Chapter 75 Don’t spread rumors

"Woooooooo..."

"Stop crying, stop crying, bring the royal meal." The emperor saw that her eyes were slightly swollen from crying, and he was afraid that his ancestor would fall asleep late at night.

He asked the imperial kitchen to bring a lot of food over.

"Father said that you must like the sweet eight-treasure duck. He specially invited you to come to the palace to try it." Seeing the Lu brothers' restraint, the prince invited them to have dinner next door.

Lu Yuanxiao guessed.

Maybe the second brother is annoying.

The prince personally picked up the dishes for Chao Chao.

Chao Chao's little face turned red from crying.

The prince serves as her attendant and shares his life with her, so he can naturally feel Lu Chaochao's emotions.

Hey, for adults, it’s nothing worth mentioning.

For children, it's a big deal.

She really missed that mouthful of dog food.

The prince picked up the silver chopsticks and, under the shocked gaze of the prince, personally fed it to Chao Chao's mouth.

"Ah? It's easy to choke when you eat while crying. Try the royal food quickly..." The prince coaxed eagerly and spoke softly, but he was not as serious as the rumors.

The emperor didn't even frown at this.

The Queen Mother recovered, and the doctors all called her a miracle.

The Queen Mother even secretly told him that she could eat three bowls of rice in one meal and felt that she had endless strength.

The emperor firmly concealed the news.

Oh, he is so envious.

Lu Chaochao was burping and sobbing while eating.

"Good time..." Lu Chaochao pointed at the duck.

The emperor didn't even raise his eyebrows: "I will leave the palace later and bring a copy back to Chaochao."

After thinking for a while: "Give the chef of Babao Duck a reward."

The prince smiled and agreed.

He knew the cook who made Babao Duck. He was from his hometown. He was good at making sweet dishes. He was dull but had good cooking skills.

He was very marginalized in the imperial dining room.

Every time he cooks food, he has to put it in the place farthest from His Majesty.

Now, I'm afraid I'm going to reach the sky in one step.

His cooking skills have made him a close friend.

"Go to the Chengtian Palace to see if the sacred flowers are blooming?" The emperor's expression was gloomy, with a trace of anxiety hidden in his brows.

Knowing the importance of this matter, the prince said, "I will go and see it myself."

Lu Chaochao tilted his head and asked curiously: "What's Fafa?"

The prince touched her little crotch and said, "It's Huahua. Divine flower."

"The gods worshiped by Beizhao."

"There are countless gods in the three realms. Only by praying for the blessings of the gods in Beizhao can we resist evil spirits, have good weather, and ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

"Every year the sacred flower blooms, the national fortune will be prosperous the next year, and natural disasters will not occur."

"Last year, before the sacred flowers bloomed, there was an earthquake and flood in Beizhao, and the people were displaced." The prince looked lonely.

Lu Chaochao seemed to understand.

"The blooming of sacred flowers means that the gods will protect them." The prince saw that she didn't understand.

"Above Beizhao, there is a country dedicated to worshiping gods. It is called the South Country. They come to Beizhao every three years to pray for Beizhao."

Beizhao will support them every time.

Lu Chaochao said oh, he didn't understand.

The prince stopped explaining.

"You are not yet one year old. You have eaten too much greasy food and your stomach hurts." The prince asked someone to take away the eight-treasure duck. Lu Chaochao was so angry that his mouth curled up.

She snorted.

He crawled away on his hands and knees and climbed to the emperor's desk.

While the emperor was reviewing the memorial, he saw Lu Chaochao stealthily take out a bottle of koudan from his arms.

The color is bright red and very eye-catching.

"Children should not apply kodan. If you often bite your hands, kodan is poisonous." The emperor reached out and took it.

Lu Chaochao glared anxiously: "Return, return Wo!"

The emperor shook his head. Kodan is made of flower mud and alum. It is natural for children to eat it from their hands and it is easy to be poisoned.

"think……"

"Want to play..." Lu Chaochao hugged his thigh.

"uncle……"

"Uncle Huang..." The little guy muttered, his milk gushing.

