Your white moonlight is so beautiful

Not long after Shi Han and Nan Ruoyu arrived in Sri Lanka, the palace got the news, and they were obviously concerned about the orcs' every move.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is surveillance.

There were very few guests visiting the villa, and the orcs started to move.

Nan Ruoyu kept the decoration plan of the villa, Song Xin took all the things on the coffee table in the living room to the kitchen, and it was Cheng Su who answered the door.

Although the smart housekeeper can help open the door, it is always impolite for guests to come and have no one to pick them up.

Shi Han was sitting on the sofa - because Luo An jumped into his arms again.

He was almost crushed into a photo by her.

"Daddy, I want to listen to stories, and I want to hear goofy fairy tales!" Luo An was dissatisfied that the adults were always talking about "business", and finally caught an opportunity, and refused to get off of him.

Shi Han really doesn't have much talent in storytelling, so he hugged the ferret on his lap and said helplessly, "The Little Mermaid is already the bloodiest, why don't I tell you a story about the male mother of the Great Mermaid... "

Luo An shook his head like a rattle: "No male mother! No male mother!"

When Jiang Chengzhou entered the house, what he saw was such a scene of fatherly love and daughterly filial piety.

Jiang Chengzhou's forehead twitched: The little fellow lived a very colorful life, much better than him.

It's a merman, it's a ferret, and...

He calmly glanced at the saber-toothed tiger diagonally behind him, and silently distanced himself.

——There is also a dragon natural enemy.

Jiang Chengzhou came to see Shi Han today, and he didn't wear the dragon riding armor that could block the breath, so he didn't want to get too close to Cheng Su for fear of being smelled out.

Literary and artistic creators are very keen to observe their surroundings, Jiang Chengzhou's movements are not very obvious, but Cheng Su still senses the other's alienated attitude.

Cheng Su felt a little hurt.

This is not the first time he has been despised by humans.

Once, Cheng Su, like countless innocent fellows, thought that as long as the relationship was good enough, they could be honest with each other—however, when the saber-toothed tiger changed back to the beast shape, their friends fainted from fright without exception.

What's more serious is ptsd, and I can't see any color related to orange, even orange.

Cheng Su sullenly went back to update the room code, and decided to give readers a knife today.

Jiang Chengzhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shi Huxing's back going upstairs.

In the living room, Luo An said relentlessly: "Uncle Cheng's compilation on the spot is more interesting than your reading on the Internet."

That's not it, Shi Han said helplessly: "Do you know that there is a saying that there is a specialization in the arts..."

Luo An tilted his head and said, "What leaves?"

Shi Han felt unable to talk.

He called Jiang Chengzhou to sit down, and Jiang Chengzhou teased her with a smile after sitting down: "What kind of stories do you like to hear?"

"Of dragons and knights!"

The dragons in fairy tales are all killed by knights.

Jiang Chengzhou smiled calmly.

Although he speaks without restraint, he has been in the palace for a long time, and when he heard some words, he would unconsciously think about them several times.

Shi Han thinks the same as him, the difference is that Shi Han firmly believes that Cheng Su will never make up a story about killing a dragon to scare Luo An.

After all, ferrets are cuties who cry until they hiccup when they hear the little mermaid turn foamy.

If she heard that the dragon (herself) had been defeated, the girl might never forgive Susu in her life.

So Shi Han glanced at Jiang Chengzhou, and deliberately said: "...the dragon must have defeated the knight, and won the princess and wealth."

The ferret looked at him strangely, as if seeing some alien creature: "Daddy is good or bad, why did you tear down my CP?"

"The dragon likes the knight, so he catches the princess every day, tricking the knight to run after him. Of course, the ending is that the dragon and the knight are together. If he doesn't catch the princess, he won't be a dragon anymore. The young couple fall in love nicely. Why are you still relying on dog blood?"

Shi Han:? ? ?

Jiang Chengzhou: ...

The atmosphere in the living room froze for a moment.

Shi Han said sincerely, "Sorry, I forgot it was a children's book."

Jiang Chengzhou coughed lightly: "I can't see that a saber-toothed tiger is so good at breastfeeding children."

Shi Han sighed: "Yes..."

Much more reliable than my cheap father.

Seeing that he really couldn't make up a more interesting fairy tale than Cheng Su's, the ferret launched himself with a "swoosh": "I'm going to play with Yuyu, a little bit!"

