Being stared at, Feng Ci's brows furrowed slightly. He pulled Shi Sheng away from the dance floor. Before anyone could react, the angelic youth from before had already disappeared.
Shi Sheng didn't like his people being stared at, so he let Feng Ci pull him away.
Shi Sheng took Feng Ci to find a place to sit down. As soon as they sat down, Patriarch Yan staggered over.
"Patriarch Shi, can I have some of your time?" Patriarch Yan was already very polite. With his status, he didn't need to ask for someone's opinion.
"No." Shi Sheng refused without hesitation. "My time is precious."
Patriarch Yan: "…" Precious?
Precious? What the hell?
How is it precious for you to be sitting here?
Patriarch Yan glanced at the young man beside her. The young man looked down, as if he wasn't interested in their conversation. He also looked weak, but …
Patriarch Yan was speechless. These two perverts.
He wanted to ask about what happened today, but he thought that since she was here, there shouldn't be any accidents. After all, she didn't usually appear in dangerous situations.
Patriarch Yan was called away by Patriarch Jin, and the two of them chatted for a long time. Later, Ji Ye joined in. He glanced at Shi Sheng from time to time, but every time he did, he was stuffed with dog food.
Did she come here to show off her love?
Finally, the banquet started. His Majesty was indeed in high spirits. He came out surrounded by people and thanked everyone for their concern. After a lot of nonsense, he finally got to the main topic of the day.
He announced who would be the crown prince.
There were only three candidates in the royal family.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince.
At this time, the eldest prince and the third prince were both present. The eldest prince looked aggressive and arrogant, and he was determined to get the throne. He kept shooting glances at the third prince.
The third prince didn't want to pay attention to the eldest prince, so he stood on the other side and blocked the eldest prince's line of sight with other people. The eldest prince snorted.
As for the second prince, he was still nowhere to be seen. The crowd couldn't help but whisper. The second prince really didn't care about the throne. He didn't even come to such an important occasion.
However, His Majesty would probably not choose the second prince. If the empire were to be married off to someone who was obsessed with mecha, would there still be a future for the empire?
"The main reason I called everyone here today is to announce the Crown Prince. I'm sure everyone wants to know." His Majesty the Lucky Mascot's voice successfully silenced the discussion below. "I have a total of four children. The fourth child left early, and the second child is a good-for-nothing. This crown prince …"
His Majesty the Mascot's gaze moved back and forth between the First Prince and Shangguan Pu before finally stopping on the First Prince.
The First Prince immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest. His face was already filled with pride. He was the eldest son, so the throne should have been his.
"This crown prince …" His Majesty the Mascot sighed. "The third prince, Shangguan Pu."
The smug expression on the First Prince's face froze. He widened his eyes and looked at the person above in disbelief.
Why Third Brother?
"Congratulations, Third Prince …"
"Congratulations, Third Prince. Congratulations, congratulations!"
The people around him surrounded the Third Prince so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. There were only a few people on his side. At this moment, it was a bit awkward. He didn't know whether to continue standing there or go up to congratulate the Third Prince.
After all, the crown prince had already been decided. In the future, the Third Prince would definitely be in charge of the Empire …
The First Prince's initial shock turned into a ferocious expression.
"Father." The First Prince took a few steps towards the high platform, even forgetting his etiquette. "Father, I am the eldest son. Why should Third Brother be the crown prince?"
Faced with his eldest son's angry questioning, His Majesty the Mascot's face also darkened. "Whoever is chosen as the crown prince is agreed upon by everyone in the Parliament. It is not my decision alone. Third Brother was able to gain the approval of so many people in the Parliament. It is his ability. You should also reflect on what you have done in the past few years."
"What I have done?" The First Prince approached His Majesty step by step. His eyes were red as he questioned, "I have been working hard, but Father doesn't even have me in your eyes. In the past, you only had Fourth Brother in your eyes. Now that Fourth Brother is dead, you only see Third Brother. When have you ever seen my existence?"
"What are you trying to do? Go down!" His Majesty the Mascot shouted.
However, not only did the First Prince not go down, but he also pressed on. "Father, you forced me to do this."
His Majesty the Mascot's expression changed. "Guards, guards!"
The First Prince suddenly grabbed His Majesty the Mascot's neck and used him as a shield. He shouted angrily at the people below who were preparing to save him, "Let's see who dares to move!"
He gave his people a look. That person immediately went out and quickly brought the army in. They surrounded the venue. Today, he had prepared for both sides.
This unforeseen event was probably out of everyone's expectations. For a moment, no one acted rashly.
Patriarch Yan and a few others stood in the middle of the crowd and watched this unfold. They had no intention of stepping out.
"Eldest Brother, let go of Father first. We can talk things over." Shangguan Pu had no choice but to step out. "He is our Father. You can't treat him like this."
"Talk things over?" The First Prince grabbed His Majesty the Mascot and stepped back. "If I let go of him, can you talk things over? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? "
"Eldest Brother, if you want the crown prince, I will give it to you. Let go of Father first." Shangguan Pu's face was firm.
The First Prince's eyes were filled with anger and jealousy. "Third Brother, stop acting like you are giving me charity. I don't want your charity."
He spoke as if he didn't want the crown prince and threw it to him.
Shangguan Pu: "…"
"First Prince, are you trying to usurp the throne?"
"Usurp the throne? How can I be so stupid? " The First Prince sneered. "Of course I won't usurp the throne. I will make Father admit that I am the crown prince."
"I am so disappointed in you." His Majesty the Mascot had difficulty speaking. His face was ashen. "All these years, you have been so arrogant. You don't listen to other people's opinions and are stubborn. Your personality is not suitable for the throne at all."
"So what if I am arrogant? Isn't Shi Sheng the same? She can make so many people fear her. Why can't I?" Speaking of arrogance, there was clearly someone more arrogant. He was a prince. So what if he was a little arrogant? Didn't he have the right to be so?
Shi Sheng, who was standing in the corner and watching the show, was suddenly called out.
I was being attacked even when I was lying down?
What does it have to do with I!
"Can you compare to her?" His Majesty the Mascot was also angry.
What kind of strength does she have? What kind of background does she have? What kind of strength do you have? Can you make an entire galaxy fear you? Can you tear a super mecha apart with your bare hands?
Do you still think the royal family is the same as before?
Not to mention the Shi family, they didn't even dare to provoke the other families. They had to be polite when they met. This unfilial son was actually learning from that person.
"I am a prince. Why can't I compare to her?" The First Prince was very unconvinced. He sneered. "Father, you are biased. Don't think that I don't know what you said to Third Brother. Do you think that you can rest easy after handing the empire to him? If he really inherits the throne, the empire will be finished sooner or later. "
"Just because you are not as good-looking as me, you can't compare to me on this point."
