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 chubby-faced girl came up to 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 to make faces at Elena. Her originally cute face suddenly looked a little vulgar.
The others also echoed it, showing their puppy eyes and looking at Elena with begging expressions.
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 at 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 post. When he took over the post 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'm wondering why those girls, when they were photographed these days, were wearing something that could have graced 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 the celebrities present did not feel disappointed. Instead, they looked at the four golden bachelors over there, their eyes full of 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 immediately lit up, and then...
They saw the Chancellor of Finance entering the banquet hall arm in arm 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 Minister of Finance was normal, the men and women present still sighed.
"well……"
Chancellor of the Exchequer:?
The sighs from so many people made the Finance Minister, 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, they really are."
The Finance Minister 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 bad 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 rating 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 with just a glance, then why don't they condemn Woden?
So even though veins were popping out of Warden's fists, he could only hug his female companion and not even look at Ye Bai.
However, the Minister of Finance 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 on Ye Bai. He had caused such a big incident before, and now was the time to win back the hearts of the people.
The Minister of Finance thought numbly. However, when he turned his attention to his eldest son, who 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 nervous 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 in front of his son.
I 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 wasn't as nervous, but they were still glancing over here out of the corner of their eyes.
And this time their expectations were not disappointed.
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 dressed in a dark grey suit, sharply tailored like the lines of a battleship, perfectly fitting his impressive figure. His broad shoulders and narrow waist revealed the faint muscular lines beneath the fabric as he moved, conveying a sense of power poised to burst forth, as if he were ready to charge into the interstellar battlefield at any moment.
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 on the hunt, but in the blink of an eye they were like a pool of spring water filled with spring love. His eyes were full of naked teasing as they moved.
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 in great detail. It reflects a mysterious luster under the light and is rubbed to a very bright finish. It is obvious that it is the owner's favorite thing.
Everyone was amazed at Admiral Otas's attire today, but Martha frowned.
She always felt that something was wrong, so she said to Elena: "...Why does he seem so coquettish today?"
Elina, however, looked at Martha in confusion and said, "Is there ever a day when Admiral Otas isn't a bit of a spoiled brat?"
“…That’s right.”
Martha frowned and nodded, but she still felt something was wrong.
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 so arrogant 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 deeply.
And Martha nodded along with her.
Other friends:?
But before other friends could ask, Martha seemed to have thought of something and spoke with gestures.
"I remember now. His temper wasn't particularly aggressive before, but today it feels like his hormones are boiling over..."
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 restrained his urge to show some seriousness and completed the ceremony in a rare and serious manner.
——Then he moved closer to the eldest young master of the Ye family.
The hormones that had just been restrained were released without reservation, bombarding the eldest young master of the Ye family.
Elina watched as the young man's face turned red.
Admiral Otas seemed very satisfied with the result he had created. With a subtle 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 extreme. After ending the hug that wrapped the young man's entire body in his body, his fingers lightly touched the back of the other's hand before leaving.
He even gave her a meaningful look.
Elina watched Admiral Otas go through this series of actions before leaving: ...
"You're right, he's really hot tonight."
Elina looked at the young man with a blush on his face that had not yet faded with shock, 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 young master of the Ye family had contact with Admiral Otas.
After all, all of Admiral Otas's actions were within the social scope, even the hug was just a quick touch and then gone.
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, who didn't know 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 cool down several degrees the moment he entered. He stood tall, clad in a steel-gray suit that enveloped him from head to toe, its lines minimal and devoid of any unnecessary ornamentation. The fabric, stiff and matte, had a certain aloofness that reeked of aloofness, fitting his usual aura of coldness.
His hair was combed back neatly, revealing a smooth and full forehead, without a single hair 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 Semos pestered - even those who did not know the truth felt that the word was not used incorrectly - the young master of the Chancellor's family talked for a long time, his face returned to its cold expression as he turned and left.
Now everyone present had some guesses, but unfortunately there are people everywhere who can't read other people's expressions.
——Mr. 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 everyone present, and people started talking about it again, but this time their eyes were all on Ye Wangxing.
