Alice was obviously also fascinated by Zhao Mingrui's gentlemanly demeanor and the deep cultivation revealed in her gestures, and her face was full of admiration.

After the banquet, Zhao Mingrui took Alice's hand and prepared to go to the back garden to have a look, but at this time, the head of the royal palace suddenly came to Duke Boone's house.

"His Majesty the Emperor wants to invite Mr. Zhao Mingrui to the royal banquet, this is an invitation. The chief respectfully handed it over, and Duke Boone was stunned as he watched from the side.

was able to ask the chief manager to deliver the invitation in person, and he was still waiting outside, it seems that Zhao Mingrui is really powerful.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes first, I'm going to invite Miss Alice with me, I don't know if I can. Although Zhao Mingrui said so, he had already asked Alice to change her clothes.

"Mr. Zhao decided for himself, I am waiting outside now. The chief didn't say anything and waited outside the door, and the cavalry of the royal family were also waiting outside, as well as the carriage for the royal family.

Alice dressed up, this is the first time she and Zhao Mingrui went to a royal banquet, so she must dress ceremoniously.

After the two arrived at the palace, they were now waiting in the side hall on the side, and they would sit together when the emperor and queen were ready. The queen looked at Zhao Mingrui, a rising star, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

"Nephew Zhao Xian, can I call you that?" the emperor spoke, and the relationship between the two became a lot closer.

"Actually, you inherited a clan's land and a part of the inheritance in his name before, and you are actually a member of the royal family. The queen saw that Zhao Mingrui had doubts in her eyes, but she didn't raise it on the spot.

Zhao Mingrui nodded slightly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, of course I'm happy to say that, I don't know what I was summoning into the palace this time?"

Just to participate in this banquet, Zhao Mingrui actually didn't believe it, and the position of this banquet was still for the princess to sit next to him.

Since the beginning of the banquet, the princess's eyes have fallen on him more than once, and the words of the emperor and queen are also deliberately bringing each other closer.

"Actually, there is indeed one thing, since we are royalty, we should let this glory continue. So we are going to give you our daughter, and as for Miss Alice, we will arrange for her a more suitable duke. ”

The queen also stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point. After hearing this, the princess bowed her head cooperatively, and her face was shy.

This is obviously hoping that Zhao Mingrui will directly abandon Alice, for these honors, but Zhao Mingrui bowed his head directly, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, for your kindness, but Alice and I have already made a lifelong commitment, I'm afraid I can't form this glory with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The emperor sighed after hearing this, but he didn't expect that he was still a step late after all, "Since that's the case, I won't force you anymore." ”

But the princess next to her stood up directly after hearing this, and the table was also shocked, "Do you think that if you reject me like this, you will be very powerful when it is spread? I am the princess of this country, and I don't want to marry me if you want to." ”

The emperor didn't expect the princess to be so straightforward, "Don't say that, everyone has already decided, and my father will find you a better person in the future." The old emperor actually didn't have any malicious intent, but the princess next to him was still a little unconvinced.

Zhao Mingrui didn't pay attention to it, after all, she was still young and a princess of a country, and I am afraid that it was the first time she was rejected.

"Father, you don't look at what he is, the princesses of my country have been rejected. Even if you want to, it depends on whether I can look at you, it's like a toad who wants to eat swan meat. ”

The princess seemed to be puzzled after speaking, "Only you are a little duke's daughter who is worthy of a person like him, two people are really good." ”

"The princess said that's enough, this matter has nothing to do with Alice from beginning to end, it's your father who wants us to ......" Zhao Mingrui couldn't help it anymore when he heard her words, and stood up directly with a slap on the table, half a head taller than the princess next to him.

"You, you...... How dare you talk to Princess Ben like this!" As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass next to him and threw it at Zhao Mingrui, and in an instant Zhao Mingrui's body was full of red wine.

The people next to him also looked at each other with a look of surprise, as if they didn't expect things to develop to this point.

This is the voice of the system, and with the rise of Zhao Mingrui's anger, he sent out a message in time.

"One: Refute the princess, after success, the country that obtains the allies here, the lucky buff bonus, and the favorability of the crowd increases by 10%. ”

"Two: Let the princess be humiliated, unlucky three times, the stock of the domestic company has been implicated and has dropped sharply, and Alice has a good impression of -10. ”

Zhao Mingrui looked at the eyes of the people present and sneered, "Do you think that you are a princess of a small country, you can look down on others so much, do you know what a rich country is." None of you are my opponent as a country. ”

Then he picked up the wine bottle next to him, and poured all the red wine in it down the princess's head, and it turned into a soup chicken all at once.

"You, you...... What about people, I want to change my clothes, I want to ......," the princess said and fell directly on the dining table in the dark, and the food on the table was also tilted down, and all fell on her body.

Here, Zhao Mingrui also received the news of the lucky buff bonus, and the red wine on his face had been wiped clean by Alice. However, Zhao Mingrui still has some doubts that this country is a little unlikely, after all, the emperor's daughter has been made like this by himself.

Thinking so in his heart, he suddenly saw a man dressed in grace and luxury on the table next to him walking over, looking at Zhao Mingrui with very confident eyes.

Then he patted Zhao Mingrui twice on the shoulder, "It seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, young man, you are really amazing." ”

"Your Majesty, are you drunk? The servant next to him looked at him a little staggering, and immediately came to help.

"No, I'm just too happy, so now I'm going to announce one thing, from now on Zhao Mingrui will be my heir to the throne. When I step down, he will be the new king. ”

As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone present was shocked, after all, Zhao Mingrui had nothing to do with him.

Actually handed over the throne to a stranger like this, even the old emperor couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this decision.

The princess looked at Zhao Mingrui, who was still humiliated by herself just now, and instantly became the center of everyone, and she also gained a country. And he was embarrassed like this, and he couldn't help but regret everything he had just done, otherwise he wouldn't be so ashamed.
