Chapter 123
Chapter 123
The imperial palace is located in the northernmost part of the imperial capital, separated from the civilian area by a moat. Ke Jin had seen it from a distance when he was strolling before, and secretly admired the magnificence of this palace. The towering and majestic palace gate.
When Ke Jin walked into the restaurant with Eggers, there were already many people sitting inside.
The top two seats were empty, and Ke Jin guessed that they should be the seats of His Majesty the King and the Queen; on the right side of the long dining table sat a woman and two men, both with blond hair and similar appearance to Oloy Somewhat similar, they should be Oloy's brother and sister.
Seeing Ke Jin's appearance, the eyes of the gentle blonde beauty instantly lit up, she smiled and looked at Oloy who was sitting opposite, and said in a low voice.
"Good eyesight."
Oloy was a little happy in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to show it, so he didn't say anything, and just pulled away the seat beside him calmly.
Oloy sat at the first position on the left side of the dining table, and there were two empty chairs beside him. After saluting with the princes and daughters, Eggers opened the seat without hesitation and sat on the empty chair at the end on the left. At the meeting, Ke Jin imitated Eggers and bowed to everyone, then sat next to Oloy.
Civilians must wear formal dresses to enter the palace, and Ke Jin did not have suitable clothes, but fortunately Ouloi sent someone to give him a set in advance.The slim black dress complemented Ke Jin's slender and well-proportioned figure, and the cuffs embroidered with light gold trim showed his white wrists. Because he was a little nervous, Ke Jin subconsciously loosened his neckline after sitting down. From Oloy's perspective, he could just see To the delicate collarbone looming under the other party's collar.
"...This body suits you very well." Olloi looked at it for a while without blinking, then whispered suddenly.
"Thank you." Ke Jin also whispered.Probably because of being so close to Olloi, he feels much better now, not as nervous as when he first walked in.
Oloy smiled at him, and before he could say anything, there were a few low-pitched laughter from across the table.
Ke Jin was at a loss, and immediately sat up straight awkwardly. Olloi raised his head and gave them a warning look, but his royal brother and sister were completely unmoved, and all stared at Ke Jin with smiles on their faces.
"Oloy," the elegant and gentle eldest prince said with a smile, "won't you introduce your friend to us?"
"Didn't Eggs introduce it just now?" Olloi responded stiffly, as if he didn't want to say more at all.
"We want to hear a more detailed introduction." The slightly pale second prince also said with a smile.
All of you have already inquired about their situation clearly, why are you still pretending to be little white rabbits here!
Before Oloy could protest, the third princess had already nodded cordially to Ke Jin.
"Hi Kejinka, I'm Olloi's sister, Catherine." She glanced at Olloi, her smile became more meaningful, "I heard that when little Yiyi was in trouble, you took him in?"
Little Yiyi?
Ke Jin glanced at Olloi blankly, and the latter said angrily with a thin blush on his face.
"Three sisters!"
Catherine was unmoved, and just looked at Ke Jin with a smile.The gaze cast by the other party was kind and warm, but Ke Jin nodded slightly with a weird and subtle feeling.
"Forget it, let's do it."
"Our wayward younger brother has caused you a lot of trouble." The eldest prince said with a smile, "Well, although this kid has a bad temper, he still has a good nature. He's just not good at expressing himself."
"I know." Ke Jin also smiled, "The Oroi people are actually very nice, and I have received a lot of care from him."
The three people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were fixed on Oloy.
"A lot of care..." Catherine smiled more meaningfully.
"What's wrong?" Olloi was a little annoyed, "Can't I take care of others?"
"That depends on who this 'other' is..." the second prince said.
"Well, at least we didn't know before." The First Prince also teased.
Everyone laughed.
Ke Jin could hear that their laughter was kind, but there was a kind of mysterious kindness in his eyes, which made him inexplicably embarrassed, as if he was not coming to a friend's house for a casual meal, but was being led by his lover. Came to see the parents.
Fortunately, His Majesty the King and the Queen finally showed up at this time, and everyone stopped chatting. Ke Jin imitated them and got up together to salute, and then sat down in his seat properly.
His Majesty the King looked majestic and steady, while the Queen was kind and kind. After they sat down, they looked at Ke Jin, the new guest, in unison.
Before Ke Jin came, he also made up for some royal etiquette. Seeing this, he immediately got up to salute, but Oloy held him down under the table.
"There are no outsiders here, Mr. Ke, you don't have to be restrained, just relax." The queen also said with a smile.
Ke Jin was flattered, and while deeply moved by the queen's approachability, a "?" slowly popped up in his heart——
Who said there are no outsiders, am I not the "outsider" here...
"Can I call you Xiao Ke directly?" the queen asked with a smile.
Ke Jin immediately stroked his chest to pay respects, almost with a little trepidation: "Of course, Your Majesty the Empress."
