Chapter 145 Stars lead guests (4)

After disembarking from the starship, the guests from the Glorious Dominion were picked up by the Minister of State waiting at the port. After Jiang Jianming handed over the task, he went back in the aircraft.

The aircraft turned into a small dot in the blue sky on Star City, the window was half down, Jiang Jianming took the military cap in his hand, leaned sideways against the window and looked down.

There is a commotion in Star City.

At the entrance of the street, a group of young people held up the projection board and shouted something, and many people gathered. The characters on the projection board are very large, and Jiang Jianming can read it even if it is far away. It is against the marching faction of Yin Beidou.

Beimaner stretched out his arms and lowered the window: "Don't look."

Soon the patrol officers came with electric batons and handcuffs, and twisted the young men away. Jiang Jianming then looked back, "So strict? Is the order from the emperor or the military?"

"You don't know? It's His Highness Le'an," Zheng Yue, who was flying the aircraft in front, turned his head and said, "Now people in Xingcheng are not allowed to talk about military affairs, and those who violate the ban will be thrown into jail."

"..."

Jiang Jianming was silent for a few seconds before he said lightly, "It's not like this, I'll go back and persuade him."

Beimaner and Zheng Yue looked at each other worriedly.

Both of them knew that Yin Beidou's current situation was not optimistic, and they also vaguely noticed that Colonel Jiang's eyes seemed to be a little different since he returned from the Crystal Sect's starship.

They don't want to talk too much and ask, but the omen of the coming rain has already weighed in their hearts.

"Zheng Yue."

After disembarking the aircraft in front of the White Jade Palace, Jiang Jianming suddenly said, "I remember you are a shrinking faction. Would it be uncomfortable to follow me?"

Zheng Yue was stunned for a moment. That was when the two of them went to the Jin Rilun Building for the first time last year. When Jiang Jianming mentioned it casually, he answered it casually.

He saluted and said sternly, "You saved my life."

Jiang Jianming: "You almost lost your life because of your faith. For you, your faith should be more important than your life."

Zheng Yue grinned a little embarrassedly: "Hey, beliefs also change."

Jiang Jianming also bent the corners of his lips, stretched out his hand to make a fist, and slapped Zheng Yue's heart lightly: "Don't be eloquent."

"Then go back, I'm in."

Farewell to Beimaner and Zheng Yue, Colonel Jiang walked through the palace path with golden roses blooming. The breeze brought fresh air, and the little robots flew around on a sunny day. One of the chubby and cute little guys held a stack of dresses and leaned in front of him.

The little robot beeped electronically, "Please remember to attend the banquet tonight at..."

Jiang Jianming dropped his voice and looked up at the sky. The dark and deep eyes reflected a few birds flying far away. He sighed silently, feeling a little upset.

Before he knew it, it had been a long time since the empire was attacked and the battle against Lan Xishi, and the concentration and patience that he had always been proud of had recently begun to fail.

During this period of time, the wind and the waves were calm, and he was left to the side, able to leisurely be the crown princess who was recuperating in the palace. The Emperor doesn't seem to worry at all that he will do anything out of the ordinary, such as revealing the truth about the interstellar race war to the people.

The last time we talked about this, Ryan once said that he was too forbearing and worried, which was easy for people to hold back.

"You have to learn to be more aggressive, look at me," His Royal Highness the crown prince narrowed his emerald green eyes lazily, like a proud lion, "Who dares to pinch me?"

At that time, the sunlight in the afternoon made people's bones soft. Jiang Jianming was lying in front of the table, reaching out and pinching the noble face in front of him: "I dare."

Ryan: "You don't count, that's the exception."

The spring breeze blew the same rose fragrance as that day, Jiang Jianming withdrew his eyes and thoughts.

He secretly said to himself: Wait a moment. Perhaps this visit of the glorious autonomous star leader is an opportunity for change?

...

At night, the thin clouds are beginning to disperse, and the silver moon is like a plate. It is a very refreshing spring night.

Jiang Jianming changed his dress to attend the banquet. The royal luxury car was parked in the East Hall, which was also the entrance of the largest banquet hall in the White Jade Palace.

The door was opened from the outside, and a hand reached out to help him out. Jiang Jianming was distracted and thought he was a waiter. He was taken out of the car with his palm in his hand, and his eyes were blinked when he raised his head—

The crown prince's eyes were deep, and his face was as sharp as ice. His platinum curly hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down behind his back. He was wearing a dark red dress with gold tassel chains, and a layered white silk scarf was turned over at the neckline.

"Did you get on the mecha during the day?" His Highness leaned over and asked. In the night when the lights are on, this face is like the son of the moon god descending into the world.

Jiang Jianming was forced to take another beauty crit, and immediately shook his head: "No, you can check Xuejiu's startup record."

In the banquet hall, many high-ranking dignitaries were looking at this from a distance. Further down the steps was a crowd of dark clouds. Outside the cordon set by the royal guards, the light from the cameras flickered.

