Directed Leakage of Inner Voice: I Pretended to Be a God Undergoing Tribulations Chapter 359
"Your Royal Highness!" Wenren Xin gazed at Gan Tang with burning eyes, causing a faint blush to rise on her cheeks under his intense stare.
Yue Fuguang thought to herself, the relationship between these two is indeed not simple.
anwhile, Kong You also looked toward Lan Xuan'er, but Lan Xuan'er remained silent.
For the past three years, she had never been able to fathom the true depths of this Junior Preceptor.
Even those few poems circulating outside were deliberately spread by the ruler and ministers of Great Yan to build her reputation. As for the rumors growing increasingly outrageous later on, that was the work of people harboring malicious intentions.
Lan Xuan'er had always maintained her doubts about this.
While others thought Junior Preceptor Yue was afraid, only she had a faint feeling that this person was probably setting another trap for their respective countries right here!
However, rembering her mother the Empress's instructions before she ca, Lan Xuan'er sighed helplessly in her heart. Even knowing it was a pit, it seed her only option was to jump right in.
Xi Ling looked at Yue Fuguang. "What kind of wager does Junior Preceptor Yue think would be worthy enough for us to have the honor of hearing your masterpiece?"
He smiled at Xi Yuanshan and said, "Imperial Brother, if I rember correctly, there doesn't seem to be another place like the Three Forks on the border of our two countries, right?"
Xi Yuanshan nodded. "A place where three countries intersect? Indeed, there is none."
Bei Ye also said to Bei Yue, "Imperial Brother, there doesn't seem to be one within our Northern Li territory either."
Bei Yue nodded and looked toward Yue Fuguang. "What are your thoughts, Junior Preceptor?"
Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "You all know . I don't have many hobbies usually, I just like to find so bizarre seeds and plant them in the ground."
Everyone nodded. Those were no bizarre seeds; those were divine crops!
Not only did they yield high harvests, but their taste was also surprisingly good!
Not to ntion the grain, even for the vegetables and fruits, one would have to pay a high price to eat them in their own countries.
Yue Fuguang looked at Emperor Mingxi. "Thanks to my Emperor's profound favor, I lack no variety of playthings here.
Therefore, I have recently acquired so new high-yield seeds, and I am just missing a piece of land to plant them on."
Before the other countries could speak, the mont Emperor Mingxi heard this, he hurriedly interjected, "Fuguang, if you want to plant things and the space is not enough, I can simply expand your princely fiefdom. Why must you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Bei Yue said, "So the Junior Preceptor is lacking a place to display her talents. That is easy to arrange."
He smiled, first cupping his hands in a salute to Emperor Mingxi, and then said to Yue Fuguang, "I wonder what wager the Junior Preceptor plans to offer?"
Gan Tang smiled and picked up the conversation. "We are not interested in land. How about... if the Junior Preceptor loses, you co as a guest to the winner's ho?"
Xi Ling nodded in agreent. "The Princess's proposal is excellent. Our Western Qiang welcos the Junior Preceptor at any ti."
Bei Ye also smiled and said, "Our Northern Li will also sweep our beds in anticipation, ready to welco Junior Preceptor Yue at any mont."
Lan Xuan'er had no choice but to stand up and say, "The gates of my Southern Zhao are always open to the Junior Preceptor."
Seeing that everyone had expressed their stance, Yan Ji was unwilling to fall behind. "My Eastern Yi also awaits the Junior Preceptor's visit."
Faced with everyone's enthusiastic invitations, Yue Fuguang gave a mysterious smile. "Since everyone is so hospitable, within my lifeti, this Junior Preceptor will definitely visit all of your hos to take a look around."
"You must not!" Emperor Mingxi grew a little anxious, and the civil and military officials of Great Yan were even more anxious than their Emperor.
What intentions these people were hiding—they were all thousand-year-old foxes, who couldn't see through it? Weren't they just trying to abduct their family's Junior Preceptor!
This was out of jealousy for Great Yan's developnt over the past two years, especially its granaries, which could be said to be the most abundant among the six nations.
These people must have found out to so extent that the changes up and down Great Yan today were all related to their Junior Preceptor, which was why they extended such invitations.
