The next day, Luo Xiaolou appeared in the lounge of the palace with an unnatural expression. The smiles of the people in the palace made him feel extremely guilty.
A cup of black tea appeared in Luo Xiaolou's hand at the right time. Mr. Butler bent slightly and said, "Your Highness, during your trip with Your Highness Xi, two of your relatives came here."
Well, excursion is a good word to use! But relatives
Luo Xiaolou frowned, and asked, "Is it the Luo family?" Now, because of Luo Shaotian's relationship with the Luo family, Luo Xiaolou's antipathy has dropped a lot. And my dear son risked his life and death to save others, and it was understandable for the Luo family to find him. He should really help calm down his anger or something...
"No, you misunderstood, it's the Jin family." Mr. Butler said.
Luo Xiaolou almost couldn't react, when he thought of Mrs. Jin, it was already ten seconds later.
Carefully observing Luo Xiaolou's reaction, Mr. Housekeeper quickly concluded that Luo Xiaolou was not familiar with the two relatives who appeared suddenly, so he continued with confidence: "However, unfortunately, The two young masters of the Jin family went on a trip a few days ago because they couldn't wait for your return."
Although he said regret, there was a subtle sense of lightness in Mr. Steward's tone. He didn't want His Royal Highness to get close to such two people who didn't care about his safety at all and only cared about his inheritance.
Originally, his eyes were raised, but when he heard that it was the Jin family, he quickly returned to normal. He waved his hand and said without discussing with Luo Xiaolou, "When they come again, tell me directly." Luo Xiaolou Now the closest person is him, if others want to be his relatives, it depends on his satisfaction.
Luo Xiaolou glanced at Yuan Xi, but didn't speak.
Mr. Housekeeper saw that Luo Xiaolou had no intention of objecting, so he smiled and agreed. After so many years in the Yuan family, he has long been used to the fact that most of the decisions in this family are made by his wife. , their personalities are similar, even including the rare single-mindedness and innocence towards their wives.
Yuan Che and Feng Jialing have not come over yet, but it is said that Yuan Che is recovering very well.
Luo Xiaolou looked at Yuan Xi and said, "I'm going to my master's place tomorrow, and I'm going to meet Tian Li and Yatesi."
Yuan Xi nodded, "I'll go with you, I happen to have something to go to Planet Ansai."
Luo Xiaolou hesitated for two seconds, and asked cautiously: "Isn't the territorial issue the most important issue for a country? Why are you not in a hurry?"
Yuan Xi took a sip of tea, "Are you talking about Yue Shang?"
His eyes turned cold, and he smiled, "My mother and I have noticed it for a long time, and even my father, it is impossible not to know that there is a force that has been planning to revive the Federation. He just likes Yueshang very much and thinks that he is not involved. That's all."
"However, now that the facts are in front of us, I don't think my father will have any expectations of him anymore. As for the territorial issue you mentioned, how can you not pay attention to it? When you have time, you can take a look at the current domain distribution map and you will understand." Although Yueshang took away many people, he didn't take away any important fortresses or planets."
Luo Xiaolou was surprised for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Since they have been planning for a long time, it is impossible for them to be unclear about these things. They must try their best to win over those high-level planets in important geographical locations, so why is this happening?"
"Of course they will win them over, and they can even use all means. But they can't succeed, because mother stays here." Yuan Xi's mouth curled up, and he said very gently, "Several important high-level planets have been persuaded, But the day before they made a decision, the mother arranged for the army to be wiped out directly, and all the senior officials were replaced, and twice as many troops were sent to stay behind. I heard that the newly established federation was very annoyed by this, and even criticized the empire. "
Luo Xiaolou was stunned and replaced all of them. Your Majesty Feng Jialing really has great courage and aura.
"As for other planets, during the last war, they took the initiative to beg to join the empire. But after the empire protected them and gave them a comfortable life for more than ten years, those people did not feel grateful, but kept thinking about it. Their own interests. They are unwilling to give up and have been operating secretly. Father and mother have long been bored, and probably want to take advantage of this incident to reshuffle the cards."
Luo Xiaolou was stunned. It turned out that they knew it a long time ago, and they were a little worried about whether an interstellar war would break out. Moreover, there were still problems with alien beasts and third parties that had not been resolved.
While the two were talking, someone outside suddenly said, "Your Majesty will arrive at the palace in five minutes! Go and report to the queen."
Yuan Xi took Luo Xiaolou out, and when he was about to leave, he lowered his head and leaned into Luo Xiaolou's ear and said, "Don't worry, if we don't tell you, my brother won't reveal your identity to anyone of."
