In the quiet and empty study room, the king, whose head was hit by severe pain, bent down to pick up the string of hard star shining stones at his feet, but the two gemstone rings were scattered in nowhere.
In order to find the two rings, the man removed all the furniture in the house, and he didn't stop until the thing he was looking for lay in his palm again.
"Your Majesty." Executive Officer Lu really didn't want to come here at this juncture, but he had no choice but to come when the three cabinet members asked for an audience, "The three cabinet members want to enter the palace to ask for an audience, are you ready?"
Feng Ting couldn't be more clear about why they came here.
The king who just took back the ring wiped the dust off the gemstone with his clothes, and said endlessly, "Let's announce it."
The reason why he did so thoroughly was not to make himself give up.
"Yes..." Lu Li stepped back.
Before leaving, he could glance at the tables and chairs messed up by the king from the corner of his eye. The young executive couldn't figure out what happened here
In short, it is definitely impossible to make a move, otherwise, how could the former Queen and Empress leave the palace unscathed.
Facts have proved that the king's guess was right. The three cabinet members asked to see him in order to announce his divorce.
How should I put it, the three cabinet members did not approve of His Majesty marrying a grassroots queen who was born in a common area and was pregnant with a 'wild species' from the very beginning.
Divorce is really a universal celebration now, overjoyed, running to tell each other, referred to as Pu Daxiben.
After receiving His Majesty's reply, Pavilion Member Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Does Executive Officer Lu know the reason for His Majesty's divorce?"
This is how the announcement of the royal couple's divorce is written.
In short, the royal family must not be discredited.
Although the reputation of the royal family is true, that person doesn't care at all.
"I don't know." Lu Li shook his head, looked at Pavilion Member Yang with calculating eyes, and said hesitantly, "As far as I know, we broke up peacefully. Your Majesty didn't do anything to Mr. Bad Smell."
The meaning of maintenance is obvious.
Pavilion member Yang nodded: "You don't have to be so nervous, I don't mean to deal with the former queen."
On the contrary, Princess Kouyin, who has always been not easy to owe favors, told her several times before, asking her to take care of the young man who married into the royal family with a big belly.
Seriously speaking, if it wasn't because the other party married into the royal family, it would be impossible for Yang Pavilion member to diss someone for no reason.
The announcement of His Majesty's divorce was made at nine o'clock the next morning.
Just like the announcement of his sudden marriage in the middle of winter last year, one stone caused a thousand waves and shocked countless people.
"Just say that the flash marriage didn't end well."
"What kind of logic is upstairs? Is this the fault of a flash marriage?"
"Your Majesty can't pass the test in his heart, or is the former queen unable to integrate into the royal life?"
"Finally someone got to the point. It's obvious that the former queen can't do it right? After being a queen for half a year, she doesn't even have a speech or event! What kind of queen is this?"
"You need to show some face. Is the ex-queen pregnant? You have been married to His Majesty for several months. You let people come out with their stomachs upright?"
"Those who said that the former queen was uneducated and couldn't make it to the stage should not be too late, you are so educated, hurry up to the palace and let His Majesty choose you as queen!"
At this very moment, the person concerned, who has been hotly discussed by tens of millions of netizens, is queuing up in the hospital for a prenatal checkup...
Yes, that's right, prenatal care.
The monthly check-up, I still remember that Will was with him last month.
While waiting for the doctor's arrangement, the pregnant woman will be handed fruit for a while, and snacks for a while. The arrangements are well arranged, and it is not too comfortable to be a mentally handicapped person.
Now that I come here by myself, I can only scan the webpage with my feet.
With just one swipe, the royal family's official announcement was made, announcing that they were divorced peacefully, and that they will be separated from each other and live well.
It's quite concise, just like their marriage that only survived for half a year.
At first I thought it was quite a joke, but it turns out... it was really a joke.
And Wen Qiuxing felt that some of the netizens who criticized him were right, that his coming to be the queen of the most powerful regime in the universe was indeed an insult to the empire.
Seeing sporadic netizens speaking for him among the thousands of trolls, he was annoyed.
