63 Chapter 063 - Temporary Residence in the Embassy
Niyao Shuangki: Are you still busy lately?
Nebo is a good boy: I'm not very busy now, so I have time to go online!
Nebo is a good boy: Oh yes, I see that the union you added is the Glory Alliance, and this guild is the first in the whole server, so it's hard to get in, right?
Niyao Shuangmu: I was a friend who helped me find an acquaintance, so it should be very difficult in normal times.
Nebel was a good boy: it felt good to have someone up there!
Shuangmu Riyao: Do you want to join a guild too? I asked my friend to ask?
Nebo is a good boy: No, no, I don't plan to find a guild right now, so let's just play like this, anyway, it's good to have you do tasks with me or something.
It was probably the first time he had met a friend in the game who could talk, and Ax felt very happy.
The original Lin Xiaoyang has an introverted and quiet personality, a very small social circle, and not many acquaintances with his classmates in college, let alone any good brothers and iron buddies.
Now that he has Zexin and Nibel, he always feels like he has re-experienced his youth, and there is a kind of excitement rippling in his heart when he thinks about it.
Niyao Shuangmu: Well, I'm with you!
Neber is a good boy: Hey, hey, hey, then we'll accompany you to do the task today~ I'll take a look~ Oh, without me by your side, you're not motivated, right, last time it was level 34, and it took so long to upgrade to level 1!
Niyao Shuangmu: ...... I was also busy before!
Ax didn't want to admit it, but he wasn't too busy before the birthday party.
Every time he landed, he didn't see Nebe, and Ze Xin had his own activities to participate, even if the other party was willing to take Akes, a "drag oil bottle", he himself didn't want to be embarrassed.
So before he finished a task, Ax gradually lost interest, and after a while, he thought about simply going offline.
Nebo is a good boy: no need to explain, my brother will take you flying, go!
β¦β¦
When Lin Zexin ran upstairs to find the little prince, Akers had just said goodbye to Nebel, and when he saw Xiao Lin looking at him attentively, he asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Your Highness, I just met Mr. Gray, and he seems to have started preparing for your engagement ceremony with the general!"
Speaking of this, Lin Zexin smiled so ambiguously.
Arkes' face was a little hot when he heard this, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Oh. β
Xiao Lin squinted his eyes and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, and found Akers' hand clenched into a fist on his knee, and immediately understood that he was not so calm and light as he appeared, and he was probably ashamed!
Then he said, "Shall we ask Mr. Gray how is it now?" Your birthday party has just ended, and you have to prepare for another bigger ceremony right away, so you must be in a hurry, right?! β
Akers had already determined that Lin Zexin was making fun of him, and decided to ignore Xiao Lin, he stood up and said, "Yangyang should get up, I'm going to accompany him, do you want to come with me?" β
Lin Zexin saw that Akers wanted to fool the past, and his heart was even happier, but thinking that the future would be long, and there would be a chance to joke about the thin-skinned little prince, he decided to let him go for the time being: "Okay, I'll be with you." β
The two of them held hands, oh, no, they just walked side by side towards Chen Xu's room.
As soon as I reached the staircase, I saw a small round furball running out of the room in front of me.
I saw it make a gorgeous "drift" and quickly turn, and then ran straight towards Ax and them.
"Whoa!" The little one's voice was a little languid and hoarse, and it sounded like it was after a nap.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Akers and Lin Zexin walked to Xiao Zhengtai's room and found that he had indeed woken up.
He crawled out of the covers, sat down, rubbed his eyes, and yawned.
Then he looked around in confusion - huh? I didn't see Miaoer, where did Miaoer go?
When he was in a daze, Xiao Zhengtai found that Ax and his cousin Xiaolin were coming, and he decisively stretched out his two little hands and motioned for Acers to hug.
The little prince was carrying a fluffy little chubby mound in his arms at the moment, but he was already familiar with hugging the two, and soon held the little wolf cub's little ass with one hand, and hugged the little wolf's too soft body with the other hand.
Carrying the other party to the bed, Ax also wanted to put the little wolf cub on the bed, but unfortunately the little guy found out Ackes's intentions in advance, and it grabbed Ackes's arm tightly with its little claws and fat legs, making a whining sound.
It seems that the little prince insisted on putting it down, what a cruel thing!
There was no way, so Ax had to continue to hold the little wolf cub with one hand.
