Counterattack [Interstellar] - Chapter 51

“Your Majesty.” The butler of the Everda Palace saluted Ellen in a polite manner. “His Royal Highness Buona just offered an epiphany to Your Majesty. It is said that it will bloom tonight. Your Majesty, they are watching this rare in the flower hall on the top floor. The beautiful scenery of the city may not come down until later. Is your Highness going to rest here or go upstairs to watch it with your Majesty.”

Alston’s banquet is not early or late. Just when the scars on Alan’s face have just faded away, Alan looks at Pei Yao and asks: “Have you seen the epiphany bloom?”

Pei Yao shook his head: “No…no, it is said that the flowering time is very short and it is not easy to see.”

“Then go and take a look.” Allen naturally took Pei Yao’s hand and said as he walked, “You know, this kind of flower can be used as a food ingredient, and eating it is good for the lungs… My Majesty and I are going to let him How about people cooking for you?”

Pei Yao hurriedly said: “No, I…My lungs are very healthy now.” Pei Yao was afraid that Alan would really ask Alston to pluck the epiphyllum that is about to open up to eat for himself, and added: “The lung nourishing soup you always let me drink is very effective. I haven’t coughed for a long time.”

“It’s not as good as someone who has never been injured.” Allen gently scratched Pei Yao’s palm, “I will still smoke less in the future… You can tell me when you are addicted to cigarettes. I am happy to help you with my own methods. Pay attention.”

“His Royal Highness…”

“I don’t know if I know it well.”

The two voices drifted away, and a maid in the palace couldn’t help but sighed with her companion in a low voice: “His Royal Highness Allen really loves Major General Pei Yao.”

“What is this, I heard…”

The butler turned his head and glanced at the whispering maid. The maids knew their intentions, and quickly bowed their heads, and each stepped back.

“Our Royal Highness Allen and the Princess-to-be are a little late to come down.” Mrs. Jenny heard the voices of the two people early and greeted them first. Mrs. Jenny looked at Pei Yao and shook her head and sighed, “Pei Yao, you are today. Those who come to the banquet as a member of the royal family and wear military uniforms. Did you know that many girls are coming today and deliberately want to fascinate them?”

Pei Yao nodded: “Sorry, I’m just not used to wearing a dress… I’ll pay attention next time.”

“My dear, I just made a little joke with you. You can wear whatever you want. Anyway, you are the most handsome man at the party.” Mrs. Jenny blinked, “Today’s first dance can be Do you dance with me?”

“Auntie.” Allen smiled helplessly. “Are you going to grab my partner?”

Mrs. Jennie chuckled: “It’s stingy, I just want to enjoy again the feeling of being envied and jealous by girls when I was young, alas… I haven’t danced with handsome officers for so many years.”

Allen smiled: “Be careful not to let Prince Adair hear this.”

“It’s okay. He has been so busy these days that he can’t take care of me at all.” Mrs. Jenny couldn’t help laughing. “Bettina’s father and brother’s army is now assigned to Adair, oh…what? I’m sorry, I told Adair originally, don’t take advantage of this, but your majesty insists on giving it. What can we do.”

Mrs. Jennie lowered her voice: “In fact, your Majesty had intended to withdraw the military power of Bettina’s father and brother, but he has never got a good opportunity. This time it is considered a matter of his mind.”

“Poor Bettina, I heard that in order to pay the terrifying fine, even the jewels were sold.” Madam Jeanne sneered at Bettina and did not forget to take care of Pei Yao, who had never spoken much. She smiled and said, “I heard you He put forward a lot of very valuable opinions to your majesty. Your majesty attaches great importance to it. I used to know that you are very talented in the military, but I didn’t expect it to be both civil and military.”

A dark color flashed in Allen’s eyes, and he smiled at Pei Yao: “Go and say hello to your Majesty for me. He probably doesn’t want to talk to me.” The two choked when they got there, and Pei Yao was also worried. What unpleasant things will happen to them here, he nodded: “Yes, Your Highness.”

Mrs. Jenny watched Pei Yao walk in the direction of Alston, and whispered softly: “Is there anything important to tell me, as for avoiding your most beloved Major General.”

Allen smiled and handed her arm to Mrs. Jenny: “I can’t hide anything from you.”

Mrs. Jenny smiled and took Ellen’s arm, and walked with him to the other side of the flower hall.

“Pei Yao’s parents?” Mrs. Jenny frowned slightly, “Why do you remember to ask them here?”

Allen said bluntly: “I don’t want to make up a reason to lie to you, so please don’t ask any more questions.”

Mrs. Jenny was amused by Allen’s bluntness, and thought for a while and said: “To be honest, I’m not very clear. Pei Yao’s father officially became Alston’s right-hand man when I broke with Alston, during which time I broke with Alston. I haven’t had a relationship for nearly two decades. Although we have reconciled since then, I rarely came to the main star. When he really came back, he had already died. I… I only know that he is called Pei Xuan and he is very popular. Dear Admiral.”

Mrs. Jenny regretted: “That was the time when the relationship between me and Alston was the most tense, and I was not very clear about many things.”

“Just say what you know.” Allen hesitated and whispered, “Does Auston really rely on him? Although the outside world says that, I checked a lot of information and found that Osston Dayton didn’t give him much military power.”