"Now, let's grow our hair, Tutu..." Her eyes were slightly bright.

The emperor was startled.

[I’ll give you the magic flower, so paint my nail polish! 】

The prince stood up suddenly.

"Father, what Chao Chao means is that she has a way to bloom the magical flower."

The emperor's eyes narrowed: "Is this true?"

The little guy raised his chin and said, "Hug Wo, come over there, Kangkang."

The emperor personally bent down to pick her up, and took the prince with him to the sacrificial hall.

There are many palace people guarding the main hall, including the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Taichang Temple who are tiredly guarding here.

I saw His Majesty coming here in great force.

"His Majesty."

"The divine flower has not yet bloomed."

"I tried every method, including sacrificial dances and sacrifices, but there was no response." I killed pigs and slaughtered sheep, but there was no response.

The sacred flower did not bloom, which meant that Beizhao's prayers to the gods did not respond.

"Do you really want a boy and a girl?" Taichang Temple Qing asked with difficulty.

The emperor frowned: "Impossible!"

"Beizhao enshrines a righteous god, not an evil god. Boys and girls must not be used." The prince vetoed.

"But the gods don't want to respond, what should we do?" Old Shangshu frowned.

If I had known it earlier, I would have just resigned from old age and returned to my hometown like Taifu Xu.

Save yourself the trouble.

Lu Chaochao, on the other hand, looked at the temple where Beizhao was enshrined.

There is an offering table in front of the temple, and there are chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep on the offering table.

A green flower branch stands in a glass vase without roots or leaves.

The flower branches are tightly wrapped with flower bones, and the color cannot be seen.

It clearly has no roots or water, but it still stands upright in it, which is quite magical.

The emperor waved his hand: "I will take the emperor to pray in person. Please go out, dear." The emperor waved his hand, and everyone left one after another.

After everyone left, there were only three of them left in the palace.

The prince said: "Beizhao worships Zongbai, the god of justice."

"In charge of the laws of the three realms, the most important thing is to abide by self-discipline and be strict and fair. A ray of his brilliance can make Beizhao's country prosperous and everything goes smoothly."

The prince couldn't help but sigh.

“But he’s also the hardest to enshrine.”

"There are so many people who worship him, but Beizhao rarely receives any response or blessing."

【Zong Bai? 】

What a familiar name.

[Why is there no statue of him? 】

"All the statues of the gods are in the Southern Kingdom. The Southern Kingdom is the kingdom closest to the gods and is the servant of the gods. Mortals are not worthy." The prince rubbed her head.

Lu Chaochao kept thinking about Zong Bai's name.

Blinking his eyes.

Follow the law? Fair and strict? Law enforcer of the Three Realms?

It sounded serious.

"The tribute is wrong..." Lu Chaochao said crisply.

"Impossible! It is said that Zong Tiantian God attaches great importance to rules, and his preferences are popular among the people. A tribute to one who abides by the rules." The prince immediately shook his head.

The emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was really ill and sought medical treatment.

Lu Chaochao slowly took out a handful of toffee from his arms.

After thinking about it...

Take out another one.

The little face hesitated for a moment, then took out another one.

Holding a toffee in the palm of her hand.

He took out another leftover candied haws with a small bite on it and a tooth mark on it.

"He loves to eat..." She stepped on her feet and wanted to send the tribute up.

But even the person and his hands are not as high as the table.

"No! Every year, the tributes are carefully selected from thousands of treasures sent from all over the world. This...if it offends the gods, I'm afraid it will lead to guilt." The prince was frightened.

A stingy piece of candy.

A bite of half a candied haws.

What kind of tribute is this?

There was a trace of doubt in the emperor's eyes.

[Whoever believes in me, he who believes in me loves to eat. ] Lu Chaochao's eyes were firm.

Zong Bai?

The Zong Bai she knew loved eating the most!

The prince pursed his lips, glanced at his father, gritted his teeth, and presented these two things to the offering table.

"The God of Justice, if there is any guilt, let it fall on the believers." The prince bowed respectfully.

Not finished kowtow yet.

Then you can see the flower buds floating in the glass vase, blooming slowly...

emperor……
