*****
The day has changed, this morning the weather is very bright as if welcoming and supporting the living creatures to start their eternal routine of seeking livelihood. In the Youngzhou Royal Palace everyone had already started doing their activities.
Xiao Feng from yesterday had already returned from the mountain of Thailand and he went straight to his residence, Feng Xi as usual he was going to the central pavilion all together to see Zhu Yue who was still training.

This morning Xiao Feng planned to meet his father who was sitting leisurely enjoying tea accompanied by queen Xiao Lian.
"My wife, if I could enjoy every morning like this, would be happy for me, not thinking about world affairs and not having to worry about children" Xiao Dong said. Queen Xiao Lian smiled then twitched Xiao Dong's shoulder
"My husband is a risk as a leader, there will come a time when we are just spectators"
"Rightly yet I'm still not sure of giving my position to the children, they still can't manage their ego"
"Let's just be all grown up in time, our kids will understand"
Xiao Dong and Xiao Lian talked and laughed, their activities halted when they heard the sound of the guards indicating that someone was going to see them.
"The Second Prince arrives"
Xiao Dong and Xiao Lian looked at each other
"Send him in"
Xiao Feng appeared and immediately saluted
"Greetings father, greetings Queen, may you live a long life" Xiao Feng said.
"Sit down Feng'er" said queen Xiao Lian with a smile, Xiao Feng nodded then he sat down in the chair, Eunuch then prepared a drink.
"What's up until this early morning to see me?" xiao Dong asked, Xiao Feng took a sip of the tea first.
"Ehm, I went to see the father and the queen just missing"
"Haha we often meet why do you miss us" Xiao Dong said
"Don't say that, it's only natural that the child misses his parents" Xiao Lian and Xiao Dong said with a small laugh.
"I understand my son very well, he's meeting me there must be something important"
"Dad is right, I went to see dad because something was going to be said" Xiao Feng said.
"Then mother will leave you two" Xiao Lian said as she got up from her seat
"No problem, this is just a little thing the queen is also fine listening" Xiao Feng said with a smile, hearing that Xiao Lian was sitting back down. Xiao Feng then took out a cloth scroll from his storage ring.
"This is something that I have gifted to father, this thing is a map of the entire Huangzhou empire painted by the Tianji master" Xiao Feng said. Xiao Dong and Xiao Lian were shocked to hear that, then Xiao Dong immediately opened the scroll.
"According to the news that this map is in the hands of master Tianji, why is it in your hands?" asked Xiao Dong.
"Actually me and master Tianji met several times while adventuring and the master taught some martial techniques. Actually while taking care of the delivery of the horses I got a message that the master will be in closed cultivation for a long time so ordered me to meet him and give him the map. I feel like this map is better kept by the kingdom as an important object" Xiao Feng explained and Xiao Dong nodded his head in understanding.
"How do you prove its authenticity?" ask Queen Xiao Lian.
"Easim called Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Wang here" Xiao Dong ordered, Kasim then left the room and soon the two prime ministers came.
"Hail the King and Queen may live a long life" said the two prime ministers simultaneously.
"Prime Minister Qin, I need your help to check on an object"
"What is a king?"
"A map of the Huangzhou empire I heard you used to see when you met the Tianji master a few years ago and this map is here, you quickly verify" Xiao Dong said. The two Prime Ministers were shocked then Prime Minister Qin approached the table and saw a scroll of cloth that had already opened. The cloth scroll was a painting of the map that the Tianji master had painted. Prime Minister Qin began to inspect every part of the painting.
Not long after the prime minister Qin finished checking.
"According to the King's orders, this was clearly a map of the original Huangzhou empire painted by Tianji masters complete with all the mountains and rivers. If the other kingdoms find out that Youngzhou has this map then they will avoid conflict with Youngzhou, Congratulations the King of Youngzhou kingdom is endowed with the sky" said Prime Minister Qin, Xiao Dong rose to his feet and observed the map.
"The Second Prince's actions are huge with this map, the Second Prince is equivalent to fighting 100,000 thousand troops" said Premier Wang, adding, Xiao Dong and Xiao Lian smiled happily.
"Feng'er you are always thinking about the country" queen Xiao Lian said with a smile.
"It's my duty as a prince and a royal"
"Feng'er with this you are a great contribution to the country, Kasim make an edict and tell everyone in the palace that the Second Prince is of great merit and given a residence and 100,000 gold coins" Xiao Dong ordered
"I take orders"
Xiao Dong and Xiao Lian smiled, Xiao Feng immediately said goodbye on the grounds that he was going to work on something. Xiao Dong nodded in understanding of Xiao Feng's activities. The two Prime Ministers also said goodbye to continue their duties, now only Xiao Dong and Xiao Lian remained.
"My husband, Feng'er is indeed the son of his choice this time around to make a big contribution"
"True, he was indeed always thinking about the country, probably because he had imperial blood so his thoughts and actions were always about world matters" Xiao Dong said.
"Sister Hua must be proud to have a son like Feng'er"
"You don't get discouraged, you also have a talented Chen'er and Jun'er, they are all our children. I myself am proud to have great children" said Xiao Dong, after a brief chat Xiao Dong kept the map and returned to his activities.
Xiao Feng had indeed deliberately pointed that out in front of Queen Xiao Lian, because he knew that Xiao Lian would use various means to smooth Xiao Jun into a successor. Xiao Feng wanted to put a little pressure on Queen Xiao Lian that she was not easy to drop, Xiao Dong had indeed not decided to whom the throne would continue. So far the only two candidates are Xiao Feng the son of the previous Queen and Xiao Jun the son of the present Queen, yet Xiao Dong had yet to see what feat Xiao Jun had produced and still gave them time to demonstrate his abilities. While Xiao Chen was also the first prince could also however Xiao Chen was indeed born when Xiao Lian was still a concubine, according to royal rules the heir to the throne must be from the legitimate queen but it does not rule out the possibility that Xiao Dong gave the throne directly to Xiao Chen because the King's decree can be considered.
