"His Majesty has arrived!"
In fact, even if no one announced it, everyone in the hall could completely sense that the empress had arrived.
Under everyone's gaze, the empress walked across the hall and sat on the golden throne at the highest end. She slowly said, "I have something to report!"
Following the empress's voice, the hall was silent for a few seconds. Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"If there's nothing else, let's end the court session," the empress said as she swept her gaze across the crowd.
Tong Zhenye stepped forward and said, "I have something to report. The recent heavy rain has caused the dolomite mine to collapse in many places, and more than 70 people have been killed or injured."
"Prisoners of war?" the empress asked.
"Yes!" Tong Zhenye answered.
The empress felt a little strange. Why did he bring this matter up to the imperial court? Although Ren Baqian made the prisoners of war sound very important, in the hearts of everyone, the death of dozens of prisoners of war was as natural as rain today.
After all, there were so many prisoners of war, and there were bound to be some who died of illness every day.
"Go back and deal with it yourself," the empress replied casually.
"Who else has anything to report?" The Water Empress looked around and said, "If there's nothing else, the court is dismissed!"
"Your Majesty, I also have something to report." Ge Yihong had no choice but to step forward under Tong Zhenye's threatening gaze.
The empress furrowed her eyebrows. When she asked just now, no one spoke. When she said that the court session was over, all these people jumped out one by one.
"Speak!"
"The sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and potatoes provided by Principal Ren are suitable for growing in Tianjing Basin. I would like to introduce these crops to Tianjing Basin to replace the wetland rice that is currently being grown in Tianjing Basin.
After all, the yield of wetland rice was very low, and its value was not high. Most of the crops in Tianjing Basin are planted with this type of crop. If they are changed to sweet potatoes and other crops, the output can be increased by at least five times! "Ge Yihong reported.
"Approved!" The empress nodded.
"Is there anyone else?" The empress looked around again and raised her eyebrows when she saw that everyone looked as though their souls had left their bodies.
When Shi Qing, who was standing at the forefront, saw this, he quickly took a few steps forward and cupped his hands in salute. "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Speak!"
"I met Sir Ren just now. He has just broken through to the Earth Wheel level," Shi Qing said.
"Indeed." The empress immediately had a premonition that made her feel uneasy.
"Her Majesty and Sir Ren are in love with each other. Previously, it was only because Sir Ren's cultivation level was too low that Her Majesty was unable to give birth to an heir. Now that Sir Ren has broken through to the Earth Wheel level, it's time for Her Majesty's wedding! "Shi Qing said slowly.
The empress felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body froze.
Although she was already mentally prepared and liked Ren Baqian very much, the mention of marriage made her feel like …
"I just got up this morning and had nothing to do, so I came to attend court. Now you want to talk to me about marriage? I haven't even brushed my teeth! "
The feeling of being unable to defend against an arrow to the knee.
Her gaze swept across the crowd, and everyone lifted their heads to stare at her.
The Water Empress felt that she had not been so nervous in a long time. She felt as if there was a huge elephant jumping around in her chest!
In an instant, the empress blushed from her neck to her ears.
"This matter … we'll discuss it later!" The Water Empress suppressed her emotions and tried her best to speak slowly.
She felt that she was not ready yet.
"Could it be that Her Majesty is dissatisfied with Sir Ren? Do you want to find another husband? "Shi Qing's wrinkled face revealed his white teeth.
"That's not it!" The empress waved her hand, and her heart beat even faster.
"Your Majesty's talent is unparalleled, and your cultivation level is increasing day by day. However, it isn't difficult to find a man who can have a child with you." Shi Qing laughed.
"However, if Sir Ren makes another breakthrough, he may not be able to keep up with Your Majesty's pace. Even if he can keep up, who knows how long it will be before he can."
"If Your Majesty feels that there is nothing wrong with Sir Ren, please settle the marriage as soon as possible so that I and the others can rest assured. In the future, when Your Majesty gives birth to a child, there will be nothing to worry about. "
"Please arrange it as soon as possible, Your Majesty." Qin Chuan, Tu Wan, and the others stepped forward.
