......

Gao Tian asked the baby insect, "Do you know what Chinese New Year is?"

"Isn't it just your New Year?"

Gao Tian looked up and smiled at him: "Not entirely. This 'New Year' refers to a major festival on Earth, called the Spring Festival."

"But hasn't your New Year already begun? January 1st, New Year's Day. Today is February 1st."

He remembers very clearly that they went to get their marriage certificate that day.

"Hey, you remembered New Year's Day well." Gao Tian laughed, reached out and gently scratched his chin with his fingertips, then kissed him.

"We have two calendars. The New Year on January 1st is called New Year's Day, which is based on the solar calendar, that is, the calendar that follows the sun's revolution. The Earth revolves around the sun in 365 or 366 days, which is very regular, and that is the solar calendar."

Lan frowned slightly. "Isn't this calendar good enough? I don't understand why humans would invent two calendars."

"So, this Spring Festival..."

"The Spring Festival is calculated according to the lunar calendar," Gao Tian patiently explained to him. "It's also called the agricultural calendar. This calendar is very old; it determines the months and days by observing the phases of the moon. A full moon takes about 29 and a half days, which is one month. So, a lunar month sometimes has 29 days, and sometimes 30 days."

"Because the lunar cycle is not completely synchronized with the solar year, a lunar year is about 10 days shorter than a solar year. This accumulates and makes the year longer and longer. Our ancestors were very clever, so they invented the leap month."

"Leap month?" Lan frowned and repeated the new term.

It's a bit complicated.

"Yes," Gao Tian smiled, finding Lan's attentive listening particularly endearing. "Every three or four years, we add an extra month to the lunar year to make up for the time difference. This way, the lunar months can roughly correspond to the changes in the seasons."

"So, the date of the Spring Festival varies every year, but it's about a month later than the Gregorian New Year's Day, fluctuating between January 21st and February 20th. This year it's on February 4th, just three days away."

"So the one on January 1st is the New Year of the Sun. And this one coming soon is the New Year of the Moon?"

"The Crown Prince is so clever." Gao Tian couldn't help but laugh, pinching his soft cheeks, only to be slapped in return.

"You can understand it this way: New Year's Day, January 1st, is our second most important holiday, while the Spring Festival is the first, truly bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new. It's the most lively and important festival of the year. We put up Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, eat New Year's Eve dinner, stay up late on New Year's Eve, pay New Year's visits, and receive lucky money..."

Now that things had come to this point, Gao Tian teased his baby worm, "Do you want some New Year's money? I'll give you a big one!"

Looking at the light gleaming in Gao Tian's eyes, Lan's frustration from being dominated by the dog hair completely vanished.

He grasped Gao Tian's hand in return and said matter-of-factly, "I'll wrap you up a big one."

After all, I'm your father.

Gao Tian paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing uncontrollably: "How big of a bag are you going to wrap for me?"

The Crown Prince was about to say that he would give him a few more planets when the Crown Princess stopped him from speaking.

The Crown Princess kissed his lips and chuckled softly.

So you're sending another planet, aren't you? Great Crown Prince.

He grasped Lan's hand in return, their fingers intertwined, and kissed him tenderly: "No need, just spend the New Year with me..."

The Crown Prince has been largely appeased. The slight displeasure he felt from the dog hair has long since vanished. Now, he looks at the Crown Princess with focused eyes, like a cat slowly blinking at a human.

The Crown Princess smiled, but before she could finish her words to coax the Crown Prince, Bambo, who was standing to the side, glanced at the message on the data panel, and the data panel suddenly slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess looked at him together.

Then they discovered that Bamp's performance was not quite right.

"What's wrong, Bambo?"

Bam stood frozen in place, his face ashen.

The encrypted data tablet he always carried with him was now lying face down on the marble floor, with a slight crack on the edge.

"Bambo?" Blue's voice was filled with more doubt.

Gao Tian frowned slightly, looking worried: "What happened?"