Chen Xu didn't mind that Arkes didn't help him change clothes or put on shoes, in fact, he could do well by himself, so he quickly changed his pajamas into home clothes, and jumped out of bed by himself and put on his own plush slippers.
Akers touched the little one's little head and helped him straighten his collar and hat with one hand.
A little Zhengtai who is a water dangdang is successfully baked after a nap!
Akers led him with his free hand and led the little ones to the small hall outside the suite, where Xiao Zhengtai was going to play with his new toys today.
That was one of the New Year's gifts he got, because the finished state was a bit huge, and although Xiao Zhengtai was very smart, he was a child less than five years old after all, and he still needed the help of adults to complete this work.
This toy is an aerial rail train that simulates the city center and shuttles between towers, which is very fresh for Shota Kota, who has been riding a flying machine as a means of transportation.
Lin Zexin has been to the city center and is very familiar with it, so he can't help but sigh: "Now the children's toys are really against the sky, and those who don't know think they are a model of the city center with a reduced scale!"
In order to make the final effect look more complete and realistic, this model toy did not even ignore the high-rise buildings between the tracks.
So Akers accompanied Xiao Zhengtai to assemble the main part of the empty rail, and Lin Zexin was solely responsible for putting together all the building models.
Fortunately, the shape of these buildings is relatively similar, and the toymaker did not set it up as finely as the empty rails, but simply assembled the faΓ§ade.
They worked for more than two hours, and it wasn't until Mr. Gray knocked on the door and came in that they had done two-thirds of the work.
"Your Highness, there are some things that need to be discussed with you, could you please come and have a moment?" Mr. Gray looked at the little prince with a smile on his face and whispered to him.
Ax: They thought Mr. Gray was here to remind him of the time - it was time to eat!
Unexpectedly, he came to talk to Akers specifically.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Walking back to his room, Ax motioned for Mr. Gray to sit down on the couch with him.
"What do you want to discuss with me?" Although there was some vague speculation, Axes asked Mr. Gray anyway.
"Actually, it's something about an engagement ceremony." Mr. Gray said of this sentiment: "There are important aspects that need to be worked out. β
"That'...... Let the general decide, it's okay......" Akers lowered his head slightly and whispered, "I don't know what to prepare......"
Mr. Gray opened his terminal, flipped a list up and down, and introduced him: "You see, there is already a very detailed plan here, you don't need to think about what to prepare yourself, you just need to make decisions in some key places. β
Mr. Butler thought for a moment and added: "In addition, we also need to further negotiate with the embassy, and there are some matters that need to be operated and improved by the embassy of your country." β
Axes was stunned when he heard thisβwasn't that to communicate with Crown Prince Calvin or Princess Rebecca?!
I don't know if Crown Prince Calvin will be willing to take care of these trivial matters, after all, since the last time they "broke up", they haven't been in contact again, and the other party only appeared in the Marshal's Mansion during the birthday party.
Although Crown Prince Calvin had been staying near him during the banquet, the two did not communicate further.
As for Princess Rebecca, let her participate in the engagement ceremony of Axes and Chen Jingxingjiang - it is really unimaginable that there will be any disaster!
"Then am I looking for the imperial brother...... Ask about the situation. Akers asked hesitantly.
"Her Highness Calvin has given full authority to Lady Bailey, and we just need to contact her." Mr. Grey immediately relieved the little prince's heart.
Akers breathed a long sigh of relief, but he glanced at the long list on the other party's terminal again, and before he could take a closer look, he felt a little tired just by looking at it like this!
Fortunately, there is a versatile and capable Mr. Butler here!
Mr. Gray smiled and said to the little prince, "Because the Carter royal family and the Chen family are a little different in terms of beliefs, the main thing also revolves around this matter. β
The Carter royal family believed in the god of light.
But the Chen family, like the Lin family and Andrews family, are not religious, so the engagement has always been carried out according to the traditional rituals of their hometown.
If Akes is not "marrying" but marrying, then naturally it will follow the traditional engagement ceremony of the Illuminati Sect. It's a pity that Chen Jingxing of the Federation will not be able to "marry" into the Carter royal family, and they are equal to each other.
But in this way, there are bound to be some conflicts.
For example, whether the ceremony is held in the church or in the marshal's palace, whether it is necessary to invite a senior deacon of the Holy See, or whether only one celebrant is needed, and of course, there are many details in the process of the ceremony.
