Interstellar Rebirth: The Admiral’s Wife is Good and Wild
Chapter 424: Roy Star is not for sale
In her previous life, she had mastered the art of makeup in order to sneak into certain places.
An excellent makeup artist has the ability to completely transform a person's appearance. When she usually uses the identity of Jun Li, the makeup she puts on is deliberately different from Qu Tong's light makeup and bare face. It is not as simple as whitening and moisturizing the lips.
The hairstyles and clothes are also very detailed and have different styles. In addition, people are subjective. I used to think that an SSS-level and an F-level could not be the same person. Later, I thought that her mental strength was so strong that she could not still be a distinguished pharmacist.
So even though she revealed her strength, few people still linked Jun Li and Qu Tong together.
"So how did Nian Nian recognize Auntie?"
Niannian opened her big, moist eyes and answered as a matter of course, "Because besides the Empress Dowager and my mother, the only beauty who is so kind and gentle to me is my aunt."
Qu Tong burst out laughing, he never expected this to be the reason.
Children have simple minds and few concerns, which helps them eliminate external interference and determine that one point is the answer.
I couldn't help but rub Nian Nian's furry head again, "Thank you Nian Nian for the compliment, Nian Nian is also a little beauty."
Niannian enjoyed it very much and liked being close to Qu Tong.
After Qu Tong invited the Crown Princess to have afternoon tea together, Niannian reluctantly said goodbye to Qu Tong.
Qu Tong opened the gift that the Crown Princess gave her, which turned out to be a gift agreement from a flower shop. Qu Tong had some impression of the address, it was a famous commercial street in the capital star where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
Her planet Roy has many beautiful roses, and she might consider selling some of them.
Even if it's not prepared for Roy Star, there is no girl who doesn't like flowers.
It's not just a flower, not just a bouquet of flowers, it's an entire flower shop, with all kinds of flowers, and a ten-year contract with a flower breeding base.
This gift is really thoughtful.
During the remaining time, Qu Tong waited for Si Yuting to come back while taking care of the flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables in the garden.
However, he did not wait for Si Yuting, but waited for Li Hanchi who was beside Si Xian.
Li Hanchi straightened his attitude, bowed, and extended a hand, "Second Prince Consort, the King invites you to the palace for a chat."
The guards brought by Li Hanchi were divided into two rows, with sharp eyes, standing straight on both sides of the hovercraft.
Qu Tong frowned slightly. The other party was so polite, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.
Steward Chi glanced at Li Hanchi, who was standing at the door like a small mountain, and reminded him in a low voice: "Madam, you don't have to go if you don't want to. His Highness asked us to protect you. Just refuse and I will take care of the rest."
Qu Tong patted Butler Chi's tense shoulders and said, "It's okay. His Highness is also in the palace."
Then he turned to Li Hanchi and said, "Do you mind if I take my own hovercraft?"
"The Second Prince's wife is at your leisure."
Qu Tong drove the hovercraft slowly in front, and Li Hanchi did not urge him. He and the guards also slowed down and followed behind.
An hour later, we arrived at Si Xian's palace.
Looking inside from the door, in addition to Si Xian sitting directly above him, there were several middle-aged men in formal suits sitting at the conference table.
Qu Tong, the old man just to the right of Si Xian, looked a little familiar. After searching his memory, he remembered that he had met the head of the Ouyang family at the annual birthday party. This man who looked 70% like the head of the Ouyang family should be Ouyang Lina's grandfather, who was also a member of the National Assembly. Everyone called him Elder Ouyang.
The one on the left is wearing a director’s uniform, and the embroidery on his chest indicates his identity: the director of the Central Hospital.
There was a circle of guards with guns on their waists surrounding the palace. Li Hanchi walked over and stood at the end closest to Si Xian.
Facing a large group of people, Qu Tong seemed not to feel the solemn atmosphere. He walked over leisurely and sat at the end of the table. There was still several chairs between him and the nearest person.
Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Si Xian.
Si Xian frowned and said nothing.
"Second Prince Consort, you should have seen the latest research report on the gene bank and the Central Hospital, right?"
Si Xian deliberately paused here.
Qu Tong remained silent and his expression remained cold and indifferent.
Si Xian continued, "The energy plants you planted, Second Prince Consort, are of great significance to improving fertility. I called you here this time to discuss with you. We hope to buy back Loy Star as a fertility research base."
Qu Tong thought to himself that it was as expected, and suppressed the sarcasm that was about to overflow from the corners of his lips, and said in a good temper: "Loy Star is not for sale."
Si Xian felt that Qu Tong was worried about the price, and said disdainfully: "The price can be estimated based on the current market price of the planet, or you can be given a more valuable planet. You won't suffer any loss."
As the previous emperor, he still looked down on the money.
Qu Tong still shook his head: "Not for sale."
After being rejected twice, Si Xian was a little unhappy, and his tone became tough, "Roy Star originally belonged to the country, and it could have been taken back directly for the sake of national cause. I am willing to compensate you because you are Si Yuting's wife."
"Ha-" Qu Tong really couldn't help it.
Looking at Si Xian's orange-peel face, I wondered, could it be that living long enough in the interstellar age would make one's skin thicker?
He forced her to buy something with such a chutzpah, as if he was giving her alms.
Moreover, the current value of Loy Star is not comparable to that of ordinary planets.
The director of the Central Hospital stepped forward and kindly helped analyze the situation. "This is a good thing that benefits both the country and the people. The birth rate has continued to decline in the past few hundred years, and the situation is already very serious. If we can make a breakthrough in this regard, it will not only benefit the country as a whole, but you and General Si will also be able to enjoy limited priority benefits."
"As the consort of the Second Prince, you should no longer be as short-sighted as a young lady in the boudoir. You should consider the national level instead of calculating your personal losses."
Elder Ouyang was not so polite. He spoke with sarcasm and disparagement.
Qu Tong laughed out of anger, wondering where Elder Ouyang got his confidence from.
But Qu Tong soon understood. After Elder Ouyang finished speaking, he subconsciously looked up at Si Xian.
Oh ~
It turns out that it was given by that shameless old man.
Qu Tong laughed in his heart, but on the surface he put on an extremely harmless smile and nodded: "Elder Ouyang is right."
Elder Ouyang was stunned. He thought the Second Prince's wife was very capable. He was very proud and raised his neck. He taught in the tone of an elder, "It's good that the Second Prince's wife has this awareness. General Si is upright and has devoted himself to the country. As his wife, you should also set an example."
"Since the fertility rate can be increased by simply consuming a reasonable amount of fruits and vegetables, it should be promoted on a large scale to play a greater role." Another person echoed.
Seeing that Qu Tong stopped talking, those people seemed to think that she was a soft persimmon and started talking about her.
One by one, they spoke righteously, emphasizing the importance of fertility research, and morally blackmailed her under the banner of serving the country and the people.
The implication of their words was that she should hand it over voluntarily, because Roy Star would have greater value only in their hands.
In the end, she was even asked to hand over the cultivation method of 100% purified energy fruits and vegetables.
Of course, out of fear that his behavior would be too embarrassing, he said he would give her patent fees.
Qu Tong was really speechless. It was more disgusting than swallowing a handful of flies.
After planning all her assets, Si Xian asked Qu Tong symbolically, "What does the Second Prince's wife think?"
