Genshin Impact: I, the Prince of Winter, rule over the world

The Ice Queen nodded.

"The Adventer" drank tea quietly, aloof and seemed to have nothing to do with the whole thing. The sword intention that was about to become famous all over the world seemed to be a casual creation. It was not until she said "Thank you" that she put down the sword in her hand. Teacup smiled calmly and said:

"Your blood is flowing in my body. You have been kind to me, and Zhi Dong has been kind to me. It is natural for me to repay you without saying thank you. I told you last night that you helped a man from Teyvat Continent. Savior."

Hearing "The Adventer" say these words again, strange ripples appeared in her heart, and she had a premonition that this guy might bring many changes to the fate of the Winter Country, and it also meant countless possibilities.If it was said that uniting the forces of the other six countries to resist the law of heaven was Zhidong's only national policy before, then with the emergence of "Adventors", Zhidong may have other options.

However, then the "Adventor" became unserious again and said with a smile:

"In fact, it is not as great as you think. The man holding the sword in the painting is me. Miss Columbia, if I stay for one day in the solstice, then the fire of spirit and will will burn brightly, without seeking to illuminate the eternal night. I only hope that when you are lost, I can guide you on the way home. From now on, you will protect me in the winter, and I will protect you, okay?"

Faced with words that were almost like confessions, her thoughts were confused and she was no longer calm as usual, "Why...are you nice to me?"

"The Adventer" pondered: "If you can't even protect the people around you, how can you protect the world?"

She savored it carefully, and then said: "I said that the mind can always see more than the naked eye. You are not telling the truth."

"The Adventer" couldn't help but said: "I also said that you and I have known each other for a long time."

Of course she didn't know that the "long-time acquaintance" mentioned by "Adventurer" was referring to the meeting in the mobile game. However, she couldn't tell whether the other party still hadn't told the truth, so she half-joked:

"Nowadays, young men in the city won't use words like 'we seem to have seen each other somewhere' when chatting up girls. It's too old-fashioned, like the old courtyard walls in a cold palace that have been in disrepair and are covered with moss."

"The Adventer" asked: "Then would you like to accompany me to enjoy the snowy scenery of the Solstice Kingdom?"

Seeing her "look" for help, Her Majesty the Queen said meaningfully: "Columbia, you make your own choice."

She really didn’t know what to see in the snowy scenery of the Solstice Kingdom. The white snow and ice, the whistling cold wind, the beasts and elemental creatures of the Teyvat continent would not be willing to stay in such a place, and this guy just wanted to I want to see the snow scene.

After thinking about it, she made a decision, "I'm sorry, I don't have time. Besides, your health is still very bad, and you will catch a cold if you stay outside for too long."

After hearing this, "The Adventer" didn't appear depressed at all. Instead, he jumped out of bed and made a pot of hot tea.

Her Majesty the Queen said: "Columbia, wait for me outside."

About half a year later, on the night when the "Adventor" was promoted to the Winter Prince, Her Majesty the Queen told her the conversation that day.

Inside the room, the Ice Queen said straight to the point: "Are you confessing your love? Such a confession will frighten girls. Don't force emotional matters. I hope you don't mind, her character has always been like this."

His Royal Highness replied:

"The eleven executive officers under your command have all met one after another in the past few days. We will discuss the problems of other people later. We must first solve the problem of Columbia. You know, although her power has been Sealed, but also very dangerous. She needs love, protection, and someone to pay attention to her. Now she is the executive officer of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, and she may be instigated by heaven in the future. If you ask me for advice, this is the first rule I give you. I suggest that whoever wins the [Girl] wins the world.”

Double entendre.

The Ice Queen asked: "I admit these problems you mentioned, then you can lie to her?"

His Highness the Prince muttered: "I can help Zhidong achieve the great cause of resisting the law of heaven, and I can face the Sky Island without even giving up a fight, but I can't face the day when she and I will meet with swords on the battlefield. One day in the future, she will assassinate I will definitely not be able to dodge the sword coming over."

I will definitely not be able to dodge the sword she stabs at me.

