His Majesty Ling Lai's wedding will be held in a week. The time was very short, and the two parties were not even given time to contact each other. This is unimaginable for ordinary people. But in the eyes of the royal family, marriage is nothing more than a straightforward exchange of interests.
As for His Majesty Ling Lai, her engagement had involved huge interests from the very beginning. Even before she selected Muto, there was a fierce negotiation with the other party's interests.
The reason is just to gain more chips.
This week, Xiao Zheng first went to the Tokyo office for a tour. The euphemistic name is guidance work, but in reality it is an idle job with nothing to do.
Later, he met with several business leaders. Discussed cooperation intentions. Of course, the so-called talk about work is basically a dream. I didn't do anything of great value.
On the wine table. Success or failure is just a matter of nodding and shaking one's head. Why do we need to talk about it all night
At least based on Xiao Zheng's current work model, as long as it doesn't involve too much money. He basically listens to the suggestions of his subordinates and then makes a quick conclusion.
This week just went by.
His Majesty Ling Lai’s wedding will also be held soon.
The location was chosen very scientifically and was held in the palace.
There were also many invited guests, including celebrities from all walks of life in Tokyo. Originally, the media hoped to have a grand live broadcast to show His Majesty the Emperor's grace. However, His Majesty Ling Lai rejected it outright.
How can something as personal as marriage be allowed to be seen by the outside world
Of course, it is unknown what His Majesty Ling Lai thinks about it in private.
In short, when Xiao Zheng showed up at the wedding. They just casually took a glass of wine and sat lazily in the corner waiting for the wedding ceremony to begin.
He vaguely felt that something big was going to happen today.
It can even be said that with the experience of Shang Yao's wedding. Xiao Zheng was not anxious at all, and he didn't believe that His Majesty Ling Lai would be captured without mercy.
That's not His Majesty Ling Lai's style.
After half the wine, there were more and more guests. The emcee also came on stage and started to liven up the atmosphere. All lights and dances are in place, accompanied by music. The rich voice of the master of ceremonies came slowly.
"Thank you all for coming to this grand wedding tonight, you know-"
The master of ceremonies was mumbling for a long time, and the groom finally appeared.
Muto was wearing the latest rush-made suit today, and he looked energetic and high-spirited. He raised his head and waved to greet the guests in the audience. Then he came to the side of the master of ceremonies.
"Groom. On behalf of the general public, I would like to ask you a question." The master of ceremonies said and handed the microphone to Muto. "Excuse me, when did you start falling in love with His Majesty Ling Lai?"
"If I say it was from birth, wouldn't it be too fake?" Muto said half-jokingly.
The host pretended to be exaggerated and said: "It seems that this is a marriage from a previous life."
After the joke, the emcee went through the pre-arranged process. Then, the highly anticipated His Majesty Ling Lai made his debut.
She wore a wedding dress and walked slowly towards the stage.
Without too many fancy performances, the couple quickly stood on the stage. Accept the scrutiny of everyone in the audience.
Xiao Zheng refilled his glass of wine and looked calmly at the two people on the stage. Inexplicably, his heart felt slightly tight. I can’t tell what it feels like.
But soon, his thoughts were interrupted by the high-pitched voice of the emcee.
Everything was normal at the wedding, and the chaos that many people feared did not happen. It was so normal that even Xiao Zheng was slightly surprised.
Could it be that His Majesty Ling Lai did not intend to do anything in this wedding
Or—she had already resigned herself to her fate
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, he still couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ling Lai Gourd.
After the wedding ceremony, which was not grand enough, the newlyweds changed their clothes and came down to toast. Xiao Zheng was sitting in the corner, drinking slowly, but his expression was slightly solemn.
The longer it is delayed, the more serious Xiao Zheng's understanding of His Majesty Ling Lai will be, the more serious things she may do.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng's mood gradually became tense as the wedding progressed.
"Boss Xiao, why are you hiding in a corner drinking a glass of wine alone?" Muto walked over slowly.
It happened that at this time, His Majesty Ling Lai was chatting with the elders of the royal family.
What a familiar picture.
What a helpless scene.
Didn't this scene also happen at Shang Yao's wedding
At this moment, some scenes actually replayed themselves.
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, but did not refuse Mu Teng's kindness. He just picked up the wine glass and said: "I don't have many friends here. What else can I do if I don't drink alone?"
"I'll accompany you." Muto smiled, but there was some frivolity in his eyes.
He didn't drink too much. The smile on his face was also very calm.
He came over without even a strong intention to show off. I just want to get to know His Majesty Ling Lai through Xiao Zheng.
Among the people Mu Teng knew, Xiao Zheng was probably the only one who knew His Majesty Ling Lai best.
Even Prince Miyamoto did not dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he understood His Majesty Ling Lai's heart.
Therefore, in Muto's eyes, Xiao Zheng is still a valuable figure.
Xiao Zheng took a sip of wine and smiled: "That couldn't be better."
After that, the two clinked glasses and took a sip. Muto continued: "Boss Xiao, did you never expect that my wedding to His Majesty would progress so quickly?"
"I really didn't expect it." Xiao Zheng nodded slightly.
The first meeting between the two took place a week ago. At that time, Xiao Zheng coldly drove Muto out of the lounge. But now, he has become the husband of His Majesty Ling Lai in a grand manner.
The rapid change of this identity is indeed beyond the limit that Xiao Zheng could imagine.
"It's not just Boss Xiao who didn't expect it. Even I didn't expect it to happen so soon." Wu Teng raised his head and glanced at His Majesty Ling Lai who was not far away. "Speaking of which, this is the fifth time I have met His Majesty Ling Lai. I don't even know what kind of person His Majesty Ling Lai is. What he likes and what he hates. Does he prefer comedy or tragedy?"
After a pause, Wu Teng smiled slightly at himself: "Make Boss Xiao laugh."
Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said, "This is probably the saddest part of political marriage."
"sad?"
Muto suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Boss Xiao, in your eyes, is our marriage really sad?"
"I don't think so!" Muto said decisively. "I love Your Majesty. There is no doubt about this! I am even willing to give my life for Your Majesty!"
"So, please, Boss Xiao, please pay more attention to your wording." Muto said slowly. "It doesn't matter if it's just me who hears it. But if someone with a heart hears it, it won't stop there."
