Crown Prince's Wedding Banquet

"Your Highness, are you listening to me?" Marion Leonard, the former Deputy Minister of Education, asked.

Zhou Qin pulled back his thoughts: "Of course, Your Excellency."

"I'm talking about some common sense about the empire. I believe that you knew it well when you were young and studying. However, the political arena of the empire is unpredictable. I hope you can get new inspiration from my narration." Marion said .

"I'm really listening to your story, Mr. Leonard." Zhou Qin defended himself, "You just said that the empire was an autocratic monarchy system in the early days. With the awakening of democratic consciousness, the royal family could only continue to release Power is exchanged for compromise. So we are now a centralized monarchy, with the emperor ruling, the parliament making legislation, and the highest judicial institution supervising, thus forming a relatively democratic and sound social mechanism.”

This was something that a prince had to understand clearly when he was five years old. Zhou Qin didn't understand why Marion had to tell it again.

The throne is hereditary, and the successor emperor can form a cabinet and have military power and central master control authority.However, the parliament restricted the power of the emperor by legislation, thus forming a highly centralized form of democracy.For thousands of years, the nobles have controlled the vast majority of the cabinet seats, but they have been losing ground in the parliament.After several adjustments, the aristocrats currently hold 16 of the 9 cabinet seats, leaving only 438 of the 100 seats in the parliament.

It can be said that the emperor and the cabinet represented the interests of the vast majority of the aristocracy.The parliament, on the other hand, represented the interests of the emerging jazz class and the middle and upper classes of civilians.

Both sides are fighting for each other, and the political game will never end.

"I was recommended and appointed by the council to be your current affairs teacher in Emperor Star. The purpose is to let you familiarize yourself with the current situation in Emperor Star as soon as possible. After all, whether you want to or not, after you become the crown prince, every word or even every sentence of yours The eyes will point to something." Marion said.

"Teacher, I will definitely study hard." Zhou Qin repeatedly stated his position, only to restore his image in the eyes of a strict person like Marion.

Marion nodded: "Then, Your Highness, do you support the Royalists or the Democrats?"

"As far as I know, there is no partisanship in our country's political arena. That is the patent of the Star Alliance."

"It is true that the empire has no parties. But it does not mean that there is no tendency." When Marion said this, Zhou Qin understood that parties are meaningless under the centralized monarchy of the empire, but when political interests follow, politicians will naturally choose Support the emperor, or support the parliament.

Supporting the emperor is royalist.

Supporting parliament is naturally the Democratic Party.

"Before you were canonized as the crown prince, your third sister, Zhou Muzhi, was the most likely heir in line." Marion said, "She has made remarkable military achievements, has unique political opinions, is kind and close to the people, and has a very good eye for selecting and employing people. The spiritual power has reached the S level for the first time. If it is not because she is a Beta, there is no suspense about the position of the crown prince." As the representative of the council, Mr. Marion used countless compliments to pack the three princesses into hype, Perfectly comparable to the ancestors.It is obvious that the parliament has a higher degree of favorability for the third princess.

The two-hour current affairs class passed slowly in the silent, lengthy, boring and sticky narration of Teacher Marion. Zhou Qin once thought that the clock was broken. He changed his sitting position several times, and finally endured until the end of get out of class moment.

"So our lesson today—"

"Thank you, teacher, and see you on Wednesday." Zhou Qin interrupted Marion's summary almost immediately, and left Marion's office without losing politeness.

He needs to get familiar with the position of crown prince as soon as possible. After all, no one has asked him to be crown prince since he was a child.Current affairs class, social class, and military practice class were all suppressed, making him, who had already left the study period, in a hurry.Not only that, but soon he will be involved in related political activities, to play tricks... oh no, to contribute to the consolidation of the people's loyalty.

The overall course arrangement is carried out in the outer court office area of ​​the palace. When Zhou Qin walked out of the office building of the Ministry of Education, he saw Yong Mu waiting for him outside the door.

"Brother, I'm here to pick you up from school." Yong Mu waved his hand.

"It was rumored that you were personally assigned by the emperor to accompany me as a student. Why did you disappear when it was time for class? I feel that you disappeared as fast as Photon." Zhou Qin teased him.

Yong Mu said innocently: "As a person who wants to become a cabinet minister of the future emperor, how can I accept such a basic course? I must be planning the future for Your Highness while you are concentrating on your studies."

Zhou Qin snorted: "Thank you, let's wipe off the lipstick on the neckline first. I don't know which lover the Crown Prince Yongmu is planning my future with?"

"My God, I told him to be careful." Yong Mu didn't care about the lipstick on his neckline, "It's just a married man, very empty and lonely. Every time his husband comes to work in the outer court, I go to help him." he."

"help him?"

"Solving the difficulties of the empty and lonely Omega in the boudoir is the duty of our Alphas."

Zhou Qin stared at him for a long time: "I think you are more brazen than me."

Yong Mu was very humble: "Then how dare you compete with Your Highness?"

