Chapter 44: It's not easy to choose a queen, so the old man has to get up and help him manage...
Breakfast was a generous portion of smoked sausage and fried eggs. After drinking the last drop of warm milk, Bai Ling felt his chest warm up.
He helped the little robot put the dishes into the kitchen, grabbed his backpack, and hurried to class.
In the main hall, the mermaid stood by the fireplace with a faint glow of fire, her sleeves rolled up to her forearms, the bronze eagle claw buckles glowing dimly. He was holding the porcelain cup between his bony fingers. When he heard someone coming, he turned his head slightly without saying anything, like an animal that had been dormant all night, feeling a little tired and lazy.
As he passed by Yu Chen, a strong and bitter smell of coffee hit his nose, forcing Bai Ling to take two steps back involuntarily and retreat back to the mermaid.
Squinting at his cup.
Look at this familiar outfit again.
Bai Ling made a judgment: "Did you stay up all night last night?"
When Yu Chen heard the bird's tone, he smiled silently.
He can now basically infer Bai Ling's mood through the words he chooses. If there is no subject, it is basically a precursor to displeasure, and this displeasure, to a certain extent, represents the other party's concern.
"I have something to take care of." Yu Chen answered briefly.
There is a time difference between the planets, and most members of the Demon Pillar do not live in the capital. In order to speed up the acquisition process, Yu Chen has to stay in front of the computer and make timely decisions.
If they take back these properties from the nobles, they will have a little more money.
In this way, no matter what Bai Ling does in the future, he can give the other party enough confidence.
"Staying up all night, no wonder he has to take drugs all day." Bai Ling frowned and muttered.
"Are you still coughing?" Yu Chen was thinking about this.
"I had a slight cough, but I feel better after a good night's sleep."
Yu Chen hooked his fingertips and ordered the AI: "Go get some cough syrup."
Bai Ling held her bag and glanced at the time: "No, I have to go. I'm going to be late."
Yu Chen put the cup down and said, "Let them wait."
“…”
You are worthy of it.
His toughness seemed to be protective of his child, but Bai Ling could accept it.
and……
Bai Ling glanced at the bloodshot in his eyes and muttered unconsciously in his heart, forget it, forget it, he wants to experience being fed medicine by his parents, just let him do it this time.
It’s early in the morning, let’s all have fun.
So, the little robot brought the syrup bottle, and Bai Ling took it directly. Maple syrup flowed softly into the spoon. He grabbed the mermaid's hand and stuffed the spoon into her.
Yu Chen had a subtle expression. Why was he so cooperative today?
Bai Ling reminded: "Lift the spoon higher."
Yu Chen felt the silver spoon between his fingers tremble, and the little bird took the spoon handle into its mouth, its soft lips touching his nails, which made his heart move slightly.
Bai Ling took a sip of the syrup, which was chilly, and his brows knitted together:
“So sweet.”
Yu Chen lowered his eyes and his Adam's apple moved inadvertently.
After finishing the procedure quickly, Bai Ling thought about how this guy lost control last night, touched the X-ray film in his bag, and with a cold face, he grabbed the broad shoulder, lightly and quickly touched the side of the mermaid's cheek, and threatened seriously:
"If you don't go to sleep, I'll install a camera in your bedroom to monitor you."
AI:? ! !
Mechanical bird, do you understand?
You know, in their robotics world, proposing to install a camera on someone is literally a marriage proposal.
It is so romantic that the other person is willing to sense you through distant electromagnetic waves and across thousands of miles.
If it is, the CPU has burned out by now.
After the AI finished sighing, the camera turned to its owner.
Yu Chen looked very calm. He responded calmly and let Bai Ling leave.
The AI looked at its master's calm face and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.
As expected of the master!
Calm and rational, and always strictly self-controlled, comparable to humans running AI.
The AI praised the mechanical bird for its dedication while marveling at its master's perfection. It moved to the laundry room and took out the clothes that Bai Ling had asked it to dry, preparing to take them to the bedroom. As it passed the hall -
Um? Why is the master missing?
