Long Ai (3)
"Furthermore, your Luther Kingdom is also a great kingdom. As the Queen, have you never heard of Ye Lang's name?" Vermilion Bird Emperor continued.
"I know, he's just a kid who runs around everywhere," Long Anxi said.
"Running around everywhere? Yes, he does run around everywhere, but he gains the support of every local power he goes to! From the Holy City to the Tiger Tribe to the Aila Empire, every power has a close relationship with him, and he himself possesses incredibly powerful alchemy. That alone is enough to make everyone afraid to be his enemy."
"What's so great about it? It's just alchemy. As for connections, I have them too. I am still the Queen of a country, my Wuji is a real prince, while he is just a figurehead." At this moment, Long Anxi still refused to admit defeat.
"Even my Imperial Prince are no match for that little rascal Ye Lang. Do you think your Wuji can compare? Forget it, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Even if you're stupid, can't you see why your younger siblings didn't leave before? They wanted to befriend Ye Lang. Have you ever seen them befriend you? How many people have gone to Ye Lang's place these past few days? How many of your Wuji are there?" The Vermilion Bird Emperor was utterly disappointed. He left after saying these words.
"Sigh, forget it, you all think it over carefully!" At this point, the Empress Dowager didn't want to say anything more. This daughter wasn't her own; she was born to another princess. She had already done quite well to get to this point.
If anyone should be in charge, it should be the eldest brother, the Vermilion Bird Emperor, but he has already given up. What else can she do?!
After Vermilion Bird Emperor and Empress Dowager left one after another, Long Anxi and her two sons still seemed unwilling to accept the fact, even though they knew that since they came here, almost no one had paid attention to them. Before Ye Lang, she had even been contradicted by one of her younger sisters, which was why she was so angry.
Now that they think about it carefully, if we only consider the number of visitors, Ye Lang seems to have a clear advantage over them. This is something they don't want to admit, but they have to.
At this moment, Long Ai, who hadn't left yet and was tending to the flowers and plants, suddenly said, "Cousin Ye Lang gets thousands of visitors every day, but he doesn't see a single one. That's what Sister Long Ji said..."
Thousands of people? That's a load of bull!
Upon hearing Long Ai's words, Long Anxi and her two children all felt that Princess Longji was boasting. How could there be thousands of people? Did she expect the entire city to visit her?
However, they felt that although there were not thousands of people, there should at least be several hundred, while they themselves seemed to have less than ten.
They didn't know that Princess Longji wasn't lying, and that she had also eliminated many unimportant people; otherwise, the number would have been even greater.
So many people come every day because they can't see Ye Lang. Given Ye Lang's reclusive nature, these thousands of people are probably going to be disappointed.
The more outstanding Ye Lang became, the more jealous Long Anxi and her two children became, and the more they felt humiliated!
There is a type of person who occupies their own status and position, is very arrogant, yet cannot see others as more outstanding than themselves; they are jealous and resentful!
Ye Lang completely ignored such people. Such people will never achieve anything great, and they don't even have the qualifications to be a big villain. A successful person, whether good or bad, should first and foremost have a broad mind and be able to tolerate what others cannot.
Such a villain is no longer a villain, but a ruthless and powerful figure!
A villain who cannot tolerate others will remain a villain for life!
Soon, it was time for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Early in the morning, Ye Lang, Liu Feiyan, and the others set off to familiarize themselves with the Imperial Palace.
Originally, Ye Lang was supposed to go with Ye Chengtian and the others, but Liu Feiyan and the others had their final rehearsal yesterday, so they stayed late. He simply slept at Myriad Flowers Tower and went together the next day.
Whether Ye Lang goes with Ye Chengtian or Long Anqi is irrelevant. If Ye Lang is with them, it will only attract a lot of people to socialize with him, and he is too lazy to pay attention to them.
Now that Ye Lang isn't around, everyone else will look for Ye Chengtian and Long Anqi to be the main characters, while Ye Lang can take a break from his busy schedule!
At that time, Ye Lanyu, the Seventh Princess, and Princess Longji all agreed that Ye Lang had deliberately run away, and they decided that once things calmed down, they would definitely settle accounts with Ye Lang.
Ye Chengtian led his men into the venue, which was a large square in the Imperial Palace, in front of the main hall. Everything had been set up in a short time.
This plaza in front of the main hall cannot be used like this for a long time; it can only be used for a day or two. The decorations will be set up today and must be removed before tonight.
There's a specific arrangement to the seating arrangement: the guests are seated below, while the Vermilion Bird Emperor and Empress Dowager sit at the front of the steps leading up to the main hall, looking down at everyone from their elevated position.
This is natural, as the protagonist and the emperor should be on top so that people can clearly see their actions.
At the same time, keeping a certain distance was also for safety reasons, so that no one would have the opportunity to assassinate the emperor Empress Dowager!
Ye Chengtian and his men naturally stood in the middle of the venue. This was not because no one was entertaining or neglecting them, but because it was not yet time for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to take their seats. No one could take their seats and could only chat and talk in the middle of the venue.
"Sister An Qi, where's your son?" Long Anqi's cousin or younger cousin came over and greeted her very warmly, even though they had never met before.
Not many people in Zhuque knew about Long Anqi before, and even members of the royal family had only recently heard of this princess.
"He had other things to do and wasn't with us," Long Anqi replied with a smile.
"Is there something else? Does that mean he's not coming today?" the younger sister asked.
"No, he's doing a birthday celebration program for his mother, and he'll be on stage then."
"Really? Then I'll have to wait and see!!"
"I'd love to hear it too. These kids all say his style is really interesting..."
"Hehe, then I must hear it..."
Long Anqi smiled and didn't say anything more. She could tell that her younger sister was just trying to appease her. Everyone knew that Ye Lang was an alchemist, but they didn't know that he was also highly accomplished in music.
That's why they felt that Ye Lang's performance was just a formality; the Empress Dowager simply wanted to hear her grandson's music, not some timeless masterpiece. Even if Ye Lang's was just ordinary, it would still make her very happy.
Although the Empress Dowager did think so, Ye Lang's strength was definitely not ordinary.
