Chapter 55: The Empire’s First Beta Crown Princess 24 “I want to kiss you…

055 The Empire's First Beta Crown Princess 24

The petals fluttered and the fragrance filled the air.

Lu Jiu quickly hooked her arms around Chen Yu's neck. At the same time, the man stretched out a strong arm and wrapped it around his waist to prevent him from falling into the flowers.

The side vision was blocked, and Lu Jiu could no longer see the little omega named Ye. He only heard the sound of distant footsteps, hurried and messy, revealing a hint of sadness and trance.

Between their lips and teeth, Lu Jiu asked, "...Did you do it on purpose?"

The tip of the Crown Prince's tongue slid across his upper palate, and he said nonchalantly, "Does it matter if I want to kiss you on purpose?"

Lu Jiu: “…………”

Forget it, who cares!

He closed his eyes and fell into the sweet kiss.

…

It was an hour later when I returned to the bedroom.

The servants said that all ten weapon designers had left, but no one knew what mood the omega was in when he left.

After a busy day, they rested early in the evening.

The next day, I met with the wedding planner to discuss the process of the wedding day...

Getting married is indeed troublesome.

If Lu Jiu had not been married in the previous world and had not had a mental expectation of the degree of trouble such a matter would cause, it is hard to say whether he would be frightened to the point of regretting his marriage to the Crown Prince on the spot.

In the evening, they set out on their return journey.

The car shuttled through the universe, entered the atmosphere of the second-magnitude star, merged into the airway, and drove straight towards the slums.

That’s right, they didn’t plan to go back to Canxing directly, but to go to another place first.

The orphanage where Lu Jiu grew up.

*

The scenery below the flying car gradually changed from prosperous to deserted and dilapidated.

When the gray orphanage in the distance came into view, Lu Jiu said, "Actually, I don't think the director will come to the wedding."

Yesterday, Chen Yu asked him if there was anyone he wanted to invite to the wedding, and the first person Lu Jiu thought of was the director of the orphanage.

However, when we really got here, the excitement cooled down again.

He felt Shen Yu's gaze on his face.

He sighed, "The dean doesn't really like those kinds of particularly lively occasions."

It is true that there are many children in the orphanage and it is lively, but this kind of liveliness is different from the kind of liveliness that is crowded, luxurious and noisy.

The dean has lived in the slums all his life and doesn't feel comfortable going downtown.

Shen Yu said, “Then tell her that you are getting married, and let her know that the child she raised has found a partner.”

"Yeah!" Lu Jiu nodded heavily and became energetic again.

The car landed outside the iron gate of the orphanage.

The children who were playing in the yard curiously put down their toys and ran over to watch.

A security guard came out hurriedly from the message room. He was the eldest brother who came to the hospital when Lu Jiu was five years old. The young man who was less than 30 years old at that time has now grown into a middle-aged man.

Lu Jiu lowered the car window. The security guard was surprised to see him and quickly opened the door.

The car drove into the courtyard, and Lu Jiu turned around and said to Shen Yu: "Why don't you wait here?"

"Why?" Shen Yu asked calmly.

Lu Jiu subconsciously said, "If you go in too, it will be too much of a scene, right?"

Shen Yu tilted his head: "Does your dean have high blood pressure?"

"?" Lu Jiu, "Not really."

The dean is in very good health.

"What will happen if the situation gets bigger?"

"?"

"There are no reporters here," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced lightly outside the car, "Even if there were, it would just be a routine news item like 'The Crown Prince went home with his partner before his wedding', what would happen?"

Lu Jiupin came out, and this guy thought he didn't want to take him to meet his parents.

Heaven and earth can testify that he was obviously afraid that this guy didn't like being watched by children!

He changed his tone: "Okay, then you come in with me, as long as you are not afraid of being watched by the kids."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pushed the door open and got out of the car leisurely.

As Lu Jiu expected, the children surrounding the car looked up and looked at the older brother curiously. Suddenly, one of the children opened his mouth and the candy in his mouth fell out.

"Well, he looks like the prince!"

“It really seems like it!”

“So handsome!”

