Crown Prince's Wedding Banquet

Yilaisi was startled, and immediately reflexively said: "But Miao Ying is coming over today..."

Zhou Qin just looked at him like that and didn't speak.

Elis lowered her head: "Okay, I understand, Your Highness."

"Is there anything I want to bring under Lan?" Zhou Qin asked him.

"No."

"Then let's go." After Zhou Qin said this, he turned and went out.

Until the shuttle took off, Du Bin and Ren Xingyu in the spaceship just greeted Eles very cautiously, and then Ren Xingyu took advantage of this time to report to Zhou Qin on today's itinerary.

This is the first day since Zhou Qin completed all the education courses after he obtained the canonization documents and became the crown prince, and officially entered the outer court to handle the corresponding government affairs.

His current main work arrangement is to filter the matters that need to be dealt with for His Majesty, to receive requests from all parties on behalf of His Majesty, to attend cabinet meetings, and to concentrate on preparing for the wedding.

After the monthly meeting of the parliament, the impact is not just that Zhou Muzhi's constitutional revision plan failed to pass the final trial. Zhou Qin, a bad stock that is not optimistic about himself, has gained more benefits and attention in this round of tug-of-war than expected.

In fact, no one dared to openly call him the "puppet crown prince" anymore.

He has the support of Prince Yongfan in the royal family, is very close to Commander-in-Chief Clark in the military, and has the support of moderates represented by the speaker, and has close contacts with the next generation of successors of MW Power Company.

In just two months, Zhou Qin used his skills to prove that the various political achievements he made in Yeshan were no coincidence. On the stage of Emperor Star, he can still gain a firm foothold, which is so dazzling that it is impossible not to admire him .

What's more, he is so young...

The future of the empire seemed to belong to him.

Therefore, on Zhou Qin's first day of work in the outer court, when his shuttle arrived at the corresponding exclusive parking space in the outer court, the entire outer court seemed to be no different from usual, but the group of civil servants were already very impressed with the arrival of the crown prince. The news is in the palm of your hand.

Of course, they also knew at the same time that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince came to the outer court office area together.

"It's not easy. The crown prince brought the concubine the first day he went to work?"

"It's not too formal, and it's not too serious."

"It's not to attend the banquet, what's the matter with bringing your own wife? And you haven't officially married yet."

Discussions like this have already begun to surface on anonymous forum boards in the Outer Court.

But the crown prince and his wife don't care, and don't care.

Zhou Qin's mind had already begun to shift to the tedious and boring government work of the day. As for the major general... When he stepped off the shuttle and stood in the outer court again, facing the dense office building, his heart was a little complicated.

Get off the shuttle from this position, and then use the special maglev vehicle in the outer court, or drive the shuttle to the previous apron, and walk directly inside. In 10 minutes, you will be the office building of the military headquarters in Emperor Star.

He used to have an office of his own on the eighth floor—although he basically didn't stay there in the last few years, he never expected that one day, he would be gone for such a long time.

It's been so long that he doesn't even have an identity to come to the outer court again, and he doesn't know who the office belongs to now?

What he didn't expect was that in the end, he actually revisited his hometown in such a capacity.

"Let's go, Elis." Zhou Qin said to him.

Elis came back to his senses: "Okay, Your Highness."

Under the leadership of Ren Xingyu, they entered the cabinet office area of ​​the central office building in the outer court, and took a high-speed elevator to enter the top floor. In addition to the office of His Majesty the Emperor, they also opened up a large office area for the Crown Prince alone. area.

After a group of people entered the office area, they settled Zhou Qin's office, and then the secretary's office area also quickly started work. Ren Xingyu and several other old and new staff formed a secretarial team to handle the crown prince's related government affairs in an orderly manner. .

Du Bin had secretly abandoned these people long ago, and went to the restaurant downstairs to give himself extra meals.

Only Elis had nothing to do. He sat on the long sofa in Zhou Qin's office and watched Zhou Qin turn on the computer and get busy.Soon, the boring typing sound and the deliberately lowered voice in the office made him drowsy due to lack of rest.In a few minutes he would be able to wade onto the couch and fall asleep.

"Xingyu, arrange a lounge for Lanxia." Zhou Qindao, "The kind that can handle some government affairs if necessary."

Ren Xingyu's voice came from the beeper: "I'll arrange it now. There is a compartment next to your office with a secret door. Do you think it's okay?"

"Row."

After Ren Xingyu told him that the arrangement was complete, Zhou Qin put down his work, walked to the sofa, looked at Elis who had fallen asleep long ago, and sighed.

He half-kneeled beside the sofa, and hugged Elis horizontally.

——This is not a strenuous task for an Alpha, but Elis's light weight still makes him a little worried.

Zhou Qin walked through the secret door cautiously, and put Elis on the soft couch that had been set up temporarily.He squatted on the edge of the bed, looked at Elis for a while, and helped him tidy his hair again.