The marshal didn't notice anything wrong. He was chatting with the finance minister, but he didn't notice that the finance minister's face began to turn pale.
But what happened next made the Chancellor look more radiant than a dead man.
Fortunately, the arrival of Count Uno brought a moment of silence to the room. He was dressed in a deep black custom-made suit that resembled the finest dark matter in the night sky, silently conveying his nobility.
The hand-sewn patterns appear faintly in the light, just like the luxurious edge hidden in the 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 features a classic British peaked lapel design, with clean, strong lines that perfectly outline his broad shoulders. The slim waist treatment subtly highlights his tight waist, without any deliberate tightness, but revealing the traces of years of self-discipline.
His trousers hung straight down, with the trouser legs slightly covering the uppers of his handmade leather shoes, which 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 think that 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, exchanged a few words with a smile, and then took Ye Wangxing away on the pretext of taking him to meet some business partners.
The Chancellor of Finance was not unhappy about it. After all, his son was still too young to enter politics. He needed to wait until he was at least 30 years old and had accumulated some experience and understood some aspects of the situation before he could be easily pulled down.
Moreover, Count Uno seemed to be a good match for his son.
He looks at his partners with a cold, yet still polite gaze. Only when he looks at his own son does his expression soften instantly.
Moreover, when he was walking through the crowd with his son, he calmly kept Wangxing by his side, blocking the congestion, and would gently ask if he was tired.
He would inadvertently reveal his unquestionable desire for control, but this was also a good thing for Wangxing. Ye's father really didn't want to hear that his son had a new boyfriend. These four big men alone were 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 softly 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 all we can do is pray."
"Pray for things to 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 everyone present bow and salute, watching the Emperor's skirt pass through the red carpet between them.
When His Majesty finally sat on the throne, everyone looked up and found in surprise.
—Prince Janus was standing beside 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 attempt to 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 dance, and all looked gloomy as they thought about what was going on.
Those 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 had 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 Warden was beaten by the emperor because of the live broadcast.
Afterwards, the emperor dismissed Woden from his position as if nothing had happened and arranged for him to have a teacher to continue his studies.
This made all the nobles unable to understand the emperor's thoughts. According to common sense, when the prince made such a big mistake, the emperor would reprimand him loudly and act as if he had punished the prince. In this way, he could preserve the reputation of the royal family while also making the people feel sympathy for the prince.
But now the emperor didn't 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 Finance.
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 good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist. The lines of his muscles were faintly visible under the fabric, which contained the vigorous power unique to youth.
The neckline of the dress was open, casually revealing a small area of wheat-colored skin. His Adam's apple rolled, full of youthful and seductive male hormones.
It was the goofy look on his face, coupled with his clear, silly, glacial-colored eyes, that ruined the atmosphere a bit. Fortunately, his physique made up for it.
but……
The 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. Then, someone in the crowd, unknown person, whispered 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 those people would start fighting!
It was not until her cousin came over to pull her that she reluctantly followed him out of the 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 rose to power purely through her own skills and scheming, and is currently managing 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 have someone as capable as her to support each other so that she can get more resources.
It was thanks to his aunt's support that Zhang Qi learned about a good opportunity in the group owned by Count Uno. He applied 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 of 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, not daring 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 my 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. Those people over there are not something we can aspire to with our current status."
After Zhang Qi came to his senses, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "How could I possibly have any feelings for them? I was just curious about those people when I was watching the live broadcast earlier."
My cousin finally breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke.
"Who wouldn't be curious here, especially with them dressed like this today? We should just 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, saying that he knew his limits and didn't even dare to move his face to the side. His cousin was relieved that his 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 on the decline, the resources he has are still unimaginable to ordinary people.
Besides, the prince is a little arrogant, so it is relatively easy to coax investment.
Just as my cousin was thinking this, she heard a bang and then there was a commotion.
When the crowd retreated, both Zhang Qi and his cousin were stunned by the scene in the center of the crowd.
Prince Woden was holding an empty glass of wine and pouring it forward.
The person he poured wine on fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face, his head and body covered in red wine.
His face was tilted to one side, as if he had been hit.
——That was Prince Woden’s fiancé, Ye Bai.
