Volume 1 Chapter 346 Meet the Empress
Following the palace maid who was called Aunt Ming by Xing Lingluo, Ren Tianxiang and Xing Lingluo passed through one passage after another in the palace, getting closer and closer to the bedroom of Her Royal Highness the Empress in the harem.
Different from the road to the imperial palace and the imperial study, as if to highlight the concept of the supremacy of imperial power, the road to the harem is tightly squeezed by the palace in front of the imperial palace on the side of the palace courtyard wall, and this path is only two or three meters wide when it is full, which is a little embarrassing compared with the palace in front of the imperial palace.
However, there are some beautiful flowers and low grass planted on the side of this trail, which is also pleasing to the eye.
And Xing Lingluo told Ren Tianxiang that in fact, the north gate of the palace is not the main gate of the harem, opposite to the imperial court, symbolizing the relationship between everyone and the small family of the Star Emperor Kingdom The imperial court and the harem are two places directly opposite, the main gate of the harem is set up at the south gate, and Her Royal Highness the queen generally takes the south gate of the palace to get out of the palace.
Along the way, Ren Tianxiang saw a lot of palace maids, and all these palace maids saw this Aunt Ming, without exception, they lowered their posture and saluted her, it seems that this Aunt Ming's status in the palace is not low.
This scene made Ren Tianxiang full of curiosity, what kind of identity does this Aunt Ming have to make all the palace maids in this palace salute her?
After Xing Ling listened, he glanced at Aunt Ming's back and found that Aunt Ming had noticed the small movements of the two of them, and then came to Ren Tianxiang's ear and whispered: "Aunt Ming is my mother's personal maid, and she is also the head of the harem. Before the queen mother married into the royal family, Aunt Ming was already the queen mother's maid, and they grew up together since childhood, and after the queen mother married into the royal family, she also married in.
I used to hear my mother say that Aunt Ming was sometimes not like a maid, but a sister to her mother's family—and their relationship was so good that it was not an ordinary master-servant relationship.
And after entering the palace, Aunt Ming got the resources of the palace and cultivated to the bandit dream realm, and now she is a phantom-level high-level monk, usually in addition to being the queen's maid, she is also the queen's personal guard. ”
Hearing Xing Lingluo say this, Ren Tianxiang looked at Aunt Ming's back and was suddenly in awe.
I have to say that there is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this palace, and this maid manager alone has a phantom-level cultivation, which is really terrifying.
Ren Tianxiang also knew that there was also an Emperor Master Xing Ni who had cultivated at the peak of the illusion level in the palace all the year round, and he had also seen that Emperor Master in the small courtyard of Xing Lingluo before. In addition to this, there is also the Emperor's Shadow Guard in the palace. Roughly calculated, there were no less than ten Phantom-level monks in the entire palace, not to mention that there were many hidden Phantom-level monks in Star City.
This is the heritage of the Star Emperor State, which has been established for nearly 10,000 years, and the background is naturally unfathomable. In such a country, it is easy to cultivate a group of phantom-level cultivators with the strength of the whole country.
Of course, many people know very well that even the background and strength of the Star Emperor Kingdom are still difficult to compare when facing the Dragon King Empire. In the confrontation with the Dragon King Empire, the Star Emperor Kingdom is not only inferior to the Dragon King Empire in terms of high-end combat power, but even the individual strength of the most ordinary soldiers, the Star Emperor Kingdom cannot compare to the Dragon King Empire.
But fortunately, the Star Emperor Kingdom still has the Sky Shifting Star Array that has been painstakingly operated for nearly 10,000 years, and even all the Star Emperor people can say that as long as the Sky Shifting Star Array is not broken, the Star Emperor Kingdom will never be defeated by the Dragon King Empire.
Thinking of the current situation of the Dragon Club, Ren Tianxiang couldn't help but have a sense of disparity. If the high-level cultivators of the Star Emperor Kingdom are only a lot worse than the Dragon King Empire, then the Dragon Society is a complete shortcoming in terms of high-end combat power.
Now in the entire Dragon Society, there are only two chief elders with phantom-level strength, as well as Ren Tianxiang's uncle Ren Tianqi and uncle Ren Tianxin...... Yes, and Ren Tianxiang's father, Ren Tianxing, is also a phantom-level monk. In addition, the Dragon Society does not have a single phantom-level monk, and the Dragon Society's god-level monks will definitely not exceed two hundred.
The total population of the modern world is about 7.1 billion, and the number of supernatural beings recruited and hidden by the Dragon Society is about 10 million to 15 million, and even 200 god-level monks can't find out these 15 million miles.
Although the Dragon Society is based on technology in the Star Empire, no matter how strong the Dragon Society's technological weapons are, few of them can reach the same level as a phantom-level cultivator.
In other words, the high-end combat power dragon club in this palace alone can't be compared. If it weren't for the Star Emperor's fancy to the mass production of the Dragon Society's weapons and the ability to give low-level monks the ability to fight against high-level monks, it would be a question of whether the Dragon Society would be able to cooperate with the Star Emperor.
