The Earth Is My Dantian - Chapter 242
Chapter 242: Chapter 20, eldest Princess (second update)
Lin Siyu said enviously, “The sister you like must be a rare beauty.”
Ye Sheng thought of Beauty Zhou’s devastatingly beautiful face and smiled slightly, but did not reply.
“Then how about you be the Flower Guardian Tonight?”Lin Siyu asked.
Ye Sheng looked at Lin Siyu in surprise and asked, “Why?”
“Countless people will go in once the banquet starts. My brother and his friends have a wide range of friends, so they definitely won’t be able to take care of me. I’m not bad looking, so there will definitely be sexual harassment, so please be the flower guardian for a while,”Lin Siyu said generously.
Lin Tianyun nodded when he heard that and said, “Brother Ye, we are indeed going to make friends tonight. I originally planned to take care of my sister, but since you are not willing to have a heart-to-heart with a beauty, can you take care of my sister?”
Ye sheng smiled and said, “No problem, as long as you don’t leave my side.”
Lin Siyu and Lin Tianyun immediately expressed their gratitude.
Ye Sheng just waved his hand. It was a piece of cake.
“Who is the host of this Spring River Flower Moon Night?”Ye Sheng asked curiously.
There were a hundred turreted ships, each six or seven stories tall. The construction cost was not cheap, and judging from the color, it should have just been built. This financial strength could not be underestimated.
Moreover, to be able to invite so many people from so many major factions and make so many friends, this was not something that an ordinary person could do.
Fang conglong chuckled and pointed to the sky.
Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows. “Someone from the Tian Family?”
Fang conglong nodded and said mysteriously, “Guess?”
Ye Sheng shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “I don’t care about the Tian family’s matters. Which Prince is it?”
Fang conglong shook his head and said, “It’s not the prince, but the eldest princess.”
Ye sheng frowned and asked, “Eldest princess?”
“The first princess born by His Majesty today. She is 18 years old this year. As a woman, she has the ambition of a man. She is not inferior to men and cultivates with King Ye. She is in charge of a large portion of the army,”Fang Conglong said.
Ye Sheng frowned. “The eldest princess cultivates with Lord Ye?”
Fang conglong winked at Ye Sheng and said, “That’s right. The eldest princess followed Lord ye into the army when she was 10 years old. She only came out of the army this year. Her strength overpowers all the princes. The outside world is saying that she wants to compete for the supreme throne as a woman.”
“She wants to be Wu Zetian?”Ye Sheng blurted out.
“Who is Wu Zetian?”Fang conglong was dumbfounded.
Ye sheng laughed and said, “I misspoke. Continue.”
Lin Tianyun and the others also looked at him curiously. Fang conglong was quite clear about these royal matters. He had grown up in Xianyang and had been in contact with many of them.
“The eldest princess only came back a few months ago. After she came back, Lord Ye gave her the 100,000 troops at the border. In front of the emperor and the officials, the eldest princess became the first princess to control real power. Then, she did not hide her ambition and opened a recruitment hall in Xianyang to attract talents. This made the princes very annoyed,”Fang conglong said, taking pleasure in Ye Sheng’s misfortune.
Ye sheng asked in surprise, “His Majesty has no objection to such a big show? The courtiers have no objection?”
“Who says so?”Fang conglong smacked his lips and said, “In the past few months, the letters of advice sent to Xianyang from all over the world have flooded Xianyang like snowflakes. In the imperial court, the old-school scholars impeach Prince Ye and the eldest princess every day, saying that they are working together to disrupt the Great Qin Empire.”
Lin tianyun added, “Not long ago, the eldest princess sent someone to invite the next Palace Master of His Highness Changsheng to meet. It seems that she wants to recruit us.”
“My Zeng clan also received the eldest princess’invitation,”Zeng Wen said.
“We all received it.”Yunkang, Li Changsheng, Zhou Wensheng, and Zhang Shenglin all nodded. These second-rate clans also received it.
Hearing this, Ye Sheng was dumbfounded. This first princess didn’t even care about the princes, and she didn’t even care about the ministers of the imperial court.
She did as she pleased, and her goal was very clear — she headed straight for the throne.
“So this Spring River Flower Moon Night is also an event for the first princess to attract people?”Ye Sheng said with certainty.
“Right, so we’re going up. We just need to eat, drink, and have fun. Don’t get involved in these things. I’ve heard that all of the Princes’people have come, and all of Great Qin’s legatees have come, so it’ll be quite lively,”Fang conglong warned.
“Even though we’re at the Connate realm, we can’t get involved in these things. Let’s just drink and chat with some beautiful women and watch them play,”Lin Tianyun said as he laughed.
“That’s right, we’re going up to watch the fun. The princes will definitely join forces to deal with the eldest princess this time, and it’ll definitely be quite lively,”Yun Kang said with a smile.
Ye Sheng began to ponder. The eldest princess had so brazenly revealed her thoughts. It was definitely Duke Ye who was supporting her from behind.
“The current emperor is at the peak of Spring and autumn. It’s not time for him to abdicate, right?”Ye Sheng asked doubtfully.
“Who knows? In any case, the Emperor doesn’t have any objections to this matter. However, if he doesn’t have any objections, it’s equivalent to tacitly acknowledging the eldest princess’actions. Only then did the princes become anxious. According to what I know, the first Prince and the second prince have already met and reached an alliance,”Fang conglong said.
“Brother Ye, I know a little about the grudge between you and King Ye. If you want to participate in it, that’s fine too,”Fang conglong said in a low voice.
Ye Sheng was stunned. Then, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Why should I participate in it?”
“The change of imperial power is not worth mentioning in my eyes. What I pursue is the peak of martial arts. Whether it’s the eldest princess or the princes, in my eyes, they are nothing more than that,”ye Sheng said proudly.
The enmity between him and King Ye was very deep. Ye Sheng would personally settle it and kill King ye directly. All the enmity would disappear with the wind. Why would he need to participate in the Battle of the Royal Family?
Everyone was chatting by the side of the Bie Jiang River. When night fell, the three dark places on the Bie Jiang River suddenly lit up.
It was as if someone had lifted the outer layer of darkness. The entire Bie Jiang city lit up. A hundred turreted ships of all colors hung with all kinds of gemstones, flickering with light. After that, fireworks soared into the sky, they exploded in the sky. It was incomparably beautiful.
“It has begun.”Fang conglong’s expression changed as he said.
The fireworks continued to explode. It was exceptionally beautiful. On such a night, it appeared extremely beautiful.
On those turreted ships, there were beautiful maidservants wandering about. They shuttled back and forth, their figures indistinct.
“Let’s board the ship.”Fang conglong took out a token and crushed it.
Crack!
A pink rose bloomed and slowly rose.
Not long after, an exquisite boat came to the other side of the river. An old man slowly shook the boat and the boat came to the shore. The old man said respectfully, “Welcome, Distinguished Guest. Please board the boat.”
Ye sheng smiled and said, “Is there anyone who will pick you up and send you off?”
“This young master is right. The princess said that we must make everyone happy. Tonight, there are fine wine, beautiful women, all kinds of magical treasures, and strange weapons on the boat. You can get them if you participate in the activities, and you can participate in them, Young Masters,”the old man said softly.
