Overnight, the imperial capital underwent drastic changes. All kinds of news spread like flying snowflakes to every corner of the Mio Empire.
His Highness Ximu has returned after disappearing for ten years! The first thing he did was to overthrow the once-prominent regent Sirte, and with the power of thunder, he directly purged his die-hard subordinates!
Compared with the apparent situation, more news was brought back by the noble clan members who entered the palace that night, and was spread by word of mouth among close friends:
It turns out that the disappearance of His Highness Ximu was not an accident but man-made! The Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Sirui, was also tricked and infected by an extremely rare poison, so he had to hand over his power!
And the murderer who deliberately planned to murder his father and brother was none other than His Highness Site!
It's a pity that no matter how hard he tried to win over people's hearts and even stole the temporary management rights of the empire's central brain, he was still defeated by His Highness Ximu. After just one face-to-face meeting, he was knocked back to his original form and completely defeated!
That night, except for ordinary people who were not familiar with political affairs, all the slightly powerful families could not sleep all night.
Some are happy, some are regretful, and some are worried and fearful all day long.
And among them, the most joyful ones are the girls who have a crush on Ximu.
Their thoughts are not as complicated as the elders in the family, they are simply happy for the return of the empire's brightest star.
Since His Highness Ximu is safe and sound, the selection of the prince and concubine that was forced to be suspended should also start, right?
Amina looked at herself in the mirror. Because of the joy from her heart, her face glowed with a bright pink light, adding a bit of charm to her face that could conquer the frost and snow.
As the most beloved daughter of Queen Hyde, she knows a little more about the situation than others.
It is said that His Highness Ximu brought back a woman from the other side of the black hole!
This matter was originally nothing. With His Highness's status and ability, it is not surprising that he can conquer the Star Territory and conquer his subjects anywhere.
As for promoting individual people to serve closely, it is even more appropriate and understandable.
The only thing that concerned her was that she heard that the woman had two children.
Although His Highness did not directly admit that they were his bloodline, he did not deny it either.
But if you think about it more deeply, this matter itself is completely nonsense, and it is impossible to even think about it with your toes.
His Highness has always been calm and self-possessed, strictly abides by the law, and his perseverance is far beyond the reach of others. He will never have any other thoughts about anyone of the opposite sex other than his legal partner.
Before the audition, she was like many other noble ladies who often went to the palace to accompany the Queen. Because she was close to the palace, she had already tested her compatibility with His Highness - a total of 83 points.
Such a high value is not much different from the values between His Majesty and the Queen.
As we all know, the two of them also gave birth to two princes, Simu and Site.
So in her opinion, the compatibility audition for the Pan-Shugo Universe was just a formality.
She is the one who is destined to stand at the top of the empire, standing side by side with His Highness Ximu.
Early the next morning, Amina came to the palace with her father, Ax, a former first-class civil servant who had been suppressed and persecuted by the West, to seek an audience.
Today, there is a lot of traffic at the entrance of the palace. Countless princes and ministers are bustling around, blocking the outside of the palace wall.
Amina noticed that many of them brought girls from their own families, presumably for the same purpose as herself, and she couldn't help but smile.
The empire has strict standards for the selection of princes and concubines. If the fit is not good enough, even His Highness himself will not be able to act selfishly.
At this moment, the palace door opened from the inside, and several chamberlains came out.
"Miss Amina, Miss Hyland, Miss Chris." They read out the names of noble ladies one after another, and finally said: "Her Majesty the Queen has summoned you to serve breakfast. Please come with us."
"It's our honor." The five ladies whose names were called saluted gracefully, and then walked into the palace gate with standard palace steps.
As soon as they entered the Taikun Hall where Queen Hyde lived, Amina and several other noble ladies looked like they were possessed by a demon, locking their eyes directly on the person sitting in front of the table.
His Majesty Ximu, not only is his peerless appearance no less beautiful than it was ten years ago, but his aloofness and aloofness are actually even better than before.
For a moment, all the women were stunned and even forgot the basic etiquette.
Simu was indifferent to this, but Queen Hyde was in a good mood and said to them with a smile:
"What's going on? It's been too long since I've seen Ximu, so you're too happy?"
After her reminder, everyone remembered their mistakes and hurriedly bowed politely. As before, they stood respectfully beside Queen Hyde and Simu, and carefully laid out the dishes.
Amina stood on the right side of Simu. She carefully cut a piece of roasted star beast meat stained with blood with a jeweled knife and put it on his plate.
She had served him for meals many times before, and she knew his preferences well, so she was very sure that this piece of fat and thin star beast meat, grilled to perfection, would definitely get his approval.
Unexpectedly, Simu frowned and put down the fork in his hand.
"Mother," he said, "I have eaten."
Queen Hyde looked at him with a smile and said, "Are you anxious to see her?"
Amina's heart sank slightly when she heard this.
She looked at the other ladies around her, and she could see a bit of uneasiness in each other's eyes. Could it be that the "she" the Queen spoke of was the one they had heard of?
A woman who appears from nowhere is not even qualified to be a maid in the palace. How can she be so favored by His Highness Ximu?
Amina thought this and felt resentful in her heart.
But Ximu's next answer made them both surprised and puzzled.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Ximu's smile shone like a star in the sun, making people dare not look at her: "Lele hasn't had a good rest these days. After finally returning to the palace, she will definitely get up later."
Lele? Is Lele that woman’s name? But when has His Highness Ximu ever cared for anyone with such a gentle tone?
At this moment, a ray of light flashed through, and a woman suddenly appeared in the hall.
This woman has a slender figure, her skin is as delicate and smooth as the most precious jade, and her appearance is even more exquisite. She makes Amina and other elegant ladies look like a vulgar girl.
It's just that although this woman has a radiant appearance, her clothes and appearance are somewhat incompatible with the magnificent palace in front of her.
