What bad intentions can a temple blessing have?

Chapter 500: If you don’t want it, I’ll give it to you!
The Seventh Princess looked at the man who was bowing in front of her.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "I haven't seen you for six hundred years, and you haven't changed at all."

Jiang Qi raised his eyes and smiled, "My aunt has changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize her."

He looked at the woman in front of him, whose eyes and brows still showed the appearance of the Seventh Princess in his memory.

But he was much taller and not much shorter than Jiang Qi.

The baby fat on her face has long disappeared, replaced by unparalleled beauty.

If we say that the Seventh Princess in Jiang Qi's memory in the past was a carefree child.

Then, the Seventh Princess standing in front of Jiang Qi is a noble of the Emperor of Heaven who is capable of standing on her own.

"Are you tired?"

Jiang Qi couldn't help but whispered.

Immortals have long ceased to experience aging; appearance is simply a reflection of one’s mind.

The tall, mature, and imposing Seventh Princess looked dazzling, and even in the three realms of Gaia, everyone who saw her was amazed.

But Jiang Qi asked her if she was very tired.

The Seventh Princess was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look very tired?"

She asked back with a smile, but deep in her eyes there was a hint of hidden grievance.

"It's the junior who is rude."

Jiang Qi smiled and changed the subject. He raised his hand and stepped aside to guide: "Your Highness, please board the chariot and enter Lingxiao."

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

The Seventh Princess nodded, took light steps, and walked into the chariot.

Jiang Qi looked at the general driving the car and said, "Get off."

"Immortal Lord?"

The general was stunned for a moment, but saw Jiang Qi standing in his seat, and hurriedly said: "My Lord, it is against the rules for you to drive the chariot yourself!"

He said anxiously, "This is too humiliating for you!"

"The person sitting in the chariot is me, the new Heavenly Emperor of the Three Realms. How can it be considered an insult if I drive the chariot?"

Jiang Qi smiled and shook his head.

The immortals and gods present watched this scene quietly.

The most famous being in the Three Realms today, the Golden Immortal who protects the Three Religions, the Crown Prince of the Human Race, the Immortal Lord of Justice who acts on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, the Great Luo Divine Power...

He actually drove the car himself to welcome the Seventh Princess to Lingxiao.

This attitude surprised many immortals and gods.

Did this immortal king really give up the highest power in the outside world so easily?

Before this, some people even speculated that the reason why the Immortal King went to look for the Seventh Princess with such fanfare was just to shut the mouths of the Three Realms.

To give him more time to gather power...

After all, that is the throne of the Emperor of Heaven!

Acting on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, he is also the Emperor of Heaven!

Faced with the temptation of supreme power, there are actually people who would not try to remove the word "acting on behalf of"!
Instead, he gave up his seat so easily and simply...

Although most of the immortals and gods knew very well that this position originally belonged to the Seventh Princess, they knew even more clearly that the great gods in heaven would return sooner or later.

Those great gods also recognized the Seventh Princess.

But still the same sentence.

As long as you sit in that position, no one would not want to fight for it.

But now they saw it with their own eyes.

Jiang Qi, I really don’t want to fight.

A huge team surrounded the palanquin and traveled all the way to Lingxiao Palace.

When they arrived in front of Lingxiao Palace, the seventh princess got off the palanquin.

Under the gaze of many immortals and gods, the Seventh Princess slowly walked into the Lingxiao Palace, climbed up step by step, and walked onto the cloud platform step by step.

Finally, he stopped in front of the Nine Treasures Throne surrounded by countless brilliant lights on the nine-layered cloud platform.

She looked at the throne that symbolized the Emperor of Heaven, slowly turned around and lowered her head.

Beneath the cloud platform, there are countless immortals and gods, all of whom bow their heads, waiting for the return of the new Emperor of Heaven.

There is only one person.

Only Jiang Qi raised his head and looked at the Seventh Princess with a smile on his face, as if to encourage her.

However, the Seventh Princess saw a hint of pity in the depths of those eyes.

She pursed her lips and sat on the throne that symbolized the master of the three realms.

"Buzz!"

The Heavenly Emperor Seal spontaneously emerged and hovered in front of the Seventh Princess.

A ray of brilliant light flew out from the Heavenly Emperor's Seal and landed on the Seventh Princess, transforming into the Heavenly Emperor's robe.

An imperial crown with eighteen tassels also appeared on the head of the seventh princess.

"The Emperor of Heaven returns to his throne!"

Jiang Qi stepped out from the crowd, turned around, looked at the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Gods, bow!"

After saying that, he turned around and was the first to bow.

"Your Majesty, I, the Justice Immortal Lord Jiang Qi, kowtow to your majesty!"

