Chapter 453: An Uninvited Guest at the Tea Party
The current situation, obviously, is a good situation for Su Mu's forces in all aspects, and even the restaurant run by Tina has some secret transactions going on in secret.
Therefore, in this bright spring light, Su Mu made a special trip to find a breezy day, specially applied for a vacation from the academy and the alchemy laboratory at the same time, and made a special trip to stay with his fiancΓ©e Su Tong.
Today is another day of the afternoon tea party in the princess's mansion, and when Su Mu has opened Su Tong's heart little by little, Su Tong has finally handed over the tea party created by himself to the emperor's brother Su Can to operate.
To this day, even if Su Tong does not really come forward, Su Can can also preside over the overall situation of the tea party, and maneuver freely between various upper-class children.
"So...... Is the Supreme House no longer paying attention to you?"
As the closest person to Su Mu, Su Tong obviously understands why Su Mu is so busy. So today's Su Mu has completely put aside his work, so as to concentrate on accompanying Su Tong. Su Tong had naturally guessed that there was some kind of change in the pressure on Su Mu's head.
"It's not that I have completely given up paying attention, but since I have never been in contact with the official residence again, and I have not even had anything to do with any administrators at all, and we have also taken the initiative to report to the House of Representatives in addition to the project of the alchemy laboratory. β
"Even if the current Supreme House side still hasn't dispelled its doubts about me, there are not many doubts left in the end. And most importantly, the fact that I took a leave of absence is not a great secret, and the House of Representatives can easily find out my whereabouts. β
"And when they confirmed, even on the days when I was on leave, I would just chat and drink tea with you at home. Such a life without any new ideas...... Naturally, they couldn't look at me with suspicion!"
......
As Su Mu said, although Su Mu and Su Tong did not mean to appear at the tea party in person, they were hiding on the roof of the princess's mansion, but they were really sitting and drinking tea opposite each other.
With the enhancement of the dragon's essence blood, Su Tong was obviously no longer as cold as he once was.
Therefore, in the spring cold that is still a little steep, Su Mu and the two of them are just wearing thin single clothes, gently watching the warm tea boiling in the small furnace on the table between the two, enjoying each other's rare time for two.
"Just cook it again. β
But also in this elegant scene, seeing that Su Mu was a little busy and didn't know how to make tea, Su Tong took the tea set in Su Mu's hand with some amusement. Then after gently extinguishing the flames under the tea pot, he poured two parts of clear tea soup with transparent color into the teacups in front of the two of them.
"And I seem to remember that you don't know how to taste tea at all, and you can't tell the difference between the quality of the soup, and you even think that fruit tea is the most delicious drink. β
There is no doubt that as a person born in the 21st century, Su Mu naturally knows nothing about the traditional and cumbersome tea ceremony, and the reason why the waiters are asked to bring tea sets is simply to cater to Su Tong.
About the tea itself...... Su Mu really didn't have the slightest ability to appreciate it!
Seeing that Su Tong easily dismantled himself, Su Mu didn't care about being completely confessed in front of Su Tong, but smiled and simply took a few pieces of preserved fruit and threw them into the tea soup, and then looked at Su Tong and said:
"There are always so many traditions in this world, and these traditions are really good for others, so even if I can't enjoy them, I don't need to avoid them completely. β
"Just like the cup of tea in front of me, although it is a bit nondescript after putting a few pieces of preserved fruit, at least it has a few sweet and sour tastes that I like best, so I naturally don't need to stubbornly reject it. β
......
Su Mu's words naturally meant something.
And Su Tong, who knew Su Mu best, understood the meaning of Su Mu's mouth in an instant, and also thought of something that had just happened recently.
"Jiang Lan and Mao Nier, because of their outstanding performance in the academy conference, they have been recruited by the military department in advance, and now they have gone to the Storm Corps and the Flames Corps respectively. And the same group of people who were recruited by the military department also included Lei Hao, Jerome, and Abate. β
"Now it seems that all the outstanding figures at this academy conference, except for Iriel, who has French nationality, and you, who is the tutor of the academy, have all received the attention of the military department. It didn't even go through the House of Representatives and the Speaker's Mansion before he was forcibly drafted into the military. β
"I don't know which big figure in the military is hiding behind this big move of the military department, or there is still a shadow of the parliament or the official residence?"
Regarding Jiang Lan and Mao Nier's arrangement, this is something that Wyatt has already stated at the beginning.
But just as Su Tong suspected, the actions of the Federal Military Department now have obviously gone beyond the scope of the secret arrangement, and it is simply a blatant snatch of talents from the academy.
Is it really something that Wyatt or the Supreme House can influence on such a huge event?
"We don't have to prioritise touching things that are still far away from us at this time. And whether it is Mao Nier or Jiang Lan, they are all companions who have grown up with me to this day. So no matter which side they are taken seriously, as long as they can climb up, it must be something that is extremely beneficial to us. β
"So the most important thing now is that you need to make a clear connection with any party, neither to show intimacy with the official residence, nor to accept the goodwill of the Supreme Court. Only when we are completely free from partisanship will those who have been branded by our line have the broadest avenue of ascension. β
......
Speaking of this, Su Mu suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Su Tong in front of him with some amusement, and then drank the hot tea in the cup that was no longer piping hot, and then continued:
"It's obvious that I made a special leave to accompany you, why bother to think about these things anymore?"
"Since we don't even bother to participate in the tea party today, we should stop thinking about these things that have no answers, and we might as well study them...... How to make fruit tea that children love to drink!"
Why do you want to study the fruit tea that children love to drink, it is naturally just as Su Tong decided on the way back, Su Mu and they must give birth to many lives in the future.
When Su Tong heard this, a little flush instantly appeared on his cheeks.
All of a sudden, even the mist steamed by the tea soup in front of Su Mu and Su Tong became ambiguous.
But at this time, the two of them are enjoying a rare moment of love sweetness. Now Su Tong and her personal guard chief Qin Wupian had to hurriedly bring the latest news over in the confusion of the prince Su Can.
"Your Excellency Su Mu, Your Highness, maybe you have to come forward in person at today's tea party in the house...... An unexpected uninvited guest has now come to the tea party uninvited. β
"Sally, a direct descendant of the Medici family, and his friend Nathanel from the Academy of Magic, are now coming to the tea party in the mansion, and they are now being received by His Royal Highness the Prince. β
