Traveling through the infinite wasteland

Ye Qingyuan had no choice but to leave the palace and saw Shuangyan and a group of palace maids and guards waiting outside.

"Your Majesty, you have just walked out," she said with a smile, "Concubine Yun has been waiting for you! Even if you don't plan to pass, you should give me a sure word!"

"Well... something happened, so I was delayed!" Ye Qingyuan said guiltily, "I'll leave soon!"

In Jinluan Palace.

After Yun Xun'er and the two girls took a bath, they dressed up carefully and changed into a pair of gauze nightgowns. Then they sat in the outer hall eating snacks and chatting. Unexpectedly, most of the night had passed, and there was still no trace of His Majesty. Both girls were Somewhat drowsy!

"Sister Xun'er, that guy is real. Even if he comes, he should still send a message! You're making me wait here stupidly!" Su Lili squinted and leaned against Yun Xun'er, complaining with some dissatisfaction:

"Your Majesty really has something important to do!" Yun Xun'er couldn't hold it any longer, so she had to say to her, "You go and rest first, and I'll send someone to consult again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a female official from outside came in hurriedly to report: "Your Royal Highnesses, your Majesty has arrived!"

Yun Xun'er became energetic and hurriedly woke up Su Lili and stood up to greet her.

"I'm sorry, something really happened today, I kept you waiting for so long!" Ye Qingyuan entered the door, and when he saw the resentful looks in the two women's eyes, he hurriedly shouted.

Before Yun Xun'er said anything, Su Lili said angrily: "You made me wait for so long, why can't you reveal it in just one sentence? There is no sincerity at all!"

"Then...what do you think?" Ye Qingyuan asked with a smile.

"The next three days... no, it's a week! You have to come over and wait with me!" Su Lili came over and hugged his neck.

"This..." Ye Qingyuan was planning to find an excuse to bargain, but unexpectedly, the girl stared at him for a few times and suddenly asked:

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you just finished handling government affairs not long ago? Why does your body smell like perfume...and your head is wet, as if...you took a bath not long ago!"

He was startled and said quickly: "I went to Leng Zhuo's place to discuss something with her, so..."

"Huh? But that's not right. I seem to remember that Sister Leng Zhuo doesn't seem to be wearing this kind of perfume. It seems to be..." She muttered incomprehensively.

"Hmm... Okay! Just one week, I promise you that!" Ye Qingyuan was afraid that she would continue talking, so he quickly interrupted:

"It's getting late, I'm going to take a rest!"

"That's good! You still have some conscience!" She said with satisfaction, secretly giving a victory sign to Yun Xun'er.

In late August, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been away at war for a year, finally returned to the DPRK.

When the camp arrived at the large base outside the void tunnel in the Tianhua star system, Queen Chen Yan, together with the princess, led the family leaders, civil servants and generals who stayed in the imperial capital to greet them. .

After the grand welcome ceremony, the palace passed through the void tunnel, and then flew to the military base near the third planet before settling down.

After Ye Qingyuan returned to the imperial palace, he immediately held a large court meeting in Juntian Hall, and all qualified courtiers went to see him!

After the brief but grand ceremony, it was time to reward the heroes on a large scale! All the soldiers who went on the expedition received corresponding gifts based on their merits!

This matter is a top priority. The soldiers risk their lives for the great cause of the empire. All they want is for their efforts and contributions to be recognized by the imperial government and receive corresponding rewards!

As early as the days when the camp squadron returned to the court and were still on the road, Leng Zhuo's team of wise men had been busy with the assessment and evaluation of the soldiers' combat merits, and finally everything was discussed the day before arriving in the imperial capital space area. Then the imperial prime minister announced it in public in the hall.

The heads of the five major forces in the Hell Star Sea who directly surrendered to the empire were all granted the title of first-class duke. Like the three major families of the empire, they had territories in ten universe regions. The five major tycoon leaders of the former Xuanluo Federation were granted the title of third-class duke. Owns territory in five universe areas.

There is also another great race chief organized by the original Yanyue Commando: Gristov, who also received the title of third-class Duke, and his treatment is the same as that of the five major plutocrats!

Tian Xuanhao, Cameron, Ziyuan Lan and others were awarded the title of first-class marquis and the military rank of first-class general. They each obtained a fiefdom in a cosmic area, and received countless rewards such as crystal core property and real estate title deeds!

