The king's banquet is held in the palace, but because it is a family banquet, there is no need to dress too formally.Qiao Xi and He Tian arrived at the palace on time. At this time, Prince He Ning's family had already arrived, but He Sa and Vera hadn't arrived yet, so it might take a while longer.

As juniors, Qiao Xi and He Tian took the initiative to greet Prince Hening and Princess Hening, then sat aside and waited for He Sa and Vera to come over.

The servant brought two cups of coffee and two snacks for them to enjoy before the meal.He Tian's expression was not as serious as when he was at home. Although he still had little communication with Qiao Xi, his eyes were no longer so cold.

"How does it feel to be newly married?" Herning asked with a smile.

He Ning and He Sa gave Qiao Xi a completely different feeling. He Sa was smooth, while He Ning only showed the treachery in his bones through the surface.

"Not bad." He Tian nodded.He also has his own way of dealing with others.

"Your matching rate is very good. Hurry up and conceive a child, which is also a good thing to look forward to for the royal family." Herning said.He Tian's matching marriage is the first ever for the royal family.

"I know." He Tian said very naturally.

He Ning sighed slightly, and said, "You're already married, so it's time for He Zhao. When he gets married, he should be more mature. You two are brothers, and you need to support each other more in the future."

As soon as He Ning finished speaking, He Zhao walked in.When He Tian and Qiao Xi came over, he happened to go out to answer the communication, so he didn't see him.He also came to yesterday's wedding, but there were too many people at that time, and they were all elders. Qiao Xi just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention to him.Looking carefully now, Qiao Xi completely agrees with Lorraine's evaluation of him.

"Are you here? Uncle and aunt haven't come yet?" He Zhao asked with a smile.

"Well, they will arrive in a while." He Tian said.

He Zhao nodded, turned his gaze to Qiao Xi, and said, "I didn't get to know you formally yesterday. I'm He Tian's cousin, He Zhao."

"I'm Qiao Xi." Qiao Xi shook hands with him politely.

As Lorraine said, the way He Zhao looked at people made Qiao Xi feel very uncomfortable, as if being stared at by a spider, there was always a creepy feeling.The enthusiastic attitude is probably just a disguise, making Qiao Xi feel that He Zhao is more fake than him.Maybe this attitude is more acceptable to others than the indifferent He Tian, ​​but it doesn't apply to Qiao Xi.It is often the pretender who is the easiest to see through the disguise.

"He Tian is busy studying, if you are bored at home, you can come and play with me." He Zhao smiled, "I know the best restaurant here, I can take you there."

"Then thank you in advance." Qiao Xi pretended not to lose to anyone.Having said that, compared with this cousin, He Tian should be able to forgive him, after all, he still has some sincerity, and this cousin, Qiao Xi can't see his sincerity at all, even if he invites him when eating.

"He Tian and I are saying that it's time for you to get married, do you have any plans?" He Ning asked He Zhao with a strict father's attitude, as if he knew nothing about Lorraine.

However, Qiao Xi didn't think that the father and son would be ignorant. People who wanted to fight for the throne naturally had their own eyesight, and it was impossible not to discover such things. After all, the Lorraine family was also a big family and deserved their attention.

"I didn't have any ideas before, but after seeing Qiao Xi, I felt that it would be good to find an Asian, and the child will be beautiful in the future." He Zhao said.

"That's fine, anyway, you can get married as soon as possible." He Ning didn't seem to want to interfere with He Zhao's choice, as long as He Zhao was willing to get married.

Looking at them, Qiao Xi felt that they were really father and son, but equally fake.

When Hesa ​​and Vera arrived, they were almost ready to start the banquet. The king and queen also arrived later, and the dinner officially began.

Qiao Xi sat next to He Tian, ​​because they were juniors, so they sat at the bottom on He Sa's side.

"Come, let's drink to He Tian's marriage." The king sitting at the head of the long table raised his glass.

Everyone also raised their glasses, and Qiao Xi and He Tian thanked everyone.

The king looked very heroic, and the years had left obvious marks on his face, giving him a maturity and grace that had gone through everything.

In fact, Qiao Xi doesn't have a good impression of the king. After all, the king is the successor of the matching system, so it's hard for him to have a good impression of him.In addition, Qiao Xi feels that the king is also a difficult person to see through. This kind of inability to see through brings a lot of negative things—although Rongbo's evaluation of the king is not bad, but Qiao Xi feels that is not the case .

Creamy baked mushrooms were served, one plate per person, not too much.Qiao Xi looked at the plate in front of her, and found that she was picky eater again.He doesn't dislike individual mushrooms, but he doesn't like mushrooms baked in cream. He always thinks the taste is a bit strange.But now it is impossible to openly ask for a change of dishes, and it will leave a very impolite image.Whether he likes the royal family or not, he cannot leave a bad impression on them, which is not conducive to future planning.

Just when he was hesitating whether to eat it with bread, He Tian took the plate away, and then replaced it with chicken salad.This was the dish that was served before, and He Tian hadn't touched it, but Qiao Xi's portion had already been eaten.

Qiao Xi turned her head to look at He Tian, ​​but He Tian didn't look at him, but elegantly ate this creamy baked mushroom.He Tian's rescue made Qiao Xi feel a lot easier, but He Tian ignored him, so he had to tug on the corner of He Tian's clothes to express his gratitude.He Tian turned to look at him, and said in a low voice, "Eat."

Qiao Xi smiled, picked up a fork and started to eat the salad.

"He Tian and Qiao Xi have a good relationship." He Zhao who was sitting opposite the two said with a smile.

Qiao Xi pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, but said nothing.

He Tian said instead: "He has to learn some rules slowly, and I don't want to restrict him too much."

