Not long after, Yun Zhiqiu arrived at the Celestial Hall. Qin Weiwei and the others arrived as well, following them to pay their respects to the Celestial Emperor.
When they saw Miao Yi again, they were no longer as relaxed as before. Their respective teachers had warned them, so when Qin Weiwei and the others paid their respects, they were more cautious and cautious than before.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, even though the girls were willing to be alone with Miao Yi, it would be inappropriate to say some private words in front of a group of people. Thus, they obediently excused themselves.
As for Qin Weiwei, Miao Yi used the excuse that he had matters regarding the small world to ask her about. After all, Qin Weiwei had always been overseeing the small world, so he left her alone.
Now that there were no outsiders, Miao Yi walked out from behind the table and stood before Qin Weiwei, smiling at her.
Qin Weiwei felt a little embarrassed from his stare, and wanted to rebuke him a little. However, before coming here, Yang Qing had transmitted a message to her, reminding her that the Celestial Emperor was the Celestial Emperor. This was a cruel fact, and she had to be mentally prepared to accept the reality of the Celestial Emperor's favor. She mustn't think that she could act presumptuously just because of their previous relationship. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She mustn't hurt herself.
As she thought of this, Qin Weiwei silently lowered her head, her heart filled with emotions. She recalled the first time the two of them met. That lowly soldier in Transient Light Cave refused to surrender, brandishing his spear and shouting, 'Miao Yi is here. Who dares to challenge me?' That scene was now gone forever. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the lowly soldier from back then would actually become the Celestial Emperor who dominated the starry skies!
Miao Yi reached out and lifted her chin. Their eyes met, and Qin Weiwei shyly called out, "Your Majesty!"
Miao Yi lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips. Qin Weiwei moaned and snuggled into his embrace. She lifted her head slightly, allowing him to do as he pleased.
After a while, they parted. Qin Weiwei's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were watery.
"Shall I look for you tonight?" Miao Yi teasingly asked.
Qin Weiwei replied with a soft 'Mm'. She heard from Yang Qing that Miao Yi was very busy now, and that there were some secrets that should not be revealed to others. He told her to be careful and avoid them. She took two steps back and half-knelt in greeting, saying, "Your Majesty is busy. I will take my leave first."
"It's nothing. It's been a long time. I've missed you. Just stay by my side." Miao Yi stepped forward and pulled her hand, leading her back to the table.
He sat down to handle his official duties, while Qin Weiwei's eyes flickered with excitement as she poured tea beside him. She served him carefully and attentively. The high and mighty queen of the small world had now become an obedient little woman, but she was willing to do so. All she could see was that Miao Yi didn't ask the other women to stay, only her. He also didn't ask her to leave because of the secret. It was obvious how much trust he had in her. All these years of suffering had instantly turned into sweetness.
Little did she know that Miao Yi knew many of his secrets. Currently, he was also discussing many secrets with Yang Qing. There wasn't much meaning in avoiding Qin Weiwei, so he might as well show his affection and win her favor. At the same time, it was a show for Yang Qing to see.
Honestly speaking, he had mixed too many benefits with some women, so he was already subconsciously rejecting them. Qin Weiwei's beauty was considered good in the small world, but here, she could only be considered below average. Furthermore, the matter with Yan Beihong, Yue Yao, and the others had left him in a very low mood. Right now, he had absolutely no interest in talking about love, nor was he interested in the affairs between a man and a woman. However, he still forced a smile on his face and pretended to dote on Qin Weiwei.
Of course, it wasn't that he hated Qin Weiwei. Their old feelings still existed.
Not long after, Yang Qing arrived. When he saw Qin Weiwei in the Celestial Hall, he was somewhat taken aback. He never thought that his daughter would actually be serving by Miao Yi's side in the Celestial Hall. The Celestial Hall was the Celestial Emperor's private study. The matters discussed in the Universal Hall were usually less confidential than here. The Celestial Hall wasn't a place where women in the imperial harem could easily enter.
Miao Yi put down the jade archive, then discussed the arrangements for the troops with Yang Qing.
Yang Qing was obviously a little out of sorts. His emotions were mixed. He was happy because regardless of whether Miao Yi was putting on a show for him or not, at least it proved that his daughter could still rely on him. As long as he was around, no one in the Heavenly Palace would dare to make things difficult for his daughter. As for his worries, they were many.
After chatting for a while, Miao Yi also noticed that Yang Qing wasn't in the right state of mind. He was secretly amused. He had really grasped this old fox's weak spot.
Since he couldn't get any useful information out of him, he didn't ask any further. He had Qin Weiwei send him off.
After exiting the Celestial Hall and walking a little further, both father and daughter stopped in their tracks. Qin Weiwei bowed and said, "Father, your daughter still has to serve His Majesty. Forgive me for not being able to send you off."
'Does he lack people to serve him?' Yang Qing cursed in his heart, but when he saw his daughter's radiant face, it was obvious that she was happy to be favored, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't say anything about it being done for him to see. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so he didn't want to spoil his daughter's mood and make her sad. He could only sigh softly, "Weiwei, remember, it's not your turn to be in the limelight now. The Celestial Hall is a place where confidential matters of the Heavenly Court are discussed. It's not a place where women in the imperial harem can easily enter. You'll be too conspicuous by standing there and will become a target for everyone. Do you understand? Remember, our family is different from others. You don't need to rely on fighting for favor to gain a foothold by His Majesty's side. Especially at this juncture, you must keep a low profile. When His Majesty needs you, you just have to fulfill your duties as a woman. You don't have to think too much about other things for now, understand? "
Qin Weiwei immediately nodded and said, "Understood."
Seeing her agree so readily, Yang Qing was speechless. He didn't know if she had taken his words to heart, but he could tell that she was eager to return to Miao Yi's side.
