"Come on, come on, let me introduce you to His Highness the Second Prince and His Highness Prince Yan." Governor Bilan enthusiastically pulled Zhao Chen towards the two adults.
Although Zhao Chen was extremely reluctant in his heart, the Blue Governor was already waving over there.
The second prince Qin Ming's eyes have fallen on Zhao Chen.
"Meet His Highness the Second Prince, His Highness Prince Yan." Governor Bilan saluted first, then pointed to Zhao Chen beside him and said: "Let me introduce this young hero to the two of you.
Zhao Chen! Lord of the Xiaolong Galaxy in the North Wind Star Territory, he fought fiercely against the Zerg fleet twice in a row and achieved great success.
This time when you come to the Imperial Capital Star, you will be directly awarded the title of Marquis!"
Prince Yan's eyes lit up and he looked Zhao Chen up and down: "I guess you're not even thirty yet."
"Yes." Zhao Chen said.
"You are awarded the title of Marquis before you are thirty. This is very rare in our Xingyao Empire."
"Your Majesty, the prince has given you too much praise."
The second prince Qin Ming also smiled and said: "I have also heard about Lord Zhao Chen's deeds, and I am lucky enough to see him today.
Let’s have a good chat in private another day.”
"must."
In front of these two men at the top of the empire's pyramid, Zhao Chen behaved like a nervous little lord, not even daring to look at the second prince Qin Ming.
Because there were many people present, it was naturally impossible to just talk to Zhao Chen.
This gave Zhao Chen a chance to escape.
Zhao Chen quietly returned to the corner and glanced at these two people.
He is not familiar with Prince Yan.
But the second prince, he is an ‘old friend’.
Perhaps the second prince himself didn't know that he had indirectly had several confrontations with this reserved little lord.
The slave trading business was destroyed by Zhao Chen.
The plan to control the Reef Star Territory was destroyed by Zhao Chen.
The Hurricane Consortium is also closely related to the royal party, so naturally it can also be blamed on Zhao Chen.
If the second prince Qin Ming knew about these things, it was all the fault of this kid Zhao Chen.
It is estimated that the second prince Qin Ming will arrest Zhao Chen on the spot and have his skin ripped off to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Finally, the banquet ended, and Zhao Chen immediately left and returned to his interstellar battleship.
What made Zhao Chen a little regretful was that the little princess did not attend this banquet.
It stands to reason that the new nobles attending today's banquet will all be the backbone of the future Xingyao Empire.
Even the second prince Qin Ming came to meet him in person, so it stands to reason that the little princess should also be there.
It seems that everything has to wait until the day of the canonization ceremony.
…
two days later
Imperial Star
A full 20,000 meters above the ground, there is a magnificent palace with a relatively classical architectural style.
In a palace like this on the Imperial City, there are many places for the royal family.
This is just one of them, specially used to reward lords and meritorious nobles.
Zhao Chen walked out of the space elevator and could breathe very sweet air.
The environmental quality of the entire Imperial City is built to the highest level.
It can be said to be a paradise-like existence, of course, behind this is a large amount of resource investment.
When you get out of the space elevator, you don't have to worry about not knowing the way, because there is only one way to go.
On both sides of some kind of jade-paved avenue are imperial soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding laser guns. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
So just go all the way to the end.
Walking into the crystal clear hall, Zhao Chen walked to his position according to the handheld terminal route sent by the maid just now.
Zhao Chen took a look around and saw that there were almost two to three hundred people present today.
Among them, the Governor of Chuhe was also present, as were the second prince Qin Ming and Prince Yan.
Although this is a conferment ceremony at the imperial elite level, it has never happened before so many high-ranking officials appeared at once.
Zhao Chen and others began to wait where they were, and waited for almost ten minutes.
A beautiful melody began to sound in the hall, and a very beautiful bird flew around, with colorful wings. When it flew, it made a very beautiful sound.
I have to say that it was a royal conferment ceremony, and the scene was quite well done.
However, Zhao Chen looked at the empty throne in front of him, but he still didn't wait for the Emperor Xingyao to appear.
The music continued for another five or six minutes, and doubts arose in the hearts of everyone waiting.
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded.
"Emperor Xingyao is in poor health, so the second prince Qin Ming will be responsible for today's conferment ceremony."
Zhao Chen and others looked at the person who spoke.
The princess of Emperor Xingyao, the biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Zhen.
At this moment, the whole place fell into a kind of dead silence.
It is impossible for anyone who can appear here today not to have a city in his heart.
Emperor Xingyao was originally responsible for the conferment ceremony, but now he suddenly complained of illness and couldn't come?
Moreover, the announcement was not made by the queen herself, but by the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhen.
And the second prince was still responsible for the canonization ceremony.
The amount of information in this can be quite terrifying.
Many people began to wonder in their minds.
Could it be said that this is Emperor Xingyao officially starting to support the second prince?
The second prince will become the new crown prince.
What about the little princess?
Right!
The little princess was not here today.
Zhao Chen didn't change his expression, but he was already thinking about various possibilities in his mind.
"I now announce that the canonization ceremony has begun." Concubine Zhen looked down at the people below, her eyes filled with excitement.
After waiting for so many years, she finally got her day.
The second prince Qin Ming walked down slowly, followed by a row of ceremonial maids, holding brocade boxes in their hands. Naturally, the brocade boxes gave new identities to each of the people who were granted the title.
"Zisu Star Territory, Lord of the Bird of Paradise Galaxy, bestows the title of Marquis."
The second prince Qin Ming walked over one by one and personally placed new noble medals on them.
Finally it was Zhao Chen's turn.
The second prince Qin Ming read out the words while taking out the Marquis Medal for Zhao Chen.
"Beifeng Star Territory, Lord of Xiaolong Galaxy, bestows the title of Marquis."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhao Chen put his hand on his chest and made a noble salute.
At this time, the title request for Zhao Chen's annual mission was directly announced as completed.
After that, it was the turn of the people behind Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen stood there waiting for the end of the award ceremony.
Just as the awarding ceremony was underway in this somewhat special atmosphere.
Suddenly, a small shuttle landed directly outside the hall, and an officer dressed as an officer ran out and knelt directly in the hall.
Being able to directly drive the shuttle in on such an occasion is enough to show his identity or the special nature of his responsibilities.
"Report! His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who is responsible for investigating the attack on the eldest prince, has obtained important clues.
But just now His Highness the Third Prince sent a request for help message. The message showed that His Highness the Third Prince's interstellar fleet was raided by the little princess's royal fleet and suffered heavy losses, so he requested support.
According to the investigation results of the incident reported by His Highness the Third Prince... it is suspected... it is suspected." The soldier hesitated and did not dare to speak clearly.
The little princess’s royal fleet attacks the third prince’s fleet?
When the news broke, everyone present was dumbfounded.
"What's the suspicion! These are all ministers of the Star Empire, please tell me directly!" Concubine Zhen looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