I can't help but want to say a few words to these people: Who do you love, why are you so idle
Fortunately, it was his turn for the prenatal checkup, so he finally didn't have to read these irritating mentally handicapped speeches anymore.
"Mr. Wen Qiuxing?" When the medical staff saw this name, they might feel a little familiar. After all, since going to work today, the entire Internet has been swiped by this name.
"Yes." Wen Qiuxing said, "I have the same name as the former queen."
The medical staff gave up looking at him. You must know that this is a civilian area. Even if the former queen was born in a civilian area, she would never come back after being gilded by the royal family.
And this pregnant woman was checked here last month.
The empire bears all the costs of pregnancy tests and medical treatment for pregnant women. The hospital is very active in making pregnancy test indicators, because it can be reimbursed to the empire and obtain higher profits than ordinary people seeing a doctor.
So Wen Qiuxing came to the obstetric examination alone, and the doctors and nurses were even more enthusiastic about him.
And I want to fight for him to give birth in their hospital when the due date is reached.
Although the youth on earth are very nervous, they also know that giving birth to a baby is a big deal, and they should choose a big hospital with a good reputation as a technician.
However, the top hospital in the civilian area is the one where he is currently undergoing prenatal checkups. If he wants a better one, he can only go to the main urban area.
This thought flashed through his mind, and when Wen Qiuxing was still unsure of paying attention, Princess Kouyin's communication request came suddenly.
Wen Qiuxing was still standing on the aisle with bright windows in the hospital, and called out, "His Royal Highness."
The look of being idle made Princess Kouyin quite a headache: "I saw that you are divorced."
"Yes." Wen Qiuxing said with a smile on his face, "Long time no see, how are you and the Earl?"
"Are you in the hospital?" Princess Kouyin was very keen.
"Ah, prenatal checkup." Wen Qiuxing rubbed his belly: "It's been six months."
Now it's as big as a watermelon.
"Where are you now?" Princess Kouyin guessed that he had left the palace.
"Civilian area." Wen Qiuxing looked around to see if there was no one around, and said, "I'm doing well now, I'll open my own shop and wait for the baby to be born."
Princess Keyin frowned seriously: "That's too dangerous, I'll send someone to take you back to the manor."
Wen Qiuxing shook his head: "No need, I can take care of myself."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and Her Royal Highness said, "In this case, I will ask Elliot to remit your dividend to you in advance."
She didn't tell Wen Qiuxing that she had forgotten that Will won him a 30% stake in the mine vein.
"Okay." Wen Qiuxing was in a daze.
"Don't go out and show your face." The princess said seriously, "You don't need it."
Wen Qiuxing understands that in the eyes of aristocrats like the princess, it is a very desolate thing to be reduced to open a shop in the market.
But he himself is just a common man.
"I know." Wen Qiuxing said with a smile on his lips, thinking in his heart, it's time for brother's snack bar to open a branch.
As for the start-up fund, it was naturally Earl Elliot's dividend.
Thinking about his son, from the eldest son of the imperial king to the little prince of Mala Tang, the gap is not even a single star.
In order not to make his son feel uneasy in the future, Boss Wen's ambitions for his career reached the peak at this moment.
Princess Kouyin was obviously disappointed that Wen Qiuxing was not able to come back to Elliot Manor for delivery, but she understood that Wen Qiuxing had just divorced and might be in a bad mood, so she did not force her.
Just reminded: "If you want to find a new partner, please consider Elliot."
Wen Qiuxing: "..."
This old aunt is really unbelievably obsessed with Lalangpei.
Now that he has "changed hands several times", if he really marries the dream lover of thousands of girls in the empire, it will cause a bloodbath on the star network again, right
And it's really bloody.
To be honest, even if he successfully divorced the king, Wen Qiuxing didn't think he was completely free from the shackles of being a queen.
In order not to harm others or himself, even if he really meets someone he likes in the past three to five years, he will not be together.
Unless it is really confirmed, the other party has nothing to do with him.
In view of the heated discussions on the Internet in the past two days, and some people trying to find the residence of the former queen after her divorce (there are a lot of frenzied people), Wen Qiuxing stayed at home for a while.