Yue Fuguang waved her hand and said to Emperor Mingxi, "Your Majesty, please calm down and do not be impatient."
Seeing that he still had words to say, she directly blocked him by saying, "Your Majesty, is it that you have no confidence in my poetic talent, which is unparalleled across the six nations?"
Her behavior at this mont perfectly resembled a spoiled, slightly rebellious, and overly confident brat.
Only then did everyone rember that this Junior Preceptor Yue was not even twelve years old yet. Wasn't it normal for her to be a bit of a brat?
Seeing Emperor Mingxi rendered speechless, his face and neck red, Yue Fuguang shot a glance at Xie Zhiyan, then turned back to Gan Tang, Bei Yue, and the others. "Are you all certain you want to wager your borderlands with ?"
The five nations, led by Southern Yue, Western Qiang, and Northern Li, exchanged glances. Gan Tang smiled and said, "We are willing to offer a small piece of land where our countries intersect for the Junior Preceptor to plant new crops.
We only have one request. If the Junior Preceptor unfortunately loses, please accept our invitation."
Yue Fuguang nodded. "I love going out to be a guest the most!"
Hearing her words, the corners of the mouths of Great Yan's ruler and ministers couldn't help but twitch.
Who was it that spent all year round just circling between the Prince's estate, the Yu residence, and the Imperial Palace? At first, they could still invite her to the various banquets at their hos, but later on, trying to get this person to attend was incredibly difficult.
She wouldn't co to flower-viewing banquets, nor would she attend wedding feasts. However, the Junior Preceptor's gifts were truly given, and they were all good things!
Yue Fuguang: Why would I go? Soone always falls into the water at flower-viewing banquets. Sigh! If she hadn't brought female guards with her every ti, she would probably have ended up matching several couples by now!
And as for wedding banquets, going ant losing at least one blessing talisman. She had quite a few points now and didn't lack that one talisman.
But well, once or twice was fine. Too many tis, and attending these feasts lost its novelty, making her too lazy to go out.
Especially the gossip from certain families that had nothing to do with advancing her own missions—she just secretly ate those lons with her system.
She really didn't want to share it; otherwise, this capital city of Shangjing would be turned upside down!
Yue Fuguang didn't care what they thought. She simply turned sideways to Cai Xian and asked, "Minister Cai, did you bring the map?"
Cai Xian had been silently preparing ever since he heard Yue Fuguang ntion the wager. Now, seeing her turn to ask him, Cai Xian, who had already quietly moved to Yue Fuguang's side, instantly had his eyes light up.
Without another word, he reached into his robes. "Please take a look, Junior Preceptor."
Yue Fuguang took it and unrolled it. It was still the sa map from three years ago. How did she know it was the sa one? Because the circle she had drawn at the Three Forks last ti was still there.
Yue Fuguang cast a aningful glance at Cai Xian. Three years had passed, yet the geographical layout of the several countries on the map before her hadn't changed a bit; it still looked like a rough sketch.
She hadn't forgotten that she had once presented the clearest map of the six nations in the royal court, and these people had morized it by heart without even blinking an eye.
Pointing at the borders of the countries, Yue Fuguang said to them, "I understand your difficulties. You cannot make the decision for too much land.
How about we use a tract of thirty miles of borderland as the wager?"
Upon hearing this, they revealed troubled expressions. Their initial thought was that a few thousand to ten thousand acres of land would already be a lot.
They hadn't expected this Junior Preceptor to have such a huge appetite, asking for an entire thirty-mile tract of land right off the bat.
Yue Fuguang's smile faded a bit. She swept her gaze over them and said, "This Junior Preceptor was being considerate of the fact that you are not in supre power, so I didn't ask for a ninety-mile tract.
What, are you not even as capable as , a prince of a different surna? You can't even make the call for a thirty-mile stretch of land?
You are all the people most likely to inherit the great thrones in the future. If you don't even have this little bit of courage and decisiveness, how will you govern an entire country in the future?"
As she spoke, she completely put away her smile. "Or do you all think that a re few acres of land are enough to exchange for this Junior Preceptor?"
