When Ying Yuyan came to see Zhao Xinglan last time, she mentioned that the ownership of the position of the imperial queen is not trivial, and there will be many hidden games and compromises behind the scenes. As for Ying Hao's own wishes, although it is not dispensable, it can play a very limited role.

He is not one of those founding heroes, his authority and prestige are incomparable, and he can truly follow his word and follow the law.

As the son of the dragon and the grandson who took over the power from the hands of his ancestors, even though he has excellent ability and can hold real power and sit firmly in the country, he still can't avoid being influenced or even constrained by many factions in the government and the opposition. Appropriate compromises and adaptations have to be made from time to time.

Therefore, the imperial empress and some important concubines are the political resources used by the emperor to make friends and win over the forces of certain important factions, each of which is very important and cannot be easily wasted.

Grand Duke Qilong has a heavy army, and his prestige and influence in the empire are in full swing, and he is naturally the object that the new emperor needs to win over, so it is inevitable that his daughter will enter the imperial palace.

"It's not certain at this time,"

Regarding Zhao Xinglan's inquiry, Yang Yufei seemed very calm: "I am just one of the candidates, and there are several competitors who are better than me in all aspects, all of whom are from old and wealthy families with a long heritage in the empire, so I can't see the results of this matter for the time being." ”

She looked at Zhao Xinglan's expression, hesitated for a moment and continued, "But ...... Ying Hao once mentioned to me that if I can persuade you to change your mind, then he will consider giving me that position when the last person chooses to win. ”

There is a high probability that the game will eventually reach an impasse, and it will be difficult for the various forces to reach an agreement, so the final solution is for the Cabinet to draw up a list of three or five of the most powerful candidates, and then present them to His Majesty the Emperor himself for decision.

At that time, Ying Hao's own attitude will become very important and can become a key bargaining chip for the final victory.

Zhao Xinglan glanced at her in surprise and said, "Since you have such a secret agreement with him, you should hide it in your heart, why do you want to tell me directly?"

Scheming, harem competition, Zhao Xinglan doesn't know much about these things, and she doesn't have any interest, but this doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything.

In the face of Yang Yufei's own problems, I am afraid the best way is to find ways to make friends with Zhao Xinglan, get closer to each other and become best friends, and slowly change the other party's mind.

As long as this matter is completed, she will be the empress of the noble and illustrious empire, and she will have a reliable ally in the harem, and it can be said that it will be a good win-win result for each other to support and help each other in the future.

Yang Yufei shook her head slightly and said: "We haven't met for a long time, but I can also see that your character belongs to the kind of woman who is very independent and unwilling to become a vassal of others, so it is not feasible to persuade you to change your mind." I don't want to play tricks on you that don't make it to the table, so I don't want to do it. ”

Zhao Xinglan felt a little warmth in her heart, no matter whether Yang Yufei's words were completely true or not, at least this attitude made her feel a little more good for her.

After all, giving up on persuading herself means that she has a considerable chance of losing the throne of the queen. I don't care about this position, but Yang Yufei is a normal girl and comes from a wealthy family in the empire, so this queen's position is extremely important to her and the family behind her.

"Actually, it's nothing,"

Yang Yufei smiled indifferently: "Even if I can't be a queen, with my family background, there will always be no shortage of important concubines, and I can also ensure the interests of the family." In fact, I really envy you, you don't have so many responsibilities and shackles on your body, you can live the life you like. ”

Zhao Xinglan groaned: "Even if you can't agree, but there may still be a way to help you get what you want, right?"

If Ying Hao learns about the true relationship between Grand Duke Qilong and Xinghao Holy Venerable, I am afraid that the position of queen must belong to Yang Yufei, and no one can snatch it away.

Of course, the current state of the Xinghao Holy Venerable is difficult to determine, and if he really falls in the near future, it is difficult to say the attitude of the newly succeeded Holy Venerable. Unless Zhao Xinglan himself can manage to fight for that position.

