Comet Beauty [Interstellar]

Christmas Eve passed as a cooling snap swept across the Commonwealth.After parting ways with A, Qing Changye was basically in a state of no worries. When he first came to this world, he wanted to go home crazily. After Edwin died, it became less important whether he returned or not.In three years, people he used to know died one by one.After he recovered, Lance asked Qing Changye if he wanted to stay in the imperial capital, and the latter nodded with a smile.

"Your Majesty knows my purpose and is willing to let me stay in the Federation. I am very grateful."

"Same position as before, okay?"

Realizing that Lance was referring to the personal secretary, Qing Changye was slightly startled and responded: "As long as Your Majesty is not worried that the cardinal will be suspicious, I'm fine."

Sitting in this position, many things he will be exposed to are undoubtedly related to federal secrets. Lance is willing to let him sit in this position now, and whether he will let him go in the future remains to be considered.Only then did he know that although Joey was Lance's secretary on the surface, he never actually handled documents for the latter. More often than not, Joey was only responsible for planning Lance's daily life, especially when he was marching.After returning to the Federation, Qing Changye saw Joey less often. He speculated that Joey's position beside Lance might be the same as that of Lydia and Edwin in the past. They were more assisting in the dark.Because a large number of Zergs were swallowed up in the Zerg Star Abyss, Lance's physical condition was much more stable than before.Qing Changye doesn't need to send time for him now, but the number of transparent numbers suspended beside Lance is still as small as before, and the total amount of time he can hold has not increased.In other words, his condition has not improved in essence.

The first day of Qing Changye's tenure happened to coincide with the meeting of the cardinals. This generation of cardinals has changed compared to his memory.Among the ten people were men and women, and there was even a very handsome young man.Without exception, the cardinals have a lot of time, which makes the oldest among them look like they are only in their early thirties.Cardinals will inherit internally according to blood, and these people all bear the most honorable surname of the Federation.The first ten cardinals represented the ten major families of the federation. Over time, these gathered nobles gradually had the right to compete with the supreme ruler.The meeting was not long. The cardinals briefly discussed the New Deal with Lance. The views of the two sides were surprisingly similar. The meeting ended after a preliminary agreement was reached.Qing Changye saw a lot of familiar faces in it, these people had sat opposite him in the mirror palace trial.He could feel the vaguely scrutinizing eyes around him.When leaving the chamber, the youngest cardinal greeted Lance.

"Your Majesty's new policy is very suitable for the needs of the people," the man said with a smile, "with a wise monarch like you, it's enough for us to make a living."

Lance glanced at him with a half-smile, and nodded slowly after a while: "Mr. Joseph, as the Cardinal Secretary, has really contributed a lot to the development of the Federation."

"Where, His Majesty's absurd praise." The man changed his subject and turned his gaze to Qing Changye: "This is His Majesty's new secretary?"

"Hello, sir." Qing Changye took the initiative to reach out his hand, seeing that Joseph had not let go of his handshake for a long time, Lance raised his eyebrows, and then he began to look at the youngest cardinal: "Hello, Maybe you don't know me, but this isn't the first time we've met."

"Mirror palace trial?"

"Correct." Joseph's smile was a little fancy, and his inconspicuous speech could easily give the impression of being frivolous: "Besides that time, there are some coincidences. I have a good relationship with the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Seydoux family. , you know, they're all obsessed with you."

Anya is the eldest son of the Saidu family, and the eldest lady should refer to Aurora.It's normal for Joseph and Aurora to know each other, but knowing Anya... Cardinal and Star Thief sounds like putting sheep and wolves in a cage.Qing Changye smiled politely. He looked at the face of the person in front of him calmly, but he never had a shadow of the other person in his memory: "Mr. Joseph and Anya are very familiar?"

"He and I are in a cooperative relationship. We each get what we need. If you want to know, I don't mind telling you everything. It just so happens that there is a small private dinner in the mansion tonight." The young and handsome cardinal turned to look at Lan S: "I promise not to discuss any work-related topics with your secretary, Your Majesty."

Lance pulled a fake smile: "I won't interfere with him outside of work."

