking out in the front hall!” Eunuch Xi hurriedly reported.
Concubine De was about to leave immediately.
Ah Bao grabbed Concubine De’s leg. “Liang Qin, take me along, take me along.”
【I want to see who dares to be unruly in front of my father! And national beasts, just get lost!】
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor of the Tiansheng Dynasty sat on the dragon throne.
The Right Prime Minister, the Great Uncle of the Country, and other senior officials were all present.
The three envoys sat arrogantly opposite the civil and military officials.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, the three upper kingdoms are Jin, Mu, and Shui; the Fire, Earth, and Feng Nations, along with the Tiansheng Dynasty, are the lower kingdoms.
The envoys from the Fire Nation, Earth Nation, and Feng Nation had come this time.
At this moment, the civil and military officials were all anxious and furious.
The three envoys clearly had no regard for the Emperor or the Tiansheng Dynasty. Even in the grand hall, while His Majesty was seated, these three dared to sit too!
The officials were furious, their eyes wide open, but none dared to speak.
Especially when they saw the national beasts of the three envoys.
Each of the three envoys had a coiling dragon beside them.
Indeed.
The national beasts of the Fire Nation, Earth Nation, and Feng Nation were all dragons.
Only their colors differed.
Prime Minister Lan quietly stood beside the Great Uncle of the Country and said, “Great Uncle, are these three nations’ national beasts related? Why are all their national beasts dragons? Can’t they use different beasts?”
Dragons are rare to see.
Finding a coiling dragon is also difficult.
And now, three dragons appeared, as if the three nations had arranged this together.
Why couldn’t such good fortune have fallen to the Tiansheng Dynasty? Even a soaring serpent as a national beast would have been fine.
“Who knows? Look at that golden dragon, it’s the national beast of the Fire Nation; the silver dragon is the national beast of the Earth Nation; even the now-extinct Feng Nation has a dragon, and it’s a two-headed dragon,” the Great Uncle of the Country said, feeling heartbroken, “Just our Tiansheng Dynasty doesn’t have a national deity or a national beast. Otherwise, how could we let these three show off on our turf?”
Being the bottom-ranked country is frustrating.
A nation abandoned by miracles cannot hold its head high in front of the other six countries.
Even if a war were to break out, they would only unite to attack the nation abandoned by the gods.
“Your Majesty, have you made up your mind? Aren’t you going to let us go to the temple to invite the Divine Dragon now?” The Fire Nation envoy spoke with a fierce tone and a mocking expression.
The civil and military officials were all grim-faced. How could a mere envoy dare to speak so impudently to the Emperor? It was truly outrageous!
“Our Tiansheng Dynasty’s temple is not easily entered even by members of the royal family. How dare you, an outsider, come here?” The Tyrant Emperor spoke displeasedly.
The Fire Nation envoy sneered, “Oh, Your Majesty, it’s not that I’m speaking arrogantly, but your Tiansheng Dynasty doesn’t have a national deity. What use is a temple? Isn’t it a waste?”
“Preposterous!” The Right Prime Minister scolded, “You’re just a small envoy. How dare you interfere in our Tiansheng Dynasty’s affairs? If we wish to build a temple, what does it have to do with you?”
The Fire Nation envoy laughed rather than being angry, patting the golden dragon beside him. The golden dragon suddenly extended its head towards the Right Prime Minister, baring its teeth.
As if it were going to bite off the Right Prime Minister’s head.
The Right Prime Minister was so frightened he didn’t dare to move.
The civil and military officials were all murmuring in astonishment.
“Enough!” The Tyrant Emperor’s face darkened, “This is the territory of our Tiansheng Dynasty. How can you recklessly act like this?”
The Fire Nation envoy glanced at the Tyrant Emperor with no fear, chuckling lightly, “Your Majesty, I’m really sorry. Our Golden Dragon has been waiting here for a long time and is a bit hungry. It’s craving meat.”
Everyone knew that the national beasts of the Three Nations were carnivorous and ferocious. Even the emperors of their own countries carefully fed them, occasionally providing condemned prisoners as food, which was extremely bloody.
“You two, why are you just standing there? Don’t you have anything to say? Aren’t your silver dragon and two-headed dragon hungry?” The Fire Nation envoy signaled the envoys from the Earth Nation and Feng Nation.
They had secretly discussed this beforehand: to come specifically to add trouble to the Tiansheng Dynasty.
After all, the Tiansheng Dynasty had nothing and occupied the Divine Dragon.
If it weren’t for the Divine Dragon’s righteousness, why would it come to the Tiansheng Dynasty?
The other six countries couldn’t even get the Divine Dragon.
Every time, after February 2nd, the Divine Dragon would go to the next country, depending on where the Divine Dragon’s wall fell.
But this year, after February 2nd, the Divine Dragon’s wall hadn’t moved, so they got anxious and came to invite the Divine Dragon directly.
Whoever touches the Divine Dragon’s wall would have summoned the Divine Dragon.
But the Divine Dragon’s wall was outside the temple, and they had to personally touch it. Unfortunately, the Tiansheng Emperor protected the temple like a treasure and didn’t allow outsiders in.