Fu Chengxiang, Hu Mu, Zhu Qing, Zhao Qingyang and others were awarded the title of third-class marquis, with the military rank of general, and their fiefs had several ecological planets, plus an absolute number of resource planets and other material rewards!

The remaining ministers have been promoted to varying degrees, either in terms of position, military rank, or title. The end result is that everyone is happy!

Although the empire has families with duke titles, together with the five venerables organized by the Cangling Commando, the total has reached nineteen families, but none of the Emperor's gang from the Dragon Ministers has been able to obtain this. Waiting for the title, no one would think that these dukes have much substantial influence on the imperial court!

The power of this huge empire is still in the hands of His Majesty and these close ministers! Despite their esteemed status, the dukes are unlikely to gain much power!

After the awarding ceremony, all the subsequent affairs were carried out according to the established procedures. Since the regime was on track and all arrangements were in order, there were no mistakes!

The celebration fireworks show was held in the huge square in front of the Imperial Palace. Almost all courtiers in the Imperial Capital and meritorious soldiers who went on expeditions could attend with their families.

Dozens of banquet tables have been set up on the rostrum. Ye Qingyuan is sitting in the center, with Chen Yan and the little princess beside him, as well as the Queen Mother and other girls in the harem.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the emperor and the prime minister stood up one after another and delivered brief speeches, and then the party officially began.

Magnificent and dazzling fireworks bloomed one after another in the dark night sky, decorating the entire sky with colorful colors, and the emotions of the participants were quickly aroused!

Ye Qingyuan and the other girls tasted all kinds of exquisite snacks and watched them with great interest. As the ruler of a small half of the star sea, such leisure time is running out. Because of this, he is particularly precious.

Yun Qixuan was restless by nature, and after staying in his arms for a while, she couldn't sit still and ran away to have some fun. Chen Yan quickly ordered several palace maids and guards to follow her carefully.

"This palace was quite deserted when you were away," his mother said to him and the girls with a smile, "You should have a relaxing time after you come back, right?"

"Of course, the empire will not have any major military operations for the time being! So we won't leave!" Ye Qingyuan said with a smile.

"If you, Queen Mother, like the excitement, you might as well come with me when you go on an expedition next time!" Su Lili said obediently, "Anyway, the palace is spacious enough, it is no different from the emperor, and the safety is guaranteed! Just leave. It’s good to travel around for a while!”

"Let's expose it for now! You are going to fight. How can an emperor take his family with him when he goes to war?" Mother smiled and tickled the corners of her eyes.

Although Su Lili and Yun Xun'er also went on the expedition with His Majesty, they all had formal military establishments and could go to war at any time when necessary, so no one would say anything. If she followed, it would become a joke among the stars. Got it!

The mother looked at the flat abdomens of the girls and sighed softly: "Actually, if there were more people in the family, it wouldn't be so deserted!"

Ye Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "Mother, we still have room here, why not ask Zixia to come over and talk to you!"

"Yeah! So good!" Mother nodded gently and turned back to call Zhong Zixia.

The Imperial Prime Minister was sitting at the same table as Tian Xuanhao, Tongshan and the others, not far apart. After hearing this, he immediately got up and walked over.

However, he was accompanied by two elegantly dressed women with graceful figures and beautiful looks.

"I have met His Majesty!" The two women came to him and bowed in unison.

"These two are..." Ye Qingyuan asked uncertainly, already knowing some of the reasons in his heart.

The two women looked very similar. The older one was holding a chubby baby in her arms, and the other's belly was slightly bulging. It was obvious that she was pregnant.

The mother smiled and introduced: "These two are your sisters-in-law. Not long after you left, Zixia married into the family. Now my sister's child is almost three months old! My sister will also be a mother in a short time. I heard that she is still a mother. What a young man!”

Ye Qingyuan stared at Zhong Zixia for a long time, thinking that this guy's luck must be too good! I didn’t expect it to blossom and bear fruit so quickly. It’s really...envious!

"Okay, let's all sit down and talk!" the mother greeted them, then gently took the baby over, held it in her arms and teased it lovingly.

"You guys can do it! There are two of them at once, your luck is really..." Ye Qingyuan held a wine glass and whispered to him.

He said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect that either! However, they are all ordinary people. Although they have undergone fifth-level DNA awakening, they have not activated their superpowers, so the probability of pregnancy is higher!"

