Ye Lingyue's request once again surprised Emperor Beiqing; he had originally thought that Ye Lingyue would request something else, such as marrying into the Feng Residence.
North of Purple Bamboo Ridge is desolate and secluded; although it is Beiqing's territory, Emperor Beiqing has long since stopped valuing it.
In Emperor Beiqing's eyes, that region, despite its vastness, pales in comparison to the wealth of the Feng Residence.
"Then I shall grant Yue Marquis's request. Starting today, the territory north of Purple Bamboo Ridge will be permanently given to Yue Marquis." Emperor Beiqing appeared in good spirits and readily agreed to Ye Lingyue's request.
The palace banquet continued, with envoys from different countries presenting their congratulatory gifts and blessings. However, after the earlier display with the Qiankun Purple Dragon Robe, both Emperor Beiqing and the civil and military officials saw the Yue Marquis from Daxia in a new light.
