Chapter 114: new Year

The New Year is one of the most important festivals of the Sheng Empire, and the government will hold a parade on this day. Aristocrats from all over the country will visit the king to meet the queen, and the royal family will open part of the palace to entertain guests.
And what the most common people talk about is who is the lucky one who can be received by the Queen every year. At the end of the year, the Queen will meet with ten civilians selected by drawing lots and listen to their opinions or suggestions.
This is the tradition of the royal family. Although there are more and more elements of the show today, it has become the highlight of the year because it is enough to entertain the public. Participants with ambitions and ambitions hope to take this opportunity to show their brilliance, but to join in the excitement is just to see the queen at close range.
At this time in previous years, the whole country was already filled with a festive atmosphere, but this year was different. Since the announcement of Hezhou's independence, the atmosphere of the empire has been sluggish. Although the celebration was held as usual, the royal family canceled this year's noble gatherings, and it was a bit cautious in attitude.
Just when the public guessed whether the link to the civilian population would also be cancelled, the royal family announced the list of people to be interviewed. In order to ensure the safety of the Queen, the identity background of all civilians will be investigated in detail before the interview. This year's procedures are particularly strict.
Ten civilians were finally able to enter the palace after undergoing a thorough security check. Four guards sentry sent the to the queen's reception room. This is the place where the Queen entertains foreign guests, politicians and interviews every day. This time the interview is also live on satellite.
During this period of tension, the guard of the palace was more strict, and ten people were taken to the lounge to wait for the queen's summons.
Flower cluster rushed back from the headquarters in Hezhou in the morning. After dealing with the backlog of official duties, he met with the prime minister. He could only rest for half an hour before the live broadcast began.
The queen was wearing a steam goggles lying on the massage chair with her eyes closed to refresh herself, and the faceless man stood silently behind her.
"A Zheng, help me pour a glass of water." Hua Tu clustered his hands over his lower abdomen with a little tired voice.
The faceless man obeyed the king's order and poured water while helping her, but said: "You shouldn't call me that."
"Can't it be only when we are two?"
The cluster of flowers lifted the blindfold to look at her, and the faceless man just handed the cup to her. The flower cluster didn't take it immediately, staring at her staring straightly. The two stalemate for a while, the faceless man finally defeated.
"Forget it, just be happy."
The flower cluster just took the water glass, showing a smile of the winner.
The faceless man waited quietly for her to finish drinking, and then handed over a plate of caramel cookies.
"How much to eat, I don't know how long it will take to meet." Although most of the time each interviewer will be controlled within 10 minutes or even shorter, but if you encounter the kind of preparation, you are ready to publish a long speech, but it is Some people with insight and knowledge will not interrupt their speeches in principle.
Once a meeting person wrote a full-100,000-word speech and spent 2 hours explaining his point of view. He heard the king then fell asleep. Even better, ten years later he became prime minister of the empire, and he always took this experience as anecdotes to make this tradition gain more attention.
The flower cluster is hard to eat sweets, pushing the biscuit away and shaking his head: "No, is there anything sour?"
Probably too much pressure, she has recently lost her appetite, and she has obviously lost a lot of weight.
"Then eat some plums," the faceless man took a pile of preserves from the coffee table and handed her to her. "You still stay in the palace to rest in the evening. The situation in Hebei New District is stable and there is no need to rush back overnight.
Although the traffic is convenient now, the journey is still exhausting. Moreover, the atmosphere at the front command post was tense, and the situation in the newly recovered Hebei New District was complicated. It would be better to stay in Wangdu after the New Year.
The flower cluster shook his head, "No, the situation in the new district is still unknown. There are many emergency situations that need to be decided. I can improve efficiency there."
"Not everything needs to be decided by the king."
Hua Tu raised her eyebrows, "No need for peace, but now the situation is special ... no longer need to solve things quickly, when will you find Mu Mu?"
For Huatu, Huace's behavior is nothing but a dying struggle. If it doesn't happen that Huamu is missing, you won't mind even slowly grinding her.
The Queen's heart is not a national event, but her children's love, it seems that the leader is helpless.
"It seems that your father's decision is still correct. To a certain extent, you are really not suitable for being a queen, let alone Hua Jian."
Flower clusters used to be angry at this view of faceless people, but now they have learned to laugh.
"I'm already a queen, whether it suits me or not. For the people, a human monarch is not a bad thing. Besides, isn't there you? It is enough for you to think about sensible things. As for Ajan ... He Zhi It ’s not here that annoys him for his official duties. He is already wronged. If Mu Mu is still there, he will probably go directly to the tomb after Simin ’s death. "
Grand Duke Hua Jian's infatuation is very famous in the empire, so even if he is rumored to have a luxurious life and ridiculous behavior, there are still many women fans supporting him.
"Your sisters and brothers are deeply affectionate, one for the elder sister's care ... and the other for the younger brother.
