Interstellar Empire, Your Highness, please don’t get sick.

As Song Tingxi expected, everyone was more interested in the Marshal's Mansion, and the mecha manufacturing banquet organized by Yin Xuyao ​​was stillborn.

Even Yan Zhao was very surprised and doubted whether the Marshal's Mansion could accommodate hundreds of people for a party.

In short, on the night at the end of the year, the passenger aircraft chartered by Song Tingxi delivered batch after batch of classmates.

Yan Zhao had been taken to the Marshal's Mansion alone by Song Tingxi a long time ago, and then they spent a quiet time reading together in the study.

He Yexuan and Lu Yunqi also arrived one after another, but did not see Guan You.

"Ayou is preparing for the coming-of-age ceremony in the palace." Song Tingxi closed the book, shrugged and said, "The ceremony takes one day, including the parade, and the whole process is very troublesome."

"Master." The maid came to the study and reported to him, "All the guests are here."

As the host, Song Tingxi could not avoid saying a toast. He looked at the two people in the study and finally entrusted Yan Zhao to He Yexuan:

"Help me take good care of him and don't let those blind classmates bully him."

Song Tingxi, who said this, completely forgot that he was the one who took the lead in bullying Yan Zhao from the beginning.

He Yexuan didn't pay too much attention to campus gossip, so he patted his chest and agreed. Yan Zhao was not a person who liked to settle old scores, so only Lu Yunqi snorted disdainfully.

None of the three people like to be in the limelight. When Song Tingxi was speaking, they stood at the back of the banquet hall.

Even though the banquet hall was tall and large, with hundreds of people pouring in, it still seemed overcrowded.

Yan Zhao felt short of breath, so he said something in He Yexuan's ear, and walked towards the side door through the gap in the crowd before he could object.

After passing through the corridors of the Marshal's Mansion, Yan Zhao came to the garden of the atrium. He looked up at the blue satellite in the sky and stood quietly for a while.

The bracelet rang. It was a family member I had not contacted for a long time.

"Brother, Happy New Year's Day!" My sister Yan Wan's lively voice came along the radio waves.

"Wanwan, how have you been studying lately?"

Yan Wan is a little girl who is still in middle school. She is always pampered at home. Unlike Yan Zhao, she hates studying and tries to muddle through every time.

"Brother, why are you so concerned about your studies even after you are in college? You should enjoy your social life! I heard that there are many charming aristocratic handsome guys at Imperial College, what do you think? Does my brother know anyone?"

"There are indeed many nobles, handsome or not...I'm not good at aesthetics, so I can't say. If you can get into Imperial College, you can come and have a look."

"Brother, it's here again! Mom, brother is really nagging me again..." Yan Wan said a few words to the mother next to him, and then it was her mother who answered the phone.

"Zhao Zhao." Yan's mother chatted with Yan Zhao about school life for a while, her tone soft and not intimate. Yan Zhao was not very good at small talk and always asked and answered questions.

"Wanwan is about to go on winter vacation. How about letting her come to you for a trip?"

Yan Zhao cut to the chase and Yan Zhao was not surprised.

"There is no problem in traveling, but our school does not allow outsiders to stay overnight. I'm afraid I will have to find another place later."

"How can that be done?" Yan's mother's voice suddenly rose. She soon realized that she had lost her temper and lowered her voice again and said, "Zhao Zhao, you know that our family has no money to afford the travel expenses, and you can't bear to have your sister trapped on the edge of the planet. Are you knowledgeable? She is not as good at reading as you are, so there is absolutely no way she can pass the exam..."

After a pause, Yan's mother suggested: "Shao Jie's advertisements are often played on TV recently. He is so popular, isn't he? As long as you ask, he will definitely provide Wanwan with a place to stay."

Yan Zhao rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that the starlight in the sky was inexplicably dazzling.

"Mom, Shao Jie has just made his debut."

"It's not a problem that he just debuted!" Yan Mu said categorically, "Even in a place like ours where there is no Star Network, his advertisements are broadcast on TV all day long. You can imagine how high his share of advertising fees will be."

"Zhaozhao, you have to understand mom. You are determined to join the Galaxy Army, but your body... is destined not to get a high position. If you ask me to accept your fate and get married, it would be good to find a classmate at Imperial College... …”

"That's enough, Mom." Yan Zhao's voice became colder than ever before, "I will receive Wan Wan, and ask her to contact me before coming. There is nothing wrong with my body. There are so many people mutated in the interstellar era, and I am not the only one. .”

"Mom was wrong..." After achieving her goal, Yan's mother became gentle again. After some greetings, she hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Yan Zhao took off his headphones, put them back into his bracelet, and sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry." A deep voice suddenly came from behind him. Yan Zhao turned around and saw that it was Guan You.

He was sitting on a leafy tree with very strong branches. He had one leg bent and the other slenderly hanging down. He lowered his head and met Yan Zhao's eyes.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"It's okay." Yan Zhao replied lowly and lowered his head.

The corners of Guan You's mouth twitched a few times. He bit his cheek unnaturally and said comfortingly, "Have you ever heard that every family has sutras that are difficult to recite?"

Yan Zhao shook his head: "But I think Her Majesty the Queen is a kind and beautiful person, and His Majesty the Emperor is always wise and mighty in the promotional videos."

Guan You smiled and fell to the ground quietly. He was wearing a pure white suit and a beige tie. He was still covered with grass leaves, standing in the courtyard full of flowers, with a calm expression and handsome features. Yan Zhao looked at him and suddenly understood what kind of temperament it was to be handsome.

"You didn't attend the banquet?" Guan You asked.

"It's too noisy." Yan Zhao was still wearing his school uniform.

Although he was shorter than Guan You, his temperament was clear and bright, standing like a green bamboo. When he first walked into the courtyard, Guan You noticed him, but did not take the initiative to say hello.

Maybe it's because Yan Zhao is relatively quiet and doesn't make Guan You feel irritable like others.

"By the way, aren't you preparing for a coming-of-age ceremony?" Yan Zhao suddenly thought that it was unreasonable for Guan You to appear here.

"It's too noisy." Guan You reread Yan Zhao's words.

Yan Zhao chuckled. Guan You's appearance broke the dullness just now. Yan Zhao no longer thought about his mother's injustice to himself and his sister, and became interested in asking about the process of the coming-of-age ceremony.

"After getting up in the morning and dressing up, we go to worship our ancestors. The process of worshiping our ancestors is very complicated. Everyone with a title must kneel on the steps... After that, there will be a mecha exercise. I will personally drive one of them..."

"There are also mecha exercises?!" Yan Zhao was really interested now.

"Well, I will introduce some new weapons." Guan You met his eyes and saw those shiny cat-like pupils. He suddenly felt that it would be a sin not to explain in detail.

"Okay, anyway, it will be announced in a few days. There is a new type of land and sea boat that has a stealth function when flying in the air..."
