Stranded on a Deserted Island, What to Do?

The New Year is one of the most important festivals of the Sheng Dynasty Empire, and the government will hold parades to celebrate on this day.Nobles from all over the country will go to the capital to meet the queen, and the royal family will open part of the palace to entertain guests.

What the common people are most fond of talking about is who will be the lucky one who can be received by the Queen every year.On this day at the end of the year, the queen will meet ten civilians selected by lottery and listen to their opinions or suggestions.

This is the tradition of the royal family. Although there are more and more show elements nowadays, it has become the highlight of every year because it is enough to entertain the public.Aspiring and aspiring participants hope to take this opportunity to show their talents, while those who join in the fun just hope to see the Queen up close.

At this time in previous years, the whole country is already full of festive atmosphere, but this year is different.Since Hezhou declared its independence, the atmosphere of the empire has been sluggish all the way.Although the celebration was held as usual, the royal family canceled this year's gathering of nobles, showing a cautious attitude.

Just as the public speculated whether this session of interviewing civilians would also be cancelled, the royal family announced the list of interviewees.In order to ensure the safety of the queen, the identity and background of the civilians will be investigated in detail before the interview. This year's procedure is particularly strict.

Ten civilians were finally able to enter the palace after undergoing a thorough security check, and four sentries from the guard regiment escorted the group to the queen's reception room.This is the place where the queen entertains foreign guests, dignitaries and accepts interviews. This time the interview is also broadcast live by satellite.

During this tense period, the defense of the palace was more stringent, and the ten people were taken to the waiting room to wait for the queen to summon them.

Hua Cui only 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 only had half an hour to rest before the live broadcast started.

The queen was lying on a massage chair with her eyes closed, wearing a steam eye mask, and the faceless man stood silently behind her.

"Azheng, help me pour me a glass of water." Hua Cuu crossed her hands on her stomach, and her voice sounded a bit tired.

The faceless man obeyed the king's orders, and while pouring water for her, he said, "You shouldn't call me that."

"Can't it be when it's just the two of us?"

Blossom opened the blindfold and looked at her, just as the faceless man passed the cup into her hand.The flower cluster didn't take it immediately, but stared at her.The two stalemate for a while, and the Faceless Man is finally defeated.

"Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Only then did the flower cluster take the water glass, showing a victorious smile.

The Faceless Man waited quietly for her to finish drinking the water, and then handed her a plate of caramel biscuits.

"Eat as much as you want, 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 someone who is prepared and ready to make a long speech, but really Those with insight and talent will not interrupt their speeches in principle.

There was once an interviewer who wrote a 2-word speech and spent two hours explaining his point of view, which made the king fall asleep at that time.Even better, he became Chancellor of the Empire a decade later, always bringing the experience up as an anecdote, bringing the tradition even more attention.

Hua Tuo could hardly eat sweets, so he pushed the biscuit away and shook his head, "No more, is there anything sour?"

Probably due to too much pressure, she has lost her appetite recently, and she has lost a lot of weight.

"Then eat some plums." The Faceless Man took a stack of candied fruit from the tea table and handed it to her. "You should stay in the palace to rest at night. The situation in Hebei New District is stable, so there is no need to rush back overnight."

Although the transportation is convenient now, the journey still makes people feel tired.Moreover, the atmosphere at the frontline command post was tense, and the situation in the Hebei New Area that had just been recovered was complicated, so it was better to stay in the capital for the New Year.

Hua Tuo shook her head, "No, the situation in the new area is still unclear. There are many emergencies that need to be decided. I can improve efficiency there."

"Not everything needs to be decided by the king."

Hua Cu raised her eyebrows, "Of course I don't need it normally, but now the situation is special...don't settle the matter quickly, when can I go to find Mu Mu?"

For Hua Cu, Hua Ce's behavior is nothing more than a desperate struggle. If it didn't happen that Hua Mu disappeared, she wouldn't mind even if she was tortured slowly.

The queen's heart is not about national affairs but about the love of her children, which seems to make the leader a little helpless.

"It seems that your father's decision is still correct. To some extent, you are really not suitable to be a queen, let alone Huajian."

Blossom used to get angry at the Faceless Man's views, but now she has learned to laugh it off.

"Whether it's suitable or not, I'm already a queen. For the people, a humane monarch is not a bad thing. Besides, don't you still have you? It's enough for you to think about sensible things. As for Ah Jian... If he is not here, it would be wronged him to worry about his official duties. If it were not for Mu Mu, he would probably go directly to guard the tomb after Simin's death."

Grand Duke Huajian's infatuation is very famous in the empire, so even though it is rumored that he lives a luxurious life and behaves absurdly, there are still many female fans supporting him.

"The two of you are sisters and brothers, one is taking care of my sister... and the other is working hard for my younger brother."