Because the person opposite is [Girl] Columbia.

The Ice Queen sighed: "You see farther and more clearly than I do. So, why are you so happy when she just refused?"

His Highness the Prince said with high spirits: "The refusal is due to reservation. In half a year, she will definitely agree to let me go see the snow."

The Ice Queen said: "Based on what I know about that girl, she has a cold temperament and lacks enthusiasm for anything. Especially when it comes to relationships, once something is determined, it will never be changed easily. Can you reveal some plans? Content?”

His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and said: "Of course. As the Queen, you must cooperate with my plan. The content of the plan is that in the name of the Queen, you will propose marriage to outstanding women from the six countries for me!"

Chapter 181 His ambition is not inferior to mine

The Ice Queen was astonished, "I'll help you get married?"

To the Ice Queen who saved him, His Royal Highness said without any scruples:

"The usual way to pursue a girl like her is to create a chance encounter, spend time together day and night and slowly and slowly accumulate good feelings. But for a woman who is used to loneliness, if you want to open her heart, conventional methods will fail. risks of.

"So I did the opposite and expressed my feelings directly from the beginning of our meeting. She is rejecting me now because she suspects that my motives are not pure and I have other motives for approaching her. Then I will simply become a playboy as she wants. Carrot. Go help me find a wife and send letters to the most beautiful women in the six countries.

"When I took other women away from Zhidong and lived a free life wandering around the world, she would definitely feel a huge sense of loss and come to me. If I reveal my heart to her at that time, I would definitely win her over. If you don't accept my confession, I Why are you crying when we leave? This is about retreating in order to advance, playing hard to get."

The Ice Queen clapped her hands and praised: "What a trick to keep at bay, wonderful."

His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and said: "Columbia is a very proud woman, but I am even prouder than her, so I had to take this step. People with personalities like ours always like to torture each other and make the Queen laugh."

The Ice Queen carefully thought about what he just said, "Whoever wins the [Girl] wins the world." While making tea for him personally, she smiled charmingly and said:

"Even I have to condescend to take care of this matter. The job of a matchmaker is not easy. My prince, how are you going to thank me?"

His Highness the Prince looked at the Ice Queen, his tone changed slightly, "Prince?"

The Ice Queen explained:

"Since it's an acting, then act more realistically. There must be an identity when seeking marriage. Why not help you operate it in the name of recruiting a princess? The plan will be more credible. I will succeed to the position of queen, except for those who are for official positions. My uncle and uncle, who were looking for life and death all day long, were forced to let me be conferred the title of prince. Apart from some of my relatives who had made contributions, I had never been conferred the title of king with a different surname.

"In the winter, the titles are divided into duke, marquis, count, son and prince. The prince ranks above the duke and only below me. There is a formal coronation ceremony for the prince to ascend. When you use your political achievements to block the crowd who know that you have been I have been canonized as a prince with a different surname. It is estimated that for a period of time from now on, I will remonstrate three times every day in the morning, noon and evening, shouting "Your Majesty is confused". I will hold another grand ceremony for you. If you are If you don’t like the title of prince, I’ll let you wear the ice crown on your head.”

This is definitely a shocking conversation. The Queen of Winter Kingdom is willing to give up the throne that symbolizes the highest power of Winter.

Facing the temptation of power, His Highness the Prince did not even blink an eye, and said hehe: "No need to test me, I am not interested in your throne. Even if you want to be crowned, you still need to be recognized by Sky Island, but they are eager to do so now. I'll die. Her Majesty the Queen, you really think highly of me. It's impossible not to serve the Winter Kingdom."

Hearing this "Your Majesty the Queen", the Ice Queen smiled coquettishly and felt very pleased. She made tea for him again, with a very low posture and said:

"With your ability, the Kingdom of Winter will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future. I believe that as you said, when you and other women are intimate with each other, Columbia will regret it and will eventually embrace the beauty. I would rather I believe that I have saved a savior of the Teyvat continent.”

