Auntie?

She is only a little over 100 years old.

She looks like she's in her thirties or forties; everyone who sees her calls her a beauty.

As expected, Bo Jichen's daughter is just like him—sharp-tongued, rude, and annoying.

Now that Bo Jichen is away, we should teach this rude girl a lesson.

A malice flashed in Elder Anlia's eyes, and she reminded Jiang Si with a stern face: "Your Highness, are you drunk? Let me reintroduce myself to you. I am Elder Anlia."

“Your father, your aunt, His Majesty the Emperor, and Marshal Agares all have to call me Elder. You really don’t know the proper etiquette.”

"But it doesn't matter. You don't have a mother, and General Bo Jichen is a notorious dog. I don't think he has ever properly taught you anything. Now I will teach you what real royal etiquette and rules are."

Jiang Si glanced at her indifferently, then thrust her empty wine glass in front of Shu Xubai: "Another glass, it tastes just like the ones I remember."

Shu Xubai resignedly took out the wine, filled her glass, and reminded her, "53 degrees, take it easy."

Anlia: "..."

Do they really know each other?

And you seem very familiar with it?

His Excellency Shu Xubai seems to dote on her.

It's an illusion, isn't it?

This eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl couldn't possibly have a five or six-year-old child.

First, it is not allowed by law.

Second: Twelve- or thirteen-year-old girls are not mature enough to be nurtured in a nursery.

Third: No matter how much of a scoundrel Bo Jichen is, he is known for protecting his own. If you cross his line and anger him, he will bite you like a mad dog and won't let go.

If that Jiang Jiang who looks like the girl in front of her is really the girl's biological child, then even if the richest man in the Fourth Civilization doesn't die, he will be severely injured by Bo Jichen, losing limbs and being skinned alive.

Therefore, there must be something she doesn't know, and she needs to figure it out in order to easily manipulate Bo Jichen and his daughter, and to curry favor with the Fourth Civilization.

Recently, the Council of Elders and the Council of Councilors have been losing their voice. His Majesty, Bo Jichen, the Empress, and Agares have become increasingly powerful, and the entire empire is almost becoming a matter of their own opinion.

These elders and council members are being suppressed by this family to the point of near marginalization, and there are constant negative news reports that they can't suppress. How can they tolerate this?

Jiang Si, holding a full glass of white wine, looked at An Liya and said, "Auntie, please continue. What kind of rules and what kind of upbringing do you have?"

An Liya's heart skipped a beat, but with so many people watching behind her, she couldn't afford to lose face, especially since she was just a teenage girl. Without Bo Jichen by her side, she was nothing.

Anlia cleared her throat and said with an air of importance, "Before I continue, Your Highness should apologize to His Excellency Shu Xubai to avoid any rift in the diplomatic relations between our two countries, which would put His Majesty and the Empress in a difficult position."

Jiang Si, holding a glass of white wine, stood up, drank half of it, walked up to An Liya, and asked softly, "Elder An Liya, you're really boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own. Come, tell me, what makes you think I would apologize?"

The scent of herbs and wood emanating from the little girl, mixed with the aroma of the wine in her hand, gave Anlia a fleeting illusion that her aggressive spiritual power had retracted under the influence of these two scents.

She then denied that her raging mental state, collapsing genes, and inability to raise children were defects that could be cured by no one except Lord Gongming and the newly promoted 7th-level plant healer.

Unfortunately, she couldn't invite one of them, and the other was missing and couldn't be found. Otherwise, her mental strength and broken genes could be treated, and she would have a child.

Anlia lowered her voice, "Your Highness, your father has grown old. He is no longer the spirited general he was more than ten years ago, capable of fighting space pirates and guarding the planet Col."

"He now lives at the mercy of His Majesty and has to watch the Empress's face. You are his daughter. Your arrogance offends the Fourth Civilization. Even if His Majesty and the Empress like you very much, they will not break with the Fourth Civilization for your sake."

"Marshal Agares already has a princess consort. Even if the vast majority of the empire's people ship you and the Marshal, you can't possibly marry Marshal Agares. So be sensible. 'Your Highness' is just a title to tease you; it's not a real royal title that grants you any real power."

Jiang Si suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I never would have guessed that the Troia Empire had become so powerful. Agares risked his life abroad to create you, a group of elite Fourth Civilizations."

Anlia's face darkened: "Your Highness, you must be careful with your words. The Council of Elders and the Council of Councilors are all for the sake of the Empire, and they will not tolerate your slander."

"You're really taking advantage of your age, letting yourself have all the talk. That's not good." Jiang Si raised her wine glass, poured half of it over An Liya's head, and said, "Come on, wake up! Don't be a spineless coward. You like to kneel on the ground and talk to people with your head held high."

Anlia's expression changed abruptly, and she immediately launched a counterattack, but her mental energy seemed to be suppressed, preventing her from exerting any power at all.

Half a glass of wine was poured over.

With a bang.

Jiang Si casually smashed the beautiful, transparent glass in her hand onto An Liya's forehead. Glass shards flew everywhere, but not a single piece hit An Liya.

Anlia's forehead was smashed open, and blood flowed down her forehead, blurring her vision.

Behind Anlia, in the conference hall, the elders began to criticize Jiang Si, one after another.

“Your Highness, you are merely the daughter of General Bo Jichen, not a true princess of the royal family. His Majesty's affection for you is out of consideration for the Empress.”

"Today is the arrival of the Great Witch of the Fourth Civilization and His Majesty of the Zerg. His Majesty and the Queen have already bestowed upon you the great honor of sending you to greet them at the state banquet. They have also intended to cultivate you by having you attend the state banquet and chat with them. Yet you have shown disrespect to His Excellency Shu Xubai. How can the normal diplomatic relations between our two countries continue?"

"That's right, Your Highness. Elder Anlia was doing all this for your own good, for the good of the Troya Empire. Yet you injured her. How heartbroken His Majesty and the Empress will be if they find out!"

“Your Highness, Your Highness, your manners and upbringing are appalling. It is a great disappointment for the royal family to have someone like you. Apologize now, apologize to Elder Anlia and Lord Shu Xubai.”

Jiang Si exhaled and glanced at Shu Xubai beside her: "Do you need me to apologize to you?"

Shu Xubai swirled his liquor, exuding an arrogant and wicked charm: "I wouldn't dare. You'll need to come with me. By the way, could I do you a favor for these beautiful women and handsome men of the Troia Empire?"

Everyone in the Elder Council and the Council looked at him in unison: "What is it?"

Shu Xu pointed at Jiang Si with his white hand: "Don't make her apologize to me. Just make her marry me and come with me, and I won't hold anything against you."

"A marriage alliance?" An elderly man with white hair, full of energy and shrewdness in his eyes, asked from the Elders' Council, "Your Excellency Shu Xubai wants to form a marriage alliance with our young prince. Could it be that your son, Jiang Jiang, is really our young prince's child?"