"I said Your Highness..." Chen Cang's voice rang in his ears, "Really, anyone who is not blind can tell that you are interested in Lanxia. Are you really going to tell him clearly?"

Zhou Qin's hand stopped for a moment, and then said: "What are you talking about?"

"Before you said that you were afraid of scaring Lanxia away, but for so long, your actual actions have proved that your character and your promises are trustworthy and can stand the test. What about now? Now you What are you afraid of?"

Zhou Qin fell silent.

What are you afraid of?

Maybe it's the fear of losing it.

With an exact answer, maybe it's good, maybe it's not.But if the answer is no... it means loss.

He sighed: "I know I can't escape it. It's meaningless to be a coward. I'll find an appropriate time to talk to Lan Xia. How about the wedding. There must be a suitable atmosphere at that time."

"...I'm afraid that with His Royal Highness Prince Qing's ambition, will your wedding be able to proceed smoothly?"

"Don't be crowed." He said to Chen Cang, "Even if the sky falls, the wedding must be completed smoothly."

Zhou Qin glanced at Elias in his sleep again, walked out quietly, and closed the secret door, blocking his and Chen Cang's moderate bickering from the door.

Elias' eyelashes moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes and sat up - he was sleepy but easily woken up, just as Zhou Qin put him down, he woke up, and then he heard Zhou Qin's words.

at the wedding...

What should I say to him?

At the same time, it is also in the central office area of ​​the outer court, Qing Wang's office.

Zhou Muzhi turned off the anonymous forum in the outer court area on the computer screen, and commented: "There is so much time to discuss the matter of the crown prince and the princess, it seems that the workload is not saturated."

Several members present glanced at each other. If there were other people who did not want to participate in today's meeting, they would definitely be amazed at the titles of the officials present.

Huo Lixin, Minister of Education, Chen Zengqi, Minister of Finance, Beecher Eddie, Deputy Director of the Emperor Star Security Bureau, Akiyama Kairi, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Vincent Cook, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Fortress General Command...

"Lunch is hard work, everyone hastily eat." Zhou Muzhi looked at the time and said, "In fact, we are short of time. The wedding after the canonization ceremony will be attended by the emperor, all the dignitaries and relatives of the emperor. I suggest that the uprising should be scheduled for 12 At 30 o'clock. Since we have to do it, we will break it in one fell swoop. Now please speak freely."

There were less than ten people present listening to such a sensational speech, no one panicked, as if everything had been prepared long ago.

"The fortress will dispatch five star cruisers between the 10th and 14th in the name of cleaning up the asteroid corridor. More than 10000 Jinwu-type combat ships will detour towards the Emperor Star, and at 15 noon on the 12th. Arrived at the scheduled location at that time." Vincent, the deputy chief of staff of the fortress, said, "Resist the emergency increase of troops to the Emperor Star after the first military fortress received the news."

Eddie, deputy director of the Emperor Star Security Bureau, nodded: "Commander-in-Chief Shi Jichi's idea is correct. Commander-in-Chief Clark of the First Military Fortress is already old, and he is recuperating in semi-retirement at the First Fortress. On the First Military Fortress There is also a large living area for relatives and family members, and there are too many concerns, he will not send a lot of firepower to compete with the fortress."

"Mr. Eddie, what is the current situation of Dixing?" Zhou Muzhi asked him.

The deputy director of the Security Bureau smiled: "All the relevant guards have been withdrawn and replaced by our own people, including the wedding scene. In addition, 01 military NGX-800 mechs in the warehouses of each guard team, as well as a new generation of emergency research and development have been rushed out. There are 02 military NGX-100 mechas, all of which have been moved to various places in Xiting District, and will complete the control of key landmarks in Xiting District when necessary."

"Your efficiency is very high." Zhou Muzhi said, "At that time, I will drive the Blue Star Bloom to participate in the battle."

"This couldn't be better." Eddie said, "After all, in Emperor Star, there are quite a few spiritual powers above S rank, but there are really not many with your combat power. What we are worried about now is actually His Majesty the Emperor... ...Her super high spiritual power of S++ level... I am afraid that even you and Blue Star Bloom will find it difficult to compete with it."

"I'm not afraid of this." Zhou Muzhi said.

Huo Lixin picked up the topic in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, Deputy Director, please leave the emperor to the marshal. Please rest assured."

"Your Excellency Yuan, Marshal?" Eddie said pleasantly, "You mean Yang...cough that Marshal? Great, this is really good news! If he comes to resist the emperor, who will win the battle? I know. I guarantee that Xiting District will be guarded tightly, like an iron wall, and no nobleman can escape."

Zhou Muzhi lowered his eyes and played with the power ring on his finger, listening to everyone who sat down and entered into a more detailed discussion.