"It's not as if, it's as if he is really the prince!!"

The children began to talk nonsense.

Amid the excited shouts, the security guard also saw Chen Yu's face clearly. He was frightened and secretly pulled Lu Jiu's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Jiujiu, who, who is this person..."

"It's Prince Chen Yu." Lu Jiu waved at Chen Yu.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked over leisurely, surrounded by children.

The security guard was completely stunned by the sight of someone coming as soon as he was called.

"Brother Zhang, is the dean still in the original office?" Lu Jiu asked.

“Yes, yes!”

"Then let's go meet her."

…

The dean is over sixty years old.

She always has a plain face with traces of time. Even so, it is still difficult for others to tell her real age.

When she smiles, people feel that she is only in her forties. Her energy and spirit infect everyone in the orphanage, making this deserted place full of vitality.

When he saw Lu Jiu, the dean took off his glasses, stood up excitedly and walked forward.

When he saw the prince, the dean opened his eyes wide, shocked and confused.

When Lu Jiu told her the purpose of her visit, the dean covered her mouth and her eyes turned red in disbelief.

She quickly asked Lu Jiu and Shen Yu to sit down and personally made tea for them. While busying herself, she asked: How did you meet? Are you really going to get married? When? Jiujiu, how are you doing in Canxing?

…

They sat in the dean's office until nine o'clock in the evening.

Most of the time, it was Lu Jiu and the dean chatting, and Chen Yu just drank tea quietly, but when the dean asked him questions in a reserved and curious manner, he would always put down his teacup and answer politely and appropriately.

Just as Lu Jiu guessed, the dean finally said, "I won't go to your wedding."

The dean said shyly, "When you get married, there will definitely be a lot of people and reporters. I won't feel comfortable going to that kind of place. But I will give you the wedding gifts before your wedding."

"No need!" Lu Jiu said quickly.

"Of course!" the dean said. "I just won't go to your wedding, not that I won't participate in the process. Jiujiu, you are my child, and as a mother, I must bless you on such a big event as marriage."

Lu Jiu was stunned.

Almost instantly, a sour feeling rushed to the tip of my nose.

The dean sighed, "It's also because I don't make enough money, otherwise I would definitely give each of you a big red envelope... Well, but the sense of ceremony can still be there, wait, let me see if I have any new red envelopes..."

The dean started rummaging through the drawers.

He seemed to be saying whatever he wanted, and he was really happy.

Lu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dean, it's really not necessary! ... And the red envelopes you have here are only New Year's red envelopes, right?"

"Hey, I remember last year when the supermarket was having a sale, I bought a stack of red envelopes with the word '囍' written on them. Where did I put them? Jiujiu, come and help me find them."

"It must have been stuffed into the bottom drawer again..."

Lu Jiu stood up, walked behind the desk, squatted down and looked for it with the dean.

Shen Yu drank his tea elegantly, watching the two men appear above his head behind the desk.

The two heads were together and moving.

After a while, the head on the right moved, and the light revealed her strands of white hair, making the two heads look like mother and child.

After a while, the head moved again, and the white hair disappeared in the light. The two heads with black hair looked more like friends.

In the end, Lu Jiu and Shen Yu each received a red envelope containing 131.4 yuan - both in zeros and in whole numbers.

The dean originally wanted to pack two 1314s, but when Lu Jiu said, "Dean, you won't eat meat this month?!", he angrily raised the number to a decimal point.

"...I will make a lot of money next year!" the dean swore with his fist.

"Okay, if you can eat meat all year round next year, I will come to collect the remaining part from 1314." Lu Jiu has always been encouraging and supportive to their dean.

It was already half past nine when I stepped out of the office building.

Lu Jiu didn't ask the dean to take her too far.

The dean stopped in front of the building and waved at them.

The children and the security guard also stopped there. The oldest children all knew Lu Jiu. They waved their hands vigorously and shouted, "Brother Jiu, please come to see us again in the future."

Lu Jiu smiled and waved at them to show that he understood.

"After registering your marriage, there will be a royal account under your name."

Shen Yu's voice sounded behind him.

