After Yu Xinlan and the two went out, Duan Hengye originally wanted to follow the original procedure to exit the hovercraft. But before he could take a step forward, Meng Jinhuai, who was standing beside him, gently pulled Duan Hengye's hand, and then motioned him to look to the side of the suspension.
The side of the levitator was made of one-sided transparent material. After Duan Hengye turned around, he saw another levitator next to him. "This is..." Before he could finish his question, he realized that the people in the other hoverboard were the Emperor and Empress of the Ye Tian Empire.
Meng Jinhuai nodded at Duan Hengye, and then said softly, "Don't worry."
Just as the two were talking, the door of the other levitator opened, and under the gaze of the media, a woman in a bright red dress stepped out of the levitator first.
This is the Queen of Ye Tian Empire. Before that, Duan Hengye had only seen her once, and that was when he crossed over. At that royal banquet, after seeing herself pouring the wine off the head of the hostess, the woman stood in the center of the hall and applauded excitedly. Every time she recalled it, she would call Duan Hengye goosebumps all over her body. pimple.
If Zhuo Yan is a gloomy poisonous snake, then her queen is a poisonous scorpion with a needle sticking upright all the time.
The style of this red dress is very exaggerated. After she stepped out of the suspension for several meters, the trailing tail was still in the suspension. In addition, this dress is also covered with gems, which is shining brightly in the sun at this time.
After the queen's skirt was completely pulled out, Zhuo Yan walked out of the suspension slowly. Although his clothes are equally complicated, it is not so exaggerated under the background of the people around him.
Duan Hengye wanted to ask Meng Jinhuai if they should go out now. But before Duan Hengye could speak, he saw the woman standing outside the levitator pause for a moment, and then glanced at Duan Hengye from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai finally took Duan Hengye's hand and walked out of the hovercraft. After seeing the woman who was still standing there motionless, Duan Hengye also understood what she meant by coming early.
Duan Hengye's memory told himself that as the original owner of Ye Tian Empire Mecha Research Institute, he only used a symbolic salute in front of the emperor. However, according to the traditional etiquette of the royal family, the original owner, as someone who was adopted and sponsored by the queen's family, had to give her a big gift every time she saw the queen, according to the tradition of the Yetian Empire.
Although this banquet has invited many Star Network media, it is still open for shooting according to the time period. After the guests entered the banquet hall, the scene was a bit chaotic, so the shooting of the infield would not open again after more than ten minutes. In this way, the media will surely miss the scene where Duan Hengye salutes the queen...
It turned out to be waiting here.
Although the royal family still doesn't know that Duan Hengye has spoken to Meng Jinhuai, in their eyes, he is still an unqualified undercover agent who has clearly shown "rebelliousness". Before coming, Duan Hengye thought that his trip would never be easy, but he did not expect that the queen was so naive that she set a level for herself here.
The cultural setting of "Dumping the Stars" is generally biased towards China, but in some details, the author still refers to the settings of many other countries. For example, the queen now wears a black sash on her chest, and every time the original owner sees each other, the etiquette is a very solemn kneeling and a half-kneeling kiss.
...To be honest, Duan Hengye has not yet kneeled half-knelt for someone so big.
Although the Duan family is an ancient martial arts family, the family has not paid as much attention to "virtuous rituals" as before. Even when it was the New Year's Eve money when he was a child, Duan Hengye would at most just bow. Duan Hengye was not accustomed to kissing hands, and now asking him to kneel and kneel in front of so many people in Interstellar is obviously a very embarrassing thing.
Perhaps the queen chose to appear early just to remind Duan Hengye that he was still an undercover agent of the royal family. But after seeing what the other party meant, Duan Hengye was extremely conflicted in his heart.
…
Duan Hengye pursed his lips tightly when he stepped out of the levitator. Because of his bad mood, his aura almost surpassed that of Meng Jinhuai in military uniform. He didn't know how amazing his current appearance was. It really fit perfectly with the character of Professor Duan of Gao Lingzhihua in people's imagination.
After seeing Duan Hengye, the queen raised her chin and smiled at him, then slowly extended her hand forward. Duan Hengye really wanted to walk directly into the banquet hall now, but rationally told himself: Such behavior is too naive. After a little hesitation, Duan Hengye finally turned around slowly and walked towards where Zhuo Yan and the queen were.
The filming device of the interstellar era was miniature and silent, but after seeing the reporter's swollen eyes, he couldn't hide his excitement, Duan Hengye's ears even had the illusion of constant shutter sound.
He walked to the queen's side, ready to salute him as he remembered. But at this moment, Meng Jinhuai, who was still holding Duan Hengye's hand, suddenly pulled him tight.
