"The Seventh Prince truly deserves to be the most beloved child of His Majesty and the Queen. The scale of this engagement banquet is much grander than that of the previous princes. It seems that His Majesty will soon appoint a crown prince."
Bai Li looked at the emperor and queen of the empire in front of him, who were looking at the seventh prince and Meiya with loving eyes, and an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Yin Yi beside him didn't react, Bai Li leaned in front of him and whispered again, "Do you think our Seventh Prince can successfully become the Crown Prince?"
Yin Yi lowered his eyes and looked at him without saying anything.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doesn't the emperor have seven children? Why does he favor the ugliest one the most? Is it because he's the youngest?"
Isn't it a situation that only ordinary families have in which the eldest son and grandson suffer from the loss of their vital organs?
Shouldn't it be normal that the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love their youngest son?
Why is this emperor so...down-to-earth?
“Puff.”
Yu Rou couldn't help laughing when she heard Jiang Wan's blunt words, then explained, "Of course not. The reason why His Majesty and the Queen dote on the Seventh Prince the most is, firstly, because of his beast form, and secondly, because he has regressed to his ancestral form."
"Beast form? Atavism?"
"Yes." Yu Rou nodded. "The Seventh Prince is the only one in the past three generations of the royal family whose beast form is black. Our empire has always respected black, so as the only black beast form in the royal family in recent generations, the Seventh Prince is not only the most beloved child of His Majesty and the Queen, but also the most beloved descendant of the entire royal family elders.
As for atavism, you've seen that the Seventh Prince's appearance is a bit... uh, a bit unattractive. This is because he looks very similar to the ancient ancestors recorded in ancient books. The elders believe this is a phenomenon of atavism and believe that the Seventh Prince will be the most outstanding orc in the modern royal family of the Mingxi Empire.
Jiang Wan fell into deep silence as he looked at the seventh prince who looked like a monkey.
Looking closely, this guy really looks like the primitive man in her textbook when she was a child.
But aren't they interstellar?
How could they look like primitive people on Earth?
While Jiang Wan was stunned, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Yin Yi, is this your female? Why don't you introduce her to the brothers?"
Jiang Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two men who looked somewhat similar to Yin Yi standing opposite Yin Yi, their curious eyes constantly cast towards Jiang Wan.
The two seemed to be worried about scaring Jiang Wan. When they saw Jiang Wan looking at them, they quickly looked away and pretended to chat with Yin Yi.
"Big brother, second brother, when did you come back?"
When Yin Yi saw that his two brothers were also here, a hint of surprise flashed in his usually calm eyes.
These two people left the Imperial Star after they became adults and rarely came back. Why did they come back together this time?
"Not only us, the fourth and fifth brothers have also returned. Look, they are over there."
Yin Yi's eldest brother Mu Bai raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the stage, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Must I come back? Our father's most precious child is getting engaged, and we, his brothers, must come back to celebrate with him."
The emperor of Mingxi Empire married two queens in total. One was a female from the Bai family, who gave birth to three children. The eldest was Mu Bai, whose beast form was a giant white snake. The second was Lan Ling, whose beast form was a giant blue snake. The third was Yin Yi.
When Yin Yi was three years old, their mother fell ill and died.
A year later, the emperor married a half-orc from the monkey tribe as queen and gave birth to the next four children.
It’s just that the seven brothers were divided into two factions since childhood and they disliked each other.
They were all his own children. Even though they didn't get along with each other, they were his own children after all. His Majesty the Emperor treated them equally.
However, ever since Yin Yi transformed into a strange beast form at the age of six, the emperor's heart was completely tilted due to the queen's whispering and the influence of other branches of the royal family who identified him as an ominous person who would bring disaster to the royal family.
First, he directly disregarded the relationship between father and son and removed Yin Yi, who had just turned six years old, from the family tree and drove him out of the royal family. Later, he became more and more dissatisfied with his eldest son and second son, and suppressed them many times.
Mu Bai and Lan Ling already had complaints against their father because of their brother's affairs, and later they became dissatisfied with the emperor's suppression. The relationship between father and son completely reached a freezing point.
They didn't understand why their father, who once loved them, became like this. They also didn't know that there is an old saying on Earth that goes, "If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather."
After they became adults, they left the Imperial Star and settled on a planet under their own name. Over the years, except for getting married and occasionally coming back to see their younger brother, the two brothers were reluctant to return to the Imperial Star.
"It's just an engagement, but they've made such a big fuss. It looks like we'll have to call Old Seven a different name soon."
Lan Ling glanced at the complacent Hei Yu coldly and said disdainfully, "We've known this for a long time, isn't it? What's there to be surprised about? The worst that can happen is that we won't come back."
"Exactly. We're more comfortable in our own place. By the way, Yin Yi, why didn't you tell us about your partner registration? If I hadn't seen the interstellar headlines on Starnet, I wouldn't have known about it."
Mu Bai punched Yin Yi lightly, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "Tell me, is this appropriate? As a brother, you actually found out about your brother's partner registration from the Internet. I heard that this female was found by you on Muduo Star. What's going on? Tell us."
"Big brother, second brother, this is my partner Jiang Wan, Wan Wan, this is my big brother Mu Bai, second brother Lan Ling."
Mu Bai:......
Lan Ling: ...
Is that it, over?
"Hello, big brother and second brother."
Jiang Wan smiled and greeted her two brothers generously.
"Um, hello, hello."
Mu Bai and Lan Ling didn't expect that their brother's female was so beautiful and had such a good personality. They suddenly felt a little at a loss. After greeting each other hesitantly, they rummaged through their pockets for a long time and each took out a beautiful crystal and handed it to Jiang Wan.
"I'm sorry to meet you in such a hurry. This is our gift to you. I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Wan looked at the volleyball-sized crystals in the two men's hands and was curious about how they were able to carry such large crystals on their bodies.
"Of course not. These crystals are very beautiful. I like them very much. Thank you, big brother and second brother."
The two of them felt relieved when they saw that Jiang Wan really liked them.
"Big cousin, second cousin, why did you only give Xiaoyi's partner a gift, but not my partner?"
Bai Li saw that the three brothers had finished reminiscing about the past, and the two elder brothers had also met Yin Yi's partner, then he came over with his own partner in his arms, jokingly asking for gifts for his partner.
