After that, Ruan Tang began to work under the Queen, attended various official duties of the royal family, and suddenly became active in Diaz's aristocratic circle.
In fact, many nobles named Dias were surprised.
Although Ruan Tang was called the Duchess and was quite favored by Austin, she was actually just a reproductive tool. In their eyes, the Duke Austin was a dying man who was about to be cooked by the emperor.
Although Austin is notorious in the Imperial Star and everyone is afraid of him, not many people actually take him seriously.
People were afraid of his power and had to avoid his edge. At the same time, no one breathed a sigh of relief without telling themselves not to bother with a dying man.
As for Ruan Tang, although everyone was afraid of Austin and was respectful to him on the surface, in fact, no one took him seriously in private.
At this moment, Ruan Tang has won the favor of the Queen, and is showing signs of leaping from a reproductive tool to the Queen's confidant. Following the people of the Queen's faction, she begins to get involved in public affairs and the core of power and attends various public events. However, the charity dinner scene is different.
Although in everyone's eyes, Austin is a discarded pawn who will be abandoned no matter who reaches the top...but the queen holds this great power. The emperor and the queen have been fighting for so many years, and everyone knows that the emperor hates the queen, but he cannot touch her. Due to the pressure from the queen's family, he can only endure and compromise.
Although the crown prince is dead now, the queen still has the eldest son, the Duke of Austin, who can give birth to a crown prince for her...
When the emperor and empress fight each other in the future, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
"Dr. Ruan..." Because of this, many people in the Imperial Star aristocratic circle looked up to Ruan Tang. They no longer called Ruan Tang Duchess, but instead called him Dr. Ruan.
Even though Ruan Tang has left the First Research Institute, the identity of Duchess only represents that he is just an appendage of a duke, while the honorific title of Dr. Ruan represents that they see him as a person.
"Oh, dear Dr. Ruan, you look so beautiful tonight." The noble ladies dressed in jewels and precious stones came forward and greeted Ruan Tang very warmly, as if they were familiar with each other. It was many times more intimate than the distant and respectful attitude in the past.
Because of the change in these people's attitudes, Ruan Tang once again realized the coldness and reality of this circle. But he didn't show it at all, and he could still chat and laugh with them: "I dare not compare with you, you are the real radiant one..."
He was just starting to get involved in official duties and the core of upper-class communication in this circle, and he knew that he still had a lot to learn, so he always maintained a humble attitude and spent his time observing people's words and expressions.
Ruan Tang thought that although the Queen agreed to give him a chance, she would not actually help him much. He had to learn all the rules and the handling of official business by himself, secretly observing from the Queen's confidants and slowly figuring out how to get on the right track.
After all, in his eyes, the people around the queen were all foxes who had practiced for thousands of years. No matter who he was, they would not be happy to see him snatch their job opportunities and seize their position in the queen's heart... In Ruan Tang's original prediction, these people should respect him on the surface, but not take him seriously in their hearts. They would not be happy to see him grow up, and would trip him up behind his back or even stab him in the back.
Therefore, Ruan Tang has always been cautious and vigilant, trying to quietly absorb knowledge from their behavior and enrich herself.
Unexpectedly, there were a few old people here who seemed to have been advised by others. They were very honest with him and taught him a lot of really practical things, which saved Ruan Tang from taking a lot of wrong paths...
If Ruan Tang didn't know what kind of person the Queen was, he would almost think that the Queen was targeting his own son.
That's why the old man around him who had cultivated to the level of a spirit would support him like this.
In the Dias Empire, every noble family has many alpha children. From birth, they are destined to compete for the resources and power in the family. The successful ones will get the best resources and most of the assets in the family, while the losers can only stay away from the core of power. Even alphas have to be used as tools to marry into the family, exchange interests, and serve the most successful leader.
The Ruan family had surprisingly many children, more than twenty in total, and the fights among them were extremely brutal.
Although Ruan Tang was not favored and his identity as an omega kept him away from disputes, he had always been a bystander, learning from everything. In addition, he was naturally studious, so he had some understanding of this matter.
Coupled with the Ruan Ming genes in her bones, Ruan Tang learned this aspect very quickly.
It didn't take long for Ruan Tang to show his edge in the Queen's sphere of influence with the help of several old people who were inexplicably kind to him, and displayed his amazing abilities and talents, like a rising star or a sharp blade just out of its sheath.
The Queen and everyone in her sphere of influence could not ignore him.
Originally, few people in the Queen's faction took Ruan Tang seriously, but after Ruan Tang really showed his amazing abilities, many people began to have different ideas.
The Queen's network of influence is also a small world, and everyone is fighting for the position of being the most favored person around the Queen.
As soon as Ruan Tang arrived, he took away so many of their resources, which immediately made many people unhappy. They all tested Ruan Tang with their own ideas, trying to find a weakness in him, break him, and shoot him down.
