Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

On January 1, New Year's Eve, according to the custom of the Imperial Capital Star, the palace will hold a grand banquet, and all officials who participate in the weekly meeting will bring their wives and children to attend. The emperor will also attend with the empress and a group of princes and princesses. The monarch and his subjects use this opportunity to bond.

Some small games were also held at the banquet, which were used as entertainment to please the emperor and also as an opportunity for the nobles to show their faces in front of the emperor. If they performed well, the emperor would give them some rewards if he was happy.

Unless there are extremely special circumstances, basically everyone will participate.

This year, the Seaforth couple planned to take Kane and Ryan with them. Ryan and Xu Weiwei were too young, and there were too many people at the banquet, and they had to socialize with their colleagues, so it was difficult for them to keep an eye on the children. Moreover, the palace was different from other places. It was an honor given by the emperor for them to go there by themselves, and it would be inconsiderate to bring servants with them.

"Be good and stay home and play with brother Ryan. Mom will be back in the evening." Before leaving, Mrs. Sivers hugged her daughter and gave her a kiss.

Ryan eagerly reminded them: "Don't forget to bring back the pie."

The stuffed pie Ryan was talking about is made with the fruit of a rare protected plant as the filling. Ordinary people are not allowed to pick it, and it can be considered a specialty of the royal palace.

"I know, I know." The two brothers said perfunctorily.

"Take two copies, and one for my sister," Ryan added.

This time Kane and Ryan nodded seriously.

After giving the instructions, the four people dressed in their best drove away.

The remaining people at home were not idle either. Xifusi was a large family. The old man's branch had always been the head of the family. There were two other branches, all of which had taken root on other planets. They rarely met each other on weekdays, but on New Year's Eve, they would return to the main house and celebrate the New Year together. Then they would stay together for at least two or three days.

The servants started tidying up the guest rooms, cleaning the house, and ventilating the rooms early in the morning. The kitchen was busy from the night before, preparing a New Year's Eve dinner for 20 to 30 people, as well as cakes and desserts. It was no small task. Especially for a wealthy family like the Seaforth, the food was even more exquisite.

Infected by this busy atmosphere, Xu Weiwei was also very excited today, and was full of anticipation. She followed the servants everywhere, her four legs moving very fast. She watched this one make the bed, watched that one beat the cream, and then took a few bites of food.

At around ten o'clock, the family welcomed the first wave of relatives. There were more than a dozen people, and the old man went up to hug them warmly, then held Xu Weiwei and introduced them one by one.

"This is your second grandfather, this is your second grandmother, your uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, and eldest sister, second brother, third brother, fourth sister..."

Xu felt dizzy.

"Hey~ Xiao Weiwei! I finally meet you today. Come, call me uncle. I have a gift~"

Xu Weiwei's eyes lit up. Here it comes! The most anticipated part of the New Year's Eve is the lucky money! But no, she has to pretend.

Xu Weiwei looked at her grandparents timidly: Who is this? They are so strange, so many people, I don't know them, I'm scared.

As expected, the old couple came to protect their child.

"You want Wei'er to call for help without paying? You're dreaming! If you don't make our Wei'er happy, we won't ask for it, right?"

“Hahahaha! Here, here, here, remember, this is from uncle. And this is from Ryan…”

"Here, Second Uncle has some too, in addition to the red envelope... Ding Ding Ding Ding!" The man took out a beautiful bracelet like a magician, "Second Uncle also has a gift, isn't it much better than your uncle's?"

"Get lost! You act like no one has anything. My gift is huge. Can Weier open it herself later?"

Ryan jumped up and waved his hands: "Uncle, where's mine?"

……

In the palace, Mrs. Seaforth looked up: "Second Uncle and the others have arrived. Look, Mom recorded the video."

A big one and two small ones leaned over.

"There are so many people! It's so lively. I want to go home."

"Isn't it lively here?" Mrs. Seaforth asked with amusement.

Kane looked up at the magnificent banquet hall filled with people, frowned and described it with difficulty: "It's lively here, but it's different from the liveliness at home. I prefer the liveliness at home."

Sifos knew exactly what his son meant. He patted his head and said gently, "How about we go back early today and leave right after the dinner?"

"That will take a long time, oh~" the two children sighed like little adults.

"Didn't you promise your brothers and sisters that you would bring them pie for the dinner party?"

"That's right, let's just hold on a little longer!"

"Awesome."

"Hi! Tina!"

When she heard someone calling her name, Mrs. Seaforth looked up and found that it was her good friend Mrs. Wolfhard waving at her not far away. The two groups gathered together and found a sofa area to sit down and chat.

"I haven't seen Kane and Ryan for a long time. They have grown so big."

"It's the same with Finn. I see he's grown a lot taller. He's about 1.3 meters tall now. Come and compare himself with Kane." Mrs. Seaforth motioned her eldest son to come over.

"No, less than 128 meters, cm," Mrs. Wolfhard corrected.

"That's not short. I remember Kane was 124cm last time I measured him."

The two children stood back to back. Kane tried his best to stand straight, but it was still obvious that Finn was one or two centimeters taller.

Mrs. Seaforth was not surprised by this result, after all, Finn looked taller, but she was surprised that Kane had grown a lot taller. She couldn't help but sigh: "Children grow up so fast, they are really different every day. I live with them every day, and I often feel that they change so fast."

"Who said it wasn't true? Finn won't even let me in the shower now. I always think he's still a bed-wetter."

"Mom!" Finn said angrily with a red face.

"Okay, okay, I won't expose your shortcomings, okay?" After saying that, she immediately covered her mouth with one hand, leaned close to her bestie and whispered, "Our Finn is really thin-skinned."

The wives talked about family and children, while the two men talked about work.

"I heard that Minister He has blocked your military funding for a year."

Sifos raised his eyebrows but did not deny it.

"General Sifos is really wealthy."

With a sneer, Seaforth said, "Don't flatter me, as if your Wolfhard family can't afford it."

Wolfhard shook his head slowly. "That's different."

Wolfhard did not elaborate on the specific differences, but changed the subject.

"Do you know about the change of command in the 11th Army?"

Sifos's eyes fell on a father and son on the field, and he took a sip of wine and said, "I've heard of it."

The father and son, the younger one looked to be in his forties, the older one already had gray hair. They were trying to curry favor with people in the crowd with their eight arms like an octopus.

"What difference does it make whether it is changed or not? Aren't they all from the Jin family? They are so shameless to make the official position a 'hereditary system' so blatantly."

After being surprised, Wolfhard couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that Sifos would be so bold and point it out directly without any scruples.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others about your words?"

Seaforth blinked, "Would you?"

Wolfhard choked. Then Seaforth raised his glass, and the two smiled at each other and clinked their glasses.
