Chapter 35 Glory
Ripple Galaxy
Main Star Chengtong Star
The starship passed through space, jumped through wormholes, and passed through planets of all sizes in the Yilian galaxy, and finally landed at the Royal No. 1 Port on Chengtong Star.
There are heavy guards outside the ship, who are dignified and solemn, isolating the crowd, guarding safety, and preparing to welcome the arrival of the master of the Yilian galaxy.
Mu Jiao kept Huo Qi company until very late last night before going back to rest. Early this morning, before she woke up, a group of female servants came outside to dress Mu Jiao up.
She wore an ice-blue long-sleeved dress, her long black hair lightly tied up with an ice-blue headband. Her hair curled slightly at the ends, and her bangs casually scattered across her forehead, giving her a playful and cute look. Mu Jiao had delicate skin, rosy white, and a healthy complexion, so she only received basic care. Considering that she was underage, the female attendant also matched her with a pair of low-heeled ice-blue shoes.
After cleaning and dressing up, Mu Jiao's sleepiness disappeared.
In the end, Mengmeng, the pet, actually got a cute little blue dress.
…
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, Mu Jiao couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself.
After dressing like this, Mu Jiao instantly thought of a saying: Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.
…
"Jiaojiao is so beautiful today!"
Mu Jiao was staring at the mirror in a daze when she heard Huo Qi's praise from not far behind her.
Looking in the mirror, Huo Qi was wearing a formal Mingao Empire military uniform and special black military boots.
The Mingao Empire's military uniform was dark blue, with an eleven-star flag embroidered in gold on the chest. Mu Jiao had seen this type of uniform in the Federal News.
In addition, Huo Qi had many badges hanging on his chest and a dark blue top hat on his head.
Hearing his praise, Mu Jiao felt a little embarrassed, so she also praised him:
"Well, thank you. Brother Qi is also very handsome today." Mu Jiao was definitely not perfunctory.
The man's appearance was already quite good, and now in this military uniform, he looked both beautiful and handsome, with a sense of abstinence.
"Haha, thank you Jiaojiao for praising me. Let's go. We should go out." As he said that, Huo Qi raised his arm and motioned Mu Jiao to hold his arm.
Mu Jiao had no choice but to go along with his wishes.
"Why are you dressed so formally today?" Mu Jiao was a little curious.
"Today is the first time I have appeared in public since my disappearance. There will be many media reporters outside, as well as people coming to welcome me. I can only ask Jiaojiao to help me pretend." Huo Qi lowered his head and explained to Mu Jiao.
"Will there be a lot of people?" Mu Jiao was a little worried.
"It's not much. Don't worry, just hold on to me. We'll be out soon and we'll be in the car in no time."
Then Jiaojiao can go home and rest first. I need to go to the press conference and then come back to accompany Jiaojiao." Huo Qi comforted her.
"Okay." She felt relieved that there weren't too many people.
…
As the two walked out of the tall warehouse door, Mu Jiao heard cheers.
As they walked, Mu Jiao felt that she and Huo Qi had completely different concepts of "crowds".
This is too exaggerated. In Mu Jiao's opinion, this is not just a lot of people, it's a sea of people.
Fortunately, there were many guards, and although the people not far away were excited, they were all respectful and polite to Huo Qi.
After walking for a few minutes, Huo Qi's subordinates came to greet them, and the two got into the car smoothly.
As soon as she got in the car, Mu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. God knows, she had never been watched by so many people in her entire two lives. Her heart was probably still beating fast.
"Jiaojiao performed very well. Now you can relax." Huo Qi said with a smile as he looked at the child who looked like he had survived a disaster.
"Brother Qi, I think we have different understandings of the concept of "crowds of people". My face is almost frozen from smiling." Mu Jiao rubbed her stiff face.
"Hahahahaha, okay, Jiaojiao, you've worked hard, take a rest first. I'll call you when we get home." Seeing that the child looked a little tired, Huo Qi knew that he had slept too late last night.
