The Empire's First Fleet is defeated, and the calm, beautiful, undefeated First Commander Shen Que is severely injured, becoming a frail invalid.
Even more shocking news arrives:
Th...
The second day.
There are still seven hours until dinner.
Pei Ji and Chen Que woke up to the sound of Old Hall knocking on the door.
"It's already one in the afternoon! Admiral, Madam, there's a limit to how much you can stay in bed. Guests are arriving one after another. If you don't show up soon, the Lord will be furious!"
Pei Ji sat up with his head covered. The bulge in the quilt beside him moved, revealing a messy pointed head.
Shen Que opened his eyes drowsily.
His poor spirits made him wake up very slowly, his brain still intoxicated by the dry and warm pheromones, so lazy that he didn't even want to move his fingertips.
"...What time is it?"
Pei Ji hugged the quilt and kissed his messy hair. "It's still early. Take your time to wake up. I'll go get breakfast... lunch."
He quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes in three minutes, smoothed his hair, and went out.
Shen Que slowly sat up.
The Alpha's pheromones made him relax.
In fact, Pei Ji can be considered a very polite Alpha. He always sprays suppression spray when entering and leaving public places.
Except at night and after training that day, Shen Que had hardly ever smelled his pheromones.
His own pheromones were out of control, so naturally he had never experienced the intimacy that others talked about, where AOs could express their emotions and soothe each other solely through pheromones.
But this is also good.
Not too close.
It also allows him to get a good night's sleep.
After sitting on the bed for an unknown amount of time, Pei Ji opened the door and came in again, followed by Demi pushing a dining cart.
"Ten minutes, wash your face, get dressed and eat!" the maid ordered with her hands on her hips.
"It's too urgent. I can't finish the food!" Pei Ji pulled the dining cart over and left Demi outside the door. "Come back in an hour."
…
There are still six hours until dinner.
Demi, who almost broke into the house, finally waited until Pei Ji took Shen Que out.
“Ahhhh, too slow!” Demi collapsed.
Anya comforted him: "It can't be helped... Madam eats slowly..."
Shen Que frowned slightly: "It's not me."
He glanced at the Alpha beside him with dissatisfaction.
"I spent half an hour picking out clothes."
Anya covered her mouth and looked her two masters up and down.
In fact, there is no essential difference between today's clothes and yesterday's clothes. They are still traditional Baishaxing formal wear.
It was just a small one-shoulder cape, and there were fewer gold ornaments than yesterday.
The pendant between his eyebrows is still pigeon blood red.
Pei Ji pressed Chen Que's shoulders and placed him upright in front of the two maids.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
Anya nodded repeatedly: "It looks good!"
Demi: "Help, you two look good in anything, so please stop wasting your time on meaningless things!"
Phil poked his head out from the end of the corridor and said, "Admiral! If you don't go out to receive guests, the lord will send a fleet to bombard your palace."
"If he dares to attack, I'll have the Fourth Fleet bombard his Bright Moon Palace!"
Pei Ji retorted without blushing, then extended his elbow.
Shen Que was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took his Alpha's arm.
The formal dinner was held in the largest banquet hall in Jiaoyue Palace.
It is also the highest point of the First Oasis, the top of a huge rock.
But before that, all receptions were held in Green Mo Park.
When passing a corridor, Pei Ji suddenly saw a sneaky figure peeking not far away.
After recognizing the man, he patted Shen Que's hand: "Wait a few minutes."
Shen Que looked at him doubtfully, but didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and waited there.
The afternoon sun shines on the clean and bright corridor, outlining a calm and slender outline.
Occasionally some people in fancy clothes pass by.
Several of the noble ladies recognized Shen Que and whispered to each other.
"Wow... he's the First Commander, right? I've seen him on Starnet before."
"You know what, she's really pretty... No wonder the Queen likes her."
"The Queen is also an Alpha! Alphas all like beautiful Omegas."
"Why is he here alone? Where is Pei Ji?"
"Pfft, he's not running away again, is he?"
…
The nobles' comments were not as blunt as those of netizens, but they were still harsh.
Shen Que frowned slightly.
At this moment, a tall figure passed him and walked up to the ladies, and naturally started chatting with them.
Shen Que keenly noticed that the man stood calmly between him and the ladies, blocking their line of sight.
He heard some vague words, which seemed to be "the lord's wife", "the melancholy garden", "the tea party" and so on.
A few young ladies giggled and said something, "Doctor Li, please don't lie to us!" Then they left happily hand in hand.
After they left, the tall figure walked up to Shen Que and took the initiative to speak: “Commander Shen, how are you feeling recently?”
Shen Que was stunned for a moment, then nodded politely, “Do you know me?”
The man looked at him implicitly and stretched out his hand.
"I'm the lord's personal physician, Charles Lee. Nice to meet you."
Shen Que shook hands with him, but after just a moment of contact, the man took the initiative to separate.
The man in front of him had a gentle face and handsome features. He was older than him and looked like a very traditional Alpha. His speech and behavior were elegant and proper, and it was obvious that he came from a noble family.
I asked myself if I was healthy right away...
Shen Que asked, “Doctor Li, have we met before?”
Charles paused for a moment: "I have seen it, but I haven't seen it either."
He said calmly, "I've read your medical records."