Maybe he went to the greenhouse to bask in the sun.
AI recalled that since the owner had the mechanical bird, the number of illnesses had greatly decreased.
Fortunately, the mechanical bird is not a real omega, otherwise, with the mental pressure from its owner from time to time, an ordinary omega would definitely faint after staying there for too long.
Of course, even for bionic humans, there is still the possibility that the system can be hacked by the owner.
AI reasonably guessed that the mechanical bird must have been installed with a network firewall, which was how it resisted the "occupation" of its owner.
But the owner probably won’t do that now, he has become much more sunny.
AI turned the corner with relief and came to the dark inner room. In the shadow deep in the door frame, where the light could not reach, someone was biting a spoon in the dark, scooping out syrup, bite by bite.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:"……"
Its calculation results may be wrong again.
The AI watched its master slowly walk out of the darkness behind him, like a vampire having a small meal, wiping his lips gracefully, and placing the syrup bottle on its head as he passed by.
AI took the bottle and saw that it was empty.
Look at the silver spoon again, it is covered with teeth marks.
Well, it has to be said that it's a good thing this isn't the butt and neck of the mechanical bird.
·
The etiquette officer is in a bad mood today.
Early in the morning, he received a message from the internal affairs department, informing him that The Great King was seriously injured in an attack by unknown terrorists, and all his schedule for the day had to be cancelled, including the "Dance for Milk" activity that he had carefully prepared.
The etiquette officer was furious.
Who is this blind terrorist who is so ungrateful?
Can't we blow it up a day later?
The etiquette officer glanced and saw the famous troublemaker in the class, "Big Tit", sneaking into the classroom.
Late again. Without O morality and without manners, how can such an omega bring a bright future to the empire? If left unchecked, it will only lead to corruption or even destroy the next generation of the empire!
Just as the etiquette officer was about to go over and set the rules, "Great Tit" took out a thick book and began to read it attentively.
At first glance at the cover, "The History of Royal Succession Law - Teach You How to Be a Qualified Queen"
The etiquette officer paused, his expression mixed with surprise and doubt, then changed from gloomy to cheerful, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Although the goal was set too high and there is suspicion of being unrealistic, but now I know that there is still hope as long as I work hard. An early bird catches the worm, and a lame turtle can travel a thousand miles. This is the quality that an excellent omega should have.
Well, "Big Tit", the future is promising.
The back row of the lecture hall.
Sava woke up from his nap and found someone beside him. He leaned over and squinted for a while, gradually becoming confused:
"What is this? 'The Queen's Succession Law (Abnormal Means): For the Queen to inherit the position of head of state, the following three conditions must be met...'"
Sava lowered his eyes and read along the paragraph.
1. The country is in great danger, or the monarch declares a state of emergency level 12, which is [hurricane level]
2. The monarch has appointed a queen for 48 hours (and the monarch has not died of unknown causes within 48 hours)
3. If the monarch has no queen and is critically ill for more than 240 hours, the throne will be taken over by the next-in-line prince or a relative.
"It's such a hassle. I might as well just blow him up. Who made this rule?"
Sava simply complained, Bai Ling turned to the next page and saw a line of words: [This inheritance law follows the old calendar]
That is the law passed down from the old empire.
Bai Ling was thoughtful. Isupareso seemed to perfectly meet the third rule. He did not appoint a queen and directly handed over the throne.
He could also make some guesses as to why the old man didn't appoint a queen.
First of all, the queen has great legal power. She not only has the right of inheritance and diplomatic power, but also can control military power when the emperor is alive.
This is a huge threat to imperial power in any country with a highly centralized monarch. Once the emperor and empress fall out, the dynasty will change in minutes.
Secondly, it is not easy to choose a queen.
Choosing people with prominent family background and talents from the middle and upper classes can indeed help share some affairs with the emperor, but it is easy to form external relatives' power and divide the emperor's power.
