Chapter 149 Rose Star

Jiang He fell seriously ill. According to her fiancé, her illness was so severe that she had to be put into hibernation and cryogenic freezing. It was not until more than half a year later that she woke up from the hibernation capsule thanks to the availability of a special medicine.

Due to the side effects of the medicine, she had forgotten everything about her past.

The good news is that she has a fiancé. Even though she has been in hibernation for so many years, he still doesn't give up on saving her. He obeys her in everything and treats her like a little baby in his palm.

There is also bad news. She has no relatives. Her father died early and her mother died during her hibernation. Now she is an orphan.

Jiang He wasn't without curiosity about her past. She had a room at home filled with photos of her from childhood, along with stories from her childhood. During her time awake, she'd revisited her past. Lately, she'd been in school, and studying had been making her increasingly irritable. She found herself bored by the mere sight of books.

It’s like I’ve been studying non-stop in every life, but now I reflexively become tired of studying.

Ji Xuyao ​​commented, "You're quite good at making excuses for yourself."

The two of them got to know each other after a fight. Ji Xuyao ​​poured two cups of fat otaku happy water and handed one to Jiang He. The two of them stood under the huge portrait of Emperor Shengwu and introduced themselves briefly to each other.

Ji Xuyao's background is simpler than Jiang He's. His grandfather is the son of Emperor Shengwu, and this portrait was also painted by his father.

Jiang He was shocked when he heard this. "The Holy Martial Emperor had a son? Didn't she die young and never had a family after a lifetime of fighting? Damn, history books are really all lies."

"My grandfather was adopted. When the Great Emperor Shengwu had no children, my grandfather was chosen from the family and adopted by the Great Emperor Shengwu. At the funeral of the Great Emperor Shengwu, it was my grandfather who broke the basin and carried the spirit banner for her."

Jiang He looked at him and said, "Then you are considered a prince or grandson of the emperor."

Ji Xuyao ​​laughed, "On Rose Star, anyone you pick out is a prince or a grandson of the emperor."

After Queen Renhe gave up power, she became addicted to male beauty and moved to the Rose Star built by the revolving door for the royal family. Her greatest achievement in her life was giving birth to children. She had sixteen daughters and eleven sons. Later, her descendants lived a carefree and luxurious life, and had a lot of children in their lives.

Federal politicians had no special requirements for the royal family. As long as they had children, each child would receive a huge bonus. The purer the bloodline, the higher the bonus. Every once in a while, they would select exceptionally gifted individuals and send them to Rose Star to breed with the royal family.

Some royal descendants even engaged in incest for these bonuses.

Jiang He was amazed and looked at Ji Xuyao ​​curiously again, "So, how many children do you have?"

"I'm the only child in my family, and I haven't even gotten married yet. What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Xuyao ​​turned his head and snorted, then said proudly, "My grandfather said that we are different from them. We are descendants of the Holy Martial Emperor. The most important thing is to keep our backs straight."

But on Rose Star, there is no such thing as marriage. People here do not need to get married. They receive an education tailored for the royal family and consider having children an honor. They will experiment with different people, hoping to give birth to a child with a bloodline as strong as that of the Holy Martial Emperor.

Jiang He was stunned when he heard this. "But I have a fiancé."

"Then he must be like me, someone who is dissatisfied with the royal family and the Federation." Ji Xuyao ​​said, "I am not the only one who has come to his senses. Sooner or later, we will leave this prison and return to real life."

For ordinary people, the Rose Star is a symbol of royalty and nobility, an unattainable honor, and a place they dream of.

But to Ji Xuyao, Rose Star is a huge and gorgeous cage.

Everyone here is a guinea pig in a cage.

Jiang He looked like she was listening to a fairy tale, with a look of disbelief on her face. "With the birth rate so low now, how can people here keep having children?"

"Medicine." Ji Xuyao ​​sneered, "The Federation distributes medicine to promote fertility, but these medicines have side effects. Children born under these drugs rarely live beyond a hundred years old."

This is also why, although the reign of Emperor Shengwu has only been around for more than 300 years, the royal family has been harvested four or five times.

Jiang He: "Is royal blood so important?"

"Royal bloodlines aren't great, but if a pure royal bloodline like the Holy Martial Emperor could emerge, that would be incredible. At least we'd have a fighting chance against the Zerg." Ji Xuyao ​​scoffed. "They're trying to manipulate public opinion into ignoring the Holy Martial Emperor's achievements while simultaneously trying to replicate another one."

