Chapter 541 Mirror Lake
The imperial palace of the empire is somewhat similar to the Western Baroque style of the world where Lu Chihuan lives. It covers a huge area and is a gorgeous and magnificent building constructed solely through a large number of columns, pilasters and complex, dislocated curves, which makes people dazzled unconsciously when looking at it from afar.
When Lu Chihuan traveled abroad before, he had also followed a tour guide to visit palaces in other places.
Although I was excited at that time.
But it was far less shocking than the feeling he got from the palace before him.
Does Zhou Zhi usually live in a place like this? I wonder if he usually wakes up in a 500-square-meter bed.
All of a sudden.
Lu Chihuan was really a little curious.
"arrive."
He handed over the invitation letter given to him by Marquis Nils and had the soldier guarding the door verify its authenticity. The soldier then asked the servants waiting nearby to escort Lu Chi to the resting place.
The resting place is also a palace, and most of the men and women who came to attend the banquet were arranged there.
"Your room is here."
The attendant thoughtfully opened the door and invited Lu Chihuan in. "Please take a look and see if there is anything you don't like. If so, I will change it for you immediately."
Lu Chihuan looked at the bright crystal chandeliers, gold-powdered reliefs and beautiful silk tapestries in the room, and his dark eyes widened unconsciously.
After hearing what the attendant said, he quickly shook his head and said, "No."
"Ok."
The attendant pointed to a hanging rope hanging from the bedside and explained its function. "If you have anything you want to tell me, just pull the rope a few times and I will come right over."
"As for dinner..."
"You can choose to dine in the restaurant in the palace, or you can have the food delivered to your room."
Lu Chihuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He still maintained his timid and pitiful personality, blinked his eyes and said softly, "Then can you take me to visit the restaurant?"
"This is my first time in the palace."
“I don’t know the way.”
Looking at the boy in front of him who was as innocent and pure as a little lamb, the servant's heart softened unconsciously. He lowered his voice and said, "Of course."
"I'll take you there now."
But if he remembered correctly, the young man in front of him should be the son of Marquis Nils. When did Marquis Nils give birth to such a handsome and well-behaved son? Could he be an illegitimate child?
Although the servant was full of doubts.
But it didn't show on his face.
He did his best to take Lu Chihuan to visit the palace, and introduced it in a soft voice from time to time. During this process, Lu Chihuan saw many young men and women, both alphas and betas.
These people are all good-looking.
They were probably all children of nobles of all sizes on the main planet, and their social circles overlapped, so they quickly became familiar with each other, standing together in groups of three or four and chatting, looking very natural.
Lu Chihuan spent most of his time in the main world at the Dunsen Military Academy, so he knew little about the nobles.
therefore.
At this moment, even when he saw these young masters of noble families, he did not show any fear or nervousness, but just looked at them curiously with his pair of black jade eyes.
He was originally handsome.
In addition, this look made him seem a little out of place in the crowd, thus attracting the attention of others.
Not far away, there was an aristocratic alpha who looked rather frivolous. His eyes brightened slightly when he saw Lu Chihuan's appearance, and he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows in an ambiguous way.
Then he smiled at the nobles around him and said, "Look at that."
"He's really good-looking."
"Guess how long it will take me to take him down."
This person's name is Kailan.
He is a famous playboy on the main planet with a chaotic private life, and he is almost always surrounded by companions.
The reason he attended the royal banquet this time was not to compete for the position beside the Emperor, but because his family was urging him to get married as he was old enough, so he planned to look for a suitable marriage partner at the royal banquet.
after all.
The empire still maintains the system of monogamy. Even if His Majesty the Emperor chooses the partner he wants to spend his life with at the banquet, there will still be dozens of people who are still single. He can just pick a suitable one from these people.
You have to know that any one of the people who come to the royal banquet is basically the descendant of prominent figures on the main planet, and they are worthy of a place next to him.
