Chapter 508: Merit Garden
After the funeral of King Lian, Qian Qian made a decision.
She ordered that statues of Feng Yuan and Feng Qingqing be placed in every medical clinic in Daxia.
Statues of the old King Lian were also built in the capital and in his fiefdom, and their achievements were carved on stone tablets for future generations to admire.
Thus, the Forest of Steles of Merits in the Capital was officially formed.
Qian Qian simply used the space treasures and ordered people to build a garden of merit to house the monuments and statues of loyal ministers and generals.
For a time, the court atmosphere became more and more upright, and everyone wanted to have a place in the Garden of Merit.
At the beginning of spring, many people even went to the gardens to worship spontaneously.
For a long time afterwards, the Gongji Garden was more popular than some temples.
Ten years later, the empress was 43 years old.
Inside Fengqi Palace, there was singing and dancing.
Xiao Lu looked at his imperial sister who was laughing heartlessly, then stood up and sat beside her.
Qianqian glanced at his brother, ignored him, picked up the strawberry on the table and took a big bite.
"Well, it's delicious."
Xiao Lu...
He sighed deeply and said solemnly, "Sister, it has been ten years since my last voyage to the West."
"Well," Qian Qian nodded heavily, "You can leave tomorrow."
Xiao Lu...
He glared at his sister fiercely, "Can you please not choke me when you speak?"
Money money...
"No, don't you want to go to the West?"
Xiao Lu...
Qian Qian continued, "Did I stop you?"
Xiao Lu...
Qian Qian smiled frivolously, "Who are you showing off to? Come on," he stuffed a bright red strawberry into his brother's mouth, "Eat a strawberry."
Xiao Lu...
His chest heaved violently a few times and he sat back down.
"Hahaha," Dahua smiled and moved closer to Xiao Lu, "You took your father, the emperor, your mother and the others with you on your last trip to the West."
"This time," Dahua patted her brother's shoulder, "will you take our whole family with you?"
"Yes," Sheng Lanlan also requested cheerfully, "Third Prince, please, our little kids have never left the capital."
Xiao Lu...
When will he be able to go out on his own?
He really doesn't want to drag his family along!
He tilted his head to meet the expectant yet threatening gazes of his father and mother.
Xiao Lu closed his eyes, feeling hopeless as he drank glass after glass of fruit wine.
"Ah," suddenly a palace maid fell in front of Xiao Lu, "Please forgive me, Third Prince, please forgive me, Third Prince."
I was discussing with Tongzi how to give money to my elder brother and younger brother to be crowned kings...
Looking at Xiao Lu who was splashed with wine by the little palace maid, [Hahahaha, Tongzi, is my brother in love? ]
The system sneered, [Bad luck in love. ]
He paused, [That woman is a Daxia woman trained by Japanese pirates. She was sent to the palace this time to seduce your brother.]
【Oh. 】
Don't worry about the money and continue to enjoy the singing and dancing.
Emperor Mingde and the Empress looked at each other and showed no concern.
Here, Xiao Lu stared at the palace maid with his hawk-like eyes. After a moment, he said, "Come here, this woman is disrespectful in front of the palace. Take her away and beat her to death with sticks."
"Yes."
Immediately, secret guards came and dragged the palace maid away for punishment.
[Hahaha,] Qianqian was happy, [Look, this is my brother. It would be a miracle if someone with something fishy could escape his eyes.]
The system also admired, [That's right, you have me, but your brother is truly gifted. ]
【That is. 】
Qian Qian walked to sit between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, "Father and Mother, do you still want to go to the West with Lu'er this time?"
Emperor Mingde and the Empress looked at each other from a distance and said, "Yes."
The two of them said in unison, Qian Qian tilted his head, "Is it so fun to go to the West?"
She paused, "I want to go, too."
"No."
The Queen and Emperor Mingde blurted out, and the Queen pinched her daughter's arm fiercely, "You should also be more diligent."
"Now the morning court session has been changed to once every ten days, what else do you want?"
Money money...
He rubbed his arm with a wronged look on his face, "No, even if it happens once every ten days, so what?"
"Isn't there anything wrong?"
Queen...
"Haha, yes, nothing went wrong."
She sneered, "Look at your elder brother and sister-in-law, then look at Chengfeng Ruyi, then look at your two uncles and aunts, and Mo Shiyin..."
"Okay, okay," Qian Qian immediately stopped her mother from nagging, "then they are still trying to get a seat in the Merit Garden, oh."
This time the queen was not polite at all and patted her daughter's back hard several times.
"Girl, the older you get, the more out of tune you become."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Qian Qian could do nothing but admit his mistake and beg for forgiveness in front of his mother. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Isn't it okay if I don't say anything?"
The Queen rolled her eyes at Qian Qian. Emperor Mingde felt sorry for his daughter and asked, "What are you doing? Why hit her when she's just talking?"
The queen looked at Emperor Mingde coldly.
Emperor Mingde changed the subject and said, "Yue'er, if you want to do it, don't do it yourself. Let me do it. I have thick skin and flesh and I am not afraid of pain."
Money money...
He looked at his father with a dull face and rolled his eyes at him. Before he could say anything, Ma Dequan and his wife and Lin Long came over happily.
"Your Majesty," Ma Dequan smiled cunningly, "My wife and I would also like to go on this voyage to the West."
"Me too," Lin Long raised his hand hurriedly.
Money money...
"Well, go ahead. Go if you want."
Xiao Lu heard Qian Qian's voice...
He looked at the imperial sister sinisterly, knowing that she could see clearly, so he mouthed the words: Be a human being.
Money money...
He walked to his brother's side again and lowered his voice, "Don't you see how old Lin Long and Ma Dequan are? What's wrong with taking them out for a walk?"
Xiao Lu...
"You know they are both not young anymore. On this road,"
"No," Qian Qian was very sure, "I prepared a lot of red juice and red fruits for you."
Xiao Lu...
He took a deep breath, feeling that he and his royal sister simply couldn't get along.
After the palace banquet, Xiao Lu's team sailing to the West became even larger.
A month later, everything was ready, and Xiao Lu and his family boarded the airship to the West.
The system was still arguing with Qian Qian, "Look, your father, the emperor, your mother, your eldest brother's family, your two uncles and aunts, as well as Lin Long, Ma Dequan, Lu Ping, and Ram, Luo Meimei and their whole family. 】
【besides……】
[Ahem,] Qian Qian coughed dryly, [Then we can go there by airship.]
[The sky is not as dangerous as the sea, so just go, it's okay. ]
[No,] the system said with a smile, [Qianqian, didn’t you notice?]
[All the people who can help you work for free have run away.]
Money money...
[Wait, Tongzi, can you say it again? ]
The system laughed very evilly, [Hehehe, money, I'm afraid you will have to take care of your official duties yourself from now on. ]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible.]
Qian Qian answered in a resounding voice. After seeing Xiao Lu and his party off, they searched for new cattle and horses until late at night...
The next day, she slept until noon.
[This is strange. Don’t people in their forties sleep less? ]
【Why can’t I get enough sleep every day? 】
system……
Before the system could complain, Wu Wanwan came over with brisk steps, "Your Majesty, the Spacetime Law Enforcement Team wants to see you."