As he spoke, he stared at Jiang He's eyebrows. Her eyebrows and eyes were not only similar to those of the Holy Martial Emperor, but almost identical.

Jiang He was frightened by his stare, "Why are you looking at me? I just look a bit like her, but I'm not her clone."

"A clone is unlikely," Ji Xuyao ​​said. "The Holy Martial Emperor was reduced to ashes in the Red Stone Galaxy to protect the expeditionary force. No flesh and blood remained. It's impossible for anyone to create a clone of her."

Ji Xuyao ​​paused, "I suspect you are the daughter of the Holy Martial Emperor who was left behind. By the way, have you taken the test? What's your bloodline level and mental strength level?"

"You are a supporter of the Holy Martial Emperor, so you think everyone is his descendant." Jiang He rolled his eyes. "I have a father and a mother, and I have nothing to do with your Holy Martial Emperor."

"It's also possible that your mother is related to the Holy Martial Emperor." Ji Xuyao ​​said, "After all, they look so similar, and you're on Rose Star, so it's definitely not an accident. What's your fiancé's name?"

"His name is Yu Shaoze."

Ji Xuyao's face changed instantly.

But before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang He's fiancé Yu Shaoze comes to pick her up.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohe is a bit naive. I'll let the housekeeper come and talk to you about the damage caused to your room." Compared to Jiang He's rudeness, Yu Shaoze was polite and apologized to Ji Xuyao ​​with an apologetic look on his face.

When Ji Xuyao ​​saw Yu Shaoze, his eyes lit up immediately and he said happily, "Professor Yu, you are my idol, can you sign an autograph for me?"

Ji Xuyao's face was bruised and swollen from being beaten by Jiang He, and his original appearance could not be seen.

Jiang He sneered at Ji Xuyao's sudden transformation into a brainless fan.

Her fiancé was tall and a little thin, with pale skin, but he was very handsome, like the noble young men from wealthy families in ancient times. His temperament was as elegant as a delicate orchid and a jade tree. He looked weak but had a strong aura.

Jiang He pulled Yu Shaoze, rolled his eyes at Ji Xuyao ​​and left.

After getting in the car, she asked Yu Shaoze, "Is Uncle Deng complaining to you again?"

"Uncle Deng said he made spicy rabbit meat and asked if I'd like to go home for dinner." Yu Shaoze touched the top of Jiang He's head and asked gently, "Are you injured anywhere?"

"No, that guy is too weak. I can beat a hundred of them with one punch." Jiang He waved his fist, extremely proud. "Shao Ze, I want to go to the National Defense University of the Federation."

"Okay." Yu Shaoze praised, "The Federal National Defense University is a good school. You are so outstanding, the National Defense University may be able to make an exception and admit you."

"Exceptional admission?" Jiang He was a little confused. "Why is it an exceptional admission? I can also take the exam based on my own abilities."

Yu Shaoze explained, "The National Defense University is on the Capital Star. People from us on the Rose Star cannot enter the Capital Star without permission."

He obviously didn't want to continue on this topic. "Xiao He, I asked Uncle Deng to check the calendar. The 8th of next month is a good day. Let's get married on that day."

"Okay." Jiang He turned on the wrist computer on his hand. The wrist computer on Rose Star could only make calls and not access the internet, but it could play some single-player games. Jiang He was playing Snake and said without even looking up, "Okay."

She responded too quickly and too neatly. Yu Shaoze had waited for this moment for too long, but her ready agreement made him feel empty and uneasy.

He picked up a strand of Jiang He's hair and played with it on his fingers. "Xiao He, we are finally getting married. Are you happy?"

"I'm happy." Jiang He's fingers were very steady as she played the game. She always managed to make her snake eat its prey and grow stronger at the last moment. She answered without even looking up, "Isn't it only a matter of time before we get married?"

"Yes, it's only a matter of time." Yu Shaoze looked at her and smiled slightly. The affection in his eyes was brighter than the sunshine outside the window.

Jiang He looked up and glanced at him, "What's the matter?"

She turned off the game and pulled her hair back from his fingers. "How many children do you want after you get married?"

"Not even one." Yu Shaoze said, "Just the two of us, all the time, okay? The child is too noisy, we don't need him."

