Yuan Hua pulled his hand back and did not continue to take advantage. After all, it was already the end of the year, and the river crab god was catching people very strictly. If you were not careful, you would die.

"Thank you."

Fanta didn't dare to say anything more...

"Yuan Hua, how many things are you hiding from me?"

Elizabeth came close to Yuan Hua, looked at him pitifully, and acted like a little girl...

"Not much, that's basically it."

There was nothing to say next. Yuan Hua just stared at Elizabeth silently without saying anything more...

"Hmph~!"

Seeing that Elizabeth no longer paid attention to him, Yuan Hua just let it go.

"..."

……

"Congratulations, mother."

This was the second time Andrew announced the good news to his mother.

"Congratulations on what?"

Iris put her feet on the stool and pulled at the white silk net.

"Congratulations, mother, on your promotion to queen."

Andrew had a forced smile on his face. As a mom-control freak, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"I accept your blessing, Andrew. You have grown up. For some things, you have to learn to fight for them yourself, even if you have to sacrifice your face. Remember, the one who laughs last is the winner."

Iris patted Andrew's cheek.

"Don't you want my approval?"

"Now I'm giving you this chance. As long as you can win the position of crown prince, I will see you the way you want me to see you."

"Can you become my pride?"

"I can!"

Andrew suddenly spoke, his voice particularly loud.

"I……"

“Shh—”

Iris made a gesture to silence...

"There are so many people here, keep your voice down. The competition for the crown prince is not something you can get involved in. Do you want everyone to know about your existence?"

"sorry."

Andrew immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"I hate your verbal promises. Prove yourself with actions."

Iris placed her hand on Andrew's head.

"Even if you say nothing and just walk away, I won't blame you, but I want to see the results."

"I have arranged a dinner for you. The address is here. Go to the dinner by yourself. It is up to you to decide how far you can go."

"?"

Andrew took the note from Iris's hand, took a look at it, then turned and left.

"Mother, I'll be there right away."

"..."

……

[“You’re going to a banquet?”]

"Correct."

Yuan Hua put the coat on his shoulders.

"Someone is inviting me to dinner, why shouldn't I go?"

[“Princess Iris?”]

Feisheng is a little confused?

[“How dare she touch you?”]

"How do I know this?"

Yuan Hua stretched lazily.

"Let's go and take a look, but I don't think she would be stupid enough to show up in person."

"After all, she has just been promoted to queen. She is meeting with the prince in such a remote place in the middle of the night. She will fall on her own without us doing anything."

[“Well…it’s getting cold. Wear more clothes.”]

"Are you talking to me or to the brothers in front of the screen?"

[“Both.”]

……

Chapter 345 Andrew's solicitation

"It seems I'm late."

Yuan Hua pulled a chair and sat down.

"No, Your Excellency, you have arrived ten minutes early."

In the darkness, a pair of eyes silently watched Yuan Hua's face...

"Is this your way of entertaining guests?"

Seeing that the other party was still hiding in the shadows, Yuan Hua's enthusiasm suddenly faded by half.

"How can that be possible?"

Snapped----!

A snap of fingers echoed in the room, and the lights in the room lit up one by one. At this time, Andrew stood respectfully in front of Yuan Hua and bowed deeply.

"Hmm...not bad, the etiquette is there."

Yuan Hua's dissatisfaction eased a little.

"I have inquired about you. You are from Shenzhou, so I will naturally treat you according to the etiquette of Shenzhou."

Andrew tactfully directed the servants beside him to bring the Shenzhou dishes to the table.

Before Yuan Hua arrived, Andrew had done a lot of homework, starting from the etiquette of China, to history, and finally to preferences.

【White hair control】

That's right, all the maids present had white hair.

But is Yuan Hua such a vulgar person?

Of course it is.

Seeing that Yuan Hua's eyes were almost drawn away, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief...

Fortunately, fortunately, I guessed it right.

"Quick, show the guests the tea."

Andrew gave the maid a look, indicating that she should stick to it.

"no need."

Yuan Hua directly pushed away the maid who was trying to please him.

She is not pretty enough and is not pleasing to the eye.

"You can take it home if you like."

Andrew quietly glanced at the book on the table...

Hmm...honey trap...

"Not really. I'm not that kind of person."

Yuan Hua stood firm in his stance.

"All that can be used is just a little token of my appreciation."

Andrew brought another bag of unknown stuff, which made Yuan Hua want to laugh for no reason...

Yes, the etiquette of the Shenzhou people is already in place, but they have learned it in a somewhat unorthodox way, which makes it feel very awkward.

No one gives gifts directly to others.

"Okay, no need to say polite words, let's get down to business."

Yuan Hua crossed his legs and put his hands on the table.

"I don't believe you have nothing to do and invited me just to give me a gift."

"Well... don't talk yet, let me think about it."

When Yuan Hua saw Andrew was about to speak, he immediately raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"It's about the Crown Prince, right?"

"Yes."

"You don't know me."

Yuan Hua picked up the hot water on the table and brought it to his mouth.

"No, I don't know you, but I want to know you."

Having said this, Yuan Hua still felt like something was not right.

No, are you here coaxing a little girl?

"Stop, stop..."

Yuan Hua rubbed his temples with a headache...

"Don't you know that I have a good relationship with Toka and Torrea?"

"Of course I know that."

Andrew straightened his back.

"The competition for the crown prince is aboveboard. I am not afraid of them knowing it because I am confident that I am more suitable to be king than them."

"..."

Yuan Hua frowned.

"What can you use to compete with them?"

"Let's not talk about Torreya, let's talk about Toka."

Yuan Hua knocked heavily on the table.

"Although Toka is not popular, his strength is still acceptable. After all, he is a fifth-level mage. Then there is Torreya."

"Now officials throughout the empire are on Torreya's side. Everyone believes that Torreya is the future king, and the crown prince issue is basically a foregone conclusion."

Yuan Hua paused slightly.

"So I ask again, what is your basis? Is it based on your passion?"

"..."

Andrew took a deep breath...

"Can you give me a chance, Your Majesty?"
