It rained for almost the entire day and only slowly stopped in the evening.
Ling Ping'an yawned lazily and looked outside the door at the pedestrians coming and going. He looked at his cat and said, "Little darling..."
"How many days have we not opened?"
"It seems to have been three days, right?!"
Meow!
The kitten meowed softly.
Ling Ping'an also sighed.
Last month, he had earned enough water and electricity bills in one day!
He scratched his head and began to hesitate. Should he continue to apply for the 'College Student Entrepreneurship Special Subsidy' next month?
He had no choice. The bookstore's business was too bleak.
If he applied again, it would seem a little shameless.
It was equivalent to blatantly fleecing the country!
"How about..." Ling Ping'an looked at his pet, "Let's not apply..."
Thinking about it carefully, his monthly allowance added up to more than 7,000.
Living expenses and so on are enough.
As long as he didn't go out and pay the IQ tax, there was no pressure at all.
Meow!
The kitten meowed softly.
"Face the wind!" His phone rang.
Ling Ping'an picked it up and looked at it.
400100, the number of the Federal Empire's Meritorious Children's Committee.
His expression was a little ugly.
"Again?" He frowned.
However, he had no choice but to smile bitterly and pick up the phone.
"Hello..."
"Hello..." a sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Young Master Ling, I'm Qin Keqing, the private secretary of Her Highness the Great Elder Princess Rouan..."
"I spoke to you last time..."
"Oh..." Ling Ping'an remembered. It seemed that there was such a thing? So he asked, "Secretary Qin, what's the matter?"
"It's like this..." the other party said with a smile, "Her Highness the Great Elder Princess Rouan and His Majesty the Emperor are concerned about the descendants of the Empire's meritorious service..."
"They plan to hold a fellowship party for the descendants of meritorious service in the imperial capital in the middle of next month..."
"At that time, Her Highness the Great Elder Princess and His Majesty will personally attend..."
"I wonder if you have time?"
Ling Ping'an heard this and immediately felt a headache.
Fellowship party?
One terrifying memory after another surfaced in his mind.
A boring cocktail party...
A gorgeously dressed woman...
The descendants of the nobles who opened their mouths with 'small goals' and 'small things'...
Also, there was a dazzling luxury car parked at the entrance.
Of course, the most important thing was the superficial look in their eyes.
In any case, Ling Ping'an had a very bad impression of the sorority!
Competition and covetousness were everywhere.
Everyone was like a peacock spreading its tail, surrounding a few focal points.
More importantly, the food at the sorority was really disgusting!
Cold food that tasted like plastic …
Cups of old wine that would make one drunk just by smelling it …
And the smell of makeup in the air …
This was just a fellowship party in Guangnan Governor District!
Who knew what would happen to the Imperial Capital's sorority?
In any case, Ling Ping'an was afraid of this kind of thing.
Thus, he immediately rejected, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Royal Highness, for your kind intentions …"
"This one is flattered …"
"It's just …" He thought about it and said, "I have some things to deal with here …"
"Please understand, Secretary Qin …"
After that, he hung up the phone as if he was running for his life.
Then he patted his chest.
"How scary …" He looked at his pet, a lingering fear in his heart. "Too scary!"
Fellowship Party?
Spare him!
It was purely a waste of time and energy.
In the end, he even had to come back hungry …
It was too tragic!
It was too tragic!
In any case, after going there once when he was sixteen years old, Ling Ping'an was determined not to go there a second time!
Was it interesting?
Listening to others brag!
Then, he looked at the group of people and looked at himself with the eyes of shopping in the supermarket.
He was not a commodity!
He also refused to become a commodity!
Meow!
The little guy jumped into his master's arms and rubbed against him intimately.
He seemed to agree with this!
Yes …
How could a lowly mortal be worthy of his master?
… …
Qin Keqing listened to the beeping on the phone …
Her pretty face gradually turned frosty.
The second time!
This was the second time!
Moreover, the rejection was extremely decisive!
Even His Majesty the Emperor and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess couldn't let him come to the imperial capital?
Wasn't this lord a little too arrogant?
At this moment, the red phone on the desk rang.
Qin Keqing immediately grabbed it and said in an incomparably respectful tone, "I am Qin Keqing..."
"Yes..."
"Young Master Ling refused..." Qin Keqing lowered her head respectfully, "Yes... he said that he had something to deal with..."
"I am guilty..."
"Your Highness... do you want me to make a trip personally?"
"Okay... I understand..."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Keqing wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Then, she looked at the computer screen. The file was completely covered by the word 'top secret'.
"What the hell is going on?" She thought.
Last month, everything about this descendant of a Class A meritorious service could still be consulted.
But now …
Everything about him was already top secret.
And it was the highest level of top secret!
The Federal Committee for Children of Meritorious Service in Jiangcheng City had once wanted to visit him personally.
In the end, a ban was pasted on his face.
The Blackguard announced that any unauthorized disturbance was' endangering national security '!
Even the Federal Committee for Children of Meritorious Service.
