Chapter 646: The Imperial Meeting
In the void, the abode of Master Akismona, the "Guide of Destiny", is following its own trajectory, unhurried.
Inside the residence, in a magical space, the most mysterious guardian saint of civilization in the Star Sea World Realm was meditating silently. In front of her, a light roulette with a diameter of one meter, a blue glow all over its body, and an aura of mystery and obscurity!
The roulette wheel was empty, and there was no meaningful information in sight, only clouds of light and mist tumbling and boiling inside!
The light mist is divided into three colors: pure blue, bright yellow, and purple red! Each occupies about one-sixth of the roulette area, leaving a slightly larger white area, slightly larger than the previous one, but nowhere near the sum of the three color areas!
The rest of the area is occupied by pure black areas! At a cursory glance, the area was deadly silent, cold, desperate, and devastating, and even with Akismona's extraordinary mind, as long as he looked at that area a few more times, he would involuntarily breed indescribable horror in his heart!
In the tumbling and surging of light and mist, the boundaries of several major areas are not static, sometimes the black areas will expand, but under the joint suppression of the pure blue, bright yellow, and purple and red regions, they will soon return to their original state!
The time flow of the roulette wheel is extremely fast, and it can be seen that the black area has not changed much, while the three-color area has been slowly expanding, among which the bright yellow area has the fastest expansion rate, not only swallowing up a lot of white areas, but even the purple red area has been squeezed out by her!
It's just that with the rapid advance of the time axis, at a certain point in time, a wisp of palpitating blood suddenly appeared. And then it began to expand rapidly. Soon a sizable area was occupied! Engulfs almost all of the white area. And squeezed a lot of territory in the tricolor area!
It seems that sensing the behavior of the blood-colored area, the black area, which had been unstoppable, suddenly became powerful and began to launch a fierce offensive against the three-color area! Caught off guard, the tricolor area retreated, and it didn't take long to be compressed to only one-tenth of its original size!
At this time, almost the entire surface of the roulette wheel is occupied by two major areas, black and blood, but as soon as the blood-colored area comes into contact with the black, it is as if it has seen a ghost. Quickly shrank back, and directly abandoned all the turf, completely out of the roulette!
As a result, the black area without suppression continued to expand, suppressing the three-color area to the point of disappearing! When all that remains is a desperate darkness on the entire board, it means unreserved destruction! It is a forbidden area for all life, and the complete death of the flame of civilization!
A deep sadness appeared on Akismona's pretty face, and there was faint blood and tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
She gritted her teeth, and a little ice-blue starlight on her brow quickly plunged into the disappearing tricolor area, and then pushed the roulette wheel again, regardless of her own losses!
In an instant, it was as if a meteorite hit the earth, the pillars of heaven collapsed, and the sea turned into a mulberry field. The whole roulette wheel shook violently!
Akismona has done her best to suppress the movement of the roulette wheel itself!
After the new entry starlight is integrated into the three-color area. It was like the Dinghai Divine Pearl, not only did it immediately stop the trend of their imminent destruction, but it also began to devour the black area in turn!
The light mist in the black area fluctuated violently, and one after another dead gray stars appeared one after another, launching a fierce impact towards the three-color area! It's just that they all swept away in front of the ice blue starlight!
Under the dominance of the Ice Blue Starlight, the tricolor area steadily expanded, and finally succeeded in restoring to its original size, and continued to expand, compressing the black area to the brink of collapse!
Akismona gasped heavily, and a smile appeared on her pretty face for the rest of her life!
…………
In the dormitory, the crisp and pleasant ancient chiming bell came from outside the bead curtain, Xiao Junling moved his body slightly, and silently looked at the sleeping empress curled up in his arms like a tanuki in the brocade quilt.
The beautiful and flawless face is quiet and serene, there are faint tears in the corners of his eyes, the long black hair like a waterfall is scattered on his chest, and the delicate and tender skin is clearly visible.
“…… Your Majesty, it's time to get up! The gentle voice of the female officer came from outside the bead curtain.
“…… Zhilu Dao! The person in his arms answered lazily, and the head slowly emerged from the brocade quilt, his starry eyes were half asleep, and his charming jade face had a faint blush, and the indescribable bewitching was tempting! Then there are the silky and smooth fragrant shoulders like beautiful jade, and the tall snowy peaks......
Xiao Junling's hand stroked her slippery and delicate body, and said gently: "If your body is inconvenient, just rest for a while!" ”
Dai Liwei changed to a more comfortable position, pressed the elastic snow greasy jade peak against his chest, and said in a greasy voice: "That's okay!" People want to do it again, and this time, I'm still going to ......."
As she spoke, she tried to get up, but the discomfort between her legs suddenly made her frown, and a faint look of pain appeared on her jade face.
Xiao Junling hurriedly hugged her, and said helplessly: "Who told you to be so unrestrained last night, you can't be too overdone the first time......"
