Chapter 7 The King and the High Priest
The tribes that came on stage later all presented their gifts cautiously and then hurried off the stage to avoid complications.
"The Kai tribe brings gifts to wish Your Majesty long life!" Soon, people from the Kai tribe came on stage.
Mo Heng had a very good impression of the tribe that sent Chu Jun to him, and paid more attention to it.
The previous process went smoothly.
Just as Tidu was about to take Mons off the stage, Mons suddenly pulled out a piece of cloth from his bosom and said, "I found this at the bottom of an ancient river, and I'm offering it to the high priest." This sudden move made everyone's heart tremble again.
Fortunately, the cloth was indeed just a piece of cloth. After the guards inspected it, it was handed over to the high priest. The Kai tribe also returned to their seats in peace.
After all the tribes had retaken their seats, the chief official of the royal city announced the start of the banquet, and the ceremonial band began to play. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, starting to drink and chat.
"That Taiyi tribe was way too bold! What were they thinking? Not only did they send a beautiful woman, but they also put her in a cage. Isn't that insulting the High Priest? Even if Your Majesty wants to accept her, he should still consider the opinions of his followers."
"Not only that, Your Majesty has never accepted any beauties in the past ten years since he ascended the throne. He gave them all to the officials below. Isn't this just flattery that backfires?"
"It's one thing to be confused once, but you've been confused twice. Now you've even offended the high priest and His Majesty."
"But the high priest is truly merciful and doesn't even get angry."
"Yes, he even persuaded His Majesty. That's incredible. When has His Majesty ever listened to advice?"
"First of all, it was remarkable that he dared to advise His Majesty at that time. The officials in charge didn't dare to say a word."
"Did you see what the high priest looked like? He was too far away."
"I only saw a figure, but that demeanor and temperament..." The official who spoke could not help but sigh as he recalled the posture as tall as the moon.
This was an exchange between nobles and governors of large tribes.
"What's wrong with you? You suddenly sent something that wasn't on the gift list. We've just gotten out of this predicament, don't make things more complicated!"
"···knew."
"What was that thing you just sent? I hope it didn't contain anything treasonous. The High Priest might be merciful and not punish you, but there's no guarantee that His Majesty won't find out. Then..."
"It's really just the ancient relics found in the ancient river. And it's not what you think."
"That's good."
This is the Kai tribe's way of holding Mons accountable for his recent actions.
"Sir, what should we do? Although His Majesty hasn't punished us, there's no guarantee that other tribes won't take advantage of the situation to suppress us."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it again... This time it's all my fault. Why can't I think of sending a beauty to His Majesty in a cage? Why can't I think of it..."
"Let's push someone out as a target now. We can't let it affect the entire tribe. It's not easy for the tribe to develop to this point."
"What about that child? He was picked up and has lost his memory. What do other people know? He is the most suitable one."
"...Okay! Find an opportunity to deal with him, and tell everyone that he's a demon from hell, who came to our tribe to deceive people. All the mistakes we made were caused by his deception, and we are innocent."
This is the Taiyi tribe that has just experienced a life-and-death moment.
The banquet below looked very lively. In previous years, Mo Heng would just drink alone to spend this boring banquet, but this year was different.
"High Priest, are you satisfied with this song and dance?" Mo Heng looked at the young man who was enjoying the song and dance.
Chu Jun thought it was just a casual question, but considering how familiar he was with Mo Heng, he knew it was probably jealousy. Suddenly, he felt like teasing him.
"Of course I am satisfied. It's rare to see such a lively banquet."
Mo Heng's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't get angry at Chu Jun. He could only cross out singing and dancing from his mind in future banquets, thinking, "This way, you can only look at me."
Chu Jun pretended to watch the performance with great interest for a while before turning to look at the man beside her.
His Majesty just looked like he was very angry with the Taiyi tribe, but now he has become serious again. He is really talented in changing his expression.
I also remembered the first time we met. He was trying to intimidate me one second ago, but the first sentence he said after meeting me was to apologize to me in a humble manner.
[Your master is so cute!] Chu Jun desperately needed to find someone to show off to, but unfortunately, there was only Pino, the little artificial intelligence, around to chat with.
In the sea of consciousness, the electronic screens in little Pino's eyes flickered, trying hard to scan and compare, trying to find anything related to cuteness on his owner, but the detection failed, and the screen turned into a snowy screen due to excessive calculations.
'Pino needs to continue improving his search capabilities!' Pino thought simply.
The poor, simple artificial intelligence didn't know that what it needed to improve was not its detection technology, but its information reserves about the folk customs of the two people's river basin.
After all, the saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" is particularly appropriate to describe Chu Yun now.
Chu Yun stood up from his seat, walked to Mo Heng, and squeezed with him on the throne.
Their skin touched, Mo Heng couldn't help but put his arm around the boy's waist to make him sit more comfortably, and the little thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, the crowd dared not look directly at the emperor's face, and could only see the high priest's movements out of the corner of their eyes, thinking that the high priest was going to toast His Majesty. Otherwise, they would have seen His Majesty holding their high priest in his arms, the young man looking up at the man with a gentle smile, and His Majesty, who was usually very serious, also raised his lips and looked at the young man, his eyes filled with deep affection that he inadvertently overflowed.
'Maybe he likes me a little bit,' Mo Heng thought.
The cheerful music continued until midnight, when the moon rose high in the sky, and then everyone gradually dispersed and returned to their homes. His Majesty, however, had already left the table with his companions when the young man yawned after having eaten and drunk his fill.
The young man in his arms had fallen asleep, his head resting on Mo Heng's shoulder, his hair brushing against Mo Heng's skin. Chu Jun put his arms around Mo Heng's neck, letting Mo Heng hold him, and did not wake up until he was put on the bed.
The white sheets, the fair-skinned beauty of a young man, the golden totem still etched on his face, his body adorned with vibrant jewels. Mo Heng thought he should have the best sculptor in the capital carve this scene, preserving it forever so he could savor it later. But then he thought of the young man's appearance, thinking even the most skilled sculptor would struggle to preserve even a tenth of it. So he gave up.
Worried that the jewelry would scratch the boy's delicate skin, Mo Heng knelt beside the bed and carefully removed the jewelry one by one. He then sent someone to fetch a basin of water, wet a cotton cloth with it, and carefully wiped off the paint on the boy's face.
The king, who had never served anyone before, did the job meticulously and skillfully, as if he had done it countless times before, and did not wake Chu Yun at all from beginning to end.
A few days after the banquet, Mo Heng would report to the temple on time every day, either telling about which official had made mistakes in the court today, or bringing rare and unique gadgets from various places to entertain Chu Yun, or giving precious gems and fabrics to make clothes for Chu Yun...
The life of a high priest was indeed dull and boring.
In the past, the high priest had no right to interfere in government affairs, but now Mo Heng did not want Chu Jun to suffer any hardship, so he did not let him take over those chores.
So, Chu Jun's daily work now is to sleep until he wakes up naturally, have lunch with the emperor after he leaves the court, chat about the gossip of the officials, and occasionally get some new and interesting gadgets or gems and ask Pino to scan the information into the database so that he can use his divine power to reproduce these little things in the future to relieve his boredom.
The young god lived a lazy life, not getting involved in small matters and relying on the old man for big things.
Although the two of them have not yet reached a mutual understanding, they live a leisurely and comfortable life.
