Interstellar Fairy Tale - Chapter 149

In June 1129 of the Galactic Calendar, important figures from the power class of the Golden Empire gathered at the Ivan Summer Palace. Flagships painted with different family crests were constantly flying over the imperial capital, covering the blue sky like huge clouds. The roar of the engine swept across the sky, and the clouds moved like a tidal wave. The black battleship was the pride of the empire, and the fleet commanders under Solan II also arrived one after another. However, there is always an invisible boundary between the flagships of the old-fashioned nobles and the warships. Even in parallel, it will give people a distinct feeling.

The Ivan Summer Palace was brightly lit for many days, and the servants in the palace stayed up all night. The sound of the heels inlaid with gemstones hitting the marble floor kept playing in the corridors of the palace, and the maids hurried by with their skirts left behind for a while. Fragrant wind.

It is the first time that His Majesty Solan II will hold a grand banquet of this scale since he ascended the throne. All the star lords of the empire and the powerful figures of the military will all attend. The slightest mistake is not allowed. The busy maids have no time to complain about the nitpicking of the servants, and the Ivan Summer Palace has not had such a lively atmosphere for a long time. His Majesty Soran Edrich is like a precise and cold machine. He always handles government affairs meticulously. The young and beautiful emperor has never been interested in lavish banquets and exquisite royal life, so much so that he works in the Ivan Summer Palace. of people are starting to worry about losing their jobs.

Today, this problem no longer exists.

It was no longer a secret that His Majesty’s banquet was for the new princess. Since Empress Dowager Yilan left Ivan Palace to lead the star, Ivan Palace will finally welcome another owner.

“What will the new princess look like?”

The Ivan Summer Palace was so huge that there were very few servants and maids who had seen Shang Ping’s deity. Many speculations about the new imperial concubine also flowed into Shang Ping’s ears, and the content made Shang Ping a little dumbfounded.

The new princess is a black-haired beauty, his eyes are like tea-colored crystals, he has flower-like lips, cream-colored skin, he is as fresh and pleasant as morning dewdrops, and his smile is as sweet as the most fragrant honey. Your Majesty’s heart…

For these specious rumors, Shang Ping went from blushing at the beginning, to stunned, and then to indifference. . Sure enough, time and place are not a problem, gossip is always the most wonderful spiritual food for human beings. However, it is not a happy thing to be the center of gossip.

“Your Excellency, your dress has been delivered.”

Soran Edrich was busy with government affairs, and Shang Ping’s attendance at the banquet was all handled by the court attendant. For some unknown reason, the court etiquette officer just stepped in. Including the dresses, jewelry, and even gemstone brooches and cufflinks for the banquet, all of which became the reason for the quarrel between the sergeant and the etiquette officer.

Shang Ping had a headache, but he didn’t know what to do. The two quarreled and finally made a compromise. So, with only seven days before the banquet, the dress and jewelry were finally placed in front of the business plane.

Since Shang Ping is only a major in the empire and does not have the title of aristocrat, he will become the imperial concubine of the empire. Shang Ping’s dress must take into account many factors. The black trousers and the black military dress top with silver trim are the best. The buttons and epaulettes of the top are inlaid with silver and blue gemstones. The tassel on the epaulets is woven from gold and silver threads. There is no collar badge representing the military rank of a major on the neckline. Except for the lack of a ribbon, the whole dress is very similar to the military dress of the royal family. Whether it is an attendant or a ceremonial officer, they are not too picky about this finished product.

“Is this still a dress?” Shang Ping put on his dress and stood in front of the fitting mirror of equal height, touched the shiny row of cufflinks, and said to himself, “This is an active gem exhibition stand.”

Of course, these complaints were only in private, and when he walked out of the fitting room, Shang Ping had already put on a decent smile very naturally. After a month of surprise instruction from the court etiquette officer, Shang Ping, who can even use his walking posture as a template, has long since changed.

“Your Excellency, this is a gem sent by Your Majesty.”

The maid held an exquisite three-layer jewelry box, including the ear studs with one ear, the headband for the hair, and the brooch, all of which are the specifications adopted by the imperial concubine. The etiquette officer did not say much about this. Shang Ping’s identity is in For the emperor’s close officials, it is no longer a secret.

However, whether this imperial concubine appointed by the emperor can become the queen of the empire is another matter.

Shang Ping just glanced at it, and then handed it over to the etiquette officer. It is up to him to decide what he should wear. However, earrings and the like, thank you for not being sensitive.

In the west hall of Ivan Summer Palace, Empress Dowager Yilan received the visiting Earl Reichardt. Count Reichate was very puzzled by the sudden change of attitude of the Empress Dowager Yilan. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, who clearly valued her background the most, changed her objection and began to personally arrange to teach Shang Ping, which made many people in the capital of the empire fall below the threshold. Glasses.

“Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, do you really agree with your Majesty’s choice for the imperial concubine?”

