When the noise rang out, He Linwan and Jia Lie were in the middle of the dance floor.

The court orchestra seemed to be tireless, playing cheerful dance music one after another. According to tradition, at the dinner, the newcomers would join hands to enter the dance floor and lead a dance for the guests present.

As the most popular nobleman in the empire, Baron Raphael has an excellent appearance and matching perfect dance steps, and His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince is no less impressive.

Locke was surprisingly honest tonight. Although his eyes sneaked glances at Jiang Chengzhou from time to time, he obediently stayed by the prince's side. The most rare thing was that he didn't bother his brother.

Jiang Chengzhou rejected all dance invitations tonight, which made Locke very satisfied. As for Chu Mingyuan...

Locke received a noble court education since he was a child, and he didn't have many messy things in his mind-in his cognition, lords and nobles are purely superior-subordinate relationships.

And as far as he knew, Chu Mingyuan's temper was not Jiang Chengzhou's favorite either.

Locke secretly found out that Jiang Chengzhou likes gentle and obedient people.

Since the development of human beings, male chauvinism has long been out of fashion in the interstellar society, but occasionally encountering one or two, Locke finds it quite fresh.

Locke has been short-tempered since he was a child, and he must get what he likes. For this reason, his father has repeatedly criticized him for being arrogant.

After growing up, Locke has restrained himself, but knows how to "package" his own desires, so that everything he does looks more in line with his identity.

At the very least, it would save me a little scolding. It would be really bad if even my parents didn't support me.

Parents are good at everything, but they like to compare him with his elder brother Jialie too much.Obviously they are both parents' children, Locke is inferior to his brother in all aspects.

In fact, Locke's grades are not bad. The court teachers all said that he is exceptionally talented in interstellar construction, which is difficult for other princes and princesses to come close to.

But his father still favored Galiel. After he was thirteen or fourteen, even Prince Leroy began to talk about himself.

Locke, who has entered the rebellious period, began to contradict his parents and frequently troubled Galiel. As long as he could make Galiel irritable, Locke would do anything.

But tonight was different. Jiang Chengzhou was there tonight.

Jiang Chengzhou always avoided him before, and Locke noticed it.Mostly because marrying the royal family is troublesome, and not everyone likes to cling to the powerful.Thinking of Jiang Chengzhou being such a person, Locke's affection for him increased a bit.

So he would rather sit next to his parents and be a gentleman, even if Jiang Chengzhou didn't seem to notice him, Locke was not discouraged.

Without the shit-stirring stick of his younger brother, Jialie is really proud tonight.

He Linwan gave enough face at the engagement banquet, Baron Raphael, who was always cloudy and uncertain, even showed a rare smile tonight.

With everyone's blessings, the two really look like a newlywed couple who are in love with each other.

The atmosphere was too strong, and after a few glasses of wine, Jialie felt dizzy, and even began to fantasize in his mind——He Linwan is a man responsible for the family (court), and all kinds of conflicts will become a thing of the past. We must be able to join forces.

Take back everything that should belong to you.

However, when the twelve o'clock bell rang, all the beautiful fantasies disappeared at the moment of the commotion at the door.

Jia Lie, who was dancing gracefully on the dance floor, clearly felt that He Linwan's fingertips became cold instantly, and even through a layer of white gloves, he felt that what he was holding was a piece of ice that could not be warmed.

But Jia Lie still stubbornly pulled He Linwan to continue dancing, trying to draw the other party's attention back to the center of the dance floor - the king and his wife were sitting together and talking quietly, and their loving eyes fell on them from time to time.

Gallie held his fiancé's hand tightly and tried his best to finish the dance with only 20 seconds left.

But suddenly the back of his waist lightened.

He Linwan let go.

"Feel sorry……"

When the baron let go of Gallet, he bowed to His Majesty the King and the Queen's husband on the rostrum.

"There seems to be something wrong at the door. I'll go and deal with it. Excuse me."

After speaking, he turned around and strode towards the direction of the commotion just now under the surprised eyes of a group of nobles.

Jia Lie stayed in mid-air with his hands still clasped, and the cheerful dance music that was not over was in his ears, but he could only watch the figure go further and further away.

**

The commotion caused by Shi Han was not too big.

To be precise, before he came, he had a mentality of "I haven't seen anything before", and he had to catch Jiang Chengzhou and go back to work as a coolie.

But God likes to joke so much, when Shihan was about to break into the venue, Nan Ruoyu suddenly tugged at his sleeve and told him: Luo An was found.

