"No, no, Your Highness, your seat is over here, I'll take you there."
"Wait." Sophia stopped and looked at the guard, raising her chin slightly with an air of arrogance. "Is there my favorite cushion on that table? Is there my favorite toy? Yes..."
Sophia bombarded the guard with a barrage of questions, leaving him utterly bewildered and repeatedly apologizing.
The female official following beside her tugged at Sophia's skirt, signaling her to stop. Displaying such an image in front of all the councilors at this moment was not a good thing to do.
"Your Highness, please have a seat. I will bring you what you requested in a moment."
...
On the second floor, Chu Xinglin and He Yu watched this scene quietly. Chu Xinglin was somewhat confused by Su Feiya's tactics. By doing this, she was only pushing the current councilors toward Lu Yulan. Once the heir was determined, she would be in trouble...
Could there be some kind of twist here? Looking at the cold and aloof He Yu, he didn't have much interaction with him, but the He family should be firmly committed to protecting the Empress.
"Young Master He Yu, who will you vote for on behalf of the He family later?"
He Yu didn't even move his head, still quietly watching Sophia throw a tantrum below.
"No need to call me young master. Who will you vote for? In the usual way of doing things, like the Chu family, you vote for Sophia, and your father votes for Lu Yulan?"
Although Tsuruha spoke in a question, his tone was very decisive. It has to be said that the youngest leader of the Control Yuan is indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Chu Xinglin gently curved his lips into a smile. "As you know, although StarNet is powerful, it is ultimately just a business. What a business does is just a matter of what you in power say."
He Yu listened but did not speak further, only to see that new developments had already occurred below.
The old minister, who was holding the meeting, wiped the sweat dripping from his bald head.
"Your Highness, what did you say?"
Sophia leaned back lazily in the chair, then took off her shoes, looking like she was about to go to sleep.
“I said, Mother is unwell and cannot attend the meeting. Anyway, it has nothing to do with her. The choice is the successor, right?”
"Let's get started. I'm going to have afternoon tea later."
The Grand Secretary felt sweat not only on his head but also on his back. Was the Empress about to give up, or was she brewing some other big move?
Never mind, in the end, the Su family's affairs are only treated with more caution because the Su family is royalty, so it doesn't really matter.
He didn't come up with this.
"Since Your Highness says so, then I will go and announce the voting rules, and then we will begin."
Sophia waved her hand impatiently, "Let's begin. Everyone here is an idiot, so let's skip the voting rules and get to the point."
"This..." The Grand Secretary was somewhat helpless. After all, this was the election of the next successor, and it shouldn't be treated so lightly. After all, the princess was still too young.
On the second floor, He Yu looked at Sophia's feet, size 34, which was a bit too small, as was her height.
He Yu's gaze was too direct, and Sophia felt it. She retorted, but when she saw it was He Yu, she was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, turned back, and continued to lie down and rest with her eyes closed.
He Yu looked at the voting rights in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then chose...
