However, many people, including Hu Yichen and Xie Qingran called to congratulate him when they learned about his engagement.

Hu Yichen was worried and asked Yi Nuo if he was forced. After learning that it wasn’t the case, he was inexplicably lost and said a few words of blessing.

As for Xie Qingran…

After Yi Nuo returned to the Imperial Capital Star, he took advantage of the case of the Zong family to clear Xie Qingran’s grievances.

In addition, Xie Qingran was expelled from his family at that time. Yi Nuo simply asked the Emperor to let Xie Qingran return to the Imperial Capital Star judicial system.

Because Yi Nuo had just made big contributions in the barren star and was recently engaged to the Yue family to help the royal family get closer to the Yue family, the emperor didn’t mind promising him such a little thing.

Anyway, Xie Qingran would have been in that position if there were no Zong family. Even after so many years, with Xie Qingran’s ability, his position should be higher.

In view of this, the emperor improved Xie Qingran’s position without waiting for Yi Nuo to mention it.

For one thing, he felt he could take advantage of this incident to win the heart of the cheap son. Secondly, in the matter of Xie Qingran, promoting a person who was framed and suppressed by his family would also gain the public’s support for him to a certain extent.

But for Xie Qingran, this was no small matter.

When calling Yi Nuo, he first congratulated the other party on his engagement, and then said, “I saw the report about the barren star. His Highness is mighty. Thanks to you, those people were saved.”

Yi Nuo was a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, “The credit isn’t all mine. It’s mainly due to Yue Zhan and Zhong Xiwu. By the way, there is also Huo Xite, he is a former federal general. Recently he returned home and caused a stir in the Federation, you know?”

Xie Qingran nodded and said, “The case is about to be tried in the Interstellar Court. I heard that he will also appear to testify. However, does His Highness think this case is over now?”

“Of course not.” Yi Nuo’s expression immediately became serious, and said, “This case is very deep. There are many forces behind it that have not been dug up. What we have destroyed is just the tip of the iceberg, a research institution that has surfaced. However, there are still many hidden institutions like this.”

Xie Qingran was silent for a while. Then he suddenly asked, “Then if it is found that the forces behind it are very powerful, even involving the high-level officials and nobles of the empire, will His Highness also catch them all?”

“Of course.” Yi Nuo affirmed.

Why wouldn’t he destroy it and keep such a dangerous organization? Waiting for them to arrest him one day for research? But Xie Qingran’s question…

“Do you know something?” Yi Nuo asked.

Xie Qingran shook his head and said, “No. I’m just curious about His Highness’s attitude towards nobles and planet lords.”

“It also depends on the situation.” Yi Nuo said, “It’s fine for those who abide by the law and know how to retreat from the current, but some of them are unsatisfied borers. People like them, who harm the country and the people, should be destroyed. As for the planet lords, they can’t be moved for the time being, but they can’t be left alone, alas, this is not easy to handle…”

Speaking of this, Ti Nuo’s expression became distressed.

The corners of Xie Qingran’s lips twitched, and he said with a light smile, “I see. Thank you, Your Highness.”

Yi Nuo: “?”

Why thank him again?

After Xie Qingran hung up the call, he looked thoughtful.

He was not a person without ambition. He had become numb and hopeless after several years in prison, but he met the little prince before the ideal in his heart was completely extinguished.

He also observed the eldest prince and Princess Lily, but he concluded that if they were to inherit the throne, the empire would be doomed.

The phone call just now was his last test. After confirming that the little prince’s ideas were similar to his own, Xie Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, he found a master who was worthy of assistance and could help him realize his ideals.

Yi Nuo didn’t know what Xie Qingran was thinking. He was sitting in the garden at the moment, leisurely drinking afternoon tea, looking at the gift list sent by the Internal Affairs officer Lu Xien.

After reading it, he sighed, “The Yue family is really rich.”

Yue Zhan directly gave him two sightseeing planets, one mining star, two manor houses of the Yue family in the Imperial Capital Star, and the equity of two military factories. As for jewelry, treasures, etc., there are too many to count. In short, he was dazzled by them.

“His Majesty’s gift list is not light.” Lu Xien hurriedly spoke for the Emperor.

