Chong Xuan said, then added, "I hate my subordinates, five thousand are left with only seven hundred!"Zhong Xuan and Chu Liang remained silent. Regarding his previous question, Zhong Xuan simply repl...With his heightened perception, Jiang Wang could now sense the weight of gazes upon him.

He could also sense the emotions conveyed in their eyes.

>

Amidst the scorching gaze of envy, suspicion... all sorts of different looks, what Jiang Wang thought in his heart was that widely circulated phrase evaluating the current emperor: “The sovereign is a mighty ruler of unparalleled talent; rewards and punishments are impartial!”

There is no added grace, nor added punishment.

Today, because he helped Qi retrieve the champion at Guanhetai and made their name known throughout the land, the Son of Heaven of Qi bestowed upon him every possible honor and favor.

And what if, on that day, I make a mistake What if the Emperor is enraged

Here's the translation, keeping your instructions in mind:

This doesn't mean that the current King of Qi is being insincere. In fact, the King of Qi's reward this time is already very extraordinary. Everyone can feel how much the King of Qi values him.

His performance at the Master's Ceremony already earned him the emperor's praise. This time, his performance on the Guanhe Terrace was even more impeccable, with nothing to criticize. He truly brought honor to the State of Qi.

Though the reward is great, he deserves it!

This is a continuation of the previous sentence.

Jiang Wang merely used this as a reminder to himself, the road is still long and he needs to be humble and not complacent.

Today marks the most glorious moment of his life in Qi. Carrying the title of Huang He's champion and the undisputed first among all internal affairs officials, he received the boundless grace of the Duke of Qi at the Grand Temple of Qi.

Once holding the rank of Third Grade official, he would bring his sword to court!

Although he hasn't yet taken actual power, at least in name, he has taken a step into the ranks of Qi state's high officials. And the future holds even greater expectations for him.

But the emperor's grace and punishment, all come from the emperor, this can change!

He should know what the real foundation of life is.

The glory before him is only for today; the future depends on how he chooses to walk.

Jiang Wang took three steps forward, each step firm and sure.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

There was no arrogance, nor a hint of fear.

With both hands clasped in reverence, I deeply bowed: “Your humble servant is filled with gratitude and thanks heaven! I will certainly strive diligently and never slacken in my efforts!”

In the stands, contemporary Destroying City Marquis Li Zhengyan watched this youth who was the focus of all eyes in the center of the square. He marveled at him in his heart. To achieve such accomplishments and enjoy such glory at such a young age, the person's eyes were still so clear.

As someone of his stature, he especially understands the importance of being clear-headed. Someone who is not clear-headed might be able to achieve temporary success, but they will never achieve lasting success.

A prodigy at nineteen, capable of maintaining composure even in the face of unprecedented glory is truly commendable.

It's no wonder that the elder brother, a man of such stature, would praise this young man so highly.

At first, Li Longchuan was friendly with Chong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, so he naturally sided with Chong Xuan Zun and Wang Yi Wu's opponents. He was a little dissatisfied. However, because of his trust in Li Longchuan, knowing that his son always knew his limits, he didn't say much.

Now it seems that none of the children of high-ranking officials in the court can compare to Jiang Wang.

From a pragmatic point of view, Li Longchuan's connections are very worthwhile!

Thinking about these things, Li Zhengyan suddenly chuckled silently.

If one were to let the elder hear these thoughts, he would surely reprimand him for dwelling too much on worldly matters, and for having become tainted with vulgarity!

...But....

Of all the officials and nobles in the court, how many can truly escape the "common" ways

He silently thought to himself, wondering how long the clarity in the young man's eyes could last!

After the official had finished reading the imperial decree, a group of eunuchs followed behind him, carrying trays made of jade laden with gifts.

The first jade tray held a finely crafted storage box, within which were stored a thousand yuan stones.

The second jade tray held land deeds and house deeds, pressed down by a key. This represented a house in Linzi City. For decades, the State of Qi had ruled over the eastern region. The houses in Linzi City were unparalleled, impossible to buy even with money. Without the corresponding power and status, it would be difficult to live there long-term.

On the third jade tray lay a jade tablet, a certificate proving the selection of superior Dao arts from the Imperial Repository.

On the fourth jade tray, there was a stack of outer garments. They glittered and shone brightly, but what made them special remained unknown.

Jiang Wang only realized at this moment that the Ruyi Xianyi garment was probably the most valuable gift among all these rewards!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

It wasn't that he had keen eyesight and could tell a person's worth at a glance. Rather, of the four eunuchs presenting trays, the first three were ordinary little eunuchs, while the last one was the chief eunuch secretary from the Department of Internal Affairs, and moreover, it was his old acquaintance, Qiu Ji!

Since the identities of those offering and receiving courtesies are so diverse, naturally, “courtesy” itself becomes differentiated in terms of its value.

