Counterattack [Interstellar]

Leaving Auston, who was gasping for breath, Allen turned around and walked out of the study. Outside Pei Yao's eyes were full of anxiety. Seeing Allen came out, he quickly greeted him.

"Alston probably doesn't have time to see you right now." Allen chuckled at Pei Yao, "But I'm out now, I guess you don't want to see him again."

Pei Yao glanced over Alan's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Is His Royal Highness Anthony back?"

"Yeah." Allen hissed. "Go upstairs and say."

After returning to his room, Alan rejected the crowd and told Pei Yao about what Alston had just confessed to him. Pei Yao nodded: "Yes, you can't announce these things directly to the outside world. It's a little bit slower, the public It's also easier to accept."

"Yeah." Allen smiled, "By the way, according to tradition, the emperor will give me one of his palaces as the prince's residence after the canonization ceremony, but I am in a special situation... I was canonized when I was born, and I live now. The palace was built specially for me, so I am going to give you the new palace as the first gift from the crown prince to the princess."

Pei Yao quickly declined and said, "No, I talk to you every day, and I don't need these."

"That's a good sentence." Allen shook Pei Yao's hand, and said, "But I still have to give it to you, I know you don't care, but how much I give you, precious and wrong, is the outside world The standard for measuring our feelings, you will be the prince soon...I need everyone to know how much the prince values ​​you and loves you so that they will respect you more."

Allen smiled: "Don't think too much, your character and military merit are worthy of everyone's respect, but some people... are always snobbish. It's better to let them fear you a little."

Pei Yao heard the words and remembered the conversation between Ellen and Alston just outside the study, and his heart was warm. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Please don't care too much about those. I am a commoner and I have no noble education. It’s easy to be criticized just by your wrong love to become a princess. I heard what your majesty said... Please rest assured, I will try my best to avoid making any mistakes. I... I don't want to embarrass you."

Allen laughed: "Don't listen to the nonsense of Auston, what does he know? I know you better than him... Will a person who refuses to change the title of his husband be rude?", Allen's old account is heavy Mention, shook his head and sighed, "Just telling you not to use honorifics for me, I don't remember how many times I have reminded you, but you haven't changed it."

Pei Yao stopped talking, and Allen smiled: "With your memory, I don't believe that you need me to remind you a second time on such trivial things, but you haven't changed your words. I understand in my heart...you don't want to."

"Forget it, don't force you." Allen squeezed Pei Yao's hand and whispered softly, "It's just a title, you just feel comfortable."

Pei Yao hesitated and whispered: "In my heart, you will always be my Highness and have nothing to do with your duties. I just... think this is the best. You are very good to me, very good, but I don't want to let myself be too presumptuous. "

"It's presumptuous if you don't need to be respectful to me?" Allen smiled helplessly, "Forget it, it's what I just said, you just need to be at ease, but..."

Allen lowered his head and smiled: "To be honest, every time you call my Highness respectfully, I can't help but want to bully you, especially when you are in bed."

Pei Yao's face flushed suddenly, but Allen thought to himself: "Actually, this is not bad. When I was bullied and couldn't stand it, I would beg for mercy with a cry of respect and imagining. "

Pei Yao couldn't listen anymore, and blushed and changed the subject: "Then...how long does it take to deal with these things? When will you officially become the crown prince?"

Allen thought for a while and said, "Up to ten days."

Allen’s statement is conservative, and it has become a reality only seven days have passed since that day.

"I heard that His Royal Highness gave a palace under his name to Major General Pei Yao?" One of Allen's cousins ​​exclaimed, "It's like this before being officially married...The relationship between the crown prince and Pei Yao It’s much closer than we thought."

The canonization ceremony was just held during the day. In the evening, Mrs. Jeanne held a small celebration ball for Allen. Mrs. Jeanne wore a pearl white evening gown. It was rare that she only wore a light makeup and looked much younger. Just listen. After the cousin's words, Mrs. Jennie smiled and whispered: "More than intimacy, these are just what you know. As far as I know, all the properties of Betina acquired by the crown prince are given to Pei Yao."

People kept coming over to say hello, and Mrs. Jennie bit her ears while chatting with everyone while smiling: "Yesterday the prince also asked me to recommend some good designers to him. What he meant was that he wanted to renovate the new palace."

Mrs. Jennie blinked mysteriously, "The crown prince always loves luxury, but this time he emphatically asked me to find a few designers who prefer the pastoral style. This is to cater to whose preferences... Don't I need to say more?"

"Of course it's for Major General Pei Yao." Allen's cousin shook his head repeatedly and smiled, "I don't often return to the main star, but I have heard that the crown prince and the major general are very affectionate. I never thought that the facts are more than rumors. ."

Mrs. Jenny nodded, turned her head and whispered softly: "You know the temper of the crown prince, so don't offend Pei Yao, otherwise...", the following words can be understood without saying, Allen's cousin laughed Nodded: "Thank you for reminding me. Don't worry, am I crazy? Offend our future Royal Highness."

"By the way, I just talked about Bettina, she...how is she now?"

Mrs. Jeanne smiled faintly: "What else? When Anthony was the prince, she was the mistress of his majesty. Now Anthony is not the prince, and she is still the mistress of his majesty. What does these things have to do with her."

Allen's cousin smiled clearly and agreed: "Yes, it's just a mistress."

"But it's true that her life is not so easy." Madam Jeanne gathered her hair and slowly said, "After all, the only hope is gone... but this is not to blame. It is Anthony who insisted on returning the crown to Ai. Lun’s, Anthony did the right thing. As he said, he made too many mistakes in the position of the prince and brought a lot of losses to the empire. The only way to make up for it is to return everything to its original trajectory. Going up, we should all be grateful for his integrity and hope that Bettina will do the same instead of resenting him."

Allen's cousin nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

"Mrs. Famiga is here, and I will say hello." Mrs. Jenny smiled apologetically, "Have fun."

"Isn't this our royal prince?" Madam Jane met Ellen when she passed the spiral staircase, stopped and laughed, "How come?"

Allen pointed to the dress on his body and said, "I just changed the cumbersome clothes for the ceremony."

Mrs. Jennie nodded, lowered her voice and smiled: "I did what you said and talked to many people about how loving you and Pei Yao are."

Allen bowed slightly and smiled: "Thanks for your hard work."

"Of course it's hard work. When your two cousins ​​were in the social circle, I didn't care about paving the way for them." Mrs. Jennie curled her lips mischievously, "Right, where's Pei Yao?"

"It's upstairs to change clothes. I told him to come down. You have been working hard recently." Allen took the hand of Mrs. Jenny and kissed it, and couldn't wait to smile, "Okay, I'm going to find your Royal Highness."

"Wait." Mrs. Jenny stopped Ellen, and frowned after thinking about it, "Watch out for the Camplins. They have been silent for so many days. I don't worry about it for some reason, Yadai You also asked me to remind you to be careful. Although there are many idiots in the Camplin family, the old Camplin is still a little bit brainy, and he is a very tolerant person...Anyway, you have to be careful."

Allen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I have been staring at them."
