Time flies, Ye Qingluan is ten months pregnant, but the child was not born as scheduled. After waiting for more than half a month, Ye Qingluan still showed no sign of labor.
"Your Majesty, the fetus is fine in my concubine's belly, you don't have to worry." Ye Qingluan advised Jiang Ping'an, "After all, we are the Venerable Dao Unification Realm, and our children cannot be treated as normal."
"Moreover, it would be better for the fetus to stay in my concubine's belly for a longer time. His innate foundation will be better after birth."
Jiang Ping'an nodded and asked, "How long do you think it will take for him to be born?"
Ye Qingluan lowered his head and gently touched his swollen belly with his hands, his face filled with maternal love. After a while, she raised her head and said to Jiang Ping'an, "I think it will take more than a year."
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ping'an said.
Ye Qingluan smiled softly and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me and the fetus. Just do whatever you need to do."
After leaving Everautumn Palace (after the Ye Manor was changed to the palace, Everautumn Courtyard was also changed to the Everautumn Palace), Jiang Ping'an returned to the Heaven's Mandate Palace to practice.
A few days later, Jiang Ping'an received a report from the palace maid that Yun Hua noble concubine (Princess Yunhua) requested an audience, and he immediately agreed.
Not long after, Concubine Yun Hua came in, saluted Jiang Ping'an and said, "Your Majesty, some of the Bearing Harmony Palace's Clarity Tea Tree tea leaves are ready to be picked."
Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but smile, "Haha, thank you for your hard work, concubine."
While he was talking, he walked over and picked up one of Yun Hua Imperial Concubine's Rouyi. As he walked out, he said, "Let's go pick Clarity Tea Leaves."
Entering Bearing Harmony Palace's backyard, Jiang Ping'an walked in front of Clarity Tea Tree, and saw that Clarity Tea Tree had grown more than a foot taller, with many new leaves growing. The mature tea leaves that could be picked were like carved jade, not only shining with precious light, but also flowing with a little Daoist charm.
He invested countless resources into Clarity Tea Tree and finally received his first harvest.
Yun Hua Imperial Concubine prepared a large number of jade boxes and asked Jiang Ping'an: "Your Majesty, do you want to pick them yourself?"
"You and I can pick together." Jiang Ping'an said.
So, the two walked to Clarity Tea Tree and started picking Clarity Tea Leaves together. Yun Hua, the imperial concubine, picked carefully, but Jiang Ping'an was much more casual.
It's just Clarity Tea Leaves. When he picked Enlightenment Tea Leaves, he almost picked it.
After picking the first batch of mature Clarity Tea Leaves, there are thirty-three in total. Jiang Ping'an left thirteen Clarity Tea Leaves to Yun Hua, and put twenty of them into his Storage Ring.
That night, Jiang Ping'an stayed with the Bearing Harmony Palace overnight.
After a night of in-depth and simple exchanges, concubines Jiang Ping'an and Yun Hua stopped just before dawn.
Yun Hua Imperial Concubine rested in Jiang Ping'an's arms for a while, then asked, "Your Majesty, when will I be able to conceive your child?"
"It will probably take another year." Jiang Ping'an said, "Empress said a few days ago that the child will not be born for more than a year."
Having said this, he hugged Concubine Yun Hua's slender waist and comforted him, "It's true that I kept you waiting for a long time, but it's also for the sake of you and the child."
Yun Hua Imperial Concubine responded with a "hmm", and then said, "I understand, I am willing to continue waiting."
At noon the next day, Jiang Ping'an summoned Ji Wusu, took out five Clarity Tea Leaves and gave them to Ji Wusu, fulfilling the promise of that year.
After winning Clarity Tea Leaves, Ji Wusu was overjoyed.
Then, she said to Jiang Ping'an, "Your Majesty, I want to go back to the Great Qian Kingdom."
With Clarity Tea Leaves, of course she must make good use of Clarity Tea Leaves's retreat in order to break through the Dao Inquiry Realm and be promoted to the Dao Unification Realm.