Listening to the compliments in his ears, His Royal Highness just asked the last question indifferently, "If you want me to help you govern the Winter Kingdom and improve the overall national strength in the shortest time, then if your relatives commit crimes, they are willing to let me Judge them and chop off their heads?”

Since ancient times, the corruption and collapse of the empire, the change and turmoil of the royal power, were mostly caused by the emperor's relatives. This group of people who enjoy privileges are always the biggest resistance to reform. The Ice Queen secretly praised the wisdom of Her Highness the Prince, and after hesitating for a long time, her eyes Flashing a cold light, he replied:

"My relatives and tribesmen may insult you, assassinate you by any means, or even conspire against you. If they just do something small, slander and insult you behind your back, it may be difficult for me to replace you in front of the ministers. Speak, but I will remain silent and will not support them. If they dare to assassinate you or plot rebellion, I will personally clean up the door without you taking action.

"My prince, after today, you will be in charge of all the power of life and death in Zhidong. There is no need to ask my opinion again."

His Royal Highness held the tea cup and said with tea instead of wine: "If you have this determination, I can free my hands and feet to carry out reforms. You just asked me how to thank you for being a matchmaker. They all said that the ancient country of Kanreia was so powerful that even Tianli was Fear, then how about letting Zhidong surpass Kanria?"

The Ice Queen was once again surprised and moved. She clinked glasses of tea with him and said earnestly: "I'm looking forward to your performance."

The Ice Queen came outside after talking about business with the "Adventor". She stood impatiently in the snow and took the initiative to ask:

"Your Majesty, this person has only been here for a few days, so you trust him so much. Is it inappropriate?

"He also wants me to accompany him to enjoy the snow scene. Well, I don't want to do it anyway. You have to satisfy his unreasonable request and send Rosalind and Sandonne. Anyway, don't send Arecino, her A violent temper might tear the 'Adventur' into pieces. This guy is lawless, arrogant and narcissistic, relying on your trust in him."

The Ice Queen slowly said:

"In the past few days, I have been observing his injuries every day. His rapid recovery is entirely due to his amazing elemental affinity. You have not noticed this because his strength is too weak to attract your attention. But I discovered this by sharing his elemental affinities.”

She had suspected that even if she had given the "Adventurer" blood transfusions for several days in a row, even if Her Majesty the Queen had injected divine power into his body, and even if the doctors in the palace had performed extraordinary surgeries, they would not be able to explain why the damage caused to his body by the laws of nature could not be explained just in this moment. Within a few days no visible wounds will appear.

It was clear that yesterday he got out of bed and took five steps, which caused the wound to tear, but today he was as lively as a normal person. Only then did he understand the reason. The elemental affinity comparable to that of a god gave him the terrifying self-healing ability of a god. As his strength improved, He will soon reach a state of immortality, and beyond that will be the realm of immortal gods.

With such a monster's talent, even if he started practicing elemental power very late, his future achievements would be unimaginable. [Doctor] Dotore, who specializes in the study of gods, once proved that the seven gods of Teyvat have this unparalleled fear from birth. Talents, including the fact that although the Ice Queen is a human being, she is also a unique darling with ice elemental power.

It is said that shortly after Her Majesty the Queen was born, her parents went to a bar to get drunk in order to celebrate, and they and their children passed out drunk at the door of their house.The next day, people found that her parents had frozen to death, but a baby girl miraculously survived and smiled at the onlookers.This incident alarmed the former Ice Queen, who sent someone to bring the baby girl back to the palace and raised her with care.

Later, when Her Majesty the Queen had a heart-to-heart talk with their executives, she explained that it was not a miracle. She had not been able to feel the cold since she was born. The ice element would not only not hurt her, but would also actively improve her physique, even if she did not practice every day. , the power of the ice element in the body is also circulating on its own and continues to grow and develop. This is a manifestation of the extremely high affinity of the element.