Hua Tu looked at her and smiled ambiguously, "Are you jealous? Who made infatuation a 'tradition' of the royal family? After the abolition of multiple concubines, the relationship between children will naturally be harmonious. Look, even Hua Ce is as ambitious People would rather break the rules and marry Alisa. Even if Derek hadn't awakened, he never had the idea of ​​a sequel."

"...Aside from infatuation, isn't widowhood also a tradition?"

As if it were a curse, the relationship between husband and wife among members of the royal family was harmonious and loving, and the other half passed away as early as possible.With today's advanced technology, the average age of ordinary people reaches 100 years old, and sentries and guides can even live to 200 years old when they die abnormally. It is very rare for them to die before the age of 40.

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 less than 2% lived to the end of their lives.Today, among the closest direct relatives, Grand Duke Hua Jian’s wife passed away when she was only 22 years old, and Hua Ce’s spouse Alisa also suffered an accident when she was less than 30 years old. Wei's wife also passed away early without leaving a son and a half daughter.Not to mention the former king Hua Yuandu, Hua Ce's father Hua Yuanqing and others.

The names of these elders in the flower cluster are taken from Ziwei, the capital of Qing Dynasty. The third child directly used two words because his mother died of dystocia.

Although it is not said on the surface, some scholars have already proposed the tradition of royal widowhood in anonymous forums.There are also many people who believe that the monarch who announces that he is not married is to protect his lover.

Hua Cu didn't expect the other party to believe this, and showed a playful smile.

"Do you believe this? Simin's health has been bad since she was a child, and Ah Jian has long been mentally prepared to marry her. Now that there are only a few bloodlines close to the royal family, how can such a small statistical sample be regarded as a scientific conclusion?" ? If you extrapolate forward, you have to consider the average age at that time, right?" The queen believed in science and scoffed at the so-called 'tradition'. It's also a curse. What's the matter? You don't want to go to Hezhou yourself, is it because of this?"

Hua Tuo never worried about the zither, because in her heart, the strength of the zither has surpassed the level of ordinary people.She really couldn't imagine anything that could hurt her, and she believed that the other party also had such confidence.She said this sentence completely to pass the time to fight with Huazheng, and she was ready for the other party to laugh at "I'm not your lover" back, but she didn't expect the faceless man to say something that made her unbelievable after a moment of silence .

"Even if it's just adoption...I was once a member of the royal family after all."

Since Hua Tuo came to the throne, Hua Zheng has never left her side, guarding her side like a shadow.But she always thought that the other party just took this as a mission.

Because she couldn't forget about it... At that time, she had to tell herself often that "this person has no heart", so as not to misunderstand some of her actions and words.

Hua Zheng is very rational, Hua Zheng is very evil, Hua Zheng does not understand love, Hua Zheng is just a universal robot prepared by her father, but she has to obey her.

But such words are definitely not something a heartless person can say, right?

"come here."

Hua Tuo's mood fluctuated, Wei Wei sat up and waved towards the faceless man.

Without hesitation, Huazheng squatted down to her feet obediently.

It was rare for the queen to embrace her guard generously, and said with a smile, "What do you mean by that?"

"Explain why I can't leave your side."

"Then you admit..." the queen bit her lip, a little shy, "I am your lover?"

The sentry asked in a puzzled tone, "Why do you understand this? Isn't what we're talking about about your safety?"

The flower cluster was about to die of anger, pinched the faceless man's thin back, and said ruthlessly: "We are talking about the royal family's widowed tradition, isn't it because you are worried about me... that's it?"

"Is that so? Of course Hua Ce will find ways to target you in such an urgent situation. I'm worried why do you need other reasons?"

The queen found herself being played again, and was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Hua Zheng, go to hell!"

The entire empire was watching the live broadcast of today's meeting between the queen and the common people. The queen personally informed the news of the recovery of the Hebei New District, which brought a good end to this slightly turbulent year.

No one doubts the victory of this war. As long as the queen firmly holds the power of the tower, Hua Ce will not be able to turn over any huge waves.What everyone cares about is how to reduce losses and casualties. Now the royal family has handed in an answer sheet that most people are quite satisfied with.

The meeting was still full of situations as in previous years. There were uncles who fainted because of excitement, and young people who had to be interrupted after talking eloquently. Of course, there were also some warm scenes.

The last lucky one was a five-year-old girl who happened to be from the newly liberated Hebei New District. Everyone was speculating that this was a grand event deliberately arranged by the royal family.The little girl was very delicate and cute, and her childish words made everyone laugh frequently. The queen even got up and walked to the audience to hug her, which was rare.

But just when the audience was about to witness this historic hug, a black figure suddenly flew across the camera, followed by a strong flame and a huge explosion - the live broadcast was interrupted.

The author has something to say: You can't let the protagonist group go back and have nothing to do, right?
