Song Yishan sat quietly in the corner of the main hall, her head lowered, staring at the exquisite embroidery on the brocade handkerchief in her hand silently.

This is not the first time she has come back to this place, in the past, when she was the concubine of the head of the Song family, in all the palace balls, she was like the women of other major families, and she was one of the focuses of attention of many noble children present!

However, in the past few years, the situation in the empire has changed, and my father has been captured by His Majesty the current Emperor because of the failure of the military adventures of the six great families. For their own selfishness, the elders of the family who ate people and did not spit out bones immediately and neatly abandoned her father and tried to exile all the clansmen of her vein and confiscate all their property! If it weren't for the help of His Majesty now, even she herself would have become the slave girl of that straw bag Song Yushu!

For the family, she is completely disappointed! Later, the imperial capital changed to the sky, and the group of elders of the Song family were ordered by the emperor to exterminate the clan, which made her secretly breathe a bad breath in her heart!

It's just that although the clansmen of my father's line have been preserved, they can no longer have the power and wealth they used to be! Not to mention the only three remaining families, even the more inferior Marquis and Earl families can't compare!

Later, due to various considerations, His Majesty appointed his father as the governor of the Zhiyuan Star Domain, and after he successfully sent an envoy to the former Xuanluo Federation to persuade the four chaebols to surrender to the empire, he was crowned an earl. But it is still far from the status of one thousandth of the previous family in its heyday!

However, my father did not give up, and still dreamed of reviving the family one day, not to mention restoring the family's former glory and power, at least returning to the ranks of the first-class wealthy families in the empire!

So, what can I do for my family and my father? She looked at the young and tall figure in the distance in a daze, and her eyes slowly became resolute.

Yun Haoyu held the wine glass, lazily leaned against the carved crystal railing on the edge of the hall, and drank leisurely.

In the dark blue night sky, a vast and brilliant sea of stars hangs quietly above the vast sky! The starry sky pours down, reflecting the magnificent, gorgeous light and shadow in the spar hall, setting off the whole hall beautifully, like a beautiful view of the heavenly palace!

From time to time, women came over, tentatively accosting him and toasting him, he was drunk anyway and accepted it calmly, but he selectively ignored their resentful and expectant eyes!

Until now, no woman has been able to obtain the jade medal in the golden box.

"Sure enough...... I knew it was so! Xiao Muhan watched all this from a distance and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" The purple-clothed female officer asked with some concern.

If it goes on like this, if His Majesty doesn't choose any of them when the drinking party is over, the result will inevitably be too ugly, and it will make the entire aristocratic class of the empire feel disgraced!

Xiao Muhan thought for a while and said, "It's better to be like this, whoever has toasted to Your Majesty, and he didn't refuse, he will write down the woman's name and go back to the palace to discuss with Your Majesty." ”

"Okay!" The female officer nodded, and immediately set about arranging.

Here, Yun Haoyu drank many cups in a row, and his mind felt a little smoky.

"Your Majesty, you didn't come here today just to drink, did you?"

As a lazy and feminine voice sounded in his ears, a delicate woman walked over.

Yun Haoyu drank the wine offered by a blonde-haired, snow-skinned, dignified beautiful girl in front of him, and then said, "Then what do you think I have to do?" ”

Xia Qiying stopped in front of him, stared at him with black and white beautiful eyes and said, "The Starlight Empire is getting bigger and bigger, and Your Majesty's shelf seems to be getting bigger and bigger!" Could it be that there are so many sisters present, and none of them can enter your eyes? ”

The surrounding women couldn't help but be surprised, and subconsciously moved away from her, they didn't expect that the woman who had just come over would speak so bluntly.

Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, but smiled faintly: "Could it be that you think that the position of this imperial concubine is more attractive than the position of the duke of the empire?" ”

Before Xia Qiying could answer, another beautiful and pleasant voice came: "It depends on what the person thinks, maybe from some points of view, the imperial concubine is really better than the duke!" ”

Yun Haoyu sighed slightly: "Catherina, do you even have such a view?" ”

The slightly loose long skirt can't hide the other party's hot and seductive figure, the perfect facial features like the sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess are smart and vivid, and the delicate skin is as white as snow! Probably because he had just drunk wine, he had a seductive blush on his face, and his bright sapphire-like eyes were staring at him with a smile.

Instead of answering his question, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you confident?" ”

Yun Haoyu couldn't help but be stunned, and said a little strangely: "Why do you ask such a question?" ”

"Because people have found that you do not behave like a confident king in some respects," she said earnestly, "as if you were here today and you did not have the courage to choose the woman you liked, but adopted a passive and evasive attitude!" ”

"Don't have the courage? What do you think? Yun Haoyu raised his eyebrows and said disappreciably.