"Thank you very much, to be honest, Your Majesty," Joseph lowered his voice, with a soft smile in his tone, as if he was confiding a secret: "It is really enviable for such a beauty to be your secretary, if not for The roses of the East are too charming, I really won't bother them rashly."

Joseph and Qing Changye exchanged communication numbers, and he sent him an electronic invitation and bid farewell to leave.When the back of the other party disappeared around the corner, Lance turned his head, and the hypocritical smile disappeared, and the king was expressionless: "Are you going?"

Qing Changye smiled: "Actually, he is asking me to sleep."

Lance was taken aback: "Really?"

Of course it's fake.

Qing Changye nodded: "Think about it, private parties, feasts and delicacies, after drinking three glasses of wine, start chatting, and then basically-"

Lance frowned: "No."

"Okay," Qing Changye shrugged.He wasn't very curious about the deal Joseph was talking about, and the playboy-like behavior of the other party made it difficult for him to have a good impression: "Agreed not to interfere?"

"Do you believe those who lie to pigs?" Lance suddenly smiled at him, his emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips curled up in a slightly smug way: "Little stupid."

"..." was a little provocative.

After the new year, the relationship between him and Lance became a little strange. Originally, Lance didn't look at anyone in private. His face looked like the most perfect artificial intelligence when he didn't speak.But now when he met Qing Changye, he would smile from time to time.In fact, they spend almost all day together.They had breakfast and lunch together, and Qing Changye had been living in Grensell's old house since returning to the imperial capital.Occasionally, Qing Changye would try to cook Chinese food by himself, and Lance would be next to him, tangled up in front of the chopsticks.After getting along with Wang for a while, he realized that the other party's work and rest are very regular. Unlike Edwin, who loves to play, Lance has a real aristocratic style in some aspects. He will eat and sleep on time, except Banquets that must be attended Lance usually likes to read or just stare blankly.This is probably due to the difference in the living environment since he was a child. Edwin was exiled from the Federation when he was in his teens. He has enjoyed the scenery of the upper class and experienced the life of ordinary people.However, Lance basically stayed in Grinsell's old house due to physical discomfort, until the day when Lydia came to him, his life changed drastically.Perhaps it is because of this that Lance is surprisingly simple in dealing with feelings. Qing Changye finds it very interesting to watch him cautiously and entangled to approach him every day.

He really didn't expect that Lance would like him. If there was a deliberate element towards other people, Lance was the only one he didn't get close to on purpose.The front page of Monday's news devoted a lot of time to reporting Lance's deeds. Since they returned to the imperial capital, the headlines have basically been around Lance, but this time it is a little different.The report said that Monday next month would be Wang's birthday, and that report had a rare mention of Edwin.The note-taker said in a joking tone that the previous king announced his engagement when he was in his 20s, but Lance has not had any gossip until now.Qing Changye watched with great interest. He wondered if he should prepare a birthday present for Lance, but for a while he really couldn't remember what the other party needed.Qing Changye had just put down the LCD screen when he received Joey's communication, and the little secretary on the other end of the phone asked if it was convenient for him to pick up Lance.Tonight Lance was invited to a dinner hosted by a cardinal. In the invitation letter, only Lance and his female companion were invited, and Qing Changye was not interested in joining in the fun.Joey said that Lance was drunk because it was early in the morning, and if it was not convenient for him, Joey would drive Lance back in an aircraft.Of course, it is not inconvenient to be a subordinate when the boss needs it. Qing Changye asked Joey to report the address, and after setting the position of the aircraft, he pressed the start button.

The place where the dinner party was held was a private garden villa. Because it was backed by the newly built artificial sea in the imperial capital, the price of this villa could almost buy a small palace. The owner of the villa did not disappoint the time spent. The decorative night cherry blossoms look like kabuki costumes in the middle of the night, and the white and pink petals cover the entire high-altitude slide.Qing Changye had an electronic invitation from Joey, and the security guard at the door checked his identity and respectfully lowered him down the slide.The dinner was held in the hall, probably because of the owner's interest, there were large expanses of elderflower bushes before entering the villa, and the unique light fragrance of this plant came from the air.Refreshing with moist night dew.He found Lance in the corner of the hall.The little secretary and Lance's adjutant stayed together to roll the dice, and the empty wine bottles next to them were built by these boring men into a pyramid to show off their achievements.Just one look at Qing Changye can understand why Lance is drunk. He can't drink normally. It's no wonder that the two drunkards, the secretary and the adjutant, dragged him to play games.

