CHAPTER 289: Grand visit (3)

Seeing the father and daughter echoing each other, yu yue felt her nose soured. She missed her parents so much already, she missed acting coy and mischievous around them too. Seeing the two of them acting like that she just sighs and watch, not intending to ruin their moment.

The others also have smiles on their lips even though they scoffed just a moment ago.

"alright, you two that's enough. We will have a talk later xin'er" the empress sigh as she rolled her eyes at them, but it couldn't hide her pampering.

"sovereign, we have an important matter to discuss with you" the huxian empire's new emperor said as they exchanged knowing glances with jade empire's emperor and phoenix empire's empress.

The sky empire's emperor was not paying attention to them, he was also having a moment with his daughter. Shui zian xi was helpless listening to her father's aggrieved words.

"my dearest princess, they made me work so much these days. My body is dead tired already bohoho-" he wept bitterly without the dignity of an emperor.

The others eyed him sharply but he couldn't care less.  Huang xin immediately stop in her acting when she heard the sky emperor's aggrieved cries. She subconsciously reflected mentally. 'surely, I wasn't that embarrassing with my acting right?'

She pursed her lips awkwardly as she stared at the father and daughter pair playing the reverse role she just performed. For some reason it makes her feel embarrassed for the first time. Her face reddened even more when she saw qiuling kingdom's crown prince perplexed looks. 

After that awkward father and daughter reunion everyone finally settled down as they followed yu yue to the yu manor.

The crown prince was entertained by crown prince huang jian and the others as yu yue have a discussion with the other empires. Apparently, it was about her duties as a sovereign that she neglected. They couldn't decide on some matters without her consent so they discussed about reformation of hierarchy. 

"sovereign yu, we have one more concerns" the empress spoke solemnly.

"what is it?" yu yue's curiosity was perk up.

"we have been busy working with the unification of the outer region, it is a matter of time before the entire lower realm caught news of this. We cannot remain in a low profile anymore, so I suggest we should have a strong influence in other places as well" she said meaningfully, the others immediately understood as they nodded in strong agreement.

"well, what do you suggest?" yu yue asked expectantly, she knows that the empress was quite intelligent. Since she already brings this up, she might already have a solution.

"I suggest to strengthen our economic influence beyond the outer region. That would be the easiest and the most effective way to gain support from affluent powerhouses. I also believed that what happened in the central region won't be the first and the last" she said her analytical thoughts.

"I did think of it but I was hesitant at first because it might put us in danger, but as you mentioned we cannot maintain the low profile so we better take this opportunity" if others know that they were sourcing higher quality pills and armaments it would be chaotic so why not make it available to the public?