Xia Qiying said with a smile: "It may be a bit inappropriate to say this, it should be mentioned in another way, that is, Your Majesty, you don't seem to have thought of taking on the responsibility you should bear!" ”

Yun Haoyu was silent for a moment before he said: "Both of you should know where I come from, and also understand the rules of the game in this high society, which is not recognized by me now!" ”

Ekaterina said: "Having said that, but the position determines the thinking, since you have already sat in this position, you can't be too willful in everything!" As an emperor, while having supreme power and glory, he also bears corresponding responsibilities and obligations, and this should not be shirked! ”

"It sounds a little reasonable, but this kind of approach is a little ...... for that group of women," Yun Haoyu muttered.

"Your Majesty, existence is reasonable!" Catherine said, "Although there are many disadvantages of this kind of political marriage, it can last for thousands of years, and there is always a necessity for its existence!" ”

"Even if you don't accept it, their future outcome will not change in the slightest, and they will still be used by the family as a bargaining chip in exchange for interests! If you're lucky, you'll be able to find a decent man; If you are lucky, maybe you will have to match a bad old man, and you will have a miserable life! ”

Yun Haoyu said hesitantly: "Even if they enter the palace, this day ...... It's not necessarily better than the outside! ”

Xia Qiying said with a smile: "Have we had a good life, doesn't this depend on your attitude, Your Majesty?" You don't think you will be too bad for us, will you? ”

“…… All right! I seem to feel like I'm about to be convinced by you! Yun Haoyu shook his head lightly and stopped debating with them on this issue.

At this moment, another tall, beautiful, hot, and bright-looking green-haired girl walked over with a wine glass.

"Your Majesty, I'm Sophia. Lena. Augustine," she said in a lilt, melodious voice about her name and family history, and her large bright eyes gazed deeply at him. Duke Augustine is your grandfather, right? Yun Haoyu vaguely remembered that Xiao Muhan had mentioned it to him, but his impression was a little vague.

"Yes!" She nodded without shyness, looked at the jade card in Shuangyan's hand, and said:

"According to the previous in-law relationship between the two families, I should be counted as your distant cousin, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give me a chance?"

"Oh? And there's such a thing! Yun Haoyu was a little surprised, looked at her seriously for a while, and said:

"I remember that the Augustins have a quota in the house, so you don't seem to need this thing, and you can get what you want! I wonder what more opportunities you want? ”

Sophia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am also a Saint-rank pharmacist!" I hope that the next time I go on the expedition, I will have the opportunity to fight the sea of stars with you! ”

"In addition, I want a jade plaque because I hope that I can be recognized by His Majesty with my own efforts alone, not by relying on the blessing of my family! Is that okay? ”

"Something interesting!" Yun Haoyu smiled with a little surprise, nodded and said, "Okay!" Hope you live up to your name! ”

As he spoke, he took the wine glass in her hand and drank it down, and then took a jade plaque for her.

With the first successful example, the remaining girls seemed to be inspired to try again.

Song Yishan stood not far away, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to come over.

Her move immediately attracted the attention of many women.

"Who is that? It looks familiar......" Several women whispered to the side.

"You don't even know her? Isn't that the daughter of the head of the Song family......"

"What do you say? That family has long been history, how can there be any Song family now? ”

"Oh! To put it bluntly, she is just a dilapidated nobleman now, if it weren't for her father's ability, how could she have a chance to stand here......"

"Humph! In vain, she used to be so arrogant, but now that the family has fallen, she is looking forward to marrying into the royal family to revitalize the family, how can there be such a good thing......"

Although the distance was very far, the voices of the women were also very slight, but with her cultivation, they naturally heard it clearly.

Song Yishan's fair jade face was flushed with a touch of embarrassment, her eyes were slightly red, she bit her lower lip tightly, and still insisted on walking in front of Yun Haoyu.

"Your Majesty......" She held the wine glass in her hand in front of him, and her beautiful eyes looked at him nervously.

"Will Your Majesty drink her wine?"

"Perhaps! But even if she drank it, she wouldn't have a chance to ......."

Although the voice was soft, it stimulated her nerves like a knife, and a touch of sadness gradually appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Yun Haoyu frowned slightly, reached out and took the wine glass and drank it all, and then said to her with a smile: "The wine is good, and you are the same!" ”

As she spoke, a jade plaque had been placed in the palm of her hand.

Song Yishan was relieved, clutched the sign tightly, and was led to the queen by the female official in the envious eyes of the women.

At the same time, a team of female palace guards entered the main hall and invited the mouthy show girls out "politely".

Now, no one dares to talk nonsense anymore.

After more than an hour, the reception finally ended, and after Xiao Muhan presented the prepared list to him, he saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he signed it and stamped it with his seal, and the matter was a foregone conclusion!
