The more impressive the young female's performance, the more likely his chances will change.
He worried that his father would think he was not good enough for the young female and would send his other brothers to compete with him for her.
"Good boy, don't worry, it's a good thing that you can awaken a second time," Situ Ze comforted him.
Fangyuan currently has no noble title, although the title for a female is merely a symbolic honor.
Aside from the star coins she receives annually and the Imperial mansion, she has no other rights, but her title is a symbol of her status in the Empire.
Being able to awaken one's spatial abilities a second time before being granted a noble title is certainly a good thing.
With an area of 6,000 square kilometers, it is very possible to directly obtain a marquisate or even a duke.
As expected, Fang Yuan received a warm welcome from His Majesty the Emperor after entering the palace.
As Situ Ze had expected, His Majesty the Emperor granted her the highest title of Duke.
The title of Duke is the highest nobility title for a female besides the Emperor.
Having this identity, even without any real power, will make one of the most prestigious figures in the empire.
What intrigued Fang Yuan was that only the Emperor, Empress, and her father were present when the title was conferred.
There were no other people attending the ceremony, which made Fang Yuan feel a bit secretive.
After receiving her title medal and certificate, Jiang Nancheng took her to a room where she changed into a gorgeous dress.
"Father, I feel that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to value me much. There were hardly any people attending the ceremony when I was granted a title."
After changing her clothes, Fang Yuan took Situ Ze's arm and complained to her.
She was granted a noble title secretly, and she was even made to change her clothes before attending the banquet.
It made her feel that she came to the palace mainly to attend banquets, and the title conferment was just a side effect.
"You have wronged His Majesty. His Majesty is doing this for your own good. Your private space is being spied on, and His Majesty's low profile is actually to protect you."
Situ Ze looked at Fang Yuan and comforted him with a smile.
His Majesty previously said that he would also send a guard team to protect her.
The ducal mansion given to her was also the closest place to the royal family.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. To make up for your unpleasant experience of being granted a title, His Majesty has specially arranged this banquet for you."
Jiang Nancheng also changed into a black suit and walked over.
Fang Yuan was already a precious treasure in his father's eyes.
How could such a precious female dare to be easily discovered?
But we can't easily reveal her situation, nor can we hurt her feelings.
Furthermore, the old men had also seen Fang Yuan's information, and this banquet was held to maintain a balance.
"Hmph! You've said everything, what am I supposed to say?"
Looking at the man who had been so considerate to her all the way, Fang Yuan couldn't bring herself to be angry.
"Please come in! There are quite a few excellent males at tonight's banquet, so don't get overwhelmed by the sights."
Jiang Nancheng said meaningfully.
After spending time together, he discovered some of Fang Yuan's preferences.
Besides her love for food, she also has a penchant for women.
They have a high tolerance for good-looking males.
At least when Ruan Baitang, that venomous fish, angered her, all it took was a few alluring gestures for her to calm down.
Moreover, he noticed that this person would often stare blankly at his face, which pleased him greatly.
The three of them quietly entered the banquet hall from the side without attracting the attention of others.
There were already quite a few people in the hall, and Fang Yuan noticed that there were actually a lot of young men dressed in fancy clothes.
Women, no, females, there were only two or three of them, which was pitifully few.
"This red wine tastes good, would you like to try some?"
Jiang Nancheng took two glasses of red wine from a waiter and handed them to Fang Yuan and Situ Ze respectively.
"Thank you! I don't know any of these people. What do you think I'm doing here?"
Fang Yuan looked around and didn't recognize anyone except Jiang Nancheng. This ball meant nothing to her.
"It's alright if you don't know them. You can find a place to rest for a while. His Majesty and the others won't be returning from the ball, so they won't force you to do anything."
Jiang Nancheng replied with a smile, and poured himself a glass of wine.
This banquet was to celebrate Fang Yuan's return to the Imperial Star, but it did not mean that the Emperor and Empress wanted these people to know Fang Yuan.
It's already quite an achievement that those people were allowed to come in.
"Really? That's good!" Fang Yuan nodded and took a sip of wine.
The taste is alright. It seems like the few jars of wine in her space are almost ready too. She'll let them try them then.
The three were talking in a corner when a strikingly handsome man with silver hair walked over.
"Greetings, esteemed lady. I am Jiang Nanqing. Would you be so kind as to invite me to dance for you later?"
Jiang Nanqing?
Fang Yuan looked at his familiar fox-like eyes, then turned to look at Jiang Nancheng beside her.
Seeing this, Jiang Nancheng stepped forward from the side and asked softly:
"Why did Seventh Brother come here?"
"Fifth Brother is here too? I didn't see you earlier. This lady is very kind. May I be able to make friends with her?"
Jiang Nanqing blinked innocently and asked.
He was the emperor's seventh and youngest child, and he was just twenty years old this year.
"Are you sure you came here on your own? Or was it sent by your father or mother?" Jiang Nancheng asked rhetorically.
In the royal family, only the emperor and empress were monogamous; all other children were "married off" through marriage alliances.
That's why he was so disgusted when Jiang Nancheng was sent to pick up Fang Yuan.
When the surrounding space expanded, he guessed that his father might change his mind. He never expected that his father would change his mind like this.
"Of course not, but I knew a little bit of information, so I came to check it out."
Although Jiang Nanqing has fox-like eyes, her tone of voice is cheerful and innocent.
However, Fang Yuan found it somewhat awkward and incongruous, because his personality didn't match his appearance at all.
She felt that a demon was better one who was demonic inside and out.