When Count Reichardt rarely speaks so bluntly, the Queen Mother Yilan was slightly surprised, but it did not prevent her from sensing Count Reichardt’s hidden thoughts in the dark. These big noble families have certain expectations for the position of the imperial concubine. After all, the throne of Soran Edrich is already rock solid, and the emperor who has performed very well in government affairs and military affairs, the only thing to worry about at the moment is married. For the great aristocracy and power classes of the empire, the emperor’s marriage was a very important matter. Today, His Majesty the Emperor wants to marry a concubine who is not from the Empire, which has to make many people worry.

“Your Excellency, the emperor’s decision cannot be easily changed.”

Empress Dowager Yilan gently shook the small folding fan, smiled and took a sip of the fragrant flower tea, “Besides, she’s just an imperial concubine, not an empress.”

Count Reichardt did not believe the words of the Empress Dowager Yilan. Soran Edrich was not an emperor who was keen on the harem. For this ruthless dictator, whether it was a concubine or a queen, it was just a matter of thought. Perhaps it was because of Shang Ping’s background and his inability to contribute to the empire that Soran Edrich chose the “imperial concubine”. After all, this was much smaller than the backlash caused by the direct canonization of the queen.

“If this is what Your Majesty meant, I have nothing to say.”

Earl Reichardt had already had a case before his arrival, which clarified Empress Dowager Yilan’s attitude, and only provided a layer of insurance for his decision. Soran Edrich is not an emperor who needs powerful relatives. Perhaps a concubine with no background, or even a queen, is not a bad thing.

During the short afternoon tea time, the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister of the Empire reached a preliminary consensus.

Leaving the West Hall, Count Reichardt walked through the corridor covered with red carpets. The dome supported by circular giant columns was painted with the great achievements of previous emperors. Either **** expeditions, or determined reforms, but Solan II’s father, Hainy III, only left a faint trace in the early days of his ascension. Perhaps it’s just that the history of the empire cannot ignore an emperor who once held supreme power. This sympathetic account is more of a sarcasm, because after Haney III will be his decisive and wise son.

Looking at the pattern of the dome, Count Reichart was slightly lost until the roar from the sky interrupted his thoughts. That’s the Imperial family, Harlan? Edrich’s flagship, followed by the flagship of the emperor’s direct general, Admiral Ida, and the flagship of Lieutenant General Metz.

“Mediocre emperor, wise emperor…”

Count Reichardt seemed to suddenly understand something, and after a brief absence, his expression returned to seriousness. He became the Prime Minister of the Empire who devoted himself to the empire, was unsmiling, and dominated the government and the opposition.

Soran Edrich met Harlan in the lounge of the East Hall? Edrich, Admiral Ida and Lieutenant General Metz went to the military headquarters to hand over military affairs at the first time, and then waited for the emperor’s summons. As the emperor’s direct generals stationed on one side, Ida and Metz, who have no royal identity, and Harlan? Eddrich had an essential gap, and this gap became more pronounced after Soran Eddrich took the throne. Fortunately, the generals who followed Soran Edrich’s side during the prince’s era were all loyal, avoiding the embarrassment caused by this gap in identity. After all, Harlan? Edrich was still a lieutenant general, while Ida was already an imperial general.

“Your Majesty, I have to say that your decision is indeed surprising.”

Harlan? Edrich was as uninterested in Solan Eddrich’s marriage as he was in the throne. The premise is that this cannot affect him.

“Are you surprised too?”

“Of course.” Harlan? Edrich’s expression was a bit exaggerated, “However, you shouldn’t marry only one princess, right?”

“If so?”

“Your Majesty, do you think that all members of the royal family follow the same rules as me?”

“Follow the rules? I doubt you’d use that word to describe yourself.”

“Your Majesty, this is a very serious question.”

“About whether you are following the rules?”

“No.” Harlan? Aidrich put away some false exaggerated expressions and said seriously: “If you have a marriage, then the heir becomes a very important thing. Your Majesty can have a male concubine or even a queen, but you need an heir. If you don’t have children, some people in the royal family won’t be too safe.”

Soran Edrich put one hand on the back of the sofa and tapped lightly on his leg with the other, and said slowly, “Perhaps this is not a bad thing. After all, killing people is much easier than preventing conspiracies.”

Speechless.

Harlan? Edrich has determined that His Majesty, the great emperor, has been willful to an indescribably terrifying level. Well, he doesn’t care, even if there is turmoil in the royal family, it will be a long time later. As the emperor said, killing people is much simpler than other things.

Six hundred and seventy-eighth puzzle star

Goodwill received an invitation letter from Soran Edrich’s banquet. His Excellency the black-haired Governor rubbed his eyes. What identity does His Majesty the Emperor want him to appear in? If he landed in the capital of the Empire as the Governor of the Star, he would be smashed into a sieve by a laser gun in the next second.

So, the emperor’s father-in-law?

Three black lines slid down his forehead, the goodwill was completely certain, if he dared to appear like this, the emperor would personally kill him. Soran Edrich condoning Shang Ping does not mean that he will be equally “kind” to “Shang Ping’s father”.
