Same light

While waiting for the federation's reply, the Holy Golden Palace announced the emperor's marriage.

The wedding date is set for next month, which seems a bit rushed, but this is not the most controversial thing. The most controversial thing is the candidate for the queen, who is the high priest who lives in the Holy White Tower.

The cabinet ministers were worried about this, thinking that the emperor's insistence on disclosing the identity of the empress would cause an uproar among the people of the empire. In fact, the reaction was strong, but it turned out that most of the voices were supportive, especially from young people.

The phenomenon-level hit series "Love Without Flaws" and the rumors that have been circulating in the streets and alleys about another free and equal federal civilization have set off an upsurge of heated discussions among young people, and many boldly critical opinions have emerged. sound.

At such a time, the emperor announced that he would marry a male queen who did not have any advanced genetic abilities. Such an unorthodox decision unexpectedly received unprecedented enthusiasm.

Many people believe that the emperor made a clever move to cut off the possibility of a civil revolution from the beginning in time.

This "many people" included Xiu himself.

"I don't deny that there is such a consideration," said Alfred.

He had just finished a quick shower, washed off the hot sweat from the recovery training just now, and simply wrapped himself in a bathrobe and walked through various equipment in the recovery room.

The doctors who assisted him in his rehabilitation training had already withdrawn, and Xiu was sitting alone in a corner of the rehabilitation room waiting for him——Since confessing his injury, Xiu had accompanied Alfred in his rehabilitation every day.

Alfred went to Xiu's chair and squatted down, carefully touching Xiu's stomach through a soft blanket.

"But the main reason for getting married in such a hurry is not to allow our crown prince to be born out of wedlock." He lightly poked Xiu's soft belly, "Is that right, Caroline?"

Xiu was flipping through some documents, let Alfred sit on his stomach and talk to the children, and calmly turned another page - he seemed to have always made it clear that he was him and the children were children , they temporarily lived in his body, that's all.

"Have you thought about another name?" Xiu asked, "You only talk to Caroline, it's not good, we have to treat them equally."

"What about Anna?" Alfred asked.

Xiu said casually: "Not very good. There was a bloody revolution during Empress Anna's reign."

"Huh?" Alfred was stunned for a moment, "Didn't that happen during the reign of Empress Anna's father or grandfather?"

Xiu looked up from the file and looked at Alfred.

"It's Empress Anna, because she signed the strict tax law after she ascended the throne, not her father, let alone her grandfather." Xiu said, shaking his head slightly dissatisfied, "Your modern history scores have not been good, I will tell you Your governess reinforces the subject."

Alfred was stunned, and he reasoned: "My schedule is already very full! I want to chair cabinet meetings, handle government affairs, attend classes, recover, take revenge... Cough, I mean, clear Huo Duke of Ton's party."

Yes, Prince Holden has already been deprived of the title of prince by Alfred.

"It's okay, there is no need to add extra class hours. I read the teaching report written by your advanced mathematics professor, and your assessment test scores are much better than I expected."

Xiu raised the document he was flipping through, and Alfred realized that it was his report card, and subconsciously began to recall what Xiu's expression was like just now.

"It seems that you have not forgotten what you have learned, so the bridging course of this course can be canceled and replaced with history."

"Then I'd rather study mathematics!" Alfred exclaimed in pain.

Xiu turned a deaf ear and continued to talk about the child calmly.

"Don't you have a backup boy's name?"

"The doctor said ours are identical twins, and identical twins are the same sex." Alfred said naturally, "The other one can only be Caroline's sister."

Xiu glanced at him, and suddenly felt worried for some reason.

"Although the tradition has always been to not tell the gender in advance, if we want to know, we can ask the doctor now." Xiu said without seeming to care.

Alfred said: "Don't ask. Why do you ask this? My brother gave birth to me, there is no difference."

He was in a good mood, bent over and hugged Xiu: "The etiquette officer will come over to discuss the wedding with us, let's go back!"

Xiu lightly patted his shoulder and said, "Your injury..."

"Three of the equipment I lifted for rehabilitation training just now are as heavy as yours."

"That won't work! There are so many people outside, it's a mistake..."

"——It's disgraceful." Alfred said quickly, holding him firmly, "What are you afraid of? The wedding is coming soon, why is it disrespectful for me to hug my queen?"

Xiu obviously disagreed, but he didn't dare to move easily. Alfred lowered his head and approached the person in his arms who couldn't dodge.

"You tell me that answer, and I'll let you down."

Xiu raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised.He and Alfred looked at each other for a few seconds, making sure that Alfred did not intend to back down.

Indeed, when Alfred wanted something, he would fight for himself, and he would not give up just because Xiu told him that it was "punishment".

"Okay." Xiu said, "Come here with your ears."

Alfred's eyes widened in surprise, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his ear in doubt - the next second, something soft touched his forehead lightly.

Xiu kissed him.

"I...uh, why are you..." Alfred asked incoherently.

"Put it down." Xiu said calmly.

Alfred put him down, steadied him, and looked at him eagerly, thinking he was about to get an answer.