As soon as Luo An left, Shi Han resisted the urge to rub his numb legs and feet, and tried his best to make his sitting posture look casual and comfortable.

In order to alleviate the lingering weird atmosphere in the living room, Jiang Chengzhou took the initiative to bring up business matters, and said, "I'm here to send invitations for your Highness."

"Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock there will be a dinner party at Nolan Villa, which will be hosted by Mr. Shen Nian himself, and His Royal Highness will also be present at that time."

Shi Han's gaze at Jiang Chengzhou became more meaningful.

Jiang Chengzhou continued: "It happened that I learned that the two of you are returning to the galaxy. Your Highness asked me to send invitations. I hope you can attend tomorrow night."

Shi Han confirmed again: "Us?"

Jiang Chengzhou nodded and said, "You and Ruoyu."

In the past month or so, Shi Han has made rapid progress, while Jiang Chengzhou has successfully attracted Shen Nian's attention and gained a certain degree of favorability by relying on the aura of the hero.

After all, Shen Nian is now under one person and above ten thousand people, and Jiang Chengzhou's attack on him will be of great benefit to his career without any harm.

According to the progress, it will soon be the highlight of "Confession on a Thunderstorm Night". Apart from visiting his friends, Shi Han also wants to know whether the progress of the plot is progressing according to the original track.

But on this occasion, only vases focus on the competition for beauty, and the banquet in the upper class is dark and turbulent. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a confrontation between political enemies.

Although Jiang Chengzhou didn't speak clearly, his expression flickered. Shi Han thought about it and took the bronzing invitation in his hand.

There is a unique security chip inside the invitation card, and after it is transmitted to the personal optical brain, it will be able to gain access to the banquet at the Nolan Villa - the villa is the private domain of the Marquis Nolan, armed with military artificial intelligence, and the automation authority is very high , The trespasser was directly killed on the spot.

Many people envied Shen Nian for getting the strictest protection, but they didn't know that all these equipments were there before Shen Nian moved into the villa.

Because Shi Han's parents were buried together in the cemetery behind the chapel in Nolan Villa.

Shi Han thought to himself, for no other reason, he had to bring Nan Ruoyu to meet his parents.

**

As the sun set, Shen Nian looked out at the vast garden outside the castle through the arched rose window. He was wearing a black suit with one hand in his trouser pocket, and his whole body was thicker than the low-hanging twilight.

"Have the invitations and dresses been delivered?"

Li Mudao, his confidant subordinate: "Yes, my subordinates will arrange for people to check again after the orcs enter the arena to confirm that these orcs will not make mistakes due to etiquette."

On such an occasion, it is impossible for any guest to be rude, because in the end it will be the face of the host.

Aristocrats, also known as aristocratic groups, can tell by their names that they are in the same camp of interests.

Ordinary people may not pay much attention to face. A "mutual respect" can solve the daily needs of most interstellar people.But the upper class regards it as more important than life - how many people, for the honor of the family, father and son turn against each other, brothers kill each other, and the blood relationship can be ignored.

Because once the honor is damaged, the whole family will be abandoned by the circle and become a bereaved dog.

The aristocrat pretends that any commoner who sees it can make a few insults and sneer. For the down-and-out nobleman, it is really murderous, and life is worse than death.

Therefore, nobles regard blood, birth, and glory more important than life, which is the basis and foundation for them to guarantee the interests of the group.

Li Mu paused, and then said: "Master, Your Highness still doesn't trust you."

"I know." Shen Nian said lightly: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the emperor's couch? When Ming Yuan refused to grant me the title of Marquis, I knew he had grown up."

"The purpose of our return this time is to win over Chief Guard Jiang." When this matter was mentioned, the subordinate said indignantly, "Who else is worthy of the title of Marquis besides you? This subordinate absolutely cannot accept the honor of the Marquis family falling to other people." body!"

Shen Nian smiled coldly: "No."

Li Mu said again: "The little emperor's own decision is very disadvantageous to us. This time, he invited the orcs without authorization, and only informed us after the fact—how can new citizens directly enter the circle of high society? What kind of talk is that!"

Orcs really shouldn't be in high society circles.Many aristocrats still insist that pets should not enjoy human rights.

Some time ago, Shen Nian voted against Chu Mingyuan in the "Beastman Rights and Interests Law" to solicit opinions from nobles - he supported the same rights for beasts and humans.

