Chapter 251 Royal Family Banquet
"No, the royal family has its own rules. You must come to class." Di Han was extremely persistent.
"What will happen if I don't go?"
"If you don't go, your father will be named by the clan elders, and then reported to the royal family and the entire galaxy." There was a threat in Emperor Han's words.
"Just inform me, it's not me who's being informed. By the way, hang up." Ji Wan hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking.
But not long after, another communication from the interstellar space came, and this time it was Hongkong himself.
"What?" Ji Wanyi lay in the rocking chair and answered the call impatiently.
"You don't have to attend regular classes, but you must come five days every academic month."
"I don't care what you study or how well you learn, you have to come anyway."
Behind Hongkong stood Di Han, and the two of them stared at her at the same time through the screen with a sense of oppression.
"I don't. It's clearly stated in our contract that you can't force me to do anything I don't want to do." Ji Wanyi was like glued to a rocking chair, refusing to move.
"It's clearly written in the contract that you must cooperate with me and do what I must do."
"The educational mission is something we must complete, otherwise both of us will be punished."
Hongkong looked at her seriously.
"I am a minor. The law is punishing you, not me." Ji Wanyi said as he turned over.
"If I am punished, I will punish you too."
"I think it's better for us to cooperate well."
In the end, Ji Wanyi was persuaded.
"I know, I know, I'll go." She hung up the phone dissatisfiedly and immediately informed her brothers of the unfortunate news.
Pack your bags and head to the stars again.
It was another ten-day journey, and this time she entered the palace with a gloomy face.
What’s even more unfortunate is that today is the royal family dinner.
There were six people sitting at the luxurious extended dining table.
The one at the top is undoubtedly Emperor Hongkong.
Sitting in the second seat on his left was Di Han, and on his right sat Ji Wanyi. Next to Di Han was Qi Sikai, the adopted son of the second emperor. On the other side of Ji Wanyi was Di Han's adopted son, Di Zi, the crown prince of the Hongkong Empire. Next to the crown prince was Di Han's adopted daughter Di Min.
The last one is Qi Sikai’s adopted son Qi Nuo.
In the entire royal family, no couple is biologically related.
Ji Wanyi could clearly feel that this person had a strange aura.
There are undercurrents surging in the air.
"My aunt seems a little unhappy about attending the family dinner." Di Min was the first to fire at her.
"I'm really unhappy." Ji Wanyi didn't have time to deal with her hesitation.
She didn't want anything, so she didn't bother to worry about what to say or what not to say.
"Who are you waiting for?" Ji Wan turned her head to look at Hong Kong and asked impatiently.
"Let's eat."
As soon as Ji Wan finished asking, Hongkong immediately gave the order.
Interstellar people have reached the level of war gods or above, so why do they need to eat? They still retain the custom of family banquets just for the sense of ritual.
I wasn't hungry to begin with, and the food wasn't tasty at all.
Soon these people started to do other things.
"I heard that my cousin built an adult playground in the fringe galaxy. I wonder if you can take me, your younger brother, to play there." Not long after the game started, Prince Di Zi spoke to Qi Sikai.
"Where did you get the information, cousin? I don't know anything about the marginal star. I only know that sister Di Min killed an underage boy some time ago." Qi Sikai is not a pushover either.
It's just sabotaging each other, who wouldn't do that?
"Skye, don't talk nonsense. The imperial laws are so strict, who can lay hands on a minor?" Di Han interrupted, and at the same time looked guiltily at Emperor Hongkong who was sitting on a high seat.
The law is indeed strict, but it protects more minors who are adopted by people of higher status. Those children who are still in their original families and in poor conditions do not have a good life either.
For powerful people like them, killing a few powerless minors is no big deal.
Ji Wanyi and Hongkong did not say a word, eating elegantly throughout the whole process and watching the confrontation between the few people.
The complexity and greed of human nature can be seen everywhere.
It is obvious that they were minors from poor families before being adopted by Hongkong, but now they are adults, yet they treat other people in distress like this.
"Aunt, are you still in touch with your biological parents?" Di Min suddenly asked her.
"My mother passed away early, but she left me with a foundation of values and inexhaustible wealth, which has kept me from being poor in both spirit and education."
Mentioning her biological parents in front of Hongkong was just to embarrass her.
"Really? My aunt's parents are not here, but my second uncle's parents are. It's a pity that my aunt's parents can't be as domineering and enjoy the glory in the palace as my third uncle's parents." Qi Sikai immediately took over and pointed the finger at Di Han.
In response to this, Di Han could only smile awkwardly, and then looked at Hong Kong cautiously again.
Hongkong continued to eat gracefully, not caring at all about their tricks.
Ji Wanyi took two bites and then stopped. The food was not tasty to begin with, and these people made her feel disgusted, so she didn't want to eat it anymore.
"Since you don't want to eat anymore, then walk with me." Hongkong also put down the cutlery, wiped his mouth, got up and left.
"What do you think?" Hongkong asked Ji Wanyi after they got outside.
"What's the meaning?" Ji Wanyi asked back.
Did you raise them and keep them by your side just to watch them scheme against each other and fight for power?
Moreover, these people only fear Hongkong, not respect him.
"Yeah, what's the point!" Hongkong looked up at the sky and felt tired again.
"I think there is something wrong with your approach. Why don't you just adopt them and raise them? Why do you have to leave your things to them? Wouldn't that just foster their ambitions?" Ji Wanyi continued.
"But I don't want to be tied to the throne forever. My empire needs an heir. They are all my children, so let's fight for it based on our strength."
"The strong are respected. This is the principle of the galaxy. If they can hold on to this position, I certainly have no objection."
Ji Wan understood immediately what he meant. It only mattered about strength, not blood relationship.