"I admit that sister, your growth speed is very amazing, but if you want to reach the realm of being qualified to compete for the heir of the Holy Venerable, I am afraid that there is really little hope, because there is too little time left for you. Yang Yufei instantly understood what she meant.

The next time the Star Hao Holy Venerable returns, maybe the heir assessment will be officially announced, and it will not be more than a year at the latest. Zhao Xinglan wanted to raise his cultivation to the point where he could compete with those star lords in such a short period of time, it was really a little too delusional.

"How far am I from being an heir?" Zhao Xinglan asked after a while of silence.

"According to the past practice, you must be a demigod-level powerhouse to have the most basic qualifications, and if you want to pass the test and laugh to the end, you must have a god-of-war level cultivation to be possible. Yang Yufei explained.

According to the ability level division standard of the Guardian Star Temple: after the human individual with good enough genes awakens and stimulates the ability, the first to the fifth order belong to the basic stage of ability cultivation, and the improvement of the combat power of the person at this stage is not particularly prominent, mainly reflected in the strengthening of the physique, the affinity between cells and free source energy, the ability to master various knowledge and skills is stronger than that of ordinary people, proficient in many combat skills, and can use complex weapons and equipment for long-term high-intensity combat and so on.

Above the fifth order belongs to the Phantom Star Realm, and after a long period of targeted tempering, supplemented by various cultivation resources, the affinity of the cells in the body for free source energy has been further improved, which has led to a series of changes.

Whether it is physical function, lifespan, or actual combat ability, the abilities of the Phantom Star Realm have made great progress, and they can move for a long time in extreme environments such as the void, the deep sea, and the surface of high-gravity planets without relying on any equipment. With the right ability equipment to support it, it can be extremely lethal.

Those who have reached the tenth order can be called the Holy Star Realm, and their physique has been transformed and improved again, and they have more powerful life functions, and their average lifespan can exceed five hundred years. You can use more powerful abilities to reach a whole new level of quality. and the ability to awaken one or two powerful special skills.

Even in a sixth-level civilized country, the status of the Holy Star Realm supernatural is not low, whether it is to serve the empire or accept the solicitation of wealthy families, they can get quite generous treatment and enjoy all kinds of privileges and conveniences. That's the benefit of having power.

Go up to the Holy Star Realm, and after reaching the fifteenth rank, you can obtain the title of demigod. As the name suggests, the powerhouses of this level have truly broken away from the category of normal humans, have a longer lifespan, can skillfully control and use a variety of different attributes of energy, awaken a variety of powerful abilities, and exert unimaginable lethality.

A demigod-class powerhouse can easily destroy the regular capital warships of a level 5 and 6 interstellar civilization country, and can also pose enough threats to large targets such as war fortresses and star fortresses. It is a veritable deterrent presence on the battlefield, a force that can determine the outcome of a war.

The number of strong men in this level is one of the important reference criteria for measuring the military strength of a large country. Limited by their own qualifications and resources, the vast majority of supernatural beings will find it difficult to touch this realm in their lifetime.

Demigod-level abilities continue to improve, and after breaking through to the twentieth order, they can obtain the title of God of War. The gene cells in the body are perfectly matched with the free source energy of the universe, and they began to try to touch and comprehend the rules, deriving all kinds of incredible, earth-changing powers, and their longevity is more than a thousand years.

In a senior fifth-level interstellar civilization country, there are usually only one or two god-level powerhouses in charge, and even in a sixth-level civilization country, there are only a few powerhouses at this level. Therefore, his status is extremely respectful, and he has great authority, and he can enjoy the glory and treatment of the prince of the empire.

Zhao Xinglan's current strength is the twelfth order, and there is still a gap of three ranks from the demigod-level powerhouse, and the god of war level is even more out of reach. Moreover, according to past records, no matter how outstanding a genius is at this level, his cultivation speed will slow down, and it would be good to be able to improve one rank in two or three years, and most strong people may not be able to break through for decades.
