I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3405 Excited

"It's ours! It's ours!" Where a group of ministers were standing, an old minister whose name Linton couldn't remember suddenly pulled another minister next to him excitedly, and shouted so excitedly that it could even be said that he was a little inappropriate.

The reason why the minister named Fingomes was so excited was naturally because the rabbit that Xiaolin Rui was biting was the one his family had offered. In other words, his family was chosen.

This was a complete and huge surprise. After all, their family did not receive any notification at the beginning, which means that there must have been some unexpected situation in the drawing of lots.

This situation is not impossible, it is just very rare. After all, the final result is chosen by a child, and even if you are well prepared, unexpected situations are inevitable.

Of course, what he didn't know was that, because Yalan had completely forgotten about making arrangements, no matter who was selected from the remaining seven families, it would be an unexpected situation, after all, no one had been notified.

Because he was not informed, this huge surprise was much more intense than the surprise that was announced in advance. Now the Earl of Fingomes was as excited as Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination, and he was so happy that he almost lost his composure.

Count Fingomes didn't know whose opportunity his family had robbed, but no matter what, the Crown Prince had seized their gift in public, so it was a done deal and could not be changed. It was clear that their family was going to soar to the sky.

Fortunately, Count Fengomes' condition was not as serious as Fan Jin's. After going crazy for a while, he returned to normal.

After calming down, he immediately looked at the ministers next to him. He actually wanted to find out which minister's opportunity had been snatched away by their family.

Yes, the families that were chosen to present gifts were obviously not ordinary families. The threshold was not low. Although it was mentioned before that five of the eight candidates were from the families of Yalan's pregnant friends, think about what kind of family background it would take to be the pregnant friend of the former queen and the current queen. These families were considered high-ranking families in the imperial city where aristocrats were everywhere.

Of course, there are many clansmen in these families who serve in the court. How can the family maintain its prestige without someone serving in the court? Therefore, these seven candidate families actually have people standing among the ministers.

Count Fingomes certainly knew which families were involved in the other matters, but now he was paying special attention to the expressions of these families. Because if they had robbed their family of their great opportunity, they would probably become mortal enemies, so he had to quickly determine which family the enemy was.

As a result, he was surprised to find that the expressions of the ministers from the remaining six families when they looked at him seemed to be similar, and none of them showed particularly obvious hatred.

Looking at their expressions, they all seemed to have the same surprised expression of "It's your family".

Count Fengomes was a little puzzled. If it were him, he would definitely make a scene on the spot. Where was their family?
No, no, although Count Fengomes thought so at first, but after careful consideration, he dared not make a fuss.

It was an agreement, but this was a private operation after all. Even if everyone knew about it, it couldn't be made public.

This was obviously something that could not be made public. If it were, it would be a slap in the face of the royal family. That was why the family that should have won the bid reacted so quickly and had already figured out the matter, so they did not show it.

I can only say that this is hidden well. I was too happy just now and lost my mind. As a result, I didn't pay attention to the expressions of the other people. Now it's too late to find out which one it is. The other party has hidden their expressions well.

This matter... is a little troublesome. The other families won't be that worried, but the family whose opportunity was snatched away by him will definitely take revenge on them, which is like gaining a mortal enemy, and a hidden one at that. But he thought again, it seems that it is not their family that is anxious. Their family is about to soar to the sky, and the other party should be anxious. Anyway, now that they have robbed it, they will never give up what they have already got. If you want to cause trouble, just come and find me anytime.

Just be happy first, and we’ll think about what happens next later.

While Count Fingomes was fighting with the air, the crown prince had already bitten off the head of their gift. Xiao Lin Rui obviously realized that this thing could not be eaten, and his expression was very aggrieved.

"Let's start the banquet quickly. Look how hungry the child is." Linton couldn't help but say as he looked at the aggrieved expression of the little guy.

In short, the lengthy ceremony has come to an end, and it is indeed time to start the banquet.

Linton stood up and walked to the high platform above. He was not going to give any speeches. This was indeed a good opportunity to win over the ministers, but compared to winning over the ministers, Linton didn't want to give any speeches. It was too troublesome.

Just as he was about to announce the start of the banquet, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cluster of fire in the distance.

It was obvious that there was a fire somewhere in the city, and it was within the inner city of the imperial city, but Linton didn't know where it was.

Although he was the emperor, he didn't even know how many palaces there were in the imperial palace. How could he know exactly where the fire was?

It seems that the fire is quite big. After all, it is noon now and the sun is very bright in the sky. In this situation, you can still see obvious flames. It is obvious that the fire has grown to some scale.

Of course, it was not only Linton, many ministers below also noticed it. The scene suddenly became a little chaotic, and many people realized that something might have happened.

"Cough cough..." But at this moment, Linton coughed lightly a few times, and soon the scene that had just begun to be chaotic immediately became quiet again. It must be said that Linton has this kind of deterrent power.

"Anyway, the time has come, let's start the banquet," Linton announced directly.

It was obvious from Linton's expression that he was not going to care about the fire over there. The ministers here naturally understood what he meant and pretended not to see what was happening over there.

Soon, under the guidance of some maids, they began to sit down at the banquet venue next to them. Although they were a little curious about what happened over there, they also knew that curiosity killed the cat. His Majesty the Emperor asked them to ignore it, so who dared to pay attention to it?

Of course, the fire over there quickly dwindled down, and gradually only a little black smoke could be seen. Yes, although Linton didn't mean to care, his men of course went to check the situation immediately and put out the fire immediately.

Not long after, the situation was reported to Linton.