Yi Nuo didn’t seem to hear him, and thought to himself: How valuable can my father’s stinginess be? Maybe it wasn’t as good as his Grandpa’s.

Picking up the Yue family’s gift list, he looked at it repeatedly and couldn’t help saying, “Yue Zhan is a poor man fighting in the battlefield. Where did he get so many assets? Does he have such a high salary?”

[I can’t be too greedy, right?]

As soon as Yue Zhan walked into the garden, he heard the little prince’s inner thoughts, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Lu Xien saw him coming and hurriedly left with the gift list.

Yue Zhan walked to the opposite side of Yi Nuo, put the food box on the table, and then took a chair to sit next to Yi Nuo, “Many were prepared by my mother.”

Yi Nuo: “Oh.”

He remembered that Mother Yue was a famous entrepreneur, and she was also from a wealthy family.

Yue Zhan’s gaze fell on Yi Nuo’s abdomen, his eyes could not help softening, and he asked softly, “Is the little fish treasure good today?”

Yi Nuo blushed and glared at him, “It’s only, it’s only been a month. How can I know?”

“Have you vomited recently?” Yue Zhan asked again with concern.

Yi Nuo: “…”

“Can you stop being like this?” Yi Nuo whispered, afraid of being heard by the servants standing in the distance.

Yue Zhan chuckled, got up, and said, “My mother has stewed some soup, so I brought it to you, but it may be a little cold, so I will take it to heat it up.”

“Okay, go ahead.” Yi Nuo waved to him.

Since he decided to get engaged, he found that Yue Zhan seemed increasingly free, and he had time to run to the palace every day.

Yue Zhan rubbed Yi Nuo’s head, got up, and carried the food container to the kitchen.

This was not the first time Yue Zhan visited Yi Nuo’s palace. He had long been familiar with the place and didn’t need guidance from servants.

After he left, the eldest prince and Princess Lily also came.

The eldest prince was too embarrassed at Blue Star some time ago. Recently, he was sent to the army for training by the emperor, and his whole body was tanned.

Seeing that Yi Nuo was so leisurely and that his little chin grew some baby fat, he couldn’t help but feel jealous and said, “You are so relaxed.”

Yi Nuo glanced at him and said, “How did you become a coal ball?”

The eldest prince choked, gritted his teeth angrily, and hummed, “I heard that you are going to get engaged to Yue Zhan and even have children? Humph, since that’s the case, I won’t argue with you.”

“Pfft—cough, cough!” Yi Nuo almost spit out and said in surprise, “You?”

After saying that, he looked up and down at the eldest prince and thought to himself: Yue Zhan probably doesn’t like coal balls, does he?

“What are you thinking?” The eldest prince, relying on his height, tapped Yi Nuo directly on the head, and said, “I mean wooing, do you understand? Don’t I have a younger sister and a cousin?”

“Oh?” Yi Nuo turned to look at Princess Lily.

Princess Lily was absent-mindedly curling her hair with her fingers. Seeing him look over, she said slowly, “Don’t worry, I don’t like Yue Zhan. I like beautiful teenagers.”

Yi Nuo turned his eyes back and thought to himself: Humph, you are talking as if Yue Zhan would like you.

No, what was he being vigilant about? Didn’t he and Yue Zhan live together? Is Yue Zhan going to marry him because of the child?

Yi Nuo was sluggish for a moment and suddenly became entangled.

When the eldest prince saw him like this, the eldest prince couldn’t help sighing again, and said, “Alas, I really don’t know what you think. To win over Yue Zhan and fight with me for that position, even an artificial uterus is implanted, which hurt your health. If I had known you wanted to win him over so much, I wouldn’t have fought with you…”

Yi Nuo and Princess Lily: “???”

Brother, are you okay? Go and have someone look at your brain. What does this have to do with you?

Princess Lily also felt that her brother was too stupid. She waved her hand directly and said, “Oh, you go to the side to play. I’ll talk to Yi Nuo for a while.”

Eldest prince: “Why do you let me leave time? I won’t.”

Princess Lily rolled her eyes, ignored him, and said directly to Yi Nuo, “Do you really plan to marry Yue Zhan?”

“It’s an engagement, engagement.” Yi Nuo emphasized.

