I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

The place was heavily guarded, but the guards all bowed respectfully to him.

"Mother, your son is here," Dai Xiaoyao called softly.

A beautiful woman in elegant palace attire emerged from the inner room.

She looked to be in her early thirties, with fair skin, beautiful features, mature and stunning beauty, and an excellent figure.

The beautiful woman took her son's hand and looked him up and down: "Xiaoyao, let your mother see you. Are you used to being king?"

Dai Xiaoyao smiled and said, "With Mother's care, everything is fine. The officials of Tian Ce are very polite to me, and imported weapons and equipment are given priority."

The beautiful woman nodded with relief: "That's good. What about your older brother?"

Dai Xiaoyao's elder brother was his half-brother, and the beautiful woman's emotions weren't actually that strong.

Dai Xiaoyao said confidently, "He can't cause any trouble. With Tian Ce supporting him, this stray dog ​​will never be able to come back."

Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been a matter of life and death.

The beautiful woman sighed softly, "If your father were alive, he would see you brothers killing each other."

Dai Xiaoyao interrupted, "Mother! This is not the time to talk about this. Are you content in the Tian Ce harem?"

A blush rose on the beautiful woman's face: "His Majesty treats me very well. A few days ago, he even bestowed upon me a youth-preserving pill."

The beautiful woman used to not know what female pleasure was, but now she is completely addicted and looks much younger from all the stimulation.

At this point, she suddenly lowered her voice, "Xiaoyao, let me tell you, Tian Ce's strength far exceeds your imagination. After this Wan Hua Conference, the situation in the south will definitely change drastically. You must hold on tightly to His Majesty's coattails."

Dai Xiaoyao nodded solemnly: "I understand. By the way, at today's banquet, His Majesty seemed to value that merchant named Zhao Jing quite a bit. Mother, do you know the relationship between this man and His Majesty?"

Since he had come all this way, Dai Xiaoyao also wanted to find out some information.

The beautiful woman pondered for a moment: "The Zhao Group is very famous in the southern countries. Zhao Jing is the helmsman, as you know. However, his meeting with Li Chen was also by chance. I heard Consort Zhu mention that His Majesty met him during an incognito visit. This man must have extraordinary abilities to win His Majesty's favor. You might as well spend more time with him in the future."

The mother and son chatted for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late and the beautiful woman still wanted to have the chance to serve him in bed, Dai Xiaoyao reluctantly took his leave.

On his way back to the inn, Dai Xiaoyao looked up at the starry sky, his heart filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, he was an unfavored prince. In order to prevent him from competing with his elder brother for the throne, his father sent him to study in the Tian Ce Dynasty, away from politics.

At the time, he just wanted to be a cultivator and live a carefree life. Perhaps that was the meaning behind his father's name.

But now, he has become the ruler of a country.

All of this is thanks to the support of Emperor Tian Ce.

Previously, Dai Xiaoyao had no intention of becoming emperor, but as a prince, which one wouldn't want to be emperor?
You see your dad swaggering around in his own territory every day, do you want to become like him?

If you don't have the ability, you definitely won't want to be one; if you have the ability, who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Recalling Li Chen's unparalleled demeanor, Dai Xiaoyao murmured to himself, "This is a true emperor. If I could learn even a tenth of His Majesty's abilities, I would be more than satisfied!"

Just as they were about to return to the inn, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the street corner. The person exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Dai, is that you?"

Dai Xiaoyao looked closely and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Shan? What are you doing here?"

Tang Shan strode forward and excitedly grasped Dai Xiaoyao's hand: "After we parted that day, I came to the capital to develop my career. But what about you? Why did you suddenly appear in Tian Ce Capital?"

Dai Xiaoyao sighed helplessly, "Alas, I originally planned to return to my country and be a leisurely prince, but I ended up following the will of the people and was pushed onto the throne."

As he spoke, he casually adjusted his collar, revealing a dragon-patterned jade pendant at his waist.

This is just deliberately showing off.

Everyone used to think you were awesome, but now I'm the awesome one.

Tang Shan stared wide-eyed, looking Dai Xiaoyao up and down in disbelief: "You...you're the king of Xingluo Kingdom now?"

Tang Shan was surprised, not expecting his buddy to be doing so well. They used to cultivate at the Chensha Dao Sect and were even members of the top group, the Chensha Seven Monsters.

Now that everyone has gone their separate ways, Tang Shan, with the secret support of the remnants of the Wang family, opened some shops in the capital and recruited talents to work for him, thus gaining a certain amount of influence.

Thinking of this, Tang Shan enthusiastically pulled Dai Xiaoyao along: "Come on, let's find a place to catch up. I opened a restaurant in the south of the city, so you can try our cooking."

Dai Xiaoyao readily agreed, and the two arrived at a seven-story restaurant called "Liuxianju". The luxurious decorations left Dai Xiaoyao speechless.

"Not bad, Xiaoshan, this is quite a large-scale operation." Dai Xiaoyao looked around the magnificent hall.

Tang Shan smiled smugly and said, "It's just luck. I've managed to gain a foothold in the capital."

He lowered his voice, "However, the biggest problem now is the lack of connections. Since Brother Dai is already the ruler of a country, I wonder if you could introduce me to some high-ranking officials of Tian Ce?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaoyao's heart stirred.

He was worried about how to expand his network in the Tian Ce court, and this old classmate might be a breakthrough.

But then I thought, the highest-ranking person I know in Tian Ce is Li Chen, but how easy is it to get in touch with His Majesty the Emperor?
After a few rounds of drinks, Dai Xiaoyao's gaze lingered on Tang Shan's handsome face for a moment, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: Since His Majesty Li Chen is fond of beautiful women, and Tang Shan is so handsome, then his mother must also be an absolute beauty.

If I offer up his mother, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?
But I can't tell Tang Shan about this. If he goes to offer it, the credit will be his.

I need to ask where his mother lives and observe whether she is beautiful before offering her to him. That way, the credit will go to me, and his mother can also help him in the harem. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
Thinking of this, Dai Xiaoyao asked with feigned concern, "Xiaoshan, we've been classmates for many years, but I've never met your mother. I wonder where she is now?"

Tang Shan, unsuspecting, sighed and said, "My mother lives alone in the ancestral home in a small village in the south. Now that you mention it, it's true that I haven't visited my mother in a long time."

Dai Xiaoyao pressed further, "In the south? Which village exactly? I happen to be passing through on my way back to China, so I can visit it for you, or perhaps we can go together?"

Tang Shan thought he could take this opportunity to get closer to Dai Xiaoyao, and also visit his country to observe and discuss cooperation.

Thinking of this, Tang Shan said, "Qinglin Village is located at the foot of Yunwu Mountain in the southern border of Tian Ce. I haven't been back for a long time. Why don't we travel together? I also want to see how Brother Dai is developing in Xingluo Kingdom."

Dai Xiaoyao smiled and said, "No problem, when I get back to China I'll definitely drink with my brothers until we drop!"

And so, the two scheming individuals, each with their own hidden agendas, came together to plot.
