Star Sea Hunter

Song Yishan sat quietly in the corner of the hall, with her head bowed, staring at the exquisite embroidered patterns on the brocade handkerchief in her hand in silence.

This is not the first time for her to come to this place. In the past, when she was the daughter of the head of the Song family, she was the focus of attention of many noble children present at the court balls, just like the women of other big families. one!

However, in the past few years, the situation in the empire has changed dramatically. Because of the failure of the military adventure of the six great families, the father was captured by the current emperor.For their own selfishness, the group of family elders who eat people and don't spit out their bones immediately and neatly abandoned her father and king, and tried to exile all the people in her lineage and confiscate all their property!If it weren't for the current His Majesty's help, even she herself would be reduced to that idiot Song Yushu's slave girl!

For the family, she is completely disappointed!Later, the imperial capital changed, and the elders of the Song family were ordered to exterminate their clan by the emperor, which made her secretly angry!

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 once had!Not to mention the only three remaining aristocratic families, even the inferior Marquis and Earl family can't compare!

Although later, due to various considerations, His Majesty appointed his father again and appointed him as the governor of Zhiyuan Starfield, and after he successfully sent an envoy to the original Xuanluo Federation and persuaded the four major chaebols to surrender to the empire, he was named an earl.But it is still far inferior to the one-thousandth status of the previous family heyday!

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

So, what can I do for my family and my father?She stared blankly at the young and tall figure in the distance, and her eyes gradually became firm.

Yun Haoyu was holding a wine glass, leaning lazily against the carved crystal railing on the edge of the hall, drinking leisurely.

In the dark blue night sky, the grand and bright sea of ​​stars hangs quietly above the vast sky!Starlight poured down from the sky, refracting magnificent and gorgeous light and shadow in the spar hall, setting off the whole hall beautifully, like a heavenly palace!

From time to time, women came over, tried to strike up a conversation with him, and toasted him. Anyway, he drank his glass and accepted it calmly, but he selectively ignored their resentful and expectant eyes!

So far, no woman has been able to obtain the jade medal in the golden box.

"As expected... I knew it was like this!" Xiao Muhan looked at all this from a distance, and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" the lady in purple asked worriedly.

If it continues like this, if His Majesty does not choose any of them by the end of the reception, it will be too ugly to spread the result, and it will make the entire noble class of the empire feel ashamed!

Xiao Muhan thought for a while and said: "It's better like this. If anyone has offered a toast to His Majesty and he has not refused, then write down the woman's name and go back to the palace to discuss with His Majesty."

"Okay!" The female officer nodded, and immediately started to make arrangements.

Here, Yun Haoyu drank many cups again and again, and his mind also felt a little fuzzy.

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

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

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

Xia Qiying stopped in front of him, staring at him with clear black and white eyes, and said: "The Xinghui Empire is getting bigger and bigger, and His Majesty's airs seem to be getting bigger and bigger too! Could it be that there are so many sisters present, just Is there no one who can catch your eye?"

The women around couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously moved away from her. They didn't expect that the woman who just came could speak so bluntly.

Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, but just smiled faintly: "Do you think that the position of the imperial concubine is more attractive than that of the Duke of the Empire?"

Before Xia Qiying could answer, another clear and sweet voice sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate: "It depends on what the person concerned thinks, maybe from some point of view, the imperial concubine is really better than the duke at all." !"

Yun Haoyu sighed slightly: "Ekaterina, do you even have the same opinion?"

The slightly loose long skirt can't conceal the hot and attractive figure of the other party at all, the perfect facial features are like the sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess, they are lively and vivid, and Ruoxue's delicate skin is dazzlingly white!Maybe it was because of the wine she had just drunk, her beautiful face was tinged with a seductive blush, her beautiful eyes as bright as sapphires were staring at him with a smile.

She didn't answer his question, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you confident?"

