Chapter 1061: Wealthy Beyond Humanity

"How was I lazy?" Luo Quan looked at Ye Zhining very unconvinced.

"If it weren't for you being lazy and wanting to rely on eating pills to lose weight, I wouldn't have given you this beauty pill."

"It's impossible for beauty pills now to only have beauty effects; how can they compete with other products on the market without adding some whitening, breast-enhancing, hip-enhancing, and antioxidant effects?"

"So this is neither my fault nor the pill's fault; then whose fault do you say it is?"

Ye Zhining looked at Luo Quan with a smile and conducted a well-founded analysis.

Luo Quan fell silent after listening, realizing it was indeed her own problem.

At first, when she found she was getting fat, she intended to rely on exercise to lose weight, but thinking Ye Zhining had better medicine, why not use it?

Who knew the effect of this medicine was too good, causing such an awkward situation now.

"Sigh, I was a bit lazy this time; I should have relied on normal exercise to lose weight." Luo Quan lowered her head and sighed, then found she couldn't see her stomach and feet anymore.

Perhaps this is the different scenery possessed by girls with different figures.

"Don't be sad."

Ye Zhining sat beside Luo Quan and hugged her shoulders, saying softly: "Actually, what's wrong with being a bit bigger? In our Sheng Tang Heavenly Dynasty, we have always valued fullness as beauty; if one is born a 'flat princess,' then the charm will be greatly reduced."

"And you are now the most popular type in the Sheng Tang Heavenly Dynasty."

"I was already very popular before I took the pill."

Luo Quan sighed, not intending to continue this topic, and shifted the topic: "You didn't miss any big events while you were on Earth for that period of time, did you?"

"You worry too much." Ye Zhining laughed, "The world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment; what big events could there be?"

"The memorials of those ministers are nothing more than content related to people's livelihood, economic policies, scientific research, etc. They are important, but for the most part, I just glance at them and then sign to approve."

Ye Zhining stood up as she said this, her eyes becoming deep: "The Sheng Tang, this huge imperial dynasty, has operated to this day, and every structure and department has found its own operating laws; plus the territory of the Huanyu civilization is really too vast, and 70% of the resources have not been explored to this day."

"In the absence of external threats, it's difficult for the civilization to have any crises even if it wants to."

"So don't worry about these things; just live every day happily."

Hearing Ye Zhining say this, Luo Quan knew she was worrying unnecessarily.

The internal and external situation of the Huanyu civilization is indeed quite dreamy.

There are no enemies that can threaten this prosperous civilization, and there are almost inexhaustible resources internally; although the people's lives are not a utopia, they are relatively stable and wealthy; if you only look at Huanyu Star, it's no exaggeration to call it heaven.

Speaking of heaven, Luo Quan remembered the Dawn Church: "By the way, Your Majesty, has the Saintess looked for me recently?"

"She has." Ye Zhining nodded, "Before, didn't the Pope of the Dawn Church say he wanted to build a 'Holy Mother Summer Palace' for you? You didn't want to go to the territory of the God-Blessed Federation, so it could only be built in my territory. A few days ago, she talked to me about this matter."

"Then did you agree?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

Ye Zhining replied with a smile: "Building a Summer Palace for you is a good thing; the money and materials are the responsibility of the church, and this is a super project, which can drive local economic development and promote diplomatic relations between the Sheng Tang Heavenly Dynasty and the God-Blessed Federation; it can be called killing three birds with one stone."

"So I am quite in favor of this matter and have already signed and arranged for the Minister of Works to handle it; the cardinals and craftsmen from the church should be here in these few days."

"At that time, there will be many details to discuss with you; you can make any requests for the Summer Palace, and these fanatical believers now see you as closer than their own mothers."

"So exaggerated?" Luo Quan was taken aback.

"Ever since the previous Saint Son traveled the starry sea, without the blessing of holy power, the flow of the 'Light Spring' in the Holy City has decreased a lot."

"This kind of spring water has many wonderful uses such as prolonging life, improving holy power cultivation, promoting meditation, and deepening faith; it is one of the treasures that the Dawn Church relies on for survival."

"The Saint Son's departure was a not-so-small blow to the Light Spring, but recently the Light Spring has regained its vitality, and the spring water gushing out every day fills a public bath for ten thousand people. Guess whose credit this is?"

