If that's the case, then his brother is simply guilty.

"Indeed, the princess is quite nice; it would be even better if she weren't my homeroom teacher."

Lu Xiaoyao rested her chin on her hands and said with some annoyance, "Ms. Cheshire seems gentle and kind on the surface, and you also feel that she is very gentle when you first get to know her, but if you try to play tricks on her... sigh~ I am a prime example of what to do!"

Lu Xiaoyao shook her head, appearing as if she wouldn't dwell on the past, but this piqued the curiosity of others. Even Mingmei looked at her, surprised.

Does Lu Xiaoyao still have the cunning to play tricks on Ms. Cheryl?

The afternoon tea time was very short. When Mingmei returned to her dormitory in the evening, the delivery robot at the door had been waiting for a long time. Mingmei received the package, which turned out to be a dress and an invitation.

An invitation to the Imperial National Day banquet.

"What is this?"

After returning to her room, Mingmei carefully examined the invitation, which stated that the invitees were the Minister of Security of Hualan Star Domain and his family.

Mingmei: Huh? ? ?

Which relative of hers holds this position?

Just as she was filled with questions, her second brother, Mei Qiu, who had been out of the public eye for the past few days, called her again via video call.

Then came a bombshell announcement—his brother had indeed left the empire and was no longer a general.

However, his brother returned to Hualan Star, where he not only served as the Minister of the Regional Security Department of Hualan Star, but also as the Commander-in-Chief of the Hualan Star Mech Army.

"Meimei, remember to practice your ballroom dancing! There will be reporters at the banquet that night; it would be embarrassing if you made a fool of yourself!"

Seeing her second brother smiling so brightly in the video call, Mingmei felt a tightness in her chest.

She doesn't know how to ballroom dance.

Who should I train with?

"Second Brother."

"Um?"

"Isn't there anyone else? Why did you invite me to the banquet?"

"You're my sister! There are only three people of the opposite sex in our family, right? Mom's traveling, so it's just you and your sister-in-law. Do you want me to bring her along? Am I a pervert? Or do I have some kind of unspeakable fetish?"

Mingmei fell silent. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but explode: "If you had properly gotten engaged back then, you could have brought Teacher Cheryl with you now! It's all your own doing!"

As she spoke, Mingmei pointed at the screen and said, "How old are you? Why aren't you married yet?"

Now it was Mei Qiu's turn to be speechless. How could his little sister, at such a young age, speak like an elderly person?!
