In the imperial garden of Lady Zhen's palace, a man and a woman were admiring the flowers quietly.
The man was dressed in a nine-dragon emperor robe, and his aura was thick. He was the current emperor, Xia Chen.
The beautiful woman beside him was Lady Zhen, one of the nine imperial consorts.
Lady Zhen was born as Zhen Mi, also known as Lady Zhen. She was also known as the Goddess of Luo. She was as beautiful as a hibiscus and as beautiful as Fairy Bibo.
To be able to be called the Goddess Luo, she naturally had a peerless beauty that could topple cities. Her celestial beauty was graceful and unparalleled in the world.
She seemed to be otherworldly and unforgettable. Xia Chen knew at first glance that this woman was Lady Zhen Luoshen.
"Lady Zhen, have you gotten used to staying in the palace these few days?”Xia Chen held Lady Zhen's hand and smiled at her.
"As long as Your Majesty is by my side, I will be satisfied wherever I go." Lady Zhen's pretty face blushed as she smiled.”
Xia Chen couldn't help but laugh. With a thought, he flipped his hand and took out a pill. The fragrance assailed his nose, arousing Lady Zhen's curiosity.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Lady Zhen looked at the pill in his hand in surprise.
Xia Chen smiled and explained," This is the Heaven's Jealousy Pill. One pill can make a person live for a thousand years. As the saying goes, the heavens are jealous of beautiful women. I hope to keep your beauty."”
"Live for a thousand years?" Lady Zhen's eyes lit up, and a trace of shock appeared on her pretty face.
She looked at Xia Chen in shock. She had never thought that the emperor would have such a pill, and it looked like he was going to give it to her.
"Eat it. A thousand years is enough for me to find a way to help you become an immortal.”Xia Chen handed the pill to her.
Lady Zhen's heart shook and she was naturally deeply touched. She gently leaned into Xia Chen's arms and felt sweet in her heart.
"Your Majesty, this thing is too precious. It's better for Your Majesty to eat it.”Although Lady Zhen was touched and wanted it, she had to think about Xia Chen.
However, Xia Chen shook his head and smiled.""Silly, since zhen gave it to you, it proves that this pill is no longer needed.”
"I ate it!" Then, he fed it to Lady Zhen.
As soon as the pill entered her stomach, Lady Zhen felt a mysterious power spread through her limbs and bones. There was a powerful vitality, as if there was endless vitality.
At this moment, Lady Zhen's pretty face was glowing, as if she had suddenly become even more beautiful and charming.
"Your Majesty…" Lady Zhen's eyes were misty as she looked at Xia Chen shyly. She was clearly in love.
Xia Chen smiled and carried Luo Shen into Lady Zhen Palace.
........
The night passed quickly. The next morning, Xia Chen woke up and saw Lady Zhen sleeping soundly like a fairy in her sleep.
He kissed her gently, got up, and got dressed by the maids before leaving Lady Zhen Palace.
Xia Chen walked straight to the imperial court after leaving Lady Zhen's Palace and saw the officials discussing something.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
When the ministers saw Xia Chen, they immediately knelt down respectfully and shouted three times.
"Everyone, please rise!"
Xia Chen sat on the dragon throne and gently raised his hand to let the civil and military officials stand up. Then, he swept his gaze across all the officials.
"State Preceptor, tell me, what progress has the Supervision Department made? What progress has the navy made?"”
Mister Shui Jing stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, the manufacturing supervision department has gathered all the skilled craftsmen, a total of 156,000 people.”
"The navy has already been established. This is the list of names of the heroes from all over the world.”
As he spoke, Mister Shui Jing handed over a list for Xia Chen to take a look.
He carefully examined the name list. It was densely packed with the names of the talents who had come to Luoyang to apply.
Among them, a few navy talents caught Xia Chen's attention.
"Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Sun Jian, Sun Ce?”Xia Chen looked at the list in surprise. They were the people who were the best at water battles in the Three Kingdoms.
Moreover, Sun Jian and his son had come, and even Zhou Yu had come. Clearly, they had taken a fancy to this opportunity for the Great Han Dynasty to build a navy.
"Very good. Call these people over. Zhen wants to personally question them.”
Soon, Xia Chen pointed out a few names and asked someone to call them over. As soon as the order was given, someone immediately rushed to summon the people on the list.
Not long after, a few people hurried in from outside the palace gates. They were led to the court by a eunuch.
"Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Sun Jian, Sun Ce!”
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor.”
The seven burly men knelt down in unison. Their faces were filled with excitement. Clearly, being seen by the Emperor meant that they were valued.
"No need for formalities, rise!"
Sure enough, Xia Chen didn't let them die. He carefully sized up the seven people in front of him.
Sun Jian and Sun Ce were very similar. They had extraordinary martial strength and were considered powerful generals of their generation. However, the Great Han Dynasty was now Xia Chen's world.
"As expected, they are all great generals. Very good, I am very pleased.”Xia Chen nodded slightly and praised.
Xia Chen looked at them and suddenly said,""Listen well, I will give you a chance. Whoever can train a navy elite that can fight within a month, I will make him a general.”
"Warships, resources, and soldiers are all available. If you can train an elite navy that can fight within a month, I will definitely reward you.”
"However, if you can't complete it, you can only be a deputy general. In the future, you can only be promoted after you have rendered meritorious service.”
Gan Ning and Zhou Yu's eyes lit up with excitement.
This was simply a chance to soar into the sky. Once he succeeded in obtaining the Emperor's recognition, he would immediately become a general and lead an army alone.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
The seven of them knelt down in unison and swore loudly. They secretly worked hard in their hearts, wanting to stand out in this opportunity.
"Very good. You can go down and choose your own soldiers. The entire Imperial Court will open a path for you, but if you don't satisfy Zhen after taking the benefits, you should know the consequences.”
"Yes, sir!"
Gan Ning and the others shivered. Even Sun Jian felt a heavy pressure weighing down on him. The emperor's might was terrifying.
He was shocked. He had a new understanding of the current emperor. This was a powerful, mysterious, and wise lord.
Xia Chen was in a good mood after sending Gan Ning and the others away. He was just waiting for them to train the navy and then start building a strong one.
This was the prelude to preparing for the expedition. Once Xia Chen completed the formation and training of the navy, it would be time to go to the East Ocean Continent and kill the Demon King's true body to complete the mission.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, Xia Chen directly announced his withdrawal and left the court hall first.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials respectfully sent him off. Xia Chen left the hall and went straight to the rear palace. He suddenly stopped in front of a palace.
"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Li's palace.”the young eunuch said from behind.
Xia Chen nodded. Naturally, he knew who Consort Li was. Da Qiao, who was as beautiful as glass, was Consort Li conferred by Xia Chen.
As for Xiao Qiao, she was pretty, young, and beautiful. She was conferred the title of Consort Li.
"You go down, zhen will go take a look."
Xia Chen thought for a moment and waved his hand to dismiss the young eunuch. He walked into the Li Concubine Palace alone.
As soon as he entered, he saw two graceful figures admiring the flowers in the garden.