Yun Haoyu couldn't help being startled, and said a little strangely: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Because people found that your performance in some aspects is not like that of a confident king," she said earnestly, "It seems that today, you don't have the courage to choose the woman you like, but take Passive avoidance attitude!"

"No courage? Do you think so?" Yun Haoyu raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly.

Xia Qiying smiled and said: "It may be inappropriate to say this, and it should be put 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, and then said: "Both of you should know my background, and also understand the rules of this kind of high society game, which is not recognized by me now!"

Ekaterina said: "Although that is the case, the position determines the thinking. Since you have already sat in this position, you should not be too willful in everything! As an emperor, while possessing supreme power and glory, you also have the responsibility The corresponding responsibilities and obligations, and this should not be shirked!"

"Sounds reasonable, but this way of doing things would be a little bit to those girls..." Yun Haoyu murmured.

"Your Majesty, existence is reasonable!" Ekaterina said, "Although this kind of political marriage has many disadvantages, 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 the exchange of benefits! If you are lucky, you can find a decent man; if you are unlucky, you may have to match The last bad old man had a miserable life!"

Yun Haoyu hesitated and said: "Even if they enter the palace, these days... may not be easier than outside!"

Xia Qiying smiled and said: "Whether we have a good life or not depends on your attitude, Your Majesty? Thinking about it, you shouldn't treat us too badly, right?"

"...Okay! I seem to feel that I'm about to be convinced by you!" Yun Haoyu shook his head lightly, and stopped arguing with them on this issue.

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

"Your Majesty, I am Sophia Lena Augustine," she said her name and family background in a brisk and melodious voice, her big bright eyes staring deeply at him, "Permir Augustine Duke Sting is your grandfather, right?" Yun Haoyu vaguely remembered that Xiao Muhan had mentioned it to him, but the impression was a bit vague.

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

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

"Oh? There is such a thing!" Yun Haoyu was a little surprised, looked at her seriously for a while, and said:

"I remember that the Augustine family has a default quota, so it seems that you don't need this thing, and you can get what you want! I don't know what other opportunities you want?"

Sophia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am also a holy pharmacist! I hope that I will have the opportunity to fight with you in the Star Sea next time!"

"Besides, I want a jade tablet because I hope that I can get His Majesty's approval with my own efforts, rather than relying on the blessing of the family! Is this possible?"

"Somewhat interesting!" Yun Haoyu smiled in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay! I hope you can live up to your name!"

As he spoke, he took the wine glass in her hand and drank it down in one gulp, then gave her a jade token.

With the first successful example, the rest of the girls seemed to be inspired and eager to try again.

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

Her movement immediately attracted the attention of many women.

"Who is that? It looks familiar..." Several women whispered beside him.

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

"What are you talking about? That family has long since become history. How can there be any Song family now?"

"Oh! To put it bluntly, she is just a run-down nobleman. If her father hadn't been capable, she wouldn't have had the chance to stand here..."

"Hmph! It's useless for her to be so arrogant and invincible before. Now that the family has fallen, she is eager to marry 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 those women were extremely soft, but with her cultivation base, she could hear it clearly.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Song Yishan's fair and beautiful face, and the circles of her eyes turned slightly red, she bit her lower lip tightly with her white teeth, and still insisted on walking in front of Yun Haoyu.

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

"Will His Majesty drink her wine?"

"Maybe! But even if she drinks it, she has no chance..."

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

Yun Haoyu frowned slightly, reached out to take the glass and drank it down, then smiled and said to her: "The wine is good, and you are the same!"

As she spoke, a jade tablet was placed in her palm.

Feeling relieved, Song Yishan held onto the sign tightly, and was lured to the queen's side by the female officer under the envious eyes of all the girls.

At the same time, a group of female palace guards entered the main hall, and "politely" invited those talkative girls out.

Now, no one dares to speak nonsense anymore.

More than an hour later, the reception was finally over. After Xiao Muhan presented the prepared list to him for review, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he signed and sealed it, and the matter was considered a foregone conclusion!
