Chapter 1508 Get Down
"Welcome to the Emperor, Your Majesty, and the Third Prince to return to the capital!"
When all the civil and military officials saw the procession with flags flying, they knelt down in large numbers.
The emperor captured Beiling and returned to the imperial court in victory. This is a major event that will be recorded in history. Also, the emperor brought back a woman, and I heard that he was very close to that woman along the way.
All the officials were very excited. Firstly, Da Ming became stronger and its territory became wider; secondly, the emperor finally wanted to accept a woman.
Those people were not only excited because they had girls of the right age in their families, but also because some of them were really excited because Jing Yu would have an heir soon after his death, and the country would become more stable.
"My son has met his mother! Let the father and the queen worry, because the son is unfilial!" Jing Yu and Jing Yang both knelt down in front of Shangguan Ruoli.
Seeing that their mother had lost a lot of weight and her delicate makeup could not hide her haggard appearance, they felt guilty and distressed.
"It's good to come back!" Shangguan Ruoli held his son with one hand, his voice choked with sobs.
This is truly a reunion after separation, and the feelings in my heart are very complicated.
"Mother..." Jingyang was a little younger after all, and had escaped death again. Now that he saw his mother, tears welled up in his eyes.
Jing Xi knew that Jing Yang cared most about the prince's image, and was afraid that he would cry in public and lose his dignity and be upset later, so he changed the subject with a smile and said, "Why don't you quickly introduce your savior?"
Jing Yu turned sideways, letting out Ji Minmin behind him, and introduced: "Queen Mother, this is Ji Minmin."
Shangguan Ruoli quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the masked woman with a pleasant look.
Wearing a moon-white dress with wide sleeves and no complicated patterns, it is simple but not simple, making her look slim and graceful. She has a tranquil and long-lasting temperament, which is somewhat similar to Jing Yu's temperament.
In particular, those eyes are beautiful and calm, yet clear and agile, with the wisdom to look down upon everything.
Shangguan Ruoli knew that those who cultivated immortals all practiced purity of mind and few desires, and were pure and inactive, so it was reasonable for Ji Minmin and Jing Yu to have similar temperaments.
Jing Yu asked Ji Minmin to be the queen, maybe the two of them could have a double cultivation or something to improve their cultivation.
Ahem, Shangguan Ruoli, an old man who is not a cultivator, actually thought about the situation of his son being relegated to an immortal, and his daughter-in-law being a dual cultivator.
Ji Minmin stood up and saluted Shangguan Ruoli, "Ji Minmin has met the Queen Mother!"
The sound is very pleasant, like a mountain spring.
"Excuse me!" Shangguan Ruoli held her arm to prevent her from bowing down. Because of the close distance, he could vaguely see her true face under the veil.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't expect that the person who saved my two sons would be such a young and beautiful woman."
Ji Minmin also smiled and said: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so young and beautiful, just like Ayu's sister."
The little mouth is quite sweet, which makes Shangguan Ruoli very happy.
Who doesn’t want to hear others praise themselves for being young and beautiful?
It seems that although he is reclusive, he is not unreasonable.
Ling Yao smiled and said, "Stop praising each other and go back to the palace first."
The eldest princess’s joke caused a burst of good-natured laughter from the people who were picking up the car.
So everyone got on the car, sedan, and horse, and entered the city together.
Dongming Ziyu felt a little resentful that his wife only looked at his son and daughter-in-law, and didn't even look at him.
Hum hum! Dare to ignore him and see how he deals with her when he goes back!
Ji Minmin did not ride a horse, but Ling Yao held her arm affectionately and got into the princess's carriage.
In fact, Ling Yao was not an acquaintance, and she was so "intimate" with Ji Minmin when they met for the first time.
But she felt that it was inappropriate for Ji Minmin to walk side by side with Jing Yu in front of the civil and military officials and the people of the capital before she became the queen.
This will not only make Jing Yu impeached by the censor, but will also make Ji Minmin the target of public criticism.
Ji Minmin didn't expect so much. Her eyes were exhausted. She had never seen such a big city, such tall buildings, and so many people!
Sitting in the carriage, she opened the curtain openly and looked outside, "It's so lively, there are so many people. Their clothes are so beautiful!"
Ling Yao also learned about the situation in Ji's secret realm from Jing Yu and Jing Yang's letters. She knew that their population there was only thirty to forty thousand, and they were very backward in terms of textiles and manufacturing. The only cloth available was cheesecloth and satin yarn.
Silk has none of these.
"If you like, I have a lot of them, pick some to make clothes for you."
Ji Minmin smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Princess. Actually, I would like to learn these techniques and bring them to our place, so that I can exchange them with our things."
What she was thinking about was how to dress her people in beautiful clothes.
Ling Yao understood very well that as a princess, when she saw something novel, her first thought was how to benefit the people.
"But if you communicate with the outside world, does that still count as seclusion?"
Ji Minmin said: "We are not completely isolated from the world. My father comes out twice a year to purchase some necessary things that we don't have there but need. Silk is not a necessity."
Ling Yao nodded, "Then what do you usually purchase?"
Ji Minmin said: "It is usually medicinal materials and food. We need to refine medicine for cultivation. Although it is good to have spring like four seasons in the secret realm, it also limits the types of food and medicinal materials."
Ling Yao is not indifferent to grains, and she also understands these principles, "Then what do you give in exchange?"
"Gems, we have a lot of colorful gems there." Ji Minmin said calmly, looking at the scene on the street curiously.
The people along the street shouted long live the mountain and knelt down to salute. The scene was very shocking.
Suddenly, many small black bombs were shot out from the crowd, targeting Jing Yu, Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yao.
"Ah!" the people screamed in horror.
Shangguan Ruoli shouted loudly with his inner strength: "Everyone get down!"
The opponent's target is them. As long as the people lie down to protect themselves, there won't be too many casualties.
However, in the face of life and death, the people ran away according to their own standards, and the situation instantly became chaotic.
Shangguan Ruoli could have kicked the bomb away, but this was in a busy city, and the streets were full of spectators, shops and houses.
If you completely disregard the lives of so many people in order to protect yourself, you will definitely lose the support of the people.
However, if everyone is dead, what's the use of trying to win over the people?
The struggle only lasted for a moment, Shangguan Ruoli was about to jump up.
I saw Jing Yu pushing and turning his hands, and the bombs flying everywhere gathered together.
At the same time, there was a sound of the carriage breaking into pieces, and Ji Minmin stepped out of the carriage.
She floated in the air like a fairy, slapped the bombs with her palm, and a cold wind came out.
Everyone saw that wherever the wind of her palm passed, everything was covered with a layer of frost, and even the air condensed into ice crystals.
I saw those ice crystals rotating and condensing around the bombs with the wind of Ji Minmin's palm, instantly enclosing the bombs in a huge ice ball.
Due to technical limitations, current bombs are like firecrackers and need to be lit with fuses. Since then, many fuses have been extinguished by freezing.
But there are fuses that burn into the bomb. If it explodes, it will still detonate other bombs, which will be more powerful.
Chapter completed!
