It was definitely not a trivial matter for the royal princess to celebrate her birthday. In the feudal period, whenever the birthdays of royal members came, it was the time for the nobles to cut their flesh. At least dozens of gold coins, or even thousands of gold coins were sent to the palace. Even when the seasons were bad, the royal family's income was not as high as the gifts received when the direct royal family members celebrated their birthdays. This was one of the reasons why the royal family once flooded. It is said that after an emperor found that he could get tens of thousands of gold coins every time he celebrated his birthday, he began to hold a grand ceremony for the royal family members' birthdays and invited aristocrats.

Later, after the general of power came to power, he ordered the royal family to reduce the demands of plundering wealth from the nobles under the name of birthday parties, and killed some royal branches in the name of bewitching the emperor to hold banquets and blackmail the ministers, which cooled down the momentum of the royal family's grand ceremony. After Magus came to power, some new requirements were added on the basis of these decrees, such as adult royal members not allowed to host large-scale banquets to receive gifts, and only minor direct royal family members could handle their birthdays on important birthdays, which completely shattered the royal family's way of making money through "court banquets".

If Magus hadn't formulated these regulations, it would be impossible to say that the palace would be like a hotel today, and could come in and hold various banquets as long as you spend money.

This is the princess' adult birthday, so of course she has to do it. After all, this is the last time she can celebrate her birthday in the spotlight. The current financial problems of the royal family are somewhat serious and it is no longer possible to provide these children who are not valued to maintain a luxurious life. This also means that from today on, part of the expenses of His Royal Highness will rely on her own efforts.

It’s all about Magus. This is the consensus of the royal family. Without Magus, everything wouldn’t be what he is today.

Margus, who was deeply hated by the royal family, was smoking outside the banquet hall with Dulin. Of course, if they insisted on smoking in the palace, no one would say anything, but this was about upbringing and decent, so they took the initiative to leave the palace.

Magus looked at Dulin with a calm look and asked with a smile, "Do you feel nervous?"

Dulin glanced back at him, lowered his head and slapped the ashes, slapped his pants, then raised his head and replied, "Nervous? What is that?"

"You know what I mean!"

Du Lin smiled and shook his head and said, "No, although she is a princess, I am not nervous. It's not that I'm too arrogant. I think among my peers, including smaller or larger people, there will be no one better than me. Those who are nervous should be those people. They have a better foundation than me. The current achievements are far less than me. They are the ones who should be nervous, not me." He took a deep breath of cigarettes, and the hidden flames on the cigarette butts became brighter. He blew the smoke and said, "And, I don't plan to marry a royal princess."

His answer made Magus interested, and he couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say last time that you asked me to introduce the royal princess to you?"

"Yes, I said it." Du Lin inserted the cigarette butt in his hand into the white and fine sand that was specially used to extinguish the cigarette butts. The moment he inserted it, there was no longer any smoke angry. He reincarnated and looked at Magus, unbuttoned the buttons of his shirt. He was a little hot, "I was just talking and playing. Now everyone knows that the royal ship has sunk. Do you think I will still get on the boat?"

Magus sighed, "Why are you always so realistic? Is it not good to be a little romantic? Just pretend to cheat me, the old guy?"

The royal family is no longer the royal family in the past. Magus cut off most of the royal family's income sources and did not give them an overly relaxed environment, so that they would face financial problems with tight financial problems at all times, so that they would not have time and money to play some ridiculous tricks. Secondly, the royal family had no actual power in their hands. They had completely become mascots of the empire, and even the guards in the palace could not control them. This was a warship that had completely sunk in the long river of history. Even in the past, it was extremely brilliant and shining, and it had sunk at this time.

People will not have much interest in the wreck, and there is no treasure on the ship.

The only royal family can do it now is the title of "royal family". In recent years, most royal members have left the palace, left the capital, and went out to find a life outside. As long as these people have no problem with their brains and are not so greedy, they all live well. According to information statistics from a department dedicated to managing royal members, most of the royal members who have left in the past years are engaged in the education industry. Many of them are named honorary directors or honorary principals of an education company and live a pretty good life.