If we choose a smart and beautiful one from the lower class, she will most likely not be able to fit into the treacherous atmosphere of the upper class, and might even find it difficult to protect herself. She might be killed if she accidentally walks out of the palace, let alone take up the banner and shoulder the responsibility when the country is in danger.
In short, not having a queen is the most effective and least likely to cause changes.
As for why this useless "Queen's Succession Law" has not been repealed, it is entirely because it is closely linked to the Constitution. If it is deleted, it will require a large number of legal talents to repair it, and new bugs may also arise, so it is simply ignored.
Bai Ling fell into deep thought.
Indeed, if the constitution is not changed, Isupareso will not be able to be a puppet queen, and the old woman will have to get up and help him manage the country.
Isn't that better? It also saves a secretary's annual salary!
Bai Ling stroked his chin and fell into beautiful reverie.
There is just one question, can the mermaid's eyes be cured? I can't just lead that guy up to the throne...
Sava looked at him in reverie and asked incomprehensibly, "Why are you researching this when you have nothing to do?"
Bai Ling said solemnly: "Improve yourself and realize your dreams."
Sava: “?”
He opened his orange eyes wide and looked at the other person in shock. This stinky bird is becoming more and more confusing. He was having a hot relationship with his guardian a while ago, and now he wants to command the harem?
Is my ambition misplaced?
No, the last time this guy had an addiction attack, the alpha list did not appear when he checked the forbidden ring. In the empire, only the monarch does not have to wear a forbidden ring. Now that I think about it carefully, those beef jerky from unknown sources, milk, new prosthetic limbs, cashmere wool jackets... are all very suspicious!
This stinky bird, wouldn't he really endure the humiliation and go to bed with the emperor just for revenge?
"Hey, Bai Ling," Sava sternly grabbed him, lowered his voice, and called him by his name seriously for the first time, "Tell me the truth, did you go to the emperor's bedchamber?"
Bai Ling was copying down the key points in a notebook, and without even raising his eyes, he said casually, "No, I haven't slept yet."
"Why didn't you sleep?" Sava thought of a scary thing. He heard that Cade had a functional disorder and could only use his tentacles to move around. Could it be that he didn't sleep like this?
"He doesn't let me sleep." Bai Ling said lightly.
Sava's heart was filled with turmoil. Did you force them to do this?
What else could he say? He could only give a thumbs up and praise: "...Come on, work hard, and kill him."
When Bai Ling heard the word "gan duan", he raised his head and realized that the emperor Sava was referring to was TGK. He didn't say that the tyrant had actually had one of his tentacles killed.
Bai Ling nodded at him: "Okay, let's do it."
Sava is ready again: "Fuck hard!"
The etiquette officer who passed by knocked on the table and glared: "Watch your words and behavior, no swearing."
Just as the bell for the end of get out of class rang, Sava picked up his bag with one hand, picked up Bai Ling with the other, rolled his eyes at him, and walked away.
Etiquette Officer: ...This is why I hate people with connections!
Despite the scolding, the etiquette officer still took out the terminal and honestly replied to the message of His Majesty's most trusted confidant, the head of the palace secretary, the cunning and powerful official second only to the emperor in the empire, Lord Heinz.
[Etiquette Officer]: Dear sir, thanks to you, your ward, Master Diaoyu, had two extra bowls of rice at noon.
[Heinz - seriously injured - please forgive my slow reply speed]: Well, thank you for your understanding as well. After all, you know that I have just inherited the title of Duke of Eagle Owl, and I don’t want any unpleasant news to spread outside, saying that I, Heinz, am ungrateful and abused the young master of my former master.
[Ceremony Officer]: Yes, yes, of course. We will protect the honor of Master Heinz!
In fact, the etiquette officer wiped his sweat and muttered in his heart that Heinz was really a two-faced person, and he was very good at saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
If you didn't hate the young master, could you have robbed his property?