Unexpectedly, Xiu Yang shouted: "Come here."

The servants outside filed in, and the high priest calmly ordered: "Your Majesty is about to drive back to the palace."

The servants immediately got busy, and several male servants stepped forward to help Alfred change his clothes. Alfred asked persistently, "Wait, is that... is that the answer?"

"That's a strategy." Xiu said calmly, "Your Majesty, your ability to extract information needs to be strengthened."

"Other mission objects won't use this strategy against me." Alfred said dryly, "But I don't mind you using it, you can use it a few more times—"

"Your Majesty." Xiu interrupted, "Please hurry up and change your clothes, the etiquette officer is still waiting for you in the Holy Gold Palace."

The emperor entered the dressing room, and Xiu's personal servants helped him to sit down and wait.

"Your Excellency, High Priest, do you need me to adjust the temperature controller for you?" A servant thought he was considerate, "You look a little hot."

Xiu uncomfortably raised his hand to touch his hot and reddish ears, and said in a low voice, "...No need."

In the evening, the main hall of the Holy Gold Palace.

There is also a desk in the dormitory, which was originally used for leisure, but since Xiu’s body became heavier, he rarely left the dormitory, and Alfred often used this desk to work in the dormitory.

Alfred's attempt to obtain information failed today, and he was depressed until after dinner. Even the ceremonial officer came to discuss the details of the wedding, but he couldn't get him excited.

"The process is almost designed." He signed the last signature of the day and closed all the government documents on the desk. "The empress will attend, but she will not show up in public. When the time comes, she will tell the public that you are entertaining the family members."

By next month, Xiu's pregnant belly could no longer be covered with clothes and blankets, and Alfred was determined to hold the wedding before the child was born, so Xiu was destined not to be able to show up.

Xiu accepted this well, but Alfred was unwilling.

"After the children are born, I will give you a more beautiful ceremony." He promised.

Xiudao: "It's all trivial, it doesn't matter."

"It does," Alfred said.

He walked through the huge bedroom on the soft carpet, climbed onto the big bed in the middle, and put down the curtain beside the bed.

The light was blocked from the curtain, and on the big dark bed, Alfred leaned over and kissed Xiu.

"You didn't hide." He said vaguely against Xiu's lips, and the breath he exhaled ambiguously brushed Xiu's cheeks, "Is this also a strategy?"

Xiu's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect that Alfred is still struggling with this word.

He was a little soft-hearted, feeling sorry for his younger brother for a moment, but thinking of the month when he was so anxious and unable to get any news, and thinking of his fear when he learned of Alfred's serious injury, he still forced himself to calm down and said: "I said it, son I will not respond to these questions before birth, and this is the punishment you deserve."

"I have admitted my mistakes, brother..."

Alfred made a whimpering sound similar to that of an injured animal, and his soft hair rubbed against Xiu's ear.

"Tell me... Brother, do you like me a little bit? Do you? Brother..."

"It's no use pretending to be pitiful."

Xiu said flatly, but he still reached out and stroked two handfuls of Alfred's golden retriever.

"Okay." Seeing that this trick didn't work, Alfred sniffed, and put away his coquettish posture for a second, "...I'll be right back, if you're sleepy, go to bed first."

As he spoke, he turned around and went to lift the curtain to prepare to get out of bed. He seemed in a hurry, Xiu was a little strange, and asked behind him, "Where are you going?"

"Take a shower."

"Didn't you just take a shower?"

Alfred took a deep breath, seemed to be enduring some emotions, and said, "It's just been washed. But I just got close to you in bed... Do you really want me to go on?"

As early as when they had just found out about the pregnancy, Alfred had said - "I want you every day I lie next to you".

So, he is going to...

Xiu understood all of a sudden, and was unable to say anything for a rare moment.He was thankful that it was dark inside the curtain, otherwise Alfred might notice that the tips of his ears were turning red.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Alfred naturally knew that Xiu had understood.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Alfred said softly, "I'm going to take a shower."

As he spoke, he opened the curtain beside the bed and wanted to leave. The soft light in the bedroom outside hit his slightly drooping eyelashes. For some reason, he looked a little aggrieved.

He is 22 years old this year, and he is just at the age of youth, but since that night, he has never tasted the marrow... Probably no one would believe that the handsome young emperor, with supreme power, faced Desires can only be suppressed or resolved by themselves in the bathroom.

Today, he is more or less acting, because with Alfred's ability, as long as he doesn't want to, he can completely prevent Xiu from finding out.

Xiu fully understands this, but...

"Wait." He stopped Alfred, "You can...don't go."

After hearing this, Alfred stood beside the bed, and without looking at Xiu, he said in a hoarse voice: "The doctor said that your physical condition is not stable, so you can't..."

"...I will help you with my hands." Xiu said, although he tried his best to appear calm, he was quite sure that his face was already red.

Alfred's eyes changed, and he asked slowly, "Really?"

Xiu whispered: "Don't forget it!"

Alfred didn't speak, and took actions instead of answers—he quickly got into bed and closed the velvet curtains.

All the gasps and whispers of the night were kept behind heavy curtains.
