Zhu Houzhao had just left the court when the eunuch came to report the consort title. This was a rare thing, but who was to be consort?
Consort consort conferring wasn't as simple as conferring a title to a beauty or a talent.
Generally speaking, after an ordinary lady was favored by the emperor, she would at most be given the title of a fourth-grade talent or a third-grade beauty…
Second Grade Nine Concubines.
One had to have at least a dragon heir to have a chance to become a Second Grade Twelve Concubine.
The eunuch waited for His Majesty's reply.
"Tell the Empress Dowager that at noon, zhen will go to Cining Palace for a meal.”
"Yes!"
The eunuchs went to Cining Palace to report. Zhu Houzhao strolled to the arrow tower of Desheng Gate. Huang Shang, the eunuch in the royal study, followed behind Zhu Houzhao. The commander of the Brocade Guard, Vermilion Bird, had been in the arrow tower for three days and three nights to comprehend the visualization tablet of the Path of Heaven and Man.
Zhu Houzhao was curious about the Vermilion Bird's cultivation progress.
The Vermilion Bird's cultivation was at Rank Two Master Realm, which was the same as Zhu Houzhao's. Zhu Houzhao was looking forward to the Vermilion Bird breaking through to Vajra Realm!
Vajra Realm was not only the dream of many martial artists, but it was also Zhu Houzhao's dream.?
After all, the Vajra Realm had a resounding name: Martial arts grandmaster!
……
Huang Shang followed Zhu Houzhao to Desheng Gate. Zhu Houzhao stood on the arrow tower and saw the visualization tablet of the Path of Heaven and Man standing in front of Desheng Gate. The commander of the Brocade Guard, Vermilion Bird, stood in front of the wordless tablet and sank into it.
The Vermillion Bird wore a red cloak and a flying fish robe. She had a voluptuous chest and a slender waist. She was a woman who had inherited her father's Thousand Households.
Five years ago, there was a rebellion in Liaodong, and the Tartars took the opportunity to attack the east. The Governor of Liaodong died in battle, and the Tartars arrived at Shanhaiguan.
Vermilion Bird's father, the previous Vermilion Bird Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, led the Embroidered Uniform Guards to rush to Shanhaiguan with three thousand Divine Arms Battalion to defend Shanhaiguan and repel more than one hundred thousand Tatars…
The previous Vermilion Bird Commander had stopped the Tatars, defended Shanhai Pass, and turned the tide outside the pass. Emperor Hongzhi had rewarded him with the title of Vermilion Bird Commander. He could inherit the position of a thousand households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards for generations!
If there were no children, the son-in-law could take over. If there were no son-in-law, the daughter would inherit the position of the Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Two years later, the previous Vermilion Bird Commander was killed by the Twelve Fiend Child Emperors of the Heavenly Lake when he was investigating the World Conference. The Vermilion Bird Commander was passed down to his daughter, Nie Ziyi, who officially became the Vermilion Bird Commander and commanded the Divine Arms Battalion!
Nie Ziyi had always wanted to kill the Child Sovereign with his own hands. However, this was like a fantasy. Not to mention capturing the Child Sovereign, even if Nie Ziyi encountered the Child Sovereign, he would not be able to fight against the Child Sovereign.
Nie Ziyi was no match for Child Emperor.
"I will definitely kill the Child Empress…"
Breakthrough!
Breakthrough!
Boom!
Nie Ziyi visualized the stele for three days and three nights before finally breaking through.
He had broken through from Rank-2 to Rank-1 Vajra Realm!
Nie Ziyi's transformation was like a mortal turning into a dragon. His internal energy cultivation had also changed from a pond to a river!
The breakthrough of Rank Two Master Realm had increased Nie Ziyi's strength by leaps and bounds!
After Nie Ziyi broke through, her ears were ringing and her vision was ten times better. The moment she broke through, she found Tian Zi on the arrow tower of Desheng Gate.
Nie Ziyi looked at the arrow tower of Desheng Gate and knelt on one knee to kowtow.""Vermillion Bird greets Your Majesty!"
Nie Ziyi was wearing a mask, and his eyes were very bright.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and Nie Ziyi flew up the city tower.
"Vermilion Bird greets Your Majesty."
"Rise."
"Yes."
