Chapter 188: Getting Acquainted with the Emperor

What should have been a grand celebration banquet ended in an ordinary way.

After the banquet, the emperor summoned Yun Jin and his son to the imperial study.

Also present were Concubine Yun and the two little princes.

When a father and daughter, or brothers and sisters meet, it is inevitable that they exchange pleasantries.

After being separated for many years, they were reunited again, and the three of them had tears in their eyes.

“When I went to war, the eldest prince was still in his infancy. Now that I have returned, the little prince has been born. Time flies.”

Yun Jin held his chubby and cute grandson in his arms and said with a smile.

Concubine Yun wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her gentle voice choked with sobs.

“Being able to return safely is the greatest blessing. Mother and the others have always been worried about you.”

Seeing with my own eyes that my father and elder brother were safe and sound, with no broken limbs or fatal injuries, I was finally able to put my mind at ease, having been worried for years.

Even women and children who were not familiar with government affairs had heard about how dangerous the war with the Tatars was.

They all thought that Yun Jin might not come back, but who knew that with unexpected turns of events and God’s blessing, a miracle like a god’s appearance would appear on the battlefield covered with yellow sand.

The difficult battle was won and the difficulties of water and food shortage were resolved.

Everything seems like a dream legend, and people are still unable to recover from it. They are afraid that once they wake up from the dream, they will have to face the threat of powerful enemies outside the Great Wall, and they worry that natural disasters and wars will lead to the destruction of the country and the family.

The emperor hugged his beloved concubine and coaxed her for a while. Yun Zhan also reported good news but not bad news, omitting the hardships at the border and downplaying the process of victory, making it sound as simple as eating and drinking.

Yun Jin didn’t like the sad atmosphere, so he tried to change the subject after a few words of persuasion.

“That child is still waiting over there. Can I introduce him to you?”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and Concubine Yun’s attention was instantly diverted.

“Then… you are invited?”

Yun Zhen, who was outside the bookcase, put down his paper and pen, cleared his throat, and greeted him in a friendly manner.

“Hello, it’s our first meeting. Could you please give me some advice?”

The emperor and Concubine Yun were startled by the sudden sound.

Then he looked around everywhere.

Although it was our first meeting, I couldn’t actually see him in person.

Only an ethereal and vague voice came down, which surprised people but not to the point of panic or fear.

The eldest prince stared with his dark eyes, tugged at the emperor’s sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

“Father, who was speaking just now?”

The little prince in the cradle was not asleep yet, and he smiled toothlessly when he heard the sound.

Both little guys are very cute, and Yunzhen’s heart melted after seeing them.

Before the emperor could reply, her love for gift-giving came into play. She picked up the prepared gift, shrunk it, and put it in the bookcase.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m just a beam of energy. I have no form and you can’t see me.”

“This is my gift to everyone. It’s not a precious thing. Just consider it as making friends.”

Two colorful glass jars appeared in the air and slowly landed on the round table in the house.

Yun Jin took the initiative to walk forward, opened the jar and took a look.

“This is……?”

He originally wanted to act as a guide and introduce the new and interesting things from heaven to the emperor and his daughter.

He had never seen what was in the jar before. He could vaguely smell the aroma of food but didn’t know what to call it.

Yun Zhen explained, “One can is baby formula for the little prince, and the other is chive soda crackers for the eldest prince to satisfy his cravings.” “You can ask the imperial physician to check it first. If there is no problem, then give it to the child.”

She had asked the system before, and it was clear that such food could be given, but only in small quantities.

Food is different from supplies. It can be consumed quickly and cannot be preserved for future generations, nor will it leave any traces in history.

However, large-scale input is not acceptable. Once a trend is formed, it will be recorded in history and cause turmoil in time and space.

“These two glass jars are so beautiful!”

The emperor exclaimed in surprise, picked up one of them and examined it carefully.

The Great Zhou also had colored glaze, but the output was very low.

Due to the difficult refining process, its current value is even higher than jade.

The gods in heaven are so rich that they can easily give away two large glass jars.

And this is just a container for food, not a specially made decorative ornament.

Yun Zhen saw that the emperor and the imperial concubine were very curious, and there was no suspicion or displeasure on their faces.

He felt relieved and took out two more gifts.

“This is the tea set for His Majesty, and the other side is the skin cream and perfume for the Imperial Concubine.”

Two sets of ancient glass tea sets fell on the table.

One set is a teapot and teacup with a white background and green tint, which are fresh and elegant in color; the other set is made of colorful glass, with a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains painted on the surface of the cup. The color combination is rich and solemn, and it looks grand and elegant.

What was given to Concubine Yun were three boxes of skin cream and a bottle of perfume, the containers were also beautiful glass bottles.

Yunzhen specially found a glass shop to customize it, ensuring that the style of the object was in line with the times, while also highlighting the modern superb craftsmanship and rich color matching.

The emperor and Concubine Yun were very surprised. They didn’t expect that the gods had prepared a gift for them.

The two men were of noble status, so it was very common for them to receive gifts from others.

But these new and strange objects bestowed by the gods were the first of their kind in the world.

At least in their twenty years of experience and knowledge, they had never heard of anyone having such an adventure.

The two of them thanked him immediately. The emperor thought for a moment and said:

“It is impolite not to reciprocate. I wonder what kind of return gift the little fairy would like?”

“As long as I can do it, I will definitely find it for the little fairy.”

Yun Jin had already told him about Yun Zhen’s life story.

A wronged soul from hundreds of years later was blessed by heaven by chance.

Because of his status as the grandson of later generations, the aura of a deity, and his youthful and gentle voice, the emperor defined him as “little deity”.

Because of Yun Zhen’s devoted assistance in Yuzhou and her good deed of donating rain on the way to Beijing, the emperor was not afraid of her at this time. Instead, he was very grateful to this miraculous existence who suddenly appeared.

The severe drought in the north has not yet been resolved, and there will definitely be more trouble for the gods in the future.

Just as Yunzhen took the initiative to give gifts to show goodwill, the emperor also wanted to establish a good relationship with her.

Before Yun Zhen outside the bookcase could speak, Yun Jin beside her answered for her:

“This child wants famous paintings and calligraphy and porcelain. I have already asked my family to help buy them.”

“If His Majesty and His Majesty have any old clothes that they don’t wear anymore, you can give them to her. People in later generations are so strange. They just like to collect old things used by us old guys.”

The emperor was shocked by this.

Paintings and calligraphy and porcelain are fine, but how can old clothes be given as gifts?

If it was just an outer robe, that would be fine, but it was just underwear and the like…

This is so embarrassing!
