After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

At the same time, in the Little Imperial Master’s Mansion.

Yuan Ruan yawned and was about to turn over and hug Bingyu to sleep for a while, but suddenly someone dug him out from under the quilt.

Yuan Ruan rubbed his eyes: "Who is it?"

"It's already noon." The prince laughed warmly, "If you don't get up, Ninth Sister will be late for lunch."

Yuanruan said "Oh" and yawned lazily again.

The prince looked at her worriedly: "Why do you look listless? Are you not feeling well?" However, when the prince approached, he was stopped by a pair of chubby little hands.

Yuanruan: [It's so hot! When my nephew came over, I felt like I was wrapped in a furnace and was about to melt.]

The prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took an ice bowl from the side and handed it to Yuan Ruan: "Hold it, you can't eat it."

Yuan Ruan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rubbed his face against the ice bowl: "Thank you, brother."

Yuanruan: [My nephew, save my life. ]

The prince did not let Yuanruan linger in the cool for too long. After a cup of tea, the prince took the bowl of ice out of Yuanruan's arms with a smile, then carried Yuanruan outside.

Yuan Ruan asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

The prince said, "Several princes have come to the capital to ask for help. Father is preparing to hold a large-scale locust extermination..." After a pause, the prince changed his words and said, "Locust extermination ceremony. Ninth sister, as the national teacher, you will be responsible for lighting some incense later."

Yuanruan nodded repeatedly, and muttered to the system: [I thought the locust extermination ceremony had already been held. ]

System: [We probably have to wait for those princes to come. ]

Yuanruan: [That’s right. It’s a good opportunity to see what kind of people these princes who are troubling me are, so I can continue to spoil the story for me.]

System: [Ouch!]

The prince smiled lightly and couldn't help but hug Yuan Ruan closer. However, just a few seconds later, he was pushed away again by a pair of fleshy hands.

……

When Yuan Ruan arrived at the sacrificial site, the people from the Imperial Observatory had already arranged for Taoist priests to take the stage.

The prince put Yuanruan down, and Yuanruan slowly inserted the lit incense into the incense burner. Then, the director of the Imperial Observatory carefully carried her down.

System: [That's it? Ah Ruan, do you want to show off your skills? ]

The supervisor who was holding Yuanruan staggered, and then he suddenly squatted down and held Yuanruan steadily again.

Yuanruan: [No need. If I show off my skills, I will be the main attraction.]

System: [Ah? Why? Ah Ruan, you are the national teacher, it is natural for you to be in the Daxia altar, why are you taking over the main position? ]

Yuanruan: [Tong'er, the theme of today's altar is different. When Daxia faced a locust plague in the past, they mostly offered sacrifices to the locust god, praying that the locust god would come less often in the future. But the theme of this time's sacrifice is "man must destroy the locusts", which emphasizes that man can conquer nature. If I show off my magical powers here, people who don't know will think that the locust god has appeared, which will weaken your theme of "man can conquer nature". It's unnecessary.]

The emperor who had just come on stage felt warm in his heart: Jiuer has really grown up and is my sweet little cotton-padded jacket.

The emperor looked at the crowd of people in front of the altar. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist and pointed it to the sky.

"…I am commanded by Heaven to destroy the locust plague in the world…to comfort Heaven and the gods of all directions…" The emperor first denounced the disaster caused by locusts to Daxia, and then said that he would catch the locusts by Heaven's command and warn Heaven that there would be peace on earth.

Afterwards, the emperor said loudly: "I and all the people swear to eat locusts and eliminate the locust plague in the world."

After saying this, the emperor threw away his sword.

He grabbed the fried locusts in one hand and picked up the wine jug in the other and started eating. While eating, the emperor chatted with the many ordinary people below and introduced which part of the locusts was delicious after being fried.

Yuanruan saw that his brother was performing so hard and felt that he should give him a helping hand.

