The Victory Day of the Imperial Union is the biggest celebration day of the year in the Empire, except for the New Year.
In the center of the capital's Star Empire Square, the palace sent a starship and set up an observation deck. The first row was occupied by the throne, and the two rows behind it were filled with chairs in the order of the Senate and military leaders sitting on both sides, and the row behind them was occupied by senior scientific researchers.
The prince's seat was supposed to be placed in the same row as the emperor's, but in previous years Chu Xinglin would always find excuses to miss the celebration, so Powell didn't know how to arrange the chair this year.
After all, the prince will come this year to confer the title, he will definitely come.
But the prince certainly didn't want to sit in the same row with the emperor.
It is actually reasonable to let the prince sit with the military personnel, after all, Marshal Gu is the prince's grandfather, but the Senate must be uncomfortable with such an arrangement.
After all, doesn't it clearly show that the prince values the military more and the Senate less
Although this is true, it also needs to be justified on the surface, so it cannot be presented like this.
After so many years of dealing with the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor, Powell has gained some experience on how to make both of them happy.
The old butler thought about it, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He gave instructions to the starship's artificial intelligence.
"How about this, put them in a row here, with the prince's seat slightly further back, as close as possible to General Gu Huan in the second row. Hmm, just close enough that they can communicate by turning their heads..." As soon as he finished speaking, the artificial intelligence sent a small robot to put the chairs in place. He looked at the chairs that were placed in front of him according to his wishes, and the old butler nodded, "Yes, this is just right."
Your Highness came to the celebration to confer a title on General Gu Huan.
Your Highness will certainly be happy to sit next to Admiral Gu Huan.
His Highness did not sit in the second row, but still sat in the same row with him. His Majesty should be happy too.
The old butler smiled faintly and left the observation deck with satisfaction.
After dawn.
Military cars drove into the square one after another. Gu Huan, who happened to be discussing matters with the old marshal in the Marshal's Mansion of Capital Star, appeared in a car with the old marshal Gu. After getting out of the car, he followed the old marshal Gu half a step behind him.
The military uniform he wore was the most formal of all. All the medals he had won in previous battles were worn on his chest. The metal medals were polished to a bright shine, gleaming on his chest, contrasting with the gold in his eyes.
Many high-ranking military officials smiled kindly at Gu Huan when they saw him.
Originally, there had been rumors in the military that Gu Huan had risen to power by virtue of his connections with the old marshal, and they were not very optimistic about him.
However, in these reinforcement operations, Gu Huan has proved his strength. They had misjudged him before. Putting aside his identity as the old marshal's student and adopted son, Gu Huan is still a very capable general and worthy of their respect.
He is still so young and has a promising future. And I heard that he doesn’t have a partner yet
A group of middle-aged and elderly people were eager to try, wondering if there was an omega of marriageable age in their family who could match him and introduce him to him at the state banquet tonight.
How could Marshal Gu not know what these people are thinking
"Xiao Huan, please don't stay away from me tonight."
The admiral turned his head slightly, not knowing why the old marshal suddenly said that.
Looking at Gu Huan's eyes that seemed cold but actually somewhat confused, Gu Zehai shook his head slightly.
"I'm worried that you'll be eaten alive."
At the evening banquet, high-level people from all walks of life would bring their relatives. When this group of people gathered together, drinking and chatting, they would inevitably talk about family matters. It just so happened that their family backgrounds were similar, so it became a good place for their children to arrange blind dates.
Of course he had to worry about Gu Huan.
Gu Huan is now one of the few young talents in the entire galaxy. How could he not be surrounded by everyone when he appeared at that kind of banquet
He had worked so hard to grow these good cabbages, he didn't want them to be taken away so easily, he was a little reluctant. Oh. General Gu felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
Gu Huan frowned slightly.
The original owner had attended such banquets before. But he was not a noble after all, and these upper-class people were quite concerned about this matter.
Now they don't care
They really didn't care, because Gu Huan's current excellence was enough for them to ignore this tinted glasses and try their best to have a relationship with him.
"Yes, teacher."
Gu Huan responded calmly.
I followed Marshal Gu to the observation deck and walked all the way to the arranged position.
He sat next to Marshal Gu, and was surrounded by generals.
There are three admirals in the empire. Among them, Gu Huan has the least experience and he should not have sat in such a middle position. However, because today is also his individual awarding ceremony, he was arranged here.
After the two generals saluted the marshal, Gu Huan saluted the two generals.
"Admiral Fan Peiqiang, Admiral Ye Chong."
"Hello, General Gu Huan."
"Admiral Gu Huan."
Seeing the young admiral in front of them passing by, the two admirals had their own thoughts.
Compared to the old marshal, they were not that old, but when they saw Gu Huan appear, the admirals who were still in their prime couldn't help but sigh that the young were really formidable.
