When Saloman appeared at the door, it attracted the attention of many people, and because of the aura of the Dominator, the guests who were still talking about each other unconsciously turned their eyes over.

The slanted sword eyebrows, the hidden sharp eyes, the thin and lightly pursed lips, the angular outline, the slender and tall but not rough figure, and the dress with gold patterns on a black background made him like an eagle in the night, exuding a strong force that dominates the world between his gestures.

But under the momentum of this powerful ruler, everyone found that this time the regent did not come alone, and there was another person standing side by side beside him.

I saw that the man's eyebrows were picturesque, his face was handsome, and his appearance seemed to be a little green, but the inadvertent light in his black eyes made people dare not underestimate it. A black and dense hair is pulled up by a headband woven with gold thread and hangs down the back of his head, and under a pair of string moon eyebrows is a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be drunk but not drunk.

This person and the regent wore a dress of the same color with gold on a black background, except for the slight difference in details, which made people know that this was a pair at a glance.

The two stood side by side, but he was not suppressed by the regent's powerful aura, but the two complemented each other and complemented each other, faintly forming a small world where no one could insert/not/enter/go.

Shangguan Gongqing was already stunned when the regent appeared—although she said that she wanted to give up that hopeless crush, but how could the years of love be forgotten in just a few months?

When she was rejected by Saloman, Shangguan Gongqing could also use her favorite ruler and didn't like anyone else, although she said that she took care of a pet, but it was just a pet, and she couldn't fight for it, and she probably couldn't blame it on the species.

But...... Now the young man who appeared next to Saroman shattered Shangguan Gongqing's self-deception. Noticing the gentle and soft gaze of the young man beside him, Shangguan Gongqing only felt sour in his heart, and at the same time, waves of unwillingness appeared in his heart - Brother Saloman, I thought that no one would ever walk side by side with you, didn't you say that there is no one you like? But why......

“…… Who's that? Who is Brother Saroman's side? ”

······

Shangguan Gongyu didn't expect Saloman to attend the banquet with Tang Wuqiu in such a high-profile manner. But when I think about it, Saroman has personally admitted that the other party is his future partner, so it seems normal for this situation to happen?

However, seeing that Tang Wuqiu standing beside Saloman so openly, Shangguan Gongyu's fingers clenched unconsciously.

It is true that although she married Saloman's uncle and became Saloman's aunt, because Saroman was "different" from herself, she always thought that Saroman had special feelings for herself, and she felt guilty and uneasy at the same time.

Even she later introduced her half-sister Shangguan Gongqing to Saloman, in fact, Shangguan Gongyu was also confident that she had a special status in Saloman's heart.

Even Tang Wuqiu, who appeared later, did not feel that the other party would take her place.

But now, Shangguan Gongyu was suddenly a little uncertain.

Because she suddenly remembered that although she had made an appointment with Tang Wuqiu alone, she had never seen Tang Wuqiu and Saroman get along. And by this time, she had already noticed Saloman's gaze at Tang Wuqiu, such a focused gaze that was addictive...... She had never felt it at Saloman!

Don't...... Could it be that Saloman's feelings for himself ......

For a while, Shangguan Gongyu suddenly felt that his heartbeat was faster, and his breathing became a little disordered because of panic.

Then, she heard Shangguan Gongqing's muttered question.

It was as if a pot of boiling water was suddenly added to the ice cubes, and Shangguan Gongyu suddenly calmed down - no matter what, it was impossible for him to become the person next to Saloman, but this did not mean that Tang Wuqiu could become the regent princess. She is now the queen mother and a mother, and she must not panic for the little thoughts of her children's private feelings in her heart!

After settling down, Shangguan Gongyu's face had just the right amount of surprise, but just now because of the sudden ups and downs of love, her face was still a little pale, she looked at Shangguan Gongqing, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes: "Gongqing, don't you know?" Ah, I remember sending you a message before. ”

Shangguan Gongqing came back to her senses when she heard Shangguan Gongyu's words, and pursed her lips - she couldn't say that she deliberately blocked her messages because she didn't want to hear Shangguan Gongyu's hypocrisy, right? So she said, "...... Probably because I'm on another planet the signal isn't quite good. ”

Who believes the liars!