The news is accurate and reliable. The situation in Sri Lanka has been completely brought under control at present. It was Shi Han's old enemy--Cabinet Grand Master Ji Lin who came forward.

After the regent's old subordinates were suppressed or annexed, which faction in the Sri Lankan capital became the strongest?

Of course, it is the royalists left by the late emperor.

If it weren't for a group of loyal veterans stationed in Jindu, Chu Mingyuan wouldn't be relieved to come out for two months.

But for Shi Han, who has been fighting with the royalists for seven years——sorry, he has never seen this scene _(:з"∠)_

The guards in the banquet hall were startled and angry, and the attendants were sweating profusely. The noble guests who were sobering up outside the door and enjoying the night cherry blossoms all opened their big Kazilan eyes, and the expressions on their faces seemed to say—the king Your Majesty is just inside the door. I respect you, you are indeed the Marquess of Nolan.

Shi Han: "..."

It's all here, what can the little dragon do?

Fortunately, this is not the first time for the adjutant to smooth things over for his boss. After all, Jiang Chengzhou dared to call himself the number one when it comes to social arrogance, while Shi Han could only come in second.

Colonna had been prepared for a long time, he took a step forward with his head held high, and said aggressively: "Why, tonight the Oliveira family is married, the lords and knights of our sixteenth district are all inside, and now the Marquis personally comes to give gifts to congratulate , do you still dare to stop it?"

The guards looked at each other.

Shi Han's identity has not been confirmed by Sri Lankan, and the dragon blood has not given a reasonable explanation. At this moment, Shi Han is blatantly appearing in the name of a dead person, and the palace guards can completely ignore it.

But they really couldn't move him.

Because the Pope said that this is the "Holy Child" that the Holy Church has been looking for for decades.

Their attack on Shi Han is tantamount to destroying the last hope of human beings to recover their spiritual power.

Unless Helian Wei changed her words and said that she drank too much that day, who would bear the consequences?

Even the king can only think twice.

A guard stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's not that this subordinate wants to make things difficult for you. You took the invitation card from the Duke of Ellis. If this subordinate lets you through, it will be a dereliction of duty..."

Adjutant Colonna puffed up his chest: "What does your dereliction of duty have to do with our Marquis? Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!"

The guards didn't dare to talk back when they were scolded, they could only bear it, and the arrogance they had when they blocked this group of people before was gone.

Shi Han raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he was a little impressed by this bluffing adjutant.

It has to be said that Jiang Chengzhou is quite knowledgeable and good at using people. Colonna may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but after getting in touch with him, he does have merits - at least he can quickly figure out the needs of his superiors and at the same time add drama to himself.

Now that Shi Han wants soldiers or power, someone needs to help him bluff.

Nan Ruoyu watched Colonna's every move curiously, but was suddenly pulled by Shi Han: "Look what, you're not this kind of stuff, don't compete with others for jobs."

Nan Ruoyu was angry: "Are you looking down on me?"

The adjutant vaguely heard the Marquis mentioning himself, and out of curiosity, he quietly pricked up his ears to hear how they were going to praise him.

In the end, I heard Shi Han say: "Do you know what happens to cannon fodder?"

Adjutant: ... Huh?

If it wasn't for the cold crow's mouth, Baron Raphael walked out of the banquet hall before he could finish his sentence.

He Linwan wore a noble white tuxedo, with no expression of joy or anger on his stern face: "Say what you just said again."

The adjutant's knees softened and he almost knelt down.

Came to the door with him, as well as the princes and nobles who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

Shi Han felt a coldness falling on him, it was He Linwan's gaze.

The last time he was scrutinized like this was at the Cambrian auction venue: He Linwan's men threw the boy into the arena, and the successive changes disrupted Shi Han's original plan.

In Shi Han's view, no matter which body he lives in, his soul always stands in the camp of human interests.

Even if he was the first star system ruler to develop commercial relations with orcs, he did so for his own gain.

The moment the air crash alarm on Cambrian was sounded, Shi Han would never forget the pair of pigeon blood jewel-like eyes of the giant dragon Soli, which closed forever in front of his eyes.

He even selfishly hopes that Soli can be rescued and returned to his home planet, although the possibility is very slim—the two races will go to war, and Soli will be used as a bargaining chip to delay time. After the human army is assembled, she will have no extra use value .

This is a defense battle, and there is a high probability that the imperial army will use the blood of the dragon princess to swear to heaven.

