Chapter 930
Ye Xingguang not only did not plan to attend Geshu Yuan’s birthday banquet, she also told Vice Officer Han: “Go inform all the rulers of the vassal states, the elders of the six great clans, and the reputable figures in the imperial capital. Tonight, I will be holding a welcome banquet in the palace to welcome the rulers of the major vassal states who have come from afar, to cleanse them of the dust of travel.”
Vice Officer Han: “Should we consult with the six elders about this?”
Ye Xingguang threw a cold glance: “What, as the soon-to-be empress of the Atlantis Empire, do I need to consult the six elders and get their approval to hold a banquet? Am I a puppet being manipulated by them?”
“Of— of course not, I’ll handle it immediately.”
Vice Officer Han dared not say more and bowed as he withdrew.
As soon as Vice Officer Han left, Ye Xingguang furrowed her brows tightly, fearing that Vice Officer Han would shirk his duties, she turned to Fu Zhuo and said: “Brother Fu, follow Vice Officer Han. This is the first banquet I am hosting, it must not be mishandled. Ensure that all the relevant guests are invited. I want no one to attend Geshu Yuan’s banquet. Do you understand my intention?”
Fu Zhuo said: “I understand, but I’m not familiar with this underwater world. Besides those rulers and the elders of the six great clans, I’m clueless about who else should be invited. You need to find someone familiar with this world for me, otherwise, even if I’m deceived, I might not be aware.”
“Alright, go find Bai Xiao, he is well-informed about this place. I will send you his contact information later, hurry and go.”
Fu Zhuo nodded, stepped up, and went after Vice Officer Han.

That evening, Geshu Yuan held her birthday banquet at the empire’s largest hotel. The birthday banquet was even grander than a wedding, the hall was brilliantly illuminated. She had finished her makeup and, seeing that it was about time, arrived at the entrance of the hall to greet the guests.
Little did she know, the bustling scene she had envisioned did not materialize. Few attended her birthday banquet except for some close girlfriends, Geshu family members, and some boys who wished to pursue her.
These guests were simply not significant enough.noveldrama
What’s happening?
Hadn’t she sent invitations to all the rulers of the vassal states? Even Ye Weiqiang, the ruler of Cartalia who usually spoiled her, did not attend her birthday banquet. Wasn’t it agreed to persuade other rulers to boycott Muya Jiushu’s coronation?
Even the empire’s most handsome man, Bai Yalan, whom she liked, didn’t attend her birthday banquet, only sending a gift instead.
Geshu Yuan’s heart was breaking, she grabbed Bai Yalan’s assistant and asked: “Why didn’t Brother Bai come? Didn’t he say he had the time?”
“I’m truly sorry, Miss Geshu. Her Highness the Queen suddenly held a banquet tonight and informed Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai couldn’t refuse, so he had to attend the Queen’s banquet. However, Mr. Bai said he would come to support your event after the banquet.”
“!!!”
Muya Jiushu, you despicable woman!
Daring not to attend her birthday, yet stealing her guests!
…
At the palace’s state banquet hall, tonight the elite gathered. Ye Xingguang sat on the queen’s throne, holding a wine glass, sharing fine wine with the rulers of the vassal states and other guests.
To her left, there were two small chairs that caught everyone’s attention, especially Mo Yinhe who, with his cool icy face and squinted eyes, surveyed the people seated on both sides of the state banquet hall, making others shiver.