Shangguan Gongyu snorted coldly in his heart, and at the same time had a grudge against Shangguan Gongqing - if it weren't for this half-sister who didn't listen to discipline, why did things come to this point? She had already given Shangguan Gongqing some words when she learned that Saloman had a future partner, and at that time she hoped that Shangguan Gongqing would come back and make a big fuss, but there was no response, so in the end, she was so annoyed that she went out in person, but she was bumped into by Errol, which made another layer of estrangement between their mother and son......

Thinking of this, Shangguan Gongyu hid the ruthlessness in his eyes, but his voice became softer and slower: "No wonder, that Mr. Tang is the regent's unmarried partner, and they have been living together." ”

"What!?"

······

Although Shangguan Gongqing had a bad premonition in her heart when she saw them appear side by side, when she really heard it, she still couldn't bear it.

This exclamation was particularly noticeable in the already quiet hall, and many people's eyes were cast on it.

Even the two who were the focus of everyone's attention glanced over here.

Shangguan Gongqing noticed Saloman's gaze, and thought that the other party would say something, but he didn't expect the other party to skim over his face lightly before, as if it was just a routine matter, and he saw it completely in his eyes. On the contrary, the young man beside him glanced at him and nodded slightly to himself.

Does he know himself?

Shangguan Gongqing secretly doubted in her heart, but said: "It turns out that Brother Saloman likes that type, and they seem to be quite compatible." ”

Didn't make a big fuss?

Shangguan Gongyu was secretly surprised, she knew her half-sister very well, maybe she usually had brains, but once she encountered Saloman's matter, she automatically lowered her IQ to a negative number. Although she didn't want Shangguan Gongqing to lose face on such an occasion, she wanted to aim Shangguan Gongqing's artillery fire at Tang Wuqiu, but now it seems that ...... Shangguan Gongqing's attitude is really too full of care?

In fact, Shangguan Gongqing is not jealous, another obedient person appeared next to her favorite ruler and got the position she dreamed of, how could she not lose her heartache? But even so, so what?

has been in love with Saroman for so many years, Shangguan Gongqing thinks that she still understands the personality of the person she likes, since she clearly rejected herself at the beginning, then no matter what happens in the future, she Shangguan Gongqing has no chance.

Since she was able to study at Jialan University and was able to be guided by Bai Lao, it shows that she is not a brainless person. Besides, she has always been secretly at odds with Shangguan Gongyu, her half-sister, and she naturally has to go through the words that come out of Shangguan Gongyu's mouth first.

Oh, want to borrow your own hand?

Daydreaming!

Shangguan Gongqing hates Shangguan Gongyu more than this-always a look of being under her control! What about the first beauty of the empire and the first obedient person of the empire? That's just a temporary name, but it doesn't mean forever! Is it possible for Shangguan Gongyu to think that she is the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is a big fool?

······

Because Saroman and Tang Wuqiu came almost a little bit, after they arrived, it was the beginning of the banquet.

It was customary for everyone to dance the first dance after the emperor's speech, followed by various exchange activities.

Shangguan Gongyu watched Saroman and Tang Wuqiu slide onto the dance floor, although Tang Wuqiu's movements were still a little stiff in the eyes of a professional like her, but just relying on the man beside him was enough for everyone to ignore that discordant factor.

"Errol, we'll go too." Shangguan Gongyu glanced at his son.

She originally thought that Saroman would not bring Tang Wuqiu this time - after all, Tang Wuqiu was not from a big family, wouldn't it be embarrassing to bring it out? And because after so many months, Saroman did not announce that he had an unmarried partner, Shangguan Gongyu took it for granted that Tang Wuqiu was just the object of Saloman's "play".

Therefore, Shangguan Gongyu thought that this opening dance, whether out of etiquette or selfishness, should be danced by herself and Saroman - although she didn't like the content that treated her and Saroman as the object of conversation, Tang Wuqiu's appearance made her realize that she was actually enjoying this secret pleasure/feeling.

But Shangguan Gongyu, who was too self-righteous, never expected that Saloman would directly slap her in the face, so the original plan to let Errol and the Apsha of the Hemsworth family together also fell through.

The dignified Empress Dowager of the Empire, apart from the regent and the emperor, who else is qualified to dance with her for the first time?

······

"Hello, Your Excellency Regent." As soon as the dance music ended, Tang Wuqiu didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses walking over with his dance partner smiling.