Bambo trembled as he picked up the data tablet from the ground.

The screen was lit up, displaying a summary of an emergency communication marked with the highest level of alert.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Bambo swallowed hard, his voice trembling with fear, and managed to say, "Just now, just now we received a high-level emergency message from... from the central star... The Insect Emperor has sent an envoy..."

The air froze instantly.

The Crown Prince's gentle expression vanished instantly, his brows furrowing: "The Insect Emperor's envoy? Who? What?"

Bampo gripped the data panel tightly with both hands, as if only that could give him a sense of security.

He stood frozen, his lips trembling, and with great effort, he managed to squeeze out the name from deep in his throat: "It's...it's Orion."

Time seemed to have been paused.

Blue's expression shifted from confusion to solemnity, and then to a blank look of disbelief.

He seemed to have been struck on the head, not having heard clearly, or perhaps simply refusing to believe his ears, and asked again:

"What?"

Bamba's back was soaked with cold sweat.

He struggled to lift his head, meeting the Crown Prince's eyes, each word his tongue seemed to roll over a knife's edge: "Your Highness, it is Orion."

Back then, their planet, the Bumblebee, was slaughtered by Orion's pirate crew.

Something exploded in Lan's mind.

Every word Bampo spoke was like a bullet, piercing his head.

"Orion?"

"Yes. The Insect King restored Orion's status as a prince, clearing his name of his past as a space pirate. And... he transferred the former palace of His Majesty Atticus, the First Prince, to Orion."

This sounded so outrageous that it seemed like he had misheard. Lan asked again incredulously, "What?"

Bampo didn't want to talk; his face was deathly pale.

But he is His Highness's adjutant.

As the Crown Prince's adjutant, he had to clearly reiterate this cruel fact: "The Insect Emperor restored Orion's status as a prince, cleared his name of his past as a space pirate, appointed him as the Insect Emperor's special envoy, and gave him full authority to handle the establishment of diplomatic relations with Earth. Furthermore, he transferred the former residence of His Majesty Atticus, the First Prince, to Orion."

Bampo repeated it again.

This time, he probably didn't mishear.

Each sentence was like an ice scalpel, completely severing the last vestige of fragile peace between the Crown Prince and the Insect King.

Lan remained silent for a long time before erupting.

"Insect, Emperor."

All that remained in his heart was a burning hatred and raging fury that had completely consumed everything.

Hatred is a flame at zero degrees Celsius; he is a burning ice sculpture.

Blue's azure pupils suddenly contracted sharply, turning almost pure white, and instantly becoming sharp needle-shaped.

His teeth transformed into sharp shark teeth, and a powerful killing intent surged from his body.

Blue gritted his teeth, his shark teeth grinding together as he chewed on bone and blood between his teeth, uttering the name of his dear uncle, who shared the same name as Orion, word by word.

"Oh, Ryan."

His female father was Atticus Skelway, the Queen of the Zerg Empire of Lyrnia, the Silver of Cosmic Radiance, a great king representing justice and refinement.

The Insect King should never, and cannot, insult him like this.

He gave his father's princely palace to a disgraced space pirate, a defeated foe of his father.

It also allowed him to reappear openly in the sunlight of the Zerg Empire.

What makes the Insect King so special?

Why should his mother's palace be given to a lowly dog ​​as casually as a bone?

This was the most vicious insult to his father-in-law's life.

Lan covered her eyes.

Gao Tian knew how important it was for his little butterfly to be born first and then to be born later.

One glance revealed that Little Butterfly's body was taut like a bow stretched to its limit. He gritted his teeth, his shark teeth digging deep into his lower lip, drawing blood from it.

Gao Tian's heart clenched painfully.

Ignoring Lan's sharp shark teeth, he reached out and pried open his mouth: "Baby, let go first."

"Don't bite yourself. If you're too sad, you can bite me, okay?"

He didn't know how powerful the Crown Prince was; all he knew was that his baby was heartbroken.