"Can we also call you that in the future?" The third princess interjected with a crooked smile.
Ke Jin nodded: "Of course, Your Royal Highness."
"Great." Catherine blinked at Olloi who was sitting next to Ke Jin, "Little Yiyi, do you have any objections?"
Ke Jin: "?"
Why do you need to ask for Oloy's opinion on such a matter?
Olloi ignored her.
...It's so annoying to have a gossiping older sister!
Everyone arrived, and the meals were served one after another.Oloy said before that the lunch invitation this time was just a very ordinary family dinner, and Ke Jin found out that it was indeed the case—although the people sitting here were members of the most powerful family in the Imperial galaxy, but during the meal, what everyone talked about The topic is pretty routine.
From everyone's chats, Ke Jin probably learned some information, some of which shocked him: For example, the third princess has already married, and the object is the daughter of the lord of the second largest planet in the Imperial galaxy. The female couple went to settle on an alien planet, and they only appeared here recently when they came back to visit their relatives; the love life of the second prince has always been very bumpy, and there will always be various unimaginable accidents, but recently there has been a sudden turning point, and finally there is a A stable marriage partner, the two will go to the famous honey travel planet for vacation tomorrow, and so on.
And the one they talked about the most was Olloi.
Ke Jin could see that everyone loves Olloi very much. When Her Royal Highness mentioned Olloi, her expression became more gentle. They were all talking good things about Oloy, and Ke Jin was really interested in this topic, so he couldn't help laughing. Later, even the taciturn King joined the conversation. Oloy tried several times to change the topic but failed, and finally simply Give up resistance completely and let them go.
The lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere. After His Majesty the King and the Queen left the table, Olloi also got up immediately, and gave Ke Jin a look, asking him to go with her.
"Xiao Ke, don't go home in a hurry, let Xiao Yiyi show you around." The third princess Catherine said with a smile.
Ke Jin froze for a moment, feeling that the other party's statement was a little subtle - it is normal to take friends to visit the palace, but saying "familiar"... Does this mean that he will be asked to come here often in the future?
"You don't need to remind me, I know what to do." Olloi muttered, and then glanced at Aigers again.
"I'm not going." Eggers waved his hands to them both with a look of sitting firmly on his buttocks, "You two go first, I hope you have a good time, goodbye!"
Catherine and the others immediately cast approving glances at Eggers, and Eggers also showed a knowing smile—I understand, I won't be a light bulb!But Ke Jin didn't see this, because he had already been dragged away from the restaurant by Olloi.
***
As soon as she left the restaurant, Olloi let out a long breath.
Because Eggers slipped his mouth, his family already knew that Ke Jin was their favorite.Although he said that the two of them hadn't made much progress, they were very excited and asked to see Ke Jin. Olloi couldn't resist the noise from these people all day long, so he invited Ke Jin. Unexpectedly, the meal was full of food. Then it becomes my own childhood memory meeting...
Extremely depressed!What a mistake!
After hearing so many embarrassing things about him as a child, Ke Jin wouldn't have a bad opinion of himself...
Olloi glanced at Ke Jin quietly, but unexpectedly the other party was also staring at him. When the eyes met, the other party raised the corners of his mouth and showed a happy smile.
"You were quite cute when you were young." Ke Jin said.
Olloi: "!"
Maybe because he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, or maybe because he was dazzled by the other party's pretty smile, Oloy's mind went blank for a moment, and he said reflexively.
"...Am I not cute now?"
Ke Jin was taken aback for a moment, and almost burst out laughing, but luckily held back in time.
"It's cute, of course it's cute." Ke Jin nodded his head vigorously, carefully looked at Olloi carefully, and suddenly blinked playfully.
"Our little Yiyi is the cutest."
"..."
Blame the third sister!What is it called Xiao Yiyi!Ke Jin was brought down!
"Not only cute, but also handsome." Ke Jin continued with a smile, brushed off a little dust from Olloi's neckline, helped him straighten his collar, and looked at him quietly for a few seconds, with the corner of his mouth always showing Smile.
"Your Highness Oloy, you are the most handsome."
Under the bright sunlight outside, the youth's pure black eyes were like crystal clear glass beads, reflecting small and bright brilliance, which Oloy could see clearly—the reflection of those eyes at this moment, condensed in the light of the other party's eyes The deepest person is himself.
If I could be watched like this forever, always occupying the focus of his sight... that would be great.
But the other party has already looked away, looking at the strange flowers and plants in the palace garden with novelty.Oloy walked behind silently, covering his chest with his hands, feeling his heart beating faster and more violently than ever before.
——That was his throbbing and longing that was becoming more and more difficult to contain.
***
The palace is very big, if you want to go around for a whole day, it is not enough, the two of them just walked in the back garden for the time being, even so, it also opened Ke Jin's eyes.Not to mention the magnificent horticultural modeling that has made people linger, and the rare flowers transplanted from different galaxies are so beautiful that he can't take his eyes off them.
