He begins by being granted the title of King of Qin and builds the supreme immortal court of the Gre

Purple Extreme Gate!

Xiao Ling looked toward the main gate located in the center of the palace.

As the King of Qin of the Great Xia Dynasty, he naturally understood the significance of the Purple Extreme Gate, and that his own father was now giving him such great treatment.

Traveling with the Emperor...

at the same time.

The civil and military officials of Dongjiang Prefecture who were following behind were also extremely excited.

Xiao Ling, the King of Qin, was granted the Eastern Frontier Continent.

Your subject's status is due to your lord's influence.

The fact that His Highness Prince Qin is so highly regarded by the current Xia Emperor, and that he is even allowed to walk through the Ziji Gate, even if it is simply a gesture of favor and recognition, will definitely cause controversy and speculation from the outside world.

"Is His Majesty's action a sign that he intends to depose...?"

A young official from the Eastern Frontier muttered under his breath.

"shut up!"

Yang Ding, the Great Feather, immediately rebuked, "Under the Emperor's nose, how dare we presume to speculate on matters of the court and the state!"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials of Dongjiang Prefecture immediately fell silent, not daring to utter the slightest inappropriate remark.

Xiao Ling looked up at the Purple Extreme Gate, then immediately dismounted and strode into the wide-open gate.

The palace guards on both sides of the gate followed closely behind.

After Xiao Ling, the King of Qin, stepped inside, the originally wide-open Purple Gate slowly closed once again.

As for the Qin King's official residence procession behind them, they quickly entered through a side gate on the right.

......

Phoenix Cloud Palace!

The courtyard where the Empress resided.

As soon as Xiao Ling returned, he hurried over to see his mother.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, the palace ladies on duty immediately recognized the visitor's identity.

"This servant greets you..."

Before the other party could speak out loud, Xiao Ling immediately waved his hand to stop them.

After crossing the palace gate, Xiao Ling quickly arrived at the courtyard where his mother lived.

Because of the birthday celebration, the entire Fengyun Palace was bustling with activity, and Empress Murong Yan was directing all the servants and maids in the palace to do their work.

Xiao Ling gestured to the surroundings, and the servants and maids present, being perceptive, all pretended to be normal and did not show any unusual behavior.

Upon reaching Empress Murong Yan, Xiao Ling immediately knelt down and said:

"Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress! May Your Majesty enjoy good health and live a long and prosperous life..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Murong Yan turned her head and saw Xiao Ling kneeling on the ground.

A gentle smile instantly appeared on his face as he said, "You little rascal, you came back so quietly."

As they were talking, Empress Murong Yan stepped forward and reached out to help Xiao Ling up.

He looked Xiao Ling up and down.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, he's grown strong and sturdy, truly living up to the legendary Qin King's heroic bearing."

Although he was in the imperial city, the outstanding achievements of his five sons in the Eastern Frontier Continent had already reached his ears long ago.

"If it weren't for Mother Empress, would I be here?"

"Most of these heroic figures belong to the Empress Dowager."

Hearing these words, Empress Murong Yan smiled broadly, clearly pleased.

The opponent reached out and lightly tapped Xiao Ling's forehead, saying, "Your mouth is as sweet as honey, but no matter how eloquent you are, it doesn't necessarily mean you can trick the Empress into bringing back a beautiful daughter-in-law."

"Mother, how can you talk about lying in the adult world?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't met the right one yet. If I really get the feeling, I might bring a whole bunch of them with me. I guarantee you'll be overwhelmed by the sight."

Xiao Ling spoke with utmost seriousness.

Empress Murong Yan smiled and said, "You rascal, you never act properly."

The emperor and the royal family did not have such restrictions within the Xiao clan.

Outside the palace, Xiao Ling is the powerful and ruthless Prince of Qin of the Great Xia Dynasty, who inspires fear in all sides. Inside the palace, however, he is just an ordinary member of the Xiao family.

"His Majesty is here!"

A voice rang out from outside the hall.

A moment later, Emperor Xia strode into the main hall.

"My son, I have met my father."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you."

"Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Inside the palace, a group of servants and maids hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground.

As soon as Emperor Xia entered the hall, he glanced at Empress Murong Yan.

"Your Majesty, I have had the Imperial Kitchen prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for you. Please eat some quickly."

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

Murong Yan bowed slightly.

The couple understood each other perfectly and immediately dismissed the servants and maids in the palace.

In a short while, only the emperor and his minister remained in the hall.

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang of Xia sized up Xiao Ling in front of him.

In a short period of time, the other party made a trip to the Eastern Frontier Continent, achieving great feats in territorial expansion. At first glance, it was indeed quite different.

In particular, he sensed the aura emanating from Xiao Ling.

When one probes into it with one's divine sense, it is like plunging into a vast ocean, where nothing can be found at all.

However, considering what happened before, I can barely accept it.

His birth was accompanied by extraordinary celestial phenomena!

A mysterious old man!

A powerful sacred body!

My five sons were born extraordinary; they were definitely children of destiny blessed by heaven and earth.

"Not bad, better than I was back then!"

He ruled the dynasty and worked hard for most of his life. What's wrong with having a truly gifted son?

However, while Xiao Ling was outstanding, Xiao Tianhuang, the ruler of the dynasty, was increasingly worried.

aside.

Xiao Ling looked at his father.

He was naturally aware of the other party's probing.

However, there is no need to hide it at all.

Furthermore, they knew what was on his mind.

A father is naturally happy when his son is outstanding, but a ruler, while happy, will inevitably have some worries.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a moment.

"We'll have a proper get-together after your mother's birthday celebrations are over."

"Ah."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly.

......

Bactrian Palace.

In front of the Golden Palace.

On important holidays, ceremonies are held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony within the palace.

The last time there was such a lively scene was when Xiao Ling was promoted to the title of Prince of Qin.

After the ceremony concluded, the emperor's princes, ministers, and regional vassal kings presented their birthday gifts.

"The Right Chancellor Liu Huai presents: five sets of century-old golden sable furs and ten pieces of jade porcelain."

"The Prince of Xining presents: a piece of jadeite bamboo and a fine steed that can travel a thousand miles."

“Prince Zhang, presents: a set of fine jade jewelry and a painting celebrating his 100th birthday.”

"King of Chu, presenting: a piece of thousand-year-old warm jade and a set of brocade and gold-threaded clothing."

.....

In no time, the princes and nobles of the Great Xia Dynasty began to send out birthday gifts.

These treasures piled up like mountains.

Soon, King Xiao Ling of Qin arrived with a team of palace guards, carrying over a dozen prepared birthday gifts.

With the arrival of the King of Qin, countless nobles and dignitaries present turned their gazes toward him.

Which dynasty currently possesses the strongest momentum?

That was undoubtedly the King of Qin of the Great Xia Dynasty, whose prestige even subtly surpassed that of the current Crown Prince Xiao Yuan.

Countless people are very curious about what kind of precious gift this emperor will present when he returns to the palace to celebrate the empress's birthday.
