The rain fell for almost the whole day and did not slowly stop until the evening.

Ling Ping'an yawned lazily, looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the door, he looked at his cat, and said, "Little obedient ......"

"We haven't opened in a few days?"

"It seems like three days, right?!"

Meow!

The kitten barked softly.

Ling Ping'an also sighed.

Last month, I earned a single day on my utility bills!

He scratched his head and began to hesitate whether to continue to apply for the 'special subsidy for college students' entrepreneurship next month.

No way, the bookstore business is too bleak.

If you apply again, it seems a bit shameless.

It is tantamount to blatantly picking up the national wool!

"Why don't you ......" Ling Ping'an looked at his pet: "Let's not apply......"

If you think about it carefully, his monthly allowance adds up to more than 7,000.

Living expenses are enough.

As long as you don't go out and don't go out to the waves, you don't pay the IQ tax, and there is no pressure at all.

Meow!

The kitten barked softly.

"Face the wind!" The phone rang.

Ling Ping'an picked it up and looked at it.

400100, the number of the Federal Commission for Meritorious Children of the Imperial Empire.

His face was a little ugly.

"Again?" He frowned.

It's just that he has no choice but to smile bitterly and pick up the phone.

"Hello ......"

"Hello......" A sweet female voice came from the other side of the phone: "Young Master Ling, I am Qin Keqing, the personal secretary of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Rou'an......"

"The last ...... you called"

"Oh......" Ling Ping'an thought about it, it seems that there is such a thing? So he asked, "Is there something wrong with Secretary Qin?" ”

"That's the case...... the other party said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Rou'an and His Majesty the Emperor, the descendants of the emperor's meritorious deeds are in their hearts......"

"I plan to hold a fraternity of meritorious descendants in the imperial capital in the middle of next month......"

"At that time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Her Majesty will come to ...... in person"

"I don't know, are you free?"

Ling Ping'an listened, and suddenly one head and two big.

Association?

One terrifying memory after another came to his mind.

Boring drinking party......

Flowery women......

The descendants of the nobility who opened their mouths were 'small goals' and 'small meanings'......

Also, there are bright and blind luxury cars at the door.

Of course, the most important thing is that the superficial looks.

Anyway, Ling Ping'an's impression of the sorority is very bad!

Comparisons are everywhere, coveting is everywhere.

Everyone is like a peacock on the screen, surrounding those few focus figures.

What's more, the food of the sorority is really unpalatable!

Cold food that tastes like plastic......

A glass of old wine that smells and gets drunk......

There is also the smell of fat powder in the air......

And that's just the fraternity of the Quang Nam Governorate!

God knows what will become of the fraternity of the imperial capital?

Anyway, this kind of thing is something that spiritual peace can avoid.

So, he immediately flatly refused: "Thank you for the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess......"

"Flattered under ......"

"It's just ......" he thought for a moment and said, "There are some things that I haven't dealt with on my side......"

"Please also ask Secretary Qin to understand......"

After saying that, he hung up the phone as if he were running for his life.

Then he patted his chest.

"It's terrible......" he looked at his pet and had a lingering palpitation: "It's terrible! ”

Association?

Spare him!

It's a pure waste of time, a waste of energy.

In the end, I even came back hungry......

It's miserable!

Appalling!

Anyway, after going there once at the age of sixteen, Ling Ping'an resolutely didn't go a second time!

Interesting?

Listen to other people's bragging!

Then look at a group of people, with the eyes of shopping in the supermarket, and look at themselves.

He's not a commodity!

I refuse to be a commodity, too!

Meow!

The little one jumped into his master's arms and rubbed it affectionately.

Seems to agree with this very much!

Yes......

How can a humble mortal be worthy of his master?

……………………

Qin Keqing listened to the beep in the microphone......

Her pretty face was gradually stained with frost.

It's the second time!

This is the second refusal!

Moreover, the refusal was extremely decisive!

Even His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can't let him come to the imperial capital?

This master's spectrum is inevitably too big!

At this time, the red phone on the desk rang.

Qin Keqing immediately grabbed it and said in an extremely respectful tone: "Weichen is Qin Keqing......"

"Yes......"

"Ling Gongzi refused......" Qin Keqing bowed his head extremely respectfully: "Yes...... He said there was something to deal with......"

"Wechen is guilty......"

"Your Highness...... Do you want Weichen to go in person? ”

"Good...... Wechen understood......"

Hanging up the phone, Qin Keqing wiped the sweat drops from the corners of his forehead.

Then she looked at the computer screen, which was completely obscured by the two large top secret letters.

"What the hell is going on?" She thought.

Last month, everything of this first-class meritorious descendant was still available for reference.

But now......

Everything about him is already top secret.

And it's top secret at the highest level!

The Federal Committee for Meritorious Children of Jiangcheng City once wanted to visit in person.

As a result, a restraining order was pasted on the face.

