Chapter 856: Your circle is so chaotic
This is actually a very bloody story.
Xia Yan quietly explained to Lin Fan: "In fact, there are still many countries in the West that practice constitutional monarchy. In those countries, the monarch is actually just a figurehead?"
Lin Fan understood that, just like in some countries on Earth, the monarch was nominally the hereditary head of state, the commander-in-chief of the United Kingdom's armed forces, and the hereditary leader of the state religion.
In terms of legal status, the monarch can appoint and dismiss the prime minister, ministers of various departments, senior judges and governors of various territories, and has the power to convene, suspend and dissolve parliament, approve and promulgate laws, command the army, declare war, etc.
But in reality, it is in a position of ruling but not governing, which is equivalent to a mascot.
However, the people still retain due respect and a certain degree of admiration for the royal family.
Her Highness Mia was born in such a country. The monarch of this country is Mia's aunt, the sister of Mia's mother.
Mia's mother was a notoriously rebellious princess in the royal family. She did not like the constraints of the royal family and yearned for the free and easy life of a civilian. Her two children, Mia and Mia's brother, gave up their royal titles and became civilians at the decision of Mia's mother.
Originally, Mia's family could have lived their lives peacefully as civilians. Even because of Mia's mother's identity as a princess, they only received more attention than other ordinary people, which would not affect Mia's family's lives.
However, Mia's mother's sister, the queen of this country, and her three children died one after another for various reasons, and the responsibility of royal heir fell on Mia's mother again.
But Mia's mother, who had been rebellious all her life, was unwilling to inherit her sister's throne, and her son, Mia's brother, was also unwilling to be a prince.
"Anyway, I don't know how the royal family discussed it, but in the end Mia returned to the royal family and became the first heir to the Queen."
Lin Fan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this: "Isn't this too ridiculous?"
Moreover, there are people who would rather be commoners than be queens or kings? How amazing!
"Do you think being a queen is easy? You have to maintain your elegant and noble image at all times, and your words and actions are bound by the so-called royal rules. If you are a little lively, the public may protest and say that you have lost the dignity of the royal family."
Xia Yan said: "If she is a powerful queen, she can be the queen and fight for her career for the rest of her life. The key is..."
The key point is that this queen is just a mascot. Apart from the so-called royal title and the love of the people, everything else is a bondage.
Although Mia's mother gave up her inheritance rights, she has signed cooperation agreements with major luxury brands by virtue of her title of princess. Among the high-end luxury brands endorsed by Lin Fan, there is also a princess series specially created for Mia's mother, and the annual sales volume is unknown.
Mia's mother also had a very generous annual income, and with the title of princess, she also had a place in the upper class. She lived a very free and easy life. How could she go back to inherit the throne and bind herself to the title of "Queen"? Lin Fan was curious: "What about her brother?"
It is understandable that a mother doesn't want to go back after having wasted half her life. After all, she has experienced being bound by the royal family and enjoying a free life. She knows that going back to the past, or the past that she has decided to abandon, is not a little difficult.
But the two children have grown up as ordinary people. Don’t they want to try a different life?
More importantly, why is the older brother unwilling to go back and instead let his younger sister take on such responsibility?
Xia Yan lowered his voice to the lowest level: "I heard that it was because Mia's brother's marriage was not accepted by their country."
Mia's country is a standard heterosexual country, and Mia's brother's marriage is obviously not accepted by the royal family. But Xia Yan is not too clear about the specific situation.
Lin Fan became even more curious: "Your circle is so chaotic, but how do you know these things?"
Moreover, when Mia came on stage just now, Xia Yan obviously showed a surprised expression, as if he knew her.
In response, Xia Yan had only one sentence: "Because Mia is my mother's student."
Lin Fan:!!! My mother-in-law is amazing!
There is actually a future queen as a student!
Mia on the stage did not focus her eyes on the audience. With a faint smile on her young face, she lifted her skirt and slightly bent her knees to gesture to the audience, then sat down in front of the piano.
The scene fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mia. Some looked at her with curiosity, some with an inquiring mind, and some with a pure attitude of appreciating the music.
Mia adjusted her breathing and gently placed her hands on the black and white keys. The next second, strings of cheerful and joyful notes flowed out from her flying fingertips.
Mia gently closed her blue eyes and let herself wander in the ocean of music.
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations" is a song that Mia likes very much. Whenever Mia plays this song, she can recall her happy childhood.
At that time, he was not yet the heir to the throne. Although his mother was rebellious, she and his father gave him and his brother plenty of love and care.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I also have a gentle and beautiful piano teacher. Her daughter, a girl who is only a few years older than me, always regards herself as my sister and loves me very much.
He would accompany me to play those difficult songs over and over again, would take me to the square to feed pigeons on his bicycle, and would stand up for me when other people in school bullied me and teach them a memorable lesson...
My childhood was really just like what is depicted in the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations", happy, joyful, free and full of infinite possibilities.
But when did all this start to change? It was probably when my mother divorced my father and took me and my brother away from that sad place.
…
Under the stage, all the audience were immersed in the beautiful ocean of music.
The song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations" is full of yearning for innocence and praise for love.
The entire theme is in C major, with twelve variations progressing layer by layer. The happy notes are sunny and warm, like the flourishing camphor trees in summer, taking root in the warm hearts of every listener.
The hustle and bustle of the world, the worldly joy and happiness, are like clear and bright music, flowing in the wind and in the ears, and joy gushes out like a spring.
Every time Xia Yan heard this song, he could feel the little happiness in life, the gentle touches, and the soft warmth filling every corner of his heart.
Mia's piano playing skills were also very high, so there was no problem for her to perform this piece, but Xia Yan was still keenly aware that "her mood was messed up."
