The restaurant was set up next to the hall of the main house, and when Li Chen and the others slowly came to the restaurant with their own thoughts, Sissi was already standing at the door wearing a white dress and waiting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Li Chen and them coming, Qian Qian took two steps forward, folded her hands, put her right hand on the top and placed it on the lower side of her left waist, leaned over slightly, moved her hand slightly, and gently bent her knees to perform an ancient blessing ceremony. "Ladies and gentlemen, Sissi is polite."

Sissi deliberately put on a light makeup today, and it is estimated that someone made a small report that there was a beautiful girl among her friends, so she started to compare.

Originally, Sissi was already very beautiful, otherwise she would not have won the title of the first beauty in the universe in the Rice universe, and today she only used a daisy pen on the tip of her eyebrows, and gently hooked it upward, giving her already beautiful eyes a touch of elegance. Apply a clear layer of lipstick and add a little blush. She never used jewelry, but today she also wore a pair of white pearl earrings on her small earlobes, and hung a string of white pearl necklaces around her neck that exuded a round and soft light, like ivory, lining her slender neck like a white swan.

And Sun Lei, although they had some psychological preparations, suddenly saw a girl who was more beautiful than any woman they had ever seen, and elegantly gave them a salute that they had never seen before, and they were immediately in a hurry. Sun Lei, who was walking in the front, even wanted to reach out to help, but after stretching out halfway, he found that something was wrong, and he was very embarrassed to reply with a gift exactly the same as that of Sissi, this time it was Sissi's turn to be stunned, is the etiquette boy of the earth also a blessing ceremony? Seeing Qian Qian looking at him suspiciously, Li Chen couldn't help but laugh, shook his head at Qian Qian, and signaled her not to care about this.

The other people who followed behind were even more unbearable, and they all hid behind Li Chen, but instead exposed Wu Yuwei, who was full of worries at the end, and Guan Jing and Sun Jiawei, who were accompanying her, in front of Qianqian, the four girls faced each other directly, Sun Jiawei and Guan Jing were okay, hurriedly changed a nod salute, and quickly dodged, and Wu Yuwei seemed to have only this girl in her eyes since she saw Qianqian, and she didn't notice anything else. And Qian Qian looked at the most beautiful of the three women among Li Chen's friends, and did not hide, but generously gave Wu Yuwei the same salute as just now.

"Look at your appearance, it should be Miss Wu Yuwei that Brother Chen often says, hello, hehe, Miss Wu is really beautiful." In Sissi's mind, what Brother Chen likes is what he likes, and the heir to the throne of the Rice Empire is not monogamous.

"Miss Sissi, hello, I'm Wu Yuwei, you're much more beautiful than me." Wu Yuwei saw Qianqian's whole person, her heart was completely cold, her appearance, figure, temperament, and voice, she was not as good as the girl in front of her in any aspect.

There is indeed a girl by Li Chen's side, and it is obvious that this girl has been recognized by all the Li Chen family, otherwise, Li Chen would not directly call her "madam".

Wu Yuwei's heart suddenly rose with a burst of sadness after despair, she knew that whether it was her family or herself, she would never allow her husband to be shared with others.

She looked at Li Chen and wanted to accuse him, but when the words came to her lips, she found that she had no right to accuse him. After all, Li Chen confessed the existence of his fiancée to the class at the beginning. From beginning to end, he didn't try to hide anything, and when she got along with Li Chen, Li Chen didn't have anything to be rude.

"This enemy ......" Wu Yuwei still bit her lip and looked up like Li Chen, Li Chen was still standing there quietly, seeing Wu Yuwei looking at herself, Li Chen nodded to her with a smile.

And a few people around him also looked weird, especially Sun Lei, who couldn't wait to smoke his stinky mouth, why did he say so much, it's over.

"Alright, let's go in. Lao Li, ready to serve food and wine. Li Chen hurriedly interrupted the embarrassment at this time, and invited everyone to come into the house and take a seat.

The dining room is large, in the same Ming Dynasty style, with a large round table in the middle, on which are already arranged a circle of all kinds of cold cuts, and around this table are nine high-backed openwork chairs, behind each chair stands a maid dressed as a professional maid. Seeing everyone coming in, they stepped forward one by one to lead the guests who had been arranged long ago to take their seats, and handed hot towels and tea one after another.

