Minister Liao's dignified face was solemn and serious, and his voice was calm: "His Majesty values ​​her highly. You must control the public opinion."

"Minister Liao, rest assured! We understand." The editor-in-chief, who had been full of confidence, became even more nervous upon seeing the minister's serious expression. "I will definitely keep a close eye on things!"

Minister Liao nodded slightly.

Unlike outsiders, he knew more inside information. The higher-ups had already confirmed the authenticity and practicality of the dagger and valued that "Miss Yang" highly—otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many important figures over as soon as the news was released.

The relationship between the Feng family and the royal family is actually quite good. Besides political and economic considerations, and their clear goal of following the country and always being politically correct, an important point is that the young master of the Feng family also has an excellent personal relationship with the crown prince.

They were so close that if the Crown Prince were to get married one day, one of his best men would definitely be the young master of the Feng family.

As soon as the dagger was delivered to the Feng family headquarters, Young Master Feng reported it to the royal family. The royal family sent researchers to study it and confirmed the dagger's authenticity. However, despite doing a lot of analysis, they still couldn't figure out its forging principle.

Therefore, everyone's attention was focused on this "Miss Yang".

—At all costs, we must sincerely persuade them to stay in the Empire and serve the country. As long as their requests no longer endanger the Galactic Empire, we will agree to everything!

These are the conditions proposed by the royal family—it's safe to say they have no bottom line!

Minister Liao comes from a political family in the Imperial Star System and has a good personal relationship with the Emperor. He even held the Crown Prince when he was a child. If he had the nerve to say it, he could be considered the Crown Prince's elder.

He left the house with a stern face. As he stepped out the door, a clear sound of his subordinates letting out a sigh of relief could be heard from inside the house behind him. Clearly, they hadn't dared to relax at all while he was there.

Minister Liao gave a soft hum, but a sly glint flashed across his face.

Sigh, the serious, rigid, and iron-fisted boss persona is just for show for subordinates.

Actually...

His high position and great power don't stop him from being mischievous in private.

Absolutely, the Emperor's promise to give Miss Yang far exceeds what he described.

The most important point was made privately by the emperor; Minister Liao didn't tell anyone.

That's how the emperor started it.

"...She'll agree to anything, no matter the cost. Hmm, the Feng family reported that she's a young and beautiful girl? And single, right? Cough, Lao Liao, do you think she'd agree if we offered Xuan Ting as a reward?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Minister Liao was stunned.

The emperor was deeply worried: "That brat Xuan Ting has no chance of finding a partner on his own, but I don't want to be a greasy middle-aged father who nags me about marriage every year. You are his uncle, so I can entrust the task of getting him to go on blind dates to you."

Minister Liao was shocked.

What's going on?!

What's going on?!

Is this some kind of male seduction tactic, using even the Crown Prince as a target?!

And if His Majesty doesn't want to be a greasy middle-aged father who urges his son to get married every year, then can he become a greasy middle-aged matchmaker uncle?

He's clearly a handsome middle-aged man who's very popular with young girls!

He doesn't want to be a matchmaker!

Minister Liao gave a soft snort.

Being a matchmaker is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime. I don't know how to pimp either. The only way I can make a living is by secretly taking pictures of young girls and sending them to the Crown Prince...
