At this time, there are some marginal nobles left in the front hall who only have titles and no power, but their network of relationships is also all over the entire Cold Moon Empire, so in order to show the importance of them, Count Auror and Prime Minister Rongte and his party also came here first.

"Everyone, please be quiet, the Earl and the Prime Minister have something to say!

As soon as the group appeared, Baron Luce, who was extremely eye-catching, immediately waved his hand, and his voice wrapped in spiritual power instantly overshadowed the noise in the hall at this moment.

In the next moment, after a brief silence, warm applause suddenly rang out.

Earl Angno immediately cleared his throat, looked around at the hundreds of guests present, and then said in a deep voice: "First of all, on behalf of the Xilie family, I would like to welcome everyone to the Humble House!"

"As you know, I invited you to this banquet this time, for the purpose of getting engaged to Miss Xueya of the Nicholas family, so let's welcome a pair of beautiful people with warm applause!"

The applause rang out again.

At the same time as the applause rang out, Hua Long and Xue Ya, the two enemies, also took a step forward politely, and then both saluted the many guests present with extremely standard aristocratic etiquette.

And when Hua Long appeared, everyone present, especially those noble ladies who were still waiting to be married, suddenly exploded and whispered in private.

"This ...... Is this Hualong?"

"Isn't it rumored that the imperial capital is extremely ugly and stupid like a pig?

"Yes, how could he be so handsome? I would have married him if I had known he was so handsome!"

“......”

Among those noble ladies, many of them had gone to mention the marriage to Earl Auno at the beginning, but as soon as they heard that the object of the marriage was Hua Long, they immediately found various reasons to refuse, causing them to regret it now.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world!

Looking at the two people on the stage at this time, the man is handsome and dignified, and the woman is peerless, and they are extremely helpless except for envy, jealousy and hatred, they can't have any other ideas at all.

And when she felt the jealous eyes of many noble ladies at this time, Xue Ya's heart was also extremely satisfied at this time, this feeling had not happened even when she was with Hua Yun before, after all, in Hua Yun's eyes, she Xue Ya was just a tool that could be used at any time, and it was impossible to let him make their relationship public in public.

Therefore, Xue Ya enjoyed this moment very much, and even secretly glanced at Hua Long with a shy smile on her face, for this political marriage, she felt the expectation for the first time, it seems that marrying such a handsome man, so as to enjoy the envy of everyone, is not an unacceptable thing.

The prime minister Rong Te on the side didn't speak, just watched quietly, when he found the change in Xue Ya's eyes, the face full of wrinkles suddenly showed a smile, although he is a profit-only speculator, but as a grandfather, he also hopes that his granddaughter can live a happy and happy life, and now that this matter is both good, then naturally everyone will be happy.

The Earl's Court, a small hall for the night banquet.

Compared with the noisy people in the front hall, the atmosphere in the small hall of this night banquet is much quieter, after all, all the people present are powerful people with heads and faces and status, and no one will jump up and down loudly like the small people in the market, and some are just talking in groups with red wine in a low voice, even the family members they brought are no exception.

However, there is also disharmony, that is, the people who belong to the radical faction of Marshal Ron, the people who belong to the conservative faction of Prime Minister Rongte and the people who belong to the neutral faction of Count Onno form three distinct camps, and the three parties are in a triangular situation, and one side occupies an area, and no one wants to see anyone, this scene makes Count Auno and Prime Minister Rongte and others who have just walked in here together can only look at each other and smile awkwardly.

And here, Count Aonno and the others also repeated the red tape in the front hall before, and then began to introduce Hualong and Xueya to the dignitaries present one by one, and then in the envious and jealous eyes of those family members, Hualong and Xueya also politely saluted one by one, which also means that Hualong's road to power finally took the first and most important step.

And in the corner of this night banquet hall, when Hua Yun, who was very cold, saw this scene, his eyes suddenly burned with raging flames, at this time, he couldn't wait to stand up directly and loudly announce to everyone that he, Hua Yun is the real pride of the sky, these eyes of envy, jealousy and even hatred have always belonged only to him, which onion is Hua Long? He also deserves to enjoy such a dazzling aura?

The strong jealousy made him completely on the verge of exploding at the moment!

At this time, he suddenly regretted a little, why didn't he calmly accept Xueya's show of love, if he chose to accept it at the beginning, then it should be him who is standing in this hall and enjoying the attention now, however, Hua Yun can only think about such a thing, if he is really asked to choose again, I am afraid he will still choose to refuse, because he has ambition, he will not be willing to be at the mercy of the old thing of Prime Minister Rongte.

What's more, marrying Xue Ya means joining the Nicholas family, after all, Xue Ya is the only descendant of the younger generation of the Nicholas family, and it is impossible for her to marry outside, and this means that he will give up everything in the current Xilie family, including the title!

Wait!?

Suddenly, Hua Yun seemed to have grasped something, his eyes rolled slightly, and a smile of victory suddenly appeared on his face.

How could he have forgotten such an important thing?

If it is really rich, then tonight's engagement banquet is undoubtedly a good thing for him, as long as Hua Long and Xue Ya get married, then everything in the entire Xilie family will easily fall into his pocket, isn't this what he has always dreamed of?

Thinking of this, Hua Yun's mentality suddenly changed.

But the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that in this case, Hua Long would undoubtedly get power, and it was a higher power than him, after all, the Nicholas family, where Prime Minister Rongte belonged, was a hereditary duke, and their Xilie family was just a hereditary earl, even if Hua Long was just a puppet on the bright side in the future, but it was still a duke, even if he saw Hua Long in the future, he had to salute, and no one could change this.

Fortunately, after weighing the pros and cons, Hua Yun finally gladly accepted this uncomfortable, compared to the monstrous power, what is the puppet title? What's more, in the future, he may not be able to rely on his power to directly change his earl title to a duke! At that time, everything will be different!