Mu Jiao: "I didn't expect you to be so popular, Brother Qi."
As a member of the imperial family, Huo Qi is so popular not only because of his noble status, but also because he is a young hero who leads the empire out of the trough of war.
In the war between the Empire and the Federation, strictly speaking, the Empire was at a complete disadvantage, and the situation had worsened since the disappearance of the former Crown Prince. The Empire suffered heavy losses from the Federation's attack, at one point losing half of its star region.
It was also at that time that Huo Qi led the army to fight, recapture the occupied star field, and stabilize the situation, which enabled the empire at that time to get out of the passive situation of being beaten and become able to compete with the Federation on equal terms.
A few years ago, he was seriously injured and suffered from genetic collapse syndrome, making him unable to lead the army. The war situation of the empire immediately became critical.
Later, His Royal Highness the Third Prince took over and reversed the situation of the war, recaptured several star systems that had been annexed by the Federation, and stabilized the situation.
The people have sharp eyes. Even though Huo Qi is now suffering from a terminal illness, he is still a hero who has made great sacrifices for the empire. Today, many young people in the empire still regard him as an idol.
So today's scene is actually nothing to Huo Qi.
Huo Qi: "..."
Huo Qi touched Mu Jiao's head, smiled slightly, and did not explain anything to Mu Jiao.
He was once a favored child of heaven and had enjoyed being sought after by others.
But since he fell ill, he has been afraid of such scenes, and now he is actually unwilling to go in front of people.
But this time, he had to be more high-profile. The enemy in the dark...
Huo Qi looked out the window at the cheering crowd not far away, wondering what he was thinking...
Seeing that he didn't want to talk any more, Mu Jiao leaned back on the chair and rested. She was a little tired after being woken up so early in the morning and cleaning for so long...
The car has started, with several high-end energy vehicles leading the way in front, and a large number of guards following behind, taking a royal low-altitude route exclusive to the royal family.
Today's energy vehicles have long since gotten rid of the wheels of their previous lives. They have a smooth bottom and can travel at very high speeds.
Looking down from the car, you can see the car passing through the bustling commercial area, pedestrian streets, and residential areas, speeding all the way. In just twenty or thirty minutes, the car stopped steadily in a garden area facing the sea.
This garden faces the sea to the east and covers a vast area. It also has several courtyards and pavilions. There are also vast lawns and zoos...
If Mu Jiao were awake, she would definitely sigh: "This is a typical little palace!"
Unfortunately, Mu Jiao was still asleep when the car stopped at the gate of Zhongze Villa.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning on Chengtong Star. The light was just right. Huo Qi gently got out of the car, holding the sleeping Mu Jiao in his arms.
As his subordinates who came to report around were stunned, he carried Mu Jiao across the hall, walked up the ladder, and placed Mu Jiao in the bedroom that had been prepared for her.
After drawing the curtains in the room, he gently took off his shoes and covered the child with the quilt. Huo Qi quietly looked at the child's sleeping face. After about five minutes, he quietly walked out of the room.
After instructing the housekeeper to take good care of Mu Jiao, Huo Qi leisurely came to the lobby on the first floor of the villa.
Lobby
"Ze Jiu, am I dazzled? Was that the master just now?"
"No, who else could it be except the master?" Ze Jiu.
"I heard that the master brought back a little girl, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be..."
"Yes, look at the Marshal's gentle face. I have never seen such a gentle look in such a long time!" A man who looked like a general also came over to speak.
"Don't even mention you. Those of us who have followed the master since childhood have never seen it."
"Oh my God, could it be that the master likes her? I just glanced at the girl and she looked so young. I wonder if she is eighteen or not. It seems that she is not even an adult yet!" A certain general.
"What's wrong with not reaching adulthood? Nowadays, ladies get married around 20 years old." said a personal guard.