Hua Tu looked at her and smiled ambiguously, "You are jealous? Who makes infatuation a royal tradition, and after the abolition of polygamy, the relationship between the children is naturally harmonious. You see that even Hua Ce is as ambitious Everyone would rather marry Alyssa in violation of the regulations. Even if Derek did not awaken, he never had the idea of ​​continuation. "
"... Apart from infatuation, isn't widowing a tradition?"
As if it were a curse, the harmonious and loving relationship between the husband and wife among the members of the royal family will be as early as the other half. Nowadays, with such advanced technology, the average age of ordinary people reaches 100 years old, and even sentinels and guides die abnormally, they can even live to 200 years old. It is very rare to die before 40 years old.
But looking at the history of the royal family, more than 60% of the spouses of the members died before the age of 30, and only about 2% of the people lived to the end of their lives. Today, the most recent direct relationship, the wife of Grand Duke Hua Jian died at the age of 22, and Eliza, the spouse of Hua Ce, also suffered an accident at the age of 30. Wei's wife also passed away early without leaving a son and a daughter. Not to mention the former king Hua Yuandu, Huace's father Hua Yuanqing and others.
The names of the elders of the flower clusters are taken from Qingdu Ziwei, and the third child used the two words directly to die because of the mother's dystocia.
Although not mentioned on the surface, scholars have long proposed the tradition of widows in royal families in anonymous forums. There are also many people who believe that a monarch who declares no marriage like a flower cluster is to protect his lover.
The flower cluster didn't expect the other party to believe this, showing a playful smile.
"Do you believe this? Simin's body is not good from an early age. Ah Jane had been mentally prepared before marrying her. Now the number of blood vessels close to the royal family is counted up and down. How can it be a scientific conclusion if so few statistical samples If you go forward, do you have to consider the average age at that time? "The queen believed in science and scoffed at the so-called" tradition "." Anyway, it is impossible to be peaceful in the rights center. To a certain extent, it is probably It is also a curse. Why? You are not willing to go to Hezhou in person, is it because of this? "
Flower clusters never worry about flower kites, because in her heart, the power of flower kites has exceeded the level of mortals. She could not imagine that anything could hurt her, and she believed that the other party had such self-confidence. She said that this sentence was just to pass the time to fight with Huazheng, and was prepared to make a mockery of "I am not your lover" when she came back. Unexpectedly, the faceless man said something that made her incredible after a moment of silence. .
"Even if it was just adoption ... I was a member of the royal family after all."
Since the flower cluster ascended the throne, Huazheng has never left her side, guarding her like a shadow. But she always thought that the other party just regarded this as a mission.
Because she couldn't forget it ... At that time, she had to often warn herself that "this person has no heart" so as not to misunderstand some of her actions and words.
Huazheng is very sensible, Huazheng is very evil, Huazheng does not understand love, Huazheng is just a universal robot prepared by her father for her, but has to obey her.
But such a thing is definitely not something a person without heart can say?
"come here."
The cluster of flowers fluctuated, sitting up slightly and beckoning towards the faceless man.
Huazheng did not hesitate and squatted to her feet obediently.
The queen rarely embraced her guards generously and smiled: "What do you mean by this sentence?"
"Explain why I can't leave you."
"Then you admit ..." The queen bit her lip, a bit shy, "I am your lover?"
The sentry said in a puzzling tone: "Why do you understand this? Isn't we talking about your safety?"
The flower cluster is going to be mad, twisting a thin faceless face of the faceless man, and said fiercely: "We are talking about the tradition of widowing in the royal family. Are you worried that I am not because of this?
"Is this the case? In such an anxious situation, Huace will of course try to target you. I worry why do you need other reasons?"
The queen found herself being fooled again and almost fainted.
"Hua Zheng, you die!"
The whole empire is paying attention to today's live broadcast of the meeting between the Queen and the civilians. The success story recovered by the Hebei New District was personally informed by the Queen, bringing a good ending to this slightly turbulent year.
No one will doubt the victory of this war. As long as the queen firmly grasps the power of the tower, there will be no huge waves in the way. Everyone is concerned about how to reduce losses and casualties. Now the royal family has handed in an answer that is satisfactory to most people.
Meeting with the same situation as in previous years, there are uncles who fainted directly because of excitement, and young people who talked and talked about having to be interrupted. Of course, there are also some warm scenes.
The last lucky man was a five-year-old girl who happened to be from the liberated Hebei New District. Everyone was speculating that this was the highlight of the royal family's deliberate arrangement. The little girl was very delicate and cute, and the childish words also caused everyone to laugh frequently. The Queen even got up and walked in front of the meeting to embrace her.
But just as the audience wanted to witness this historic hug, a black figure suddenly flew through the camera, followed by a strong fire and a huge explosion-the live broadcast was interrupted.
The author has something to say: I can't let the protagonist group go back and do nothing?
