Stan Star

When the emperor returned from the patrol, a group of princes and ministers greeted him outside the imperial city. qzYFZi

As a planet favored by gods, Stan Star revered nature. Unless it was necessary to travel a long distance, everything with a sense of technology wasn’t popular. The architecture of the palace adopted the classical style of the last century. Even the buildings of large and small towns were still the same as the villages of thousands of years ago.

Forests and vegetation, nature and peaceful coexistence of societies.

The people of Stan Star felt that excessive recommendations of developed technology would cause harm to nature and relying on the divine power of nature was unacceptable for them.

The welcoming ceremony was grand, and almost all ministers and concubines were present. 51fMdX

The emperor wasn’t a person obsessed with beauty. There were only a handful of concubines in his harem, no more than 5 in total. Except for the empress, there were only two imperial consort and two concubines. The birth mother of the second prince was a commoner without divine power and wasn’t of great aristocratic origin. She would be regarded as someone not favored by the gods on a planet with a hierarchical system like Stan. She would still be a concubine even if she gave birth to a prince.

Today was like a grand, Crown Prince’s turf.

The crown prince clad in a light yellow robe, stood in front of the crown in high spirits, “Welcome back, Your Majesty.”

As early as the emperor was on his way back, he heard that the crown prince had cleaned the bribery in the palace. With the empress on his side to embellish the story, he couldn’t help nodding in satisfaction. It was rare for him to praise the crown prince, “You’ve done a good job during this period of time.”

The crown prince beamed with joy, “This is what the son should do.”

Afterward, the ministers came forward to greet the emperor. The faction of the crown prince continued to beautify and brag about the crown prince while the neutral faction chose to be silent. The crowd of people returned to the palace in a mighty manner. They all dispersed after visiting the palace but not all of them would take a rest. Most of them had to prepare to join the evening welcome party for the emperor’s return to the palace.

“Your Highness, the Third Prince.”

On his way back to the palace, a delicate female voice came from the side. owMnP9

Lu Xingwang looked back silently, his gaze fell on the luxuriously dressed gorgeous woman.

Imperial Concubine Xi smiled, “I heard that Your Highness was sick before. I originally wanted to visit you long ago but I heard from the healing priest that you needed to recuperate so I didn’t go to trouble you. Is your health much better now?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Imperial Concubine Xi. I’m already much better now.”

Imperial Concubine Xi was second only to the empress. She was the most favored concubine. There was Imperial Concubine Lan to compete with her, but now she was gone and her momentum now was even stronger. She was a woman born with a natural harmless appearance, but no one dared to underestimate her. Although she was born into a noble family and had no children for many years, but she could still sit firmly in the position of an imperial concubine; her strength could be seen. qH6T9h

Lu Xingwang raised his eyes to look at her but he didn’t reply.

Imperial Concubine Xi seemed unaffected by his coldness and calmly said, “A few days ago, General Zuo was escorting the supplies and passing through the wormhole of B-099 galaxy when he was attacked by interstellar bandits. A lot of soldiers suffered a defeat, the supplies were looted empty and miserably perished. General Zuo himself escaped from the battlefield and his whereabouts are still unknown.”

Lu Xingwang’s footsteps stopped. rKoq7z

Imperial Concubine Xi turned around and frankly faced him, “What does Your Highness think?”

Lu Xingwang was silent for a moment before finally speaking, “The Zuo family has been loyal and brave warriors for generations, they wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“But the video and information sent back from the warship showed that he had defected, even the only soldier rescued from the battlefield said the same.” Imperial Concubine Xi’s lips curled up. “His Majesty has already handed over this matter to the Ministry of Investigation. The priest responsible for the investigation used the power of divination and the answer was still the same as before; he escaped and defected. Now the crown prince and civil officials joined forces to petition for order; the army can’t have no general and they are asking His Majesty to reappoint a new general.”

This phrase might seem simply describing things, but there were many things implied. LTv 78

Austen, the father of the empress was the head of the civil officials. Most of the civil officials were from the crown prince’s faction while in the military officials, General Zuo had always been neutral and had never participated in muddy waters. If the crown prince took advantage of this opportunity, he would be able to take down Zuo Ren and arrange for his subordinate to take the post of general. Undoubtedly, this was the best time.

“General Zuo’s eldest son has been kneeling outside the main palace for a day, but he hasn’t been invited for an audience.” Imperial Concubine Xi lowered her voice, “The Zuo family seems to be in a serious predicament this time, but His Majesty is actually not ready to remove the military power of the Zuo family.”

Lu Xingwang raised his gaze at her, “Why is Imperial Concubine telling me this?”

Imperial Concubine Xi pulled her hair back then took a step back to resume normal distance, “This concubine didn’t specifically inform, just came to have a casual talk with Your Highness.” Vg1ONo

Neither of them was stupid. Clever people could get the point without explicitly telling it.

Imperial Concubine Xi might be favored, but only she knew the suffering. The queen was currently in power. If the crown prince was allowed to take the limelight, and the empress used tricks to blind the masses, as the first thorn in the empress’ eye, she would undoubtedly be the very first to be removed. She had no children; seeking connections with Lu Xingwang was her best option.

She would never believe that Lu Xingwang was willing to live deep in the palace for a long time. Some people’s ambitions couldn’t be hidden. If Lu Xingwang could seize the opportunity to take over the Zuo family, they would have the capital to compete with the empress while she would do her best to fully assist Lu Xingwang in dealing with the queen. Even if Lu Xingwang couldn’t, she had nothing to lose, right?

