Chapter 253 New Regulations
Zephir acted faster than expected. The parliament drafted new laws and regulations to cancel some of the preferential treatments for male insects, and stipulated that male insects must assume a certain amount of mental comfort in marriage relationships and must not whip or humiliate female insects or commit other domestic violence for any reason.
This was originally a normal modification, but it caused dissatisfaction among the male insects.
In particular, the Male Insect Protection Association, an organization representing the interests of male insects, pointed out the irrationality of the new regulations, believing that the interests of male insects are inviolable and it is impossible to compromise because of a little trouble from female insects.
The Zerg originally has more females than males, and relies on generous benefits and reliable protection to stimulate the enthusiasm of male Zergs to marry and reproduce. But if all these are gone now, how can male Zergs, which are delicate and difficult to serve, tolerate the rude and crazy female Zergs?
The empire has always been a system of male dominance and female inferiority, and this cannot be changed.
The emergence of this regulation not only made the civilian male insects feel incredible and angry, but also made the nobles in high positions alert. Not only did they publicly express their resistance to the new regulations, they also went to the palace every now and then to explain the seriousness of this matter to the Insect Emperor.
The female insect now dares to blatantly formulate new regulations, and who knows what she will do in the future!
Yet, the royal family, one of the three great factions and dominated by male insects, remained silent, seemingly tacitly approving something. Marquis Emmanuel waited for a long time at the Fussar Palace before finally meeting the Insect Emperor. His expression was somewhat anxious as he stepped forward to explain the absurdity of the new regulations.
"Your Majesty, male insects are born to enjoy all privileges. Even the oracle left by the Insect God states that 'male insects are the treasures of the insect race.' Now, the parliament represented by female insects actually wants to pass laws to reduce the rights of male insects. This is simply shameless!"
These words were both serious and clever, hoping to leverage the royal family's shared interests with the male insects to persuade the Insect Emperor. Unfortunately, the Insect Emperor had just finished handling government affairs and was looking a little tired. Now, hearing Marquis Emmanuel's complaints, he couldn't help but feel a bit impatient.
In fact, as a king, how could he be completely unaware of the new regulations? His silence was simply a wait-and-see attitude.
"Marquis Emmanuel, this is just a newly drafted regulation. It hasn't been reviewed and has no legal effect. Why are you so nervous?" The Insect Emperor said with a smile, his expression calm, making it impossible for the Insect to tell what he was thinking. "You should rest up and stop dwelling on this nonsense."
Although the royal family is mainly composed of male insects, their attitude towards the issue of males and females has always been vague. The Insect Emperor in front of them has even revised the female insect protection law over the years to promote the easing of male-female relations, which has a subtle sense of compromise.
Marquis Emmanuel looked at the Insect Emperor and said cryptically, "Your Majesty, the scales cannot be balanced when the weights are unequal. The male insects are weak and alone. If you don't protect these rights, you will be conquered step by step in the future."
This marquis has good qualifications and is not inferior to the powerful and intelligent female insects. Therefore, he is more aware of the weak situation of male insects and is a true defender of the interests of male insects.
"It was His Highness Zephir who proposed the new rules. Since he was raised by the royal family and favored by male insects, isn't it rather immature for him to act this way?" Marquis Emmanuel looked at the Insect Emperor. Though polite on the surface, he was actually sly. "His Highness must have been bewitched by the insects around him. He deserves a peaceful and happy life."
The Insect Emperor had long held high office, having seen every insect and heard every word. How could he not understand Marquis Emmanuel's intentions? His face darkened instantly, and he said calmly, "Zefir is my insect cub, with royal blood. It's perfectly normal for him to be raised by the royal family. What's this about favors? Marquis Emmanuel is probably calculating too much, even ignoring blood relatives."
Marquis Emmanuel looked embarrassed.
"Zefir is still young, he's just fooling around." The Insect Emperor looked at Marquis Emmanuel and smiled. "You're just too nervous, that's why you're so concerned about this kind of thing. Go back and rest, don't tire yourself out."
With just a few words, not only did he not make any promises, but he also completely eliminated Zephir.
Marquis Emmanuel was puzzled. He wondered if Zephiel hadn't been involved in that incident and would have been married to the male insect from the Alvin family, what kind of insect cub was he? He wasn't ashamed to say it out loud! But despite his thoughts, given the Insect Emperor's attitude, he couldn't say anything more and could only leave, holding his breath.
There were a lot more female soldiers in Bai Yuning's family. After asking, he found out that they were sent by Zefeier.
Recently, with the trial, the romance novel, and now the new regulations, the situation on Imperial Star is unstable, and it seems that some insects are plotting something. To prevent any insects from targeting Bai Yuning, the female insects have deployed a number of female soldiers to guard the area near his home.
The row of female soldiers stood at the door, making it impossible for even a bird or a fly to fit in.
Bai Yuning felt strangely like he was the imprisoned protagonist in some melodramatic novel, being watched day and night to prevent him from escaping. This association left him speechless and amused, and he was speechless for a moment.
The female insect said she wanted to raise him and sent insects to guard him.
Who is the little white flower?
Other missionaries from the Spacetime Administration were also on the Imperial Star. Xiao Ba had connected with the other two systems after entering the Imperial Star. He sat on Bai Yuning's shoulder, dangling his feet leisurely, and asked, "Master, do you want to meet the other travelers?"
Bai Yuning raised his eyebrows: "Those two kids?"
Xiao Ba nodded.
In fact, not all taskers are as unlucky as Bai Yuning. They have no aversion to the Zerg, and some even come to save their lives, so they adapt quite actively.
For example, one of the young men came for the general of the Third Legion. As long as he saved the life of the female insect, he could survive.
"Master, since you were passive and lazy before, the Lord God asked other hosts to pay more attention to the movements of the protagonist baby. They should have a lot of information now. Do you need to contact them?" Xiao Ba slid the screen, and with a tap of his chubby little finger, the message from the other party appeared.
【If you are free, you can make an appointment. 】
Bai Yuning: "...Then let's go meet them."
"Okay~"
Xiaoba is happy, Xiaoba is happy.
In a villa on the Imperial Star, a well-behaved young man sat by the window. The sunlight cast a soft veil over him. His previously sickly and pale face now had a bit more redness, his eyebrows and eyes were bright, and he looked very handsome.
There was also a row of female soldiers surrounding the villa. It was obvious that the boy was also being guarded by the insects sent by his female monarch.
He lowered his head and looked at the flowers in his hand, his eyes flickering. He didn't know what he was thinking. He just joked to the side, "It seems that I have become Cedric's canary after all. How sad."
The little boy beside him munched on a data cookie, rolled his eyes at the boy, and said, "I see you're enjoying this."
The young man said seriously, snorting softly: "Nonsense."
Little Dumpling: "That's right."
When Bai Yuning arrived at the house, he saw two people "arguing" in the room, and was speechless for a moment, while Xiao Ba, who was standing next to him, had already jumped over happily.
"Qiqi~"