Yang Qing felt terrible inside. He finally understood what it meant for a married daughter to be like spilt water, and what it meant to side with an outsider. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, but instead of spending time with her father, she was thinking of spending time with another man. What the hell was this?
He wanted to say something, but stopped himself in the end. In the end, he didn't say anything too serious and dampen his daughter's mood. He thought that with him here, it shouldn't be a problem for her to be happy for now. As for the rest, it wouldn't be too late to discuss it in detail after his daughter's excitement died down. He sighed and shook his head, then turned and left...
Two days later, the people of the Green Central Garden, as well as the large group of people under house arrest in the Imperial Garden, collectively evacuated the Imperial Garden and moved to the Ancient Desolate Realm.
The majestic and vast Heavenly Palace abruptly trembled. The people inside the Heavenly Palace trembled as they felt the Heavenly Palace begin to move in the starry sky.
Around the massive Heavenly Palace gathered an army of over a billion soldiers. They were either pushing the Heavenly Palace forward, guiding it from the front, paving the way, or guarding the perimeter. They accompanied the Heavenly Palace as it advanced at a steady pace.
High up in the palace, Miao Yi was expressionless as he leaned against the railing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the starry sky.
Under Yang Zhaoqing's guidance, Pang Guan arrived upstairs. He walked up to Miao Yi and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Miao Yi turned around and smiled. He extended his hand and invited him to stand beside him. Then, he waved his hand and pointed at the specks of starlight around them, asking, "Isn't this spectacular?"
Upon hearing this, Pang Guan knew what he was thinking. He had called him over to let him see for himself, to ask him if he was convinced, and to tell him that even if he had seized the southern army's territory back then, he would at most be a commander of the southern army, but he was different.
He looked around and praised, "The relocation of the Heavenly Palace is a spectacular and magnificent sight. Your Majesty's ambition is not something I can compare with. I was overestimating myself back then." What he meant was that he was formally admitting his mistake during the territorial war of the Southern Army and expressing his submission.
Miao Yi smiled and said, "I have let you down for what happened all those years ago. I will naturally make it up to you in the future. You will have a seat as a Heavenly King. What do you think?"
Pang Guan was stunned for a moment. Was there such a good thing? He didn't quite understand what Miao Yi meant. Was he testing him? He didn't dare to answer directly. He wanted to think about what Miao Yi meant, so he changed the topic and said, "As long as Your Majesty doesn't let Xiaoxiao down, it's fine. Speaking of Xiaoxiao, she has also formally married Your Majesty. I wonder if the position of Heavenly Consort can accommodate her?"
At this point, Miao Yi was silent for a moment. Qin Weiwei and the others had arrived, and the world had just settled down. He needed to appease the hearts of the people. He had a list of candidates to be conferred the title of Heavenly Consort, and Pang Xiaoxiao was one of them. It shouldn't be a problem for Yun Zhiqiu to pass, but he had his own selfish motives. He wanted to delay it and wait for another person to arrive before making a decision …
The massive Heavenly Palace didn't dare to fly too fast because it was too big. If it flew too fast, it might crash into some celestial body when it couldn't make a turn easily.
The starry sky was vast and boundless. Wherever the Heavenly Palace passed, there would be a constant stream of generals coming to pay their respects.
Halfway through, the person Miao Yi was waiting for finally arrived — Xu Tangran!
Inside the Celestial Hall, in front of a group of generals, Xu Tangran said that the current Hero Ensemble was already Huangfu Jun. After interacting with the Hero Ensemble for some time, he suggested that His Majesty take Huangfu Jun. Naturally, the reason was so that it would be easier to control the Hero Ensemble.
Miao Yi asked the crowd, "What do you all think of Xu Tangran's opinion?"
The crowd was a little puzzled. Did the current Hero Ensemble need to be given so much face? However, they all knew that Xu Tangran was Miao Yi's number one lackey. They didn't know what he meant by this and were all mulling over it.
No one objected, so Miao Yi took it as everyone had agreed.
After the crowd dispersed, Miao Yi asked Yang Zhaoqing to bring the list of Heavenly Consorts to Yun Zhiqiu. Yun Zhiqiu was the one in charge of the harem.
Inside the Celestial Valley Palace, Yang Zhaoqing met Yun Zhiqiu. After handing over the list, he secretly observed Yun Zhiqiu's reaction.
In the pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu sat up straight and looked at the list carefully. A name jumped into her eyes, and her brows twitched subconsciously.
When she saw that name, she recalled the dudou that Miao Yi wore on his bed when he was still working at Sky Street. After so many years, that dudou was like a thorn in her heart that she couldn't get rid of. Did he really think she was so stupid that she could fool him? She just never said a word.
She glanced at Yang Zhaoqing and asked indifferently, "This Huangfu Jun? Y isn't even His Majesty's consort. Why is she suddenly on the list of Heavenly Consorts? "
"In order to better control the Hero Ensemble, Xu Tangran made a statement …" Yang Zhaoqing briefly explained the situation. In any case, the statement was meant to clear Miao Yi's name and push all the blame onto Xu Tangran.
"I see!" Yun Zhiqiu calmly replied. He swiped his hand across the jade archive and said expressionlessly, "This woman is not suitable. The others are fine." He then tossed the jade archive back to Miao Yi.
Yang Zhaoqing caught the jade archive and glanced at it. Y's name was decisively crossed out. He sighed inwardly and didn't dare to say anything else. He took his leave after acknowledging Yun Zhiqiu's request.
As soon as he walked out of the pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu coldly said, "It's been a long time since I saw Xu Tangran. I was just about to ask him about the renovation of Virtue Assembly Hall. Tell him to come see me. Call Xue Linglong over as well."