"Every year, a personal fund will be deposited into the account, and you can use the money for whatever you want, such as charity."

Lu Jiu was startled and looked back at Chen Yu.

Is there such a good thing?

He is not interested in money itself, but if he can be given some money to plan, he can use the money to help many people.

but--

Lu Jiu said, "Maybe I'm too naive. Can't we just eliminate this level of poverty from a social perspective? I know it's impossible to achieve complete wealth equality for everyone in society, but the slums nowadays are really too exaggerated."

This level of poverty certainly has various historical and social reasons. Lu Jiu has not learned about this, so it is difficult for him to make a comprehensive analysis.

But when he advised the dean not to give such a big red envelope, he was really confused as to why, in the interstellar age, such a level of poverty would still fall on such a good person.

——Of course he knew that a person’s wealth had nothing to do with his character, and sometimes it was even negatively correlated.

It's just that at certain moments, people really can't help but ask such questions.

Chen Yu's answer was so simple and straightforward that it exceeded Lu Jiu's expectations.

"Of course it's possible."

Lu Jiu immediately stared into his eyes and urged him to talk more.

Shen Yu opened the car door for him.

"There are complex historical reasons for the formation of this social structure now."

Lu Jiu quickly sat down.

After Shen Yu came in and closed the door, the driver started the car, and the car took off silently.

"Whether it was my father or my grandfather, in the past or now, they are all working hard to resolve these historical issues, but the wounds are too deep and it will take longer to heal."

Shen Yu's voice seemed calm and soothing in the night.

"Moreover, not every emperor will inherit the will of the previous one when he takes over power. When solving some problems, the course of history will become tortuous and complicated."

Lu Jiu's heart moved slightly.

If a wound is cut again and again during the long healing process, the wound will become deeper, larger, and more difficult to heal.

This is not difficult to understand.

"Do you have the confidence that you can change this situation in your lifetime?" Lu Jiu asked.

A smile appeared on Chen Yu's lips.

He threw the question back.

"what you think?"

Lu Jiu looked into the man's smiling eyes.

He thought about it seriously, then nodded seriously: "I think you can."

He would not take it for granted that he did - but whether in his previous life or this life, this man was indeed almost omnipotent.

Lu Jiu never said it, but in his heart he actually admired this man very much.

At this moment, a "bang" sound suddenly came from outside the window.

Before the car window was raised, Lu Jiu heard the children in the orphanage below shouting, "It's fireworks!"

Lu Jiu's gaze subconsciously passed Chen Yu and turned to the night sky outside the car window.

The fireworks bloomed in the night, brilliant and gorgeous.

The baffle between the rear seat and the driver's seat rises automatically.

Lu Jiu was stunned looking at the fireworks. When he heard the movement of the baffle, he turned back blankly, not understanding why this happened suddenly.

"I said I would give you a formal proposal."

A small black velvet box appeared in the man's hand.

The lid of the box was open and there was a silver ring inside.

Lu Jiu was shocked.

He glanced at the fireworks that were still popping and bursting—was this arranged by Shen Yu?

"I don't think you would like being watched by others, and neither do I, so we'd better arrange this proposal when it's just the two of us." Shen Yu took out the silver ring, his voice low and gentle.

Lu Jiu's heart began to pound, the sound even louder than when the fireworks exploded.

"Do you like this?" The man raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

The fireworks brightened the cold night in the slums.

Pedestrians on the road stopped to look, and every household stuck their heads out.

The children pointed at the night sky, and their shouts of surprise warmed the cold night in late autumn.

Lu Jiu's Adam's apple rolled.

"...You are so romantic..."

"I thought you'd think I was unsophisticated." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no less self-deprecating.

"It's very rustic... but sometimes it's also classic... it's classic because people like it!" Lu Jiu's tone gradually changed from shock to cheerfulness, "You are so romantic today, Your Highness!"

Shen Yu chuckled softly, his shoulders trembling slightly.

He looked at Lu Jiu leisurely and asked, "Then, are you willing to be my partner?"

"Yes!" Lu Jiu stretched out his hand generously.

That night, under the bright light of fireworks, Shen Yu put a silver ring on him.

