Chapter 718: The Empress
The Guardian Star Hall is located at the headquarters of the Blue Dome Empire's capital, located in the orbital area of Planet 19, where the twenty-four large planets, along with the hundreds of giant void floating lands around it, belong to all the properties of the Star Temple.
On these planets and floating lands with unique environments, there are countless people with abilities, ranging from newcomer students who have just activated their abilities to masters of the Star Venerable Realm. There are many ability research institutions and various industries that serve the ability here, and the empire's largest cultivation resource trading center is located here.
In the middle of a certain floating land with beautiful scenery and majestic mountains and rivers, a blue flat-topped pyramid building with a height of 1,000 meters stands quietly, which is the residence of the high-ranking and powerful man of the Guardian Star Palace: Xuanyue Xingzun.
In the main hall at the top of the pyramid, a woman who looked no more than thirty years old, with a fair complexion and a plump body, sat on her throne, her slender Danfeng eyes opened and closed, and the slightest essence flickered. The invisible coercion made many of the subordinate maids in the hall dare not come out.
“…… Why did the teacher do this? Can any of you analyze it for the deity?"
There was silence in the hall.
Xuanyue Xingzun's qualifications are one of the earliest disciples of Xinghao Shengzun, and there is nothing to say about his natural ability and qualifications. It was because she herself had always believed that the teacher would definitely pass on the mantle to her in the future, and the next generation of the Lord of the Guardian Star Hall was none other than herself.
It's a pity that Xinghao Saint Venerable's recent unexpected actions have surprised the outside world, and at the same time, it has also made it more and more difficult for Xuanyue Star Venerable's mind to remain peaceful.
Yan Minghua hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to say, "Teacher, no matter how the situation changes, that Zhao Xinglan's participation in the inheritance test is already a sure thing. So ......"
"So what?" asked Xuanyue Xingzun.
"The test process lasted a long time, there were many dangers, and her cultivation was low, and if something happened during the period, it must be a matter of course. Yan Minghua looked at her face and continued.
No matter what the Star Hao Holy Venerable had, this inheritance test must not be false in the slightest, everything must be overcome by the participants' own mental ability, and no one can help during the period, and no one is allowed to interfere in any form.
Therefore, if Zhao Xinglan fell early because of some kind of accident, it would be because she was not good at learning and couldn't complain about others.
A smile appeared in Xuanyue Xingzun's eyes, and he said, "Very good, then so be it! I want to see what kind of skills this little girl has!"
……
After the enthronement ceremony, it was already nightfall.
“…… Beautiful Miss Zhao Xinglan, Your Majesty asked me to escort you home. On the side of the square outside the palace gate, Li Qingluan said.
Zhao Xinglan looked at the two sisters who had changed into palace guard commanders, and behind them there were a large group of palace guards. This is all from Ying Hao's instructions, so as not to let the blind guy come over to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.
"Let's be together, then. ”
Zhao Xinglan said with a smile, she and the two sisters have been getting along for a long time, and they are already very familiar with each other, so there is no need to be too polite.
After returning to the Grand Duke Qilong's mansion, Zhao Xinglan still maintained a low-key and introverted style and closed the door. All visitors are refused.
Since there are ten more days to go before the new emperor's draft, she and Yang Yufei are busy entering the Star Gate to hunt alien beasts to collect resources, and then get rid of them through the secret channels of the Duke family and exchange them for star crystal resources.
When Yang Yufei officially enters the palace in the future, some things will not be so convenient.
During this period, Xinghao Shengzun came to see Zhao Xinglan again, talked for a long time before leaving, and handed her a batch of secret industries and manpower before leaving. That Mu Qin is the person in charge, and he belongs to the confidant who has served the Holy Venerable for many years, and he will be directly responsible for her from now on.
This move made Zhao Xinglan feel a lot more confident, after all, except for one Yang Yufei, she had no one to really trust and rely on in the imperial capital. Now that she has this team, it means that she can do more.
The scheduled time came quickly, and as night fell, the banquet in the imperial palace officially began, and the beauty was like clouds.
The banquet implements a separate meal system, each noble lady has a delicately carved white jade table in front of her, and many palace maids will serve all kinds of delicacies and seafoods, drinks and drinks in turn, and the soft and soothing music echoes in the palace.
It's just that the ladies are not interested in the food in front of them, and after only a few symbolic bites, they wait anxiously for the most important moment.
Ying Hao on the throne looked at the large group of dressed and radiant girls below, they were all from wealthy families in the empire, and there were many princesses and nobles from vassal countries, these were all women who were qualified to enter the palace to participate in the draft.
As far as the eye can see, the court is full of beauty. Graceful and violet, many noble ladies have their own charming, or youthful and lively, or elegant and generous, or mysterious and cold, or graceful and noble, all kinds of customs and manners.
This can be said to be the most outstanding group of beauties in the empire, and even Ying Hao, who is used to seeing stunning colors, has a shocking feeling, after all, he is also a man with normal body and mind.
Among the thousands of noble women, about 5% of them have perfect genes, so their appearance and temperament are obviously higher. Of course, there is no need to talk about the net worth background. After all, ordinary family forces do not have the capital to provide them with massive resources for perfect genetic optimization.
According to convention, noblewomen with perfect genes can be qualified to enter the palace and will be officially crowned concubines. The starting point is much higher than the other women.
“…… Your Majesty, the time has come. ”
With the reminder of the ceremonial lady, Ying Hao answered, put down the wine bottle and slowly got up.
Dressed up and radiant, Yang Yufei sat in the front position below, and there were several noble girls with the same noble temperament and stunning beauty next to her. These are all wealthy giants from the oldest empire, and their own conditions are also extremely excellent, and they belong to the strong contenders for the position of queen.
It's just that after such a long time, the effect of the mysterious painting scroll gradually emerged, making Yang Yufei's appearance and temperament more and more outstanding. Even if it is the same woman, there is a stunning feeling that is almost suffocating when looking at her, let alone changing to the opposite sex.
Ying Hao looked at her, and then looked at the women around her who were full of expectation in their beautiful eyes, sighed slightly in his heart, and slowly walked over and stopped in front of her.
"Your Majesty. ”
Yang Yufei called softly, holding the wine bottle in both hands and offering it to him.
Ying Hao nodded, took a sip, and then picked up the lilac jade Ruyi from the gold plate held by the female officer next to him and handed it to her.
"From now on, the affairs in this imperial palace will be up to you. He said lightly.
But he added in his heart: It would be great if Zhao Xinglan was here.
It's just that she wants to compete for the position of the Holy Venerable, and she can't be reluctant. However, with the relationship between Yang Yufei and her, there may be a possibility of a kiss to Fang Ze in the future, and it is not bad to be a secret lover.
