They were performing a one-man show from beginning to end, and no one was cooperating with them. This awkward situation made Aung San wish he could find a hole to crawl into.
He sadly discovered that things had progressed to this point and no one was willing to help them anymore.
Qi Tongwei's complete rise to prominence has made their already insignificant position even more precarious.
……
The news that Qi Tongwei was invited to participate in a state visit by the Dragon Kingdom has gone viral across the entire internet.
Everyone is excited!
Wow! Our motherland is awesome! So powerful and majestic!
"Haha, Emperor Qi is my idol! I never expected that the first country to invite him for a state visit would be our Dragon Kingdom. This is wonderful!"
"Yes, but that's understandable. Emperor Qi is originally from our Dragon Kingdom. He shares the same ancestry and ancestors as us. Although he has established a country abroad, his roots are still here. This time, his return for a state visit can be considered a triumphant homecoming!"
"Sigh, I wonder if we ordinary people will have a chance to meet Emperor Qi during this visit? If I do, I definitely want to take a picture with him. I admire him so much!"
"By the way, Emperor Qi has received an invitation from the national level and should be heading straight to the capital. If we wait for him in the capital beforehand, we might actually get lucky and see him."
"Wow, now that you mention it, it's true! I'll ask for leave from work right now. I'm going to bump into Emperor Qi in the capital in three days!"
"Count me in too!"
eight……
(2) Qi Tongwei is a Chinese citizen, and because of the series of things he did before, his reputation in China has reached an incredible level.
The people of the Dragon Kingdom showed great enthusiasm and welcome for Si's arrival.
3. Even the limited company gave several days off because Qi Tongwei was about to visit the Dragon Kingdom. The boss organized the employees to go to the capital, hoping to have a chance encounter with Emperor Qi in the vast sea of people.
As for the fact that Qi Tongwei was once a wanted criminal, they had long forgotten about it.
The Lin government compound.
In the filthy house.
Hou Liangping is playing chess with Gao Yuliang.
With the changing situation these days, he and Gao Yuliang are no longer so careful about avoiding each other.
After all, many things are no longer within their control. The focus and attention of those above have long since shifted, and even if they have contact with them, few people will care.
Now, almost all of the top leadership's attention and focus are on Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire.
As for Gao Yuliang, who already had problems, he was like a disgraced minister who had long been relegated to obscurity.
Although Gao Yuliang felt some bitterness, he was also somewhat relieved.
Because he understood that this might be the best outcome for him.
After playing a game of chess.
Gao Yuliang suddenly looked up at Hou Liangping and sighed deeply.
"Liangping, you should know that your senior brother has been invited on a state visit, right?"
Although he has not yet fully regained his personal freedom, he has still heard some of this major news and information.
Because almost all major authoritative news media outlets are reporting on this matter.
Even if he wanted to, it would be difficult for him not to know.
Hou Liangping nodded, his expression somewhat bitter.
"Teacher, how could I not know about something so important?"
Gao Yuliang gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"That's true. You're different from me. I'm a criminal now, while you're the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau with a bright future ahead of you. Naturally, you're qualified to know many things."
"Liangping, I didn't expect the higher-ups to make such a decision. What are your thoughts on this?"
Hou Liangping remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
My heart is in turmoil.
“Teacher, senior brother… no, I should now call him Emperor Qi. He was invited to return as the emperor of the Great Han Empire, which shows how much importance the higher authorities attach to him.”
“I think that all the things related to him now are beyond our concern and intervention. Recently, I have also followed your advice and have not inquired about anything related to Emperor Qi.”
"So, now that you're asking me this question, I really don't know how to answer it."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang smiled.
He knew his student too well, and he wasn't surprised at all by Hou Liangping's answer.
Moreover, he understood that Hou Liangping had never truly let go of what had happened back then.
The reason he doesn't get involved now isn't because he doesn't want to care anymore, but because with his current status and abilities, he can no longer intervene.
Hou Liangping is upright and intolerant of any wrongdoing, but this very trait sometimes makes him unlikable.
Because he is too focused on principles and doesn't know how to be flexible.
This is the biggest difference between him and Qi Tongwei.
Before Qi Tongwei was wanted for his crimes, he appeared more down-to-earth and authentic in many ways.
"Yes."
Gao Yuliang sighed with a look of deep emotion.
“You were all my prized students, but fate has played a cruel trick on you, giving you all different destinies. To be honest, I never expected Tongwei to be in this situation now.”
"Sometimes I even doubt whether he is really your senior brother?"
"His change is so great that I almost don't recognize him. He used to call himself half a game better than Heaven, which I thought was too arrogant. But now, only he deserves the title of half a game better than Heaven."
