Ye Zhen cleaned Ming Xi's little buttocks and put on the diaper again. She pinched her son's cheek, "Who do you think you learned this from? Are you angry that your mother hasn't been with you these days?"
Ming Xi changed into a clean diaper and felt refreshed. Small bubbles appeared at the corner of his mouth and his eyes looked at Ye Zhen. Although he couldn't speak, it was clear that he was in a good mood at this time.
"This child is simply a spirit." Zhao Yang laughed, "He still knows how to smile at you. How old is he?"
Ye Zhen cried, "I gave birth to him. Of course, he is smart."
Zhao Yang rolled her eyes, "Are you praising him or yourself?"
"Praising him is praising myself." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Yes, you are his mother." Zhao Yang smiled and sat down next to her. "They are almost one month old. What are your plans?"
Only then did Ye Zhen remember the matter. "Yes, the two little guys are about to be one month old. What about the full moon ceremony?"
"Anyway, it's the day after tomorrow. Why don't we stay here for the ceremony before leaving?" Although Zhao Yang wanted to leave, it didn't seem very good to spend the ceremony on the ship. It just so happened that the plague in Bao Xiang had been cured, so they could get off the ship to prepare something.
"Good." Ye Zhen also thought it was the best.
Before night fell, Ye Yiqing led his family to the imperial palace. The rest remained on the ship. He had sent many delicacies over on behalf of the Luo King. After all, the ship was still out at sea, so it was impossible for everyone to go to the imperial palace.
The banquet in the palace was very big. King Luo also called all the other ministers. Now, the whole Bao Xiang country regarded Ye Zhen as the Heavenly Imperial Concubine. When they saw her appear, everyone stood up and knelt down to salute her except for King Luo. Ye Zhen stopped them from kneeling.
The song and dance of Bao Xiang was very special. Ye Zhen was very happy to see it. She raised her glass and said, "Miss Ye, after discussing with several ministers, we have decided on one thing. For so many years, Bao Xiang has been stubbornly defending itself and has never seen the outside world. If you agree, I would like Chi Man to accompany you to sea. In addition to protecting you, he can also bring more useful knowledge back to our country."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment and looked back at Ye Yiqing. Does the king want Chi Man to go to sea with them?
"Your Majesty, we don't know the way home or where we will end up. There are too many risks at sea. I'm afraid your ship will not return in the end." Ye Yiqing declined directly for Ye Zhen.
He did not trust outsiders. Although they now regarded Yao as their guardian, no one could predict what would happen at sea in the future.
Slightly taken aback, the king looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's time yet. The infectious disease has just been suppressed. Only Chi Man and Aphro can read Chinese in your country. Other than Aphro, no one else can learn the medical books I left behind. If they follow me out to sea, then all their previous efforts will be in vain. Why don't we wait a little longer? When I return, I will come to your country. At that time, if you still have the same idea, I can take them back to the Central Plains. No matter what they want to learn, it won't be a problem."
The king pondered for a moment. He was clearly more tempted by Ye Zhen's proposal. If Chi Man went to sea, it would be a great risk. However, if he could go to the Central Plains in the future, it would be different. Although the State of Jing was no longer there, wasn't there still the State of Jin and the State of Qi?
"Your Majesty, what the Heavenly Concubine says makes sense." An elder sitting opposite them whispered to the Acting Luo King after hearing the translation. "Let's listen to the Heavenly Consort's arrangements."
The king nodded heavily. "Alright then."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Then I look forward to the day when we meet again."
After the banquet, the king knew that Ye Zhen planned to give the two children a one-month ceremony here. He immediately came to Ye Zhen in person, saying that he wanted to ask the longest-lived elders of Bao Xiang to bless her children. In Bao Xiang, children who had a one-month ceremony could receive the blessings of all the long-lived elders. The children would have a smooth life and grow old without any disasters or diseases.
Hearing the king's words, Ye Zhen was immediately moved.
As a mother, who doesn't want their children to grow up safely and happily? It would be best if they could receive more blessings.
Ye Yiqing had no objection after knowing this. He also felt that the one-month ceremony couldn't be too simple.
Two days later, it was Ming Xi and Ming Yu's one-month-old ceremony. On behalf of King Luo, he used the ceremony as a prince to get all the elders in the country to send their blessings to the two children. Their blessings were very simple. They hung a long red string around the children's bodies. Every elder would come forward to say their blessings before tying a copper coin on the red string. These copper coins were what the Treasure Elephant Kingdom called the fortune money. The more copper coins on the red string, the more blessings the children would receive.
Ming Xi and Ming Yu had already woken up. Perhaps it was because it was rare to see such a lively scene. Even Ming Yu, who loved to cry the most, just looked around with a pair of bright gem-like eyes, as if she was very curious. As for Ming Xi, he had his usual lazy posture, which reminded Ye Zhen of the little bird.
It's really … as expected of the little bird's spirit. Even their postures are so similar.
"We'll set off tomorrow." Ye Yiqing smiled as he watched his two grandsons receive more and more blessings. He was in a good mood.
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded. "Father, do you know where to go next? How do you know where Qi Yanling hid the route map? "
"We'll just follow the original route. Whether we can find it or not depends on fate," Ye Yiqing said. He didn't go out to sea for the treasure map. He just felt that it would be better if there was one. There was no need to deliberately search for it.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Okay."
In fact, she had the same idea. Let nature take its course. She also wanted to spread her medical skills to a backward and feudal place like the Baoxiang Kingdom, so that her rebirth would be more meaningful.
"She became the Heavenly Concubine in the Baoxiang Kingdom. Will she become a god in the future?" Ye Yiqing glanced around. He didn't know how his daughter fooled them. They really thought she was the Heavenly Concubine.
Ye Zhen smiled. "If I didn't say that at that time, they wouldn't have believed me so easily. Thanks to the travel notes left by Father."
"What about the travel notes?" At first, he left the travel notes in the study of the hot spring villa and forgot to take them away. The Lu family didn't throw them away. Perhaps this was also fate.
"In Chengde Villa …" Ye Zhen said. It should have been put away.
Ye Yiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. In Chengde Villa, Mo Rongzhan should have seen it.
Would he be able to guess their travel route?
