Five years passed in a flash, and Ji Jinrong was eighteen years old, officially an adult.
The atmosphere in the imperial capital became inexplicably tense.
Holding a cup of tea, Ji Jinrong took a sip leisurely, then flipped through the book in his hand.
Not far from him, there was a five-year-old Xiao Douding sitting there solemnly, holding a book and reading it intently.
When Ji Jinrong wants to get close to someone, no one can refuse, such as Xiaodouding in front of him.
Xiao Douding buried his head in reading for a long time, sorting out the confusion in the whole chapter, and looked at Ji Jinrong with bright eyes: "Brother, I don't know how to do this." Xiao Douding's tone was full of Expect and adore.
Ji Jinrong wasn't impatient, and moved closer slightly to solve Xiaodouding's questions. He spoke at a slow pace, like a breeze passing through the ears, making people feel comfortable all over.
Xiao Douding's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Brother is really amazing!"
Ji Jinrong swept Xiaodouding's head and asked him to go to Ivan Morse for basic training.
Xiaodouding ran away excitedly on his short legs.
Ji Jinrong smiled slightly.
Since he intends to leave the empire to this younger brother, he will naturally not let the child fall into the hands of the Melville family. In fact not even Gabby Melville had much chance to see the boy, because the boy had moved to live with him as long as he could remember, and only went to say hello to the queen every day.
As for why the Queen agreed to such a thing
Naturally, it was because the child had encountered several dangers on her side, and she was always frightened. In the end, the doctor judged that she was too nervous and not normal, so she was not suitable for bringing a child.
For the sake of the youngest son who was just born every two years, the queen didn't even trust the Melville family.
In the end, she finally saw the situation clearly and sent her youngest son to Ji Jinrong's side.
Ji Jinrong never bothered to sow discord.
Some things have to be done, and naturally they have to be done thoroughly.
The queen only has the Alpha child in her heart, and whoever wants to hurt this child makes her more angry than wanting her life!
The Melville family was fortunate to be the first to touch this inverse scale.
Ji Jinrong didn't do anything, but ordered someone to let the queen see the side of Gabby Melville who had no feelings for her youngest son on purpose.
The queen, who had been tense since the birth of her son, immediately disqualified Gabby Melville from entering and exiting the queen.
Without the backing of the queen, the Melville family is just a corrupt noble family.
Over the years, Ji Jinrong has dealt with this kind of family most often—it can make him a lot of money every time, so he really likes them.
Ji Jinrong read the book for a while, guessing that the queen should come to see Xiao Douding, so he asked someone to prepare a meal, and went to invite Xiao Douding to accompany the queen to have a meal.
He, of course, went to lunch with Dr. Lance.
The queen came over early, and asked unexpectedly after sitting down: "Where is your Highness?"
The servant who was waiting at the side was taken aback, and replied honestly: "At this time, His Highness is usually going to meet Dr. Lance." By the way, he had a meal there.
The queen frowned when she heard the word "Doctor Lance".
She faintly regretted that Ji Jinrong was brought up by Dr. Lance, so now Ji Jinrong has no affection for her!
Queens are not stupid.
Just as Haydn thought, the queen is the one who knows the situation best among the noble ladies. She met the talented wife of the marshal early on, became friends with the wife of the marshal, and then established a good relationship with the marshal's family.
For this reason, she has the best chance of becoming empress in the empire.
Since the child was born smoothly, the queen has gradually come out of that extreme state.
The queen finally realized that her eldest son was very good, and this eldest son was just a Beta, with a lifespan only half of theirs. God, clear the obstacles for the youngest son.
Anyway, it is impossible for the eldest son to leave Alpha or Omega offspring, and the throne can only be given to the youngest son Andy after all!
As soon as the queen thought about it, she became distant from her mother's family, and Gabby Melville's family, who knew the secret of the eldest son, was directly blocked by her from outside the palace.
Regarding Ji Jinrong's actions against the Melville family, she always turned a blind eye to it, and even intervened in it to push Gabby Melville's family.
Gabby Melville was directly judged to be mentally abnormal because of some nonsense, and was sent to the best and most strictly guarded nursing home in the empire.
What the empress wants to do most now is to restore the relationship with Ji Jinrong.
The queen soon saw her youngest son Andy.
Andy had just finished exercising, and his vest was soaked with sweat, but he looked energetic. Seeing the queen, he politely and respectfully shouted: "Mother queen!"
The queen looked at Andy, who was well-bred, and felt uneasy for some reason.
Andy's life here is a thousand times and ten thousand times better than she imagined. Andy is also taught to be polite, and like his brother, he is a well-bred little gentleman.