It’s just that Kailan is very lustful.
So when he saw Lu Chihuan, his old habit came back again. He couldn't help but want to flirt with him. It would be great if they could have a one-night stand.
The young men surrounding Kailan couldn't help but smile after hearing this. They looked at each other and said, "You don't even know how charming you are."
"I think that kid seems quite innocent. He should be able to be won over by saying a few sweet words or giving him some gifts. But Kailan, you have to restrain yourself."
"This is the palace."
"If you cause any trouble, His Majesty the Emperor will not let you off easily."
After mentioning Zhou Zhi.
They all stopped talking at the same time, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes as they looked at each other.
"Why would you mention him so carefully?"
Kailan frowned in annoyance, cursed in a low voice, and then cheered up again, "What does the emperor have to do with our consensual affairs? I don't believe he can eat me. I won't talk to you anymore."
"I'm going to go talk to that pretty girl. You guys wait for my good news."
talking.
He came in front of Lu Chihuan like a peacock with its feathers spread out, and talked to him in a graceful manner.
After Kailan learned from Lu Chihuan that the other party was only a distant relative of Marquis Nils, his actions became even more unscrupulous.
Everyone on the main planet knows it.
Marquis Nils loves his beloved son Gray the most, and other people do not even have a place in his heart.
In that case.
Even if I did something to the person in front of me, Marquis Nils probably wouldn't bother with me.
Think of this.
Kailan deliberately put his hand on Lu Chihuan's shoulder and rubbed it for a few times, staring at his face wantonly, "...I actually like you very much, why don't we find a quiet place to talk."
“There are just too many people here.”
Lu Chihuan's thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled a few times, and his beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened slightly. He looked quite panicked, as if he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
But in fact.
The fingers hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, as if he was considering the right time to hit Kailan's face, which was full of ill intentions.
to be frank.
He had long seen that Kailan had ulterior motives.
However, Lu Chihuan still has to maintain his timid personality. Moreover, he is now in the palace, and it would easily attract attention if he took the initiative to hit someone.
It’s a bit...not conducive to my next plan.
"how."
Seeing that Lu Chihuan was still reluctant to agree, Kailan's smile faded a little, and her voice was filled with threats and inducements, "Are you unwilling? Do you know my identity? It's your luck that I like you. There are so many people on this main planet who actively stick to me, just like the number of carp crossing the river, too numerous to count."
"And if you offend me, I will have to complain to Marquis Niels and ask him to discipline you..."
This sentence has not yet been finished.
Someone nearby sneered, "Kailan, are you some low-level animal who can't take care of your lower body? You've just entered the palace, and you're already flirting with innocent girls. Don't you see that they don't want to?"
talking.
He stepped forward.
He pulled Kailan's unruly hand off with one hand, and then protected Lu Chihuan behind him, and unconsciously lowered his voice a few points, "Didn't my two brothers beat you enough last time? If you don't want to be beaten again, get away from me."
Kailan hears this.
He felt that the wounds on his body that had obviously healed began to hurt again. He subconsciously frowned and said, "Perrin, why are you meddling in other people's business? You just rely on the fact that you have several good brothers."
Perrin shrugged his shoulders. "I guess you're jealous."
"I have a brother and you don't."
"I'm telling you in advance that my third brother is patrolling the palace right now. If I call him, he'll come right over and beat you into a bruised pig head."
As soon as these words came out.
Kailan's face turned blue and then pale, and finally he left with gritted teeth.
He should not have tried to flirt with Palin because he thought Palin was good-looking. In the end, not only did he not even hold hands with her, but he was also beaten up by Palin's protective brothers and had to stay in the hospital for half a month.
Since.
Whenever he saw Perrin, he would basically turn around and walk away, fearing that he would be associated with his family.
I don't know what's wrong with Perrin today. He actually took the initiative to interfere in his affairs. Could it be that he also fell in love with that beautiful beta? When Kailan thought of this, his expression became quite gloomy.