Great show tonight.

Jiang Jianming remembered that his identity was different now. This kind of occasion should be open for business, at least... smile and wave or something.

But Ryan didn't care about the gazes around him, holding Jiang Jianming's hand and leading him inside.

As the two passed through a carved pillar, with the passing shadow, Ryan gave him a quick kiss.

"The other party is the messenger of the Dominion. You can show your face at the door to give them face."

His Highness said in a low voice, "Go in and find a quiet place to eat. I am here, and no one dares to say anything to you."

Jiang Jianming showed a cautious and suspicious look: "It's too much to rub rice at the state banquet, Your Highness."

Ryan: "It doesn't matter, the state banquet isn't just this one, it's just a show tonight. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the highlight. There will be fewer people and you won't be tired. You can wait until then if you are willing to come forward."

Because he was worried about his poor health, and because of his race and background, he was easily discriminated against. In short, Ryan didn't let him get involved in too many political affairs.

This time, Jiang Jianming did not refuse. However, his thinking is different from that of Ryan: if he really wants to rule the country side by side with Ryan as a queen in the future, of course, he needs to socialize with high-ranking nobles, but in fact he is a chronic crystal disorder who does not know how many years he can live. Patient, there is nothing wrong with hiding.

The state banquet was brightly lit.

After saying goodbye to His Highness, Jiang Jianming sat down on the seat and looked at the center from a distance.

The empress stood under the banquet hall lamp in a graceful black silk dress, her shawl studded with pearls. Ryan walked to her side, followed by several high-ranking ministers of the empire.

After the emperor and the crown prince whispered a few words, they saw a group of envoys coming in from the door, and the envoys saluted respectfully. Ms. Lopez bent down and kissed Lin Ge's hand.

Jiang Jianming's eyes fell on the youngest man in the messenger group. He was indeed very beautiful. He always looked at the crown prince with bright eyes. When the latter turned his eyes because of that gaze, he smiled.

The eyebrows are stretched, the lip angle is gentle and polite, and a perfect smile.

Needless to say, this must be the former Young Master Nagasawa.

The bright eyes made him sleepy, Jiang Jianming lost his appetite after a few bites, so he took a bottle of red wine and poured himself a drink in a remote corner.

He knew that according to traditional aesthetics, the existence of Young Master Yuan would best fit the template of a "perfect and disabled human being".

Delicate, soft and beautiful, gentle and amiable... Can make the disabled people admire and worship, and evoke the new human's desire to protect.

It's a pity that His Highness's memory has now been cleared.

Maybe it's the result of being bored these days, or maybe it's because of the mellow wine.

Time passed, and when Jiang Jianming returned to his senses, the long needle of the classical clock in the hall had already gone around, and the night was darker. He lazily put down the goblet and squinted at the half bottle of red wine.

Oops, seems like a bit of a craving.

Not to the point of being drunk, but no more. Jiang Jianming slowly stood up and glanced at the center. The guests of the dominion and the high-level officials of the empire had already dispersed.

Lopez is smiling and chatting with several nobles. An accident has happened to the Lance family. She needs to find a new partner for the trade between the dominion and the empire.

His Majesty the noble Emperor was engrossed in eating meat with a knife and fork. Jiang Jianming watched His Majesty eat his food, and the guilt of coming to the state banquet for a meal was instantly dissipated.

... It seems that His Highness did not fool him, tonight was really not a serious occasion.

Jiang Jianming reluctantly decided to wash his face and come back to eat some desserts.

...

"Is this...is this really possible?"

At this moment, there is a dim corner next to the bathroom in the east hall. Yuan Nagasawa's expression was delicate, and his face was full of words that could not be said: "Too...cough, I mean, too mentally handicapped."

"Young master, don't worry, you will do it!"

Following Yuan Nagasawa was a man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. At this time, he was in high spirits and said quickly in a low voice, "Don't feel vulgar. Sometimes the simpler the method, the more effective it is."

"You are now a distinguished guest of the empire, and you have an old relationship with His Royal Highness, so it is impossible for His Royal Highness Le'an to ignore you in public and private affairs."

In this dimly lit place, the man gestured and spit: "When the time comes, I will push you with a wine glass, hey, you will fall down. Since His Royal Highness Le'an is a crystalline human who has experienced battles, Not to mention the speed of reaction, I will definitely hug you, and then you will ask His Royal Highness to take you to change your clothes that have been soaked in alcohol..."

"Come on, don't say it, Larry, stop it!" Hara Nagasawa blushed annoyed, "I...I have to think about it again."

The man called Larry said with a smile: "Don't be shy, this is not a harmful thing, even if it is unsuccessful, it is not a mistake."

"Come on, let's rehearse first and try it out."

"But..." Yuan Nagasawa swallowed and said nervously, "Okay, let's play it again."