“This year’s butterfly peas are blooming so well.” Imperial Concubine Xi walked slowly to the flower garden and sighed softly. “In fact, I am the best at making fragrant honey wine. Such a pity that while the green fruit suitable for brewing wine has bloomed, this flower is still in a budding period. It’s such a pity to miss the flowering period now.” T1X4zU

Lu Xingwang was silent for a long time before he finally opened his lips, “The butterfly pea in my palace bloomed late. The palace maid collected a lot a few days ago. If the imperial concubine is free, I’ll ask someone to send it over for your enjoyment.”

Aiya, that would be embarrassing.”

A smile slowly blossomed at the corner of Imperial Concubine Xi’s mouth. She turned around and the ambition in her eyes was no longer concealed. “Then I’ll respectfully follow orders.”

The other side GYfNiV

At school, breaktime

Jian Mei had been going to school for more than a month. Although he didn’t make many close friends, several boys would usually pull him to play together; although it might be out of some guilt for leaving him during the mountain climbing. They would usually go to the canteen to buy snacks or read books during break time. However, the topic for today was different.

“Have you guys updated to the new season ?”

“I fell to gold this season.” auW2DB

“I’m platinum. Hahaha, you’re good.”

They were noisy and keep on talking. Jian Mei couldn’t understand it very well, so he asked, “What game?”

Several boys looked at him with a ‘you’re a bumpkin’ expression and said, “You don’t actually play The King.”

Jian Mei took the egg tart to eat. He shook his head gently when he heard his words, “I don’t play.” 48Ek5h

“It’s very fun!” The tall boy invited him. “Why don’t you play with us tonight after you go home. The three of us will team up and pull you up.”

Jian Mei said, “But I don’t…”

“This isn’t a problem at all.” The tall boy smiled and said, “The three of us often fight together, but The King doesn’t allow 4 members. If you have a friend or something, pull them over to join us and make a team of 5 and we’ll take you to fly!”

They were full of enthusiasm and Jian Mei couldn’t refuse. He could only nod his head, “Okay.” DmYEb8

But he had no other friends.

When he returned home in the evening, he did his homework first. It was already past eight when he finished writing. His classmates couldn’t wait any longer and kept on urging him to hurry up. Jian Mei had to spend a huge amount of money like 20 gold coins to download The King.

The tall boy pulled him into the team and there were only four of them, “You can call someone else, Meimei.”

Jian Mei wanted to say that he couldn’t call someone else, but after hesitating, he thought of someone. He switched back to WeChat and clicked on the chatbox that hadn’t changed all day. He hesitated to send him a message, “Are you there?” TVS6dK

Today was different from the past. Lu Xingwang seemed to be busy and it took a while he replied to him: [What’s the matter?]

Jian Mei was afraid to disturb him: “Are you busy?”

Lu Xingwang who had been watching General Zuo’s battle video report playback for a day, relaxed his somewhat stiff shoulders and prepared to take a break: [Not for the time being]

“Okay…” WbzGTv

Jian Mei summoned up his courage and asked, “Can you play games with me for a while?”

Lu Xingwang’s brows raised in surprise.

But he didn’t refuse right away, he just replied: [What game?]

“It’s a, a…battle game.” Jian Mei remembered there was also a team battle for the defense tower and added, “There are mechas and hero character needs to be operated to control the mecha skills against the opponent to determine the winner which I’m actually not very good at.” IQ5tLy

Jian Mei was very unfamiliar with this but for Lu Xingwang, this was like a child’s game, playing with mud. He had played mechas to death since he was a child and even had A+ grades in combat during college. He wasn’t interested: [Not coming.]

Jian Mei was a little disappointed but he was still very considerate: “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter.”

Lu Xingwang glanced at the message and was about to continue reading the report. However, before he could pick up the report, he heard a ‘ding dong’ and another message was sent. It was as simple as Jian Mei.

“I’ll go and ask someone else.” 63xLjE

“Sorry, I didn’t think you can’t do it.”

“Then you go ahead and get busy.”

What do you mean he can’t?

Lu Xingwang’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He looked at the message sent by Jian Mei seriously and he almost laugh from exasperation. He put down the report and typed on the chatbox with a gloomy expression: [Send the download link] VdH St

The author has something to say:

Today is also a really fragrant day!

  1. Hahaha Lu Xingwang’s pride being poked unconsciously by naive Meimei’s soft fingers. How adorable~~

    “With the empress on his side to beautify the story…” –> I think you can try something like ‘spice up the story’ (seems the most similar to the original idiom) or ‘sweeten the story’ (for a positive connotation).

    “…updated to the new version ?” –> I agree here, season is somehow more appropriate. Maybe it’s just me, but a new game’s version is not usually required for a battle-type longstanding game to have a new ‘season’. That’s how they recycle the rankings and keep people hooked after all.

  2. Lu Xingwang: I am busy, not interested!

    Also Lu Xingwang: Just with me don’t find someone else! (Angry face)

    Thank you for the chapter

  3. Beautify works well, but the word you’re looking for is probably “embellish”?

    Thanks for the chapter! 😊

  4. LXW is always so easily triggered lolol First with math and now the game haha. Would be funny if he would rock it >D

    Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)

  5. Huehuehue, A Mei is getting better at dealing with this little lynx, sooner enough the little lynx would start to be confused by his emotions towards A Mei xD

    Thanks for the chapter! 💞