They kissed and hugged each other, interlocking their fingers.

*

The month since then has gone by very quickly.

From Monday to Friday, Lu Jiu was in school. Chen Yu would sometimes come to his dormitory to rest, and sometimes he would disappear for several days in a row.

——After getting the secrets of the insect beast tribe from the traitor, Shen Yu obviously started some plans. He had a lot of things to do.

On the weekend, Chen Yu would come to pick him up and go back to Central Star together. They would need to personally confirm all the trivial matters related to the wedding.

Lu Jiu's stomach began to swell.

Shen Yu stuffed two personal guards into his hands.

Lu Jiu didn't like being followed by anyone, so Chen Yu asked them to follow her from a distance, but they had to ensure Lu Jiu's safety.

Four major events occurred before the wedding.

The first thing is a big event for students - autumn break is here!

Lu Jiu didn't have to apply for leave from school specifically for the wedding, he could just leave directly.

The second thing is that he and Shen Yu officially got their marriage certificate!

On the day of getting the marriage certificate, they used the secret passage of the relevant department in order to prevent the news from leaking in advance and disrupting their wedding plans.

The third thing was that the imperial army found a part of the insect beast clan’s mysterious space passage, and after blasting it, they launched a surprise attack, causing another heavy blow to the insect beast clan!

After the war, the military studied the battlefield and concluded that the space channel they blew up this time probably occupied nearly half of the space network of the insect beast clan.

The space channel has been the medium through which the insect beasts have been able to raid humans from time to time for many years. If the military blows up half of it, it means reducing most of the insect beasts' strength. How easy will it be to rebuild the space channel?

Humans won't give them a chance to breathe.

What the empire needs to do next is to press on with the victory and completely eliminate the possibility of insect beasts invading humans.

And the last big event, of course, was the royal family’s official announcement of the Crown Prince’s wedding.

He will marry his beta lover in a week.

The news shocked the entire empire.

——When did the Crown Prince start dating? Why didn’t any paparazzi report it?!

And as a top alpha, Shen Yu actually chose a beta as his partner? !

Moreover, he is a male beta? ! !

Wedding day, palace.

The day had been busy since morning.

Lu Jiu woke up early in the morning and was pushed to change clothes and do his styling while still yawning.

The process is: meet with the media and hold a press conference in the morning, entertain guests in the palace in the afternoon, and hold a banquet in the evening.

I have several sets of clothes, one for the morning, one for the afternoon, and one for the evening...

After Lu Jiu finished his styling, he woke up from his sleepiness.

He saw Shen Yu walking towards him in a neatly dressed manner. The man was wearing a white suit, and he looked handsome and elegant.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but praise him: "So handsome."

Shen Yu paused, raised his lips, walked over, lifted his chin, bent over and kissed him in front of everyone: "You are also very beautiful today."

They appeared before the media holding hands.

Flashlights flickered at them.

Lu Jiu originally thought that he would be a little nervous. After all, he had never seen such a scene in his two lifetimes.

But maybe it was because Shen Yu was too calm next to him, he didn't seem to be that nervous in the end. Instead, what he was thinking was: the royal family didn't mention his name on the day they officially announced Shen Yu's wedding, and now that he appeared on TV, those people in the school would probably spit out their breakfast.

As he thought about it, Lu Jiu became happy.

Shen Yu turned his head to look at him with a funny look of "what are you thinking about again".

This scene was captured by countless cameras and became a classic photo that dominated major social media platforms for three whole months.

After the press conference, they returned to the palace in great fanfare.

The guests have arrived.

Most of the guests were from the royal family, and in the end only three people came from Lu Jiu's side: the principal, the director of the academic affairs office, and the class teacher.

Lu Jiu himself didn't care. Later he thought that most of the people he knew were ordinary people, and not all ordinary people yearned for the luxurious upper class. Sometimes they preferred to stay comfortably in their own little home.

So, he didn't bother to invite anyone later.

But this makes the principal and the other two seem a little pitiful and miserable.

"Actually, Principal, you don't have to come if you don't want to." Lu Jiu chatted with them while holding a glass of juice.