But Sissi didn't take a seat, she kept standing beside Li Chen, doing the same thing as the other maids, and from time to time she helped other maids to add tea to Tashi and the others. At this time, Tashi, who was sitting in the seat of the guest of honor, coughed and said to Li Chen beside him, "Li Chen, why don't you invite Miss Sissi to sit down." ”

Hearing Tashi's words, Sissi smiled and said softly to Tashi Wanfu: "Thank you Tashi Gongzi, Sissi can't." ”

"Sissi sit down." Li Chen said to Qian Qian with some embarrassment, because the whole table and even Wu Yuwei cast dissatisfied glances at him.

"Brother Chen, there is no way for Sissi to break the rules." In the royal education that Sissi received since she was a child, she was never allowed to dine with other men.

Li Chen couldn't wait to hit his head on the ground after hearing this, he was really stupid today, and he made mistakes in a row. But it can only be regarded as a sudden realization, "Sissi, I'm sorry, I forgot, you go back first." ”

Hearing Li Chen's arrangement, Qian Qian checked the tableware in front of Li Chen a little, and after confirming that it was correct, she took three steps back and then bent her knees, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please use it slowly, and Qian Qian will retire." Then he got up and walked slowly out of the restaurant.

"Li Chen, why don't you let these girls go out too, we're a little unaccustomed to it." Sun Lei cautiously proposed to Li Chen, and immediately got everyone's nods in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Chen gently made a gesture of waving his hand to several maids, who quietly withdrew from the restaurant, and after the last one went out, he closed the restaurant.

Seeing that there were only his own people in the restaurant, he really took a long breath, leaned back on the chair, patted his chest, and said, "Li Chen, you are really not human, using such a beautiful girl as a servant." And why is there such a big rule in your family, even your wife can't eat with good friends? It's too old-fashioned. ”

Li Chen looked at Zhenzhen, and then at Wu Yuwei's somewhat dim eyes. smiled bitterly a few times: "My family is a bit complicated, and to this day, it still retains many rules from ancient times. Sissi has grown up with me since I was born, and I am the wife that my family has already recognized, so I can come out to meet you, but I was negligent. I'm going to slowly get Sissi used to the customs here, and I'm not going to force her. ”

"As for where those handmaidens came from, to be honest, I don't know. However, the girls in my inner house are all the same as Sissi, who have been by my side since I was a child, but Sissi has been with me since I was born. ”

"What age is it...... Guan Jing, who was straightforward, whispered on the side, he was already very sensitive to find that Wu Yuwei's mood was very low at the moment, and he looked a little upset for his friend.

"I know what you're trying to say? Actually, I don't want to. This is already the case. These situations are normal on my family's side, and I have a cousin who has several times more maids than me. I've just kept up with these maids who grew up together. What's more, when they appeared with me, I hadn't learned to speak, how could I refuse. ”

"In any case, I already have a few girls around me who have grown up together, this is already a fact, I can't give them up just because I came here to live, men are always responsible."

Li Chen half-truthfully explained that in fact, he could have temporarily deceived Sissi's existence, but his self-esteem did not allow him to lie to his friends about these things, not to mention, these things, as time passed, would be discovered by them sooner or later.

At this time, Li Zhongqun gently pushed the door open, and Li Chen glanced at it and nodded. It turned out that the time for serving food had come.

Soon, more than a dozen maids brought up plates of dishes with various aromas, and Li Zhongqun wanted to sing the name of the dish just now, but was stopped by Li Chen. At this moment, more is better than less, who knows if these people will have any thoughts after hearing the name of the dish.

I don't know how the intelligent robot that plays the role of a chef does it, maybe because the ingredients are all non-polluting ingredients transported by Arnold from other planets, and all kinds of dishes, whether meat or vegetarian, are full of color, flavor, and flavor.

Cao Yuan, who claimed to be a foodie, had no scruples about his image, and at the same time praised vaguely, in his words, he had never heard of many dishes and ingredients, and asked Li Chen where he got the ingredients and where he invited the chef. In fact, Li Chen hadn't heard of it either, and it was estimated that Arnold got it from another planet. So I vaguely shifted the topic to drinking.

