It looks really good.
It looks good no matter how you look at it.
It would be even better if I could stand on the opposite side and watch.
"Actually, you can dance with me." Jiang Jianyue suddenly invited.
She was holding the same cherry wine as Pei Ji, standing gracefully by the side, her smile elegant and charming.
"Maybe there will be some unexpected gains, like a jealous First Commander... or something like that..."
"I'm not standing here to make him jealous or angry." Pei Ji's tone did not reveal his emotions.
"Oh~" Jiang Jianyue took a sip of wine, "General Pei was such a jerk when he was in school, but after getting married, he turned out to be a good Alpha unexpectedly."
The two people on the dance floor spun in a circle to the music.
Pei Ji suddenly raised his hand and drank up the cherry wine in the glass.
He put the empty cup on the table and said, "I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."
"It's almost over." Jiang Jianyue reminded, "First dance."
"I can't bear to watch this for even a minute." Pei Ji turned his back to Jiang Jianyue and shook his hand. "It's painful."
…
As soon as we left the main hall, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
In order to avoid the reporters at the door, Pei Ji deliberately climbed out of an inconspicuous window and took many detours to an unknown path to the imperial court.
He lit a cigarette for the first time in a long time, held it between his fingers, and didn't take many puffs, just letting it burn and smelling the scent of burning grass in the air.
There were lights everywhere in the distance, and overhead as well.
Pei Ji looked up at the crescent-shaped giant and suddenly smiled.
No wonder they all said that Shen was indeed married to a remote planet. Baisha Star did not have such magnificent buildings, nor did it have inexhaustible energy that could allow Pettis to keep the lights on all night.
But it was tiring to look up, so Pei Ji withdrew his gaze.
He is destined not to be a bird and cannot fly that high.
The cobblestone path led in an unknown direction.
Pei Ji only knew that when he was almost halfway there, deafening applause came from the magnificent palace behind him, and when he was almost at the end, the smoke disappeared.
Pei Ji threw the cigarette butt to the garbage disposal robot that reached out to him.
This little thing has been following him since he lit his cigarette, with a few eye-catching pixelated words scrolling on the screen:
【Smoking is harmful to your health.】
Really advanced.
Pei Ji pressed its head and looked around. The words on the small robot's screen changed to:
Damaging royal property is a capital offense, punishable by death! Behead!
When I get back, I’ll buy a few and throw them into Chenxing Palace for fun.
Pei Ji thought so.
Just as he was about to return to the main hall, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the end of the path, where a small patch of purple mist appeared among the trees.
Pei Ji was stunned.
It's a wisteria flower.
The entire patch of vines belonging to Ai Fan in the Bright Moon Palace appeared in my mind.
Pei Ji's heart moved.
This plant is an extinct species that Pei Li reproduced specifically for Ai Fan. How come Messiah also has it?
He subconsciously walked towards the purple.
There aren't many vines in this patch, but they bloom profusely.
Slender vines cling to ancient branches, dotted with clusters of purple waterfalls.
Similar to the Bright Moon Palace, this is also a small flower garden with a white tea table placed under the vines.
Several service robots are cleaning up the fallen petals around the table.
Suddenly, Pei Ji heard powerful footsteps coming from the other side of the flowers, followed by an angry voice:
"She invited Shen Que to dance with her first dance just to piss me off!"
"...I almost couldn't help scolding her right then and there. I was so pissed off..."
"You don't understand how much she hates me. She spent a whole year in the Sea of Life just for..."
The sound came from far away and suddenly stopped.
Carolina stood in the center of the wisteria flowers, shrouded in purple mist.
She was still wearing the luxurious court dress she had worn tonight, with her skirt dragging on the ground. She had not taken off the jeweled crown, but the scepter was not in her hand.
Pei Ji knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty."
A serious voice came from above: "General Pei is not accompanying his wife at the banquet, why is he hanging out here?"
This sounded familiar. Pei Ji paused and said, "Come out for some fresh air."
"You're really exaggerating." Carolina said coldly.
Pei Ji took a deep breath and said silently in his heart:
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, don’t be angry… If I’m angry, I don’t know how long I’ll have to kneel… If it’s too long, Shen Que won’t be able to find you and I’ll get anxious again…
He deliberately avoided Carolina's ridicule and said in a deep voice: "I'll go back now."
As expected, Carolina didn't let him get up immediately.
But what surprised Pei Ji was that after a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Since you're out, have a cup of tea with me before you leave."
Pei Ji was stunned and couldn't help but glance up at the empress.
But Carolina had already turned and walked towards the tea table under the flower vines, looking at the tea set brought by the service robot.
"What are you standing there for? Get up."
She pointed at two cans of tea with her fingertips, and the painted enamel tea cans made Pei Ji feel even more familiar.
"Black tea or white tea? I don't drink anything else, so you choose one."