Dai Liwei's face turned red, and she bit him on the shoulder hatefully, and snorted, "So what? Anyway, you're mine now, and that's what I'm going to be! ”
He shook his head and ordered the lady to come in and wait for her to get up.
A large group of palace maids rushed in with various toiletries, waiting for him and the empress to change their clothes.
"Mei Yue, you go to draft the edict!" While letting the palace maids tidy up the palace skirt for her, Dai Liwei instructed a beautiful woman in purple beside her:
"Announce the marriage news between me and Xiao Junling to the government and the opposition, canonize Xiao Junling as the regent of the prison state, and then order the heads of the cabinet, the Privy Council, and the Internal Affairs Office to come over today and officially meet them! And establish the appropriate permissions! And then there's ......"
The beautiful woman wrote down her orders one by one, and then immediately went out to make arrangements!
"This dress fits quite well, but the various decorations are a little too complicated and gorgeous!" Xiao Junling looked at himself in the mirror and said to the female official beside him.
"Your Highness, this is a dress specially ordered for you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the specifications are in accordance with the relevant regulations of the palace, hundreds of top technicians worked together, and it took several days and nights to complete it!" The female officer explained softly.
The background color is dark blue, the embroidery is exquisite, and the elegant robe is extremely comfortable to wear, the only thing that makes him a little dissatisfied is that it is too gorgeous, with his handsome and fair face, the masculinity of men has diluted a lot, and it looks full of neutral style!
The Qingqiu Empire uses pure green as the national color, and dark cyan costumes have always been only qualified for use by the empress and her own yuan. This somewhat feminine costume is very much in line with the aesthetics of the Qingqiu court, but he doesn't like it!
In addition to its exquisite appearance, the dress also has a defensive ability that is no less than that of a purple diamond-level light armor, and at the same time has a series of auxiliary functions such as avoiding dust, calming the mind, and increasing the body's affinity for energy!
The last few palace maids came over with exquisite and expensive dressing boxes and tried to put on makeup for him, but naturally he unceremoniously refused!
Dai Liwei turned her head and smiled: "These are the rules that originally existed in the palace, if you don't like it, don't pay attention to it!" As for this dress, that is, it should be worn at the court meeting, and you can usually do what you like! ”
After the two of them finished freshening up, had breakfast, and went to the main hall of the imperial palace to preside over the court meeting.
The practice of the Qingqiu Empire is that a great court meeting will be held every half a month, and all officials and nobles who are in the national capital and have sufficient status must participate! As for normal times, the heads of the various administrative departments only need to work in their own places!
Of course, if there is a more important event, Her Majesty the Empress can also temporarily announce the holding of a court meeting, for example, today, the Empress's imperial husband and the regent of the prison country appear on an official occasion for the first time, so it is natural to convene all officials of sufficient level to participate!
In the majestic hall, after a simple court ceremony, Dai Liwei took Xiao Junling's hand and officially sat on the throne.
The content of the grand court meeting is generally that the prime minister, on behalf of the cabinet, first reports to the empress on the operation of various departments of the imperial cabinet in the previous month, and then gives the cabinet's advice on how to deal with various important events that have occurred in the imperial court and abroad recently. The Empress can decide whether to approve or reject it according to the circumstances, or leave it to the courtiers to deliberate!
Although Deliwei has not been on the throne for a few days, she has been cultivated as the heir of the empire since she was a child, and she has followed her mother Empress Beluccia to the court many times to discuss politics.
After the completion of the previous link, the next step is for the officials of the various departments, who are unable to make arbitrary decisions on major issues in their areas of responsibility, and all of them are raised at this time and submitted to Her Majesty the Empress and the Cabinet for adjudication.
Xiao Junling sat beside the empress and watched her calmly handle various affairs, or discuss a certain issue with the ministers, all in an orderly manner and without any panic!
His gaze fell on the lower part of the city, and he saw many familiar faces, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Duke Luo Niya, the third princess Sakurasugi, the fifth prince Ye Shayun, the commander of the National Capital Garrison Corps, Admiral Yu Sha Kite, the Privy Council Envoy Duke Roulan Lisi, Marshal Philosrondi, and many other powerful figures!
They are all the core supporters who assisted Deliwei in the uprising, and now that the empress has successfully regained the throne, they have naturally received rich rewards, and they are all in power and prominent positions!
Seeing him coming, Princess Sakurasugi secretly glanced at him, revealing a friendly smile!
He smiled and nodded, his eyes wandering the crowd, only to notice that Duke Neon Leaf was missing.
Xiao Junling couldn't help but be a little strange, this duchess who once missed him was one of the core figures in Dai Liwei's camp, who was in the national capital, secretly collecting and sending intelligence, providing shelter for the empress's supporters, and organizing the assassination of Su Moya's supporters, which can be said to be a high degree of hard work!
Now that the empress has ascended the throne, it stands to reason that her status should also rise, but somehow she is not even qualified to participate in the court meeting! (To be continued......)
