Chapter 1475: Chapter 68: You Even Gave Him the Princess’ Order? (Requesting Monthly Votes)_4
She noticed that her daughter had quite the discerning eye; Wang Fugui’s slightly plump face appeared very amiable.
“Thank you, Imperial Consort,” Wang Fugui said gracefully as he gave his thanks, “So this is actually dragon liver? I had no idea it could be eaten… and that it could be so delicious. But if we eat dragons like this, won’t the Dragon Clan have objections?”
“Fugui, that’s where you’re wrong,” said Wu Zhiyu, seated at a lower position. “This world operates on the law of the jungle. If we, the Human Race, are weak, then we beco food for all kinds of Fierce Beasts. Conversely, if our Human Race is strong, then these Fierce Beasts are nothing more than als on our plates.”
“As for the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, of course they have objections. However, the Immortal Emperor, in order to balance the opinions of the two clans’ Sacred Lands in our Immortal Dynasty, has introduced a series of breeding regulations for dragons and phoenixes. First, all dragons and phoenixes used for comrce must be from breed stocks. Second, they must belong to the subspecies of both clans. Third, only breeds without Spiritual Intelligence may be cultivated.”
Wang Fugui bowed to Wu Zhiyu and said, “Thank you, Young Master Wu, for the insights. I will also buy a breed stock when I return ho and let my family have a taste.”
“Isn’t this a coincidence?” Wu Zhiyu said. “The Ying Clan has a dragon breeding farm for culinary use. This Yinn Ruyu is the Young Master of the Ying Clan; you can just go to him if you want to buy dragon at.”
“I am Yinn Ruyu,” said a young gentleman next to Wu Zhiyu, bowing gracefully.
“Greetings, Brother Yinn,” Wang Fugui politely returned the greeting.
At this banquet, apart from Wu Zhiyu and Yinn Ruyu, there was also a young man nad Wang Baotian and Luo Xuanji.
That Wang Baotian was the Direct Line of this generation of the Han Yue Wang family. Although not the eldest of the Direct Line, his exceptional talent granted him a very high status within his family.
Wang Fugui had seen Wang Baotian at the Divine Skills feast of the Han Yue Wang family a few days ago.
However, since it was another family’s Divine Skills feast, both Wang Anye and his grandson Wang Fugui kept a very low profile, simply playing the part of well-mannered onlookers.
It was Wang Baotian who was particularly conspicuous, hailed as the rising star of the Han Yue Wang family by the guests.
Luo Xuanji was no simple character either; being able to mix with the core children of the Overquality Wu’s Family, First Grade Ying Clan, and First Grade Wang family despite being from a Second Class Prominent Family showed that he was an exceptional individual who also held the speaking rights for the Luo Clan.
Do not be fooled by their youthful looks; if they do not fall prematurely or encounter misfortune, they are destined to beco heroes in the Immortal Dynasty.
Therefore, when they visited the King of the North’s Mansion, Crown Prince Xuan and his wife treated them with the utmost courtesy and politeness. In the future, when Yun ngyu sets up the Princess Mansion, these people would all be her political allies.
Even if she could not compete for the Immortal Emperor’s throne, the frawork of the Princess Mansion still needed to be established.
“Esteed gentleman, you are the child of Changning Wang Clan, a branch of the Dongqian Wang Clan?” Wang Baotian spoke with a mix of friendliness and rivalry, “I’ve heard my One Hundred and Thirteenth Uncle talk about you; it seems you’re doing quite well, with many products sold in the Immortal Dynasty. I heard you attended the Divine Skills feast a few days ago, but I didn’t notice you then.”
“Ahem!” Wang Fugui stood up straight, his face serious as he said, “Baotian, I am ranked one hundred and thirteenth in my family.”
Instantly, Wang Baotian’s face reddened sowhat, wishing to gloss over the situation, but not wanting to… He gave up the thought, as he dared not break the Prominent Family customs, and could only bow and say, “Baotian greets One Hundred and Thirteenth Uncle.”
“Baotian, consider this our first official eting,” Wang Fugui said as he wiped his storage ring and offered a gift for an elder, “It’s nothing much, just sothing to wish you a future brilliant as brocade and to beco a mainstay of the Human race as soon as possible.”
“Thank you, One Hundred and Thirteenth Uncle,” Wang Baotian accepted the gift without looking, hurriedly stashing it into his storage ring.
“Fugui, don’t bother with these ignorant and idle young masters,” Yun ngyu stood up personally to serve Wang Fugui a plate of dragon liver. “Dragon liver is good for brightening the eyes and nourishing the blood; if you like it, eat more.”
“Thank you, ngyu,” Wang Fugui willingly accepted.
“By the way, I heard that you were preparing for the Changning Imperial Exam when I left your house?” Yun ngyu asked with concern, “How did the exam go this ti? I’ve heard that the bookish competition in Changning Wei is severe and the questions are getting harder every year.”
“That’s…” Wang Fugui hesitated but decided to be honest, “It went well; by luck, I managed to get first place.”
“You really live up to the na Fugui,” Yun ngyu exclaid with joy, “I knew it, with your intelligence and wisdom, you would definitely take first place.”
The other young gentlen also put on an act and congratulated him one by one.
Yet, in their hearts, they were dismissive. What was there to brag about coming first in a cultural exam from such a small place?
“Oh, Fugui has a decent level of education, I see.” Watching Yun ngyu and Wang Fugui grow warr, a displeased King of the North thought and said, “Let’s take this auspicious mont, I’ll ask you a few questions to test your knowledge. If you do well, you will be handsoly rewarded by .”
He decided to trouble the boy harshly, to expose him and to let his precious ngyu co to her senses.