By the time the limelight passed, it was early summer, and the dividends from the mine vein had already reached Wen Qiuxing's hands, which was an astronomical sum.
"..."
Every time this happens, Wen Qiuxing can't help but think of Will.
The man who raced against time to buy property for the two of them, fearing that they would not have enough food and clothing.
Really, if a child asks about the other father in the future, he can also say to the child full of praise, your other father does not love you, he treats you super well.
It's just a pity that I couldn't be by your side.
In a snack bar with a stable business, someone resigned today. Wen Qiuxing went to clear the bill and settle the wages of the resigned employees by the way.
It's a holiday again, and the store seems overwhelmed after one less person.
Wen Qiuxing was also idle, helping to collect money while clearing the accounts at the cash register.
Before that, the cashier in the store was a shy young girl named Lida. She obeyed Wen Qiuxing's order and pasted the A4 paper with the word "recruitment" on the outer door...
This made the native aliens feel very strange. Wouldn't it be fine to post the recruitment directly on the star network
"Can someone be recruited?" Lida asked.
"Yes." Boss Wen was decisive.
The business of the snack bar is generally until half past ten in the middle of the night.
Because there are so many schools nearby, there will be a wave of traffic after nine o'clock in the evening.
But Wen Qiuxing usually didn't stay for such a long time, and usually went back almost immediately.
I came here early this morning and have been busy so far. Rao Shiwen, the boss, thinks he is as strong as a cow, and he beats his waist, which is too much to bear. Just as he was about to greet Lida to come to the cashier, a tall figure walked in from the door, dressed casually and young, The key is that the face is cold and handsome.
"Welcome." Wen Qiuxing said, looking at the snack bar to find a seat for this handsome guy.
"Apply." The other party walked to the cash register.
"??" Wen Qiuxing said, "My salary here is not high."
As for this person, he doesn't look like a waiter in terms of clothes and demeanor.
"It's okay." The man seemed to know what Wen Qiuxing was thinking: "I'm not doing it for money."
Wen Qiuxing raised his eyebrows, so he doesn't want to recruit, isn't it for money? Could it be for his ancestral secret recipe
"Oh? Then what are you doing?"
"Losing a loved one." The man said honestly, "Divert your attention."
The people on earth translated it in their hearts in a daze, and suddenly realized that they had lost their love and came out to find something to do.
Tsk, it's true for young people nowadays, losing a relationship is like the sky falling.
Wen Qiuxing thought to himself, if he wants to divorce with a big belly like him, wouldn't he jump off the building every minute
"Oh." Seeing everyone's lovelorn together, Boss Wen reminded him again: "The salary is only 5,000 credits per month, including three meals, and one day off every week. Do you think it's OK to start now?" You can sign the contract."
Gang Zhen, a tall and handsome waiter, he likes it.
"Yeah." The cool and handsome guy nodded.
"What's your name?" Wen Qiuxing asked.
"Shelley," said Shelley.
"Okay." Wen Qiuxing went online to fill out the electronic contract, and asked Shelley to send him some required information on his personal terminal.
"Come to work tomorrow." Wen Qiuxing said.
He looked curiously at this young man named Shelley, and found that Shelley had a pair of long and narrow eyes, which were always half-closed coldly, and indeed looked hurt by love.
That Shelley nodded, didn't even speak, but didn't go away either.
The look of not knowing where to go made Wen Qiuxing feel a bit of sympathy for him who came here: "Why don't you find a seat and sit down, the boss will treat you to Mala Tang."
As soon as Wen Qiuxing finished speaking, he couldn't help but regret it.
His new employee, no matter his name or appearance, looked more and more like a rich man.
Roadside snack bars like this in civilian areas may not be popular with others.
"...Thank you." Shelley, who was invited to eat for the first time, raised his eyelids and looked at the tired young man, but said nothing after all.
He sat down near the cash register, facing two bamboo chopsticks, he didn't know how to use them.
"There are forks in the kitchen." Wen Qiuxing packed up his things and was about to leave, when he saw the new employee helpless with the bamboo chopsticks, he said something.