However, the admiration for her in Andy's eyes gradually diminished. Respect is respectful enough, but intimacy is a little less, not as close as other mothers and children.
The queen smiled and stretched out her hand: "Come here, let the queen mother give you a good hug."
Andy said: "No, I smell sweat all over my body. It smells bad. The queen mother will feel uncomfortable if she smells it." He said to the queen, "I'll take a shower and change clothes before I come to eat with the queen mother!"
After finishing speaking, Andy ran up the stairs.
The queen's hand was fixed in the air, a little stiff.
She couldn't help wondering if Ji Jinrong had instigated this.
Is Ji Jinrong taking revenge on her
The queen frowned.
When Andy came down, he was already refreshed.
The queen asked, "Does your brother always eat at Dr. Lance's?"
Andy said: "Yes! Usually you don't come here, and I went to Uncle Lance's place with my brother!" He looked up at the queen carefully, and found that the queen seemed to be thinking about something, so he couldn't help adding, " Uncle Lance is very good, and the dishes he cooks are delicious, my brother and I both like it."
The queen smiled and said, "Is that so? Can the queen mother go and taste it together?"
Although Andy is young, he does things in an orderly manner. He said solemnly: "I have to ask Uncle Lance about this first. Uncle Lance agrees. After all, Uncle Lance cooks."
The smile on the queen's face froze. She could only say: "Then you can ask your Uncle Lance for me."
Andy immediately agreed: "No problem, leave it to me!"
The queen raised her hand and pushed a plate of meat in front of Andy: "Did you go to exercise just now? Eat more."
Andy looked at the piece of meat that the queen pushed in front of him, paused his hands slightly, and said, "Thank you, queen, you should eat more."
He took a bite of the rice, but didn't touch the dish.
The queen didn't notice this either, and continued to ask Andy something else.
Andy had already been told by Ji Jinrong not to mention the name of Ivan Morse to the queen. He answered the queen's interrogation seriously, and somehow felt that these countless conversations on weekdays made him a little sad.
Probably because the queen didn't even know he couldn't eat beef.
Andy tried to answer the Queen's questions as usual.
On the surface, everything was the same as before, but both mother and son somehow felt that there was something between them, and suddenly they were a little more unfamiliar and cold.
The queen sent Andy to take a nap, and went back to her residence with the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
Andy lay on the bed, turning over and turning around, unable to fall asleep.
He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling very bad about himself. How could he begin to doubt his mother's concern for him just because his mother gave him a plate of beef
I heard that the queen mother has been extremely nervous about him since he was born, and was frightened by his accidents and fell ill several times. How could she not care about herself
Andy gradually became sleepy, muttered: "Impossible..." and then fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, a young man stepped into the palace gate. He is only eighteen years old, but his facial features look a little different from those of his peers. Not long after entering the palace, someone came out from the side and reported to him: "At lunch today, the Queen pushed the beef in front of His Highness Andy, and His Highness Andy is a bit abnormal."
There was a bit of coldness between the young man's brows, and he praised: "Well done."
The boy was none other than Haydn who had turned eighteen.
Haydn was far taller than a Beta of the same age—even taller than an adult Alpha, no matter what he looked like, he didn't look like a Beta!
Thinking of His Royal Highness Andy who was raised by Ji Jinrong's side, Haydn's face darkened slightly.
Because of his young age, that guy would pester him to sleep with Ji Jinrong from time to time, which was really an eyesore.
Haydn didn't mind making him sad.
Since Ji Jinrong chose to raise this younger brother himself, Haydn would never allow this little Douding to have a chance to stab Ji Jinrong in the chest.
This little Douding must be made to see clearly who is the one who really treats him well!
Haydn waved his hand, let the people back down, and went straight to the direction where Dr. Lance was.
As expected, Ji Jinrong was having lunch with Dr. Lance.
Haydn didn't hide his whereabouts, and walked over carelessly.
Seeing Haydn's arrival, Ji Jinrong was slightly surprised: "You're back?"
Haydn stared at Ji Jinrong's facial features that were gradually fading away from childishness, resisted the urge to lean over and kiss him, hid the desire surging in his eyes, nodded and said, "I just came back."
Ji Jinrong said: "Sit down and eat together." He asked someone to add another meal for Haydn.
Haydn was not polite, and sat directly next to Ji Jinrong, and said hello to Dr. Lance, "Uncle Lance."
Dr. Lance said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Haydn, you seem to have grown up a lot."
If it wasn't for the fact that Haydn didn't smell of Alpha pheromone, Dr. Lance would have thought that the doctor at the Marshal's wife's side had made a mistake in the test, and Haydn was actually a powerful Alpha!
