Chapter 144 Surprise
Si Lili, in particular, added with a charming smile, "Your Majesty, you are truly stunningly beautiful, even more so than the legends say, and you look even younger! To be one of your daughters-in-law, serving you and His Majesty day and night, is an immense blessing that I could never attain in several lifetimes!"
Ye Qingmei looked at the beautiful women before her, each one a stunning beauty with a different background (a fallen empress, a saintess of Northern Qi, a talented woman from the previous dynasty, a business prodigy, and a spy). She was slightly taken aback at first, then her face showed a mixture of surprise and amusement, which eventually turned into an expression of immense pride and excitement!
She abruptly turned her head, gave Ye Tian a thumbs-up, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous yet admiring light, and lowered her voice, speaking in a tone only the mother and son could hear, with a hint of mockery:
"Oh! Good lad, Tian'er, you're something else! Your mother has only just woken up, and you've already given her such a big 'surprise'! You truly are my good son, Ye Qingmei! You have vision! You have guts! And you have ability!"
She patted Ye Tian on the shoulder, laughing heartily, "How old are you? Not only did you start from scratch and become the founding emperor, establishing the Great Qin Dynasty, but you've also built such a magnificent and impressive harem! And, let me tell you, your taste is truly excellent. Each one of them is a beauty, full of charm, and look at the spirit in their eyes—they're all formidable, each with their own unique abilities and allure! Hahaha! Good! Excellent! This is so much better than your good-for-nothing father back then! With me, Ye Qing..."
How much of Mei's former elegance she possessed! She knew how to recognize and utilize talent, and she recruited many capable individuals!
She looked at Ye Tian with eyes full of pride and self-satisfaction as a mother, as if Ye Tian's ability to have so many beautiful women was a manifestation of his capabilities and something to be proud of.
"A man who aspires to great things must have a few capable and attractive confidantes and supportive women by his side, women who can offer advice and companionship. That would be a true failure! My son is truly remarkable! Not only is he the founding emperor, but his skill in 'taming women' seems to be unparalleled in the world!"
Ye Qingmei's shocking and unconventional remarks left everyone present, except for Ye Tian and Wu Zhu, dumbfounded and their worldviews shattered!
Fan Xian and Ku He, in particular, had never heard of such an "empress dowager," so "enlightened" and even somewhat "unrestrained." This, this style is not right!
Ye Tian was also left speechless, both amused and exasperated by his mother's outrageous words.
But a warm feeling also welled up in my heart.
He knew that this was the kind of person his unconventional and exceptionally talented mother, Ye Qingmei, should be!
Seeing Ye Tian's somewhat helpless expression, Ye Qingmei laughed even harder. She reached out and gently stroked Ye Tian's face, which resembled hers but was even more handsome and majestic, her eyes filled with endless love and pride.
She suddenly leaned forward and gave Ye Tian a big kiss on his smooth forehead!
"Good son! You're such a good son to me! I'm so proud of you!" Her voice trembled slightly with emotion. "Come on! Help me up, and tell me all these years, how you've managed to get through it all."
What earth-shattering events have they gone through! Let your mother see for herself what this great Qin empire, which my son conquered with his own hands, really looks like!
And also, and your good-for-nothing younger brother, Fan Xian.
"Call your brothers over here too, so I can see what heroic figures you've grown into!"
Ye Qingmei held Ye Tian's hand with one hand and gestured to Wu Zhu with the other.

Surrounded by the group of petrified "daughters-in-law" and the dumbfounded crowd,
With high spirits, they walked towards the council hall of the Qin Dynasty.
A new era has begun with her awakening.
It seems that the curtain has truly been raised.
················
As Ye Qingmei, surrounded by a group of "daughters-in-law" who were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood and whose eyes shone with fanatical worship, prepared to head to the Great Qin Dynasty's council hall to hear about her son's "great achievements" over the past twenty years, Ye Tian felt that some things needed to be explained more formally and impactfully to make his mother, who had just "awakened," fully understand.
He gestured for everyone to calm down, and then, in the Purple Palace (formerly the Golden Palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty), which had just experienced a battle resembling a clash of gods but had been swiftly cleaned up and solemnly rearranged by the Great Snow Dragon Riders, Ye Tian, dressed in a black dragon robe embroidered with nine five-clawed golden dragons and wearing a twelve-tassel crown, stood before them.
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of a group of civil and military officials (including former officials of Northern Qi who had just surrendered and were in mixed feelings, such as Shen Zhong, as well as Master Ku He and Fan Xian who were "invited" by Ye Tian to attend the ceremony), he slowly walked up the nine-tiered white jade steps and finally sat down calmly on the dragon throne that symbolized supreme power.
His eyes, which had undergone the dual baptism and transformation of the "Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Golden Core" and the "Land Celestial Realm," were as deep as the starry sky and as bright as the sun and moon, seemingly able to see through all the illusions of the world. They calmly swept over the crowd below, and finally, with a trace of filial piety and solemnity, landed on his mother, Ye Qingmei, who was standing at the forefront of the prince and was personally protected by Wu Zhu.
"Mother," Ye Tian's voice, amplified by the power of immortal energy, resounded clearly and majestically throughout the hall, reaching the hearts of everyone present. "You have been asleep for nearly twenty years, and the world has undergone tremendous changes. Now, the corrupt Northern Qi Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Qing Kingdom, which appears powerful but is actually rotten to the core, will soon be reborn, or rather, utterly destroyed, in my hands."
He paused, his tone filled with undeniable domineering power and the pride of making history: "I, your own son, Ye Tian, ascended the throne and became emperor here, in the former capital of Northern Qi, several days ago! The name of the nation is 'Great Qin'! The era name is 'Shiwu'! I am the founding emperor of my Great Qin Dynasty, Emperor Shiwu!"
"And you, Mother," Ye Tian's gaze softened with immense tenderness and reverence, "are the first and only Empress Dowager of our Great Qin Dynasty, whose status is equal to that of the founding ancestor, who enjoys the utmost respect from all people, and whose fate is intertwined with the nation's—the Holy Mother Protector of the Nation!"
boom--!!!
Although Ye Tian had briefly mentioned his ambition to become emperor and establish a nation to Ye Qingmei in the underground palace, at this moment, as the founding emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty...
In the solemn and majestic Golden Palace, in front of all the civil and military officials (although most of them were surrendered officials) and all her "family members," when all this was announced so formally and solemnly, and she was given the supreme title of "Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother Protector of the Nation," Ye Qingmei was still completely stunned by this sudden, overwhelming "surprise" and "reality," which was like Mount Tai pressing down on her!
"No, unbelievable! This, this is simply unbelievable!" Ye Qingmei felt her mind go blank. She subconsciously reached out and tightly grabbed Wu Zhu's cold iron arm beside her, barely managing to support her body, which was trembling slightly from excessive excitement.
Her beautiful eyes widened, fixed on the son on the dragon throne—a son who was both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiar because of his bloodline and appearance, but unfamiliar because of the imperial aura that commanded the world and looked down upon all living beings, and the terrifying power and overwhelming authority that made even this "modern soul" who was used to grand occasions tremble with fear!