Feeling a gust of wind passing by her side, Shelley finally opened her half-closed eyes, and turned to look at the potbellied but handsome young man.
"Well... do you need a fork?" Lida came over to ask, but was frightened by the bloodshot eyes.
Almost threw away the fork in my hand.
Because she had never seen a normal person's eyes turn red like this.
"No need." The man closed his eyes again and said coldly.
Lida felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, and immediately gave up the idea of flirting with the handsome guy: "Okay, okay."
The next morning, after a tiring day yesterday, Wen Qiuxing really didn't want to move, but there were new employees coming to work in the store, so he probably couldn't do it if he didn't make arrangements.
As a result, when I went to the store, I saw that the new employee was standing straight in front of the cashier, while Lida was doing her job as a waiter.
Yes, people arrange themselves properly.
"I'll be at the cash register." Wen Qiuxing walked over, "You follow Lida to learn how to serve food."
Shelley, who was arranged, glanced at the young man who was still asleep from the end of his eyes, from his face to his stomach, and looked at him without any trace.
Wen Qiuxing thought that this girl would not be able to control her, but she turned out to be quite obedient. Although Ren Xingxiang was clumsy, he could basically become a teacher after learning it twice.
In addition to its outstanding appearance, it is very popular among customers.
Needless to say, it really attracted a lot of business.
The disadvantage is that he is taciturn and doesn't get close to strangers in his aura. If he really came to find something to do to numb his lovelorn, even Wen Boss didn't get him much good looks and serious eyes.
There is zero communication with other employees in the store.
Only when eating is particularly active, I can eat four bowls of soup and rice.
There are several times of the day when there are fewer customers, and the clerks are allowed to take turns to take naps.
Lida leaned over to the cash register, looked at the motionless figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and finally couldn't help asking Wen Qiuxing: "Brother Wen, the new employee is so cool, do you think he has a girlfriend? "
Wen Qiuxing gave her a sideways glance: "I don't know."
Lida was disappointed: "I just talked to him in the kitchen, but he ignored me..."
Wen Qiu paused for a moment, and stroked the little girl's black ponytail out of kindness: "I heard a word of advice from brother, he is not a good person."
As soon as the words were finished, Wen Qiuxing felt a glance towards him.
When he looked over slowly, he only saw the back of Shelley's platinum-blond head.
"..." Wen Qiuxing felt terrified in his heart, as expected he couldn't speak ill of people behind his back.
Because the recruitment notice posted outside the door has not been removed, there are also people applying for the job this afternoon.
Lida, who was being questioned, wanted to say that she had recruited enough manpower, but Wen Qiuxing found out in time and asked her to bring someone over to talk to him.
Lida was confused: "Brother Wen, don't we have enough manpower now?"
Wen Qiuxing said: "The summer vacation is about to begin, and the traffic will be overwhelming."
Lida nodded, but after working for a while, she felt something was wrong. How can summer vacation be so fast? Isn't there still two full months left
But it's good to hire another person, so the boss can go back to rest.
Wen Qiuxing went to the store for three days in a row, on the fourth day after consideration, he finally decided not to go...
Because the baby in his stomach is more than seven months old, it is really dangerous.
In the store, when Wen Qiu woke up, the man with a stern expression would occupy the position of the cash register. Because the boss didn't come, he would have a headache, and it would be fine if he didn't lose his temper. It was impossible to condescend to work.
At the same time, Adjutant Morris received a report from Captain Yi Yang. Recently, Captain Yi Yang had a good relationship with him: "Your Majesty went to work in Her Majesty's snack bar again."
Morris: "It's Her Majesty the former queen."
Brother Soldier with a paralyzed face: "Her Majesty the former queen has not shown up for a long time today."
Morris: "Her Majesty is very heavy. It's normal not to show up."
The paralyzed soldier found out that the other party's address was wrong, but he didn't correct it.
A month ago, when he learned of the divorce between His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen, Morris was stunned because he knew more details than those idiots who were celebrating.