"Hey." Not long after Fan Peiqiang sat down, he leaned towards Ye Chong and talked secretly.
"I heard before that the Empire has a new general, and he is very young, but I don't have any real sense of it."
"After seeing it today, we finally felt the feeling of being beaten to death on the beach by the back wave. Don't you agree, Ye Sui?"
Fan Peiqiang asked with a smile the general who had been his colleague for a long time.
Ye Sui looked at Gu Huan with complicated eyes and did not reply to him. After he sat down on the chair, he was still looking at Gu Huan imperceptibly.
"What's wrong, Old Ye? Are you jealous of the younger generation?"
When Fan Peiqiang saw Ye Chong looking at Gu Huan, he couldn't help but ask.
Ye Sui shook his head and looked away.
Amid the uniform gazes of the armored guards, a man in a gorgeous gold and white tuxedo slowly walked over. He was wearing precious gems and a cloak with golden tassels draped over his side. His golden hair sparkled in the morning sun, like unpolished gold and stone, shining brightly.
Behind him were two rows of special guards.
Those who were already seated in the military and the Senate stood up one after another.
Everyone except the old marshal knelt down on one knee in his direction.
"Your Highness."
Chu Xinglin found the person he wanted to see from the row of people, his eyes flashed as if reflected in light, and he spoke.
"No need to be so polite."
Walked over.
Gu Huan's eyes reflected that pure golden color.
The tall and huge figure of the other party walked up to him and suddenly stopped.
Gu Huan lowered his head slightly, as if trying to hide himself.
Seeing Gu Huan deliberately avoiding him, Chu Xinglin glanced at the seat not far in front of him.
"Am I sitting here?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
He tilted his head and looked at Gu Huan who suddenly lowered his head and frowned to avoid suspicion. He found it interesting. He was very satisfied with the position arrangement today.
Powell is really a qualified palace steward, Chu Xinglin thought.
Sitting in his seat, the alpha crossed his legs and his cloak fell to his sides. The expensive material fell in an orderly manner, and Gu Huan could even see his golden tassels.
Gu Huan let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Chu Xinglin just walked over and didn't do anything special.
Maybe it’s because I’ve lived with Chu Xinglin for a long time.
He always felt that if Chu Xinglin came over, he would touch him.
Fortunately, Chu Xinglin remembered that this happened in public.
Gu Huan sat down with Chu Xinglin, his black hair hanging down on his shoulders and his eyes lowered with a cold expression.
The flying camera recorded Gu Huan and Chu Xinglin sitting next to each other.
People online who were unable to go to the square to watch the military parade immediately started talking about this scene when they saw it.
[Did His Highness arrange this position on purpose?]
[No way, didn’t Your Highness just ask who arranged this position? Your Highness must not know.]
[The general and the prince really have a very good relationship!!! When His Highness came in just now, he only looked at General Gu Huan]
[If they weren’t both alphas, I would have started fighting orz]
[They are such a good match!!]
Gu Huan didn't know that they had been so restrained. Apart from exchanging a few words when they came, they hadn't spoken to each other, but they were still being hotly discussed on the Internet.
After waiting for a while, the emperor also entered the scene.
The steps of welcoming the prince were repeated in a more grand manner, and Chu Shengyun announced the official start of the Victory Day celebrations.
Everyone was celebrating, but after Chu Shengyun appeared, Chu Xinglin's expression turned cold. He turned his head away and no longer looked at Chu Shengyun.
Seeing that Chu Xinglin's seat was next to him, Chu Shengyun was indeed very satisfied.
He had always wanted to reconcile with Chu Xinglin. The scenes in the palace were usually too serious and not suitable for conversation. Only in scenes like a grand ceremony could they have a good conversation as father and son.
He wanted to talk to Chu Xinglin.
But Chu Xinglin had no intention of talking to him at all.
After the ceremony began, no matter what he said, Chu Xinglin's answer was always "yes."
"good."
"Um."
He was a little disappointed. It would have been fine if there was no contrast like before, but the problem was that the contrast was a bit too strong.
He was so cold when chatting with him, but every time he turned around to chat with Gu Huan, he looked very happy. Chu Shengyun shook his head.
The military parade below just happened to reach Gu Huan’s army.
Seeing the red-haired female general passing by, Chu Xinglin wanted to stand up and applaud the legion of Gu Huan Military District.
Chu Shengyun also praised Gu Huan's army.
"I remember her. This general performed very well in the fight against the Zerg."
Chu Xinglin nodded, put down his hands that were clapping, and calmed down.
Chu Shengyun felt upset and waited for a while.
Seeing his son constantly trying to please the cold butt, Gu Huan just responded with "hmm" and "hmm".
Chu Shengyun's eyes flashed, and he called over Butler Powell to catch the head.
"Do you think their relationship is a little too good, Powell?"