The two walked out of the entire office area of ​​the outer court and stopped outside the centralized hovering platform. Yong Mu asked him, "Is there anything else your Highness wants to do tonight?"

"Marion assigned me a bunch of current affairs homework, and I have to finish it before Wednesday." Zhou Qin said.

"So brother, are you planning to go home?" Yong Mu asked.

"What do you mean?"

"As far as I know, according to the efficiency of the matching center, the one you're genetically matched with is already waiting for you at the Crown Prince's Manor." Yong Mu asked him, "Are you in a hurry to go home? It is forbidden before the wedding, but other contacts are also encouraged. I heard that Elise is very flexible, and because of martial arts, she can perform various difficult poses. Brother Huang, you can consider this That...and then...that and that..."

Zhou Qin couldn't bear this cheap cousin who could make pornographic jokes at any time: "Shut up."

Yong Mu's expression of success: "Are you still in a hurry to go back?"

"Go to your house." Zhou Qin said, "The old prince specially hosted a banquet for me last time, so I happened to go over to express my thanks."

Elis asked the attendant to prepare some household clothes and incense, and took a careful bath in the bathroom, washing it clean from the inside to the outside.He carefully cleaned every inch of his skin, lest the pheromone smell of other Alphas remain on his body.The clothes at home were carefully infected with the fragrance of camellia.

His pheromone smell is the smell of camellia, but now he is confined to the heart of love, and can only use some assistance to make himself smell more beautiful and delicious.

The clothes at home were also carefully selected by him. The off-white color has faint dark patterns, and the wide cuffs and collar are embroidered with complicated patterns with silk threads of the same color.All he has to do is bow his head, revealing his collarbone and the upper half of his chest—ascetic, elegant and easy to unpack.

Some gentlemen just like this kind of tone of eagerness to talk, and as a qualified lover, Elis doesn't mind cooperating with the performance.

After he changed into all his clothes, Butler Wu was already waiting in the living room.This was the only retainer brought by Zhou Qin's subordinate land. He raised Zhou Qin since he was a child, so Elias naturally didn't want to neglect him. After tidying up his hair a little, he opened the door and entered the living room.

"Good day, Xia Lan." Butler Wu had already changed into an old-fashioned three-piece suit, he put his glasses in his left breast pocket, and bowed his head to Elise.

"Good day, Butler Wu."

Butler Wu raised his head and looked at Elise's attire.

"Butler Wu, do you think there is something wrong with my clothes?" Elis asked him.

"No, Xia Lan." Butler Wu withdrew his gaze, "I just follow the usual practice and come to greet you. If you have any comments on any matters in the manor in the future, you can call me to deal with them. Correspondingly, I need to ask you Participate in the management of the estate."

"I see." Elise nodded.He had no interest in fighting for the rights and interests of these wealthy mansions, so he asked instead: "When will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come back?"

Wu Jianjian looked at the time: "Your Highness attended Mr. Leonard's current affairs class today, and get out of class should be over now. It is estimated that we will arrive at the manor in 10 to [-] minutes. I ask you to prepare to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible."

"I'm ready." Elis said, "I'll go downstairs and wait for His Highness."

With two attendants, Elise stood still in the hall at the main entrance of the manor.

Twenty minutes passed, and the crown prince's shuttle was not seen in the distance.

Another half an hour passed, the sky had begun to darken, and the twin moons of the empire slowly appeared in the sky, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still did not appear.

Elias looked calm, but changed his foot slightly.

More than an hour passed, and even the servants began to whisper.Elise's expression remained unchanged.

"Xia Lan." Butler Wu leaned over and called out.

Elise looked back at him.

"Under Lan, I just spoke with His Highness. He is having dinner at the old prince's house tonight, so you don't need to wait for him. He will call you when you come back in the evening."

Elis wasn't angry either. He loosened his shoulders and said to the attendant, "Since His Highness won't come back, go and help me prepare dinner. I'm a bit hungry."

Chefs at the Crown Prince's Mansion hail from every galaxy in the Empire, rich and delicious.

Elise finished the meal seriously.I went back to my suite and started watching TV, but most of the TV stations were rebroadcasting the crown prince's genetic matching process.

There were even some courageous ones who surrounded the gate of the Crown Prince's Manor.

"Dear viewers, you can see that behind us is the Prince's Manor. According to insiders, Christian Lanxia has already moved in today. I don't know how they get along—"

Elise turned off the TV, read a book for a while before getting ready for bed.

At around 11:[-] p.m. solar time, his communicator rang. Since Elis was forced to transform into an Omega, he has not been in good spirits. He almost fell asleep at this time.But the first time the communicator rang, he pressed the answer button.

Steward Wu's voice came from the communicator: "Xia Lan, I heard from the servant that you have rested?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Elis nestled in the velvet blanket and didn't want to open her eyes.

"It's like this. Your Highness has already returned home. He summoned you to his study. I have arranged for your attendant to wait outside the door. Please get dressed as soon as possible. Your Highness is not a person who likes to wait."

"I'll go right away." Elis hung up the phone and sat up.

An Alpha summoning him at this point in time usually only means one thing.