After the Vermilion Bird stood up, Zhu Houzhao carefully sized up Nie Ziyi. She had a petite figure, but she was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see her face.
"Come, follow me to the royal study."
"Yes!"
The Vermilion Bird Commander followed Zhu Houde to the royal study.
……
In the royal study, Zhu Houzhao looked at the Vermilion Bird's mask, curious about the face under the mask.
"Take off your mask."
Nie Ziyi took off her mask when she heard Tian Zi's words.
There was determination on her delicate face…
He had a very handsome face, and because he had been practicing martial arts for many years, his figure was exquisite and there was not a trace of fat.
"I know everything about your father. I've already begun to investigate the World Association and the Twelve Fiends of the Heavenly Lake. After capturing Emperor Tong, I'll let you kill your enemy!”
Nie Ziyi's weak heart collided violently when she heard Tian Zi's words.
She did not know how to repay Tian Zi.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Nie Ziyi with pity.
"Come."
"Your Majesty…"
The Vermilion Bird didn't know what the emperor meant. The Vermilion Bird approached the emperor and its gentle breath reached Zhu Houzhao's nose. The Vermilion Bird's body had a very comfortable smell.
"Your Majesty…this humble servant…this humble servant…this humble servant does not dare.”
The Vermilion Bird wanted to dodge lightly, but she was worried that the emperor would do something inappropriate. Her duty was to command the three thousand Divine Arms Battalion, not to serve the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao picked Nie Ziyi up and closed the door of the royal study. He pushed the memorial on the Dragon's Table to the ground and carried Nie Ziyi on the table.
"Your Majesty…you can't…your humble servant…"
In the next moment, the Vermilion Bird could no longer speak.
……
Noon.
Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager was waiting for the arrival of the Emperor. Zhu Xiuning, Zhang Suqing, Jiang Yuyan, Su Quan, and the others were in the Cining Palace.
Today, the Empress Dowager planned to discuss with Zhu Houzhao about consort Zhang Suqing.
Jiang Yuyan had already been crowned as a beauty. Now, most of the eyes in the palace were focused on Zhang Suqing, allowing her to successfully avoid the storm.
However, he waited for the emperor to arrive, but the emperor did not come either.
Noon had passed and the emperor had not arrived yet. The empress dowager ordered people to find Zhu Houzhao.
Not long after, the Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace returned to Cining Palace with a strange expression.
"Where's His Majesty?" the empress dowager asked.
"This…"
The chief eunuch glanced at the others and the empress dowager said,""Just say it."
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty is meeting Commander Vermilion Bird in the royal study.”
"I see. Since Your Majesty has state affairs to attend to, let's eat first.”
Princess Yun Luo, Zhu Xiu Ning, and the others were having their meal. The Chief Eunuch and the Empress Dowager walked to the back hall. The Chief Eunuch reported in a low voice,""Empress Dowager, the emperor has favored Vermillion Bird Commander Nie Ziyi and is currently in the royal study…"
When the empress dowager heard this, her expression changed slightly. In broad daylight, in the royal study, the Emperor had gone overboard…
In the royal study.
Zhu Houzhao comforted Nie Ziyi." You've broken through to the Vajra Realm and haven't rested for three days and three nights. Rest in my royal study. With my orders, they won't dare to disturb you."”
Nie Ziyi lay in Zhu Houzhao's arms, her love turning into pity.
She never thought that His Majesty would be so considerate of her.
……
Outside the Forbidden City.
Divine Constabulary.
Zhuge Zhengwo and Guo Juxia had complicated expressions on their faces. The words of the Emperor and Huang Shang kept echoing in their minds.
The reason why Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian had broken through to the Vajra Realm and reached the Finger Profound Realm was because of the Emperor's reward.
"Guo Juxia, this is our only chance!”
"No matter what, we have to catch him!”
Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes were filled with determination.
That was the Profound Finger Realm!
For decades, he had been stuck at the perfected ninth level of the Vajra Realm. He was just one step away from touching the Profound Finger Realm.
However, just this one step had caused many people to regret it for the rest of their lives!
If he didn't have this chance, he would probably never be able to reach the Finger Profound realm!
No matter what, he had to seize this opportunity.
Under Zhuge Zhengwo's gaze, Guo Juxia nodded heavily and said,""This time, it's a hundred battles! We must stand out and receive His Majesty's reward!”