After a while, she said, "I have another special request. Your Excellency, Deputy Director..."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The guard of honor sent to meet the crown prince and concubine will be replaced by our people." Zhou Muzhi said, "Bring him to my mansion and keep him in custody."

The deputy director of the Security Bureau was stunned: "Your Highness is going to—"

Zhou Muzhi smiled: "When I become the emperor, there must be some concubines around me."

"Oh..." the deputy director laughed quickly and clearly, "You are right, you are right. This is simple, I will arrange it. Please don't worry."

"If this is the case." Zhou Qin took out a bottle of Crown VSP from the wine cabinet, opened it and poured a glass for everyone present, and she took the lead to take it up, "Just wish us all the best. When we meet again next time , everyone will become the most honorable person in the empire."

The important senior officials present suppressed their inner emotions and looked at each other.

"For the empire." Zhou Muzhi said.

"For the Empire."

people say.

Zhou Qin was very busy on the first day of work. After getting familiar with the corresponding work, he started a long reception time. From eleven o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, he has been receiving people from all walks of life. Qin felt that this was probably the longest day in his life to maintain a smile, so much so that his facial muscles became stiff.

His and Elise's lunches were hurriedly settled in their respective rooms.

Then Zhou Qin devoted himself to work in the afternoon.

Elise looked at him through the crack in the secret door.

He had never seen Zhou Qin in this state.

In his impression, the crown prince has no prestige and no prestige. He never gets angry when he speaks. He will sincerely apologize when he does not do well. The people below tease him just smile, really unhappy and cold It only takes half an hour for the face.

Not very good at talking, awkward, at a loss, and likes to use a little technology alone.

But now Zhou Qin, with just the right smile, appropriate wording, and talks calmly and eloquently in the face of all problems.Even if everything is completely new today, there is no panic at all.

Which is the real Zhou Qin?

Or, it's all him...

Zhou Qin's image and the thinking power of Elias slowly blended together.

"Your Highness is a very hardworking person." Chen Cang didn't know when he fell into the heart of love, and whispered to Elias.

"Your Highness will become a very wise monarch in the future." Elis did not take his eyes off it, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice.

When the pointer reaches five o'clock, it means that Zhou Qin's busy day's work has come to an end.

He checked the email for the last time, arranged follow-up matters for Ren Xingyu, stood up, straightened his suit, and opened the secret door.

Elise was sitting behind the desk, watching some details of the wedding from the inner courtyard on the projection screen.

"Your Highness." Elis looked up at him, "Are you off work?"

"Yes, today is really bad." Zhou Qin walked behind him, bent down and stared at the screen in front of him: "Is this from the inner court?"

"Yes, the color, arrangement, and this... dress selection at the wedding." Elis opened a stack of materials for Zhou Qin to see.

Zhou Qin was turning the pages seriously, and the crown prince's breath was right next to Elias' ears, making his ears itchy.The room fell silent for a while.

Zhou Qin raised his hand to make some choices among the materials, and finally saw the clothes chosen by Abel's designer. He followed the lessons from the previous fashion design and designed a set of beige formal dresses for Elise.

He remembered Abel's bitter face the last time he was criticized by him in various clothing designs, and couldn't help laughing.

Then he realized that Elis was looking at him, and he didn't know how long he had been staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Qin rubbed his chin because he didn't know, "Did I not shave clean today?"

"No." Elis moved his eyes away, "Your Highness, please take a look at the design of the ring to be used in the wedding. These are all designs sent by the famous jewelry designer LSD in Xiting District. It should be Select early and let them go to work."

Zhou Qin looked at it, and then at the name of the jewelry designer——LSD.

"Why don't we just go there directly." Zhou Qin said to Elias, "Take a look on the spot, maybe there is something you like?"

"Now?" Elis asked.

"Yeah, after shopping, how about we go to the Wangwang restaurant for dinner?" Zhou Qin asked him, "It's the famous restaurant we ate for the first time, which was built on the back of the Diwei elevator."

"I know," Elise said.

At this time, Elias seemed to be favored by the setting sun, and he was covered with a thin layer of light, making him as captivating as a god.

Zhou Qin couldn't help but put one hand on the desk and the other on the back of Elias' chair, then bowed his head and kissed his lips.

"Then shall we go? Lan Xia?" he asked.

Elise's fingertips moved on the table, Zhou Qin couldn't help but grabbed his hand, and said to him, "Think of it as a... date with me?"

At this moment, under the setting sun, Lan Xia's blue eyes were dyed with a hazy orange-red light, and even his long eyelashes seemed to be shining. There was a hidden and concealed emotion in his eyes, which made Zhou Qin couldn't see it clearly.

After a while, a long time.

No one speaks.

But Zhou Qin didn't feel that this time was very long. He looked at Elias and fell into a sweet dream willingly, even the silence made people dizzy with sweetness.

Then he saw Elis nodded slightly.

His Lan Xia replied softly: "Okay, Your Highness. Shall we start first?"