The Black Guard declared that any unauthorized disturbance was a 'danger to national security'!

Even the Federal Commission for Children of Merit.

Nor should they be approached without approval or permission.

And this approval authority is actually in the hands of the governor of the black guard.

This is so abnormal!

What is even more abnormal is the attitude of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

This time, as far as Qin Keqing knew, the sorority was not planned.

It has not been a long time since the Imperial Meritorious Children Committee has held such an empire-wide fraternity.

Over the past 30 years, similar fraternities have been organized and held locally.

The Imperial Meritorious Children Committee is responsible for only one thing - to coordinate and arrange the employment, love and childbirth of meritorious children nationwide, and to provide financial subsidies.

And this time, the eldest princess suddenly took the lead to hold a nationwide meritorious children's association.

This came as a surprise.

Even more surprising was ......

After this first-class meritorious service, which is now all top secret, it seems that he is the only person who has been invited by the eldest princess herself.

All others are notified by mail by the Committee for Meritorious Children.

Only this one, she personally called and invited, and was cleanly refused!

The reason for refusal is 'I still have something to deal with'.

That's an exaggeration.

Thing?

What is more important than coming to the imperial capital?

This is an honor that many people dream of!

Qin Keqing couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, I shouldn't give up......" she thought.

As the personal secretary of the eldest princess of Joan, she is well aware of the character of her lord.

If you want to do something, you must do it!

The resolute personality is not like a woman, and even many men may not have the perseverance and decisiveness of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Otherwise, after the death of the first emperor, it will not be her regent.

Although, the current royal family rules vertically and never interferes in the affairs of the court.

But there are still a lot of things going on in the royal family.

Just the normal foreign affairs activities every year are very testing.

Not to mention, the committees directly led by the royal family are the direct connection between the mainland and the independent kingdoms.

A vast federal empire capable of lasting three hundred years without splitting.

In addition to the great unification cultural tradition and the practical interest ties that have existed since ancient times, the most important connection is the royal family.

The idea of loyalty to the monarch, even now, is still the dominant ideology within the empire.

After all, Emperor Taizu set a good example back then, publicly declaring that 'heaven listens to me, and my people listen', directly linking the source of legitimacy of the monarch's power to all the people in the world.

In this way, the Son of Heaven became the Son of the people.

Commanded by heaven, it became commanded by the people.

But this, in turn, put extremely strict demands on the royal family.

Since it is ordered by the people, the royal family must behave in line with the expectations of the people.

And the committees directly led by the royal family are the windows to show their image to the outside world.

And since the regent of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, under her leadership, all committees have undergone drastic reforms.

It gives a new look to the royal family.

It's not that she is a woman, and she doesn't want to break with tradition and cause a constitutional crisis.

I'm afraid that as the empress, it may not be impossible to reign in the world!

Thinking of this, Qin Keqing stood up, she walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked downstairs.

The eldest princess's car was slowly driving out of the courtyard.

"Sure enough......" Qin Keqing thought, "Your Highness will not compromise easily......"

The direction of that car was the residence of the Black-clad Guard!

………………………………………………

Ling Ping'an took his mobile phone and ordered a takeout.

He was still a little scared.

I simply put my phone in a drawer.

With a deep sigh, he refreshed the author's background on the computer.

25……

The growth rate is gratifying!

In the case of pure nakedness, such a speed made him feel at ease.

So, he comfortably cocked Erlang's legs, and then turned on the TV.

Now, it's seven o'clock.

It's news time, and he's used to watching the news.

On the TV screen, a place resembling a trench appeared.

Several large-caliber howitzers, which appear in front of the camera.

Some soldiers in military uniforms were nervously preparing in the trenches.

One shell after another was pushed into the breech.

The camera pulls forward, and on the vast field, one armored cluster after another, is rolling forward, at least hundreds of tanks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The artillery began to roar, and shells were fired, sending steel hulls flying.

Ling Ping'an looked at it and opened his mouth wide.

At this time, the voiceover began to appear: "Ladies and gentlemen, what you see on the screen is the border between the Northern Tianzhu Republic and the Southern Tianzhu Kingdom......"

"It is reported that the Northern Tianzhu Republic accuses the Southern Tianzhu Kingdom of being responsible for the multiple tragedies that occurred on its border a month ago......"

"The Southern Tianzhu Kingdom refuted the relevant accusations of the Northern Tianzhu Republic, and alleged that this was done by extremists in the Northern Tianzhu territory......"

Ling Ping'an looked at it and sighed: "It's fighting again......"

In his memory, the Tianzhu subcontinent was similar to Kunlun Prefecture.

A whole bunch of countries, fighting each other.

Almost every year, a news story comes out.

"Why can't we stop fighting?" Ling Ping'an shook his head.

What's so good about fighting?

He couldn't figure it out!

If there's something, can't you sit down and discuss it?

Pity......

Others spoke softly, so they could only sigh twice in the bookstore.