A few tears welled up in the Crown Prince's eyes, which had shrunk to pinpoints.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Tian immediately opened his arms and pulled him into his embrace, pressing his head against his shoulder to give him room to shrink in.

Gao Tian hugged him tightly, using all his strength: "It's okay, baby, I'll help you. We'll go and take back the Queen's palace."

The Crown Prince originally didn't want him to hold him or see him.

His half-insect form is too ugly; Gao Tian will dislike him.

But Gao Tian held on too tightly.

The Crown Prince's tears silently soaked his shoulder.

The Crown Prince is arrogant and very powerful.

He's just so angry right now, he's about to cry. He's just being vulnerable for a short while, he'll be fine soon, really.

The vertical pupil suddenly contracted and then dilated, its nictitating membrane, which had become completely inhuman, blinked once, and then slowly returned to its round shape.

The sharp shark teeth gradually retracted, eventually reverting to the neat teeth of a human.

The Crown Prince buried his face in his wife's shoulder and choked out a sob.

His female father's palace was filthy by the Insect King and those two old bastards, Orion.

Gao Tian felt his tense body slowly relax, and he pressed down on him, becoming heavy. He hugged him even tighter and comforted him, "It's okay, baby. We'll take back the Queen's palace and kill the King and Orion together..."

I was hoping to have a good New Year, but I can't.

Gao Tian held the little butterfly, who was crying silently with her head buried in his shoulder, and his heart was breaking.

With only three days left until the Lunar New Year, the situation suddenly changed, and this year's New Year is destined to be anything but peaceful.

The lobby door was suddenly pushed open with such force that the heavy, special glass door slammed against the wall and nearly shattered.

Bishen also received the news.

Lu Jianan has not contacted them these past few days.

Bi Shen was already angry because Lu Jianan had left him hanging, and when he heard this news, his mind went blank and he was furious.

He rushed to Lan and Gao Tian, ​​completely ignoring the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's embrace, grabbed the Crown Prince by the back of the neck, and lifted him to his feet: "Stop crying! Don't cry, dry yourself off!"

In fact, the Crown Prince has been a crybaby since he was a child.

From a young age, Bishen yelled at me not to cry, and to fight back if anyone bullied me.

The mantis prince and the little prince, both without a female father, were invincible in the kindergarten. In short, they would beat anyone who bullied them until no one dared to bully them anymore.

He grabbed the Crown Prince and made him stand up straight. Bi Shen roared at him, offering no comfort whatsoever, only the fury of someone who dared to provoke him and demanding his utmost punishment: "What are you crying for! You have the nerve to cry! Isn't this all your fault for not being able to bring down the Insect Emperor! You're so weak, yet you still have the nerve to cry!"

"That insect king is really senile! I think he's been completely blinded by those female servant drugs!"

"What is Orion, that space pirate?! A scumbag who kills indiscriminately! Trash! A vermin on the Empire's wanted list, constantly being chased!! To let something like that represent the Zerg Empire. Hahaha. Admiral! He's an admiral, and what am I?!"

"Holy shit!"

Bishon completely lost his temper. He kicked over a heavy decorative low table next to him, and the crystal ornaments on it shattered all over the floor.

"When did I ever want to be on the same level as this kind of trash?!"

"Give me a straight answer, can't we just get that old bastard Insect Emperor to step down?"

Bampo was terrified by Chief of Staff Bishen's words.

To depose the Insect Emperor?! Isn't that tantamount to usurpation?!

What would happen if the insects heard that?

Are there any other insects around?

Bamp quickly alerted his surroundings.

Lan looked into Bishen's eyes, which were also burning with flames.

They have accumulated enough strength that they may now be able to put up a fight against the royalist nobles.

They were going to fight the Insect King and those old nobles behind him to the death; it was either him or them. There would be a final battle between them.

"OK."

She raised her hand and fiercely wiped away the bloodstains on her lips and the remaining wetness on her eyelashes with her sleeve.

The Crown Prince firmly repeated, "Yes."