"It wouldn't be me, would it?" Luo Quan laughed foolishly.

"Who else could it be?" Ye Zhining also laughed, "The Holy City of the past was like an old rich man who was already advanced in age; he had money, but he always felt gloomy."

"Now with the nourishment of the Light Spring, the whole city is full of vitality, and the church's high-level officials to ordinary believers are overjoyed, saying it is all the credit of the great Holy Mother."

"If you go to the streets of the God-Blessed Federation now, if you meet believers, they will probably run over and kneel down to pray for you."

"Really?" Luo Quan was still a bit skeptical about this statement in her heart, "Before, when livestreaming, there were quite a few Federation citizens in the barrage saying weird things."

"Hey, doesn't this just show your charm?" Ye Zhining patted Luo Quan on the shoulder, "Moreover, there is a very big difference between what people say on the internet and in reality; I have deep personal experience with this situation."

"I usually use a small account to see the evaluation of me by my people when I have nothing to do; the comment section of the official account is still normal, all singing praises of me."

"But when it comes to counting the beauties of Huanyu, these people completely changed their faces; although they still praised me, the language changed from respect to disrespect, and some even wanted to backstab me. You say this isn't being bold and reckless?"

"But the internet is like this; most of the words said here cannot be extended to reality."

"And in reality, these disrespectful people will only submit to me!"

Hearing Ye Zhining say a lot, Luo Quan looked at her expression and smiled: "You seem quite proud."

"Of course it's worth being proud of; after all, this is also a manifestation of charm."

Ye Zhining said as she lay back on the bed and patted the soft cushion underneath: "Beloved concubine, since returning to Huanyu, the number of times I've slept can be counted on one hand."

"It's not insomnia; it's just purely that I can't sleep. Thinking about it, it must be because I don't have your company."

"To save my increasingly weak nerves and haggard body, would you be willing to share a bed with me tonight?"

"A super expert above the Dao-Entering stage will become haggard?" Luo Quan felt she was being treated like a fool, and this sentence was so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

"I never tell lies; if you don't believe me, look, my face is haggard." Ye Zhining opened her watery eyes, and there was no sign of negative status on her beautiful and moving face; her complexion could be said to be quite good.

Nonsense, martial artists of this level have a lifespan of ten thousand years, and bringing the dead back to life is just a matter of blowing a breath; their vitality is not too vigorous.

Ye Zhining is also in her prime; it's hard for her complexion not to be good, so she is clearly telling a lie.

However, considering she helped her with a favor, Luo Quan didn't expose this lie and could only nod: "Whatever, but maybe Bai Xingwei will come to find me tonight."

"Why, does she have the habit of sleeping with you too?" Ye Zhining was stunned for a moment and pouted, seeming a bit unhappy.

Luo Quan shook her head: "She didn't before; who knows about the future? A few days ago, she came to find me for something and just soaked in the bath with me."

"What!" Ye Zhining's eyes widened like copper bells, "Actually soaking in the same bathroom as you; I haven't enjoyed such treatment, how outrageous!"

"There are many people who have soaked in the bath with me; you didn't say it yourself." Luo Quan chuckled, "Besides, we are all girls; what's wrong with soaking in a bath?"

"In the north of our country, there are public bathhouses, where dozens of people soak together."

"Isn't that a 'wine pool and meat forest'?" Ye Zhining imagined such a scene and felt that only her licentious father could do such a thing.

In ancient times, this belonged to the operation that only a monarch of a fallen country could come up with, but it was quite satisfying.

"I don't even know why you would pull it to 'wine pool and meat forest'." Luo Quan was helpless when she heard Ye Zhining's description; those are regular bathhouses!

"So there are irregular ones?" Ye Zhining was curious.

Speaking of which, from childhood to adulthood, she had only heard of it and hadn't seen it properly.

Her father probably went there quite a bit when he was young, and several concubines were the head courtesans of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Building back then.

As for what type of organization the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Building was, using the words of her beloved concubine's hometown, it was probably something like the "Meikong Network."

"Anyway, I haven't been to a bathhouse, so don't ask me whether it's regular or not."

Luo Quan was not interested in this kind of topic: "In short, Bai Xingwei has soaked in the bath with me, and those girls you've seen at my house have basically soaked too. If you want to soak, we can arrange a time."

