The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Countless eyes of fear or awe fell on the Regent, but he seemed unaware and continued to calmly follow the Grand Princess to the high position.

"Achen, you should be more restrained in your behavior in the future." The eldest princess frowned and whispered, "Look, they are all afraid of you."

The regent glanced at everyone indifferently and replied nonchalantly: "Isn't this good? I like to see them fear me."

The eldest princess was choked by his words. After a moment of silence, she reluctantly uttered, "His Majesty has really spoiled you."

"The emperor's favor is a great blessing, how can it be described as 'bad'?" The regent raised his lips, his clear black eyes without any warmth.

The eldest princess looked at him in surprise.

For some reason, she always felt that there was some sarcasm in Achen's tone when he said this.

However, he has a deep relationship with His Majesty, and it must have been his illusion just now.

The eldest princess immediately dispelled the unreliable thoughts in her mind.

Then she expressed her concern again.

"Ah Chen, you have been acting more and more flamboyantly in recent years, and have offended too many people. Now that your Majesty is protecting you, you will be safe. But I'm going to say something disrespectful, what about after your Majesty has been gone for a hundred years?

You know the character of our nephews. No matter which one of them ascends to the throne, no one will protect you as Your Majesty does.

How will you cope with it then?"

The eldest princess spoke slowly.

She tried to pronounce each word as clearly as possible, hoping that her younger brother, who was 20 to 30 years younger than her, would understand every word she said.

But she was destined to be disappointed.

Even though Regent Liu Yuechen's mood fluctuated because of her gentle concern, the emperor's suspicion was like a steel knife hanging over his head. The oppressive feeling that might fall at any time drove him to never dare to reveal his true thoughts at any time.

"My brother said that he would arrange everything and told me not to worry about anything."

Seeing that he looked indifferent, the eldest princess immediately frowned.

She wanted to say something more.

But the other party seemed to have lost his patience, "Royal sister, today is your birthday, there are so many people here waiting for you to hold a banquet, don't focus on unimportant things!"

The eldest princess sighed in her heart.

That's it.

Since he didn't want to listen, she didn't say anything.

"Then let's have a feast—"

She no longer lowered her voice as she had done before when she whispered to the Regent. Instead, her voice was loud, steady and dignified when she said "the banquet is open".

Everyone started to eat, and Yiqing also began to taste the delicacies in front of him.

The pastries on the table were beautifully made. Yiqing tried a few pieces and then felt a little dry in the mouth.

Fortunately, the table had been filled with tea, so she picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

The maidservant who was waiting not far away immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "My lord, please allow me to add more tea for you."

Yiqing nodded slightly and moved slightly to the side to make it easier for her to pour the tea.

The maid then came closer.

The closer the distance between two people, some details that would not otherwise be noticed will be magnified.

Yiqing looked at her sideways, his fingertips tapping the table unconsciously, and his originally distracted gaze had been replaced by a thoughtful look at some point.

It’s weird.

The maid's face clearly had a focused expression, her movements were meticulous, and she looked very experienced and calm, but why was her breathing so irregular?

After thinking for a moment, I still couldn't figure it out.

As the maidservant filled the teapot and was about to step back, Yiqing stopped her.

The maid looked up in confusion, "What else do you want, my Lord?"

Yiqing went straight to the point, "What are you nervous about?"
