Chapter 768: Meeting the Goddess
After hearing what they said, Queen Mother Xi said unhappily, “Don’t be so ungrateful, you two. You little bird, it’s just that your name has been used. It won’t do you any harm. It will also bring honor to you and your father the Emperor.”

She looked at Xuannv again, pursing her lips, “You too, although you were given some miscellaneous tasks, the one who arranged you was the Heavenly Dao Incarnation, the Holy Emperor. Even if it was the Son of Heaven, he was still the First Emperor, a hero who had accomplished unparalleled feats, but what about me?”

At this point, Queen Mother Xi snorted in anger again, biting her teeth lightly, her eyes full of annoyance, “Ji Man is a shameless guy. He is old and still makes up stories about me. How can I look down on him?”

Xuannv raised the corners of her lips slightly, covered her lips and coughed twice, her tone was gentle and soft: “My dear sister, don’t be angry, this matter is easy to solve. The prestige of the current emperor is unparalleled in the world, and his reputation for benevolence and trustworthiness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. You can ask him to clarify your sister’s matter, isn’t it solved this way?”

“Sister Yao was framed not long ago, and didn’t she ask the emperor to clear it up? Hasn’t she been cleared of her name now?”

Jingwei spread her arms, shrugged, and said, “It hasn’t been clarified yet, has it? Isn’t it said that my sister has become the divine concubine of the First Emperor?”

The bird’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if it had thought of something. After a moment’s silence, it clapped its hands heavily, with a look of sudden enlightenment on its face: “I know! Sister Xuannv, you’ve been deceived! Sister must not be married!”

She said with great certainty: “This is all just another rumor spread by this big liar, the First Emperor!”

Xuan Nu wanted to explain, but she hesitated to speak. In the end, she didn’t say anything. She thought to herself: Silly sister, this is really true. This is what the emperor said to me personally, and the aura of Sister Yao on him cannot be fake.

Also, the marriage between his Emperor Xing and his sister Yao Lian cannot be fake.

Thinking of this, Xuannu felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.

At this time, Queen Mother Xi waved her hand and said, “Is it true or not? We will know once we ask. Sister Xuannv’s idea is not wrong. If it is true, we can give it a try.”

“If it’s fake, then the First Emperor can’t go to see him directly. Just take a look secretly. The First Emperor is also used to taking advantage of the situation to create momentum, so as to avoid being involved in a mess again.”

Jingwei nodded repeatedly in approval, and Xuannv also nodded slightly.

I thought to myself that what Sister Wanyan said was true. If I really met that person openly, who knows what would happen.

When Xuannu thought of the book she had just read, her heart trembled violently, but apart from shyness, she did not feel any rejection. She stopped thinking about it and took the two of them to Wushan.

The clouds rolled and time passed, and when they arrived at Wushan, more than four months had passed since they set out from Yaochi and traveled all the way around the world. At this time, autumn was getting stronger and it was approaching the end of autumn.

Now that the busy autumn farming season has just ended, they arrived in Wushan only to discover that large-scale construction was underway.

The scale was even more horrifying. The scene before us was truly shocking. The whole mountain and plain were filled with the sound of people, and there were as many as 20 to 30 thousand laborers working busily.

And no one was dissatisfied. Although everyone was doing hard labor, they were enthusiastic about the construction and were full of energy.

Under the command of a large number of officials, the work on the scene was carried out in an orderly manner, and many officials even personally participated in the work and set an example.

The two gods and one bird, Queen Mother of the West, Xuannv and Jingwei, looked astonished, their eyes full of disbelief. Such a grand scene truly shocked them.

Just at this moment, Yao Ji came forward.

Yao Ji felt more fulfilled and satisfied than ever before during this period. She was extremely happy every day when she saw so many people building statues and temples for her.

This was built for her by someone her husband had sent to build it!
With this scale and this grand occasion, who dares to say that her husband doesn’t love her?

This was all arranged by her husband, so that so many people believed in her and were willing to work for her. It was unlike before when not many people understood her.

Now she feels extremely fulfilled, and feels that it is really worth it for her to guard this place and resentment for more than two thousand years!

Unlike that bastard who spread rumors, he ruined the reputation of others and didn’t even repair the temple properly! Bastard!

Her greatest pleasure during this period was to secretly watch the progress of the project, which made her feel very satisfied.

The only thing that kept her awake was the longing for her lover. She stared at the moon every night, missing him so much.

Not only could she not sleep at night, even the incense had lost its flavor. She looked forward to Ying Zheng coming to see her every day.

This is the exquisite dice and red beans, which express deep lovesickness.

This girl, who is over four thousand years old, tasted the bitterness of love and the difficulty of lovesickness for the first time.

Well, that’s a fulfilling life.

In addition to thinking about Ying Zheng, she was more active in rescuing people and solving problems around her.

The people believed in her, and she wanted to repay that trust in every way she could.

She always keeps an eye on the construction workers. Although she hopes the project will be completed soon, she doesn’t want anyone to get hurt.

