The genius queen, here we come!

Chapter 422 Is This the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom?
At Xu time, it was already night.

After nightfall, star dots have faintly appeared in the mid-air.The moonlight is charming and soft, covering all parts of the palace, adding a softness to tonight's night.

Yige, located in the southeast corner of the imperial garden of the harem, is a relatively large attic with exquisite and elegant structure, and it is built in the middle of the largest lake in the harem.

I saw a curved wooden bridge extending from the shore of the lake to the attic.

The attic is very wide, like a big stage, with large red lanterns hung high on the eaves on all sides, and a series of colorful lanterns are hung everywhere in other pavilions.

Among the palaces in the Lunhou Palace, the Yugui Palace is the most stunning, but the Lun Pavilion and the Yi Pavilion are several times better.

In the attic, there is a larger stage, which stands in the middle, is round, and is one section higher than the one on the side.There is a wall that blocks the back pavilion, while other places are all seats for viewing.

Colorful silks and satins are intertwined into a flower ball, hanging above the attic, making the empty attic look more beautiful and festive.

Ventilated on all sides, the air is exceptionally fresh and beautiful.

The vicinity of the Art Pavilion is full of mountains, rivers and forests, and the palace can only be seen after a long walk.Yige is built on the Qinghu Lake between the only two hills in the harem.

At this time, the Art Pavilion is already a brightly lit place.

Because of the concubine's competition tonight, the Art Pavilion has been cleaned up.After cleaning up, the Art Pavilion is like a girl with no makeup on, it has become extraordinarily enchanting, charming and bright.

Just like the Queen Mother's feast in the fairyland, all the immortals sit around the viewing platform next to the attic, where tables have been set up, with fine wines and fresh fruits on the table.

At this time, although the people sitting by the viewing platform were not the immortals of the Tiangong, they were high-ranking ministers of the imperial court, accompanied by their family members.

Yu Shengjun's mother and son, in order to solve all the matters in the harem in one fell swoop.Therefore, the relatives of the concubines have all been invited into the palace, and they have all found their seats to sit down at this moment.Tonight's match is only fair under the witness of the concubines and their families. No matter who the queen is, Yu Shengjun predicts that no one will have an opinion.Then, after the lost concubine is arranged to leave the palace, no one will think that the royal family is too ruthless.

At the same time, for the sake of the safety of tonight's game, Yu Shengjun has already ordered Zhang Xiangyang to put aside the relocation affairs for the time being and take full responsibility for the safety of the Art Pavilion.

At this time, quite a few guards had arrived at Yige, some were in charge of the security in the attic, and some were in charge of the security around Qinghu Lake.

Responsible for the security in the attic, there are several guards, all of whom Tang Lin is familiar with.Youfeng, An Leng, Fu Yushu, Shao Qi, Xiao Xiong and others.At this moment, everyone kept a distance, wandering in the attic far away from the cabinet, always on guard for any danger approaching.

The guards responsible for the security of the area around Qinghu Lake were those guards that Tang Lin didn't know.

For tonight's game, the empress dowager did not restrict the eunuchs and maids in the harem from participating, but they could not enter the cabinet and could only watch from outside the attic.

At this time, except for the eunuchs patrolling the harem, almost all the eunuchs and court ladies from all palaces and courts came outside the attic in advance, just to watch tonight's game.

The eunuchs and court ladies leaned outside the attic, pointing to the dancers who were dancing on the cabinet stage, the scene was unusually lively.Discussions followed one after another.

But at this moment, the emperor and the empress dowager have not yet arrived, and the ministers and their families sitting on the viewing platform of the cabinet are very cautious.

With the sound of "The Empress Dowager is here---", immediately, all the eunuchs, court ladies, and guards outside the attic looked at the curved wooden bridge in front of them.

The cabinet officials and their families have all stood up and looked outside.

The moonlight is charming and the stars are shining.

A group of eunuchs and maids followed the empress dowager with palace lanterns and headed towards the attic.Although the formation was not very long, the empress dowager came here in full dress, overwhelming the discussion on the Yige for a moment.As soon as she appeared, everyone inside and outside the Art Pavilion fell silent.All eyes were on her.

She is like the biggest star in the sky at the moment, its light dazzles everyone's eyes.The powerful aura cannot be ignored.

After walking across the wooden bridge, the Empress Dowager stepped onto the red carpet embroidered with mandarin ducks in the attic, dressed in noble and luxurious clothes, with a phoenix crown and hijab, her red lips were pursed, and her eyes turned.

At some point, Cao Dan stood beside Yifeng, "Deputy Commander, is this the empress dowager of our Great Yu Kingdom? Are you sure you're not the master's sister?"

Yifeng turned his head and glared at him, "That's the Empress Dowager, not the Eldest Princess, who is still far away. The Empress Dowager is young, it's the Empress Dowager's business, you are not allowed to comment!"

Cao Dan smiled stupidly, "I know I was wrong, the deputy commander, so I won't dare next time."

When Yifeng looked over again, the Empress Dowager had already stepped into the cabinet and walked along the passage of the cabinet to the viewing platform at the south corner of the stage.

There are Phoenix Seats and Dragon Chairs, as well as wide and long tables.On the table, fine wine and fruit snacks, as well as golden wine cups and top-quality tea sets from the south are all placed.

The empress dowager walked around the edge of the table and flicked the corner of her golden robe, and her aura immediately reached its peak.

Immediately, all the ministers and their families, as well as the eunuchs, maids, guards, and imperial guards outside the pavilion all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

After the empress dowager glanced at Yige with her eyes, she raised her sleeves and folded her five fingers covered with slender false nails of various colors, and said in a flat voice: "Everyone, please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After the grand thanks, everyone got up one after another.