He Linwan could have bought more time, but for some reason, the dragon army suddenly attacked directly as if they had learned the news of Suoli's death in advance, turning the entire Cambrian into purgatory in less than half an hour, and severely injured Baron Raphael with A-level mecha.

To be honest, Shi Han was very... relieved when he first heard the news.

He didn't look good towards Baron Raphael, but He Linwan looked at Shi Han with a much more complicated expression. Apart from that cold surprise, there were many other emotions mixed in.

Shi Han smiled and said: "If you ask me to say it, I will say it, then I will lose face."

Seeing that Shi Han made a rescue for himself, Colonna gave him a grateful look, but Shi Han didn't look at him.

Shi Han met He Linwan's eyes.

The four eyes met, extremely noisy and quiet filled the space at the same time.

That kind of demeanor and tone of calmness, only the person who once supported the entire Sri Lanka with one hand has such confidence.

The incident happened suddenly, He Linwan hurried to the door, but didn't think about what to say, so that after standing here, he just stared at the other party, his eyes unblinking, as if to penetrate this layer of skin Spy into the depths of the soul to confirm whether it is the person he thought.

Shi Han doesn't remember him.

It's normal not to remember when I was in the palace of Helius back then.

At that time, Shi Han was still a 17-year-old noble boy, and when he was scolded, he was arrogant and fearless, without any repentance.

Now I am engaged, but the other party brings his partner to "congratulate".

He Linwan has never had such a deep understanding of the four words that things are not people.

Seeing a group of gorgeously dressed nobles watching the show at the door, Jialie managed to calm himself down, with a smile on his face, and said: "It's such a coincidence, I can meet old friends when I come out to sober up."

He walked up to He Linwan's side, straightened his clothes with concern, and said, as if he was in the palace to declare his sovereignty, "It's windy outside, and my father is still waiting for us to go back."

This show was deliberate and obvious, and Shi Han was simply inexplicable.

What puzzled him even more was that He Linwan never took his eyes off his face.

The atmosphere became very strange for a while.

Seeing that He Linwan really didn't give himself any face, Jia Lie was a little annoyed, but he finally turned his head and said with a smile: "Today is the day of our engagement, Your Majesty hopes to invite guests, since you are here They're all here, and I have no reason not to invite you in, it just so happens that His Majesty talked about you with the Duke two days ago."

As expected of a deadly enemy, He Linwan returned to his senses reflexively when he heard the word "Duke".

Fortunately, he was very self-cultivated, and he didn't lose his composure in front of the guests. He Linwan recovered his calm appearance, moved half a step away, and made a "please" gesture towards the banquet hall.

The noble guests also spontaneously dispersed to make way for an aisle.

Just like that, Shi Han took Nan Ruoyu's hand and stepped into the top social occasion in the entire interstellar under the eyes of everyone.

**

When they showed up this time, the discussion was much quieter.

No one dared to talk about orcs as unscrupulously as before, but their eyes were more curious than before.

It was as if a group of Yun were scurrying around in the melon field, and the eyes of all the Yun lit up the moment they saw Shi Han.

Nan Ruoyu's stunning face can be played in any environment and light, and she doesn't need a little decoration to stand out.

He held hands with Shi Han and showed his face against his husband. The lovers don't need any deliberate show of affection to make others feel as sweet as soaking in a jar of honey.

Shi Han conveniently took a glass of white wine from the attendant's tray, raised his glass to Jiang Chengzhou who was not far away, and nodded.

The goal is clear, the posture is leisurely, and the expression is relaxed. It seems that it is the kind that can do a job with ease in this kind of situation.

Jiang Chengzhou's face darkened.

How blind must I be to think that the "little fellow" is weak, helpless and pitiful?

The hexagonal hero is in a fit of anger, how can he lose his momentum?So he also bowed in Shi Han's direction, as polite as if the two met each other for the first time tonight.

Long Aotian, who has always been familiar with himself, is suddenly so alienated, which really makes Shi Han stunned.

The Marquis of Nolan has so many things to do every day, he is too lazy to spend time on guessing people's thoughts. His only patience after marriage is to guess the domestic fish that will be sunny and rainy for a while. little fun.

But now Shihan found that Jiang Chengzhou's mind was much harder to guess.

Out of etiquette, he now had to wait for the male lead and come before the king and his husband first.

Oliveira IV on the throne obviously didn't affect his mood because of this little episode. The toasting guests were bustling, forcing Shi Han to wait for a while before they dispersed.

When the king passed through the crowd and saw Shi Han, his first words were:

"Duke Ellis has already told me."

