Counterattack [Interstellar]

"Your Highness." The steward of Everda Palace saluted Allen politely, "His Royal Highness Biyuna just presented His Majesty with an epiphyllum, which is said to bloom tonight. Your Majesty and the others are watching this rare flower in the flower hall on the top floor. The beautiful scenery may come down later, does His Highness want to rest here, or go upstairs to watch it with His Majesty."

Auston's banquet was neither early nor late, and it was just when the scars on Alan's face had just faded away. Hearing this, Alan looked at Pei Yao and asked, "Have you seen the epiphyllum bloom?"

Pei Yao shook his head: "No...no, it is said that the flowering time is very, very short, and it is not easy to see."

"Then go and have a look." Allen took Pei Yao's hand naturally, and said as he walked, "You know, this kind of flower can be used as food, and eating it is good for the lungs... I'm going to let His Majesty How about someone cooking for you?"

Pei Yao hurriedly said: "No need, I...my lungs are very healthy now." Pei Yao was afraid that Alan would really ask Auston to pick off the epiphyllum bone that was about to bloom in public, and added: "The lung-nourishing soup you always make me drink is very effective. I haven't had a cough for a long time."

"It's not as good as someone who hasn't been injured." Allen gently scratched Pei Yao's palm, "I still need to smoke less in the future...you can tell me when you get addicted to smoking, I'm happy to use my own method to help you divert it Pay attention."

"Your Highness..."

"Okay, let's not talk about it."

The voices of the two gradually drifted away, and a maid in the palace couldn't help but whispered to her companion: "His Highness Alan really loves Major General Pei Yao."

"What is this, I also heard..."

The butler turned his head and glanced at the whispering maids. The maids knew it, bowed their heads quickly, and retreated.

"Our Highness Ai Lun and the Queen Concubine are a little late." Mrs. Jenny heard their voices early and greeted them first. Mrs. Jenny looked at Pei Yao and shook her head and sighed softly, "Pei Yao, what are you doing today? You come to the banquet as a member of the royal family, and you have to wear a military uniform, do you know that there are many girls coming today, and you deliberately want to charm them?"

Pei Yao nodded: "Sorry, I'm just not used to wearing a dress... I will pay attention next time."

"Honey, I'm just joking with you, you can wear whatever you want, anyway, you will be the most handsome man at the party." Mrs. Jenny blinked, "Today's first dance can be dance with me?"

"Aunt." Allen smiled helplessly, "Are you going to steal my dance partner?"

Mrs. Jenny smiled lightly: "It's really stingy, I just want to enjoy the feeling of being envied and envied by girls when I was young again, alas... I haven't danced with a handsome officer for many years."

Allen smiled: "Be careful not to let Prince Adair hear this."

"It's okay, he's been so busy these days that he doesn't care about me at all." Mrs. Jenny couldn't help laughing, "Bettina's father and brother's army has been assigned to Adair now, alas...why? Sorry, I told Adair not to take advantage of this, but His Majesty insisted on giving it, so what can we do?"

Madam Jenny lowered her voice: "Actually, His Majesty has long intended to withdraw the military power of Bettina's father and brother, but he has never had a good chance. This time it is also a matter of his mind."

"Poor Bettina, I heard that in order to pay the horrifying fine, even the jewelry was sold." Mrs. Jenny did not forget to take care of Pei Yao, who had been silent all this while mocking Bettina, and she smiled, "I heard you You have put forward a lot of very valuable opinions to His Majesty, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it. I only knew that you are very talented in military affairs, but I didn’t expect you to be both civil and military.”

There was a gloomy look in Alan's eyes, and he smiled at Pei Yao: "Go and say hello to His Majesty for me, he probably doesn't want to talk to me yet." The two choked when they got together, and Pei Yao was also worried What unpleasant things will happen to them here, he nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

Mrs. Jenny watched Pei Yao walk in the direction of Auston, and said softly, "Is there something important you want to tell me, as for avoiding your most beloved major general."

Allen smiled and handed his arm to Mrs. Jenny: "Nothing can be hidden from you."

Mrs. Jenny took Alan's arm with a smile, and walked with him to the other side of the flower hall.

"Pei Yao's parents?" Mrs. Jenny frowned slightly, "Why did you think of asking them?"

Allen said bluntly: "I don't want to make up reasons to lie to you, so please don't ask any more questions."

Mrs. Jenny was amused by Allen's straightforwardness, thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't know very well that Pei Yao's father officially became Auston's right-hand man when I broke up with Auston. We haven't been in contact for nearly 20 years. Although we reconciled afterwards, I rarely came to the main star. When I really came back, he had already died in the line of duty. I... only know that his name is Pei Xuan, and he is a very respected person. Admiral."

Mrs. Jenny regretted: "During that time, the relationship between me and Auston was the most tense, and I was not very clear about many things."

"Just say what you know." Allen hesitated, and whispered, "Does Auston really rely on him? Although the outside world says that, I checked a lot of information and found that Auston Don didn't give him much military power."