The Empress Dowager was sitting down, and when the courtiers saw that she had sat down, they also sat down one after another.The eunuchs and maids outside the attic began to look around at this moment, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

The minister who was sitting closer to the empress dowager asked, "Empress dowager, excuse me for talking too much, why don't you see the emperor coming?"

"He, he will be here in a while!" The Empress Dowager replied kindly, with a smile that was easy to get close to. "Hou Aiqing, don't worry, it's only Xushi, and you will see your daughter soon!"

At this time, the courtier who was talking to the Empress Dowager was none other than the father of the Empress Dowager Empress Lingyu, a man who was over fifty years old but looked very healthy.

Sitting next to the adult behind him was a woman who seemed to be in her fifties. Although she was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, it was not difficult to see from her slack face that she was already old.

She is Hou Lingyu's mother - Hou Zhang.

The Empress smiled awkwardly, unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager could see through his thoughts.That's right, he was anxious to see his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time. "Let the queen mother laugh!"

The empress dowager returned a tolerant smile, and then looked at the other officials.Those sitting at the front of the stage were basically the family members of the concubines, and those sitting at the back were other ministers who had not gone to the North Border Kingdom with the Second Prince Yu Zichen to handle state affairs.

"The Second Princess is here—" At this moment, there was a solemn sound from outside.

Many people looked out.

Seeing Sun Bailing who accompanied Guan Eyun to the attic, and Lu Yitang who was standing not far away at the moment, a faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Sun Bailing took a peek at the attic where there were over a thousand people, but there were too many people, and she couldn't see Lu Yitang who was watching her from the corner.Helpless, she could only accompany Guan Eyun into the cabinet.

After a while, Guan Eyun stood in front of the empress dowager, and bowed gracefully: "Eyun sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

The Empress Dowager waved happily, "Come here, come here, Eyun, come and sit down quickly. It really exhausts you to come all the way from outside the palace! Come here and sit down!"

Guan Eyun saluted again, "Thank you, Empress Dowager!" He walked over and sat at the second seat at the table next to the Empress Dowager.

After Guan Eyun went to sit down, Sun Bailing walked up behind her, leaned into her ear and asked, "Princess, can Bailing go outside?"

"It's okay, you can go, you don't have to protect me until the performance tonight is over!" Guan Eyun said in a more reasonable way, but she actually wanted Sun Bailing to go out to find Lu Yitang.

Sun Bailing suppressed his excitement, "Xie Wangfei!" Then, he quickly walked out of the cabinet and disappeared into the crowd outside in an instant.

At this time, another high-pitched and clear voice sounded, "The emperor is here——"

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the wooden bridge not far away, looking forward to the emperor's arrival!
For the people in the harem, even if they died, they couldn't miss seeing the emperor tonight!That is the legendary emperor!In the hazy night, I saw a dazzling golden dress, breaking through the darkness and appearing beside the green lake.The moonlight sprinkled on it, coating it with a layer of mysterious, soft and holy light.

All the people at the attic looked over to the shore of the lake, watching closely, and vaguely saw a golden figure standing on the other end of the wooden bridge.

But no matter how good their eyesight was, no one could clearly see the face of the person standing at the other end of the wooden bridge at the moment.But it could be vaguely seen that the person was wearing a golden dragon robe, which seemed to be woven with gold threads, and as long as it encountered a trace of light, it would shine dazzlingly.

An Leng stood at the corner of the railing in the attic, and he followed the others to look out.His eyesight was exceptionally good, and he could see the emperor standing on the other side of the wooden bridge at a glance.

Tonight, Yu Shengjun is going out dressed up.Wearing a dragon robe with wide sleeves and slender, half head of blue silk is crowned on the head, and a golden hairpin is inserted. The black silk on the back is like a waterfall vertically on the back, and a few strands fall on the sides of the chest.On the face, there is a golden mask, which only covers the parts around the eyes, the forehead, and the lower half of the face, fully exposed.The exquisite mask, with the uncanny facial features, fit perfectly.

His lips, which were as thin as cicada's wings, hooked slightly, outlining a beautiful and charming lip line. The black belly and evil hidden in the corners of his lips flew wantonly between the corners of his lips.The deep and quiet eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, everything in the world was inferior.

Lifting his front foot, Yu Shengjun stepped on the first section of the wooden bridge, and when he retracted his back foot, his domineering gaze, up and down the Art Pavilion, was in his eyes.

Along the way on both sides of the wooden bridge, there was a guard standing at a distance.

Yu Shengjun stepped forward, stepped across the wooden bridge, and walked to the attic step by step, letting thousands of pairs of amazed eyes fall on him.

Every time he passed by a guard, the expressions of those guards darkened.The master is the master, and he is indeed not an ordinary person. When he appeared on the stage, he shocked everyone.

Zhang Xiangyang and An Lin followed closely behind.

When Yu Shengjun approached the attic step by step, the eunuchs and maids who were waiting at the end of the wooden bridge did not need the guards and imperial guards to come up to distract them, they automatically retreated several steps away.It wasn't that they wanted to retreat, but that Yu Shengjun didn't allow people to get close to his aura and forced them to retreat.

Soon, Yu Shengjun stepped on the floor of the attic.Turning his eyes, the person who had already retreated not far in fright took a few steps back.

Although they couldn't see the real face of the emperor, they had no regrets. At least they could prove one thing. It was indeed the legendary emperor. Once he appeared on the stage, his aura was intimidating.

Sun Bailing had already found Lu Yitang, and he was standing behind the crowd with Fu Yushu and others. It was because they were taller than the crowd in front that they could clearly see where Yu Shengjun was standing at the moment.
