Chapter 762: Backing of the Western Jin Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Dragon Spring Sword of the Western Jin Emperor was not an ordinary sword. It was the personal sword of the founding emperor of the Western Jin. It had been passed down from generation to generation and was the best symbol of the emperor’s status other than the jade seal.

Emperor Jing Xuan had also been to the Western Jin Dynasty. He had seen the Dragon Spring Sword before. Even if he had never seen it, there were many picture books about the Dragon Spring Sword. Other than some women present, almost everyone recognized it.

A moment ago, some were still saying that no one was backing him up. At this moment, he pulled out the Western Jin Emperor’s Dragon Spring Sword. This was no longer a slap in the face, but a rub of his face on the ground!

Xiao Duye was dumbfounded.

What was wrong with this guy? Why did he have the Western Jin Emperor’s Dragon Spring Sword?

Within a day, no, to be precise, within two hours, he was slapped in the face twice by Zhuge Qing. Xiao Duye’s face was swollen like a pig’s head.

The cold Dragon Spring Sword stabbed into the reflective purple flower stone floor. How could that move be used by a piece of trash?

Even though he no longer had internal strength, he was definitely a top martial artist.

In the hall, those who recognized the Dragon Spring Sword and those who did not fell silent.

The musicians stopped.

The event location was silent.

“The dates are a little too sweet. Eat this.”

Jing Yi, who was outside the situation, suddenly said this. The entire side hall was filled with his serious and innocent voice.

Marquis Weiwu also came today and sat beside the seat of the Lu Public House.

He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Jing Yi had been focused on choosing snacks for Su Xiaoxiao and did not pay attention to what was going on. He turned around and looked at the sword on the ground, then at the trembling musicians in the middle of the hall. “Why aren’t you playing music?”

The musicians hurriedly continued playing.

The music began. Everyone drank wine or tea. The dancers also surged into the center and danced hard with smiles.

The awkwardness was covered up by embarrassment.

Emperor Jing Xuan drank his tea with a dark expression.

Wei Qing rejected his good intentions in public, making him feel a little embarrassed as an emperor. However, compared to Wei Qing’s attitude towards King Liang, it made people feel that his “unwillingness” was really not offensive.

Of course, there was still some embarrassment.

He originally thought that Zhuge Qing was only a strategist beside the Eldest Prince of the Western Jin and was lucky to be valued by the Western Jin

Emperor because of Yuwen Huai. Naturally, he admitted that Zhuge Qing had some talent, but no emperor would give a strategist a treasure second only to the jade seal, right?

Wasn’t the Emperor of the Western Jin going too far?

The Empress said to the eunuch in charge beside her, “Pour the wine.”

The eunuch in charge looked at his master in shock. His Majesty had just suffered a setback, and she was already drinking to celebrate. Was she watching the show?

After Wei Qing stabbed the sword into the ground, he did not pull it back immediately. It was stabbed into the ground openly, coincidentally facing Xiao Duye. Xiao Duye was furious every time he looked at it. He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

The others looked at Mr. Zhuge differently. If they were only polite to him because of Emperor Jing Xuan, they really felt his strength now.

While he did not hold an official position, he was like a powerful minister. Under one person, he was above ten thousand people!

The daughter of the Lu Public House was really not worthy of him.

Consort Yu’s face burned, let alone Madam Lu. Being rejected in public would ruin her daughter’s reputation in the future.

She knew it. She should have said that it was for Su Mo. Why would she find someone from Western Jin? It was not reliable at all!

Oh right, Su MO!

Su MO was from the Great Zhou Dynasty. His Majesty should be able to make the decision!

As long as His Majesty gave Su MO a marriage, the face of the Lu Public House would be restored!

The Old Marquis said, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Oh, it’s nothing. Mr. Zhuge has a sister and admires Eldest Cousin’s talent very much. If Eldest Cousin doesn’t have a match yet, he might be able to facilitate a marriage. Mr. Zhuge, what do you think?”

Wei Qing smiled. “I couldn’t ask for more.”

He was unwilling to accede to Emperor Jing Xuan’s suggestion, but he could not ask for more from Su Xiaoxiao and the Su family. It was a double standard.

The Old Marquis pretended to say, “Aiya, no problem!”

Duchess Lu felt a turbid breath in her chest.

How could she still ask His Majesty to propose in public? His Majesty could not break up the couple. In the past, it was fine, but… Wei Qing had even pulled out the Dragon Spring Sword of the Western Jin Emperor today and had yet to take it back.

Did Emperor Jing Xuan have nothing better to do and look for trouble again?

Matriarch Wei heaved a sigh of relief.

As expected of her grandson, he should be so stubborn.

The Wei family served the country loyally and was worthy of the heavens and the commoners. In the end, they only ended up being wrapped in horse leather and their military power was divided.

When the Wei family’s men died in battle and only Wei Ting was left, how did those snobs in the capital look down on the Wei family? It was time to let them suffer.

Wei Ting picked up his wine glass and was about to stand up.

Old Madam Wei said, “Sit down!”

It was fine if Second Brother was showing off, but at least he had the identity of the Western Jin. Why did he jump out to cause trouble?

Wei Ting opened his mouth.

“You’re not allowed to speak either.”

She Imew her biological grandsons well. She knew what they were going to fart.

If this kid caused trouble, he could forget about leaving tonight.

Wei Ting sighed regretfully. He also wanted to perform. He could not always let his second brother steal the limelight.

The three little ones could not sit still in the seats. Matriarch Wei was guarding against Wei Ting and asked him to bring them out to play.

Emperor Jing Xuan’s thoughts were disturbed by Wei Qing today, so he did not pay attention to the little fellows.

There was a small interlude at the banquet. The dancers needed a cauldron for the dance they were rehearsing, but the prop cauldron was broken, so they could only get someone to urgently move a real cauldron over.

It was already very difficult to move it. When they had to cross the high threshold, the guards could not lift it at all.

Madam Chen walked over and easily raised the cauldron with one hand, shocking the guests!

In the palace of Western Jin, the Western Jin Emperor, draped in a thick fox fur coat, picked up a memorial and coughed heavily for a long time.

Eunuch He quickly brought in a bowl of medicine and placed the medicine bowl on the table. He raised his hand and patted the back of the Western Jin Emperor to calm him down.

The Western Jin Emperor coughed until he broke out in sweat.

He had ascended the throne at the age of 25 and had been on the throne for more than 40 years. He was not young anymore. He, who had once galloped the battlefield, was no longer as high-spirited as when he was young.

He was old, his hair was white, and his back was a little hunched.

Eunuch He picked up the medicine bowl with heartache. “Your Majesty, drink

the medicine first.”

The Western Jin Emperor coughed for a long time. After calming down, he frowned and drank the bowl of bitter medicine in one gulp.

“His Majesty didn’t like to drink medicine in the past.” He took the empty bowl. The Western Jin Emperor said, “I’m old. I’m no longer young.”

Eunuch He said, “The imperial physician said that you were thinking too much, which is why the evil aura entered your body. Are you worried about Mr.

Zhuge?”

The Western Jin Emperor said, “It’s been two months. He should have arrived in the Great Zhou.”

Eunuch He smiled. “It’s Mr. Zhuge’s blessing to receive your love.”

The Western Jin Emperor paused. “No, it’s my fortune to meet him. The world is big, and the only person who knows me is him.”

A night breeze came and the Western Jin Emperor coughed again.

Eunuch He quickly patted his back to calm him down. “Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body!”

The Western Jin Emperor smiled. “I will take care.. If I die, who will support that child?”