Everyone could see that the empress liked Ren Baqian very much. Since that was the case, it was better to settle the marriage as soon as possible so that the empress could give birth to a child. This was also a good thing.
The empress was already a little embarrassed and nervous, but when she saw everyone speaking up, she immediately became angry and asked, "Are you forcing me?"
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows, and an ominous glint flashed in her eyes.
"We just hope that Your Majesty's marriage can be settled as soon as possible so that we can rest assured," everyone said.
"Forget it. You can make the arrangements and report to me later," the empress raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice.
After that, he stood up and walked out of the main hall. Not long after, his face turned red and steam began to rise from his head. White steam rose up to a height of ten feet. From afar, he looked like a moving human-shaped chimney.
Thinking that she was actually going to marry that guy, the empress felt that her brain was about to overload and stop working.
After the empress escaped, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Even Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan, who were usually at odds with each other, didn't pick on each other.
It could be said that everyone had watched the empress grow up.
Even if the empress's identity was disregarded, an event like the wedding of the empress was extremely important to them.
"Dayao has not been established for a long time, and Your Majesty is the only woman. There is really no precedent! How is this marriage going to be arranged? Is it going to be arranged according to the customs of Grand Xia or according to our ancient race's customs? "Qin Chuan had a strange expression on his face.
"Of course we'll follow the ancient race's rules!" Zhuo Yan, the Minister of Justice, grinned.
Then, everyone's expression turned strange.
According to the aboriginals' marriage arrangements, the parents had to go to the aboriginals' house to discuss the marriage. No one knew where the old emperor had gone, and no one had heard of Ren Baqian's parents. This was easy to arrange.
Then, he would send over a number of prey. This would depend on the strength of the man. The stronger the prey, the stronger the man, and the more respect he would have.
The problem was the beating of the bride!
Yes, a kiss!
The woman's family had to send out experts to block the way, and the man had to fight his way up … and in the end, he had to defeat the woman herself …
Of course, after the betrothal, the bride's family would send people to stop them. This was mainly to show off their strength. Simply put, it was to show off their muscles so that they wouldn't be bullied in the future.
As long as the male side displayed his strength, it would be fine. Usually, they would exchange three to ten moves, depending on the situation at the time.
As for getting past the girl herself, if they were in love with each other, the girl would go easy on him.
However, with Ren Baqian's small physique, even if he went easy on them, who could he beat? Even if he went easy on them, he couldn't beat them!
He would fall to the ground with just one finger!
After all, the aboriginals respected the strong, and it was rare for a woman to find a husband who was weaker than her. Even if he was slightly weaker, the difference wouldn't be too big, and the ceremony would be more or less acceptable.
However, the empress found such a weak husband, which was rare among the aboriginals. Even if she wanted to go easy on him, it would be difficult. Needless to say, there would definitely be a few officials from the court blocking the way, most likely Hong Wu!
Then what? Ren Baqian stretched out his finger, and Hong Wu would fall to the ground? Even if Hong Wu was too strong, Tong Zhenye and the others wouldn't be able to do it! These people still had a sense of shame! Even if they were acting, they couldn't act so fake!
Not to mention the empress herself.
He wouldn't be able to beat her even if her hands and feet were tied up.
If they followed the customs of the aboriginals, how would they beat the bride?
"Why don't we follow the customs of Great Xia?" Tu Wan suggested.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for our aboriginal empress to marry according to the customs of Great Xia! If word gets out, we will be ridiculed! "someone immediately objected.
Everyone nodded.
They didn't even need to think about the customs of Great Xia.
Even though Her Majesty had agreed, it was difficult for everyone to arrange the wedding.
After all, there was no precedent.
Furthermore, Ren Baqian was too weak.
"Why don't we discuss this matter later and set the date of the wedding first?" Xuan Hua, the Minister of Rites, frowned.
"Should we inform the General-in-Chief who Supports the Nation?" someone else asked. After all, Hong Wu and the empress had a very good relationship. Even though they weren't like father and daughter, they were close.
How could they not let Hong Wu know about this?
"In that case, use the radio to contact Hong Wu first! Everyone else, go back and think about how to arrange the wedding and see if there are any good ideas! "Shi Qing said.
