Chapter 70
Although the four have not arrived yet, the news that they will attend the ball has been posted on the account by the official spokesperson of the royal family. How can this not make those men and women excited?
Elena looked at many people at the banquet, whispering about what happened that day, their eyes full of curiosity, and she felt a little proud.
After all, even if all the people present were added together, they couldn't tell for sure, and no one knew as much as she did.
As she thought about this, she accepted the attentive service from other friends.
A girl with a round face approached Elena and said in a flattering manner.
"Okay, Alina, just tell us what happened after the live broadcast ended that day? And did Ye Wangxing really follow them..."
As the girl spoke, she started making faces at Elena. Her cute face suddenly looked a little vulgar.
The others echoed this, showing their puppy eyes and looking at Elena pleadingly.
They all knew who the ex-boyfriends of those people were, so when problems arose during the live broadcast, the audience in the live broadcast room was in chaos while they remained calm.
They even looked at Woden with ridicule, like a young boy who had never seen the world and screamed in shock because of a few words.
——Until the information revealed in the live broadcast room exceeded the amount of information they knew.
Elina looked at her friends' pleading eyes and felt the strength of the massage on her body. Finally, she raised her chin and mercifully told them the follow-up of the live broadcast.
Ye Wangxing never came to the project office since he took over the job. And when he took over the job that day, the kiss marks on his body were confirmed to be real. Elena was happy to talk about it, and her friends were also shocked when they heard it.
"...I wonder why those girls were photographed these days wearing clothes that could have appeared on the cover of a magazine."
The girl murmured.
It seems like they are competing with each other for beauty!
After the girl came to her senses, she looked at the men and women who were full of fighting spirit at the scene with pity in her eyes.
However, the officials and men and women from celebrities' families present did not feel disappointed. Instead, they looked at the four golden bachelors over there, their eyes exuding fighting spirit.
The atmosphere of the dance party began to become tense due to the fighting spirit of these men and women. Although they were still talking to others, their eyes were always fixed on the door.
Judging from the time, those four are about to enter.
After a while, a group of people appeared at the door. The eyes of all the men and women present lit up immediately, and then...
They saw the Chancellor of the Exchequer entering the banquet with his wife.
Their two children followed behind them.
Although the eldest son of the Ye family was also one of the wealthy sons-in-law and the family atmosphere of the Chancellor of Finance was very normal, the men and women present still sighed.
"well……"
Chancellor of the Exchequer:?
The sighs from so many people made the Chancellor of Finance, who had just arrived at the banquet, look confused. Fortunately, he quickly figured out the situation, which made him feel a little amused.
“These young people are really good.”
The Chancellor of Finance smiled and shook his head while talking to the Deputy Minister, when he saw his youngest son running happily towards Prince Warden.
——As usual, Ye Bai chased after Prince Woden as soon as he arrived at the banquet.
However, due to the Crown Prince's recent temper, he did not go up immediately, but just looked at Woden with a sad look.
Combined with his delicate, doll-like face, everyone around him looked at Woden with condemnation.
Anyway, in the interstellar age, the emperor can at most deny an official's score through the main brain. Does he want to take their lives?
That is absolutely impossible. In the interstellar age, every person is very precious. Even the emperor cannot deprive people of their lives at will. Since life cannot be deprived, and there is no need to worry about the current emperor making things difficult for people because of a glance, then why don't they condemn Woden?
So even though veins on Warden's fists were bulging, he could only hug his female companion and not even look at Ye Bai.
The Minister of Finance, however, was too lazy to look at Ye Bai's masochistic look.
He knew that it was impossible to call Ye Bai back now, so it would be better to let him stay with Prince Woden. After all, there were so many people at the scene, and Prince Woden would definitely not dare to make a move against Ye Bai. He had caused such a big incident before, and now was the time to win back the hearts of the people.
The finance minister thought numbly. But when he turned his gaze to his eldest son who was standing behind him and looked well-behaved, he did not feel relieved.
On the contrary, he instantly became nervous.
Because he remembered something.
——The four men will be here tonight, so my son won’t get into trouble, right?
The Finance Minister's face suddenly became tense when he thought of this. Under the puzzled gaze of his eldest son, he looked at the people coming and going around him and the drones taking pictures. He did not dare to discuss the matter of the four men with his son.
We can only pray hard that these four people are busy during this period and don’t watch the live broadcast from a while ago.
Just as the Chancellor of Finance was praying, another figure walked in front of the open door of the banquet hall.
This time the crowd was not so nervous, but they still glanced over here out of the corner of their eyes.
And this time their expectations were not in vain.