"No, we are coming!" The principal gritted his teeth and straightened his body with a firm look in his eyes, "For such a big event, you must have your family behind you!"

Lu Jiu almost died of laughter.

Is Chen Yu some kind of big devil? Why are the principal and others so afraid that he will be bullied?

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Chen Yu came over to take him away and take him to recognize the person.

They walked among the crowd, and countless eyes seemed to fall on them.

Shen Yu said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You don't need to remember most of the people, just the following ones, try to remember their faces."

Basically, they are people who are related to Shen Yu by blood.

His uncle, aunt, and mother-in-law...

Some had kind looks, others had inquiring ones.

The relationships between people in the royal family are indeed complicated.

Lu Jiu met Bai Yunfei and Bai Yunzhe's mother, who was also Chen Yu's cousin.

This sister's features are somewhat similar to Shen Yu's. She has a heroic beauty and is very kind to Lu Jiu.

Knowing from Bai Yunzhe that Lu Jiu was interested in weapons, this great sister gave Lu Jiu a great gift - a space box containing weapon materials worth millions.

When Lu Jiu took the gift, he held it with both hands, his fingertips trembling slightly.

His Royal Highness frowned, a little puzzled: "Why didn't you react so strongly when I gave you that space box?"

Lu Jiu’s answer was ruthless: “Because you are pursuing me.”

Can a pursuer be the same as a great sister?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Okay."

After the sister and Bai Yunzhe and Bai Yunfei walked away, Lu Jiu noticed the sister's husband.

This man was a little distant from the mother and her two children, but he was not cold. On the contrary, this man was very gentle. It was just that they didn't feel like a family when they were together.

Lu Jiu asked the doubts in his heart.

Chen Yu said, "Because he is not Bai Yunfei and Bai Yunzhe's biological father. My cousin is divorced."

Lu Jiu was surprised.

He suddenly remembered that Chen Yu once said that his cousin was the kind of person who "will forget about something after a few days as long as she is sure that she cannot touch it."

Shen Yu glanced at him, seemingly laughing at his gossip.

"Yes, there is a story between her and her ex-husband. If you are interested, you can ask her later. She won't mind."

Lu Jiu also met Shen Qing, Shen Yu's cousin, and the owner of the manor where he and Shen Yu first met.

Shen Qing's painting style is different from everyone else in the royal family.

He smiled and asked Lu Jiu as soon as he saw her, "Should I call you sister-in-law or brother?"

Lu Jiu's mouth twitched: "Brother."

"Then brother, hehe," Shen Qing lowered his voice, "I heard that Ye Xin has come to see you?"

Lu Jiu's heart moved slightly.

Ye Xin is the weapon designer Omega from before.

He thought Shen Qing was going to say something, but he just burst out laughing!

"My cousin has had a lot of people secretly in love with him since he was a child, but he is so pure and unselfish that my aunt almost had to find a doctor to treat his andrology. Hehehe, so Brother Jiu, don't worry."

Lu Jiu felt a little unwell.

"Wait, you better stop calling me brother."

"Then what should I call you?" Shen Qing looked confused.

"…………Sister-in-law, please."

Shen Yu was listening to their conversation from the side. When Shen Qing was so bold as to talk about the past, he glanced at him lightly. When he heard Lu Jiu's words, he looked at him with interest again.

The next second, Shen Qing immediately shouted: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

…………Lujiu is a little difficult to prepare!

"I heard that you are pregnant, sister-in-law," Shen Qing said with a playful smile as she stuffed a bottle of something into his hand. "I'm giving you a wedding gift. This bottle of perfume can be used by pregnant women and husbands too!"

After he finished speaking, he floated away.

Lu Jiu opened his mouth, holding a bottle of perfume that he had obtained inexplicably, and turned his head to ask Chen Yu: "Is he usually like this?"

"yes."

Chen Yu was looking down at the bottle in Lu Jiu's hand.

"By the way, wasn't it in his manor that you were first induced to be susceptible?" Lu Jiu paused and asked in a low voice, "Is he... okay?"

After all, it didn't seem like that special omega was there by chance.