“Alas, it’s all the same.” Princess Lily waved her hand and said with disapproval, “How long have you known each other before getting married? Seriously, were you so easy to deceive after only spending some time with him?”

Yi Nuo: “?”

Princess Lily: “Let me tell you, you have too little experience. In fact, what’s the matter with being pregnant? My mother was calculated back then and accidentally became pregnant with my brother and me. Didn’t she later leave us to the emperor and find seven or eight little white faces?”

Yi Nuo: “…”

This was true. Back then, the daughter of the nobleman that Scott wanted to marry tried to cook the rice with him, but she didn’t manage to. Unexpectedly, an innocent passerby, Miss Mei Li, was involved and spent the night with Scott.

When Scott woke up, he was furious, and so was Miss Mei Li. It was said that the two people pulled each other’s hair on the spot and scolded each other for being shameless.

Later, Scott became the Emperor, and Mei Li was captured by Scott’s political enemies when she learned that she was accidentally pregnant. During the house arrest, she gave birth to the eldest prince and Princess Lily.

After Mei Li was rescued, she put the account on Scott’s head and threw the eldest prince and Princess Lily to him. She took care of seven or eight little white faces and became the famous Madame Mei in the social circle of the Imperial Capital

“You’re too stubborn.” Princess Lily was still trying to persuade Yi Nuo, “My mother has taught me that it’s too bad to stay with your first man, so it’s better to find a few more.”

Yi Nuo’s mouth twitched slightly. He probably understood why the Emperor didn’t like Princess Lily always going to see Madame Mei.

“Seriously,” Princess Lily continued to advise, “if you don’t find a few more, how can you compare the pros and cons? Don’t hang yourself on one tree but choose from the whole forest. Our family is not without that condition. …”

“You can’t say that.” The eldest prince disagreed and said, “Maybe the first is the best one?”

“It’s not a loss to try a few more.” Princess Lily retorted back.

Yi Nuo: “…” These two are quite idle, ah.

“Really, brother, how about I introduce some to you?” Princess Lily suddenly turned her head and asked him sincerely.

Yi Nuo: “Er…”

“I don’t think so. Her Royal Highness, please keep them for yourself to try.” At some point, Yue Zhan stood behind them with chicken soup and said in a gloomy tone.

Yi Nuo, Eldest Prince and Princess Lily: “!!!”

The three people turned their heads in unison, with identical expressions, as if they were frightened quails.

Two seconds later, the eldest prince and Princess Lily were the first to admit defeat and decided to leave Yi Nuo alone. They got up, and said with a forced smile, “Well, we still have something to do, so we’ll go first.”

After speaking, they smeared oil on the soles of their feet, but didn’t run for two steps, and then ran back. One of them stuffed a gift box for Yi Nuo, and said, “This is an engagement gift in advance. I wish the two of you a long and happy life together and give birth to a son soon, ah, haha…”

Yi Nuo looked at the gift box and then turned to look at the frowning Yue Zhan. He quickly raised his hand and swore, “I didn’t say anything. I just listened.”

Yue Zhan walked over with the chicken soup, handed him the bowl and spoon, and said with a bad face, “Don’t listen to such words in the future.”

Yi Nuo: “…” You are so generous.

However, in the face of the chicken soup stewed by Mother Yue, Yi Nuo didn’t have time to care.

When he smelled the aroma of chicken soup, Yi Nuo hurriedly took it and drank it happily.

It’s just that, while drinking, he looked at Yue Zhan with his small eyes, thinking—

[Actually, what Princess Lily said is not completely unreasonable.]

Yue Zhan: “…”

His face darkened for a moment but soon became gentle for fear of scaring the little prince.

After the little prince finished drinking the chicken soup, Yue Zhan gently helped the other party to wipe the corners of his lips, and then pretended to say indifferently, “Your Highness, we haven’t taken care of the baby for a long time. It’s not good for the baby, why not…”

It seemed that he had to show his strength to let the little prince and let him know that he was the best without comparison.

Hearing this, Yi Nuo’s expression froze, then he shook his head and said, “No need.”

“No need?” Yue Zhan was confused.

“No need in the future!” Yi Nuo became angry when he mentioned this, and said, “We were deceived. We don’t need to take care of the baby in such a way.”

[Junk fake books are harmful to fish!]

Yue Zhan: “???”