The moment they saw the person coming, many men and women sighed.
"...He is indeed the sexiest man in the entire empire."
The man was tall, about 1.9 meters tall, like a walking hormone fortress.
He was wearing a dark grey suit, which was neatly cut like the streamline of a battleship, and perfectly fit his amazing figure. With broad shoulders and narrow waist, the muscle lines that were faintly visible under the clothes when he walked gave him a sense of power ready to go, as if he could charge into the interstellar battlefield in the next second.
His tight waist contains amazing explosive power, and his trousers with waist-hugging design perfectly outline his perky buttocks and straight long legs.
His deep green eyes were like a python hunting, but in the blink of an eye they were like a spring of springtime love. His eyes were full of naked teasing.
The most eye-catching thing is the golden snake ring on the index finger. The snake's body is coiled, and the scales are carved intricately. It reflects a mysterious luster under the light and is rubbed to a very bright finish. It is obvious at first glance that it is the owner's favorite.
Everyone was amazed at Admiral Otas's attire today, but Martha frowned.
She always felt that something was wrong, so she said to Alina, "...Why does he seem so coquettish today?"
Elina looked at Martha in confusion and said, "Is there any day when Admiral Otas is not in a bad mood?"
“…That’s right.”
Martha frowned and nodded, but she still felt something was not right.
Just as she was organizing her words to speak, her other friends interrupted her.
They said in great shock.
"...Why do you think Admiral Otas is always so hot-tempered every day?"
Elina and Martha fell silent at the same time.
Yes, when did this impression come about?
"…Maybe it's because I only read three pages of the contract that day."
Elina said solemnly.
And Martha nodded along with her.
Other friends:?
But before other friends could ask, Martha seemed to have thought of something, and she gestured and spoke.
"I remember now. His rage before wasn't very aggressive, but today it feels like his hormones are stirring..."
Before Martha could finish her words, they saw Admiral Otas, who was emitting hormones, seemed to have seen someone and moved in one direction without hesitation.
——Then they saw this person standing right in front of the Chancellor’s family.
The Chancellor looked like he was about to faint, but his wife remained calm and exchanged greetings with Admiral Otas.
Admiral Otas actually suppressed his hormones and performed the ceremony in a rare formal manner.
——Then he moved closer to the eldest young master of the Ye family who was standing beside him.
The hormones that had just been restrained were released without reservation, bombarding the eldest young master of the Ye family.
Alina watched as the young man blushed.
Admiral Otas seemed very satisfied with the result he had created. With a faint smirk on his thin lips, he leaned close to the young man's ear and whispered a few words before they hugged each other.
——The young man is almost ripe.
Fortunately, Admiral Otas seemed to have finally remembered the occasion and did not do anything overly excessive. After ending the hug that wrapped the young man's entire body in his arms, he lightly touched the back of the other's hand with his fingers before leaving.
He even gave her a meaningful look.
Elina watched Admiral Otas complete this series of actions before leaving: ...
"You're right, he's really hot tonight."
Elina looked at the young man with a shocked expression, whose blush had not yet faded, and said to Martha beside her.
Martha regained her composure. She had a feeling that there would be a big show tonight.
"Be prepared, my friends, this is going to be a sleepless night."
However, although Martha and Elina have defined Admiral Otas, only people like Elina who know the truth would find his actions ambiguous.
People who don't know the truth will only wonder when the eldest master of the Ye family had contact with Admiral Otas.
After all, Admiral Otas's actions were all within the social scope, even the hug was just a quick touch and then a walk away.
The blush on the young man's face was even more normal - who wouldn't blush when being hugged by Admiral Otas?
However, soon these people, not knowing whether they really believed it or were hypnotizing themselves, felt that something was wrong with the young man.
——After all, why did all the protagonists in the scandal run to the eldest son of the Chancellor of Finance as soon as they came in?
The second person to come in was Lord Samos.
The air around him seemed to have cooled down a few degrees when he came in. He was tall and dressed in an iron-gray suit that wrapped his body, with minimal lines and no unnecessary decorations. The fabric was stiff and matte, with a sense of alienation that kept people away, which matched his usual cold aura.
His hair was combed back neatly, revealing a smooth and full forehead, without a single strand out of place, which made him look even more stern and serious.
However, Lord Semos, who was so serious, seemed to melt away like ice and snow when he came in front of the eldest son of the Minister of Finance, and even had a smile on his face.
...There was even a hint of pity in his beautiful cat eyes.
And when Lord Semios pestered - even those who didn't know the truth felt that this word was not used incorrectly - the young master of the Chancellor's family talked for a long time, his face returned to that cold look when he turned and left.