The wine is liquor, which is the 50-year-old cellar Moutai obtained by Arnold, Zhang Pojun thought that he was the youngest and volunteered to take on the task of pouring wine.

When Zhang Pojun poured the wine, the wine was already a little viscous, and the thick sauce aroma made several girls also make a fuss to taste a cup, and after everyone filled the glass, the opening remarks were said by Li Chen.

"Cheers to our friendship for a long time"

Li Chen drank it all with his wine glass, and the boys were also arrogant and learned from each other, and they all drank it in one gulp.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Yuwei also picked up the white wine glass without saying a word, poured the wine into her mouth in one gulp, completely ignoring the wine that had been prepared for the girl at hand and Guan Jing and Sun Jiawei, who put down the wine glass after gently dipping their lips.

After drinking, Wu Yuwei sat back in her seat, acting a little abnormal, although she was talking and laughing at the table, but everyone felt that Wu Yuwei, who was sitting on the seat with a smile on her face at the moment, seemed to have only one shell left, dominated by another soul, and was performing this happy girl role to her heart's content.

Tashi and the others were a little unclear, but Sun Lei knew that his sister was in the pain of falling out of love because of Sissi's existence. But he couldn't help it, because according to his observation, Li Chen was only at the stage of having a slight affection for his sister, and Wu Yuwei had been in contact with Li Chen a few times, and the two had never even gotten along alone, and he didn't understand why Wu Yuwei acted as if she had been abandoned by Li Chen.

Sun Lei could neither comfort Wu Yuwei nor accuse Li Chen of abandoning the mess. Seeing that his sister was like a marionette, Sun Lei, who felt sorry for his sister, endured a round of wine, and said to Li Chen, "Let's go out and ......."

Li Chen nodded, took the lead in leaving his seat, instructed everyone to eat and drink well, and then came to the corridor outside the restaurant with Sun Lei one after another.

Li Chen took Sun Lei far away from the restaurant and came to the hexagonal pavilion on the lake, which was suitable for chatting and finding out if anyone was quietly following by observing the only curved bridge on the lake.

"Li Chen, what is your identity, and what do you think of Wu Yuwei?" Sun Lei had just sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and he couldn't wait to ask him the question he wanted to know the most.

"I won't mention my identity, you know that I belong to a big family that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years." Li Chen did not explain his identity.

"What about Wu Yuwei? Have you noticed that she is very wrong today. Sun Lei didn't insist, after his grandfather talked to him, he himself had a vague feeling that Li Chen definitely had something that his grandfather would scruple about. Since Li Chen didn't say anything, he simply asked about Wu Yuwei.

"How do you ask me to express Wu Yuwei's question?" Li Chen was a little entangled, so he simply left the stone bench, came to the railing of the pavilion, propped himself on the railing with his hands, and hung his head to look at the lake.

At this time, it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, except for the light from the street lamps of Ginkgo Avenue by the lake, the other lights were not lit, because tomorrow was fifteen, the moon was already very bright tonight, the moonlight was sprinkled on the lake, and the light of the stars flickered with the water waves.

"Honestly, every guy likes to be around pretty girls. She is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality, she is a very good girl, but I never thought about what it would be like to live with her in the future. Li Chen whispered about his feelings for Wu Yuwei, perhaps he didn't notice it, and his voice revealed a faint melancholy.

"The reality is that she and I have only just started to get in touch, and we may have some good feelings for each other, but on the whole, the relationship between me and her is just better. How long have we known each other, and how unforgettable can we have? Frankly speaking, if I didn't have Sissi, maybe in a year or two, I might pursue Wu Yuwei, or I would have a natural relationship. But now the situation is that I already have Sissi, she was personally identified by my mother before her death, and the whole family recognizes her as my wife. There's no one to compare to Sissi, no! ”

"If you don't look at her performance tonight, I would have the same rating as you just did. But if you look at her tonight, she's like a woman who is forced to smile after a broken love, and to be honest, I think it's a little incredible, who will tell me what's going on? Sun Lei also learned from Li Chen to come to the railing, chattering very madly.