I don't know how my father persuaded His Majesty Xingheng back then, but it was indeed not so easy to get this emperor to agree to all this that the Dragon Society would do in the Star Emperor Kingdom. Ren Tianxiang, who knew what his father's contribution had made in the "Support the Past" program, couldn't help but sigh.
As for the choice of technology and abilities, in fact, Ren Tianxiang is already facing this problem head-on. As his cultivation continued to rise, he, a ghost-level peak cultivator, was actually able to fight against immortal-level cultivators, and the Dragon Society weapon he carried with him was actually difficult to help him fight anymore.
Although many of the Dragon Club's technologies are indeed useful, such as "Phoenix", such as exoskeleton armor, such as those latest exoskeleton armors developed by Ren Tianxin.
But even Ren Tianxiang had to admit that after becoming an Alien, when he became a very rare ghost-level monk in the Dragon Society, the weapons of the Dragon Society helped him less and less, but the large weapons of the Dragon Society could still have an amazing effect in the face of strong monks, but those large weapons could not be manipulated by a single person, which was another problem.
Perhaps this is the current situation of the Dragon Society, and in the face of a strong enemy that cannot be fought against by individuals, the Dragon Society has chosen a feasible but enough path to see the end. The Dragon Society has the power of science and technology beyond the modern nations for generations, and secretly maintains the peace of the world, and these technologies have not encountered any bottlenecks at least for now, and the weapons of the Dragon Society are still being developed from generation to generation.
The large weapons of the Dragon Society, such as "Damocles", "Kungunir", "Pandora", "Taia", etc., have shown extraordinary deterrence when helping the Star Empire against the Dragon King Empire, and even evolved to the present, the Dragon King Empire has derived troops dedicated to fighting against the Dragon Society's weapons, and more powerful weapons have gradually unveiled its veil with the change of time.
But the sad thing is that in both modern times and this era, the deterrent power of the Dragon Society's weapons is far lower than that of phantom-level monks, and the only thing the world fears is always phantom-level monks.
It was also clearly seen that Ren Tianxiang decided the path he would take in the future. He wanted to become an illusion-level cultivator, as the greatest deterrent in the entire Dragon Society, except for Chen Guangming and Dugujue.
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxiang clenched his fists and secretly cheered himself up in his heart.
It's just that Xing Lingluo, who was on the side, didn't know what he was thinking about, seeing Ren Tianxiang's expression suddenly change, the whole person became high-spirited, and she also muttered in her heart-Tianxiang didn't hear that Aunt Ming was also a phantom-level monk, stupid, right?
Aunt Ming led the way in front, and didn't care about the interaction between the two juniors behind. Although she could hear the whispers of the two, and knew that the two juniors were still talking about themselves, but in the self-cultivation of a palace maid, she didn't stop it.
Besides, how about letting the junior talk about it? and there will be no lack of meat, she is not a traditional phantom-level monk, and she will not care about etiquette and the like. And no matter how close Xinglingluo is to herself, she is also the princess of the Star Empire, and she is just a maid, and there is no etiquette between monks at all.
After walking along this path to the depths of the palace for about a stick of incense, they finally crossed the institutions of the imperial court and entered the confines of the harem. Thinking of the speed at which the three of them walked before, Ren Tianxiang was secretly surprised in his heart, the area of the imperial court in the entire palace was so large.
In fact, the imperial court was not a meeting place, but the core of the bureaucratic system of the Star Empire. The imperial court hall is only one of the components of the imperial court, and its key structure mainly comes from one government, three ministries and twelve divisions.
The general yamen of the three departments and twelve divisions of the first government is located in the four urban districts of the Star City, with the imperial palace as the center, arranged in a cross shape. However, the general yamen of the three ministries and twelve divisions of one government is only used to receive messages or give orders, and it is usually only controlled by the highest officials of the three ministries, while the real office of the three departments and twelve divisions of one government is located in the imperial palace.
One-third of the area of the palace is arranged as the office space of the three departments and twelve divisions of the government, with the emperor's imperial study and the imperial palace as the core, so that the emperor's orders can be issued in the shortest possible time or the latest news can be conveyed to the emperor as soon as possible.
It was one-third of the area of the palace, and it took a long time for Ren Tianxiang and them to detour through the path on the side, to be honest, the previous Tianxiang had never thought that the imperial court could have such a large area.
After entering the range of the harem, the atmosphere was tense and depressed before, seeing the illusion of birds singing and flowers, it can be seen that Ren Tianxiang and Xinglingluo both relaxed.
Soon, Aunt Ming took Ren Tianxiang and Xing Lingluo into the largest courtyard in the harem.
When you enter the courtyard gate, you can see the figures in the house through the screen through the open door of the house in the courtyard.
There was such a person, wearing a crown and a brocade robe, sitting upright in the room, waiting quietly.
This person, I'm afraid it is Ren Tianxiang who he wants to see today, the empress of the Star Emperor Kingdom, and his future mother-in-law, His Royal Highness Xiao Ruoyu.
