After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

The chief eunuch, holding a whisk in his arms, went down to take the tray from Bater's hand and said, "If you get this national seal, you can get Xi Luo."

The emperor took a look at the imperial seal on the tray and nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Bater, there will be officials from Dongxia stationed in Xiluo in the future, and the people of Xiluo are the people of Dongxia.

I assure you that the rights and interests enjoyed by the people of Dongxia will be enjoyed by the people of Xiluo as well."

Bater performed the Dongxia etiquette towards the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Bater wishes Your Majesty a speedy recovery and the benefit of all people."

The emperor raised his hand and asked him to leave. There were still many things to do in the court today waiting for the emperor to arrange.

"My dear ministers, the unification of Xiluo and Dongxia is a joyous occasion for the whole nation. However, my health is not as good as before. Today I am issuing an order to appoint the Crown Prince as regent."

Xiao Jingchuan walked to the center of the hall, knelt on his knees and kowtowed.

"I, Xiao Jingchuan, will definitely live up to the expectations of my father and the people of the world."

The Crown Prince is the regent, and the Emperor is in poor health, which means that the Emperor has to hand over everything in Dongxia Kingdom to Xiao Jingchuan.

His health might fail one day, so Xiao Jingchuan should take over sooner rather than later so that he won't be in a panic when the time comes.

"Get up. From now on, you will go to the Imperial Study to handle government affairs. The future of Dongxia Kingdom depends on you."

"Father, with Dean Wan here, you will definitely get better. Don't talk nonsense."

The emperor himself knew that his health was at its end.

"I will take good care of it. Come, please ask Lin Ting to enter the palace."

The chief eunuch shouted towards the outside of the palace: "Announce, Lin Ting to see the emperor..."

Lin Ting was wearing a royal blue brocade robe with peony branches embroidered on it with gold thread.

Over the long robe, she wore a shawl with a red background and two golden phoenixes on it, with wings spread out as if about to fly, looking lifelike.

Paired with the pearl and jewel crown on her head, the beauty complements each other perfectly, highlighting her royal nobility.

"Your Highness, I, Lin Ting, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

In the hundred years since the founding of the Dongxia Kingdom, Lin Ting is the only woman who can enter this council hall.

And all the achievements made by Lin Ting were known to all the civil and military officials. She deserved to be here.

Dongxia Kingdom’s current achievements would not have been possible without her help and planning.

Seeing Lin Ting kneeling in the hall, the emperor asked the eunuch to read the imperial edict of reward.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, the ancestral temple blesses, the wise woman Lin listens..."

The eunuch read out the imperial edict awarding Lin Ting at great length, which was filled with Lin Ting's contributions to the Dongxia Kingdom.

And everything she did for the country, including the food plan, the fox fur plan, finding water sources for the border town, and the brilliant plan to conquer Xiluo.

The chief eunuch read all these things and said at last.

"I am deeply pleased with Lin Ting's great achievements. I bestow upon her the title of First Lady of the Land, Wei Rui."

This is the first person in the world to have this honor. This title has never been given to anyone before or since, except Lin Ting.

From then on, she was no longer Shen Qingzhou's Shangshu's wife, nor was she a lady of imperial decree, but a lady of a higher title than a lady of imperial decree, Lady Weirui.

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"

"Madam Weirui, please rise. I hope you will continue to support the Dongxia Kingdom, so that it will flourish like its title, and the country will be prosperous."

Lin Ting: "Yes, I will do my best."

Shen Qingzhou looked at his wife with a face full of pride. Lin Ting was happier to receive the reward than he was to receive the reward himself.

This is his wife. Of course, his wife is not an ordinary person.

Xiao Jingchuan also had a smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be fixed on Lin Ting.

Seeing her bright and beautiful appearance, he knew that this was the woman he liked. Compared with Lin Ting's beautiful appearance, he liked Lin Ting's intelligence and soul more.

After today, the story of Lin Ting will be circulated throughout the world. Whenever the world's number one lady is mentioned, everyone will know that it is Madam Weirui.

His good reputation spread throughout the capital, and storytellers in teahouses and taverns told Lin Ting's story to the world in a vivid and colorful way.

Some people even say that if a girl is born, she should look like Lady Weirui.

Women can also contribute to the country. Whatever men can do, women can do too.

Lin Ting single-handedly raised the status of women in Dongxia Kingdom to a higher level.

They are no longer limited to busy chores at home, but can also go out to do business and socialize.

No matter where Lin Ting went in the capital, she could see Bater, the former King of Xiluo, who seemed to be following her.

That day, Lin Ting came back from inspecting Hua Yan's shop and saw him and his subordinates again.

Lin Ting let out a long sigh, turned around and walked towards the direction where he was standing.

"Bater, the emperor has left you as a hostage in the capital. What are you following me for?"

Bater gave Lin Ting a Silo salute.

"Madam Weirui, I've heard of your great name in Xiluo for a long time. You're doing such a great business, I just want to learn a thing or two from you."

Lin Ting looked at his face and saw nothing unusual. He had no support except a guard behind him.

"You want to learn business?"

Bater nodded: "Yes, I was held hostage in the capital, and Xiluo was destroyed, but I still have to continue living. Now that I am short of money, I naturally want to do something to at least make me live a decent life."

Lin Ting didn't know what Bater's purpose was. A king had become a hostage, so Lin Ting couldn't believe everything he said.

"Then you've followed the wrong person. You won't learn anything from me. You might as well look at others and maybe find something else to do."

After saying that, Lin Ting turned around and left with Bai Lu. She had already warned Bater not to follow her.

After Lin Ting left, Aying and Bater stood there for a long time, until they watched Lin Ting's carriage disappear on the street.

"My king, has the wizard released the poisonous insect?"

Bater opened the fingernail-sized box, and the transparent poisonous insect inside had already jumped onto Lin Ting's body when he was paying his respects to Lin Ting.

This insect is the most proud insect of the wizard Rama and also his last hope.

"Aying, let's go back!"

Bater's every move in the capital was monitored by someone, but sometimes there were times when his movements could not be seen.

For example, Bater was sitting at a noodle stall on the street eating noodles. There were many people at the stall, and he and an old man were eating at the same table.

Those who were monitoring him could only stand on the periphery and could not get close.

Aying took a look and saw that the people who were monitoring them were standing a little further away. He nodded to Bater and Wizard Rama.

Wizard Rama, who was eating noodles with chili peppers, threw another small box on Bater's sleeve and whispered something to him.

"King, this is the mother Gu worm. If you put it into your body, it can control the offspring for ten days.

But remember, once used, it can only be used once. After that, both the child Gu and the mother Gu will die and it will no longer be effective. Remember, use with caution."

Bater understood that as long as he could control Lin Ting, he would definitely choose the best time to use this insect.

"Father Wu, you must be careful in the capital. This is our only chance to restore our country."

Bater has never forgotten the words of the wizard Rama: He who listens to the forest will win the world.
