Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

After Kangxi finished speaking, he said to Nalan Mingzhu who was standing aside, "Draft an imperial decree to restore Wei Xiaobao's title of first-class Duke Lu Ding, and rebuild the Wei Mansion for Princess Jianning to live in."

Hearing Kangxi's words, Nalan Mingzhu was delighted. He knew that the first-class Lu Ding Duke was a very high title, second only to the prince. However, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, Han people had to have great merits to be made kings. For example, Wu Sangui was a founding hero of the Qing Dynasty and was named King of Yunnan.

Wei Xiaobao is just a Han Chinese, but he has received such an honor, which shows that the emperor loves him very much. I must curry favor with Lord Wei in the future.

"Emperor brother, Emperor brother..." A quick shout came from outside the palace, the voice was clear and loud, with a bit of anxiety and excitement. Everyone turned their heads and saw Princess Jianning leading the two-year-old Shuangshuang into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Princess Jianning's face was full of joy, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She walked quickly towards Kangxi and asked anxiously, "Brother Emperor, Xiaobao is not dead? Is this true? Please tell me, is he still alive? Where is he now?"

Kangxi frowned and said unhappily: "Nonsense, this is the court, not the harem, why don't you leave quickly!" His tone was serious and had a hint of majesty.

However, Princess Jianning did not back down. She stood there stubbornly, with her hands on her hips, and said in a naughty manner: "Brother Emperor, if you tell me, I will leave right away. If you don't, I will stay here." Her bright big eyes stared at Kangxi, revealing her determination and persistence.

At this time, the eunuchs in front of the emperor saw Princess Jianning being so rude, and they came forward one after another, ready to coax her away. They had helpless expressions on their faces, but they had to act according to Kangxi's mood.

However, just as the eunuchs were about to approach Princess Jianning, Princess Changyi Wei Shuangshuang suddenly stretched out her little hand, clenched it into a small fist, and waved it towards the eunuchs.

The eunuchs in front of the emperor stopped immediately, their faces showing fear. They knew very well how powerful Princess Chang Yi was. She was a bully in the harem, as strong as an ox, and no one dared to provoke her easily.

Faced with Shuangshuang's threats, the eunuchs in front of the emperor had to stand far away, not daring to take another step forward. They secretly complained in their hearts that this Princess Changyi was too difficult to deal with, putting them in a dilemma.

Kangxi saw that these eunuchs did not dare to take action, and he also knew the reason, so he could only sigh helplessly and said to Princess Jianning: "Wei Xiaobao is not dead, and he is alive and well in the Ryukyu Kingdom. I have restored his title, and I will send someone to tell him tomorrow to come back and serve as an official. Is this all right?"

When Princess Jianning heard this, she danced with joy and said to Emperor Kangxi excitedly: "Thank you, brother emperor, thank you, brother emperor... Shuangshuang, hurry up and thank your uncle!"

Wei Shuangshuang also imitated her mother and shouted in her childish voice: "Thank you Zou Zou."

Emperor Kangxi smiled and said to Princess Jianning, "Well, the envoy will leave tomorrow. If you need anything to take with you, you can give it to Long Keduo."

After listening to this, Princess Jianning thanked Emperor Kangxi, then happily took Shuangshuang out of the hall and walked towards the harem.

Three days after leaving Osumi, the huge fleet finally arrived at Shuri Port.

Shuri Port was bustling with activity at this time, because the triumphant return of the Tiandi Army had shocked the entire city, and the people poured into the streets to cheer and welcome the heroes back. Ryukyu King Shang Ning led a group of ministers to the dock early to welcome them, including Qiu Daoji and Wu Sanniang.

Wei Xiaobao stood at the bow, looking at the lively scene at the dock, feeling deeply moved. He was followed by Su Shuan, Shuang'er, Ling Zhao, He Tishou, Xu Xueting and Lu Siniang who got off the boat together.

When King Shangning and others saw Wei Xiaobao and his party land, they immediately went forward to greet them. When they learned that Ling Zhao was the new female emperor of Japan, they all congratulated her. When they learned that Japan, Goryeo and the Mongol tribe Junggar had all joined the Heaven and Earth Federation, everyone could not help but be amazed.

"The commander-in-chief is so powerful! Not only did he marry the emperor, but he also expanded the territory of the Heaven and Earth Federation." Qiu Daoji said in amazement.

"Of course, if you're not awesome, how can you be my uncle?" Wu Sanniang said, looking at Wei Xiaobao with admiration. After she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed the handsome man wearing a mask behind her and asked curiously, "Uncle, who is this handsome guy? He looks very mysterious!"

Wei Xiaobao introduced him with a smile: "His name is Xu Xueting, and he will be with us from now on."

Wu Sanniang's eyes lit up with delight, and she said, "Xu Xueting, what a nice name. But why does he wear a mask? Is there something he can't tell me?"

Wei Xiaobao laughed and replied jokingly: "This guy is too handsome. I'm afraid that the girls passing by will lose sleep when they see his face. So he has to wear a mask to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

Wu Sanniang couldn't help laughing when she heard this and said, "So that's how it is. My uncle is really humorous. But I really want to see what he looks like and whether he is really that handsome."

Wei Xiaobao shrugged and said, "Don't even think about it. Unless he is willing to take off his mask, no one can see his true face."

Wu Sanniang was a little disappointed, but still full of curiosity and expectation about Xu Xueting, wondering what kind of story and charm this mysterious man had. Xu Xueting stood quietly aside, seemingly not caring about their conversation, just silently observing the surrounding environment.

King Shangning stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Commander-in-Chief. Thank you for helping my Shang family avenge the hundred-year hatred of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Ryukyu Kingdom is now rich and strong, and all this is due to the Commander-in-Chief."

"King Shangning, you are too kind. This is the result of the joint efforts of all the soldiers of the Tiandi Army and the joint struggle of all the Ryukyu people. I personally dare not belittle myself." Wei Xiaobao replied modestly.

At this time, Qiu Daoji stepped forward and said, "Commander-in-chief, in accordance with your will, we have built another 5000-ton cruiser. The ship has been successfully launched, and the navy has been able to operate it skillfully."

Upon hearing the news, Wei Xiaobao said happily: "That's great! In ten days, I will set off for China, and this newly built cruiser will be just right for me. Moreover, I have many good things to give you." After that, he took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it to Qiu Daoji.

Qiu Daoji took the notebook and looked at it. He couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the densely packed records of various advanced technologies and manufacturing methods.