Luo Xiaolou paused, he never thought that Yuan Xi would notice his uneasiness. A warm current surged in Luo Xiaolou's heart, and he felt that the uninvited pressure had been relieved a lot. Since the moment Yuan Xi chased him to the gray cave, he had already decided that no matter what happened, he would try his best to be with Yuan Xi.
Moreover, they are married, he likes Yuan Xi, and there are many things that should be faced together.
The two followed Feng Jialing and Yuan Che, and welcomed Yuan Lie five minutes later. Yuan Lie was still astonishingly domineering, he walked off the spaceship without showing any expression.
Feng Jialing watched with a smile on his face, while Yuan Che took a step forward and called, "Father." For some reason, the news of Yuan Che's return was not announced, and the people of the empire only knew that their Highness Yuan Xi brought him With the return of the prince and concubine. And Yuan Lie, who was dozens of stars away, also didn't get the news—so, he got a huge surprise now.
The moment Yuan Lie saw Yuan Che, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened, his jaw tightened, and he strode over and hugged his eldest son. Then, Yuan Lie pulled Feng Jialing behind Yuan Che, and hugged the two of them tightly.
"Little Che, seeing you standing in front of me must be God's gift to me." Yuan Lie said in a low voice. It was always his biggest regret that he didn't protect Yuan Che well. The first son, the eldest son who looks exactly like Feng Jialing, has always been Yuan Lie's favorite son.
Feng Jialing didn't speak, Yuan Che reached out to hug his father, and said softly, "Father, I almost regret seeing you and mother again, as well as Yuan Xi and Xiao Nuo."
When he said this, Yuan Che lowered his eyes, regretting... Are there really no regrets
"What are you talking about, since you're back, live well!" Yuan Lie scolded with widened eyes, but because he was reluctant, his voice was not harsh at all, completely different from when he was talking to Yuan Xi Yuan Nuo and others .
Yuan Lie let go of his hand, and then looked at his youngest son and Luo Xiaolou who were standing beside him. When he saw Luo Xiaolou, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'm very happy, you two still remember coming back from your honeymoon .”
Yuan Xi glanced at his father angrily, when did he spend his honeymoon? He hadn't had a day at all, and he had to make it up, there was no doubt about it.
People around laughed softly, the relationship between Yuan Lie and Yuan Xi and his father and son was obviously not as good as that of Yuan Lie and Yuan Che. There is no way, Yuan Lie has doted on Yuan Che since he was a child, and Feng Jialing has always shown a tenderness towards Yuan Xi that makes Yuan Lie jealous.
Both of them obviously prefer the son who looks like the other, but in fact, the feelings between parents and sons are equally deep.
Yuan Lie and Feng Jialing brought the three of them into the hall, and after a while, Yuan Nuo also hurried over.
Because of Yuan Che's return, Yuan Lie's face was obviously filled with joy. Seeing that everyone was present, the housekeeper said, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch. Do you want to eat now?"
Yuan Lie nodded, the four juniors went to the restaurant first, Yuan Lie and Feng Jialing left for more than ten minutes, and Yuan Lie had already changed his clothes when he came back.
"I think you all know the current situation." Shortly after the lunch started, Yuan Lie said.
"Of course, you want to open a little bit." Yuan Xi said, while helping Luo Xiaolou put his favorite dishes into the bowl, occasionally he couldn't help but add some fish, shrimp and other things he likes.
Yuan Lie stared at the younger son's actions, and turned his eyes away hating iron and iron, and it turned out that the eldest son was more eye-catching, no matter his appearance or personality.
"This situation is expected, and I have nothing to worry about. As for Yueshang, everyone has his own aspirations. Since it is his own idea, he can leave as he wants." Yuan Lie said lightly, with an obvious coldness on his face .
When a son has been raised for more than ten years, it is false to say that he has no feelings at all, but no matter how close he is, he will never kiss his son. He likes Yueshang to a large extent because Yueshang's parents disappeared at the same time as Yuan Che, and when he saw Yueshang, he remembered his eldest son, so he put so much affection into him.
Besides, he is the king of the empire, and apart from close relatives, he has no more affection than the empire.
"Then what's the situation on the border you went to inspect?" Yuan Xi asked.
Yuan Lie was silent for two seconds before he said, "I asked people from the surrounding planets to evacuate."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone at the table fell silent, Feng Jialing frowned, and Yuan Xi asked, "So serious?" You know, the evacuation of the people of a planet is not a matter of a single sentence.
"Let's see the situation first. I hope my order is wrong." Yuan Lie said, "In the past few days, Yuan Xi and Xiao Nuo have been going to the military headquarters. As for Luo Xiaolou, pay more attention to safety."
Yuan Lie actually floated a word of concern, and Luo Xiaolou was flattered. It seemed that this father, who was as awkward as before, had accepted him.