He Zhao said with a smile: "You two have a good relationship, and I, as an older brother, am also happy for you."

He Tian nodded slightly, but did not answer.

Qiao Xi felt that if it was really about pretending, He Tian would not be too far behind.

"It's a good thing that He Tian and Qiao Xi have a good relationship." The Queen covered her mouth with a smile and said, "By the way, He Tian will start school soon? Will Qiao Xi go to Miffel Star together?"

The queen is a woman who looks very proud. She is a queen, so she naturally has the capital of pride.But just looking at her appearance, she is not as beautiful as Vera, and she can't even catch up with Herning's princess.

"It depends on the child's own wishes." He Sa said.

He Tian didn't express his opinion immediately, but said: "I haven't decided yet, there are too many things going on recently, I don't have time to think about it."

"Where's Qiao Xi? Do you want to go with He Tian?" the queen asked.

"I can do it, just listen to He Tian's opinion." The less he has the right to speak, the less vigilant others will be towards him.

"In my opinion, He Tian should still take Qiao Xi with him. It's not good to separate after getting married, and it's not conducive to the maturation of genetic elements." He Ning said.

"Indeed." The king agreed with Herning.

"I will seriously consider it." He Tian said.

Qiao Xi didn't speak, he knew that He Tian must have made a decision, and he would not change it because of other people's opinions.As for the decision to let him go or not to let him go, Qiao Xi still doesn't know.

After the dinner, Qiao Xi followed He Tian and Vera back to the castle.The king has something to discuss with Hesa ​​and Herning, and he probably won't be back until later.

Back at the castle, Vera asked He Tian: "Are you going to take Qiao Xi to Miffel Star?" As He Tian's mother, she naturally knew that He Tian should have made a decision long ago.

"No, let him stay here. I will come back every weekend." He Tian said.

In fact, this result was within Qiao Xi's expectation, after all, it would be very troublesome for him to meet his classmates in the past.Even so, he was a little bit disappointed. If he didn't go to Miffel Star, he wouldn't have the chance to learn mecha from Professor Lu Jia.Now that his identity is sensitive, he still needs to pay more attention to mech manufacturing, and the only one who can help him cover is probably only Professor Lu Jia.

Back in the bedroom, Qiao Xi said, "Thank you for changing the dishes for me."

He Tian looked at him and said, "I'm not in Capital Star, so you'd better not go out. Let the butler buy it for you if you want anything."

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means you are not allowed to go out." He Tian said seriously.

"Are you going to put me under house arrest?" Qiao Xi frowned even deeper.

"You can think so if you want." He Tian's attitude did not soften at all.

"Why?" Qiao Xi's voice also cooled down, her black eyes stared at He Tian.

"Because you were matched to me." He Tian looked at him coldly.

From this point of view, He Tian does have the right.

"I'm not a pet, you can't lock me up at home." Qiao Xi didn't budge either, he didn't accept such unreasonable constraints.

He Tian pinched his chin, looked into his eyes, and said, "Maybe it would be nice to make you a pet."

For the first time, He Tian's words made Qiao Xi feel the coolness in his bones.He didn't know how sincere He Tian's words were, but he was sure that He Tian could do what he said.

Turning her head away from He Tian's hold on him, Qiao Xi said, "He Tian, ​​let's talk."

"No need." He Tian turned and walked to the bathroom, "I don't believe what you say."

The door of the bathroom closed, as if an impassable mountain had been erected between the two of them.Qiao Xi sat on the sofa with a dejected look on his face. In fact, even if He Tian agreed to talk to him, he didn't know what to say. It would definitely be worse if he confessed completely.

At night, the two of them still shared the same quilt, sleeping on each side.This time Qiao Xi didn't fall asleep so quickly, he knew that He Tian didn't sleep either.The two just turned their backs to each other silently, pretending to be asleep, each having their own concerns.

The day before school started, He Tian went to Miffel Star.Qiao Xi was left behind.His study room has been furnished, and he has bought a lot of books, some of which are about mecha manufacturing.I don't know if the housekeeper didn't see it, or he didn't care at all. In short, no one asked him about it, so he put the book in the bookcase logically.

He didn't dare to buy the parts for the time being, and only used the simulator to practice the assembly of parts. Now he has started to learn the second-level parts. At this speed, he can start to learn the third-level parts next year.

No one interfered with what he was doing in the study, as long as the servants prepared what was needed, it was fine.When He Tian came back on the weekend, they would be called to the main castle to have dinner with Hesa ​​and Vera.Besides, Qiao Xi usually stays at the East Castle.

He Tian didn't let him go out, Qiao Xi had indeed never been out of the castle, at most he was wandering around the yard.When the weather cools down, sitting in the yard and reading a book is also a good choice.Regarding He Tian not letting Qiao Xi go out, everyone in the castle seemed to have reached a consensus.Qiao Xi also tried to go out, but was stopped by the guard in the end, and the polite and respectful attitude of the other party made Qiao Xi unable to get angry.

Lu Jia and Qiao Xi had seen each other through the optical brain once, and Lu Jia also came to him secretly, without any special purpose, just to ask how Qiao Xi was doing.Qiao Xi also took this opportunity to ask him some unclear questions when assembling the parts, and Lu Jia answered him without reservation.Even though Qiao Xi couldn't go out now, he didn't give up on cultivating Qiao Xi.

This morning, after Qiao Xi had breakfast, she was about to go to the study when the housekeeper came over, "His Royal Highness, Prince Hezhao came to see you, and he is talking to the princess in the living room. The princess asked me to invite you over."

Hezhao?Qiao Xi frowned slightly, he didn't know what He Zhao was looking for him for, but he felt that the other party definitely didn't come to chat with him...
