After hearing these words, the emperor and the imperial concubine could not help but marvel at them.

Lu Zhenzhen then took the opportunity to talk about why the people of Nanwu like to do business, as well as some of the daily people's livelihood situations.

For example, local prices, people's daily life, how much money they spend in a year, etc.

These were probably what the emperor wanted to hear, and she interspersed them with descriptions of the people's daily lives, speaking them out calmly.

It's finally over.

Lu Zhenzhen hurriedly asked someone to bring her some tea to moisten her throat.

By the way, look at Doubao and Tangyuan. Hey, two little ancestors, have you untied and disassembled the Nine-Ring Lock and the Kongming Lock?

If it gets worse, your mother's voice will be ruined.

Perhaps because of the bond between mother and child, Lu Zhenzhen just looked over.

Doubao and Tangyuan have stopped what they were doing and said, "It's solved (the puzzle is done)."

Lu Zhenzhen couldn't wait, but she calmly put down the cup and looked at the emperor.

The imperial concubine beside her had already spoken up for Lu Zhenzhen: "Your Majesty, Le An has been talking for half a day, shouldn't she at least be allowed to rest?"

"It just so happens that the two children are well now. Shall we go and see them?"

Chengzi also tugged at the emperor's sleeve: "Mother said she was tired, let's take a rest."

The emperor smiled, put the orange down from his lap, and stood up.

Over there, Doubao and Tangyuan had finished putting the pieces together. They took the untied Nine Links and the reassembled Kongming Lock and trotted over to Lu Zhenzhen to present their treasures: "Mom, mom, we've finished putting the pieces together."

"Mom, am I awesome?"

"I'm awesome! I'm even better than Tangyuan!"

"Mom, who is better between us?"

……

Before Lu Zhenzhen could say anything, the emperor spoke first: "Why don't you two compete in front of all of us? Whoever solves it first will be the most powerful one."

Doubao and Tangyuan looked at each other, their eyes lit with fighting spirit, and nodded heavily: "Okay."

Doubao and Tangyuan looked around, then both stepped forward and said in a negotiating tone, "How about you be the referee?"

The emperor asked with a smile, "Why do you ask me to be the judge?"

Doubao and Tangyuan said in unison: "Because you seem fairer."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, his eyes curved with laughter: "Okay! I will be the judge."

With a wave of his hand, someone brought up the new Nine Rings and Kongming Lock.

Doubao and Tangyuan were not afraid of strangers and sat down between the emperor and the crowd.

Then each of them took one in his hand and looked at the emperor.

The emperor signaled to start, and the two men lowered their heads, their hands moving quickly and orderly without a moment's pause.

It is obvious that he has already memorized the solution.

All we saw were the two little guys moving their hands non-stop, almost making flowers appear.

Within the time it took to burn an incense stick, the two of them stopped what they were doing almost at the same time and spread out their palms to show the emperor.

The emperor watched the two children's actions with keen eyes and naturally knew that they had really untied the knot by themselves.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Well, well, well, both are amazing! I declare that you two brothers are equally amazing, on par with each other."

Doubao and Tangyuan were already used to this kind of operation, because every time they competed in the past, the result was almost the same.

No more worries.

After looking at each other, they both bowed before the emperor: "Fu Jiaze (Fu Jiashen) greets His Majesty, long live His Majesty."

Seeing his two brothers kneeling down to pay their respects, Chengzi finally understood a little. He also followed his brothers and knelt down, "Fu Jiacheng pays respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty—"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, gestured for the three children to be lifted up, and brought them in front of him, then looked at them for a long time.

Then he slowly asked, "How do you know my identity? Did your parents teach you how to recognize people at home?"

Doubao replied clearly, "Because my father told us that His Majesty is the most powerful person in the world. He doesn't need to be taught, he can be recognized just by looking at him!"

Tang Yuan also said: "Besides, only His Majesty can wear the dragon robe in this world!"

The implication is that the two of them deduced the emperor's identity based on this.

Although adults understand this principle, two five-year-old children can deduce the emperor's identity based on these two points. They are really smart.

The imperial concubine and others looked at the bean buns and glutinous rice balls with approval.

The emperor beckoned Doubao and Tangyuan to come closer, holding one each hand before continuing, "Did your father really tell you that I am the most powerful person in the world? Do you think I am the most powerful person in the world?"

The imperial concubine's eyes changed, and she looked at Doubao and Tangyuan nervously.

He glanced at Lu Zhenzhen again.

Lu Zhenzhen was also holding her breath. Just as she was about to speak, Chengzi suddenly spoke up: "Yonglong Yonglong, the crops will not be infested with insects. Yonglong Yonglong, business will be booming."

What is this ghost?

Everyone looked at Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen awkwardly stepped forward to explain, "This is a folk proverb from the people of Nanwu. It says that your majesty's grace has blessed the land, preventing insects from infesting the crops and ensuring a bountiful harvest."

"Your Majesty has reopened the Maritime Customs Office, allowing their businesses to flourish and every family to prosper. These are all folk proverbs used by the people of Nanwu to praise Your Majesty's kindness. I don't know how the child got to know them."

The emperor frowned, and after carefully savoring these two sentences, he laughed heartily, which was rare for him.

"What a wonderful Yonglong Yonglong! The crops are free from insects. Yonglong Yonglong, business is booming!"

Lu Zhenzhen said cautiously, "These are just the ignorant children of your servants. They actually brought these folk proverbs into the palace. Your Majesty, please forgive us!"

"What crime have I committed? If it weren't for my three children, I wouldn't have known that the people actually evaluated me in this way!"

The emperor was extremely happy at this moment, and felt that he was indeed a wise ruler.

Otherwise, there would not be such a proverb among the people to praise him.

This is an achievement worthy of being recorded in history books!

The emperor was in a good mood.

The consequence of great success is naturally a great reward, a great reward.

In a word, he asked the chief eunuch to open his private storehouse and find things suitable for the three children.

This was still not enough. After pondering for a moment, he ruffled Chengzi's hair, who hadn't realized what he had said to make the master so excited. "Chengzi, right? Her two brothers already have titles and enjoy the benefits of the Cloud Cavalry. Chengzi, on the other hand, has nothing, and I can't favor one over the other. In this case, I will make Chengzi the village chief and grant her the title of Nanyue."

Everyone was shocked. This was a title using a place name, and it was unique in this dynasty.

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she knelt down and refused to accept it. Using a place name as a title meant something different. Although he was still just a village chief, the meaning was different. She was afraid that something might go wrong in the future.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Chengzi brought the voices of the people of South Vietnam to me. The title of Nanyue was also to let me know that I am wholeheartedly working for the world, and that the people of South Vietnam have never let me down."

Having said that, what else can Lu Zhenzhen say?

Of course I brought the oranges to express my gratitude.