After lunch, Yuan Lie went to rest. He had been busy for more than a month.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Nuo went to the military headquarters, and Yuan Che arranged for the Huidong people who came back with him. If these people were really bodyguards, they would be too talented. Luo Xiaolou went back to their room. According to Yuan Xi's request, Mr. Housekeeper organized a studio for Luo Xiaolou next to their room.
Luo Xiaolou planned to start designing the original tenth-level mech. Instead of taking out those advanced materials, he took out the blueprint of the biological mech that 125 had given him, and studied it all afternoon.
During the gray cave, he was researching, and Luo Xiaolou also put some ideas and structures in the energy sword into the biological mech.
After one afternoon, Luo Xiaolou contacted Mr. Mu from Gray Galaxy, and the two talked for a long time.
After finishing the communication, Luo Xiaolou frowned again and looked at the blueprint for a long time. When he was about to start drawing, he finally put down the blueprint.
The next day, Luo Xiaolou and Yuanxi went to the planet Ansai, and Yuanxi sent Luo Xiaolou to Kane first, and didn't leave until people walked in.
Luo Xiaolou went up to see Master Yan, and was first caught and scolded by Master Yan for a long time. He couldn't figure out how Luo Xiaolou could crash into the gray hole.
Thinking of the old man's hard work and rushing to renovate the battleship for a month, Luo Xiaolou felt comforted when he heard these words of scolding him. He kissed his grandfather and treated him like that.
After Master Yan finished cursing angrily, he asked Luo Xiaolou to explain the situation in the gray cave. When Luo Xiaolou mentioned the energy sword, Master Yan's eyes lit up.
Luo Xiaolou wisely took out a piece of Zhiqian, some high-grade energy stones and put them on the old man's desk. Finally, Luo Xiaolou took out another small box and said, "Master, there may be a surprise for you inside."
Master Yan opened the box with doubts on his face, and then his expression changed drastically. He closed the lid carefully, laughed loudly, and slapped Luo Xiaolou forcefully, "You boy, you are really a fool, you can even do it in the gray cave." Cultivate the holy juniper vine!"
After asking a few more questions, Master Yan obviously had something to do, and drove Luo Xiaolou out of the office, then pressed the button on the wall, and a proud old man appeared on the wall.
…
Luo Xiaolou went downstairs and talked to Shen Yuan for a while, and gave him Huidong specialties before walking out of Kane. He had already notified Tian Li and Yates to come pick him up.
But Luo Xiaolou obviously came down early, because it was not Tian Li and Yatesi who were waiting there, but a group of reporters.
It was too late for Luo Xiaolou to go back, a reporter asked first: "May I ask, Your Highness, the one month you disappeared, were you really hijacked?"
The other one shouted: "His Royal Highness, the Federal Road History News asked, do you still remember the mecha manufacturing competition you should have played with Yupo? Since you have returned, but you have not mentioned this matter for a long time, you are admitting defeat." Yet?"
"Your Highness, what do you think about the federation and the empire? Should the empire give the federation fair?"
Luo Xiaolou looked at the reporters below who were scrambling to ask questions, but he didn't turn around and leave, nor did he go any further. Kane's security guards had already rushed over, and some plainclothes guards belonging to the palace who had been outside already stopped the group of reporters who appeared suddenly.
However, if Luo Xiaolou doesn't answer now, there will be comments saying that the empire is afraid of the Federation! At this moment, many cameras were directly facing Luo Xiaolou.
And Tian Li finally squeezed in with the suspension car, and he shouted: "Luo Xiaolou, come here!"
Luo Xiaolou walked over, and before getting into the car, he turned around slowly and looked at the reporters who obviously had a purpose.
For a moment, outside Kane's door, the reporters who were vying to ask questions or sarcastically fell silent. Their eyes were full of ecstasy. As long as the prince and concubine spoke, their goal would be achieved. They had plenty of ways to write what they wanted. .
Luo Xiaolou's quiet voice sounded in the square, "The month I left is my private matter, and I have the right not to answer it. As for the second question, I remember that before, many people urged us to compete At that time, Prince Yupo himself also mentioned one thing, I won him, so he wanted to compete again. For this matter, I only have one answer, if I win him for the first time, I can win His second time. As for the result of the game, it will come out soon, and there will be surprises."
"As for the last thing, the fairness of the empire and the Federation, everyone, why not ask His Majesty Yuan Lie and the current Prime Minister of the Federation, Yue Shang, I believe they will give you more answers. As for me, I can only say, I I love the empire, she gave me a peaceful life, and in the future, she will protect me. What I can do for her is to protect her when she needs it, not to betray her."
