Chapter 67 Before the Accession
After giving her instructions, Huangfu Sixuan returned to her palace.
At this moment, Murong Yishuang was idly lying on the table, fiddling with a cup.
Huangfu Sixuan silently appeared behind her, covered his eyes with her hands, and used her spiritual power to change her voice, saying, "Guess who I am!"
"Sister Huangfu, stop fooling around, I know it's you!"
Murong Yishuang's voice came through.
Huangfu Sixuan awkwardly withdrew her hand, sat down opposite her, and teased, "What's wrong! My little Shuangshuang, why do you look so gloomy!"
"Sister Huangfu, the imperial palace of your Huangfu Dynasty is so boring! You're always busy with state affairs, and there's no one to talk to me!"
Murong Yishuang raised her head. She was no longer wearing a veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, but her face was full of dejection.
"That was my oversight!"
Upon hearing Murong Yishuang's words, Huangfu Sixuan also realized the problem.
As Murong Yishuang's friend and a distinguished guest of the Huangfu Emperor's court, the palace maids naturally dared not interact with her casually due to the difference in their status.
This resulted in her having no one in the imperial palace besides Huangfu Sixuan with whom she could play together.
However, she also had to handle government affairs and cultivate, so she didn't have much time to spend with Murong Yishuang.
This led to the current situation.
A bitter look appeared on Huangfu Sixuan's face. Upon reflection, she realized that she herself was no different.
As the emperor of the Huangfu Dynasty, the entire burden of the dynasty rests on her shoulders, often making it hard for her to breathe.
I dare not slack off in the slightest, for fear that even a small mistake of mine might cause irreparable damage.
In the end, she's just a young girl who's a few hundred years old!
They need care too!
"I just found a fun place to go, would you like to go?"
At this moment, Huangfu Sixuan suddenly thought of something and said with a mysterious smile.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Upon hearing his words, Murong Yishuang immediately responded excitedly.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle when she heard about something fun.
Seeing this, Huangfu Sixuan smiled helplessly; she had been feeling really stifled these past few days.
She knew Murong Yishuang's personality. In front of outsiders, he was aloof and detached from the world, an ethereal being who didn't care about worldly affairs.
But those who know her well know that it was all an act.
In front of people she truly knows, her free-spirited nature is completely different from the fairy-like image outsiders perceive.
Then, Huangfu Sixuan leaned close to Murong Yishuang's ear and whispered something.
..................
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the entire Qin Dynasty was in a state of great activity, because it was the day the new emperor ascended the throne.
A joyful atmosphere permeated the entire Qin Dynasty.
Thanks to Ying Chen's previous efforts to build momentum, his prestige in the Qin Dynasty is now at an all-time high.
Therefore, his ascension to the throne was undoubtedly a great joy for the people of Qin.
The atmosphere of joy was most intense in the imperial capital, located at the heart of the Qin Dynasty.
The streets were packed with people.
News spread through the palace that a portion of the common people would be randomly selected to attend the ceremony upon the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
Therefore, at this time, everyone rushed to the capital, hoping to be selected. Even if they were not selected, it would be good to be able to experience the atmosphere of the new emperor's ascension to the throne outside the capital.
On the streets, Qin soldiers could be seen everywhere maintaining order.
In the palace.
At this time, a platform 999 zhang high had been erected in the square in front of the main hall of the palace.
This high platform stands tall in the square, reaching straight into the sky.
The end is as far as the eye can see.
If this were in Ying Chen's previous life, it would be equivalent to 3,300 meters!
On the square, civil and military officials were already in place, and tens of thousands of troops were guarding the square.
The next step was for the envoys from various dynasties to enter.
The Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince stood in the square, all dressed in python robes, a symbol of princehood.
That's right, Ying Chen has already made them kings.
However, they were not given real power or fiefdoms; they were merely idle princes...
Furthermore, they were all being monitored by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, though they themselves were unaware of it.
At this moment, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince exchanged a glance and both noticed the unusual look in each other's eyes.
However, they made no fuss and continued to stand there as if nothing had happened.
The time came to noon.
Xun Yu walked out of the court.
He channeled his spiritual power and shouted, "The time has come! Welcome the envoys from all dynasties!"
Boom~~
His words trailed off.
The palace gates were flung open with a bang.
One group of envoys after another entered in an orderly fashion.
"The Qingfeng Dynasty is pleased to congratulate the new emperor of the Great Qin on his ascension to the throne. We have prepared a congratulatory gift consisting of one Earth-rank magic weapon, ten Profound-rank magic weapons, and one hundred pills of each rank!"
"The Great Yin Dynasty is celebrating the ascension of the new emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty and has prepared a gift of one fourth-tier demonic beast and ten third-tier demonic beasts!"
"The Great Qian Dynasty..."
One imperial procession after another entered from outside.
Each time someone enters, someone reads out their gift list.
Soon, they arrived at the last one, which was also the most powerful force among those who came to offer their congratulations: the Huangfu Dynasty.
At the same time, it was also the suzerain state of these dynasties.
Soon, a group of more than twenty people walked in from outside.
The leader was a woman with a full head of white hair, wearing a blue robe, and with a cold and elegant demeanor; she looked to be no more than twenty years old.
However, her exact age is unknown.
Behind her was a woman wearing a white veil and a girl in a white dress. Like the white-haired woman, she exuded a cold and beautiful aura.
The moment the group walked in.
Those who were originally seated from the imperial court all stood up on their own and bowed respectfully.
"Emperor Huangfu pays homage to the new emperor of Great Qin on his ascension to the throne and is preparing congratulatory gifts..."
The eunuch who was reading the gift list stared wide-eyed at the list of congratulatory gifts, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Fortunately, another eunuch next to him nudged him and he realized what was happening, so he quickly continued reading.
"The imperial gifts from Emperor Huangfu include a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, a Heaven-rank magic weapon, a Heaven-rank elixir, and 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
The eunuch's voice was noticeably louder than before, and his excitement was also evident.
His words trailed off.
The entire square instantly became noisy, with everyone whispering among themselves.
They were clearly taken aback by the grand gesture of the Huangfu Dynasty!
As expected of an imperial dynasty, they are much more generous than those other dynasties.
The crown prince, who was on the side of the Qin subjects, clenched his fists tightly when he heard the eunuch read out the list of gifts.
These should have been his, but now they all belong to Ying Chen.
The congratulatory gifts from Emperor Huangfu were, in particular, incredibly luxurious.
There wasn't a single Heavenly Rank cultivation technique or Heavenly Rank magic weapon in the Qin Dynasty's imperial treasury.
However, Emperor Huangfu only used it as a gift.
Thinking of this, the resentment in the crown prince's eyes intensified.
Then, he turned his gaze toward the Blood Barbarian Dynasty.
