I really can't control myself

"It's ours! It's ours!" A group of ministers were standing, and one of the old ministers, whose name Linton couldn't remember, suddenly pulled another minister next to him excitedly, and shouted excitedly, even a little out of control.

The reason why this minister named Fingomes was so excited was naturally because the rabbit that Xiao Lin Rui was biting was offered by his family. In other words, his family was chosen.

This was a huge surprise. After all, their family didn't receive any notification at the beginning, which means that there should be an unexpected situation in the lottery.

Such a situation is not impossible, but it is quite rare. After all, the final result was chosen by a child. Even if the preparation is thorough, there will inevitably be unexpected situations.

Of course, what he didn't know was that because Yalan had forgotten to make arrangements, no matter who was chosen from the remaining seven families, it was an unexpected situation. After all, no one was notified.

Precisely because they were not notified, this huge surprise was much more intense than the surprise that was greeted in advance. Now the Earl of Fingomes was as excited as Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination, and he was so happy that he almost lost his composure.

Count Fingomes didn't know whose opportunity his family had robbed, but no matter what, in public, the crown prince seized their gift, so the matter was settled and could not be changed. Now their family is obviously going to soar to the sky.

Fortunately, the situation of Count Fingomes was not as serious as Fan Jin. After going crazy for a while, he returned to normal.

After calming down, he looked at the ministers next to him as soon as possible. He actually wanted to pay attention to which minister's opportunity was robbed by their family.

Yes, the family that was selected to present the gift was obviously not an ordinary family. The threshold was not low. Although it was said before that five of the eight candidates were from the family of Yalan's pregnant friend, think about what family background the pregnant friend of the former empress and the current queen must have. These families are considered high-ranking families in the imperial city where nobles are everywhere.

Of course, there are many members of these families who serve in the court. How can the family maintain its prestige without anyone serving in the court? So these seven candidate families actually have people standing among the ministers.

Count Fingomes certainly knows which families are involved in the other matters, and now he is focusing on the expressions of these families. Because they have robbed their family of their great opportunity, they are probably going to be enemies, so they have to quickly determine which family is the enemy.

As a result, he found strangely that the expressions of the ministers of the remaining six families when they looked at him seemed to be similar, and no family showed particularly obvious hatred.

Looking at their expressions, they all seemed to have the same unexpected expression of "it turned out to be your family".

Count Fingomes was a little strange. If it were him, he would definitely make a scene on the spot. What about their family?

No, no, although Count Fingomes thought so at first, he thought carefully and didn't dare to make a scene.

It was agreed, but this was a private operation after all. Even if everyone knew about it, it couldn't be put on the surface.

This is obviously not something that can be done. Once it is done, it will be a slap in the face of the royal family. Therefore, the family that should have won the bid reacted so quickly and had figured it out, so they didn't show it.

I can only say that this is hidden deep enough. I was too happy just now and lost my mind, so I didn't pay attention to the expressions of the other families. Now it's too late to find out which family it is, and the other party has hidden their expressions.

This matter... is a little troublesome. The other families won't be that bad, but the family whose opportunity was robbed by me will definitely retaliate against them, which is equivalent to adding a mortal enemy, and a hidden mortal enemy.

But he thought about it again, it seems that it's not their family that is anxious. Their family is about to soar to the sky, and the one who should be anxious should be the other party. Anyway, now that they have robbed it, they will never spit out what they have already got. If you want to make trouble, just come and find it at any time.

Let's be happy first, and talk about what happens later.

Just when Count Fingomes was fighting wits and courage with the air, their family's gift had been bitten off by the crown prince. Obviously realizing that this thing cannot be eaten, Xiao Lin Rui's expression was very aggrieved.

"Hurry up and start the banquet, look how hungry the child is." Linton couldn't help but say as he looked at the aggrieved expression of the little guy.

In short, the lengthy ceremony was completely over here, and it was indeed time to start the banquet.

Linton stood up and walked to the high platform above. He was not going to give any speeches or anything like that. This was indeed a very suitable opportunity to win over the ministers, but Linton didn't want to give any speeches more than winning over the ministers. It was too troublesome.

Just when he was about to directly announce the start of the banquet, he suddenly saw a cluster of fire in the distance.

It was obvious that there was a fire in the city, and it was within the inner city of the imperial city, but Linton didn't know where it was.

Although he was the emperor, he didn't know how many palaces there were in the imperial palace, so how could he know where the fire was.

It seemed that the fire was quite big. After all, it was noon now, and the sun was very big in the sky. In this case, obvious fire could still be seen, and it was obvious that the fire had already reached a certain scale.

Of course, it was not only Linton, many ministers below also noticed it. The scene suddenly became a little chaotic, and many people realized that something might have happened.

"Ahem..." But at this moment, Linton coughed a few times, and soon the chaotic scene just started to become quiet again. It must be said that Linton has this kind of deterrent power.

"Anyway, the time is up, let's have a banquet." Linton announced directly.

It was obvious that Linton was not going to care about the fire over there, and the ministers here naturally understood the meaning, and pretended not to see the situation over there.

Soon, under the leadership of some maids, they began to sit down at the banquet venue next to them. Although they were also curious about what was going on over there, they were curious, and they also knew that curiosity killed the cat. His Majesty the Emperor asked them not to pay attention to it, and who dared to pay attention to it.

Of course, the fire over there quickly became smaller, and gradually only a little black smoke could be seen. Yes, although Linton didn't mean to care, his men of course went to check the situation immediately and put out the fire immediately.

Not long after, the situation was also reported to Linton.