Meng Jinhuai's movements were a bit sudden, and Duan Hengye's hand even hurt a little from being pulled. He couldn't help but cast his doubtful eyes at him. He didn't expect that the Marshal did not respond to Duan Hengye's eyes this time. On the contrary, , Meng Jinhuai walked straight up and stood side by side with Duan Hengye.
Meng Jinhuai nodded lightly at the queen, then smiled and said to the woman in red, "Your Highness, now A-Heng belongs to Nan Zhuxing, not Gui Yuxing."
Gui Yuxing is the seat of the Queen's family. After Meng Jinhuai said these words, all the reporters around were stunned.
In the interstellar era with a large population, in order to facilitate information statistics and facilitate people's life in the interstellar space, everyone has their own star in their identity information.
When the original owner was young, the attribution star on his identity information was his parents' hometown. After the experiment accident happened and was adopted by the royal family, Duan Hengye's identity information was moved to the Queen's family, which is what Meng Jinhuai just said "Gui Yuxing".
Because the planet where the institute is located is not of sufficient rank, and because it is not considered a common habitable planet, Duan Hengye's identity information is still on Guiyu Xing after adulthood. After getting married... I moved to Nanzhuxing.
This is a bit like the "transfer of accounts" in the age of the earth, but the overall process is faster and more convenient. If Meng Jinhuai hadn't said it just now, Duan Hengye would have really forgotten that he was also a "Nan Zhuxingren".
Meng Jinhuai's words were to remind the queen that in a certain way, Duan Hengye had now left the queen's family.
In fact, what he said was correct. After getting married and transferring his identity information to Nanzhu, Duan Hengye had no relationship with that noble family, and there was no longer any need to follow each other's etiquette.
After Meng Jinhuai's words were spoken, the queen's smile also froze on her face. After a while, she slowly retracted her hand, then smiled very stiffly and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. It turns out that Heng Ye is already a Marshal..."
What are you talking about... Duan Hengye was disgusted by her yin and yang tone. But because of Meng Jinhuai's words to clear the siege just now, Duan Hengye finally bowed to the two of them in an honest and open manner according to his current status as the director of the research institute.
This is how a "good show" ends.
After Meng Jinhuai took Duan Hengye's hand and entered the hall first, looking at the material just shot in his brain, the media finally realized what kind of secret competition they had just filmed.
At the same time, Meng Jinhuai's sentence "A-Heng is now from Nan Zhuxing, not from Gui Yuxing." kept reverberating in their minds...
The door of the banquet hall was open, and the guests who had already entered the hall also noticed what happened outside. Originally, for these interstellar celebrities, coming to the capital star of Ye Tian Empire to attend a banquet should be a very honorable thing. But after seeing what happened at the door, those who had nothing to do with the two factions of the Empire couldn't help but get nervous, for fear that they would be involved if they were not careful.
Therefore, after Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai entered the arena, the people around them who were visible to the naked eye were not as active as before. After seeing Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, everyone just greeted them politely, and didn't mean to go forward to talk. Vaguely, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai formed a vacuum circle in the hall.
Meng Jinhuai is not the one who cares about these things, but after the two entered the venue, Yu Xinlan, who came in first, also walked over with a glass of wine, then glanced at the hall without shyness and said, "This hall is for two people. It was built more than a hundred years ago when the imperial family was at its most prosperous, and I saw the old etiquette of how everyone dresses and behaves today, and it turns out that so many people still miss that era."
Yu Xinlan's words were already very vague, but everyone in the audience, except for Duan Hengye, who failed in history, could hear the irony in the words of the Admiral.
More than two hundred years ago, the Ye Tian imperial family was not only "prosperous", but also extremely luxurious and corrupt. It can be said that the collapse of the empire was the seeds planted at that time.
Now that the hall is quiet, Yu Xinlan did not deliberately lower the volume when he spoke. Just as she said those words, the emperor and queen of the empire also walked in.
Seeing this, everyone around was in a cold sweat.
After hearing her words, the queen stopped as expected. Zhuo Yan glanced at the woman with some dissatisfaction, but did not stop her.
"Admiral Yu is really interesting. According to your opinion, shouldn't the members of Ye Tian Empire like the era of war?" the queen asked.
Before Yu Xinlan had time to refute, she suddenly heard Zhuo Yan, who had been standing there silently, call someone next to her coldly, "Empress, you are talking too much today."
After hearing his words, the woman in red finally glanced coldly at Yu Xinlan, then turned and walked towards the center of the huge banquet hall.
In general, the banquet process of the royal family is very boring. After the routine links are over, the banquet officially begins. Because of the previous episode, many of the people who had planned to have a close relationship with Meng Jinhuai all gave up the idea, and Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were also enjoying themselves.