She gently hooked her little finger.

There were a few subtle thunders in the air, and soon a hole was torn in the dark clouds in the sky.

In an instant, a ray of sunlight fell right on the emperor.

This beam of sunlight stunned everyone near the altar. Almost all of them looked up at the sunlight falling from the sky, and some even unconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it.

The court officials were the first to react, and they all looked at the snickering Yuan Ruan.

I didn't tell you this would happen!

But... the young national master is really awesome, the effect is great.

Prime Minister Li suddenly bowed deeply and shouted, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven's Mandate, with majesty throughout the world, thunderous roars, and bright sun. You will surely defeat the locust plague and protect Great Xia forever! I bow in submission."

The officials of the Great Xia court were first startled by Prime Minister Li’s disgusting words: Bah, you bootlicker.

Then they all followed suit and bowed: "Your Majesty is the most majestic in the world. May you forever protect Great Xia. We, the subjects, bow in obeisance."

The common people also followed suit and knelt down, bowing and cheering to congratulate the emperor.

After the great ceremony.

The court officials stood up first, and then one by one they grabbed the fried locusts and stuffed them into their mouths.

At the same time, the more capable court officials took portions of fried locusts and walked toward the common people, eating as they walked, and promoting them to the frightened common people.

The emperor and his court officials played a huge leading role. Seeing this, the common people no longer hesitated about the locusts and began to taste them one by one.

Fried locusts tasted pretty good, especially for someone who rarely eats meat once a month.

"Eat! I didn't expect locusts to be so delicious. Ha, long live His Majesty!"

"Hello, Imperial Master! Before, we all sacrificed locusts, but the Imperial Master led us to eliminate locusts so that we would not starve. Long live the Imperial Master."

"They smell so good, I almost regret exchanging all the locusts for silver."

"Goudan, I heard that the dog king of Huainan is a bad man and the locusts are rampant. The emperor is preparing to organize a team to go south to deal with the locust plague. How about we go together!"

……

The emperor, Yuan Ruan and his party were very satisfied.

The group of people led by Prince Huainan who were standing in the corner were all stunned.

So when the Minister of Rites brought the fried locusts with a smile, the Prince of Huainan and his entourage were stunned and subconsciously reached out to put them into their mouths.

While eating, the King of Huainan stared at the people kneeling on the ground with jealousy: "How is this possible! How can he be loved by so many people?"

Prince Jing mechanically refused and pointed at the beam of sunlight above the emperor's head: "Not only the people, he is also loved by God."

The King of Yan patted the King of Huainan on the shoulder and said, "Give it up. It's better to live in peace."

Rebellion can be said to be the obsession of King Huainan.

He woke up with a start. "What are you talking about! It's impossible for me to...Yan Wang, what are you eating? Why are there insect legs in your mouth?"

The King of Yan paused, and then seemed to come to his senses. He pointed at the King of Huainan and said, "There are still three locust legs on your lips."

Prince Jing took another one and put it in his mouth. "I didn't expect the emperor to have so many tricks to deal with the locust plague. The government bought it, chickens and ducks were used, and people ate it. It tasted so delicious and crispy. I don't think the locust plague will cause any trouble this time."

Prince Yan and Prince Jing flanked Prince Huainan on the left and right, both praising the emperor's intelligence.

The King of Huainan thought of the anger of the people in his fiefdom, and then looked at the peace and prosperity here.

He felt even more upset.

Why should that murderer be the emperor? He refused to accept it!

At this time, the sacrificial ceremony ended and the crowd gradually dispersed.

The King of Huainan stood there with a gloomy face. When he was about to do something, he suddenly heard a conversation:

[Is this the King of Huainan who was destined to tragedy? ]

[Yeah. Look at his melon, he has been used all his life, tut tut tut…]

King Huainan: "Who!"

When he jumped up and wanted to curse, he was suddenly captured by Prince Jing and Prince Yan.
