Chapter 229 The Underestimated Little Male

The gilded gates of the palace slowly opened, and the carved bronze rings gleamed warmly under the palace lanterns.

Su An'an, dressed in a silver-white gown, stepped into the inner hall, her skirt sweeping across the gold brick floor, leaving behind faint streaks of light.

Seville's golden wings and Yin Jiuyao's tiger-striped cloak shimmered under the palace lanterns, making the cradle in their arms even more dazzling.
The older brother was wearing a small swaddling cloth embroidered with silver thread, his soft, silvery-purple baby hair clung to his forehead, and his black eyes looked as if they were filled with ice.

Despite being just a baby, he wore the same cold and aloof expression as Seville, his little brows furrowed, as if he didn't care about the hustle and bustle around him.

The younger sister was dressed in a pink and gold tulle skirt, her black baby hair tied into two little buns.

Amber's eyes darted around as she fluttered her wings and reached towards the Queen.

The tip of its wing swept across Yin Jiuyao's cloak, kicking up a string of fine phosphorescent powder, as nimble as a little fox stealing candy.

Queen Jeremy walked quickly down from the throne, her gaze first sweeping over her brother, giving a faint "hmm," before her eyes immediately fixed on her sister.

Her voice instantly softened and trembled: "Oh! My darling!"

She carefully took her younger sister, her fingertips lightly touching the pair of pink and gold butterfly wings. "These little wings are softer than starry gauze!"

The little sister giggled, her tiny hands grasping the jewels on the Queen's crown, her butterfly wings fluttering even more joyfully.

Su An'an shook her head helplessly: "Mother, your favoritism is too obvious."

The Queen, carrying her younger sister, turned and walked towards the throne, waving her hand without looking back.
"You can raise the male offspring roughly!"

After she sat down, she immediately had a maid bring her some milk and fed it to her younger sister herself, without even glancing at her brother in Seville's arms.

Seville silently pulled his brother closer to his chest, and the golden wings gently covered the little guy's ears, as if to shield him from any outside favoritism.

"By the way, these two little ones haven't been named yet, have they?"

Queen Jelinek suddenly looked up as if she had remembered something.

"The baby was just born not long ago, so I haven't had time to think about it yet."

Su An'an picked up a bottle of orange juice and moistened her throat.

The Queen tightened her grip on her sister's arm.

"You guys can discuss and decide on the male offspring, I'll decide on the female offspring!"

She tapped her younger sister's nose with her fingertip, her eyes brimming with smugness:

"Her name will be Elizabeth, followed by the royal surname, and she'll be of the same generation as me!"

Su An'an almost choked on her water and quickly waved her hand:
"Your Majesty, this is against royal protocol!"

She looked at her brother, who was gnawing on the tip of Yin Jiuyao's tail in the cradle, and said earnestly:
"Imperial princesses must undergo a month of adulthood evolution, pass an examination to be granted the title of Crown Princess, and only then can they use the imperial surname after their name."

"That's someone else."

Queen Jerina raised an eyebrow, her fingertips gently brushing against her sister's butterfly wings:
“Our Elizabeth was born a divine beast cub, with innate purifying power, so why can’t she use the royal surname?”

"She deserves the best of everything."

Seeing the Queen's expression, which seemed determined to spoil her younger sister even more, Su An'an said with a helpless yet resolute tone, "No way."

She reached out and hugged her younger sister, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips:
"I don't want my child to receive special treatment because of their mythical beast status; the rules must be followed."

Queen Jeremy's eyes widened in disbelief at her daughter's retort, and after holding back for a long time, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to lash out.

She temporarily set aside the matter of names, then abruptly changed the subject, her tone becoming serious:

"Speaking of which, your investiture ceremony as Crown Princess should be put on the agenda."

The little sister in Su An'an's arms suddenly yawned, and her pink and gold butterfly wings drooped down listlessly.

She lowered her head and gently patted the cub's back, her voice calm:

"Now is not the time. The defense of Area B1 has just been stabilized, and the rebels have not been completely dealt with."

"They're keeping an eye on those things."

The Queen gestured with her chin toward Seville and Yin Jiuyao, saying, "Your most important task now is to recover your health and prepare to receive your investiture."

She suddenly leaned closer and lowered her voice, "This is not only for your identity, but also for the protection of your two children."

"Speaking of which, when I first proposed to make you Crown Princess, those old fogies in the cabinet turned green with rage!"

She poked her younger sister's cheek with her fingertip, her tone full of disdain, "Do you still want to block you like you did when you were conferred the title of duke?"

"They don't even realize that they blew up three rebel strongholds and tore apart so many mutated beasts with their bare hands. Now they don't dare to utter a single word!"

The little sister was amused and giggled, her little wings flapping so that the queen's golden crown jingled.

Looking at her daughter's carefree appearance, and recalling how Lord Hong concocted the miraculous medicine, Su An'an finally nodded:

"Very well, I accept the investiture."

When she looked up, there was no more hesitation in her eyes:

"The higher the position, the greater the power, and the more thoroughly the rebels can be eradicated."

"This is right!"

The Queen smiled so much that fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"The investiture ceremony is scheduled for five days from now. I'll have the master of ceremonies send over the procedures. You don't need to worry about it; just focus on taking care of the baby."

When the message reached StarNet.

The hashtag 【Empress Dowager Conferment】 instantly went viral, generating over 10 billion views within half an hour.

Someone has unearthed a holographic video of Su An'an leading her team in battle during her pregnancy.

Someone unearthed photos of the five "beast husbands" guarding the delivery room.

Even the data on the newly evolved antibody of the Gantteng Wall has become a hot topic.
[Help! What kind of goddess is this?! She can fight, she can give birth, and she even comes with a divine beast cub buff!]

[Am I the only one who noticed that Lord Yin Jiuyao's tiger claws are gleaming from being worn? Is he preparing to become the Crown Princess's head bodyguard?]

[+1 to the comment above! Lord Seville's golden wings have practically wrapped the cub up like a golden dumpling; he's so possessive!]

[Support Su An'an as Crown Princess! Long live the Emperor!]

Dawn five days later.

The gilded palace lanterns stretched from the palace all the way to the investiture square.

Su An'an was dressed in a royal princess's gown embroidered with twelve stars.

As the silver-white skirt swept across the red carpet, the mythical beast totems embroidered with gold thread seemed to come alive.

As soon as I stepped into the square, I heard a deafening roar of cheers.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Princess!"

"Congratulations on Your Highness's investiture!"

Amidst the commotion, Yin Jiuyao and Seville stood guard beside her, warily scanning the crowd.

Ye Yuan, Lan Cangming, and Fei Zhao, who were far away in Area B1, were also remotely monitoring the situation through robots.

Queen Jeremy stood on the high platform, watching her daughter walk towards her step by step, and suddenly gave a wink to the maid behind her.

The maid immediately stepped forward carrying two swaddled babies.

My brother still had that aloof little face, his silvery-purple baby hair gleaming in the morning light.

The little sister fluttered in her swaddling clothes, her pink and gold butterfly wings unfurling.

Tiny specks of light instantly floated into the air above the square, eliciting another gasp from the spectators.

"An An!"

The Queen's voice resonated throughout the venue through the loudspeakers:

"Today is not only your investiture day, but also the beginning of the empire's rebirth."

Su An'an's gaze swept across the dense crowd in the square, and she knew more clearly than ever about the path she had to take.

Queen Jeremiah raised her hand, gesturing for her attendants to unfold the decree, her deep voice resonating throughout the square through the loudspeakers:
"From this day forward, Su An'an is hereby conferred the title of..."

"I object!"