Now, for fear of giving people a chance to talk, they have started to do these superficial efforts, and have also clearly pointed out in the internal affairs group that they must take good care of Young Master Owl, without hiding it from their colleagues at all.
The etiquette officer knows the ins and outs of this.
The nicer the people in the palace treated Master Owl, the more painful and miserable he felt, as he was forced to accept favors from his enemies.
This is called "cooking oil in a raging fire" and "killing people and destroying their hearts".
The etiquette officer felt a chill down his spine. Heinz was such a vicious villain.
"Burp," Sava passed by burping, and the etiquette officer couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Sava.
Sava: “?”
Cat head alert.jpg
Sava has always suspected that Stinky Jellyfish sent someone to monitor him. At first, he thought that person was Bai Ling. But now, why does it feel like the entire palace is filled with that B's spies?
But the one that followed them most closely was the annoying crane.
In the afternoon, they took the class "Appreciation and Practice of the Art of Milk-Seeking Dance" as usual.
When they heard that TGK was not coming, the crowd almost cheered, but the desire to survive made the omegas lock their voices in their throats. They all lowered their heads to glance at their companions and exchanged glances with each other.
——You hate him too?
--you also?
——Hehehe, hehehehehe…
As the name suggests, the milk dance is a dance that imitates a baby bird flapping its wings to beg for food from its parents. Like the Peacock Dance, the White Pheasant Dance, the ballet Swan Lake and other dances from the ancient Earth era, this dance is an adaptation of the movements of birds and animals.
With the establishment of the new empire, this folk dance was given political significance by the authorities, from "giving thanks to parents for begging for food" to "giving thanks to TGK".
Therefore, it has also become the collective opening dance of the month-end dance party and is a [compulsory course] that every little bird and seafood must master.
Bai Ling took breastfeeding dance classes at school when she was young and learned it quite quickly.
He glanced at the two people in the back row. It wasn't so easy for the Dark Night Hen and the Crane...
Lin He didn't know what was going on. He was particularly unlucky today. Not only did his partner want to break up with him, but he was also assigned to the same group with the eagle owl in the last class, and the other party found fault with him everywhere.
Lin He was tall and thin, and there were many people standing in the dance studio. The etiquette officer was in front of them, ordering them to dance to the beat of "one, two, three, tap-da". Lin He accidentally stepped on someone's foot.
Savoie: "Ouch! Son of a bitch."
Lin He was furious: "Who are you talking about?"
Sava said to him, "I'm talking to you! Don't you have eyes? This is the sixth time you've stepped on me."
When Lin He thought of the sinister boss who didn't let him go back to his hometown to get married, and then looked at the boss's mistress who was even more difficult to deal with, and finally remembered his failed love affair, his nerves suddenly collapsed, and all the noble elegance and reserve of the crane were lost:
"You big ass bitch."
Sava was stunned for a moment, then bared his teeth: "Who are you calling a big-assed bitch!"
Lin He sneered: "Your butt is about to push open the door of my dormitory, bitch."
I quit. I’m going back and resign today!
The etiquette officer who passed by and was unfortunately sprayed with spit: "Orrrrddddeeerrrrrrr!!!"
The etiquette officer was so angry that he was shaking all over: "How can you speak so much foul language?! Stand here as punishment! Who of you still wants to swear? Get out together!"
There was silence all around, and everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Sava and Lin He walked out with crab steps.
As soon as they left, the etiquette officer felt the air was much cleaner, and he opened his arms affectionately as if embracing the sky:
"The milk-seeking dance is for our respected Emperor of Divine Martial Arts, Emperor Cade, to thank him for bringing equality and freedom to all omegas. He is the only hero who protects omegas!"
Bai Ling stood up: "I want to go out."
·
Outside the classroom, three birds were squatting at the foot of the wall, each playing with their own terminal.
Bai Ling was thinking about finding Anna to ask about the sponsor, but when he opened the terminal, he found that Anna had already sent him a message.
[Mentor-Anna]: [Sponsor List.XLS] Bird boy, many sponsors are here today, but I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?