In order to make the guests happy, Mr. Gray has blended and matched many places to make the ceremony seem to satisfy Carter's customs without destroying the style of the Federation.
He had agreed on this with the embassy, and the whole ceremony was divided into three parts, the beginning and the subsequent banquet in the marshal's palace, and the middle part in the chapel, which almost did not interfere with each other.
The Marshal's Mansion wants to prepare a dowry and a set of twelve dowries, the amount of which needs to be determined by Chen Jingxing in the future, but in terms of the style of the dowry, he still hopes that Akers likes.
In addition, since both of them are men, there should not be a difference in marriage, so it is customary for the woman to prepare a 12-piece costume for the bridegroom-to-be.
In addition, there are flowers, sweet teas, desserts, and banquets for guests, all of which must be confirmed one by one.
"The general means to let you take a look and then decide with him." Mr. Gray explained.
Axes immediately understood what Chen Jing meantβthe general must have been dizzy when he saw that he had been idle lately, so let him participate in the preparations, and most importantly, enjoy the fun of preparing for his engagement ceremony.
Mr. Gray was worried that there would be too many things to do, and His Highness Ax would have a hard time.
However, when he saw the little prince with a happy smile, he understood that the one who knew His Highness Akers best was his own general!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
As time passed, preparations for all aspects of the ritual progressed in an orderly manner.
Although it was less than two weeks to prepare, with the active consultation and cooperation of Mr. Gray and Mrs. Bailey, everything seemed to be going very well.
Akes and Chen Jing had already chosen the dress in advance, and after trying it on, they felt that the effect was even better than expected.
The bride price, the dowry, the clothes and accessories that were given to each other, the gifts to be given to the guests, the cakes and dishes to be served at the feast, and the church in which the intermediate ceremony was held, and who were the deacons and the officiant......
Akes watched things settle one by one, and somehow, suddenly felt a sense of nervousness, and as the engagement day got closer and closer, this tension became more and more obvious!
Gradually, everyone noticed the mood changes of the little prince.
Mr. Gray no longer bothered him with small and trivial matters, lest the little prince would be more irritated by the repetition of these small places.
Chen Jing was also more resolute and decisive when he needed to make decisions with Akers, so that Akers only enjoyed the joy of participation and did not experience the entanglement of choice.
As for Xiaolin, he pulled him to play games, and even "abandoned" his teammates, and accompanied Akers for two or three days for the first time to do a primary task, and successfully helped him rise from level 35 to level 37.
Seeing everything everyone did and understanding their intentions, this made Axes very moved.
However, the tension has not been completely eliminated from this - is this the so-called premarital phobia?!
Arks asked Qiuqiu speechlessly, "Is there any way to relieve the tension?" β
Qiuqiu shook his furry little head: "There is no solution, this is a psychological problem, only you can solve it." β
In fact, it thinks that the reason why Ax is nervous is because he is too idle - if he is really busy in the dark, how can he have the time and experience to toss and turn! This is all spoiled by Chen Jing and Mr. Gray, spoiled!
Just when Akes was worried about his "problem", he didn't expect a bigger trouble to appear!
In the course of Mr. Gray's discussion on behalf of the Marshal's Mansion and Mrs. Bailey at the embassy, because both of them were elders who loved His Royal Highness the Little Prince, they were subconsciously planning for Ax.
With this tacit cooperation, one thing was decided directly without any controversy.
That is, His Royal Highness Akers was directly at the Marshal's Mansion and Chen Jingxing would hold the ceremony, and he would not return to the embassy before and between.
Crown Prince Calvin had read the version they had discussed, and for some unknown reason, he did not mention any dissatisfaction or suggestion about the arrangement.
So when Akers received a communication from the Shvik Palace, and the person of the communication was his emperor's father, he was completely unprepared.
"Your birthday banquet was held in the Marshal's Mansion, which shows that Chen Jingxing will attach great importance to you, which makes me very pleased." Augustine the Great is handsome, and his face back then is not recognizable on the holographic screen, and his actual age cannot be seen.
"But," he said, his face suddenly became extremely serious, "even the engagement ceremony is completely held in the Marshal's Mansion, that would be too inappropriate!" β
"We'll be ...... at Olbi's church," Akers hastened to explain, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Since the final banquet is held in the Marshal's Mansion, let Chen Jingxing pick you up at the embassy and take you to the church." Augustine the Great was obviously not discussing this matter with Ax, he had already made a decision for his son.