"He's fine," Chen Yu said, "The omega was inserted by someone else when he didn't know."

Lu Jiu was startled and asked tentatively: "...Is it the minister who was killed in the explosion?"

"Yes," Shen Yu changed the subject, "but don't use the things he gave you carelessly."

Lu Jiu: “? Why?”

“He doesn’t send normal things.”

“…Will it be poisonous?”

Shen Yu said with a joking look on his face, “Who here has the guts to do this?”

"So what do you mean he won't send normal things?"

"Literally," His Royal Highness chuckled, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Lu Jiu: “…………”

He fell into deep thought.

Curiosity kills the cat, but no matter how many times you do it, the cat will still be curious.

He uncapped it and sprayed it into the air.

If something really happens, with so many people here, let’s see where Shen Qing can escape!

Chen Yu looked into his eyes.

Probably having guessed that he would not believe it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked as if he was watching the show as if it had nothing to do with him.

The man even crossed one hand over his chest, raised the glass with the other hand, took a sip of wine, and there was a hint of amusement in his narrow eyes.

Lu Jiu sniffed and smelled a faint scent of strawberry in the air, so sweet.

Other than that, there's nothing special, right?

Lu Jiu then glanced at Chen Yu and said, "You are judging others by your own standards, aren't you?"

What they gave me was clearly just normal perfume.

Chen Yu still looked like he was waiting to see the show: "Wait three more seconds."

Are you so sure that Shen Qing won't give you a normal gift?

Lu Jiu sniffed again suspiciously.

What would happen if I waited another three seconds? Would he mutate or something?

"Do you know what perfume this is?"

"He has so many strange things in his hands, how could I possibly know them all," Shen Yu raised his lips, "but he never breaks my perception of him."

"You seem to be having a lot of fun watching the show..."

"You were the one who wanted to spray, Jiujiu," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said gently, "I warned you."

"Anyone who hears what you said just now will be more curious..." Lu Jiu muttered.

The teasing look in His Royal Highness's eyes became even stronger.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind.

“What’s that smell…”

“Smells so good…”

Shen Yu suddenly stopped smiling.

He pulled Lu Jiu over and held him in his arms. While Lu Jiu was still confused, he raised his hand and pressed it against the back of his neck with a frown.

Lu Jiu shuddered.

When Chen Yu's palm came over, it felt like an electric current drilled into his spine.

His legs went weak, and if Chen Yu's arm hadn't been around his waist, he would have almost sat down on the ground.

"What's going on?" Lu Jiu was confused. "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

It feels like there's an itchy bug crawling on the back of my neck.

Also, why did those alphas come closer?

It was the first time Lu Jiu saw Chen Yu's face darken...

Chen Yu said coldly: “Liuli, near Yang.”

Two guards came forward from a distance and said, "Your Highness!"

"Catch Shen Qing and tell him not to leave tonight."

In the crowd, Shen Qing seemed to have been peeking. At this moment, he burst into laughter and started walking away like a loach.

Liuli and Jinyang were stunned, and immediately chased after him and shouted, "Your Highness Shen Qing, don't run!"

Amid the inquiring looks of the guests, Shen Yu did something that surprised them greatly.

——He picked up Lu Jiu horizontally.

Lu Jiu's hands and legs were weak at this moment, and the itchiness seemed to have penetrated into his bones.

He found that his symptoms were somewhat similar to those of the protagonist in the TV series who was poisoned by aphrodisiac, and he finally knew what the bottle of something Shen Qing sent him was.

Omeg functional perfume.

It can induce erotic symptoms in betas similar to those in omegas, which are not particularly exaggerated. But if they have alpha partners, then one spray of this perfume is enough to drive these alphas crazy.

"Ha...haha!" Lu Jiu felt weak all over, but laughed heartily, gloating over the misfortune, "It turns out that this bottle of perfume wasn't attacking me, but you!"

Let this guy watch the show, hahaha! Hahahaha!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was walking towards the bedroom with big strides. Hearing this, he paused and his eyelashes drooped.

"Are you sure you want to laugh now?"

“…………”