However, thinking of Haydn's great achievements over the past few years, Dr. Lance felt that it didn't matter whether Haydn was Alpha or not.
The most important thing is that Haydn is very strong.
This kind of toughness is beyond the reach of ordinary Alphas—even S-level Alphas!
For example, Norman Simon, now he has lost the battle.
Now Norman Simon is in the dark, Haydn Clement is in the light, and together they beat the surrounding interstellar pirates to the ground!
Because Haydn was an "Omega", he was initially not popular with the army, and many people protested against it.
Haydn responded by beating them all down.
For this kind of violent "Omega", everyone had no choice but to silently mourn for Ji Jinrong - after all, he will be tied to Haydn for the rest of his life!
Thinking of this, Dr. Lance couldn't help looking at Haydn with a bit of worry.
Ji Jinrong couldn't see clearly in the game, but he could see clearly: Haydn definitely didn't have feelings for Ji Jinrong.
On the contrary, Dr. Lance felt that Haydn was eager to take over the former Marshal's department these few years, and it was very likely that he wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to trap Ji Jinrong!
Dr. Lance didn't know whether he should mention this guess to Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong's attitude towards Haydn was very strange. Even though they were born on the same day, Ji Jinrong always treated Haydn as a "child".
Thinking of the "sweetheart" that Ji Jinrong mentioned, Dr. Lance was even more worried.
Dr. Lance had a premonition that if Ji Jinrong really found someone else, Haydn would definitely not let him go.
It will be difficult until then.
Dr. Lance frowned.
Haydn had a panoramic view of Dr. Lance's expression. He said calmly: "That's natural. The battlefield is the best training ground. Anyone can grow a lot in a few months."
Hearing what Haydn said, Ji Jinrong couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He said, "Then you rest for a while."
Haydn said: "Of course." He looked at Ji Jinrong, "You should succeed next, how could I go to the battlefield at this time."
Ji Jinrong frowned.
Haydn didn't continue this topic, but boasted: "Uncle Lance's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Dr. Lance said helplessly: "Who told us to have a picky Highness."
Ji Jinrong: "... _(:з"∠)_"
At the end of the meal, Dr. Lance chased people away: "Haydn just came back, you go and have a good chat."
Ji Jinrong and Haydn got up and walked out.
Along the way, Ji Jinrong asked about Haydn's fight against interstellar pirates this time.
After carefully answering Ji Jinrong's question, Haydn waited for Ji Jinrong to ask no more questions before saying, "It's my turn to ask you something."
Ji Jinrong frowned.
Haydn stared at Ji Jinrong: "When is Your Highness going to take the throne?" He took a small step closer, "Why don't we resolve our engagement when Your Highness takes the throne?"
Ji Jinrong's heart skipped a beat. He said, "You mean we're breaking off the engagement?"
Hearing Ji Jinrong's words, Haydn found himself surprisingly calm. He spent five years convincing himself to accept this fact, five years to strengthen himself, and empower himself to change this fact—
Haydn stopped and grabbed Ji Jinrong's wrist. With brute force, he easily brought Ji Jinrong into his arms.
When Ji Jinrong was stunned, Haydn stretched out his hand to hold the back of Ji Jinrong's head, forcing Ji Jinrong to raise his head slightly, to welcome his stormy kiss.
Ji Jinrong only felt an unspeakable trembling spread throughout his limbs.
too strong! Haydn is too strong!
He couldn't even push it away, he could only obediently let Haydn do whatever he wanted!
Ji Jinrong was shocked and angry at the same time.
It never occurred to him that Haydn would do this—
Haydn clasped Ji Jinrong's waist tightly, making Ji Jinrong unable to move.
He kissed Ji Jinrong's tender lips fiercely, as if he wanted to tear Ji Jinrong into his stomach. It wasn't until Ji Jinrong bit his lips hard that he restrained himself a little, but still licked and kissed Ji Jinrong's mouth maliciously, as if he wanted Ji Jinrong to taste his blood.
Ji Jinrong managed to break free from Haydn's arms.
There was a rare anger on his face: "What are you doing!"
Haydn regained his composure: "I'm kissing you," touching Ji Jinrong's angry eyes, "—or rather, kissing you forcefully."
Ji Jinrong: "..."
Haydn said: "Since we were born, we have been a couple in everyone's eyes. Your Highness, I can't promise to break off the engagement with you." He put his arms around Ji Jinrong's waist again, "Everything I have done these years, It’s all about being able to stand by your side.”
Ji Jinrong fell silent. He should have made it clear to Haydn earlier, but there was nothing wrong with Haydn in the past few years, and he never had too intimate behavior with him, so he only thought about declaring Haydn's Beta status when he was an adult—as long as Haydn didn't Omega glands appear, and there is no estrus, and such precedents are not unheard of.