What kind of grassroots queen married into the royal family with a wild seed, that is a non-existent slander.
The child in Her Majesty's womb is 100% of the royal family.
Maurice watched some of the malicious speculations and personal attacks on the star network, but he couldn't see them later, because His Majesty ordered the network to be cleaned up.
Obviously, it is to protect the reputation of Her Majesty the Queen.
However, the news of the divorce was real, and the two really didn't meet after the divorce.
Morris thought the two would just leave it at that, but when he was feeling regretful, he received another gossip from Captain Yi Yang: the two divorced majesties met.
The adjutant of the empire couldn't figure out what was going on with the royal couple, but guessed that His Majesty the King was reluctant to part with the prince in his stomach.
Maybe he will still have to be taken back to the palace to be raised in the future, he thought wildly.
Do you want to remarry because of the birth of the child
"Brother Wen won't come today." Lida said kindly when she noticed that the new employee was looking at the door for the nth time.
"Then when will he come?" The handsome man withdrew his overly obvious gaze.
Because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was slightly hoarse.
Lida was dazed because she finally got to talk to the other party: "He... is about to give birth, maybe he won't come again before the delivery?"
I don't know if it was her illusion, but after saying this, the aura on the new employee's body suddenly froze.
In short, there is a feeling of... death.
That's right, even though he is a person with such excellent conditions, there is always an aura of despair lingering around him every second.
It seems that he is still alive in this world, just because something hangs his breath.
Just now, that breath was broken again...
Lida felt that the boss's advice was correct, she didn't even need to think about this kind of man, even if she really gave her, she couldn't bear it.
A week after Wen Qiu woke up and couldn't go to the store, he sent a message to Lida asking, "Is Shelley still working in the store?"
Lida: "Yes." She understood why Wen Qiuxing asked such a question, but he was still there: "He goes to work on time every day, and he is not lazy."
Wen Qiuxing: "..."
Wen Qiuxing fell into deep confusion. It was impossible to say that he didn't know who Shelley was.
Wen Qiuxing observed for two days, and was basically sure that so-and-so came to him only because of a headache.
Usually just sit near him, and then don't say a word to him, don't look at him.
To be honest, Wen Qiuxing wouldn't mind her ex-husband's antidote in human form if the situation allowed.
But isn't he pregnant, and he wants to be quiet during the first two months of giving birth.
Thinking of this, Wen Qiuxing took this matter to heart.
In summer in the civilian area, the sun is fierce and the weather is hot. Only air-conditioned rooms are suitable for human activities.
As the weather is getting hotter and hotter, on July 3rd, Wen Qiuxing's due date is approaching.
There have been several phone calls to the hospital, urging him to come to the hospital early.
Damn, seeing that the due date is more than half a month away, the irritable brother thinks it's impossible.
Princess Kouyin, who cared about him all the time, contacted him three times a month. One was to invite him to Elliot Manor to wait for delivery, and the other was to ask him if the child was born.
The earth youth with a big belly was very irritable, as if the whole universe was expecting him to have a baby.
This feeling of being stared at is really creepy.
In the morning, ten days before the due date, Wen Qiu woke up and counted the things he was going to take to the hospital, thinking that there should be nothing missing.
At this time, he sent Lida a message: "Is Shelley still there?"
Lida answered the boss for the third time this month: "Yes."
Wen Qiuxing didn't say anything, and directly sent a string of addresses to Shelley's communication number, and then dialed: "Shelley?"
Hearing a quiet 'hmm', the earthling said, "I'm going to the hospital to give birth, so come and help me move things."
I don't know what fell over there, anyway, the soldiers were bang bang, and after a while, Wen Qiuxing heard: "Okay."
Her Majesty the former queen, who hung up the communication, breathed a sigh of relief.
If the other party refuses to come, he will call the medical staff to pick him up.
Wait, the above doesn't seem to be the point
Then put aside the cunning of adults, and tell the truth in the world. At important moments in life, even if you don't think about yourself, you also think about your children.
As the best dad in the whole universe, Wen Qiuxing really hoped that the birth of his cub was not a carnival for him alone.