Especially in Churchill's eyes there was a smile, clearly approving of this "gift." It was a silent hint.

Speaking of it, the emperor's rewards this time are truly thoughtful in every way.

Even this final gift was brought by Churchill, who had already met him once.

>

E eunuch, each holding a jade tray, approached and presented the gifts.

Ginger waited for no one. Right there in the square, before everyone's eyes, he carefully put everything away.

Strictly speaking, this is a slight breach of etiquette. Generally speaking, such gifts are presented to one's residence after the fact. However, everyone knows that before receiving this deed, Jiang Wang did not have his own mansion in Linzi.

He has always lived in Chongxuan Mansion and there wasn't anyone like a steward to collect...

Before becoming a dragon among men, one must first spend some time accumulating knowledge and experience.

It is worth mentioning that when Jiang Wang received the storage box, he deftly moved all the spirit stones inside back into his own storage box, and then intended to return this empty storage box to Yu Tao.

But the little eunuch took a step back, dodging it.

Jiang Wang was taken aback for a moment before understanding, his liver flaring with anger.

Damn, Heavy Xuan Pang!

To say that Prince Qi bestowed rewards and yet cared so much about a mere storage box, as if it were something precious. Back when he was granted the title of Marquis of Qingyang, wasn't he clearly being played by that fatuous fellow

On both sides of the high platform, many people let out light laughter.

Obviously, he hadn't expected that the hero prodigy of Da Qi would be so "honest and simple". Hearing it was a thousand spirit stones, he actually thought it was truly only spirit stones, and even wanted to return the storage box!

At first, some people frowned, thinking he was so stingy that he even had to inspect his finances in front of the emperor!

Jiang Wangqiang remained composed, not letting his embarrassment show too much. He casually put away the storage box made by Qi Ting and looked at Churchill nonchalantly.

Churchill still smiled gently, without mockery. The last one carrying a jade tray shuffled his feet.

Above the Emperor's throne, suddenly came the voice of Jiang Wuyou.

“The proud sons of heaven from all the nations vie for supremacy, but I, a fine young man from the great state of Qi, shall be the victor!”

She rose to her full height since the case, revealing a dashing smile: "I personally dressed Jiang Wang in this!"

On the phoenix throne, the empress glanced at the emperor from the side of her head but still showed no expression. She did not speak either.

Prince Jiang Wuhua had a gentle expression, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Then Jiang Wu Xie put the red fruit, which he had already brought to his mouth, back on the tray.

It is worth mentioning that, compared to the last Master's Gift.

Jiang Wuqi's seat remained unchanged, still beside his older siblings. He still appeared to be one of the four most likely candidates for the position of Palace Master.

But one can no longer, as before, have a embroidered cushion, sitting before the emperor.

At this moment, he sat clad in a fox fur coat, his face looking paler than usual. Though smiling, it seemed quite laborious.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wuyu's strong and powerful long legs seemed to have stepped on many people's hearts.

She walked down the stone steps one by one, reaching Churchill's side. She picked up the stack of celestial garments and held it in her left hand, then walked past without looking back.

Throughout the entire time, Churchill remained with his head slightly bowed, displaying great deference.

And Jiang Wuyou held this auspicious fairy robe in one hand and walked to Jiang Wang's side.

Jiang Wang looked into her eyes, always feeling that she was hinting at something.

But Jiang Wuyu didn't have much to say in greeting. He just smiled at him and then said, "In ancient times, nine great immortal palaces ruled the world. This Ruyi Immortal Robe originated from one of them."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat.

Another matter concerning the Nine Great Immortal Palaces!

To talk about the thoughtfulness of Queen Mother's gift, this gift truly shows her meticulousness!

His meteoric rise to prominence with his celestial arts had already become known throughout the land, evident at the Guanhe Platform. Among the many powerful figures from various nations, those who could recognize the remnants of the Immortal Palace would surely be numerous.

>

For Dai Qi, Jiang Wang possessing part of the Immortal Palace's legacy wasn't a secret anymore.

>

That's why the Ruyi Xianyi was created!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Rewards should not only be superficial, but also given appropriately and effectively.

It was found from the treasury of the State of Qi and specially bestowed upon Jiang Wang.

A great emperor either bestows rewards with no expectation, or when he does bestow them, it should make people completely devoted to him.

Jiang Wang remained composed.

While Jiang Wuyou merely shook the Ruyi Xianyi, its radiance flowed through the air. It lingered even as she took a few steps forward, dazzling onlookers with its afterglow.

This text is empty.

Jiang Wuyou walked behind Jiang Wang. At this distance, she could feel even more intensely the unique aura emanating from Jiang Wang.

She could almost hear his heartbeat, so calm and steady, like a song. A song that sang of the story of this young man's journey.