These two women are a pair of sisters. The elder sister is called Zhao Yingqi and the younger sister is Zhao Waqin. Their father is a middle-level official in a higher education institution in the imperial capital. Their family is relatively well-off and their education is good. The Prime Minister met and got to know him accidentally when he was out on an inspection tour.

To be able to attract the attention of the Prime Minister of the Empire and allow the mediator to marry him, to them, is no different than pie in the sky, or the kind of pure gold with diamonds! And the two women’s bellies were really good, and they got the good news not long after they walked in! It is the Queen Mother who is particularly satisfied with these two daughters-in-law!

"Look at it, how interesting this child is!" The mother handed the baby into his hands.

He hugged him a little awkwardly, and the young man leaned in his arms, staring at him with his dark eyes, and grabbed his clothes with his soft little hands, showing no signs of acknowledgment!

Seeing His Majesty's smiling face towards the child, Luo Qingyue's face couldn't help but darken. She looked at the other women, who all had relatively speechless expressions, and sighed with melancholy in her heart.

Your Majesty's cultivation level is getting higher and higher, and it is estimated that giving birth to another heir is already an almost impossible extravagance! However, the royal bloodline is weak. In the long run, this is a fatal risk that can endanger the existence of the imperial regime! Nowadays, the situation in Xinghai is dangerous. If something unexpected happens to the only heir, the final result... She no longer dares to predict the situation!

Chen Yan's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled softly and said: "Queen Mother, actually this problem is not difficult to solve. You ask Your Majesty to find you a few more wives, so that you can sow and reap little! One day you will get what you want, right?"

"Well, this... is almost a solution." Mother pondered and looked at Ye Qingyuan.

He frowned slightly, glanced at the queen with some displeasure, looked back and asked with a smile: "Zixia, does this child have a name?"

"It's less than a hundred days old, so I haven't had time to name it!" Zhong Zixia responded, "Or are you trying to figure out a name for your niece?"

Ye Qingyuan shrugged and said: "Then let's call her Zhong Yinxue! When we meet for the first time, my uncle can't be stingy anymore, so I will call her..."

After thinking for a moment, he already made a decision in his heart. He said to Shuang Yan next to him: "Go and invite Duke Yuntianque!"

The Duke's seat is also very close to each other, so he will be in front of him in a matter of minutes.

"I don't know what your Majesty's order is?" he asked respectfully.

Ye Qingyuan said: "The Prime Minister of the Empire handles central secrets, is diligent in national affairs, and is my brother and sister. Therefore, I have decided to make Zhong Zixia the Prince of Daomang Empire, hereditary and irreplaceable! How do you feel?"

The girls couldn't help but be horrified. They didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly announce such an important decision!

To this day, the Daomang Empire has not yet awarded a prince. Now the emperor has given this first honor to his younger brother. What does this mean?

Chen Yan moved her lips, trying to figure out what to say. She looked at Yuntianque beside her and finally chose to remain silent.

Yun Tianque's face became serious. After thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "I will do as your Majesty said! I don't know. Is it a virtual seal or a real seal?"

A false title is just a title. Apart from a respected status and better material benefits, there are not many other benefits. If you don't hold a specific position in the court, you generally have no rights!

However, actual enfeoffment is different. If you enfeoff a king, you must enfeoff a country, and the corresponding rights will be many more! It was just like the princely title held by the heads of the eight great families back then.

Ye Qingyuan said calmly: "The imperial knighthood has always been worthy of its name. Each grade of title has its corresponding fiefdom, and the king's title is no exception!"

"So, how big is the area of ​​the feudal country? Where is it?" Yuntianque asked again.

"Place? Just in the rich cosmic area in the eastern part of the empire! But as for the area, let's set it as the fifty cosmic area!" Ye Qingyuan said.

"Your Majesty," Chen Yan finally couldn't help but say, "This matter is of great importance, shouldn't it...be decided after a public discussion among the ministers?"

Ye Qingyuan ignored her, looked at Yun Tianque, and asked calmly: "Yun Qing, why did you say that?"

"I have no objection!" Yuntianque said simply and authentically.

"Then let's just settle it! According to past practice, the prince's daughter can be given the title of princess. I will make an exception today and make her a princess!" Ye Qingyuan said lightly.

Yuntianque sighed secretly in his heart, but responded: "Very good! I will immediately order people to prepare! The canonization ceremony can be officially held tomorrow!"
