 Shi Xing thought that after going through such a situation, and being next to Chi Yao, he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep for various reasons.

It is true that I think too much.

The truth is, his worry has not yet come to the fore, he hugged the pillow and quilt, and pulled the quilt on His Highness's big bed. As soon as he put on the pillow, he only had time to say "Good night, Your Highness", and he would not wake up when he closed his eyes up.

Before Chi Yao could say good night, he laughed when he heard the sound of breathing in his ears evenly.

Standing up, I looked at Shi Xing quietly for a while under the faint light projected from the window, and pinched the kid's cheeks. Although it had grown a little, and looked like a young man, I could still feel full of collagen in my hands. Not very old.

"Good night, Xing Xing."

After speaking, he wrapped the person in a thin blanket, stretched out an arm to embrace him, and closed his eyes.

After a few days of exhaustion and chaos, they are actually very tired.

In the palace, Shi Xing and Chi Yao rested early.

Another place in the imperial capital, the reception and lodging place of the diplomats of the Imperial Placement Alliance, is another scene.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as gloomy.

Jane Miller relies on her high status in the cabinet, and is even more prudent in the alliance. She has always spoken and acted arbitrarily, so this time he visited the Empire with him, a bachelor, and several serious diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No one dared to steal his limelight, so they all gave up the right to speak to Miller, who led the diplomatic team.

But... They didn't want Miller to lead the team like this!

Everyone knows that the empire needs energy from the alliance, but the alliance also has border demands on the empire!

After Chi Yao forcefully "pleased" them away, everyone was in a daze, and when they returned to their residence, their intuition was broken.

But even if it is known that the source of the problem lies in the diplomatic team of the alliance, the alliance has a high status in the galaxy, and Tianyuan star is one of the six planets that formed the alliance. Turning around, while apologizing with shame, everyone still has a little luck in their hearts-the

empire is not an energy star, and there are not a lot of high-quality crystal mines in the satellites and surrounding desolate stars. According to the agreement, the mother tree is rooted in a top-level mineral vein in the imperial capital, so it has ruined itself... There should be a big gap in the empire's demand for energy. Looking at the entire galaxy, only the alliance can fill this gap.

Today, His Majesty the Empire and Bachelor Miller may have just been excited for a while, and each of them refused to retreat.

It took four hundred years from the establishment of diplomatic relations between the alliance and the empire, and the cooperation of the borders firmly bound the two regimes.

Maybe it was just a moment of anger, they waited patiently, and the empire would send someone to appease them later?

Of course, there is a problem with Tianyuan star, even if it is not appeased, the empire will treat it as if there is no such thing. Afterwards, diplomatic exchanges will continue as usual, and the diplomats from the alliance will not bring up the old matter again, and will cooperate to turn a blind eye. , this matter is over.

After all, severing diplomatic relations is not a trivial matter. The conflict erupted so quickly and violently that they hadn't reacted yet. Alliance officials didn't believe that there would be no voices of opposition within the empire.

So hold back your temper and wait.

Waiting and waiting, a notice came later from the reception officials of the empire, informing them that their spaceship had been overhauled, and the empire had also donated some spar crystal nuclei as energy sources to fill the power cabin.

Ask them to pack up and give the Imperial Foreign Office a promise when they can leave, so that the Foreign Ministry can arrange for them to leave the port of the Empire and send them away "properly".

Miller: "..."

Alliance diplomats: "..."

As soon as the imperial reception staff left, the Alliance residence immediately exploded.

"What do you mean, the empire is serious and wants to break off diplomatic relations?"

"Could it be, just to scare us." "

The overhaul report and energy filling status of the spaceship are here. Use this to scare us? If they don't want us to go, they will leave overnight." Why overhaul the spaceship?!"

"But they didn't drive us away, maybe it was just a lot of thunder and rain, and they wanted us to take the initiative to admit our mistakes and make amends?" "If we really want to

break off diplomatic relations, these are far from enough. What about the agreements signed in previous years? It's useless to say that driving us away."

"But if it's not true, they can deal with it calmly today and keep silent for a few days, and then we'll see who passes the steps. This matter will be over like this, there's no need to rush us Let's go, don't consider our emotions at all, what will we do next?"

"Enough!"

Seeing the noisy crowd in the room, Jane Miller slapped the table. Miller scolded: "It's just a reminder

. If you panic, please be quiet. " People have complaints, but they dare not speak up. Anyway, everyone is in the same situation now, no one is better than the other.