This view belongs to the category of "political correctness" and has received high support in popular polls, but it is obviously not in line with the interests of the aristocracy, and Shen Nian needs to use "representing public opinion" to stabilize his position in the aristocracy.

After all, the people of the interstellar society are not fools, and no matter how powerful the aristocratic group is, it is impossible to completely ignore the wishes of the people.

It's all just a means of political games, nothing to be true.

So Chu Mingyuan deliberately invited the orcs to the banquet held by Shen Nian, just to save his face.

But Shen Nian felt that he was not very angry, on the contrary, he was a little thankful for the little emperor's self-assessment.

Otherwise, he would have no excuse to get close to Nan Ruoyu.

The status of "widow" has both advantages and disadvantages. Now that Shen Nian wants to do something, he has to consider the emotions of these former Marquis subordinates.

He was thinking about his own private affairs, but Li Mu showed displeasure, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Although the Marquis has occasionally acted inappropriately, but if he hadn't escorted him all the way these years, His Highness would have long ago..."

"Stop talking!" Shen Nian interrupted him, got up slowly, walked to the window and closed the curtains.

When Shen Nian turned around, under the light and shadow, that beautiful face was like a swaying poppy flower.

He said: "I know you are loyal to the Marquis, but do you think you are safe around me? How many people have set up eyeliners here, just waiting to catch me."

Li Mu tried his best to calm down, and said hoarsely, "It's because my subordinates didn't think carefully."

Li Mu used to be a counselor under the Marquis of Nolan.

The news of the Marquis' death came so suddenly that most people could not accept it.

After this group of people thought about it, the little emperor's motives and suspicions were the greatest - since ancient times, there can be no two tigers in one mountain, and the conflict between the powerful ministers and the emperor can never be reconciled.

Shi Han often went abroad for inspections, and Sri Lanka's political affairs, no matter how big or small, had to go through his hands. The Marquis's fleet was like a mobile government affairs palace, and the serious little lord in the palace was like a mascot that was not useful.

If it was a child from an ordinary family, Chu Mingyuan was still at an innocent age at this time, and any conspiracies and tricks would have nothing to do with him, but if it was a great nobleman, it would not be comparable at all.

The early death of parents, the power of the younger uncle, the elite education of the nobles...every experience is a standard for precocity.

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

If it wasn't for his confidant subordinates who rescued Shen Nian from the sea of ​​flames, he might have followed the Marquis long ago - compared to the little emperor who was too calm after hearing the news of his death.

However, Chu Mingyuan remained unmoved. As soon as he came to court the next day, he took back the military power and handed it over to the old general Du Gan.

General Du is an old minister left behind by the late emperor, and one of the diehard royalists. He has had many conflicts with the Marquis in military and political affairs, and has already torn his face.

The Marquis of Nolan's body is still alive, and this move will undoubtedly weaken the real power of the Marquis's party.

Li Mu and the others immediately swore to Shen Nian to express their loyalty and to seek justice for Marquis Nolan.

Under their hard fighting, Chu Mingyuan really made a concession, allowing Shen Nian to inherit the property and power of the Marquis as a "widow" - but the title was not granted to him.

Li Mu and his party pressed on step by step, but Ji Lin, a cabinet scholar, suddenly stood up and accused the Marquis of Nolan for controlling the government for a long time and not paying attention to the lord of the galaxy. Now that the Marquis died in battle, even his subordinates dared to "regent" !

Ji Lin has assisted two generations of Sri Lankan emperors, and was also the court teacher of the Marquis of Nolan.He was clean and honest all his life, but he said "regret teaching a student like Shihan", and severed the relationship between master and apprentice with the words "deviating from the scriptures and using unscrupulous means".

He was also a royalist.

Under the feudal system, no one dared to accept the high hat of "holding the emperor".

Later, it was Shen Nian who came forward to silence the flags and drums and presented Shi Han's saber to Chu Mingyuan, which meant returning the power to the little emperor who was only seven years old.

On the surface, Chu Mingyuan accepted this "loyalty", but the two parties must have formed a relationship.

Afterwards, Shen Nian frequently traveled to other galaxies and rarely returned to Sri Lanka.

Outsiders thought that the Marquis and his party had given up fighting for power, but in fact they just changed a fleet.During the whole travel period, Shen Nian's power grew stronger.