Facing the biting wind and snow outside, Her Majesty the Queen said again seriously:

"In the painting on the wall, you named the sword intention 'Sword of Protection'. It fits the theme of the painting very well, and there is another layer of connotation in it. The man holding the sword in the painting is him, and he said that he wants to protect You, in fact, it’s not just you that he is protecting. When he said the words, ‘How can you protect the world if you can’t even protect the people around you?’, I knew that his plan was by no means limited to protecting the Winter Kingdom. His ambition, Not beneath me.”

As she listened to the Queen's reinterpretation of the painting, she suddenly felt that it made some sense.

Her Majesty the Queen continued:

"Columbia, when you came to see him today, didn't you notice any changes in him? He somehow managed to resist the power of the curse from heaven. If it were me, I would never be able to survive the third day of divine status. Will break.

"The maintainer of heavenly principles did not pursue her all the way to the Winter Palace in the end. In addition to her own unstable condition, the reason is that the 'adventur' was bound to die by the vicious curse she released. But he was still alive, even if it was only for a short time. The suppression curse is already a miracle.

"Why do I trust the prince so much? These are the reasons. A person who cannot even be killed by the law of heaven will be the biggest variable in the Teyvat continent."

She had no doubt about the Queen's vision. Since His Majesty said so, the image of the arrogant man who was originally disgusting to her suddenly became taller. Then he pricked up his ears and asked hurriedly:

"You called her...Prince?"

Her Majesty the Queen smiled and nodded: "From now on, you will call him His Royal Highness, the Prince of Solstice, ranking above the Eleven Executive Officers. Columbia, I have to give you a task, before he has fully grown up. , is the period when it is most likely to die young and fall, so we must protect his safety."

Being sensitive, she thought that this was a deal reached between Her Majesty the Queen and the "Adventors", and that she had become a bargaining chip in the deal, so she refused on the spot, "Why me? I won't go!"

Her Majesty the Queen said helplessly: "You...then send Arecino to carry out this task."

She deliberately said loudly in a tone that could be heard by the people in the room:

"Anyone can do it, but I can't."

Since Arecino was busy training at the Hearth House and couldn't get away, Her Majesty the Queen sent [Puppet] Sandone to serve as the Prince's personal bodyguard.

Just like her, Arecino, who received the mission, almost demolished the laboratory in a noisy manner. He also asked her to treat her to the most expensive delicacies in the east city, and to go to the dangerous border of Canria ruins to capture... Only the return of several large "cultivating machines" can make up for the mental loss.

It was a completely good deal, and she agreed without hesitation.

Not to mention eating the most expensive delicacies in the winter, even asking her to ask Her Majesty the Queen to cook a few dishes herself, she would comply to the letter.

On her first day as a personal guard for His Royal Highness, Sandone met with her in the evening and shared her experience that day, saying:

"The newly appointed prince did not do serious business. There were so many ministers and princes and nobles eager to curry favor with him. However, he had a leisurely time and took me to the countryside with him in a carriage.

"I thought he was going to contact the big landowner who owns half of the farmland in the Solstice Kingdom to support his work. He received a letter from the palace secretariat, and just like he usually received the big shots in the palace, he sent all the local people to him. The small landowners all gathered together to wait for the prince's audience.

"Considering that the prince's status is unique, the big landowner also prepared a grand welcome dance. The fine wine and cakes placed on the table were no worse than those in Solstice City, and those unique fruit baskets in the countryside, even I was greedy when I saw it. The eight daughters of the big landowner were all dressed up, and they were all dressed like flowers. They may not be dressed to a higher standard than this when they get married in the future.

"I also heard that the prince came from other places. For fear that he would be frozen by the wind and snow, Dadi took the initiative to use more than 500 slaves to set up a stove around the open-air stage. Everyone sitting in the wind and snow at the scene was so hot that they took off their clothes. The big cotton coat was still sweating, as if he had been to the lava-hot Nata Kingdom.

"Guess what, our Highness is completely different from other officials in the past. He didn't go to see the big landowner at all. When the carriage arrived, he bypassed the group of brightly dressed landowners. Instead, I had a great time chatting with a group of serfs. Although the serfs were pitiful, they also knew how to follow others. Our Highness, probably carried away by their enthusiasm, actually sat on the snow and talked with them for most of the day.