People...especially the middle class's yearning for aristocrats is almost engraved into their bones. When they heard that the honorary director or principal of a certain aristocratic school was a member of the royal family who could be found, they paid a huge tuition without blinking, and then stuffed their children into them to study. In fact, most of these aristocratic schools are very young, and the only things that can be taken advantage of are the school decoration and the royal family members.

Some people live a poor life, and not every royal family can still live as well after leaving the royal wings.

Magus promoted the reform of the royal family to grit his teeth and greatly reduced the scale of the royal family. Even some new generations, namely, some royal members with royal blood from the grandchildren of His Majesty, took the initiative to give up registering their identities under the request and persuasion of their parents. In the feudal era, the identity of the royal family was an honor, but in this increasingly competitive society, sometimes the royal family background will not only not give these people any necessary and powerful help, but will instead become a burden for their promotion.

Compared to the past, who could get hundreds of royal members who could get together with just one stone, the total number of royal members of the Yaoxing Empire is less than fifty, including the grandfather and the grandfather’s father.

After smoking, the two turned around and walked back to the palace. After waiting for a while, the princess appeared.

The dazzling gem crown shines with a charming luster under the light, but it is said that this crown was temporarily rented from a jewelry company for today's birthday party. Originally, the royal family had two crowns used by the princess, but they were later auctioned. After all, the royal family has not had a good time these years.

The princess' appearance amazed the crowd, especially the pair of white and tender melons, which almost squeezed out of the round neck, but her waist was very thin. The nobles had some inexplicable aesthetics, such as girls with thin waists, but they were required to be very plump and also needed to have sufficient qualified bodywork, so there was a waist-tight thing like a waist. It squeezed most of the flesh on the upper body to the chest, while ensuring that there was no extra fat on the waist.

Feminist organizations call for the abolition of this bad habit. Some ladies, including Mrs. Vivian, agree very much and abandon this unequal dress standard. In their opinion, such dressing is not to make themselves more beautiful, but is specifically used to please men. Therefore, this is a bad habit, an inequality, a discriminatory thing, and should be eliminated.

Dulin rubbed his nose and blinked his eyes, making him more sure that this was definitely not what he wanted.

The whole birthday party was carried out in the same way, and the queen appeared once during the period. Compared to the princess' youthful appearance, Dulin felt that the queen was in line with his aesthetic view. What made Dulin even more interesting was that he found that there was something else between Magus and the queen. From the appearance of the queen, to the friendly and simple communication with the nobles, to the departure, she never talked to Magus, nor even looked at him in person. Similarly, when the queen appeared, Magus became a little silent and spoke much less. He also had never seen the queen in person.

When two people ignore each other, there must be problems between the two people.

It's either hatred, it's about love.

A philosopher once said that hatred is an alternative way of expression of love, so only love remains between the two. In addition, it is said that the queen was introduced by Magus to His Majesty the Emperor. If there is no problem in this, he would not believe it even if he beat Dulin to death!

When Dulin looked at Magus, there was something else in his eyes. This is the winner of life.

When the birthday party is at the end, it is the gift-giving process for everyone. Because of the existence of Margus and the government decrees he has implemented, people no longer simply give money to express their respect for the royal family, nor will they compete with whom the gifts are worth more. Now they are very clear that what they give today may appear in a second-hand store tomorrow, so no matter how good the gifts are, it is meaningless. Instead of putting their feelings for the princess at the price of the gifts, it is better to give something meaningful, such as a vase, a beautiful sterling silver mirror, or some other small and meaningful and invaluable things.

Dulin chose a book.

"Is this your gift?"

A young man next to Du Lin suddenly interrupted. He glanced at the other party and said that he was a very ordinary young man. Of course, this ordinary person is only relatively speaking. How many ordinary people are they who can enter the palace to attend the princess’ birthday party? Faced with this sudden and curious question, Du Lin nodded and explained with a smile, "Books are precious mediums used to record knowledge. Knowledge is priceless and will benefit people for life."

"It's not like money, it's gone after it's used up, nor is it like a piece of clothing, there are always times when it fades."

"It is always a precious treasure and will accompany a person's life. At any time, when you need it, you will find how meaningful it is to read a book you need."