Now everyone present had some guesses, but unfortunately there are people everywhere who can't read other people's expressions.
——Sir Semos scolded the man who came up to him without any hesitation, and then turned to the people from the research institute.
The contrast between ice and fire stunned the people present, and the scene began to discuss again, but this time their eyes were all on Ye Wangxing.
The marshal didn't notice anything wrong. He was chatting with the Chancellor of Finance. However, he didn't notice that the Chancellor's face began to turn pale.
But what happened next made the Chancellor look more dead than dead.
Fortunately, the arrival of Count Uno made the whole place quiet for a while. He was wearing a dark black custom-made suit tonight, the texture of which was like the finest dark matter in the night sky, silently expressing his nobleness.
The hand-stitched patterns are faintly visible in the light, just like the luxurious edge hidden in restraint. Although he is already forty years old this year, the years have precipitated a mature and charming charm in him. There is no sign of fatigue, only mellow charm.
The dress adopts the classic British peaked lapel design, with neat and strong lines, which perfectly outlines his broad shoulders. The slim waist treatment quietly shows his tight waist, which is not deliberately tight, but reveals the traces of long-term self-discipline.
The trousers on his lower body hung straight, and the trouser legs slightly covered the uppers of his handmade leather shoes. The shoes were polished to a shine. Every step he took was steady and confident, without a trace of panic.
'Perfect British daddy style.'
Ye Wangxing thought to himself, he really didn’t know Yijiu’s aesthetic taste could be so good.
Especially those golden eyes that looked like flowing gold, which made Ye Wangxing feel as if Yijiu appeared in reality.
When Ye Wangxing reacted, his face turned red before Yijiu could do anything.
The Minister of Finance, who had been observing his son from the side, said: ...Could it be that this person is my son's true love?
Just as the Minister of Finance was thinking about it, Count Uno walked towards him, smiled and exchanged a few words, then took Ye Wangxing away on the pretext of taking Ye Wangxing to meet some business partners.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was not unhappy about it. After all, his son was still too young to enter politics. He should at least wait until he was 30 years old and accumulated some experience and understood some aspects of the situation, so that he would not be easily pulled down by others.
Moreover, Count Uno seemed to be a good match for his son.
He looked at his partners with a cold but still polite look, and only when he looked at his own son would his eyes soften instantly.
Moreover, when he was walking through the crowd with his son, he quietly kept Wangxing by his side, blocking the crowd, and even gently asked if he was tired.
It is that he will inadvertently reveal his unquestionable desire for control, but this is also a good thing for Wangxing. Ye's father really doesn't want to hear that his son has a new boyfriend. These four big shots alone are already too much for Ye's father to bear.
but……
"By the way, does Count Uno know how many ex-boyfriends Wangxing has..."
Father Ye said quietly to his wife.
Director Fei, who already knew the truth but had no good solution, looked towards his son with a heavy expression, sighed deeply and said.
“Now we can only pray.”
"Pray that things will resolve smoothly?"
Father Ye asked with some confusion.
Director Fei shook his head, with a fearless expression on his face.
"Pray that the palace can be saved."
Not long after Director Fei finished speaking, all the nobles except the emperor finally arrived at the ball. However, what was a little strange was that Prince Janus was not present.
"His Majesty has arrived—!"
The herald's voice made the people present bow and salute, watching the emperor's skirt pass through the red carpet between them.
And when His Majesty finally sat on the throne, everyone looked up and found out in surprise.
——Prince Janus was standing next to the throne.
The people present lowered their heads and restrained their facial expressions so as not to reveal their surprise, but their eyes were all cast in one direction.
Woden was pursing his lips and looking stiffly at Prince Janus who was standing next to his mother.
He really couldn't understand what was going on. Could it be that his mother really wanted to take action against his position as crown prince?
And her new choice is Prince Janus?
Even when His Majesty the Emperor announced the start of the ball, his expression did not improve.
——Prince Janus ignored his move to come forward and talk, and rushed directly to Ye Wangxing, making his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The people present lost all their joy in attending the party and all looked gloomy as they wondered what was going on.
The people present understood that this was a signal.
A very obvious signal.
They also knew that although the capital planet seemed to be in full bloom during this period, there were undercurrents beneath this peaceful appearance.
It seemed that something happened in the palace before, which led to martial law in the palace. However, neither the common people nor the upper class people had heard the news. They only knew that Prince Woden was beaten by the emperor because of the live broadcast incident.
Afterwards, the emperor removed Woden from his position as if nothing had happened and arranged for a teacher for him to continue his studies.