"I thought that the mud there would stain my boots, so I stood in the distance and waited. I didn't know what they were talking about. I vaguely heard the prince saying, 'turn over the serfs and sing.' I guess the group of landowners heard it." .Columbia, you really should go and take a look. Their expressions have changed drastically, and their faces are as green as frogs.

"Anyway, it was getting dark in the end before our prince remembered to go back to the palace. You asked me if he chatted with the big landowners? Of course not. Our Highness's official authority is not small. He said that he was tired today, so cool and elegant We boarded the carriage. But the group of serfs, after our prince left, cried for some reason. The shouts of 'Your Highness' were so loud that they could be heard even after the carriage drove out, which scared the horses. It broke, and I ran wildly all the way, which made me feel confused.

"Well, this is what happened today. Well, it's a good thing you didn't go. You would have suffered a big sin if you had."

The next day, as usual, I waited for her at Sandonne's residence.

When Sandonne came back, she was in a low mood and her eyes were a little red. She hurriedly asked if she had been bullied by the prince.

……

Ps:

Alas, today is another busy day. I will send it out first and modify the details tomorrow. Please bear with me.

In addition, these days I have been using large chapters of [-] words, so the chapter you see is actually equivalent to the previous two chapters.

I can only go to dinner now because the food is cold.

I'll have to adjust my time tomorrow.

Chapter 182: Governing a Big Country Like Cooking Small Fresh Food

When [Puppet] Sandonne, who accompanied the prince on his trip the next day, came back at night, his mood was completely different from yesterday. She immediately hugged Sandonne to comfort her and said:

"It must be that I didn't promise to protect him, so I took it out on you. Sandone, he dared to bully you, and I'm going to settle the score with him now! It's just relying on Her Majesty the Queen's temporary favor, what's the big deal."

She went around the Winter Palace this morning. The princes and ministers were still queuing up to be received by the prince. They were all complaining and clamoring to go to Her Majesty the Queen to sue the prince for dereliction of duty.

When we arrived at the gate of the Winter Palace, we saw a familiar figure.The female officer in charge of palace etiquette was very serious and responsible in her work. She taught every executive the etiquette of entering the palace one by one.

It took a lot of patience to make the eleven rebellious executive officers salute according to the red tape rules. The female officer spent a lot of energy and effort to teach all the executive officers.

That day, Her Majesty the Queen praised her by name in the hall of the palace in front of all the ministers, and she became famous. The royal relatives, princes and nobles all invited her to their homes to provide special training for their children.

She was familiar with the female officer, and had established a friendly relationship when she was studying court etiquette. She was the most serious and quickest among the eleven executive officers, and was appointed as the team leader by the female officer.

When they met again, the female official was very anxious and took the initiative to ask for her help, hoping that she could persuade His Royal Highness to take precious time to study etiquette seriously so as not to make a joke when going to the palace to discuss matters.

She smiled bitterly and said how could she control the prince.

The female officer's face was filled with sorrow and tears, and she stamped her feet anxiously, lamenting what should be done.

Several ministers in charge of water conservancy gathered together and talked.

As she passed by, she heard them talking about the severe freezing disaster that had occurred in the temperate and tropical regions of the south and the urgent need for disaster relief and relief. Now Her Majesty the Queen announced that Her Highness the Prince would implement the New Deal and handed over the power of governing the country to him alone. However, the Prince did not know what was going on. trace.

Several other ministers were discussing that the missions from Fontaine and Nata were about to visit. They were led by senior officials from the two countries. His Royal Highness's instructions were urgently needed as to what standards of reception they should follow.

In addition to the many ministers who had to report official business, there were naturally a group of princes and nobles gathering together leisurely to eat melon seeds.

This group of royal relatives did not do any serious business, and the purpose of coming to the palace was to curry favor with and win over the newly appointed prince.Even they became impatient after waiting for two consecutive days, and their words were full of disrespect.

She thought to herself that Her Majesty the Queen might have seen the wrong person this time.

Your Highness, the Prince, is of no use.
