1402 Great Celebrations (1/2)
Su Lingyun saw Tang Xiu, then replied in a disapproving tone, ”I'm not interested in knowing about the great happenings in your empire. Xiu'er, come help me convince your brother. He's already quite old, yet he still doesn't want to get married and have children. Look, I already have white hairs from you, and now him…”
Tang Xiu laughed and replied, ”Mother, since he doesn't want to get married and have kids yet, then you shouldn't nag him about it. If the time comes, then he might marry really quickly. Mother, do you not want to hear some great news?”
Good news?
Su Lingyun suddenly got excited. She immediately walked over to Mu Wanying, then hurriedly asked, ”Are you pregnant?”
Mu Wanying immediately blushed and shyly nodded her head.
Su Lingyun's eyeballs popped out of her sockets and she became extremely excited. She hurriedly asked again, ”Really? I… I'm about to become a grandma?”
Tang Xiu's handsome face suddenly had a confused expression. He didn't expect that his mother would be able to guess that Mu Wanying was pregnant straight away. How much did she want grandchildren?
After a short while.
All of the upper echelons in the Great Tang Empire received a piece of confirmed news: The queen of the Great Tang Empire, Mu Wanying, was now pregnant. This news spread throughout the empire like wildfire.
As a result of this news, Tang Xiu's plans to head to the Missing Star Empire were delayed.
Misty Spring Ocean, Fragrant Garden Island.
Inside a palace, two elderly people, one male and one female, were resting on their knees. They were reading the contents from many jade slips. Suddenly, the old lady looked up, then gazed at the girl sitting at the window and said, ”Commander, I have news.”
The girl turned her head and asked, ”What is it?”
The old lady replied, ”We just received news that the Great Tang Empire has produced their first heir. One of the empresses of the Great Tang Empire, Mu Wanying, is confirmed to be pregnant. She will soon be bearing their first heir.”
The girl paused, then sent out a Communication Signet. Then, she replied, ”Our lady commanded us to build an intel network in the Great Tang Empire. Although we have put our best efforts forward, the Great Tang Empire's intel network is still better than ours. In the last 100 years, we have lost far too many men. Now, we have finally received something useful.”
The old lady smiled bitterly and replied, ”The Emperor of the Great Tang Empire is quite similar to our Empress. They both place great emphasis on information. As for our intel network, there are frequently problems regarding getting found out, which causes holes in the intel network. When will this come to an end?”
The girl shook her head and replied, ”Our empress is surely familiar with the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire. Otherwise, she wouldn't be this cautious towards the Great Tang Empire. Furthermore, she wouldn't be this focused on the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor either.”
Immortal World, Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Domain.
There was an unbelievably tall and large palace. The roof of this palace pierced the clouds in the sky, and it was covered in black. Hundreds of layers of arrays engulfed this palace, and there were also countless Immortal soldiers guarding this place. The palace was guarded exceptionally heavily.
”Hm?”
There was a Golden Perfected Golden Immortal Stage cultivator, donning black battle robes with a red cloak. Her beautiful face suddenly twisted into one of astonishment. After grabbing the Communication Signet, she didn't even dare to read the contents of the Communication Signet. Instead, she quickly entered the palace.
”Empress.”
The person, Dark Wind, appeared in front of the Missing Star Venerable, seated on her Nine Winds Cathedra, then respectfully said, ”We have news from the Great Tang Empire. Empress, please have a look.”
The Missing Star Venerable, in her long black robes and donning a black mask, slowly raised her head. Then, she grabbed the Communication Signet and read the contents of the Signet. After reading it, her body, covered in dark clothing, shook a little. Her whole body was covered entirely in black as if a moving mass of black smoke covered her body.
”I got it. Dismissed.”
Dark Wind paused for a second. She realized that there was a hint of instability in the Empress' voice.
Two days later.
The Missing Star Venerable issued an imperial decree which stated: ”I'm sealing myself away for a hundred years. Supreme Murong is to act as my proxy and govern the Missing Star Empire. Unless the nation is at risk of being destroyed, I'm not to be disturbed.”
In a blink of an eye, half a year had already passed.
Great Tang Empire.
After the loud cry of a baby was heard, flashes of light were seen flying in all directions from the palace of the Great Tang Empire.
”The prince has been born! Rejoice! Rejoice!”
Tang Xiu stood at the end of the bed, holding his newborn son. He was extremely excited, having a sense of fatherhood and a blood connection to this newborn baby. However, his emotions were quite complicated. The things of the past were still hidden in the depths of his heart. All of these old feelings were still as clear as day as the scenes flashed in his mind. It still pained him.
...
”Lord husband, Supreme Myriad Herbs is here. He's going to examine us. I hope that there aren't any problems with us.”
”Lord husband, Qincheng is so happy! We have no problems at all. I want to bear a child for us as soon as I can!”
”Lord husband, it's already been six times. Supreme Myriad Herbs has already come six times. Why is it that our bodies are healthy, and yet I'm unable to bear your child?”
”Lord husband, I envy Ying Wei. She's only around two thousand years old, and yet she already has six children.”
”Lord husband, I really want to further your bloodline.”