After saying that, he was about to lift up his robe and bow, but... "Wait."

The Seventh Princess raised her hand to stop him, saying, "I have an order: Jiang Qi, the Immortal Lord Jiang, you can see that the emperor does not bow."

When these words were spoken, all the gods were stunned.

No one expected that the first order issued by the Seventh Princess, the new Heavenly Emperor, would be so simple and direct...

All the immortals and gods couldn't help but look at Jiang Qi.

The new Heavenly Emperor's first decree was used on Immortal Lord Jiang in this way.

What an honor is this?
Jiang Qi was also stunned for a moment, and then he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness!"

"May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life with boundless blessings and virtues!"

At this time, the gods came to their senses and bowed down.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life with boundless blessings and virtues!"

All the gods were bowing down, but the seventh princess' eyes were only on the tall and graceful person.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the gods stood up, an immortal god came out.

"I, Li Qingyuan, the Deputy Minister of the Tianshu Yuan, report to Your Majesty."

"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne for the first time, the most urgent task is to order the officials to prepare for the grand ceremony and give Your Majesty a proper title, so that it can be announced to the three realms!"

The Seventh Princess sat on the Nine Treasures and said, "Now the Three Realms are in chaos and there is a lot to be done. We should keep things simple and don't need to mention this matter anymore."

"All the nobles should stay in their positions and follow the arrangements made by Jiang Xianjun in the past. Do not make any changes without authorization."

"The most urgent matter is not my personal affairs, but the stability of the three realms."

"As long as the three realms are stable, it will be the best ceremony for my coronation."

Upon hearing this, the gods hurriedly bowed and responded.

Everyone was more and more surprised.

According to the new Heavenly Emperor, she was not going to change anything and would follow Jiang Qi's arrangement when he was acting as the Heavenly Emperor...

Isn't this too much trust?

Just as the gods were surprised, the empress on the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform spoke again.

"Pass on my decree that the Sixth Princess Zhang Tianqing has usurped the throne, committed treason and is guilty of an unforgivable crime."

"Of course, I will take my father's bloodline and the sister's affection into consideration and will be lenient with him."

"Strip her of her Heavenly Immortal Status, strip her of her Princess title, and confine her to the Tianqin Palace, never to leave."

The verdict on Zhang Tianqing was justified, and the gods naturally had no objection.

"Your Majesty's benevolence is a blessing to the three realms!"

After praising in unison, everyone thought that specific arrangements would be made, but who would have thought that the first thing the empress said was that familiar name.

"Jiang Qi."

"The minister is here."

Jiang Qi stood out from the crowd.

The empress just raised her hand, and the seal of the Emperor of Heaven shone brightly.

"I decree that Jiang Qi be promoted to the first-rank god, and continue to be in charge of the Judicial Palace. In addition, he will take charge of the Five Directions Xuanhe Zhenfu on behalf of his master Yang Jian."

Having said this, the Seventh Princess paused for a moment. Jiang Qi was just about to express his gratitude, but he didn't expect there would be more to come.

The Seventh Princess had a teasing smile on her face and continued, "Now, all the generals in my Heavenly Court are not in their positions, so I order Jiang Qi to take over the Heavenly Court's military power."

"All the troops of the Heavenly Court, whether it is thunder, fire, plague, or the stars in the Milky Way, are under the control of Jiang Qi."

"I am granted leave to wear a sword in Lingxiao Palace and not to kneel before the emperor."

After this arrangement, not only the gods were stunned, but Jiang Qi himself was also stunned.

The Seventh Princess has handed over all military and judicial powers to Jiang Qi without reservation!

This is no longer a matter of trust or not, but handing over the entire Heavenly Court’s current assets to Jiang Qi!

To put it nicely, it's called boldness. To put it bluntly...

Should such a minister who holds so much power really appear?
Is our new empress a little stupid?
The Seventh Princess doesn't care what the gods think.

She looked through the crown and looked at Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was seen standing there with a dazed look on his face, and he looked at a loss as to what to do.

The Seventh Princess could see the deep-seated resistance of her nephew.

Hey.

If you want to be a boss who waves his hands, you are so beautiful!
The Seventh Princess pretended to be dignified and said, "Jiang Qi, why don't you thank me?"

"My lord, thank you for your kindness."

Jiang Qi came back to his senses and bowed helplessly.

Does this count as shirking one's responsibilities for nothing?
"The rest of the nobles should return to their positions. Jiang Qi will stay. I have other instructions."

As the empress spoke, the gods took their leave and dispersed.

For a moment, only Jiang Qi and the Seventh Princess were left in Lingxiao Palace.