It seems that he is not willing to do so.
just wait.
Sooner or later he would have to play with that beta while Perrin was away.
"Are you okay?"
Perrin looked at Lu Chihuan behind him.
He has always liked cute and furry things. Now he saw Lu Chihuan looking up at him with a pair of innocent and ignorant almond-shaped eyes, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened.
At first glance, it looks like a pure and innocent lamb.
All of a sudden.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed the soft black hair on his head, "If Kailan bullies you again in the future."
"Just come find me."
Perrin patted his chest and promised solemnly, "I promise to help you."
Lu Chihuan curled his lips.
I thanked him in a soft voice. His voice was originally very clear, and when he softened it deliberately, it sounded sweet.
Suddenly.
Perrin subconsciously raised his hand to cover the tip of his nose.
Instead, I became more excited.
After that, Perrin took the initiative to take Lu Chihuan for a walk. As they walked and talked, Lu Chihuan learned that he was the youngest child in the family and had several older brothers who had spoiled him since he was a child.
It can be said that he is particularly protective of his shortcomings.
"My brothers are very handsome. Currently, they are either serving as adjutants in the military or working in the imperial palace guards. They have never been in a relationship."
"Guaranteed full marks for male virtue."
Perrin couldn't help winking at Lu Chihuan as he spoke, "If you're interested, I can introduce them to you. After all, good things should be kept within the family."
Lu Chihuan choked and coughed.
He opened his dark eyes in confusion, and then stammered, "No, no need."
Palin had only said it casually.
She didn't show any difficulty in accepting the rejection, and now she was joking with Lu Chihuan, "You refused because... you fell in love with His Majesty the Emperor?"
Lu Chihuan paused.
However, he quietly retorted, "It's not because I'm attracted to His Majesty the Emperor."
but--
This time he was indeed coming for Zhou Zhi...'s secret vault.
Perrin accurately caught Lu Chihuan's pause and hesitation, and now his face showed surprise. "Why do you like the emperor? He is older than you, and he has mental problems."
"Sleeping next to him..."
"He might snap it off in his sleep at any time."
talking.
He made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.
"It's scary to think about."
Lu Chihuan couldn't help but scratch his cheeks a few times when hearing what Perrin said, and then he couldn't help but defend Zhou Zhi, "He's not that bad."
Although he has never slept in the same bed with Zhou Zhi from the world branch.
But in the main world.
We did sleep together once or twice.
Zhou Zhi looked quite normal at that time, and even took the initiative to cover him with a blanket.
Perrin shook his head.
He reached out his hand and ruffled Lu Chihuan's fluffy hair again, "I don't know why you have such a deep filter for His Majesty the Emperor. Why don't I tell you a secret that most people on the main planet know."
"His Majesty the Emperor has never had a partner in all these years, so everyone is wondering if he has some problems in that area, or if he is sexually cold."
After finishing speaking.
He gave Lu Chihuan a look that said "you know what I mean". After hearing that, Lu Chihuan started to cough uncontrollably.
He was about to retort.
But when he recalled the memories of his past interactions with Zhou Zhi, he realized that Zhou Zhi's life was indeed too clean.
It seems like there is no desire in that regard.
All of a sudden.
He couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"look."
Perrin realized that they had unknowingly reached the entrance of the royal garden, so he simply pointed it out to Lu Chihuan and said, "This is the royal back garden specially built by the previous emperor. It covers an area of several thousand hectares and has fountains and sculptures."
"And rare flower species collected from different planets."
"The most unique feature is the Mirror Lake. It is said that the Mirror Lake will be foggy at night. It is said that when you pass through it, you will see the person you want to see the most."
After saying this.
He blinked at Lu Chihuan sheepishly and said, "I really want to see if this legend is true, but I don't dare to come alone at night."
"Huanhuan."
"Can you come with me?"