"A Ye!" Joy happily waved at him, "Here, here!"

Qing Changye walked over in two or three steps.It is easy for him to attract attention when he comes at this time.In the second half of the banquet, the smell of wine was smoky and people were slightly drunk. Everyone was trying to find new fun from this slowly becoming boring dinner, and the young man with black hair and black eyes really looked like a young man at the end of the banquet. The finale that will appear at the end.He looked clean and elegant, incompatible with the materialistic environment around him. The tailored shirt and trousers wrapped his waist and legs, and his bare skin looked like suet under the reflection of the lights.What's more, he has moved towards the position of king.

"It's a good thing you're here. You don't know. The last time His Majesty almost demolished the banquet hall of the palace when he was drunk. He basically has no IQ when he's drunk, and he does everything by instinct." Remember to lock the door when you sleep, be careful that your Majesty's beastly behavior will hold you down again and again..."

"Yeah," Qing Changye was as patient as ever with the little girl: "Is Your Majesty still conscious?"

Lance, who was originally wandering in the sky, raised his eyes. He seemed to hear the voice he wanted to hear the most, but it was wrong. That person should be sleeping in Grinsell's old house now...

"Probably not anymore," Joey said with a sneer, "Your Majesty almost handed over his first kiss just now, it's so funny, he accidentally recognized a black-haired boy as you—oh!"

The little secretary screamed, and the adjutant who stepped on him smiled at Qing Changye: "Joy is also drunk." He pointed to his own brain: "He is a little unclear now."

Qing Changye touched his nose, and he tried to go to Lalance, who stood up obediently after being pulled by him.Joey didn't know what he thought of, and laughed wildly. The little secretary was usually reserved like a girl, and wine really changed people's temperament.After Lance stood up, he got very close to Qing Changye, the man's scorching breath fell on his ear, and the alcohol and fruity aroma were blurred between his breath.Before Qing Changye could react, the other party suddenly saved him, and Lance's kiss fell on his ear. Rather than saying it was a kiss, it might be better to say that it was an act of subconsciously announcing ownership after Wang had hanged up. The other party was like a beast. Rubbing back and forth on his neck and ears until the white and sensitive skin was flushed red, Lance snorted softly with some satisfaction.

This person smelled of him now, although the disgusting eyes around him were still following him, but dimly aware that those people had averted their eyes because of fear, Lance hooked his lips very quickly.He is very satisfied with everything now, whether it is this warm and charming body in his arms, or the guests who are surrounded by jealousy and exploration but can't come forward.

Until a woman in a blue dress appeared in his vision.

"Ah, Ah Ye?!"

The other party's jewel-colored eyes widened, and the high-heeled shoes stepped silently on the velvet carpet.That is the mistress of this villa, the current first in line heir of the Saidu family.Qing Changye was stunned for a while after hearing Aurora's voice, black curly hair, pale skin, and his familiar blue eyes.She was still as beautiful as ever, and the eldest lady looked exactly the same as when she bought him at Alicia's auction a few years ago.Although she concealed it, the surprise in the woman's eyes and the almost morbid admiration still could not escape Lance's eyes.It is well known among the nobles that she likes to collect human bodies, especially black eyeballs.Lance thought it was strange when he heard it for the first time, but now that he thinks about it, it is probably because of Qing Changye.

"Didn't you only provoke men?"

Lance's voice was a bit sinister, because he was drunk, words that he would never say on weekdays were easily spoken.In the haze, Changye saw a smiling Joseph, who was toasting him.He knew almost instantly that the latter was intentional. As the cardinal, Joseph naturally knew what amazing actions Lance would make when he was drunk.Joseph has a deal with Anya, and nine out of ten also know about the ambiguous relationship between him and Aurora.It is self-evident what kind of consequences will be detonated when these factors are put together.

Joseph was getting revenge on him for not showing up, what a... troublesome guy.
