As the weather warms up, Youyou is now five years old. He could have started kindergarten last year, but Chu Yang felt that he was still too young, so he postponed it for another year.
Five-year-old Youyou is thinner and shorter than other children his age. It's his first time leaving home for a strange place, and the little guy isn't too keen on it.
After Chu Yang took him to class, he clung to his leg and refused to let go. No matter how the teacher tried to coax him, the little guy wouldn't listen.
In the end, it was a few kids from his class who came over to talk to him and invited him to play games with them, which allowed Chu Yang to escape.
While he was playing, Chu Yang quickly left, but still feeling uneasy, he secretly crouched down under the window to peek at him.
"Your Excellency Chu Yang..."
Chu Yang quickly made a shushing gesture to the passing teacher, and then whispered.
"I'm still a little worried, let me take another look."
Sure enough, less than a few minutes later, Youyou turned around and, not seeing Chu Yang, burst into tears.
Despite his young age, he cried very loudly. Upon seeing this, the teacher quickly came over, picked him up, and began to comfort him in various ways.
The other little ones also gathered around the teacher, giving all their toys to Youyou and comforting him so he wouldn't cry.
Chu Yang, who was hiding under the window, heard Youyou's heart-wrenching cries and felt a pang of pain, but he couldn't go in. This was a process, and there was still much more to learn in the future. He couldn't just give up his studies because he was reluctant to leave.
The Imperial Star has been quite lively lately, with many prominent insects gathering here because the once-in-a-decade Imperial Star Council meeting is in two days, which all the planet lords of the entire intergalactic world will be attending.
The meeting was held in the palace, and Xiao Mufeng, as the future Zerg Emperor, presided over the entire meeting.
The Insect King is getting old, and with many worries to deal with every day, his energy is waning.
"Father, this is the agenda for this meeting. Please take a look."
The Insect King didn't take it to look at it, but just pursed his lips and said to him.
"Mu Feng, more than this matter, I'd like to talk to you about your marriage."
As he spoke, the Insect King took out a photo album from the drawer under the table.
"These are high-level male insects on the Imperial Star that are currently not mating. Take a look and see if there are any you like."
He took the album and casually flipped through the photos. They were all young adult male insects, some fat and some thin, but none of them could compare to Chu Yang.
"As you know, as an insect king, you can't have a male lord, just like me. If you want a male lord, you can only ask that the other party can't marry other insects. All of this was discussed in advance, and they all guaranteed that they wouldn't look for other insects."
"Father, I don't like any of these. If I find a suitable insect, I will definitely tell you. Even if there isn't a suitable one, I don't have to get married, just like you."
The Insect King smiled helplessly, got up, and slowly walked outside.
"Ah, actually, the female father still hopes you can find a male master, so you can lay more eggs, and maybe even have a male offspring, just like my female father's female father."
As Xiao Mufeng walked alongside him, a figure suddenly flashed through his mind, and other thoughts began to form.
"Father, I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of, so I'll be going now."
Xiao Mufeng smiled and quickened his pace.
The words of the female father just now reminded him that if Chu Yang was not Lan Yi'an's illegitimate child, then what about Prince Wenrui, the notoriously lecherous prince?
Furthermore, he remembered that Prince Wenrui's first female ruler was a member of the Lan family, but she disappeared due to some unforeseen circumstances. If…
He became increasingly confident in his idea of a scare worm, and after leaving the palace, he went directly to Lan Yi'an and told him his thoughts.
"Mu Feng, what you're saying might actually be true. My male father had two female brothers, who were born from the same egg. However, one of the female uncles died in an accident years ago. It's said that he had a male son at that time. No wonder he mistook Chu Yang for Wen Tao that day."
Lan Yi'an looked at Xiao Mufeng excitedly, then became dejected.
"But I have no way to get Prince Wenrui's hair."
"That's true. Oh well, it's just my guess. It's just that my female father has been urging me to choose a male master recently. You know that my male master can't have any other insects for life."
Xiao Mufeng took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
“Even if Chu Yang is the male son of Prince Wenrui, he already has female servants and female offspring, so he does not meet the requirements.”
"That's easy. Just make him get a divorce. I believe Chu Yang will be willing."
The two insects chatted idly. Lan Yi'an was still engrossed in how to get his hands on Prince Wenrui's hair, while Xiao Mufeng's eyes flashed with a triumphant glint. His initial goal had been achieved, and all that remained was to wait for the results.
Because of Chu Yang's situation, Lan Yi'an was restless at home and finally decided to visit his female uncle.
Prince Wenrui's title of prince is hereditary, but now the male insects of the Wen family are not of high rank, and their status in officialdom is not as good as before. Without real power, their treatment has naturally declined again and again.
Moreover, given the current situation, it is estimated that this hereditary title will be abolished in a few hundred years.
Thinking about the future decline of the Lan family behind him, and the loss of the prince title to the Wen family who are related to him, he realized that the Ling family would not be as respectful as they are now.
Lan Yi'an arrived at Prince Wenrui's palace, its splendor now surpassing its former glory. He followed the butler into the drawing room.
"Yi'an, what brings you to my place? Are you looking for your brother Wentao?"
Lan Zhuo sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a cup of black tea in his hand, and smiled as he looked at Lan Yi'an at the door.
"Uncle, I've come to see you."
Lan Yi'an walked mysteriously to Lan Zhuo's side, glanced at the servants in the living room, and then smiled at him.
"You all go down."
The servants who had received Lan Zhuo's instructions all left the living room, leaving only the two of them in the large living room.
"Alright, everyone's gone. Do you have some important news to tell me?"
I picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of black tea.
Lan Yi'an opened his personal computer and showed him a picture of Chu Yang.
Upon seeing the insect in the photo, Lan Zhuo's silver-gray eyes narrowed sharply, his mouth gaped open in shock, and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
"His name is Chu Yang. I suspected he was my father's illegitimate son, but I found out he wasn't. This photo was taken secretly when I accompanied His Highness on his inspection tour last time. From this angle, he does look quite like my brother Wen Tao."
After Lan Yi'an finished his introduction, he glanced at Lan Zhuo, who looked flustered, and concluded that Chu Yang must be related to the Wen family.
"It does look somewhat like one, but its hair and pupils are different. It's definitely not a Wen family insect. Besides, since I joined the Wen family, I've collected all the insect eggs that have appeared outside. There's no way I've missed any."
With a faint smile, she took another sip of tea and looked at Lan Yi'an with gentle eyes.
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence."
Lan Yi'an looked regretful as she ate her dessert, talking to herself intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ah, it's a real pity that he isn't. Chu Yang is currently the only male insect captain in the insect race. His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very interested in him. Last time he went to inspect, the two of them even had a meal together. If Chu Yang were an insect from the Lan or Wen family, he would definitely be able to join the royal family."
"Haha, now that you mention it, it is indeed a pity."
A sinister glint flashed across Lan Zhuo's silver-gray eyes, then he looked at Lan Yi'an with a gentle smile on his lips.
