More and more sea creatures gathered in the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but because the venue was large enough, it was not very crowded.

As time passed, the sea people who stepped through the threshold ranged from prominent families, to middle-level officials above the fourth rank, and then to high-ranking officials who held real power.

Then, there was finally a brief period of vacuum.

Until a deep roar of a sea beast was heard, breaking the silence in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the same time, it also made the people in the front hall who were socializing in the same level circle slowly lower their voices.

"Master, it's the Second Prince."

In the main reception room on the second floor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a servant came running forward.

He bowed respectfully and reported the situation outside in a low voice to a red-haired old man with many wrinkles on his face.

"Well, Ah Sheng, come here," the old man raised his hand and beckoned to one of the other two people in the living room.

He ignored the guy who was ignored, and even ignored the other person's increasingly gloomy expression.

He just gently admonished the young man in front of him: "When you go there later, pay attention to etiquette, but don't be afraid."

"Grandpa will take care of anything that happens. You don't have to worry about it."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and placed it on his grandson's arm.

Guan Sheng understood and immediately helped the old man up obediently.

"I understand, Grandpa."

The grandfather and grandson just walked out of the living room and went downstairs.

"Master, do you want to go down?"

"You have no sense, get out!"

The nominal current head of the family, Guan Yu, glared at the servant who had served the housekeeper for many years, stood up and walked out of the living room.

However, he did not go to the front hall to greet the guests, but went straight to his room.

The servant who remained in the reception room shrugged and sneered disdainfully when he saw his figure completely disappear.

Immediately, he began to call the other servants outside the door to come in.

I began to clean up the main reception room in an orderly manner, which would be used later.

Downstairs, the housekeeper's grandfather and grandson arrived at the front hall first.

Then, "His Royal Highness Yuanrong has arrived!"

It was a grand entrance different from that of other guests, but no one would object.

Putting aside the fact that Patriarch Guan holds a high position in the government, His Highness Yuanrong, as a candidate for crown prince, is worthy of such attention.

The eldest prince and his princess consort were respectfully led into the banquet hall by their attendants.

The inky translucent dragon horns, symbolizing the royal bloodline of the Dragon Spirit species, protruded from his gray-black hair.

Zi Sui in the different space sensed a familiar psychic fluctuation.

This psychic energy fluctuation is extremely similar to the one remaining on the damaged [Psychic Dream Memory].

Zi Sui's gazes scattered throughout the venue converged, and like the guests, they stared at the two big names in the venue.

Amidst the congratulations from all sides, the old man slowly stepped forward and gently shook hands with the eldest prince.

Seeing that the principal wife following beside him was a noble lady from a prominent family, the old patriarch Guan withdrew his hand before speaking.

"It is truly an honor for me that His Highness Yuanrong has come to visit."

Guan Xiangming looked at the eldest prince and ignored the girl from a noble family beside him.

"You are too polite, Minister Guan..."

The eldest prince Yuanrong acted gentle and aloof, and smiled as he gestured to the palace servants behind him to hand over the gifts.

This humble young man's gentle personality might be acceptable as a royal relative, but as the heir to the throne...

Before the two of them finished their greetings, they heard the servants' greetings at the door.

"His Highness Yuanyuan has arrived!"

The conversation came to an abrupt halt, and the two looked towards the door. The guests around them also became noticeably more serious.

Yuan Rong turned around and glanced at the entire audience inconspicuously, knowing full well that everyone was disdainful of him.

He knew very well that this was his own fault, so he kept his expression unchanged and maintained a decent smile to greet his brother.

"Yuanyuan, long time no see."

"Father-in-law, happy birthday," Yuanyuan first greeted the old patriarch Guan in the back.

"The princess is not feeling well and cannot be present. I hope you will forgive me."

"No problem, no problem."

He then said calmly, "Long time no see, big brother."

Zi Sui was eating melons in a different space. Looking at the guests' constantly changing eye contact, he began to eat the crystals of blood and flesh.

Damn it, I should have swallowed some "melon seeds". Eating just the crystals of blood and flesh doesn't taste good!

A bright eye appeared. From Zi Sui's perspective, Yuan Yuan's realm was much higher than Yuan Rong's.

Naturally, the color of his dragon horns, which symbolize his strength, has also become much darker.

The undisguised fluctuations of spiritual energy made Zi Sui completely certain that the mysterious aura before must be a member of the Dragon Spirit Clan royal family.

Outside the alien space, the conversation continues.

"Your Highness Yuanyuan, how are you?"

Old Master Guan silently accepted the words of his father-in-law and officially sided with the second prince's party.

The guests around understood what he meant. After all, this was expected.

As early as last year, when the steward's eldest daughter was named the Second Imperial Consort, there were already signs of this happening.

It’s just that because Miss Guan II became the eldest prince’s concubine, some “neutralists” did not dare to follow suit rashly.

It seems that the Prime Minister's faction has completely sided with the Second Prince's party.

Yan Fei looked at the young men from the noble families near his corner, whose expressions changed one after another, and began to contact their families urgently.

He couldn't help but sigh and quietly moved away from this small group.

Lu Qianyu had been pushed out by him using an excuse long before.

He stayed here just to confirm which families would be the ones to protect the crown prince.

He, a bastard son of the Sima family, attended the prime minister's birthday banquet, but he still hadn't reacted. He was really a hopeless case.

Yan Fei paid attention to the actions of these family representatives while looking towards the gate.

There is another one, but he has not appeared yet.