There were even people with ulterior motives who went to Austin to spread rumors and stir up trouble.
After all, the strained relationship between Duke Austin and the Queen was well known, and Ruan Tang was Austin's favorite lady.
Although it was well known that he was the reproductive tool given to Austin by the Queen, after all, those transactions were only between the Ruan family and the Queen. Ruan Tang and the Queen seemed to have very little contact with each other in order to avoid suspicion...
But now Ruan Tang is thriving within the Queen's sphere of influence. What is Austin thinking? Will he dislike Ruan Tang because of this?
Thinking of this, all those who disliked Ruan Tang began to look forward to it -
"Your Excellency the Duke, your Madam has been very close to the Queen lately, and they get along very well. Our status in her Majesty's heart is almost surpassing ours." The congressman, who had official business to deal with Austin, ran up to Austin and said something casually.
At least half of Ruan Tang's current success is due to the favor that Austin has for him. If he loses Austin's favor, even if he is doing well in the Queen's camp now, he will probably be too busy to take care of other things, right?
I thought Austin would be furious after hearing this, but he listened to the congressman's words and said as if it was a matter of course: "Isn't it normal to be compared to you? My wife is so beautiful, isn't she much more popular than an old piece of meat like you."
Member of Parliament: “…”
Is this what he meant?
The congressman who was responsible for sowing discord was suddenly stuck. After a long pause, he regained his composure and said, "But being close to Her Majesty the Queen is a good thing, but as an omega, it is your duty to take care of your family and your alpha, especially since Dr. Ruan is also a duchess... Your Excellency, don't you agree?"
"Madam is doing very well in the circle now, but she even spends less time at home, which is a bit unworthy... Those who know her think that she wants to share the worries of Her Majesty the Queen, while those who don't may think that she is so sociable because she wants to find a new alpha." He was confident that he was familiar with Austin, and immediately spoke in a tone that was very considerate of Austin.
He thought he was very proud in front of the Queen, and he was also very popular in front of Auston, so he was not that afraid of Auston, and thought that Auston would not do anything to him...
"How dare you! How can my omega tolerate your criticism? We have a good relationship, do you need a straight-A cancer to meddle in other people's business?" Unexpectedly, Auston, who was so friendly a second ago, heard him talking about Ruan Tang in a veiled way, and suddenly flew into a rage, and suddenly overturned the table: "He said he wanted to change to an alpha... Aren't you cursing me to be a mortal man?"
He knew what this person wanted to do, and he also knew that Ruan Tang came in halfway and it would not be easy for her to squeeze into that circle.
Therefore, he wanted to use this person as an example to scare the monkeys and establish Ruan Tang's power.
It would be easier for Ruan Tang to climb up by stepping on his shoulders.
The congressman had never seen Austin so angry before, and his face turned pale with fear: "Sir, I..."
He clearly wanted to say something bad about Ruan Tang and had no intention of saying anything bad about Auston. How could Auston misinterpret it like this?
"Someone, drag him away and break his legs!" But Auston didn't even give him a chance, and used the adjective "moody" to the extreme, saying in a cold voice.
The congressman was so scared that he screamed, "My Lord, that's not what I meant. I am the Queen's man and you can't do this to me..."
"If he's the Queen's man, then both his legs will be broken!" Austin said nonchalantly.
The punishments were carried out by robots in the Duke of Austin's Palace. No one paid any attention to him and just dragged him away from Austin.
All those who are unhappy with Ruan Tang are waiting for good news from the person who fanned the flames in front of Austin, hoping that Austin can suppress Ruan Tang's arrogance.
Unexpectedly, Austin broke the legs of the man who came to him and spoke ill of Ruan Tang, and threw him out of the Duke's Mansion.
Afterwards, Austin still doted on Ruan Tang.
The people who were waiting to watch the show almost fainted and kept asking how could this be possible?
At this time, shouldn't Duke Austin be disgusted with Ruan Tang, hate Ruan Tang, retaliate against him severely, or even kill him to feel satisfied?
The Queen is the person that Duke Austin hates the most. Now that Ruan Tang has become the Queen's person, why doesn't Austin hate her too? Still protecting him like this.
Sure enough, this madman's thought process is different from that of normal people.
Everyone was extremely surprised. They didn't expect that Austin's obsession with Ruan Tang had reached such an extent. At the same time, they admired Ruan Tang's ability to control her alpha.
It is really not easy to make that madman Austin obey him to such an extent.
After hearing this, the Queen not only did not show any honor to her congressman whose legs were broken by Austin, but she became more satisfied with Ruan Tang and looked at him differently.
She just likes this kind of smart and capable omega.
As an omega, being able to control his alpha to this extent is also a manifestation of ability in the eyes of the queen.
