Chapter 288: The Empress of Northern Qi (First update, please vote)
Xiao Feng's gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on the girl who was dressed like a village girl.

The girl's appearance was not particularly outstanding, but her eyes were exceptionally bright, shining like stars.

Judging from the nuclear radiation fluctuations emanating from the girl, her strength should have reached the upper ninth level.

The only one who can possess such strength at such a young age must be the famous Northern Qi Saint Haitang Duoduo.

Haitang Duoduo is Ku He's direct disciple. Because of her high talent in cultivation and the possibility that she will become the second grandmaster of Northern Qi, Ku He dotes on her very much.

At this time, Haitang Duoduo was also looking at Xiao Feng and Ye Qingmei curiously.

After all, when Haitang Duoduo was practicing martial arts with Ku He, she heard him mention the name Ye Qingmei many times.

After meeting Haitang Duoduo's gaze, Xiao Feng suddenly pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"My humble daughter Haitang Duoduo greets His Royal Highness the Saint Son."

At Ku He's eye signal, Haitang Duoduo hurriedly walked out of the crowd and bowed respectfully to Xiao Feng.

"Last night it was rainy and windy, and I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep. I tried to ask the people behind the curtain, but the crabapples were still the same. Do you know, do you know? They should be green, fat, red and thin."

After reciting Li Qingzhao's Ru Meng Ling, Xiao Feng smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Haitang Duoduo is a good name. This Saint Son likes it very much. Since we are destined to meet, I will give you this nuclear spirit stone as a meeting gift!"

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he took out a thumb-sized piece of enriched uranium and handed it to Haitang Duoduo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty 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.

When Ku He saw this, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and he was also happy for his beloved disciple.

Judging from the energy fluctuations emitted by the nuclear spirit stone, it is a great tonic even for a great master like Ku He. At least it can save him decades of hard training.

As expected of the Holy Son of the Temple, the gifts he bestowed upon us were all priceless treasures that were unimaginable to mortals.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has already 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 Northern Qi Imperial Palace.

The Northern Qi Imperial Palace is very different from the Qing Imperial Palace. It does not win by its vastness, but rather by its layers of overlapping levels, which makes it look beautiful and quiet.

Led by Ku He and others, they walked along the long corridor, passed by the flowing water beside the corridor, climbed the long steps, and finally arrived at the main hall of the Northern Qi Imperial Palace.

The imperial guards stood in front of the palace, holding swords with resolute expressions. The aura fluctuations emanating from their bodies were at 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 hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness the Holy Son has arrived!"

As the eunuch chief's voice sounded, the heavy door of the main hall slowly opened, revealing the luxuriously decorated interior of the main hall to everyone.

The main hall of the Da Qi Palace was extremely spacious, with expensive glass windows inlaid between the double eaves above. These windows brought all the sunlight into the inner hall, dispelling the usual gloomy atmosphere of the palace.

There are dozens of thick round columns standing on both sides of the palace. They are all pitch black and painted with gold lacquer with pictures of coiled dragons flying into the clouds.

Behind the column are layers of curtains, through which one can vaguely see a human figure swaying.

But the most eye-catching thing is the straight road connecting to the main hall gate. The whole straight road is paved with green jade and covered with a thick blanket. There are also two pools built on both sides of the straight road.

The water in the pond is extremely clear, and there are some excellent goldfish in the water, shaking their beautiful big tails and swimming slowly in the water.

After passing through the long corridor, it is where the ministers of Northern Qi hold court. Directly in front of them is a high platform with a golden dragon throne placed on it.

Sitting on the dragon throne was a young figure. He was none other than the young Northern Qi Emperor 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 the previous emperor of Northern Qi had not died early and had no son, she would not have had to disguise herself as a man to inherit the throne.

Just as Zhan Doudou was looking at Xiao Feng with curiosity, he said straight to the point: "I didn't expect that the little emperor of Northern Qi would be a woman!"

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

When everyone present heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

Although many ministers had guessed that Zhan Doudou was a woman disguised as a man, with Ku He in power, no one dared to expose this secret in public.

"Your Highness the Holy Son is indeed a man of great insight."

Just when the entire court fell into deathly silence, a clear voice suddenly rang out from behind the pearl curtain behind the dragon throne, followed by a noble lady in a gorgeous phoenix robe walking out from behind the pearl curtain.

The beautiful lady who looked to be about 30 years old was the real ruler of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou's biological mother, and the current Queen Mother of Northern Qi.

"The previous emperor passed away early, leaving us only an orphan and a widow. In order to maintain the stability of Northern Qi, I can only resort to this last resort. I'm sorry to make His Royal Highness the Saint laugh at me."

The reason why the Queen Mother of Northern Qi publicly admitted that Zhan Doudou was a girl was because Ku He could no longer protect them.

Although Nanqing announced to the public that Emperor Qing died of a sudden illness, any discerning person could see that Emperor Qing's death was closely related to Xiao Feng. After all, he was the biggest beneficiary.

Although the Queen Mother of Northern Qi did not know the secret that Emperor Qing was a grandmaster, she could guess that Emperor Qing must be protected by a grandmaster.

Since Xiao Feng was able to kill Emperor Qing under the protection of the Grand Master and become the real ruler of Nanqing, it would naturally be easy for him to kill Zhan Doudou and the others under the protection of Ku He.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was ready to submit to Xiao Feng.

"Your Highness, you are joking. Although it is rare for a woman to be an emperor, I have seen many of them, so I will not look down on you for this."

Xiao Feng said halfway, then changed the subject and said: "Unfortunately, ordinary people are prejudiced against women, they probably won't be willing to submit to a woman.

This holy son is truly unwilling to cause chaos in Northern Qi and increase his karma due to a slip of the tongue.

Now that things have come to this, please ask the Queen Dowager to betroth the Empress to this Holy Son!

At that time, this Saint Son will prepare a generous betrothal gift for the Empress, and will arrange ten Grand Masters to serve as her bodyguards, which will be enough to ensure the eternal stability of the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"..."

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi heard this and her expression changed slightly. Then she forced a smile and said, "That's great!"