As for having a baby, let it go.
She had sex with Jiang Ping'an more than a dozen times, but as expected she failed to get pregnant. Nangong You Rong is not pregnant either.
Jiang Ping'an was startled for a moment and asked, "Will Yourong also come back to the Great Qian Kingdom?"
"If you can let her stay, I have no objection." Ji Wusu said.
Jiang Ping'an pondered for a moment and said, "Let her go back to the Great Qian Kingdom with you."
A few days later, Jiang Ping'an held a farewell party for Ji Wusu and Nangong You Rong. Ji Wusu and Nangong You Rong officially left Ping'an City and returned to the Great Qian Kingdom the next day.
As time flies, Great An Kingdom successfully negotiated with the Great Zhou Kingdom, Great Wei Kingdom... and other Central Prospect Continent countries, and obtained the opportunity to relocate people in those countries.
The size of the migrant population basically ranges from 500,000 to 1 million people.
Jiang Ping'an asks the officials responsible for relocating the population to lease long-distance spaceships in those countries and transport the people who are willing to relocate to the Great An Kingdom for resettlement.
On this day, Lan Yu, who was in charge of Qingqiu City, suddenly returned to Ping'an City.
"Lang Jun, the slave family is going to promote Celestial Realm." Lan Yu said to Jiang Ping'an, looking at Jiang Ping'an with a look full of reluctance.
She had Enlightenment Tea Leaves given by Jiang Ping'an, and realized that it was not difficult to be promoted to the Celestial Realm.
However, it is extremely dangerous to be promoted to a saint, especially since she has a bad background.
Hearing this, Jiang Ping'an was both happy for Lan Yu and worried for Lan Yu, with a bit of reluctance.
He asked, "How sure are you?"
"I don't know." Lan Yu shook his head.
Jiang Ping'an took out a sacred artifact - Nine Dragon Divine Shroud and put it in Lan Yu's hand. When Lan Yu came into contact with Nine Dragon Divine Shroud, he immediately knew that it was a sacred weapon, and his face couldn't help but show excitement and gratitude.
"This sacred weapon is called Nine Dragon Divine Shroud. It is mainly used for defense and trapping people. I hope it can help you successfully survive Saint Heavenly Tribulation." Jiang Ping'an said.
Lan Yu couldn't help but hold Nine Dragon Divine Shroud tightly, and said with tears, "Thank you, sir."
Jiang Ping'an smiled, and then said to Nine Dragon Divine Shroud, "Nine Dragon Divine Shroud, accept her as your master."
"She is too weak." Nine Dragon Divine Shroud said with waves of spiritual consciousness, "Moreover, the origin is not pure."
Jiang Ping'an took out a fist-sized piece of God Source Crystal and said, "If you are willing to accept her as your master, this piece of God Source Crystal will be given to you. If you are not willing, I will think you are useless..."
"Okay, I consider her my master." Nine Dragon Divine Shroud said helplessly.
This Lord is someone who is willing to sacrifice holy vessels at every turn.
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said to Lan Yu, "If you put a drop of blood essence on Nine Dragon Divine Shroud, it will recognize you as its master."
Lan Yu was a little confused, but immediately followed what Jiang Ping'an said, refined a drop of blood essence and dropped it on Nine Dragon Divine Shroud. Nine Dragon Divine Shroud waited for a while before absorbing Lan Yu's blood essence.
After Nine Dragon Divine Shroud recognized the owner, Jiang Ping'an gave the piece of God Source Crystal to Nine Dragon Divine Shroud.
Two months later, Lan Yu officially began to transcend the tribulation and was promoted to the Celestial Realm, and Jiang Ping'an became her guardian.
As expected, Lan Yu's sage Heavenly Tribulation is extremely heavy. Relying on the holy weapon Nine Dragon Divine Shroud, she finally managed to survive Heavenly Tribulation and was promoted to a saint!
