Before I Died, I Forcedly Kissed a Female Hero
Chapter 120: The richest woman in the Nine Regions, I will give you territory!
It was only at this point that Su Shi really paid close attention to Feng Chaoge's appearance well.
With phoenix eyes and crescent moon eyebrows, lips filled with broken jade, and a reddish hue on the cheeks, it made one unable to tell his true age.
His eyes were as calm as a lake, and even when he was silent, he exuded a terrifying majesty.
There was a bright red mole on her brow, adding ~ a touch of beauty to her charm.
This should be the true meaning of – in the sense of a rich woman, right?
Su Shi thought to himself.
In the Nine Regions, no one was richer than him.
Noticing his uncontrollable gaze, Feng Chaoge's brows sank slightly and his voice was ominous, "No one dares to look at me like that."
No one dared to look directly into his eyes, let alone look at him without any doubt at all.
Su Shi smiled, "That's a pity."
Feng Chaoge was confused, "Unfortunately?"
Su Shi asked rhetorically, "The document of the report you just read is mostly flattery, right?"
Feng Chaoge nodded, "Nine out of ten are all flattery."
There were dozens of these types of documents every day, and he wasn't even interested in seeing them more than once.
"If the ministers don't even dare to look at you, how can they dare to criticize you?"
Su Shi shrugged, "There is no progress without criticism, yet as the ruler of a country, you can't even hear the true voice, isn't that a pity?"
Feng Chaoge faintly stared.
Although the other party's tone was impolite, what he said did have a point.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If you're an official in the Imperial Court, would you dare to speak up and give some advice?"
Su Shi grinned, “Do you really think I'm stupid? If I work under you, my flattery will definitely be harsher than anyone else. ”
Feng Chaoge was silent for a moment.
This person's words were too direct, as if he didn't think of her as an empress at all.
However, he was already used to seeing people humbling themselves and bowing, and this kind of relaxed attitude made him feel somewhat attractive.
"Let's eat."
Feng Chaoge's place of eating was in the Zhaotian Palace.
The palace servants with jade boxes lined up and brought all kinds of dishes, food, and soup to the dining table.
The table was filled with nearly a hundred dishes, all of which were precious and beautiful dishes filled with spiritual energy.
Rare spiritual beasts, immortal potions, and spiritual herbs were everywhere.
In comparison, the Demon Empress's food all looked simpler.
Feng Chaoge took the golden chopsticks, took the spiritual herbs and put them into the cherry mouth, tasted them lightly before putting the chopsticks away and wiping the corners of his mouth with a fragrant handkerchief.
Su Shi was puzzled, "You're done eating?"
Feng Chaoge nodded, "I don't have much appetite."
Su Shi frowned slightly.
How could he prepare so many dishes when he had no appetite?
Almost a hundred dishes, but just one bite, it was too wasteful.
Moreover, looking at the appearance of the palace maids around, it was clear that the Holy Empress was usually like this the entire time.
Feng Chaoge could see what was on his mind and said nonchalantly, “There are nearly two hundred people in the imperial dining room receiving salaries, he said, if I don't use a hundred of these dishes every day, do you think they can still live? in palace?”
There were five bureaus under the imperial kitchen, the butcher's chief, the deputy butcher's chief, the butcher, the foreman.
If the Empress did not need it, then they would all be worthless.
The imperial palace was a complex and large institution, and every decision Feng Chaoge made could affect the livelihood of hundreds of people.
Su Shi paused for a moment and started moving his chopsticks.
Seeing him as he swallowed, Feng Chaoge wondered, “Didn't you just have a snack? Are you still hungry?"
Su Shi said weakly, "I hate wasting food the most!"
Feng Chaoge: "......"
Half an hour later.
Su Shi slumped in his chair and did not have the strength to say, "Oh no, I have done my best."
Although he was able to purify the essence and all the food would be refined into spiritual energy, but there were too many dishes.
After eating for half an hour, there was still a lot left.
“This inedible food will be eaten by the servants in the palace. And what the servants do not accomplish will be given to the animals and spiritual birds.”
Feng Chaoge shook his head and said, "So there's really nothing in vain, and you don't have to work too hard."
“??”
Su Shi froze for a moment, “Why didn't you tell me earlier? It almost killed me!”
"Are you asking me?"
"If you're full, come with me to the palace."
Ignoring Su shi's gnashing of teeth, Feng Chaoge got up and walked out of the palace, a hint of a smile sweeping his eyes as his back turned towards him.
###
Imperial Palace.
Civil and military officials lined up on both sides.
Feng Chaoge sat on a cold high throne, wearing a crown of purple jade beads and a majestic phoenix robe that dangled to the ground, exuding endless majesty and atmosphere.
The female official beside him said in a loud voice, "Su Shi has arrived at the Palace!"
The courtiers turned to look.
They saw a white-clothed man walking in, standing in the middle of the hall with his hands hanging down, without the slightest intention of kneeling down.
The courtiers frowned at the sight.
Even if they were important princes and ministers, they would have to kneel and kowtow when they saw His Majesty.
This Su Shi, who was a meritless commoner, was too presumptuous!
The Rite Minister said solemnly, "Su Shi, how dare you not kneel when you see His Majesty ?"
Su Shi shook his head and said, "I've eaten too much, I can't kneel."
He clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.
The smile under Feng Chaoge's eyes increased.
"Please!"
"How dare you disrespect His Majesty?"
"How dare you be so arrogant because of your services?"
"You are truly a demon, you are uneducated!"
Some priests spoke in an accusatory tone.
Most of the others looked indifferently.
"Sunny!"
The woman's office rebuked.
Silence back to the hall.
The Minister of Rites cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that this brash person be expelled from the palace!"
Feng Chaoge spoke, "In the morning at Zhaotian Palace, Su Shi did eat a lot, so he shouldn't be able to kneel."
Hissing!
The courtiers are breathing cold air!
Zhaotian Palace?
In that case, so Su Shi had breakfast with His Majesty?
This is a privilege that no one has ever had before!
The Rite Minister's face paled, and the few people who had jumped out earlier all calmly lowered their heads.
They seemed to have underestimated Su Shi's position in His Majesty's heart ……
Feng Chaoge gestured to the female official, "Say the decision."
"Yes." Yeah."
The female official opened the golden trunk of the sacred edict and read out aloud, “With the grace of God, the Empress spoke. This is an Imperial decree. ”
“Su Shi has defeated an outsider conspiracy and saved 200,000 lives in the Northern Border, and has done a great service to the world. For this service he would be given the title of Duke of the Southwest Region. ”
“This title is hereditary and will never be revoked.”
"That's it!"
The female official removed the decree.
A deadly silence fell in the hall.
The courtiers standing frozen in place, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost!
Duke of the Southwest Territories?
His Majesty really made Su Hui a Duke!
It was a five-star post, a first-rate super official, almost on par with the Prince!
Not only that, he was given the entire Southwestern Region as a feudal territory.
That territory of power was equivalent to a state within a state, and although it was still governed by the Imperial Palace, Su Shi was fully entitled to all the rights and interests of the Southwest Region.
They thought that His Majesty would reward him with some treasures and spiritual pills, but they never thought that he would directly give Su Shi a territory!
Chu Yin's face was filled with disbelief.
Is His Majesty crazy?
Su Shi himself froze.
Is this the richest woman in the Nine Regions?
What a generous offer!
At the same time, the sound of the system was heard in his ears!