At that time, they can dissolve the engagement logically.
He thought it was a matter of tacit understanding between himself and Haydn.
Ji Jinrong took a deep breath and said, "I thought we had reached a consensus long ago, I don't like you, and you don't like me—"
Haydn interrupted Ji Jinrong: "The royal marriage doesn't care about whether you like it or not?" He stared at Ji Jinrong, "You are the eldest son of the emperor, and your marriage is destined to attract everyone's attention—if you want to break our engagement, I'm afraid there will be troubles. Small waves, right?"
Ji Jinrong's face sank like water: "Are you threatening me?"
Haydn said: "No, I didn't threaten you, I just fought for the rights I should have. I am your fiancé, and I have the right to ask you to fulfill our marriage contract—" He tightly trapped Ji Jinrong in his arms, Kissing Ji Jinrong's pretty ears, "Also, who said I don't like you?"
Ji Jinrong was stunned.
Haydn said: "I like you like crazy. Before my body developed, I thought of you all in my heart; after my body gradually developed, every time I 'dream'dream about you—some things although we I haven’t actually done it in a while, but I’ve imagined it countless times.”
Ji Jinrong was stiff all over.
Haydn was licking his ear.
Noticing that Ji Jinrong's body was tense, Haydn said: "Your Highness, you belong to me—whether it is your soul or your body, they all belong to me. Even if you have others in your heart, I will completely expel them." !"
Ji Jinrong had never been so angry. His teeth trembled slightly: "Let go, let me go!"
Haydn said: "Your Highness, are you afraid?" He let go of Ji Jinrong, "I will not force you to do anything until we are officially married—but after we are married, I will demand to exercise all my rights. In Before that, Your Highness better forget about your 'sweetheart' as soon as possible."
Ji Jinrong was a little surprised when he heard it.
Sweetheart
Haydn said, his sweetheart
Ji Jinrong clenched his fists: "When did you know?"
Hearing Ji Jinrong's words, Haydn felt his blood rushing upwards.
He had already heard about this matter a long time ago, and hearing Ji Jinrong say it face to face, Haydn still felt as if his heart had been ripped out.
However, he still can't hate this person, and even wished to hold his dug out heart in front of him.
Haydn said: "Five years ago," he seemed to have returned to that day five years ago. The moment he heard Ji Jinrong's words, the whole world became gray. Haydn looked at Ji Jinrong, "I heard it five years ago."
Hearing that Ji Jinrong is leaving, hearing that Ji Jinrong likes someone else.
Hearing that Ji Jinrong didn't like him, and hearing that Ji Jinrong wanted to break off the engagement with him.
Haydn said: "In the past five years, I have been paying attention to who is the first to steal His Highness's heart. But I found that everyone seems to be possible, and it seems impossible," he clenched his fists, "I can't let go, Your Highness, I will never let go. This is what you taught me, Your Highness, and you should go all out for what you want."
Ji Jinrong took a deep breath: "People and 'things' are different."
Haydn said: "Unless you tell me who your 'love' is—unless you let me meet him—unless you convince me, I will never break off the engagement with you!"
Ji Jinrong was dumbfounded.
How should he tell Haydn what he and Wei Tingjun have experienced
Facing Haidun's provocative gaze, Ji Jinrong said, "Wait for me to succeed."
In Ji Jinrong's plan, succession is an essential part, because he and Wei Tingjun will always be "kings of subjugation" and "rebellious officials and thieves".
Ji Jinrong planned to follow the example of the previous world to weaken the role of the royal family after succeeding to the throne, and instead use a team he trained to govern the empire. As far as the royal family is concerned, as long as they live their lives well, living as a "symbol of the empire" is almost enough.
When he succeeds to the throne, Wei Tingjun should come to find him—by then, he will just retire, leave the work to others, and take Dr. Lance and the others to the star field outside to have fun.
Ji Jinrong said: "When I succeed to the throne, I will let you see him."
Haydn said, "Okay."
As long as Ji Jinrong is willing to succeed to the throne, it will be fine.
Ji Jinrong's birthday is only one month away, and the officials are already actively preparing for the succession ceremony. Ji Jinrong will officially ascend the throne on his birthday.
After succeeding to the throne, it will only be more difficult for Ji Jinrong to get rid of him!
As for meeting Ji Jinrong's "sweetheart"
Sorry, he just wants to kill that guy!
The author has something to say:
Haydn: I'm going to kill him! Definitely kill him!
Your Majesty: ... as long as you are happy_(:з」∠)_