Hou Liangping's expression froze.
A moment later, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Yes, judging from Qi Tongwei's achievements and the things he has done, he can indeed be described as having won against fate!
"Alright, that's enough. These things are beyond our control, and we can't fathom what the higher-ups are thinking. Let's just wait and see."
"That's what the teacher said."
……
The Great Han Empire.
Inside the palace, Qi Tongwei finished his dual cultivation with Reba.
Dilraba lay languidly in his arms, enjoying the tranquility and sweetness after the storm.
Just then, Qi Tongwei suddenly spoke.
"Reba, we will be visiting the Dragon Kingdom in three days. You should come with me. You must be homesick after being away for so long."
Upon hearing this, Dilraba looked up with a delighted expression.
"Your Majesty, are you... are you telling the truth?"
"Can I really go back with you?"
The fact that the Dragon Kingdom invited Qi Tongjiuwei for a state visit was a major news event, and she naturally already knew about it.
Moreover, she had always hoped to go back with Qi Tongwei.
However, she was worried that Qi Tongwei would refuse her request, so she kept quiet.
But she didn't expect Qi Tongwei to bring it up on his own initiative.
"Ah."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly.
082. The Grand Ceremony for the Conferment of Imperial Consorts in the Han Dynasty was attended by half of the country's female stars! (Please subscribe)
"I am returning to the Dragon Kingdom as a monarch, and as the Empress Consort of the Great Han Empire, it is only natural that you should accompany me. What, do you not wish to?"
Upon hearing this, Dilraba was frozen in place, completely stunned.
She stared blankly at Qi Tongwei, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief!
Your Majesty just said that she is an imperial concubine of the Han Empire?
But she was clearly not granted a title, so why would His Majesty say that?
It took her a long time to come to her senses.
"Your Majesty, you... just now you said I was an imperial concubine?"
"Did I hear it wrong?"
Qi Tongwei laughed.
"You'll find out tomorrow if you heard me right~".
……
the next day.
Qi Tongwei convened a monarchical meeting, which was attended by all the high-ranking officials of the Great Han Empire, including Lu Bingkun and Su Qidu.
Besides them, there is one other person attending the meeting today.
Hotball!
Although the women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics, there is something that is closely related to Dilraba today, so Qi Tongwei naturally asked Dilraba to accompany him.
Royal Conference Room.
Qi Tongwei's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice.
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, nor can it be without an empress for a day. Given that our Great Han Empire has only been established for a short time, everything is in need of rebuilding, and there are still many tough battles waiting for us. The matter of establishing an empress will be put on hold for the time being. However, the empire does indeed need an imperial concubine."
"I have decided that, from this day forward, Reba shall be conferred the title of Imperial Consort of the Great Han Empire. She shall accompany me in all matters involving state etiquette."
Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Dilraba covered her mouth in disbelief, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.
She was so touched!
This is an imperial concubine of the Great Han Empire!
She cultivated alongside Qi Tongwei, her mind entirely focused on him, but she didn't ask for anything in return.
But she never expected that Qi Tongwei would give her such a great honor!
She finally understood what Qi Tongwei had said last night; it turned out he had planned everything all along.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Reba came to her senses, her face flushed, and bowed to Qi Tongwei.
Compared to her shock, Lu Bingkun, He Suqi, and others remained remarkably calm.
During this period, they had witnessed the intimate relationship between Qi Tongwei and Reba, and in their eyes, His Majesty now only had Reba as his woman.
At this time, if the Great Han Empire needed an imperial concubine, then naturally it would be none other than Reba.
After Qi Tongwei finished bestowing the title, Lu Bingkun and the others all stood up and bowed to Reba.
"Your humble servants pay their respects to the Imperial Consort."
Although Reba was still a little shy and excited, she was, after all, a cultivator, and she quickly adapted to her role, behaving gracefully in front of everyone.
She did not become arrogant because of Qi Tongwei's favor; on the contrary, she was very easygoing.
Because she understood that what His Majesty needed was not a sharp-tongued woman, but a virtuous wife who could tolerate everything and help him handle the affairs of the inner palace in the future.
As for enjoying Qi Tongwei's special favor exclusively, Dilraba never dared to hope for it.
As she spent more time with His Majesty, she came to understand that he was a man of great talent and ambition.
A man like him is destined to have more than one woman.
She didn't care how many women Qi Tongwei would have in the future; all she knew was that she was the first imperial concubine of the Great Han Empire, and that was enough.
After the meeting.
The Han Empire officially issued a statement to the world.
Reba was conferred the title of Imperial Consort of the Great Han Empire, and the Imperial Consort will accompany His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Empire on a state visit to the Dragon Kingdom.