"The word love is not shallow, and the parties are not clear, who can say clearly?" Li Chen couldn't explain it, but he knew something very clearly.

"Sun Lei, if you really want to talk about this issue, I think it would be more appropriate to say this."

"Oh, tell me what's going on?" Sun Lei asked eagerly like a man in the water grabbing a piece of wood.

"The end is known before it begins, and it ends before it begins." Li Chen pondered it and slowly spit out these two sentences, as if these two sentences were as heavy as Mount Tai, and his heart was a little out of breath.

After listening to Li Chen's confession, Sun Lei was stunned for a long time, then looked at Li Chen deeply a few times, nodded, and then said in a slightly dull voice, "Let's go back, I'm a little worried about her." ”

Walking on the stone bridge, Sun Lei suddenly asked, "Li Chen, is your family polygamous?" ”

"Well, so to speak, other people don't necessarily want to have multiple wives, but I am an exception, because I am the only heir of the family, and I must marry a certain number of wives according to the system." Li Chen replied truthfully, yes, the third heir to the throne of the Rice Empire, according to the etiquette law, he can be a wife, or a queen of four palaces and twelve concubines, as for other women, they are not counted as his wife, they can only be counted as lovers. That is to say, only the twelve concubines of the first queen, the fourth palace and his children can have the right to inherit, and the children of the lover can be his heirs in other aspects, but the imperial inheritance cannot be touched.

"Where's Miss Sissi? What about your other valet maids? In ancient times, there were dowry girls or bed warmers and the like, so are you personal maids? Sun Lei suddenly remembered that Li Chen had mentioned a few personal maids just now.

"Sissi is my wife and my only wife. The other valets will always be valet maids, and it is impossible to even have children. Li Chen was a little melancholy.

"Why can't you have children?"

"Because they are destined to have the right and ability to be mothers from the moment they are born, I have thought of many ways, but the ancestral system is like this, and I can't heal their bodies."

Li Chen remembered that he had secretly spent nearly a hundred years in the Rice universe to study the fertility problem of humans, and when he was about to get results, he was found that his grandfather found out that he was doing research on the fertility genes of biochemical people, and his grandfather was furious, and ruthlessly destroyed all the information, data and scientists involved in the research, and even he was grounded for 5 years.

Remembering that when he hugged Sissi and cried in the courtyard where he was under house arrest, Sissi kissed herself gently and said: "Brother Chen, Yushang and they were originally created by human beings against the sky, and the universe did not give them that trace of life, anyway, we live and die together, why force you to have children." ”

"Hiss......" After Sun Lei heard Li Chen say this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "Your ancestor is really ruthless, I really pity those girls." ”

"The family is big, some rules seem unreasonable, but from another perspective it is reasonable, if the personal maid is pregnant and gives birth to a child, how to solve the identity of the child? You must know that every personal maid has grown up with the male owner from a baby, and she is inseparable, and this relationship is beyond any woman. If a big family can't even control its own bloodline, then the family is not far from extinction. The most painful lesson in the history of this incident is that even my own family was nearly destroyed because of the son of a waitress. ”

Li Chen replied lightly, not to mention anything else, such a thing has happened in the Rice Empire.

A long time ago, it may have been a genetic mutation, and one of Li Chen's ancestors' maids actually gave birth to a son.

This child grew up to be more favored than the crown prince, the son of the empress, and in the end coveted the throne, because his status as the son of a lady-in-waiting, although he was supported by the emperor at that time, was opposed by all the imperial family and all the ministers. As a result, the son of the radical maid brazenly launched a genetic attack on the capital planet of Rice, causing the entire Ried royal family to almost disappear in the long river of history.

Fortunately, the ancestor of Li Chen's lineage was not in the capital star at that time, and later, after the son of the maid wiped out the entire royal family, he found that he was also genetically attacked in the temporary counterattack of the imperial family, and soon faced death.

As a last resort, he sent a message to his brothers of the same clan, who were calling on the military and civilians to set things right, to return to China and succeed to the throne, and died soon after. Since then, the rule that waitresses are not allowed to have children has become an iron law of the Rieter royal family, even if there is a genetic mutation, it is the result of the death of mother and child, and no one dares to study this technology.