This made all the nobles unable to figure out the emperor's thoughts. According to common sense, since the prince had made such a big mistake, the emperor would reprimand him loudly and act as if he had punished the prince. This way, he could preserve the royal family's reputation while also making the people feel sympathy for the prince.
But now the emperor did not do so, which made the nobles wonder whether the emperor really thought there was nothing wrong with this public opinion or...
Their Majesty is playing a big game of chess?
The nobles once again looked towards Prince Woden, but Prince Woden's dark complexion made them unconsciously follow his gaze and look in the direction he was looking.
——Then they saw Prince Janus happily circling around the eldest son of the Chancellor of the Finance Ministry.
The nineteen-year-old boy was tall and strong, like a newly grown and agile wolf king. The slim cut of his suit showed off his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His muscular lines were faintly visible under the fabric, revealing the unique power of youth.
The neckline of the dress was open, casually revealing a small patch of wheat-colored skin, and his Adam's apple rolled, full of youthful and seductive male hormones.
It's just that his silly expression, coupled with his clear and stupid glacier-colored eyes, ruins the atmosphere a bit. Fortunately, his figure makes up for it well.
but……
People present always felt that this scene looked familiar.
And this candidate looks familiar...
There were naturally many smart people at this royal banquet, and soon someone figured out the key. So, someone in the crowd spoke in a trembling voice.
"What do you think... the possibility that these four ex-boyfriends are the same person..."
"How big?"
"hiss--"
Everyone who heard this gasped.
They instantly forgot the signal sent by His Majesty the Emperor and began to observe the four people frantically.
But since it was a royal banquet after all, the actions of those four were not that exaggerated.
But the atmosphere between the four still made some timid people sit in a corner of the banquet and dare not come forward.
Zhang Qi was one of them. She only dared to hide in a small corner of the banquet, for fear of being caught up in the weird atmosphere.
Eating melons online is fine, but eating melons offline...
She was really afraid that they would start a fight!
It was not until her cousin came over to pull her away that she reluctantly followed him out of this little corner.
She originally didn't want to come here, after all, she was just a commoner, but unexpectedly, she happened to have an aunt who married into a noble family.
Her aunt had risen to the top purely through her own skills and scheming, and was currently running the company of this aristocratic family.
My aunt is quite happy to support her relatives from her mother's side, hoping that one day they will produce someone as capable as her to support each other so that she can get more resources.
It was thanks to the support of his aunt that Zhang Qi found out about a good opportunity in the group owned by Count Uno. He signed up for it and successfully passed the internship period and stayed.
So this time when her aunt pushed her cousin into the royal banquet, she begged her aunt to help look after her cousin and not let her be harmed by other nobles at the banquet. Naturally, Zhang Qi did not refuse.
However, Zhang Qi did not like this kind of atmosphere, but her cousin was like a fish in water in this situation, which made Zhang Qi sigh that she was worthy of being the child born by her aunt.
"Cousin, why are you here? Come over here and meet some more people."
When the cousin saw her cousin, she hid in the corner of the party and didn't dare to come and meet people, with a look of disappointment on her face.
What a great platform this is! All the top nobles and celebrities in the entire empire are here. Even if you don't want to find someone to marry, you should at least make more connections!
What if this chance encounter comes in handy in the future?
However, when the cousin saw Zhang Qi walking out and staring at the four luminous figures over there, she pulled her and whispered.
"Don't stare at that place. Those people over there are not people we can aspire to be with in our current position."
After Zhang Qi came to his senses, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "How could I possibly have any desire for them? I just saw those people being curious when I was watching the live broadcast before."
The cousin finally breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke.
"Who wouldn't be curious at the scene, especially since they are dressed like this today? We should be honest and not get involved in that vortex. After all, there are so many political issues covered up by scandals."
Zhang Qi nodded quickly, indicating that he was sensible and didn't even dare to move over there, and the cousin was relieved that her cousin was still obedient and at least didn't think about climbing up the social ladder.
She also wanted to recommend her cousin to the prince's circle.
Even though the prince is now showing some signs of decline, the resources he possesses are still unimaginable to ordinary people.
Besides, the prince is a little arrogant, so it is relatively easy to coax him into investing.
Just as my cousin was thinking this, she heard a bang, followed by a commotion.
When the crowd retreated, both Zhang Qi and his cousin were stunned when they saw the scene in the center of the crowd.
Prince Woden was holding an empty glass of wine and pouring it forward.
The person who was splashed with wine by him fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face, with red wine all over his head and body.
His face was tilted to one side, as if he had been hit.
——That was Prince Woden’s fiancé, Ye Bai.
