The interior of Ze Tian Palace was brightly lit. Many people were present, including Tang Lan, Su Muyun, Xiang Yu, and Feng Jixing.
"Marquis Yun Ling requests an audience!"
The official outside the palace shouted. "Liu Heng, Liu Feng, and Liu Ying from the Liu residence request an audience!"
Lin Muyu strode in and stood beside Feng Jixing. The rules of the empire were that the civil officials stood in one row and the generals stood in the other. Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Xiang Yu had the highest status in the empire, so she stood between Feng Jixing and Xiang Yu.
"Commander Yu is here."
Qin Yin stood up and said with a smile, "Ji Zhao colluded with the Yihe Kingdom and sold many Heavenly Tomes inscription tool embryos to the Yihe Kingdom. Thanks to Commander Yu's capture, the Empire was able to avoid the risk of losing these Heavenly Tomes. However, the 10 million Jin Yin Coins that Ji Zhao obtained is still here. On account of the Dragon's Courage Legion's meritorious service in capturing and investigating Ji Zhao and the fact that many of their men died in battle, I have decided to give these 10 million Jin Yin Coins to Lin Muyu and the Dragon's Courage Legion as a reward! I hope everyone in the empire will be like Commander Yu and put the empire's interests first. "
Everyone was taken aback. Everyone knew that the empress was biased towards Lin Muyu, but it was too blatant of her favoritism!
Tang Lan hurriedly cupped her fists and bowed. "Your Highness, please reconsider. 10 million Jin Yin dollars isn't a small amount. Furthermore, the treasury is empty and needs Jin Yin dollars for everything. If you give all of it to the Brave Dragon Legion, I'm afraid the other commanders will be dissatisfied!"
Instantly, many of the Tang family's commanders cupped their fists to express their dissatisfaction!
Su Muyun also frowned but didn't say anything. He had basically stopped interfering with Qin Yin's decisions in the imperial court. After all, with people like Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing around, there was no use even if he interfered.
…
Qin Yin pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Your Highness Seven Sea King is right. Then … I shall bestow 9,900,000 Jin Yin Coins to the Valiant Dragon Legion. Take 100,000 and distribute it to the commanders of the legions as a reward for their loyalty!"
Tang Lan: "..."
Qin Yin held onto the hilt of the Heaven-suppressing Sword and smiled. "There's no need to discuss this anymore. I've made up my mind."
"Yes, Your Highness …"
Tang Lan didn't have anything else to say. Even though he and Qin Yin were both addressed respectfully as "Your Highness," the weight of these two "highnesses" was obviously not the same. After the battle at Wildfire Plains, Qin Yin continuously promoted her trusted generals and civilian officials. Now, most of the officials in power in the six ministries were the empress's people. Tang Lan's authority was also decreasing day by day, and naturally, he couldn't use force anymore.
Step by step, Lin Muyu walked to the King's Step and respectfully took the 99 gold notes from Shangguan Jingyue's hands. The Longdan Army Camp needed money, so he would not be polite with this money.
…
At this moment, the three siblings, Liu Heng, Liu Feng, and Liu Ying, entered the main hall.
Qin Yin smiled faintly. "May I know what the three siblings of the Liu residence have for me?"
Liu Heng cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, my second brother, Liu Feng, wrote a medium-grade book of the Law of Light this morning. I also heard that Your Highness cultivates a martial soul of the Law of Light, so this book is perfect for Your Highness's cultivation. Only in Your Highness's hands will it be able to display its greatest power. My second brother wants to present this book to Your Highness."
"Oh, is that so?" Qin Yin's gaze was gentle as she said, "Young Master Liu Feng is able to write a medium-grade book at such a young age. It's truly worthy of celebration. Guards, accept the book!"
"Yes!"
Shangguan Jingyue walked forward and took the brocade box. As if she understood Qin Yin's intention, she actually didn't have any intention of opening the brocade box. She held the brocade box and was about to hand it over to the imperial guard.
Liu Feng stared blankly and was filled with disappointment. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I …"
"Young Master Liu Feng, is there something else?" Qin Yin calmly looked at him.
"Your Highness." Liu Feng said, "Could it be that Your Highness doesn't want to see what the tool embryo is? This subject … this subject stayed up all night and chose the most exquisite tool embryo to carve this medium-grade book … "
"Is that so?" Qin Yin faintly smiled, "Jingyue, open it and take a look."
"Yes!"
Shangguan Jingyue opened the brocade box and shock flashed across her face. Inside the brocade box was an exquisite jade flute. The jade flute had faint golden divine runes floating on it. It should be an Earth Book written using Profound Gold Powder. It was indeed written with great care.
Liu Feng cupped his fists and said, "This subject knows that Your Highness is well-versed in music, so you chose a musical instrument as the tool embryo. The jade flute's texture is brittle, and it is very difficult for it to contain too much spiritual power. But this jade flute's texture is of the highest quality. It was fortunate that it could be turned into a book. This is truly rare. I hope Your Highness will like it."
Qin Yin smiled wholeheartedly, "Then, many thanks to Young Master Liu Feng."
Liu Feng sincerely bowed and said, "As long as Your Highness can show your happiness, all of this subject's efforts will be worth it! In addition, this subject has planted a strange flower called the Violet Orchid in the mansion's courtyard. When spring comes, it will germinate and bloom. At that time, if Your Highness is in the mood to admire the flowers, you can come to the Liu Mansion to take a look. "
Lin Muyu couldn't help but frown. This Liu Feng really was a playboy. He simply used all kinds of skills to pick up girls without a cooldown. Motherf * cker, I can't tolerate this. If I knew this would happen, I would've let Wei Chou stab him to death with a sword!