They could not come into contact with it without approval and permission.
And this approval authority was actually in the hands of the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard.
This was too abnormal!
What was even more abnormal was Her Highness the Eldest Princess\'s attitude.
As far as Qin Keqing knew, this sorority was not part of the plan.
It had been a long time since the Empire\'s Children of Meritorious Service held such an empire -wide sorority.
In the past 30 years, similar sororities were all organized and held by the local authorities.
The Empire\'s Children of Meritorious Service was only responsible for one thing--coordinating and arranging the employment, love, and childbirth of the children of meritorious service throughout the country and providing financial subsidies.
And this time, the Eldest Princess suddenly took the lead to hold a national sorority for the children of meritorious service.
That was very surprising.
What was even more surprising was …
This descendant of a Class A meritorious service whose files were all top secret seemed to be the only candidate personally invited by the Eldest Princess.
The others were all notified by the Meritorious Service Committee in the form of mail.
This was the only one she had personally called to invite, and she had been cleanly rejected!
The reason for the rejection was that he still had things to deal with.
That was very exaggerated.
Things?
What was more important than coming to the imperial capital?
That was an honor that many people dreamed of!
Qin Keqing couldn\'t help but sigh.
"Her Highness the Eldest Princess probably won\'t give up..." she thought.
As the personal secretary of the Eldest Princess Rouan, she knew her Lord\'s personality very well.
She had to do what she wanted to do!
Her personality was not like that of a woman. Even many men might not have the determination and decisiveness of that Her Highness the Eldest Princess.
Otherwise, after the death of the former Emperor, she would not be the regent.
Although the current royal family ruled from the top and never interfered with the affairs of the commoners.
But there were still a lot of things to do in the royal family.
Just the normal foreign affairs activities every year were a test.
Not to mention, the committees directly led by the royal family were the hubs directly connecting the metropolitan territory and the independent kingdoms.
The huge federal empire could last for three hundred years without splitting up.
Other than the cultural traditions and realistic interests that had existed since ancient times, the most important link was the royal family.
The idea of loyalty to the monarch was still the mainstream idea within the empire even now.
After all, Emperor Taizu had set a very good example back then. He publicly announced that\ 'the heavens listen to us and the people listen to\' and directly linked the source of the legitimacy of the monarch to the people of the world.
In this way, the emperor became the son of the people.
Being ordered by the heavens became being ordered by the people.
But this, in turn, put forward extremely strict requirements for the royal family.
Since it was ordered by the people, then the royal family must appear to meet the expectations of the people.
And the committees directly led by the royal family were the windows to show their image to the outside world.
And since the Eldest Princess Her Highness the Regent, under her leadership, all the committees had undergone drastic reforms.
It made the image of the royal family completely new.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that she was a woman, she wouldn\'t want to break the tradition and cause a constitutional crisis.
Perhaps, as the Empress, it wasn\'t impossible for her to rule the world!
Thinking of this, Qin Keqing stood up. She walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, and looked downstairs.
The Eldest Princess\'s car was slowly driving out of the courtyard.
"As expected..." Qin Keqing thought, "Her Highness won\'t compromise easily..."
The direction of that car was the residence of the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard!
… …
Ling Ping\ 'an took his phone and ordered a takeout.
He was still a little scared.
He simply put his phone in the drawer.
Sighing deeply, he refreshed the author platform on his computer.
25...
The speed was gratifying!
Under the circumstances of running naked, such a speed made him feel very at ease.
Thus, he crossed his legs in satisfaction and turned on the television.
It was already seven o\ 'clock.
It was time for the news, and he was used to watching the news.
On the television screen, a place that looked like a trench appeared.
A few large-caliber howitzers appeared in front of the camera.
Some soldiers in military uniforms were nervously preparing in the trench.
One shell after another was pushed into the barrel of the cannon.
The camera pulled forward. On the vast wilderness, one armor group after another was rolling forward. There were at least hundreds of tanks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The cannons began to roar. Shells were fired one after another, and steel shells flew everywhere.
Ling Ping\ 'an opened his mouth wide as he watched.
At this moment, the voiceover began to appear, "Everyone, what you see on the screen is the border between the Northern Tianzhu Republic and the Southern Tianzhu Kingdom..."
"It is reported that the Northern Tianzhu Republic accused the Southern Tianzhu Kingdom of being responsible for the many tragedies that happened on its border a month ago..."
"And the Southern Tianzhu Kingdom refuted the relevant accusations of the Northern Tianzhu Republic and alleged that this was done by extremists in the Northern Tianzhu Kingdom..."
Ling Ping\ 'an looked and sighed, "They\'re fighting again..."
In his memory, the Tianzhu subcontinent was similar to the Kunlun state.
A large number of countries were at war with each other.
Almost every year, there would be a piece of news.
"Why can\'t there be a war?" Ling Ping\ 'an shook his head.
What was so good about war?
He couldn\'t figure it out!
Couldn\'t they sit down and discuss things?
Unfortunately...
His words carried little weight, so he could only sigh in the bookstore.