Walking to the exit of the garden, there is an artificial lake, the water of which is clear and bright, looking like a blue crystal from a distance.A large piece of fluorescent grass half a person's height is planted by the lake, and the breeze blows, and the grass leaves fly up like dandelion stamens, covering most of the lake surface with dots, and it looks like a star river is erected on the lake from a distance.
"It's so beautiful." Ke Jin sighed.Through the "star river", he saw a row of palaces on the opposite side of the lake, and many servants and guards came and went around those buildings.
"Where is it?" Ke Jin asked.
Oloy took a look: "Royal Palace." He pointed to the golden building closest to the lake, "I live here."
Ke Jin immediately took a closer look. The most luxurious place he has lived in is the current Kachi Villa. It is really impossible to imagine the feeling of living in such a big palace.
"You have lived in such a luxurious place since you were young, but you have to live in a crappy house with me in the blue star. Did you feel very broken at that time?" Ke Jin asked.
"It was a little bit at the beginning." Olloi showed an expression of "can't look back on the past", "Later... I think it's okay."
"Okay?" Ke Jin half doubted half admired, "How did you get used to it?"
Oloy's expression became a little subtle, and he glanced at Ke Jin: "This is a scorer."
"You mean, you're the adaptable type?"
"No." Olloi shook her head, was silent for a moment, and smiled briefly.
"I mean... because of you, I can adapt."
Ke Jin was startled, and was about to ask again, when Olloi's communicator rang. He looked down and frowned.
"I have something to do, I need to leave." He clicked on the communicator a few times, and said to Ke Jin apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll ask someone to take you to continue shopping."
"No, no, I'll wait for you." Ke Jin pointed to the small gazebo by the lake, "Don't worry, I'll rest here for a while."
Of course, Oloy hoped that he would accompany Ke Jin, so he immediately agreed.
"Okay." He nodded to Ke Jin, "I will be back as soon as possible."
***
Olloi leaves.
Ke Jin wandered around in the garden for a while, then sat in the gazebo by the lake to rest.When he saw the palace across the lake, he couldn't help but think of what Oloy said just now.
——Because of you, I can adapt.
Did Olloi mean that he took good care of him when he was a child?
But if that's the case, then when Eggers went to find Olloi, he could obviously leave, so why did he stay in Azure Star?
Although Oloy said that he didn't want to go home, which made him think that his relationship with his family was tense, but during the meal today, he could see that his relationship with his family is actually very good, and there is no reason why he can't come back...
The more Ke Jin thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the stronger his curiosity.
If it were me, for what reason would I give up my original good life and voluntarily live in a small and dilapidated courtyard with others?
Immersed in divergent thoughts, Ke Jin suddenly came back to his senses when he heard someone calling his name.
He turned his head quickly, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the person standing in front of him clearly, but his body reacted faster and stood up directly.
"His Royal Highness, hello." Ke Jin respectfully saluted, not surprised to meet him here - this is the only way to return to the royal palace, the other party happened to see him, came over to chat, is perfectly normal.
"Xiao Ke, you are not an outsider, so you don't have to be so polite." The second prince smiled, and his delicate and delicate eyebrows were extraordinarily soft.Compared with Oloy, this second prince lacks vigor. His pale complexion and thin cheeks make him look a bit weak, but Ke Jin still has a good impression of him, and he can't imagine this gentle and elegant man at all. The second prince actually suffered repeated defeats in the history of relationships, and experienced being dumped in various ways...
"We are all very happy that you are willing to accept Oloy's invitation to come to our family dinner."
"It's my honor." Ke Jin hurriedly saluted, and at the same time, he was a little puzzled - he really liked the other party for not putting on the airs of the royal family, but he was just a commoner, and he accepted the invitation of the royal family to come to the banquet, why? It seems that the person who should be grateful and thank you should be yourself, why is the other party's attitude so low?As if I was afraid that I would refuse...
"No, I'm not exaggerating, but I mean it sincerely." Seemingly seeing through Ke Jin's thoughts, the smile on the corner of the second prince's mouth deepened, "At first we thought that Olloi would die alone, and we were all very happy. Worrying, I didn't expect him to finally open his mind, he had someone he liked, and even brought him back..."
Ke Jin almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, so he had to interrupt the other party immediately.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, you misunderstood." Ke Jin ignored the surprise, and hurriedly explained, "I and Oloy are just friends, not what you think."
Now it was the Second Prince's turn to be surprised.
"Really?" He opened his mouth slightly, looking completely unexpected, "But Eggs clearly said that Olloi was pursuing you, and Olloi didn't deny it at the time, so we thought..."
Ke Jin: "..."
Ke Jin: "???"