"Okay." Jiang He found that her fiancé was indeed different from the others on Rose Star. However, she suddenly remembered that his last name was Yu, not Ji, which meant he was not from the royal family.

Neither she nor her fiancé has the surname Ji, so they don't have to rely on having children to generate income.

Dinner was indeed mainly spicy rabbit meat. Jiang He finished her meal happily and was about to go back to her room to surf the internet when Yu Shaoze called her, "Xiao He, I've made an appointment to have my wedding dress measurements taken. Shall we go take a look together?"

"Okay." Jiang He had probably been unconscious for too long. She was curious about everything, and even having her height measured was a novelty for her.

"Shao Ze, are we on Rose Star where the royal family lives?"

"Yes, but Rose Star is what the outside world calls this planet. People here prefer to call it Rose Star."

Jiang He frowned in confusion, "We don't have the surname Ji, so why do we live on Rose Star?"

"The royal family is large, and Rose Star needs a lot of service personnel." Yu Shaoze said, "Many people on Rose Star who are not surnamed Ji serve this planet."

It seems that these outsiders are all slaves of the Ji family.

Jiang He, "Then can we leave Rose Star?"

"No." Yu Shaoze said, "You can only leave with the Federation's written order."

Jiang He sighed and didn't mention it again.

After taking measurements and looking at many wedding gowns, Jiang He was dazzled. Yu Shaoze noticed that she was tired and waved everyone away. Then he asked Jiang He, "Did Ji Xuyao ​​say anything to you today?"

Jiang He collapsed on the sofa and thought for a moment, "He called me a keyboard warrior, and I called him a royal water army."

Yu Shaoze laughed, "His surname is Ji, and he's a member of the royal family, so he's not really a water soldier."

Jiang He: "On this Rose Star, which is full of royal children, what's so cool about him being surnamed Ji?"

After she finished speaking, she looked up and asked Yu Shaoze, "Will it bring you trouble?"

"No." Yu Shaoze took her hand and stood up, and walked upstairs together. "I have some ability in Rose Star, and I am never afraid of trouble."

"Oh, oh, oh." Jiang He was relieved. "That's good. I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed first."

"Okay, good night, Xiaohe." Yu Shaoze walked Jiang He to the door and helped her close the door. The gentle smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

He went downstairs to the study and turned on the video call on his computer. There were already two people on the other end of the line waiting respectfully for him to come online.

"Your Highness, I've checked. Ji Xuyao ​​is the grandson of the Holy Martial Emperor. He's a senior this year and didn't take the joint entrance exam for Rose University. He recently returned home from school for the holidays and hasn't left the house since. He enjoys playing games, and he's spent almost all of his royal subsidies on gaming. He's found a part-time job as a librarian on campus, and all the money he earns has been spent on gaming equipment. His parents are both deceased, and he has no other relatives. He's a loner at school, not interested in socializing, and he's been supporting the Holy Martial Emperor online."

After all, he is a descendant of the Holy Martial Emperor, so it is understandable that he supports the Holy Martial Emperor.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this guy named Ji Xuyao, the other one said, "Your Highness, the wedding has already begun to be planned at Rose Manor. Would you like to take a look at the wedding process?"

It was already late at night when he hung up the video call. Yu Shaoze rubbed his brows and walked towards his room. When he passed by Jiang He's door, he subconsciously slowed down his steps and vaguely heard the sound of someone playing games inside.

Tenderness appeared in his eyes and the corners of his lips raised slightly with a smile.

He had never thought that he would marry her, but his dream was about to come true. Just thinking about it made his heart swell up like bubbles, warm and happy.

Jiang He played games all night and slept until noon the next day.

Uncle Deng served her food while nagging, "You can't sleep so late at night. Look at you, Miss. You don't even need smoky makeup to cover your dark circles. You'll get stomachaches easily if you don't eat breakfast in the morning. Hey, you young people, why don't you know how to take good care of your bodies?"

Jiang He took the small mirror handed to him by Uncle Deng and blinked his big eyes at himself in the mirror.

The sunlight from outside the window shone in and fell into the mirror. She looked at the dazzling light in the mirror and squinted happily.

It’s so happy to be like a rice bug every day.

The morning news in the living room was broadcasting, "Mr. Chen Zhiyun has been invited by Her Majesty the Queen to give a speech at Rose University. Her Majesty the Queen will appear at Rose University this afternoon to present Mr. Chen Zhiyun with the Human Lifetime Achievement Award."
