Chapter 288 The Empress of Northern Qi (First Update, Please Vote)
Xiao Feng's eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on the girl dressed like a village girl.
The girl's appearance was not too outstanding, but her eyes were unusually bright, shining like stars.
Judging from the nuclear radiation fluctuations emitted by the girl, her strength should have reached the ninth rank.
Only the famous Northern Qi Saint Haitang Duoduo could have such strength at such a young age.
Haitang Duoduo was Ku He's direct disciple. Because she had a very high talent for cultivation and was very likely to become the second grandmaster of Northern Qi, Ku He loved her very much.
At this time, Haitang Duoduo was also curiously looking at Xiao Feng and Ye Qingmei.
After all, when Haitang Duoduo was practicing martial arts with Ku He, she often heard him mention the name Ye Qingmei.
After meeting Haitang Duoduo's eyes, Xiao Feng suddenly pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Little girl, what's your name?"
"I am Haitang Duoduo, a commoner, meeting His Royal Highness the Holy Son."
At Ku He's signal, Haitang Duoduo hurriedly walked out of the crowd and bowed respectfully to Xiao Feng.
"Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was strong, and I couldn't sleep off the hangover. I asked the person who rolled up the curtain, but he said that the crabapple tree was still the same. Do you know, do you know? It should be green, fat, and red."
After reciting Li Qingzhao's Ru Meng Ling, Xiao Feng smiled and nodded slightly, saying: "Haitang Duoduo is a good name, and this Holy Son likes it very much. Since we are destined to be together, I will give you this nuclear spirit stone as a gift!"
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he took out a thumb-sized enriched uranium and handed it to Haitang Duoduo.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Holy Son!"
Although Haitang Duoduo had never seen enriched uranium before, she could feel the strong nuclear radiation emitted from it.
If Haitang Duoduo can absorb and refine the energy in it, she should be able to break through to the Grandmaster level.
Seeing this, Ku He's eyes flashed with envy, and at the same time he was happy for his beloved apprentice.
Judging from the energy fluctuations emitted by the nuclear spirit stone, it is a great tonic even for a Grandmaster like Ku He, at least it can save him decades of hard practice.
As expected of the Holy Son of the Temple, the gifts he casually gave were all priceless treasures that mortals could hardly imagine.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered people to prepare a dinner in the palace. Please follow us to the palace!"
After Ku He finished speaking, he made a "please" gesture to Xiao Feng and the others, and led everyone to the Beiqi Palace.
The Beiqi Palace is very different from the Qing Palace. It does not win by being large, but by being layered, and looks beautiful and quiet.
Led by Ku He and the others, everyone walked through the corridor, passed by the flowing water beside the corridor, climbed the long steps, and finally came to the main hall of the Beiqi Palace.
The imperial guards in front of the palace stood with swords in hand, their faces firm, and the aura fluctuations emanating from their bodies reached the level of a seventh-grade warrior.
The eunuch chief steward who was waiting at the door saw this, shook the whisk in his hand lightly, and shouted in a duck voice: "His Royal Highness the Holy Son is here!"
As the eunuch chief steward's voice sounded, the heavy main hall door slowly opened, showing the luxuriously decorated main hall interior in front of everyone.
The main hall of the Daqi Palace was extremely spacious, and between the double eaves above, there were all expensive glass windows inlaid, which brought all the sunlight into the inner hall, blowing away the gloomy smell that often existed in the palace.
Dozens of thick columns stood on both sides of the palace, all of which were pitch black, and painted with golden lacquer on them with a picture of a dragon entering the clouds.
Behind the columns were layers of curtains, and people's figures could be seen swaying faintly.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the straight road connecting the main hall door.
The entire straight road was paved with green jade and covered with a thick blanket. There were two pools on both sides of the straight road.
The water in the pool was extremely clear, and there were goldfish of excellent quality in the water, shaking their beautiful big tails and swimming slowly in the water.
After crossing the long road, it was the court of the Northern Qi ministers. In front of it was a high platform with a golden dragon throne on it.
Sitting on the dragon throne was a young figure, the little emperor of the Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou, who was only seventeen years old and had only been in power for two years.
Xiao Feng, who had read the original novel, naturally knew that Zhan Doudou was actually a girl.
If it weren't for the fact that the previous emperor of the Northern Qi died early and had no son, she wouldn't have to dress up as a man to inherit the throne.
Just as Zhan Doudou looked at Xiao Feng with curiosity, he said straight to the point: "I didn't expect that the little emperor of the Northern Qi would be a woman!"
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
The faces of the people present suddenly changed when they heard this.
Although many ministers had guessed that Zhan Doudou was a woman in male disguise, no one dared to expose the secret in public because of Ku He's pressure.
"Your Highness the Holy Son is indeed a discerning person."
Just as the entire court fell into silence, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind the pearl curtain behind the dragon throne, followed by a noble lady in a gorgeous phoenix robe who walked out from behind the pearl curtain.
The beautiful noble lady, who looked to be about 30 years old, was the real ruler of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou's biological mother, the current Queen Mother of Northern Qi.
"The late emperor died early, leaving us an orphan and a widow. In order to maintain the stability of Northern Qi, this palace can only resort to this last resort. I'm sorry to make Your Highness the Holy Son laugh."
The reason why the Queen Mother of Northern Qi publicly admitted that Zhan Doudou was a woman was because Ku He could no longer protect them.
Although Nan Qing announced to the public that Emperor Qing died of a sudden illness, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emperor Qing's death was closely related to Xiao Feng. Who made him the biggest beneficiary?
Although the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not know the secret that Emperor Qing was the Grand Master, she could guess that Emperor Qing must be protected by a Grand Master.
Since Xiao Feng was able to kill Emperor Qing under the protection of the Grand Master and become the real leader of Nanqing, it would naturally be easy to kill Zhan Doudou and the others under the protection of Ku He.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty was already ready to surrender to Xiao Feng.
"The Empress Dowager was joking. Although it is rare for a woman to become an emperor, I have seen many of them, so naturally I will not look down on you because of this."
Xiao Feng was halfway through his words, and then changed the topic: "It's a pity that ordinary people are so prejudiced against women, and they may not be willing to submit to a woman.
This Holy Son really does not want to cause chaos in the Northern Qi Dynasty and increase his karma due to a momentary blunder.
Now that the matter has come to this, please ask the Queen Mother to betroth the empress to this holy son!
When the time comes, this Holy Son will prepare a generous betrothal gift for the empress, and will arrange for ten great masters to act as bodyguards for her, which will be enough to ensure that the Northern Qi Dynasty will be forever strong. "
"..."
When the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty heard this, her face changed slightly, and then she forced a smile and said, "That's great!"