However, Liu Feng had underestimated Qin Yin too much. She wasn't the girl next door, but the empire's princess who had personally experienced the chaos in Lanyan City. She was a girl who ascended to the throne after a narrow escape from death and personally experienced the war against the demon race. She had seen too much eagerness and too many hedonistic young masters. She knew where her heart belonged and understood that in this world, it wasn't about being with someone who treated her well, but rather, it was about working hard to be with someone she liked.
It was very obvious that Qin Yin had long given her heart to Lin Muyu. Her defense against Liu Feng's offensive was simply ten thousand.
"Thank you, Young Master Liu Feng."
Qin Yin smiled sweetly and said in a natural and unrestrained manner, "There are many flowers in the Ze Tian Palace's courtyard. I don't need to leave the Ze Tian Palace to see the arrival of spring, so there's no need to trouble Young Master Liu Feng."
Liu Feng was startled, but he was still unwilling and continued to say, "Your Highness … I, Liu Feng, am willing to sacrifice my life for Your Highness. If … if I, Liu Feng, can surpass the limits of writing a Heavenly Book, is Your Highness willing to grant me a chance to have a meal alone?"
Qin Yin was startled. As the Empress, there were some words that were difficult for her to say out loud.
However, at this moment, Feng Jixing couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Liu Feng, that's enough! Her Highness is the monarch and you are the subject. I think you have already forgotten the difference between a monarch and a subject, right? Her Highness is the monarch of a nation, above tens of thousands of people. How can a hedonistic young master like you pursue her? If you say one more word, I will immediately order for you to be expelled from the Ze Tian Palace! "
Tang Lan frowned and said, "General Feng, the Liu residence is a Heavenly Book Distinguished Family in the Cangnan Province. I hope that you can be lenient with your words. Besides, a fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's desire. Her Highness is in the prime of her youth and her peerless beauty is even more rare in this world. Even though Liu Feng is a subject, he is still young after all. It is understandable that he admires Her Highness' beauty. I hope that Your Highness can understand."
Qin Yin nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble, Master Lan."
Feng Jixing smiled, "It's just that … Her Highness' cultivation has already stepped into the Saint realm and her beauty will remain forever. Even if another ten or fifty years pass, she will still be as beautiful as she is now. On the other hand, Liu Feng, what cultivation do you have? In another fifty years, you will be old and frail. Can you still match up to Her Highness who is as beautiful as a flower?"
Liu Feng was startled. He clenched his fists and said, "I … I will also start practicing martial arts …"
…
Qin Yin's beautiful eyes were like water as she looked at the officials in the palace. She said indifferently, "My lords, I know that many people are worried about Xiao Yin's marriage. They are worried that there will be no successor for the empire and that Xiao Yin will be lonely. In fact, there is no need for that. The person that Xiao Yin loves is my elder brother, Marquis Yun Ling, the commander of the Dragon's Courage Legion, Lin Muyu. If I marry, I will marry him. Everyone in the world knows about this. No matter if it is ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, my heart will not change."
Liu Feng was startled. He never thought that his pursuit would actually cause Qin Yin to reveal her feelings in front of the officials.
At this moment, Lin Muyu spoke. He cupped his fists and said excitedly, "Your Highness … Since you have confessed, then I must say a few words …"
Feng Jixing almost vomited blood. He glared at him. You still want to act cool at a time like this?
Lin Muyu took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness is the ruler of a country. You are above tens of thousands of people and have an honorable status. If Your Highness is willing to be with me, Lin Muyu, I will definitely not lose to anyone, no matter in which aspect. Since Young Master Liu Feng has written an Earth Book for Your Highness, then I have also written an Earth Book. I will offer it to Your Highness here."
As he spoke, he took out a steel sword from his Universe Bag and respectfully walked forward with it in his hand.
Qin Yin giggled, her beautiful eyes full of affection. She held the long sword, and suddenly a stream of spiritual power surged on the engravings. Under the urging of the power, the engravings glowed with a pale yellow light!
"Earth Book! It really is an Earth Book! "The officials were shocked.
Tang Lan, Su Muyun, Xiang Yu, and the others all frowned. Everyone knew that Lin Muyu's martial arts cultivation was unparalleled in the world, but no one expected him to be able to write an Earth Book. What could this brat not know?
Liu Feng's gaze stayed on the steel sword in Qin Yin's hand. His face became paler and paler. That brat actually wrote an Earth Book. Although it was a low-grade Earth Book, it was actually the most difficult Earth Book to write, the Life Book. Where did he come from? He could even write an Earth Book inscription in one go?
On the other hand, Liu Ying's face was full of admiration and joy. Although she was slightly disappointed when she found out that Lin Muyu and Qin Yin were lovers, the moment she saw the light from the Earth Book, she fell in love again. In her heart, Lin Muyu was already the most outstanding man in the world. His martial arts cultivation was unparalleled in the world, and his Earth Book inscription was also extraordinary!
…
Qin Yin carefully sheathed the sword and said with a smile, "Thank you, Big Brother Yu!"
At the side, Shangguan Jingyue asked, "What about the mid-grade Earth Book Jade Flute?"
"Put it in the Heavenly Book Pavilion," Qin Yin said lightly.
"Yes!"
…
The court meeting ended just like that, but everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Lin Muyu was actually able to write an Earth Book. This was undoubtedly throwing a 500-kilogram boulder into the pool of water that was Lanyan City. There were many disputes in the Heavenly Book Realm, and now it was becoming more and more chaotic.