"Okay, little boy." Larry stepped back and took a few steps back. He funnyly pretended to be holding a non-existent wine glass and walked quickly in the direction of the original Nagasawa!

In the face of such an enthusiastic attendant, Yuan Nagasawa had to bite the bullet and cooperate. He half-raised his face as if he didn't know it, and was bumped on the shoulder by Larry, who was rushing in, and staggered back.

Larry exclaimed "Oops" exaggeratedly.

"Shut up, Larry! You're going to be overheard!" Yuan Nagasawa closed his eyes in dismay, thinking to himself, this is too fucking stupid

Suddenly, a cold voice pierced into this dark space.

"Who!"

"Ah!?" The original Nagasawa was shocked, twisted his ankle, and suddenly the fall turned into a real fall.

Immediately, regret rushed to his forehead, and the original young master was dying of shame and anger: It's over, the bright, beautiful, elegant, quiet, and beautiful person that he has worked so hard to maintain for 20 years is about to collapse—

Yuan Nagasawa was full of tragic hearts, resigned and fell backwards, but suddenly an arm firmly hooked his waist!

A very light aroma came, not a deliberately sprayed perfume smell, but a scent intertwined with golden roses and red wine.

The voice was still clear and faint: "What are you doing?"

Yuan Nagasawa's heart swayed fiercely, and his face turned red: "I...I..."

The light here is too poor, he slammed into the man's chest, and he could only vaguely see the visitor wearing a pure black dress, a pale chin, and pale pink lips when he opened his mouth.

This man was holding Young Master Yuan with his right hand, but his movements were very neat. Yuan Nagasawa didn't even see how he was moving. Poor Larry had already been pressed against the wall by this Excellency's other hand!

"Ow! It hurts, hurts, hurts!!" Larry cried out miserably, "Misunderstanding, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, we are the envoys of the Dominion... You are holding our former Young Master, and I am the Young Master. Larry, our escort, we were just kidding..."

"Just kidding?" The man laughed softly, his voice seemed very young.

He just pressed Larry, surrounded the original Nagasawa, and took a few steps back, so the light was a little brighter.

"Yes, I'm sorry... Your Excellency is..." Yuan Nagasawa raised his head in a panic, and his heart rate soared when he met a pair of dark and unpredictable eyes.

Half of Jiang Jianming's face was still buried in the darkness, and only the other half of his eyebrows could see the outline and half-smiley expression. He glanced down at Yuan Nagasawa, looked at Larry again, and slowly let go.

"Ah, it turned out that the guests were 'playing around'. I thought that the original young master would be a more stable type, but the childish innocence is still intact."

Jiang Jianming took care of the original Nagasawa's collar in a slow manner. Obviously, he had already guessed what farce the two were doing, "I'm so sorry.

"But from my personal point of view, I don't recommend you to provoke the crown prince. His Royal Highness Le'an has a bad temper, you can do it yourself."

"..." The original Nagasawa buried his head like a quail.

"Your Excellency, hey Your Excellency, wait a minute!"

Larry was so frightened that he sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly tore off the gold-encrusted brooch he was wearing on his chest, and shoved it into Jiang Jianming's hands regardless of the situation.

"Sorry, rude, this is all, I pushed my son to do it - oh no, we haven't done anything! This is a little apology, you must not say it..."

"..."

The Crown Princess was stunned by the bribes being stuffed by the Dominion's messenger, with a strange expression, "Cough, okay, I won't say it."

These two living treasures are so naive... he thought to himself.

Before that, the enemies he fought against were those crazy and unpredictable crystal bishops. And the people who were testing him back and forth were the black shark leader who didn't speak human words, the cold-hearted old fox Commander Chen, and his majesty the emperor who didn't know what he was thinking about every day.

Looking at the naive little tricks of the original young master and servant now, it seems that he has returned to the world from the mysterious mist. He was miraculously unable to get angry.

The original young master Xu was ashamed, blushing like a freshly steamed crab, and did not dare to look up at him.

Jiang Jianming thought it was funny, and rubbed the top of the young man's head... Then he stuffed the gold brooch back into the original Nagasawa's jacket pocket.

He can't take other people's things indiscriminately, in case His Highness is jealous, it will be difficult to coax him.

...

Soon, the original Nagasawa and Larry watched Jiang Jianming's back disappear from sight.

Larry muttered: "Strange, why do you think this person is a little familiar? ... The light is not very good, and I can't see clearly. Has the empire ever had such a young noble?"

"Larry."

Yuan Nagasawa suddenly covered his hot face in a daze.

"What's the matter, little boy?"

Larry turned his head, "Hey, don't worry, even if he wants to sue, he has no evidence."

"No, it's not... that Your Excellency just now..."

Young Master Yuan's expression was dazed: "You said, if I am in a relationship now... Pursuing a young imperial nobleman will be... easier than pursuing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?"