If it were someone else, he would definitely have planned to explain something, but the drafts he had prepared were all choked back at the beginning of the game, and he would probably be thrown into disarray.

Shi Han was concerned about the safety of the ferret, so he didn't intend to explain to Ben.

As soon as Nan Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief, the next thing the king said was: "But I still have doubts."

Emotions are tense again.

Nan Ruoyu obviously regarded the king as his biggest enemy, Shi Han patted the back of the other's hand with some amusement, and signaled him to be calm, his concern made many surrounding nobles gasp.

——Is this the Marquis Nolan who was fearless back then, who could piss off a god with just one mouth?

People's eyes turned back and forth between the two faces, and finally came to a conclusion: Sure enough, only magic can defeat magic.

Shi Han said fearlessly: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

The king looked relaxed and said in a soothing tone: "There is not only one way to dispel doubts."

"I heard that the Marquis loves to drink. Not to mention the acquisition of hundreds of wineries, there are quite a few in his family. Why don't you tell me, which manor on which interstellar wine is produced tonight..."

"That's right, I won't pursue it."

After all, he is a king, even making things difficult can be said to be like a reward.

The king seemed to be chatting and joking with his own family, but it made many nobles present secretly startled—how much eyeliner did His Majesty know about the preferences of a noble in a remote galaxy, even the purchase of the winery? Clearly? !

Immediately, an attendant used a priceless luminous cup to fill the rich and crystal clear wine from the fountain pool and offered it to them.

Shi Han put down his wine, picked up the luminous cup, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming out and giving away the sub-questions."

The king raised his eyebrows high.

Someone wondered: "You know it's a sub-question without drinking?"

"Even if you know that His Majesty the Eleventh is engaged, His Majesty will definitely choose the best wine, but you are too confident."

Someone else fanned the flames and said: "You must know that if you say something wrong, your Majesty will punish you."

The king never said that if he made a mistake, he would be punished, and these nobles deliberately used their alcohol to stir up fire.

Unfortunately, Shi Han could only disappoint them.

He swirled the crystal clear wine in his glass, and said with a smile: "The best wine in the universe is in my cellar. I have saved it for so many years, but I was wasted half of it by that prodigal son of Shen Nian. How can this be possible?" .”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar around.

What Shi Han said is true, someone has long seen that Shen Nian has a false name and no real ability - not long after his fiancé died in battle, he turned around and ruined his family fortune, and in the end he didn't make a name for himself.

Even if this matter is placed on nobles who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, it will make people laugh.

It's just that Shi Han "died", so the gossip in the aristocratic circle didn't fall into his ears.

The king smiled and said: "In this way, I have taken love with a sword."

Shi Han didn't change his face and said: "One yard is one yard, Shen Nian has done a lot of dirty things, and the wine is not given to the wrong person. Otherwise, I can't even hand out a decent gift tonight, and I should feel ashamed. "

In the end, it is the Marquis of Nolan, and the score is not bad when people's hearts are determined. Appropriate weakness can often achieve unexpected results.

Sure enough, so many nobles and ministers watched, Oliveira IV has always called himself a benevolent king, and he couldn't get down because of these words, he just said: "It's not easy for you these years, the development of the sixteenth district is inseparable from you, There are credits and hard work, and it is understandable to care less about the people around you..."

"I am not a harsh king, forgive you for your innocence."

Shi Han said gracefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After getting up, he raised the luminous cup in the direction of the Sun Throne, with the same tone as before: "I, Shihan. May Your Majesty and the Prince be blessed with God's grace forever, and may there be no more wars between the stars."

The nobles all toasted in agreement.

"May your majesty and prince be blessed with God's grace forever, and there will be no more wars in the interstellar world... may the glory of the empire be immortal!"

The king drank with his ministers.

Nan Ruoyu had experienced the power of alcohol, and the last time she experienced it was still vivid in her memory, she only dared to take small sips.

However, the test does not stop when the monarch resigns.

Locke, who was sitting next to the prince, put down the crystal glass and stretched his neck to look around: "Why did the musician stop? Didn't he still dance just now?"

The musician was eating melons, when he suddenly remembered his duties, and started playing again in a hurry.

Cheerful dance music filled the banquet hall again, and Locke turned around with satisfaction, and looked at the couple in the middle of the hall with a smile: "Since you are here for the dinner, you will be punished for being late for so long."

There was a mischievous gleam in his eyes: "Let's say, three cups each or one dance, you choose."