After the banquet started, the two sat on a sofa in the corner of the banquet hall and greeted the open and secret look. It was at this time that Meng Jinhuai suddenly held a wine glass and spoke to Duan Hengye about the queen's family.
The Yetian Empire has a long history, and the lineage of the Queen's family is equally ancient. Some of the things Meng Jinhuai said were mentioned in Ye Tian's history books, and even more unknown to ordinary people.
Speaking of which, Duan Hengye didn't know much about the queen. After all, even the character of the queen had not appeared a few times in "Dumping the Stars", let alone the family behind her. After listening to Meng Jinhuai's introduction, Duan Hengye finally knew that the Queen's family was so powerful that it even once stood shoulder to shoulder with the royal family. He and Zhuo Yan are considered a complete "political marriage", and in recent years, the gap between the two has become wider and wider.
Hearing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but complained in his heart: It seems that it is not only himself and Meng Jinhuai who received the script of "Discord between Face and Heart" in "Dumping the Stars"...
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Duan Heng's distracted mind, Meng Jinhuai suddenly reached out and stroked his forehead. Duan Hengye's hair was a little long, and when he lowered his head, the strands of hair drooped down to cover his eyes. Meng Jinhuai gently pushed the strand of hair behind Duan Hengye's ear.
As a person who was not used to physical contact, Duan Hengye has unknowingly adapted to the gradually narrowing distance with Meng Jinhuai. When Meng Jinhuai asked him to straighten the broken hair on his forehead, Duan Hengye even turned his head subconsciously, "It's nothing, just thinking about the history of Interstellar."
Meng Jinhuai had already accepted Duan Hengye's super-biased setting, so after hearing what Duan Hengye said, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, these are not important."
Not long after Meng Jinhuai's voice fell, a middle-aged man in a gray dress came over. He was holding the glass with a serious expression. Duan Hengye had never seen this man before, but he still judged from his clothes and demeanor—this man was also a soldier.
After seeing him, Meng Jinhuai stood up from the sofa, then nodded and called, "General Kong."
"Mr. Marshal, good morning." The man bowed to Meng Jinhuai with a glass of wine, and then nodded to Duan Hengye who stood up just now, "Hello, Professor Duan."
Admiral Kong
Duan Hengye remembered that there was indeed such a person in "Dumping the Stars". He was the third general of the empire and had his own legion that did not belong to the military. Compared with Nan Zhuxing, General Kong, who has been doing defensive work, is much more low-key, and even many times people ignore his existence.
Just as Duan Hengye was recalling, Admiral Kong greeted Duan Hengye and walked out of the banquet hall with Meng Jinhuai, presumably looking for a quiet place to catch up. It wasn't until Meng Jinhuai left that Duan Hengye felt that sitting here alone seemed a little boring.
But in the book "Dumping the Stars", the banquet is never boring as a high accident.
After all, the original owner was also an undercover agent of the royal family. He had been to the capital star more than once. Just when Duan Hengye was going to use his memory to find a place with few people to rest, he suddenly felt someone walking in his direction.
Since entering the banquet hall, no one around Duan Hengye dared to approach. So after feeling the aura that was constantly approaching him, Duan Hengye immediately flashed the words "the visitor is not good" in his mind.
Subconsciously, Duan Hengye turned around and looked in the direction of the person coming. But what surprised him was that the person who was approaching him was not a member of the royal family, nor was it some upper-class celebrity in the Yetian Empire... but, Shang Mengzhen, the heroine of "Dumping the Stars"
What is she here for
Shang Mengzhen is wearing a dark green dress today. Although she has also adjusted the shape according to the dress code of the royal family, her overall shape is still much more low-key compared to the people around her.
After all, the heroine is the heroine. She knows what kind of clothes suits her best, and now she knows how to find a sense of presence at this kind of banquet and keep a low profile.
"Professor Duan, hello." Seeing Duan Hengye turn around, Shang Mengzhen was stunned for a moment, and then carefully greeted him. Although the time gap was not long, Duan Hengye felt that the heroine had matured a lot. Duan Hengye was not a person who would not give other people face, let alone the person who greeted him in front of him was the heroine of a novel.
Although... Duan Hengye felt that many important plots in this world had gone wrong, and his life seemed to have nothing to do with the heroine, but he still nodded to the other party and said, "Hello."
"Uh..." Duan Hengye said too few words, and the atmosphere between the two who stood two meters apart after saying hello seemed a little strange. Shang Mengzhen herself knew that from the time she walked towards Duan Hengye, many people around her had been observing this corner. In order not to appear too embarrassed, she still asked, "Professor Duan, do you remember me... I met you here last time."