As a result, a miracle happened in Wushan: no one was killed or injured in such a large-scale project.

This was all thanks to Yao Ji’s secret care and her frequent divine intervention to save people.

Now it has become a virtuous circle, everyone works hard, the goddess protects everyone, shows her holiness to save people and solve problems. Then everyone believes more, works harder, and Yaoji takes better care of everyone.

Seeing that everyone was working so hard, Yao Ji even had to show her divine power and tell them not to be too anxious and that safety came first.

The result is that people are more motivated, and some even come to work at their own expense.

When the news spread, not only in Bashu, not to mention in the interior of the country, even in the east, there were people who came at their own expense to volunteer to help build a temple for the goddess.

Many powerful and wealthy people donated money and materials, saving Ying Zheng a lot of money.

Even the officials took part in the project personally, and the Wushan project was the most honest and harmonious. Not a single person was corrupt, and those who cheated and played tricks could be counted on one hand.

However, Yao Ji was still a little unhappy. That was when she heard that her own Taoist temple was not as grand as the one in Longmen, Luoyang, and she couldn’t help feeling a little jealous.

But she was kind by nature after all. Although she felt a little jealous as a woman, she quickly suppressed this emotion.

The legendary Hou Tu Niangniang’s deeds and actions were boundless, and she saved countless lives, which is truly admirable.

She really wanted to meet Lady Wen of Tzu Chi and see what kind of woman she was, a mere mortal who could do so many good things and make her husband so infatuated with her.

On this day, she had just taken a tour when she felt a familiar atmosphere. Looking around, she saw thousands of auspicious clouds and mists in the sky.

Sister Wanyan came with her younger sister, and also sister Yu. She was so surprised and happy that she hurriedly flew to the clouds to greet them.

“Sister Wanyan, Sister Yun, Little Sister, why are you here?”

Three gods and one bird hid their bodies and stood in the clouds thousands of feet high.

The Queen Mother of the West raised a teasing smile at the corner of her lips, her eyes moved, and she took the lead in teasing: “Why? Don’t you welcome us? It seems that you have forgotten your sisters now that you have a husband.”

Xuan Nu’s eyebrows curved as she nodded in agreement, “Sister Wanyan is right. It seems that Sister Yao has really forgotten about us. Well, since you are not welcome, let’s not make ourselves unhappy. Let’s go now.”

Only Jingwei threw herself into Yao Ji’s arms, rubbing her little head against her chest. She really missed her sister.

Yao Ji knew that her two sisters must know something.

Come to think of it, my husband spread their affair all over the world, and everyone knew about it. It’s normal for my two sisters to know something about it.

Being teased by the two of them, Yao Ji’s celestial face blushed slightly, and she scolded: “We haven’t seen each other for hundreds of years, and you two sisters tease me as soon as you meet. I miss you two sisters all the time.”

Queen Mother of the West blinked her bright eyes and teased her deliberately: “Really? I don’t believe it.”

“My dear sister, you didn’t send me any messages after you got married. How can you really care about me?”

Yao Ji glanced at Queen Mother Xi charmingly and said in a soft voice, “Sister, what are you talking about? It’s not that I don’t want to send the letter, it’s just that the incident happened suddenly and I didn’t have time to send the letter.”

“Besides, I was worried that my elder sisters were both asleep and didn’t want to disturb them. Plus, I was busy with other things, so I didn’t have time to tell my two elder sisters.”

“I miss my two sisters all the time, and they tease me. Sister Wanyan is the worst.”

The most shocked person at this moment was Jingwei. She looked up and asked, “Sister, are you really getting married?”

Yao Ji smiled shyly, nodded gently, and said softly: “It happened last year. By chance, my husband and I were matched with each other for a marriage made in heaven.”

Xuannv looked around and asked, “Sister Yao, why is it so noisy here?”

When Yao Ji heard this, she was even more shy and happy, with a blush on her face. She hugged Jingwei and said in a shy and sweet voice:
“My husband sent people to build a temple for me and a palace in Wushan so that he can accompany me often.”

When Queen Mother Xi heard this, her eyes narrowed in shock. She asked in surprise, “It looks like there are about 20,000 to 30,000 people building a statue for you? What scale is that?”

Although Xuannv did not say anything, her eyes were full of shock, which coincided with what the Queen Mother of the West thought.

Jingwei opened her eyes wide, her mouth slightly open, her face full of astonishment. She looked up at the densely packed crowd below from the cloud, then raised her head to look at Yao Ji, her eyes full of disbelief.

Yao Ji looked at their shocked reactions, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she sighed softly: “I don’t want to either.”

“But my husband insisted on doing this. My husband’s words are as good as gold, and I can’t refuse.”

“The project was decided last year. Starting this year, 30,000 corvées will be conscripted every year during the slack season. It is estimated that it will take seven or eight years to be completed.”

“Alas, this is too time-consuming and costly. I have tried to dissuade my husband, but he insisted. He is not only my husband, but also the emperor. I cannot refuse his decision.”
