Su Shi looked around, but he couldn’t see any trace of Alia anywhere.
Chamuha shook his head and said, “Her Majesty is in the East Palace and cannot come to the State of Linlang. Only this old man is here this time.”
There is an unwritten rule between ruling states and subordinate states.
Subordinate states must pay homage to their landlords on important days.
In normal circumstances, princes or ministers would be sent, and the Crown Prince would not easily enter the territory of another country.
Afterall, this is the future king.
If there is an accident, or if he becomes a captive of another country, it will be a fatal blow to the entire country.
And the Crown Prince has died, and the other princes have been demoted to commoners.
Therefore, only the elderly prime minister can come to pay homage.
Su Shi nodded, “I see.”
There was certainly a sense of loss in his heart.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen that girl for a long time.
Chamuha signaled, “Bring those things.”
Several guards brought two boxes, containing immortal materials and spiritual treasures, the lids of which could not even be closed due to their overflowing contents.
“The New Year Festival is the grandest festival in Linlang, and this old man has been ordered to send a New Year’s gift to Sir Duke.”
Feeling the rich spiritual power inside, Su Shi joked, “It seems that you folks from Saxin have a better life now.”
Chamuha said with a smile, “Thanks to Sir Duke, life has indeed improved greatly after annexing the Lion and Gale Kingdoms.”
After hearing what the other party had said, Su Shi knew what had happened in the West Region during this time.
To maximize the interests of the annexed countries, Alia boldly promoted reforms and rebuilt the capital city right in the middle of the three countries.
Then the Lion Kingdom, the Dale Kingdom, and Saxin Kingdom itself all became satellite cities.
This move extended a vast area into the territory of the Saxin Kingdom, and at the same time, perfectly assimilated the resources of the two countries.
It became the largest country in the entire oasis.
The military camp was also relocated back to the oasis from the desert, and the armies of the other two countries had returned.
“Alia can handle things like that?”
Su Shi could only sigh.
From this perspective, that girl really had the potential of an empress.
“Oh, right.”
Chamuha took out a jade stone from his storage ring, “This is what Her Majesty asked me to bring to you.”
Su Shi reached out and took it.
The jade stone was warm and moist, and filled with a touch of spiritual energy.
It was a portrait stone.
“Don’t just stand there talking, come in and sit down.”
They were invited in.
Chamuha shook his head. “Don’t bother. We’re still far from the Weiyang Capital. We have to arrive in the Imperial Capital before tomorrow. We can’t let the Holy Empress feel that we’re not respectful enough.”
Su Shi scratched his nose.
The old man didn’t know that the Holy Empress was swinging in the yard.
He watched Chamuha and the others leave.
Su Shi’s eyes focused on the stone portrait.
It was also a form of communication, but unlike a letter, one was text, and this one was a picture.
The Stone Portrait could also store video recordings.
If you wanted to watch it, you needed to activate it in a certain way. If you opened it forcefully, it would immediately cause the picture to become damaged.
There was a unique “encryption method” between Su Shi and Alia.
Su Shi injected spiritual power into the stone portrait in a certain way.
His consciousness suddenly entered the space.
Alia looked at him with a smile, “My husband, you’re here.”
Although he knew it was a video recording, Su Shi nodded reflexively.
“My husband, I miss you so much.”
“I feel guilty towards the Empress, but because of the rules and everything, it didn’t allow me to go to Linlang to pay homage…”
Alia vaguely told him her thoughts.
Su Shi’s eyes were full of tenderness.
At the moment, Alia seemed to be thinking about something and said with a flushed face, “I know you like strange clothes like this, so I specifically asked the tailor to order some pieces. I haven’t worn them yet, I’ll show them to you first.”
She took out some clothes and immediately started changing.
Seeing the beautiful sight in front of him, Su Shi’s throat became slightly dry.
After changing clothes, she began to dance, her slender waist like a water snake, showing off her Western Region girl talent to the fullest.
“This little thief must have done it on purpose!”
Su Shi’s heart beat faster.
He couldn’t wait to fly to the Saxin Country.
After watching it repeatedly, he reluctantly withdrew his thoughts.
“It seems like it’s time to go.”
Su Shi was lost in thought.
At that moment, Feng Chaoge appeared and asked, “What are you doing standing in front of the door? Hmm? Why is your face so red?”
“Red?”
Su Shi moved the portrait stone away and said, “It’s because I saw Your Majesty’s beautiful face.”
Feng Chaoge was used to his nonsense and asked, “Has the envoy from the Saxin Kingdom left?”
Su Shi nodded, “They have left.”
Feng Chaoge sighed, “Tomorrow is the ceremony, and I have to go back.”
Although reluctant, she had no choice but to return for the sacrifice ceremony.
The past few days in Nanli City had made her feel relieved in a way she had never felt before.
No busy affairs or court affairs.
She could take off her phoenix robe, remove her beaded crown, and just be Miss Huang.
This kind of life made her very comfortable.
“Sushi.”
“Yes?”
“Let’s go for a walk, just the two of us.”
There was an unexplainable emotion in Feng Chaoge’s eyes.
Su Shi nodded, “Okay.”
They walked aimlessly along the paved road, avoiding the busy main street and wandering in the quiet alley.
The hustle and bustle and shouting became distant, making them feel very peaceful.
“This place is nice to live in too.”
Feng Chaoge said softly.
Su Shi shook his head, “Actually, I don’t have much impression of this place.”
He had entered the Demon Sect at the age of seven, and he had only returned a few times in the last ten years.
Feng Chaoge was silent, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, a jade stone suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Feng Chaoge was a little surprised, “This…”
Su Shi smiled and said, “Last time, Your Majesty gave me a jade pendant, so I thought of giving you something else.”
“Just after catching the dragon, I used the dragon tendon to make this hair stick as a New Year’s gift for you.”
“I originally wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but you will be leaving…”
Feng Chaoge looked at the translucent white jade hair stick and was momentarily lost.
Seeing that she was not speaking, Su Shi was worried, “Your Majesty, do you not like it?”
“I like it.”
Feng Chaoge came back to her senses and said, “Can you help me put it on?”
“Okay.”
Su Shi stood in front of her and slowly inserted the hair stick into her bun.
The clean white hair stick shone, making her cheeks brighter.
“Does it look good?”
Feng Chaoge’s lips slightly opened.
Su Shi nodded, “It’s beautiful.”
Before he could react, Feng Chaoge stood on tiptoe, and soon a warm feeling spread on his lips.
Su Shi was stunned.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty?”
Feng Chaoge’s cheeks were slightly red, and she whispered, “This is the New Year’s gift I prepared for you… Do you like it, do you like it?”