Of course, it is a good thing that Chen Jing attaches importance to Ax, but if the embassy is not even allowed to come forward for the engagement ceremony, will Carter and the federal people guess that Akers and the other members of Carter's royal family are not on good terms?
In order to avoid such embarrassment, Augustine the Great demanded that Ax must stay at the embassy at least three days in advance!
"Karl was well aware of this, but he didn't inform me, and if I hadn't asked Mr. Bryan to ask, would you still be going to keep me in the dark?"
Axes had a special weakness and fear of this "cheap" father, so he naturally did not dare to resist in front of him, so he could only bow his head and say that he would obey the arrangement of Augustine the Great.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Coming out of his room, Ax had completely forgotten about the "nervous" thing.
Because he began to worry that he didn't know what would happen to him when he moved into the embassy - after all, there was Princess Rebecca and Crown Prince Calvin, who felt even more dangerous!
Xiao Zhengtai was waiting in his room for Ax to end the communication.
His model of the downtown airrail system in Orb has been completed for several days and is becoming the new favorite of the little ones. Of course, it has also become the new favorite of the little wolf cub!
As the train moves on the tracks in the sky, shuttling between the "tall buildings", you can see a small furball chasing the turning train carriage on the carpet.
The empty rail doesn't make too loud noises during the journey, and it is right next to it to dub the small train itself.
"Whew...... Whoop...... Whoop...... "The sound rises and falls as the train goes up and down, and it sounds quite joyful."
But the little guy's lively and cute little figure and cry did not arouse Akes's attention, in fact, he was in a daze as he walked, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhengtai holding him, Akers would have almost walked into the model.
When the little wolf cub saw that Akers had "answered the phone" and returned, it raised its little head and looked at the train that was still moving between the tall buildings, and there was a hint of hesitation in its heart, but finally it overcame its instinct to chase its prey and ran to Akers' side.
It first rubbed Ax's pants with its little head, squeezed Arkes's slippers with its little buttocks, and saw that he didn't react, so it began to pick up his trouser legs and beg for hugs and attention.
This time Akers finally came to his senses, and he bent down to pick up the little wolf cub and kissed it on the forehead.
"Whoa!" The little wolf cub who got the kiss was so happy that it stretched its little head forward, and before Akes could retreat, it stretched out its pink little tongue to lick Akers' chin.
"Haha...... It's so itchy...... Miaoer! Being made so troubled by the little wolf cub, Ax finally laughed.
Xiao Zhengtai stood next to him, looked up at Akers, who was smiling but still worried in his eyes, and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
β¦β¦
When Chen Jing returned to the Marshal's Mansion in the evening, he already knew what had happened in the afternoon and the decision of Emperor Augustine.
Chen Jing understood that this time was actually a temptation from the other party - to test Axes, but also to test Chen Jing himself.
If Ax disagrees, or even rebels against Augustine the Great, the other party will know that the current Ax is no longer the little prince who was controlled by him and did not dare to have the slightest sense of self.
What awaits Axes will surely be more pressure, trouble, and even intrigue from Augustine the Great. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and they may not be able to dodge every trick deliberately made by the other party.
Augustine the Great's move is to kill two birds with one stone, not only to find out whether his youngest son is still obedient, but also to find out whether Chen Jing is willing to make concessions in the process of defending the little prince.
If he does not agree to the other party's request, then it means that even if Chen Jing likes Axes again, he will not have any compromises and concessions to the Carter royal family.
After all, just let the little prince go to the embassy to live for a few days, and if he didn't agree to such a trivial matter, could he expect Chen Jing's support for other things?
In this way, Augustine the Great will re-determine where the benefits of this marriage will be, and he may also intensify and deepen his influence on Chen Jing by controlling Ax.
In such a situation, it is irrational to analyze it from any aspect.
Judging from all trade-offs, letting the little prince temporarily live in the embassy can temporarily solve the problem and eliminate suspicion.
Chen Jing looked at Akes, who seemed to be sitting on the sofa with little energy, and gently touched his head.
Akers raised his head and looked at Chen Jing, he didn't know why, but suddenly he had a courage again, he heard himself say: "General, I want to stay at the embassy three days in advance, can you send me over?" β
- As long as the general sends him, he feels very secure and is not afraid at all!
Chen Jing was silent for a few seconds, and then replied: "I will send you over for one night, and the next morning, I will come to pick you up and go home." 166 Reading Network