"As for whether Bai Xingwei will come to sleep with me tonight and talk about the topics accumulated over such a long time, that's hard to say."

"It's okay, at worst, we'll sleep under the same quilt!" Ye Zhining waved her hand generously and started fantasizing.

If it were a man, and he soaked in the bath with Luo Quan, Ye Zhining would have exploded long ago, and slapping him ten thousand times to smash his bones into ashes wouldn't be enough to vent her hatred.

However, hearing that it was a girl, that was a different matter.

Moreover, she had also seen the Bai Xingwei that her beloved concubine mentioned; she was a good girl.

Although her appearance was not as beautiful as her beloved concubine, she had a kind of classical beauty that is now hard to see in the Sheng Tang Heavenly Dynasty, and she was heroic, which could be called a heroine among women.

Besides that, her master had also taught her for a period of time in the palace before, which could be considered a relationship of half-a-teacher, so they were naturally "fellow disciples."

And her mother was also her trusted guard, which was equivalent to "relatives on top of relatives."

With these layers of relationships, letting her come to serve in bed with her beloved concubine seemed like a good choice.

Ye Zhining glanced at Luo Quan, and a very greedy thought rose in her heart.

However, she definitely couldn't show such a thought now; maybe her beloved concubine would get jealous, so Ye Zhining could only show an indifferent appearance, as if she had suffered a loss.

"You're quite broad-minded, but Bai Xingwei might not come; I just said there might be such a situation."

Luo Quan didn't think much when she saw Ye Zhining's appearance, or rather, she didn't guess that Ye Zhining would be so bold.

"Anyway, go and say hello to Xingwei first; a distinguished guest came to the house and you don't even know, this won't do."

Luo Quan stood up to open the door, while Ye Zhining said aggrievedly: "Why do you call Xingwei so skillfully and intimately, but you have never called me Zhining?"

"You are the Empress, my sister." Luo Quan was speechless, "Without your permission, I'm afraid of being beheaded if I call you that casually?"

"How is that possible? I can't bear to behead you." Ye Zhining hurriedly stepped forward to grab Luo Quan's arm and laughed: "Besides, this kind of major punishment has been abolished for a long time; people now have a high happiness index, who would commit a capital crime for no reason?"

Luo Quan smiled slightly: "So does that mean I can call you Zhining in the future?"

"Calling me 'Husband' is also fine." Ye Zhining pretended to be shy and lowered her head.

"What are you shy about when I call you 'Husband'?" Luo Quan was really a bit unable to complain.

Clearly Ye Zhining was the strong one, how did it become that she was the one coaxing?

"Right, right." Ye Zhining seemed to realize this point; how could the dignified Empress have the demeanor of a little girl? If this got out, what would happen?

It must be because she was too happy to see her beloved concubine today, so she lost her composure.

Ye Zhining coughed twice and tidied up her dragon robe and hairstyle: "Call me Zhining in the future, and also, beloved concubine, if possible, please add the word 'Chenqie' (your humble concubine) when talking to me."

"'Chenqie'?" Luo Quan's mouth twitched, "Never called that, can't do it."

Ye Zhining advised earnestly: "If you can't do it, you can learn; I wasn't used to calling myself 'Zhen' (I, the Emperor) at first, there is always a process."

"The process is still too early; let's talk about it when the time is right." Luo Quan shook her head, indicating that she was not a little white rabbit that could be kneaded by others.

"Fine, but you are not allowed to refuse when the time comes!" Ye Zhining was not in a hurry and respected Luo Quan's persistence.

Although she didn't know when the time Luo Quan mentioned would be, her life was incomparably long, and she had plenty of time to wait; after all, what she wanted was everything of Luo Quan.

And the time Luo Quan was waiting for was the day her martial arts were completed, so she could reverse the guest and host and swap roles.

So what she had to do now was drag it out, as long as she could.

After successfully dealing with the "Chenqie" matter, Luo Quan opened the door and led Ye Zhining to Bai Xingwei's room.

"Let me introduce you, this is the Empress of the Sheng Tang Heavenly Dynasty—Your Majesty Ye Zhining!"

Luo Quan stood smiling between Bai Xingwei and Ye Zhining and said to the former.

And Bai Xingwei was already dizzy and swaying at this time. ===== CHAPTER 1062 =====