"Minister Zhao, Professor Li." Saroman kept Tang Wuqiu by his side.

Zhao Xueran is one of the leaders of the Federal Republic this time, a ruler in the prime of life, and the dance partner around him is also from the Federal Republic, and he is the leading professor of the students who came to the exchange this time, and he is very talented in mecha design and mecha system.

Noticing Saloman's actions, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Zhao Xueran and Logge Lee, and at the same time, they overestimated the status of this black-haired and black-eyed young man even more: "I didn't expect Your Excellency to bring a companion this time." ”

In fact, this is what most of the people at the banquet want to say, but they are not those gossipy reporters, even if they are curious to death, in order to maintain their image, they will never ask around - and they don't dare to quq.

Saloman's hand was on Tang Wuqiu's waist, and because of the strength problem, the originally small distance between Tang Wuqiu and Saroman suddenly disappeared: "Ah, this is my partner." ”

From the time Zhao Xueran and Logge Lee walked towards Saloman and Tang Wuqiu, Quan quietly pricked up his ears and gasped in unison!

omg！

omg！

They heard you right!

His Excellency the Regent already has a partner?!

When did it happen?

Why didn't they hear the wind at all!

And in the crowd, Zhuang Shaofeng, who had just pushed off his dance partner who had just come with him and danced with his cousin, almost screamed like an obedient person at this moment!

Although Tang Wuqiu's image tonight has changed a lot, Zhuang Shaofeng recognized that it was the freshman he and Cao Yuanxi had seen before.

Originally, he was shocked that the other party actually attended the banquet with His Excellency the Regent, but he didn't expect the other party to throw him a "bomb" that was even more amazing than before!

He's about to be blown up into the sky, okay?

"Ahem......" Logge Lee felt extremely embarrassed, he had just asked a small question, but he didn't expect so many people to be paying attention to the results. While complaining about these "eavesdropping" guys, these people who collected their shock also found that the people of the original empire didn't seem to know about it, and it was no wonder that they hadn't heard anything about it before.

But...... It's really strange, since the regent is married, can the people still not know?

"Ah, it's a shame I didn't make it to your wedding." Logge Lee quickly adjusted.

"No, not married yet, because not yet an adult." Saloman corrected lightly.

Zhao Xueran: "......, why can I hear a deep regret from your words?" Hurry up and restore your moody setting!

······

"I'm tired of it—" Tang Wuqiu had just opened the door, and before he could sigh, he had changed from a young man in fancy clothes to a panda buried in a pile of clothes.

The dress was a little heavier than the usual clothes, Tang Wuqiu pushed his head twice, and found that he hadn't found the "exit" yet, so he simply flattened his stomach - he was tired tonight, since Saroman willfully dropped the "bomb", the next banquet he basically used to deal with those who inquired with all kinds of thoughts, and he couldn't even eat a few bites of dinner.

As he thought so, his stomach seemed to respond with a "grunt-".

Tang Wuqiu silently covered his face with a fat grab-sigh, hey, I'm so embarrassed (*/w╲*).

As soon as Saroman had ordered the housekeeper to do things, he turned his head and saw that there was only a pile of clothes left in his house.

With two strokes of the coat, vest and shirt, Saroman picked up the squinting panda with one hand.

"Hmm-" Tang Wuqiu snorted weakly.

"Grunt-" Tang Wuqiu's stomach screamed very loudly.

Tang Wuqiu: "( ̄△ ̄; ）！ ”

Saroman: "Poof. ”

Tang Wuqiu: "Q▽Q." ”

······

After the temporary suspension of the Mecha Tournament, the resumption of the tournament was not a battle between the contestants within the Empire, but a competition between the Empire and the Federation.

“…… Want to select contestants from our grade level? Because it was a weekend, Tang Wuqiu didn't have to go to school, so he simply stayed at home, so that he could temporarily escape the various eyes of others brought by the "regent's unmarried partner". In fact, he is now scrolling through the school forum, and it has been turned upside down. Although most of the students were not able to attend last night's banquet, it does not mean that the people at the banquet would not talk about such a "big" thing.

If it weren't for the principal's strong swiping of a notice just now, it is estimated that now #Tang Wuqiu# and #摄政王未婚伴侣#等话题还居高不下呢.