Mrs. Jenny was not sure: “This… doesn’t explain anything. He is a knight of Alston and not a general stationed abroad. There is not much military power in his hand that can’t represent anything. Have you handed over a lot of military power to Pei Yao? No. As for whether he really relied on him, then I’m pretty sure. At the time of the war, there was a mess, and Lieutenant Alston hurriedly handed over many documents to him for review. This is enough to prove everything.”

Alan felt more uneasy when he heard this, how could Alston treat Pei Xuan the same as himself to Pei Yao!

Allen’s unclear feelings for Pei Yao have always been very upsetting for Allen. Allen has imagined many situations. The worst case is… Allen loves one of Pei Yao’s parents.

Although Pei Yao’s mother is a guide, her chances are very small. Allen doesn’t think that a beast like Auston can let her go, but the same situation makes sense when placed on Pei Xuan, Auston and Pei Xuan. As a sentinel, Alston would not give up the opportunity to combine with the guide for Pei Xuan, so he had no choice but to let go.

Allen can’t bear Allen’s preference for Pei Yao because he sees Pei Xuan’s shadow on him. If so, if Pei Yao is a guide, would Allen do anything dehumanizing to Pei Yao? What’s coming? !

Allen asked in a low voice, “Then… Is it possible that Alston likes Pei Xuan? You know what kind of like I’m talking about.”

Mrs. Jenny was stunned, and immediately shook her head and said, “Impossible.”

Mrs. Jenny laughed and said: “I’m not sure about anything else, but I can assure you that it’s absolutely impossible. I grew up with Alston. I know him well. He is a straight man. He No interest in men at all, really.”

In fact, according to the assumption that Alston likes Pei Xuan, many things don’t make sense. It’s just about whether his Royal Highness will be coveted by others. Allen is a little more cautious than usual. After receiving the assurance of Mrs. Jenny, Allen I felt better… as long as Alston wasn’t looking for someone’s shadow on Pei Yao.

“What the **** are you investigating?” Although Allen had made it clear that he didn’t want to talk about it, Mrs. Jenny couldn’t help being curious, “Why are you here?”

Allen shook his head and smiled: “Thank you for giving me this valuable information. As for the rest, let’s not talk about it.”

After confirming that his love rival was missing one more, Alan was in a much better mood. He took Mrs. Jenny’s hand and kissed it: “I’ll go see Pei Yao.”

Mrs. Jenny wrinkled her nose at Alan with a smile, and let him go.

The banquet is about to begin. The royal family and their ceremonial officers, attendants, and maids have all arrived. There are a lot of people on the top floor. There are too many people here. It is not convenient for Alan to use his mental power. It took a long time to find Pei Yao, Pei Yao With several people around him, Alan frowned instantly.

“Major General, I have been paying attention to you before, and I will memorize a few words you said at the opening ceremony of Alice.” A girl in her twenties smiled and looked at Pei Yao in admiration, “I just admire You are someone who is not good at expressing and is more willing to prove everything with your own actions.”

“Me too.” A boy who was not a teenager hurriedly answered, “Thinking diligently, dexterously acting, naive to speak…this is the saying among Chinese Americans, you have completely done it.”

“I also heard that your marksmanship is very good.” Another girl approached, her face flushed, and said sweetly, “Can you show us your marksmanship? I really want to see it with my own eyes… …”

Several people around heard the words and responded, and the boy before laughed: “I’ve heard of it too, can you show it to us? Major General…please!”

Allen took a deep breath, and indeed it was wrong to agree to Alston’s invitation before! For a handsome and charming general like Pei Yao, at which ball will he be surrounded by people and show his marksmanship? What do they want to see? Can anyone see what Pei Yao looks like when he shoots? !

“I’m very sorry.” Pei Yao stepped back slightly, avoiding the boy’s hand that was coming to pull him, and looked down, “To comply with the palace’s security regulations, I took off the gun before going upstairs.”

The oldest girl hurriedly laughed and said, “This is not a problem, I can ask for one for you, Major General… Promise us.”

Pei Yao shook his head: “Sorry…this does not meet the regulations.”

“Major General, what about breaking the law once for us? We really want to see it.”

Pei Yao was really not good at dealing with this kind of occasion. He owed him and had to leave. Who knows that he saw Alan not far away as soon as he turned around.

Allen half-smiled, and slowly approached, “What do you do?”

Pei Yao was afraid of Alan’s misunderstanding, so he answered honestly, and Alan let out a casual “Oh”: “Then you rejected my lovely cousin?”

Pei Yao pursed his lower lip and nodded, “This really does not meet the regulations.”

Allen nodded and smiled: “What should I do? I suddenly want to appreciate your marksmanship.”

Pei Yao was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and drooped his head and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”

Pei Yao took the pistol that Alan had removed from his waist, picked up an apple on the table and turned it upside down, raised his hand and threw the apple out of the top guardrail, Pei Yao held the gun in both hands and closed his left eye, “pop” With a sound, the apple burst, and the pieces fell on the square in front of the palace.

Allen smiled and glanced at his cousins. It goes without saying: This person is his own, and he cares most about and indulges himself the most.

Looking at them with admiration and jealousy eyes, the depression in Alan’s heart was swept away.
