Chapter 3 Debut
After staying in Xu Mansion for two days, Xu Lingqu basically did not go out of the main door or the back door.
I was originally going to meet General Xu Chengbi, but it was said that a group of interstellar pirates had appeared at the Mulan border, so after the meeting, General Xu received the order from His Majesty and went to eliminate the pirates.
In fact, Xu Lingqu felt that he was deliberately avoiding the problems at home.
During this period, Ms. Gina invited a doctor from the capital star to check on Xu Lingqu's physical condition.
"It's a congenital deficiency. The conditions at the Zhuyun Frontier aren't very good, and the condition has accumulated over the years." The doctor frowned as he examined her. Finally, he could only say, "Use more physical therapy equipment to recuperate your body, and exercise regularly. The medicines the doctors at the Zhuyun Frontier Fortress don't have any harm, but they won't be very effective. Just take what they prescribe, and you'll be fine. You don't need to go get a special prescription."
Just as Xu Lingqu had expected, the condition of this body could not be cured immediately with medicine.
You have to be patient.
-
Xu Lingqu sat in front of a dressing mirror, while Ms. Gina stood behind her expressionlessly, meticulously styling her long hair.
The development of the beauty industry in the interstellar era is not that rapid, and there is not much difference from the Earth era.
Ms. Gina picked up the lipstick and put it on her. Her pale face immediately became rosy, and she finally looked less sick.
Today was the party that Lady Katrin had forced her to attend.
The admiral went to the frontier, and Ms. Gina stayed by Xu Lingqu's side to take care of him. Lady Catherine certainly would not worry about how to dress her, so Ms. Gina had to do it for her.
"You can sneak away if you're tired," Miss Gina reminded.
Xu Lingqu nodded slightly, stood up, and headed to the main venue of today's banquet.
When we walked to the backyard of Xu Mansion, most of the guests had already arrived. They were all nobles living nearby, in the political center of the Interstellar Empire.
In fact, it didn't matter if Xu Lingqu, the so-called protagonist, was not at this banquet. People in the backyard were already chatting with each other. Catherine and her daughter Xu Xizhen were gathered in the center of the crowd. No one cared whether Xu Lingqu came or not.
Xu Lingqu was hesitating about whether to just go back to sleep, when Catherine's eyes penetrated the crowd and locked onto her.
"We Lingqu are here." She gave a decent smile and called Xu Lingqu over.
At this moment, all the guests present were looking at Xu Lingqu and whispering to each other.
"Is this the daughter that General Xu Chengbi is going to adopt?"
"You are so stupid, you still believe that she is a real adopted daughter?"
"Tsk... I never thought General Xu was such a person. Madam Catherine is so generous..."
"She doesn't look as good as Xu Xizhen. I'm Lady Catherine, and I'm relieved."
Xu Lingqu ignored her and slowly walked to Lady Catherine's side, looking at Xu Xizhen, her nominal sister.
The girl inherited her mother's long golden hair, but she looks more like her father. She has the typical appearance of an oriental girl, with a cold and proud temperament. Her custom-made dress is glittering and colorful, making her look like an elf from this world.
Catherine looked at the two people standing together and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Her goal was achieved. Xu Lingqu set off Xu Xizhen very well.
She patted Xu Xizhen's shoulder with satisfaction, indicating that she was going to chat with the Countess aside, and left the two of them staring at each other.
"You..." Xu Xizhen was the first to break the deadlock and said, "I heard that you also signed up for Moye Military Academy."
“Yes, your brother signed me up,” Xu Lingqu nodded.
Xu Xizhen showed a very puzzled expression, as if he had discovered one of the ten unsolved mysteries in Xu Lingqu. "I chose to enroll in Moye Military Academy because I admire Admiral Yinhe very much. Why did you do that?"
Galactic Admiral? Galaxy?
Xu Lingqu's heart moved, and he continued, "I also admire...Galactic Admiral."
Xu Xizhen tilted his head with a skeptical expression and stared at Xu Lingqu for a long time. Xu Lingqu remained calm and lied calmly.
"It's human nature to admire Admiral Yinhe." Xu Xizhen quickly convinced himself and moved closer to Xu Lingqu. "I heard you applied for the Command Department. We can then participate in the Moye Military Academy tryouts together."
She did not elaborate on the information related to the Galaxy Admiral, and Xu Lingqu felt a little regretful.
However, thinking that he knew nothing about this Moye Military Academy, and that Xu Xizhen seemed to know more, he continued, "I don't know the specific content of the trial training yet."
As soon as she expressed her confusion, Xu Xizhen began to introduce things to her enthusiastically, like a helpful little golden retriever.
"The trial training at Moye Military Academy will last about one and a half months. This time, I heard from my brother that the location has been set at a small planet in the Triple Star System, a place similar to field training. Some cross-country training will definitely be unavoidable, and I'm ready to be a sharpshooter in the jungle." Xu Xizhenyue said, the gleam in his eyes becoming more intense, as if he was not talking about the arduous training, but a free shopping spree at the cake shop.
Then she was doomed to suffer and had to drag this body for cross-country training. Xu Lingqu was afraid that her soul would run ahead and her body would fall to the ground and die on the spot after taking two steps.
"I also heard from my mother that you're not in good health." Xu Xizhen suddenly reached out and hugged Xu Lingqu. "Don't worry, the training intensity of the command department shouldn't be that high. And I'm here with you. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me."
She is indeed like an enthusiastic golden retriever puppy, and will come up and rub against a human she has only met for a day.
Just looking at Xu Xizhen's cold and beautiful appearance, it is hard to imagine that she is such a person.
"Thank you." Xu Lingqu pushed her hand away without leaving a trace. He was hugging her too tightly, worried that the body would be strangled to death on the spot.
"It's just a small thing. What's there to thank me for?" Xu Xizhen had a smile on her face. She was about to get closer to Xu Lingqu when Lady Catherine, who was not far away, called her name with a dark face.
Although she walked over to chat with the Countess, her eyes never left Xu Lingqu and Xu Xizhen.
Looking at her silly daughter hugging Xu Lingqu and talking and laughing, Catherine wanted to ask the medical robot to give her a shot of cardiac stimulant on the spot.
When his mother called him away, Xu Xizhen stuck out his tongue at Xu Lingqu embarrassedly and walked away obediently.
Xu Lingqu noticed Lady Catherine's indescribable expression and thought it was very funny, but he couldn't laugh out loud.
She maintained an expressionless face, nodded at Xu Xizhen, then consciously avoided crowded places and walked towards the garden.
Mrs. Catherine's green face was really funny, and Xu Xizhen's guilty look like a puppy who had done something wrong was even funnier.
The garden was quiet and sparsely populated, with the only sound being the rustling of flowers in the wind and the gurgling of the fountain in the center.
Xu Lingqu strolled around here leisurely. A place with fewer people made her feel more comfortable. Walking back and forth more often was also a good exercise for her body.