How could Duan Hengye forget the heroine.
After hearing the other party's words, Duan Hengye nodded and walked to her side and said, "Remember, you are Shang Mengzhen."
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Shang Mengzhen looked up at him in great surprise. Although Shang Mengzhen felt that Duan Hengye would definitely remember him, he was too sure about whether Duan Hengye still remembered his name.
If it was said that the atmosphere between the two of them was still a little awkward, Shang Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Duan Hengye call out his name accurately, and then his state began to gradually return.
Although the heartthrob setting of "Dumping the Stars" is a bit ridiculous, at least in Duan Hengye's view, Shang Mengzhen, the heroine, is a smart person. After months of experience in the entertainment industry, the heroine's already high social skills continued to improve. She smiled at Duan Hengye and said, "I came to disturb Professor Duan this time, mainly to thank you."
Thank me? Duan Hengye was a little confused.
But before he could ask, Shang Mengzhen himself told what happened recently... I don't know if it has anything to do with what happened the day Duan Hengye came here. After a period of development, Shang Mengzhen He has already won his first actress trophy in advance of the plot of the original book.
The interstellar entertainment industry is developed, and the social status of stars is higher than that of the earth. Today's Shang Mengzhen did not come as the female companion of a certain celebrity, but came as a "new actress".
With the rise of her status in the circle, Shang Mengzhen listened to more rumors and gossip from the upper class, and she finally fully realized... What kind of crisis she was facing at the royal banquet at that time.
If Duan Hengye hadn't vented his anger on behalf of the Queen in person, she would definitely continue to hate herself. And if Duan Hengye hadn't brought himself to change his clothes, he would have missed the opportunity to be exposed after the banquet, and he would have missed an important upgrade in his career.
Although the beginning of the story is not very good, Shang Meng is really a rational person. After thinking about the series of things that happened later, her feelings for Duan Hengye have completely turned into gratitude and... worship
That's right, the original "Dumping the Stars" confronts the interstellar politics. The heroine, who was not interested at all, started to pay attention to the news. Then Shang Mengzhen was attracted by Professor Duan's recent drama-like experiences and became one of his fans.
Duan Hengye was stunned, he never imagined that things would turn out to be such a miraculous direction.
In fact, it was because Duan Hengye was too busy recently, if he paid a little attention to Star Entertainment News, he would know. The new actress Shang Mengzhen is not only a well-known fan of herself, but also often likes and forwards various unintelligible mecha research news on social accounts...
Despite being restrained on the surface, the admiration in Shang Mengzhen's eyes, and the mecha-related things he said next, couldn't be deceived.
Reason tells Shang Mengzhen that the situation of today's banquet is unknown. But out of the worship of idols and the life philosophy of "seeking wealth and wealth at risk". After hesitating for a while, Ms. Shang Mengzhen finally came to Duan Hengye's side. As a person with courage and the aura of the protagonist, she is really not afraid to be involved in the dispute between Nan Zhuxing and Capital Star. come in.
…
Duan Hengye felt that this world was truly magical.
And just when Shang Mengzhen was about to continue talking, Duan Hengye felt someone coming over again, and the aura was very familiar. Involuntarily, Duan Hengye's gaze crossed Shang Mengzhen's shoulder and looked back. Immediately afterwards, Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai, who had finished catching up with Admiral Kong.
Although the heroine couldn't feel the person coming, she guessed that someone was coming from Duan Hengye's change of sight, and she couldn't help but turn around and look back.
"Yuan... Lord Marshal." Shang Mengzhen was stunned for a while.
Meng Jinhuai's persuasive temperament that he had cultivated from the war could not be deceived, even though he could chat with Duan Hengye naturally just now, but after turning around and seeing Meng Jinhuai, Shang Mengzhen was still taken aback by him.
"En." Meng Jinhuai politely greeted Chao Shang Mengzhen, then walked to Duan Hengye's side and asked, "A-Heng, is this your friend?"
After seeing this episode of Heng Ye, I finally remembered an important story that he almost forgot because it had nothing to do with the interstellar situation—in today’s banquet, the heroine shined brightly and met people from all walks of life in the interstellar space. Celebrities... Among them, Meng Jinhuai, the Marshal of the Yetian Empire.
In "Dumping the Stars", this is the first time the heroine and the male god marshal, who only existed in the narration introduction, have met for the first time.
The author has something to say: Meng Jinhuai: Now Ah Heng is from Nan Zhuxing, not from Gui Yuxing.
Queen: It's yours (disdain.jpg).
Meng Jinhuai: You are right.