As an imperial princess, she undoubtedly made a very successful investment. How successful Just look at how unwilling the Ninth Prince is to accept it.

As a princess, "insight" is also a very important talent, which can add to her charm.

And setting aside her status as the Imperial Daughter, she did see a quality in Jiang Wang that was different from others. Even though he was still very young and his strength was far from comparable to those true powerhouses, there was a sense of reliability about him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It seems like there's nothing this person can't do.

If one day, we could just get along as friends, it would surely be a different feeling.

It is said that after Jiang Wang won the top prize, Chong Xuan Sheng was so excited on the Guanhua Terrace that he almost went crazy.

Based on her understanding of that fat man, she found it very rare. This guy, Chongxuan Sheng, though he was always grinning and shameless, truly rarely had moments where he could let go completely.

From this angle, Jiang Wang's jet-black hair cascaded down silently, secured only with a simple hair tie.

Of course, she could also feel it, behind him, where his spine and neck met, there was a mysterious pattern.

During that time, "God's" will had been eroded, leaving only the breath of some primordial essence.

It is said that while watching the river, it drew in starlight, causing a sudden influx of stars. As night fell on the celestial dome, it helped him pierce Qin Zhizhen's divine iron wall.

She suddenly felt a strong urge to see what kind of magnificent scene it was.

Of course, there are things to be done right now.

She spread out the Ruyi Immortal Robe and personally draped it over Jiang Wang's shoulders.

The shimmering, ethereal robes silently faded their brilliance, transforming into an ordinary blue tunic that covered Jiang Wang's original attire.

The dazzling brilliance emanating from the high platform made Chongxuan envious, so much so that his teeth ached.

The emperor bestowed rewards, writing with a brush to show respect, and the imperial daughter dressed for the occasion!

What a glory!

Looking at his own son, the pride of heaven, peerless in appearance and talent, yet he was casually sent away.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

>

Humph, just a guest!

When Jiang Wang donned the auspicious fairy garment, he already understood its powers.

This garment's size changes by heart, wearing it comfortably is needless to say, avoiding dust is also almost an effect that all treasure garments have.

From the moment it donned its shell, it began to absorb his power in a way he couldn't fully comprehend yet. Dao Yuan, blood Qi...seemingly any kind of power would do, and it didn't "picky" eater. It would stop when it reached saturation.

At first glance, it might seem eerie. However, this extraction is extremely subtle and gentle, causing no harm to the host. The speed at which it draws essence is far slower than the rate at which the Heavenly Palace naturally generates essence. Similarly, the speed at which it absorbs blood energy pales in comparison to the human body's natural recovery rate.

This way of absorbing energy felt to him like the Spiritual Void Hall drawing in energy from the void. Perhaps it was some kind of common technique from the Immortal Palace era.

At the same time, he can also actively inject power to accelerate its absorption speed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And the power absorbed by the Ruyi Immortal Garment formed a secret array pattern.

This kind of pattern has two effects. First, it preserves power and can be returned to the host at any time. Second, it can resist different degrees of damage depending on the consumption of power. Currently, its defensive limit is unknown.

Compared to its defense, Jiang Wang cares more about the former.

In a sense, wearing this fairy garment is akin to having double the reserves of Dao essence or blood energy!

So-called Ruyi Immortal Robe, it seems not only Ruyi's size changes by heart, but also "Ruyi" is here.

It's a pity it can't absorb the divine light. Jiang Wang tried it quietly, but there was no reaction.

After all, it's impossible to compare with Qin Zhizhen's myriad transformations...

As for the information about the celestial palace represented by this fairy robe, nothing was gained.

These feelings only flashed in his mind for a moment. Jiang Wang politely bowed and said, "Thank you, Palace Master Hua Ying."

“For my sake, brave warriors of Qi, I too feel the glory. What need for thanks”

Jiang Wuyou moved back, gazing at him from afar for a few moments. Satisfied, she nodded and then walked back to the high platform, openly and without hesitation.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She is truly a dashing and handsome sight.

All officials, nobles, imperial relatives, and commoners are watching.

She walked between Jiang Wang and Qi Tianzi, her magnificent palace attire shimmering like a dragon in its stride.

At the end of this "Dragon's March," Emperor Qi sits alone on the dragon throne, silent yet commanding awe and submission from all directions.

And at the starting point of "Dragon's March" stood Jiang Wang, adorned in his auspicious fairy robe, calmly standing on the vast plaza before the Great Temple.

At nineteen, his every word and smile drew attention.

Every detail, from the eyebrows to the hairline, radiates a spirited and lively expression.

At that time also.

Nobles and ministers, all in fine attire.

He is in the center.

It was the day of the lunar July twenty-first, in the fifty-fifth year of Emperor Yuanfeng during the reign of Emperor Qi.

It is already late summer, and early autumn is still far away.
