The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Starting from April, all parts of the country are busy preparing for the upcoming Wanshou Festival.

After more than ten years of exploration at sea, An Guo has now established friendly relations with dozens of countries and has discovered almost all civilized countries.

For this year's Wanshou Festival, An Guo has already received documents from various countries intending to send envoys to attend.

The scale of this banquet can be said to be the most grand among Yunzhi's many birthday banquets.

Sea exploration is of great significance to An Guo. Over the past decade or so, many high-yield crops and some rare and exotic crops have been discovered one after another.

Three years ago, the population of Anguo successfully exceeded 1.5 million, reaching the largest population in history. Today, the population of Anguo has exceeded million.

Due to the increase in population, the territory of Anguo was expanded many times, and all the territories that had never been set foot on before became part of Anguo's territory.

Let those who have no land go there to open up wasteland and settle down.

On the eve of the Wanshou Festival, envoys sent by the foreign countries arrived at the Anguo Imperial City one after another with a long line of gifts.

Suddenly, the imperial city became even more lively.

"Wow, this is the imperial city of Anguo's first city. It's so shocking."

A man with short curly golden hair and a pair of blue eyes has been looking around since he entered the imperial city.

He looked here, then there, wishing he could grow a few more pairs of eyes.

Another envoy beside him was also amazed, "I heard that Anguo was prosperous. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved."

In Anguo in June, the weather has gradually become hotter.

People walking on the wide streets are no longer as half-naked as they were more than 20 years ago.

At this time, they walked on the streets with their heads held high and chests puffed out, wearing a variety of clothes, adding infinite vitality and vigor to this imperial city.

In the streets and alleys, the shouts of vendors echoed one after another, and the dazzling array of goods was dazzling. Children played and ran among the crowds, their laughter echoing in the air.

The blond man and other envoys were deeply attracted by the lively scene and could not help but stop to watch.

"Life here is so colorful and full of the flavor of everyday life." An envoy said with longing in his eyes.

An official from the Ministry of Rites who came to greet them listened to their words and said with a smile, "There are still a few days until the Emperor's Birthday. We will then send someone to take you on a tour of the Imperial City. I believe you will like it here."

"Wow, is this the confidence that comes from a great power? I also believe that I will like your place. Everything here is so magical. Our people have always loved your Anguo things. This time I must take a good look."

Another envoy echoed, "Yes, it's not easy to come to Anguo, so I will definitely take a good look around. Your things are all beautifully made. She especially liked the screen that your Majesty gave to our Majesty last time."

If you were to ask what the most attractive things about Anguo are, they would definitely be silk, porcelain, jade, embroidery and other items.

Each of these would cause a huge sensation in their country.

Anguo, with a history of more than 2,000 years, is truly incomparable to countries with less cultural heritage like theirs.

The Ministry of Rites official smiled and responded, "You are too kind. Every country has its own unique characteristics. Only by exchanging and learning from each other can we make common progress."

The envoys nodded in agreement.

Although they knew that their country was not as powerful as Anguo, they could not accept slander.

They are also proud of their country.

Afterwards, the envoys, led by officials from the Ministry of Rites, went to the inn that had been arranged in advance to rest.

The layout and furnishings inside the inn once again shocked them.

In the following days, envoys from various countries shuttled back and forth in the imperial city.

I originally planned to buy some exquisite items from Anguo to take back, but I was overwhelmed by the delicious food.

When they were enjoying themselves, the Wanshou Festival came quietly.

On June 17th, the rising sun broke through the clouds and shone onto the earth, adding a touch of brilliant color to the city.

As soon as the sun rose, it took quite a while for the ministers and envoys from various countries to line up and enter the palace.

Inside the palace, lights and decorations were everywhere, and the air was filled with a festive and cheerful atmosphere.

After everyone entered and took their seats, Yun Zhi, wearing an extremely gorgeous dress, stepped into the hall.

The rising sun shone on the five-clawed golden dragon, and for a moment, it seemed to come alive.

Yun Zhi walked steadily up to the podium, sat down, and scanned the entire audience with a look of majesty.

"Today is the day of your great birthday, and we invite you all to join us in this grand celebration."

"May Your Majesty live a long life and may the country be prosperous and strong!" The uniform voice echoed in the palace for a long time.

Yun Zhi raised her right hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.

Afterwards, the grand banquet began, and the exquisite delicacies and wonderful singing and dancing performances dazzled everyone.

Envoys from various countries presented their carefully prepared gifts, a dazzling array of rare and precious treasures, to express their respect and friendship to Yunzhi and Anguo.

Yun Zhi just sat there casually, but her demeanor was amazing.

Although his sitting posture was not very standard, people dared not look directly at him. He had the demeanor of a monarch of a great country. Whenever an envoy from another country presented a gift, he would simply say a few words of thanks.

It was not until the moon reached its zenith that those who came to attend the Longevity Festival left the palace with satisfaction on their faces.

After the Wanshou Festival, the envoys from the imperial city left one after another, and the imperial city finally became less crowded.

In the 23rd year of Yongding, Yun Zhi summoned Zhu Ning and three others.