"You see?" Saroman put on his shirt and turned his head to look at Tang Wuqiu's light brain, "The movements are quite fast." ”

"Is this true?" Tang Wuqiu looked at Saloman, "Pick the contestants from the first grade?" ”

Based on his previous experience, shouldn't the top players be chosen to compete against each other in a competition like this between countries?

And their first-year students, as others say, have only learned some basic theoretical knowledge, and because it is the first semester, they have not had time to get started with the actual operation.

"Taller people from shorter" like this is not going to solve the problem.

"Who let the exchange group of the Federal Republic also have first-year students? For the sake of fairness, it is natural that we cannot 'bully the small with the big'. When Saloman said "bullying the small with the big", his tone was particularly full of deep meaning, "I guess I think it's all about thinking, everyone is a first-grader, so it's not much worse." ”

Tang Wuqiu realized that before this, the Federal Republic and the Empire had not sent students to exchange and study with each other, but they were basically fixed in the third year, and they were all from multiple majors, about two people in each major, which was very balanced.

However, the team that came to exchange and study this time included all grades from freshman to senior, and there were a total of eight members of the mecha design, manufacturing and manufacturing department and the mecha combat department.

From first to fourth, each grade has an obedient and dominant.

This combination alone is enough to let people know that they are "prepared".

Although they said that mecha was the top priority, and the teaching of the Empire had a lot to learn from, so they chose exchange students for each grade.

Tang Wuqiu naturally didn't believe such a statement, but most of the people of the empire believed it - the Federal Republic sent so many people to study and communicate, doesn't this mean that the empire is stronger than the federal republic?

And he is not the only one who doesn't believe in Tang Wuqiu.

For example, Darussalan and Bai Saro, who came over early in the morning and called it "Weekend & Double Date".

"That's why I don't like the imperial system, because this kind of centralization of power makes many imperial people accustomed to what the people in power above say, they listen to what they believe and do." Darussalan was a little indignant, and it was not surprising that people at that time were obsessed with the scenery on the tea table, because they used the best porcelain from before the Qianlong period. There is an episode about tea utensils in the development of Western tea culture: when tea is made with an English tea set, the tea cup tends to burst due to heat. Therefore, if you are using English porcelain, you should pour some cold milk into the teacup before you can make the tea with boiling water, because the cushioning effect of the cold milk will not damage the teacup. In order to show off the authentic Chinese tea utensils they use at a high price, some wealthy people often deliberately pour boiling water directly into the teacup in front of the guests before adding milk. Naturally, "tea first and milk later" is slowly seen as the rules for rich people to drink tea. On the contrary, "milk before tea" has become a symbol of tea drinking for the poor. For the wealthy, the detail of "tea before milk" must not be sloppy. "Entertain the dusk with tea, soothe the good night with tea, and welcome the morning with tea." Samuel Johnson's poem is enough to explain the great influence that the tea and porcelain they brought from China hundreds of years ago had on their way of life.

Dinner starts at five o'clock. Clean hands before guests are seated. In front of each guest there is a piece of dry bread to be used as a plate. Some extravagantly hollowed out the round bread as a bowl and gave it to the poor to eat after dinner.

The priest intercedes and then serves an appetizer, usually a salad, consisting of a variety of seasonal vegetables and sprinkled with a little white vinegar. The salad is over, and the bread and butter appear. The first course is usually a bowl of broth, and the second and third courses will have solid food, and if you are lucky enough to hunt, you will have game. No game, eat salted pork. Game includes roast suckling pig, stewed rabbit; There are roasted eels, trout, carp, roasted pigeons, roasted herons, roasted venison, and roasted cranes. What's more, there are roasted peacocks. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, not to mention. For dessert, it is a huge castle carved out of marzipan, as well as waffles, cakes, and seasonal fruits. In the evening, at eight o'clock, after dinner, there was a carnival party. Dancing and drinking, as well as mini-games. Of course, everyone was dressed decently, the ladies wore the most expensive jewelry in dress skirts, and the men wore decent suits.

I don't know if you feel that the life of the nobles is really boring, maybe it is because of this waste that it leads to loneliness and fall in the later period. But the reason why the exquisite afternoon is still used today must be a good time for everyone to relax in the usual intense work. 】