Mrs. Jenny was uncertain: "This... can't explain anything. He is a knight of Auston, not a general stationed abroad. Not having much military power in his hands doesn't mean anything. Have you entrusted Pei Yao with a lot of military power? No. As for whether he really relied heavily on him, then I am sure that it was a time of war, and there was chaos from top to bottom, and Auston hastily handed over many documents to him for review, which is enough to prove everything."

Hearing this, Allen felt even more worried. How could Auston treat Pei Xuan the same as he treated Pei Yao!

Auston's ambiguous feelings for Pei Yao have always made Alan very worried. Alan has imagined many situations, and the worst situation is... Auston loves one of Pei Yao's parents.

Although Pei Yao's mother is a guide, her chances are very small. Allen doesn't think that a beast like Auston can let her go, but the same situation makes sense for Pei Xuan. Auston and Pei Xuan As a sentinel, Auston would not give up the opportunity to combine with the guide for Pei Xuan, so he had no choice but to let go.

Allen couldn't bear Auston's preference for Pei Yao because he saw the shadow of Pei Xuan in him. If so, if Pei Yao was a guide, did Auston do something dehumanizing to Pei Yao? What happened? !

Allen asked in a low voice: "Then... Is it possible that Auston likes Pei Xuan? You know what kind of like I'm talking about."

Mrs. Jenny froze for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "Impossible."

Mrs. Jenny laughed and said: "I'm not sure about anything else, but I can assure you that it's absolutely impossible. I grew up with Auston, and I know him well. He is a straight man through and through. Not at all interested in men, really."

In fact, according to the assumption that Auston likes Pei Xuan, many things are unreasonable, but it is about whether her highness the princess will be coveted by others. Allen is a little more cautious than usual. After getting the guarantee from Mrs. Jenny, Allen I felt a little better...as long as Auston didn't look for someone in Pei Yao.

"What are you investigating?" Although Allen had made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it, Mrs. Jenny couldn't help being curious, "Why did you get involved here?"

Allen shook his head and smiled: "Thank you for giving me this valuable information, let's not talk about the rest."

After confirming that there was one less rival in love, Allen felt much better. He took Mrs. Jenny's hand and kissed it: "I'll go and see Pei Yao."

Mrs. Jenny smiled and wrinkled her nose at Allen, and let him go.

The banquet is about to start. The royal family members and their ceremonial officials, attendants, and maids have all arrived. There are many people gathered on the top floor. There are too many people here. It is inconvenient for Alan to use his mental power. It took a while to find Pei Yao, Pei Yao Several people surrounded him, and Allen frowned instantly.

"Major General, I have paid close attention to you before, and I will recite a few words you said at Alice's opening ceremony." A girl in her twenties smiled and looked at Pei Yao with admiration, "I just admire him." You are not good at expressing, and you are more willing to prove everything with your own actions."

"Me too." A boy who was only in his teens quickly answered, "Be diligent in thinking, quick in action, and slow in speech... There must be this saying among Chinese Americans. You have completely achieved it."

"I also heard that your marksmanship is very good." Another girl came over, her face flushed, and said sweetly, "Can you show us your marksmanship? I really want to see it with my own eyes... ..."

Several people around responded, and the boy before said with a smile: "I've heard of it too, can you show it to us? Major General... I beg you!"

Allen took a deep breath, and sure enough, it was wrong to agree to Auston's invitation before!A handsome and charming general like Pei Yao would be surrounded by people at any ball to show off his marksmanship?What do they want to see?Can anyone see what Pei Yao looks like when shooting? !

"I'm very sorry." Pei Yao stepped back a little, avoiding the boy who was about to come to hold his hand, and said with downcast eyes, "I have taken off my pistol before going upstairs in accordance with the security regulations of the palace."

The oldest girl laughed quickly and said, "That's not a problem, I can ask for one for you, major general... promise us."

Pei Yao shook his head: "Sorry...it doesn't comply with the regulations."

"Major General, so what if you break the law once for us? We really want to see it."

Pei Yao was really not good at dealing with such occasions, so he owed his body and wanted to get away, but when he turned around, he saw Alan not far away.

Allen smiled halfway, and slowly approached: "What are you doing?"

Pei Yao was afraid that Alan might misunderstand, so he answered honestly. Alan said casually, "Oh", "So you rejected my lovely cousin?"

Pei Yao pursed his lower lips, nodded and said, "This is really not in compliance with the regulations."

Allen nodded and said with a smile: "What should I do, I suddenly want to admire your marksmanship."

Pei Yao was taken aback for a moment, hesitated and lowered his head and said, "I obey, Your Highness."

Pei Yao took the pistol that Alan took from his waist, picked up an apple on the table and shook it, raised his hand and threw the apple out of the top guardrail, Pei Yao held the gun in both hands, closed his left eye, and said "pop" With a bang, the apple exploded, and pieces fell to the square in front of the palace.

Alan glanced at his cousins ​​with a smile, and it went without saying: This person belongs to him, and he cares about and indulges himself the most.

Looking at their envious and jealous eyes, the depression in Allen's heart was swept away.