When everyone left the room, Miller sat and thought for a while, and suddenly said to the adjutant, "Since we are going to leave, you can ask the Empire to arrange the latest interstellar port time, and when can we leave at the earliest." The adjutant was

surprised In his eyes, Miller calmly said, "The empire's move is to put pressure on them. Now that they retreat, both parties must retreat. If they don't retreat, we can't either. We just have to suffer.

" Attitude, an attitude that is not afraid of breaking diplomatic relations with the empire.

But it's different from Chi Yao.

Chi Yao is really not afraid, and Miller's option does not have the option of breaking off the relationship at all, he is fierce and soft, yes.

Convinced in his heart that the empire would not dare to sever diplomatic relations easily, Miller wanted to hold on to the moment when the empire handed over the steps with a seemingly tough posture.

However, the consequences of doing so were the opposite of what he had imagined.

Early the next morning, the Imperial Foreign Minister and Deputy Minister came to a large area.

They were told that the time they would be able to leave Hong Kong was not counted, and they also sent a letter of suspension of the diplomatic agreement with the alliance. Miller, who saw the border agreement in it, couldn't hold on and shook his body.

According to Wei Wan's instructions, the diplomats put down the suspension papers and left without answering the notification after the notification was in place.

But Jane Miller persisted until everyone had left, and before the diplomats could cry, she took the first look and passed out.

I'm getting old, and I'm anxious.

When Yoyo woke up, all the diplomats in the room were watching him, and Jane Miller said weakly, "Bring me the termination of the agreement, and I'll have a look.

" eyes.

But the heart is extremely heavy.

Without him, he was wrong, the empire is going to be strong this time.

If the empire does not retreat, but still wants to continue diplomatic cooperation and make trouble like this...the only way is to withdraw from the alliance.

The alliance retreated...

Miller wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and forced himself to calm down, "Help me dial the prime minister's communication. I need to contact the prime minister." The

relationship has fermented to this point. After contacting, naturally there is no good fruit for him to eat.

However, this is not the point now.

Compared to being dismissed from the Alliance, Miller is more worried that the news will be sent back to the Alliance, and he will be dismissed from the Empire. Then his hard work in the cabinet for more than a hundred years will become a joke.

The place where the diplomats stayed was miserable, but the palace was rare and peaceful.

When Shi Xing woke up, it was almost noon, he yawned, fell asleep, sat on the bed for a while, and then got up.

The robot detected him getting up, and after a while, Yan Changyue arrived.

Not seeing Chi Yao, it is expected that he got up early to deal with official business, Shi Xing was washing up in the bathroom, and heard a knock on the door halfway, and called in.

When Yan Changyue entered, what he saw was a messy bed and a neat one.

After a moment of silence, as an excellent servant, Yan Changyue calmly ordered the robot to clean up the bed.

When Shi Xing came out sleepily from the bathroom, Yan Changyue had already picked out today's clothes and accessories for him.

Shi Xing took it, and yawned again, he was full and overslept.

Although his head was a little dizzy, there was no doubt that Shi Xing had the most relaxed and comfortable day after the visit of the alliance diplomats.

Chi Yao also woke up, and it was Shi Xing's happiest morning.

After changing the clothes, it was not the simple clothes you would wear in the palace every day, it was like the style you used when meeting His Highness the Tree Nest. It was simple in general, but complicated and solemn could still be seen in the details.

Yan Changyue gave Shi Xing a brooch that symbolized his identity, and said, "I don't know what will happen to the diplomacy with the alliance these two days. President Ren and Speaker Wei arrived early in the morning, and Wei Wenshu also stayed in the study on the second floor all morning. , I guess it is to tell His Majesty about this matter, Uncle Xu said that diplomats will come at any time, and let everyone dress a little more formally these two days."

Shi Xing nodded.

When Yan Changyue backed away, Shi Xing realized that it was Chi Yao who gave him the other brooch.

Shi Xing wondered, "Does this brooch have any symbolic meaning?"

Yan Changyue said, "It's for His Majesty the Empire and his partner."

Oh, so.

Shi Xing looked at the mirror again, touched the brooch full of precious stones, and suddenly smiled.

There is no reason, just a good mood and want to laugh.

But as his eyes moved down, Shi Xing's smile froze on his face quickly. On his neck, was... what?