And Jiang Chengzhou's power also grew at the same time.

Soon, this young man with a somewhat evil background came into Shen Nian's field of vision.

Every time the other party's eyes fell on him, Shen Nian felt like a light on his back.

It was an uncontrollable desire to conquer.

Shen Nian knew that Jiang Chengzhou was interested in him.

Not only Jiang Chengzhou, but many people have a special interest in Shen Nian - because this is the Marquis of Nolan's man.

The Marquis was unruly and unruly all his life, with a cunning vision, and all his collections are one in a million, and the collectors must be like this.

After the death of that short but colorful man, those who admire him, those who hate him, those who miss him, those who want to surpass him...all lose their goals, and Shen Nian becomes their new object of attention.

Shen Nian also knows how to take advantage of this kind of attention.

He saw the same ambition as himself in Jiang Chengzhou's eyes.

Shen Nian took out a photon pen from the desk drawer, clicked on the galaxy distribution map, and said, "Don't worry about guard Jiang, just focus on Marlborough, the presence of orcs is also beneficial to us, I hope After tomorrow night, both he and I can get what we want."

Li Mu lowered his eyes and said yes.

**

When Shi Han and Nan Ruoyu came out after changing their clothes, Song Xin couldn't help but shine.

Nan Ruoyu is still dressed in men's palace attire made of snow-white mulberry silk. Compared with military school uniforms, the palace attire is a little less stiff but has a lot more design sense in details, and some small and exquisite The decoration is extravagant and not too overwhelming.

Shihan's facial features are deep blue eyes evil, a black tuxedo with a silk court shirt, and a golden medal of meritorious service.

Song Xin praised sincerely: "Look at Xiaohan, he has better aristocratic temperament than I have ever seen."

Shi Han smiled and said nothing.

Luo An wanted another ferret to go down the mountain and rush towards her. Cheng Su easily grabbed her by the back of the neck and put the ferret back into his arms: "Don't ruin your daddy's and Yuyu's clothes, they look expensive of."

The corner of Shi Han's mouth twitched slightly, and he had a new understanding of the awakened power of the saber-toothed tiger.

The suspension convoy arrived outside the villa on time, and as soon as he saw the silver rose logo on the car, he knew it was the convoy sent by Chu Mingyuan.

The little emperor was a little too courteous.

Shi Han secretly turned his head to look at Nan Ruoyu, his heart was blue and blue with sour bubbles.

After all, they are still eating soft rice.

Shi Han thought sadly.

Nan Ruoyu was a little excited.

Most of the dishes that Shi Han likes, there is not even a complete tutorial on the Internet - ordinary people in the interstellar society basically don't know how to cook, and the housework is taken care of by smart housekeepers, and the semi-finished ingredients delivered by the supermarket can be directly heated in the kitchen for cooking. have eaten.

But just like the brine shop in the food street, the machine-processed food just can’t produce that ecstatic taste, the smart housekeeper has no sense of taste, and the experience of making meals and heating them will not change in the slightest.

Only in backward places like Cambrian, or as luxurious as the nobles, chefs will cook.

People who are picky eaters naturally understand a truth-there are many ways to cook food, the most important thing is to know what the authentic taste is in order to make a similar one, otherwise it will always be just talk on paper.

The wine menu for the dinner was also distributed to the guests in advance, and the taboos and eating habits were carefully considered by the chef.

Nan Ruoyu was ready to try a little of the same.

What Shi Han looked at was the other side—wine.

Shi Han likes wine very much, and he can drink very well.

Although the doctor told him not to drink too much, it can be seen from the wine cellar under the Nolan Villa, which is as big as the entire villa, that the Marquis's love for wine is second only to the rare roses in the Manor.

There was no sense of dizziness when the suspension car was driving, but Shi Han suddenly remembered while sitting in the car, wondering how Nan Ruoyu's drinking capacity was.

Unknowingly, he thought a little bit, "Ruoyu."

Nan Ruoyu didn't take her eyes off the menu for a moment, and said casually, "Huh?"

"Have you ever drunk?"

"No, what is that?"

"It's a good thing, drink some with me at night." Shi Han rubbed Nan Ruoyu's hair as he spoke—this was an unconscious coaxing action.

Nan Ruoyu didn't notice it, and responded simply: "Okay."
