slipping by, next year they’ll hang even lower in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crowds chase flowers, young forever it seems, I just fear I won’t be in those dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So don’t hold back, fill up the cup and pour, drunk, I’ll crash where the petals hit the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look close, those flowers blazing on the tree, aren’t the same ones from last year you’d see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi Shi held her hands in front of her chest, glanced at him with admiration while mumbling the poem he had just recited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those flowers blazing on the tree, aren’t the same ones from last year you’d see....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Xin leaned closer to him, lifted her head and looked at him with her mouth slightly open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the couples that were nearby stopped in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had heard what he had said immersed themselves in the poem’s meaning and the atmosphere around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there weren’t flowers on the trees, it fitted the scene and reminded them of how impermanent everything was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaves from the trees, their love with each other, and the short duration of their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the young women walked closer with their partners and glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to know who he was to be able to recite such a poem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they stopped themselves when they saw Lin Xuan Qi enjoying his time with Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was always those who were charming and debonair that could come up with such poems, they thought silently to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young men were also impressed with him but they tried to recall whether they had seen him somewhere before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after trying to do so for a while, all of them came up blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they could do was to remember the poem Lin Xuan Qi had just recited so that they could show off the next time they had a gathering with their friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all the attention from the couples surrounding them focused on Lin Xuan Qi, Liu Shi Shi felt a sense of pride at how Lin Xuan Qi’s talent was being appreciated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but hold the hand that was holding onto Lin Xuan Qi’s more tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Xuan Qi felt her fingers gripping tightly with his, he glanced over at her with a smirk and said, \"So, that’s the reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What more do you want?\" Liu Shi Shi’s heart thumped fast but she tried to keep a nonchalant look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi shrugged and said, \"Maybe, a dinner treat or something...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That can be done.\" Yue Xin chimed in and said, \"We should get back to the house for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the amber sky with the sun setting and said, \"I think that is a good idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imperial palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emperor, Qian Yi, sat on his throne with a stack of memorials in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned and rubbed his temple after he read the memorial that he was processing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, do you need the imperial physician?\" An eunuch that was standing next to him quickly bowed and asked when the eunuch saw his discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yi waved his hand at the eunuch and said, \"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, your majesty.\" The eunuch quickly took a few steps back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emperor, Qian Yi, threw the memorial to the side and snorted, \"All these officials know is to ask for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what do I have...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the wine cup and the eunuch quickly stepped forward and helped fill up the wine cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yi shook his head, picked up the wine cup and downed the wine in a mouthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All the resources are reserved for the cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every year, so many of my citizens have to be sent to the mines to mine their precious Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And all that I get for that is their so-called protection...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, I’m sure all the cultivation sects would honor their promises.\" The eunuch bowed and said while his eyes glanced around with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, there weren’t anyone in the room with him and the emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yi closed his eyes and gave out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt tired after all these years of being under the control of the cultivation sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t strong enough to go against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, they were trying to weaken him by asking him to send his soldiers and conquer the Da Mang Dynasty in the North.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in the name of taking control of the Spirit Stone mines in Da Mang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like the sects were trying to help expand the control of Da Qian outwards but he knew better than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were making use of the opportunity to get rid of the cultivators he had while trying to gain more Spirit Stones at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators from the sects had tried to restrict the numbers of cultivators under his control in every way they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished that his cultivation level was high enough to go against these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yi could only hope for a swift and decisive victory against the Da Mang Dynasty with the least amount of casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duke of Mu, Qian Shi has arrived!\" A voice sounded from outside the room and took Qian Yi out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yi sat up straight, glanced at the eunuch that was standing beside him and said, \"Let Qian Shi in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eunuch bowed to him and ran towards the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came back, the eunuch was with the familiar face of Qian Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Shi bowed at his uncle and said, \"Long live your majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emperor saw that Qian Shi was in a good mood and asked, \"What’s the joyous occasion? Let me know, it could help to lift my mood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said and glanced at the stack of memorials in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Shi gave him a smile, lifted his hand with the gift box Lin Xuan Qi had gifted him and said, \"I do have something interesting for your majesty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-03T13:58:56.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","b11d3ddb0162b2d4d1a059d75944a01e5cb2383368e99b7f8642d8a3fbfecfcd","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-371","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-369",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-cover.jpg"]