Shi Xing pawed, opened his collar, and there were bruises on his skin...

his mind slowly turned.

When Shi Xing realized it later, it seemed that Chi Yao bit it last night.

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing: "Officer Yan, wait a moment."

Shi Xing went to the bathroom again, lifted his clothes, and fell silent. There were a few lumps on his body, which were neither painful nor itchy, but looked a little scary, as if he had suffered something I'll do the same.

Wait, at that time, was it so powerful?

Shi Xing couldn't figure it out, he couldn't feel these details at that time, he... only felt Chi Yao... the

details of last night emerged, Shi Xing's ears were slightly warm, he glanced at the corner of his bitten mouth, and sighed He took a deep breath, thought about it, and went out.

Yan Changyue must have seen it a long time ago, the servant's eyes are always sharp.

But since he didn't mention it, Shi Xing couldn't take the initiative to discuss it.

After exchanging a few more words, Shi Xing still looked awake and went to the study.

Now that he has suffrage, he contacted Tang Mi, knocked on the door, and went into the study. Opposite Chi Yao was the three civil servants Yan Changyue had mentioned, Ren Yanyong, Wei Zhen, and Wei Wan.

Shi Xing greeted Chi Yao, accepted the salute of the three of them, and said, "Go ahead, I'll sit on the side and listen. I've been here for the past few days. If there is anything to add, I will speak." After a

while Son, Yan Changyue brought breakfast to Shi Xing into Chi Yao's study.

With the experience of going to the northern border, Shi Xing didn't think much of it. When he recovered from his illness, Chi Yao told him to go to the study to rest and entertain himself for an afternoon. Now he just eats something in the study, which is nothing.

And as lunch was approaching, Yan Changyue didn't bring in too many things, and considering the civil servants, the food didn't have a strong smell.

Chi Yao is okay, and even told him, "Don't worry, eat slowly."

But Ren Yanyong, Wei Zhen and Wei Wan were shocked.

Yan Changyue came out of the study, knowing that Shixing would not need him for the time being, so he turned to Xu Jin and told him what he saw this morning.

Without hesitation, Xu Jin said with high mobility, "It's a bit cramped to have two beds in His Majesty's room. Since they are sleeping together, then put the other bed back in its place and replace the bed in the master bedroom with a detachable one."

The so-called detachable bed is usually one bed, but in special periods, after setting up, it can be divided into two beds.

Most of the royal family members who live in the same room with their partners use this type of room.

Xu Jin sent a message request to Chi Yao.

I was quickly replied with a good word.

Xu Jin took Yan Changyue upstairs, and tidied up the master bedroom when he didn't need it during the day, so that it would be convenient for Chi Yao and Shi Xing at night.

During the process, Yan Changyue asked again, "What about the bedroom of Xingxing in the opposite room, do we need to remove it?"

Xu Jin, an experienced servant, shook his head, "No, who doesn't have a time to quarrel? I don't want to see it, it just so happens that Xingxing or His Majesty have a place to go, so there's no need to call us and make them feel ashamed."

Yan Changyue sincerely admired Xu Jin's thoughtfulness.

When Shi Xing finished a small breakfast, everyone just finished chatting.

The three of them were left to dine in the palace, and the civil officials left one after another to go to another study to deal with the affairs that Chi Yao had instructed.

Shi Xing only heard a conclusion, and when the people finished walking, he asked Chi Yao: "What did you say? Diplomacy?"

Chi Yao: "Well, I just talked to you last night, and I repeated it today."

Shi Xing was also confused about other things, he was not in the mood to ask questions last night, and he has the energy to care about it today after getting enough sleep.

"The diplomats of the alliance, just... let them go back?"

Chi Yao showed a slight smile, "That also depends on their willingness to go back."

Hearing some tricks, Shi Xing: "?"

When Shixing's appetite was enough, Chi Yao explained, "The alliance is subdivided, and there are six main regimes. This time Tianyuan star is not sensible. Even if Tianyuan star recognizes the severance of diplomatic relations, the other five planets will not Recognize."

In other words, the alliance is not an alliance of one planet in Tianyuan.

But Tianyuan star is a planet belonging to the alliance.

"Miller must have thought that I was scaring him at first. I have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see off the guests step by step, and the agreement to terminate the agreement has also been sent. When they realize the attitude of the empire, whether they want to leave hard or have no backbone. , It's up to them."

Shi Xing thought for a while and pointed out, "But in fact, it's up to Miller to choose, right?"

"If according to what you said, the alliance is a combination of six regimes, even if Miller doesn't want to come back, the other five If the attitude of this planet is firm, then he must come back."

Shi Xingkai said conditionally, "I don't care, if he wants to come back, he has to apologize to us." After a pause, he

added, "A written apology, the kind posted on the star website. "

Chi Yao smiled, "This proposal is good, I will tell Tang Mi later, and put it to Wei Wan."

Chi Yao did not deny Shi Xing's guess, and praised, "You have a good idea, you have started government affairs, Xing Xing." Shi

Xing star:"......"

Shi Xing is serious: "Your Highness, you have clearly given me the answer."

"Do I have it?"

Listening to Chi Yao's tone of knowingly asking, Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing: "Well, I am a genius Extraordinary!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."

Chi Yao's smile widened, and Shi Xing was slightly teasing when he spoke, and after a while, he didn't hold back, and laughed with Chi Yao in the eyes, not knowing what he was laughing at, but Just a good mood.

After eating at noon, Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen had a series of follow-up reports. Chi Yao handed Shi Xing a few copies and asked him to try to deal with it. He was teaching him and letting him practice.

Before the alliance diplomats came to visit, seeing this scene, Ren Yanyong's heart would still jump a few times.

Now, Ren Yanyong is numb and even feels that this scene is very harmonious.

How to put it, at least compared to the immediate issue of severing diplomatic relations, it is really a small matter.

Moreover, following Shi Xing to receive alliance diplomats, Ren Yanyong has changed his mind towards His Royal Highness, and feels that although he is not familiar with government affairs, Shi Xing is very clear about the general situation, which is rare.

In time, even if he can't become the second Chi Yao, Shi Xing will not be bad.

I just don't know if he can still see it during his term of office...

Tang Mi knocked on the door before he could get over his emotions.

Tang Mi saluted, "Good day, Your Majesty."

"Good day, Your Highness."

Speaking of business, "Alliance diplomats seek to see Your Majesty."

Shi Xing froze for a moment, and exchanged glances with Chi Yao. The two of them understood the signal sent by this meeting.

Since he is willing to come back, it means that the alliance has regressed.

Compared with the tough stance of the empire, the alliance is reluctant to sever diplomatic relations.

Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen didn't expect the attitude of the alliance to change so quickly, and their faces were exhausted, but before they were happy, Chi Yao replied with two words, "No see." Ren Yanyong: "!" Wei Zhen: "!

"

Shi

Xing laughed.

Seeing this, Ren Yanyong became even more desperate, and felt that there was some barrier between His Majesty and His Highness that he didn't know about.

But Chi Yao had already made a decision, and they didn't object after all, allowing Tang Mi to leave to refuse the diplomat's visit.

As soon as they left, Chi Yao looked at Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen, playing with each other, "You seem to be very disappointed."

Ren Yanyong said with some helplessness, "This is obviously a good opportunity to repair the relationship."

Chi Yao looked Xiang Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen's words are not so obvious, but the feeling of pity is the same.

Looking at Wei Wan again, Wei Wan bowed her head. She had been following Chi Yao all along, and she didn't feel it was wrong.

Finally, Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing.

Shi Xing: "I don't think there's anything wrong with His Highness's decision."

Shi Xing: "You messed with us, turned around and tried to make up, and we have to accept it right away. Shall we settle the matter? Does the empire have no temper at all?"

Ren Yanyong and Wei I really smacked it, and I think it makes sense.

Ren Yanyong: "But, did you just keep refusing like this?"

Shi Xing laughed when he heard the words, "When did Your Highness say that you kept refusing?" "President Ren

, you are too anxious about cooperating with the alliance. Take it easy and take the initiative." The power is in our hands now."

Shi Xing raised his eyes, met those smoky eyes for a moment, and said slowly.

"They are so arrogant in our territory, why don't we let us play hard to get?"

Shi Xing and Chi Yao had the same idea, "It's fine if you don't tear your face. If you tear your face, it's not difficult to reconcile. What will happen to the alliance?" Thinking about the empire, don't you think that the empire is bluffing?"

Shi Xing: "Since the face is torn apart, the alliance wants to reconcile without paying some price in the future? Dreaming!"

And the price will definitely not be a small price.

Neither Chi Yao nor he looked down on the small price.
