On Qin Xu's birthday, he had indeed invited all his friends to Hua Xia Lou. This was their first business, and even though the guests were children, everyone was incredibly excited and started working early. The sole chef pulled out all the stops, determined to capture the hearts and minds of these young guests.
When the chef was in China, he was the kind of person who could host a state banquet. After eating plate after bowl of delicious food, the little ones were all so full that they wished they could just stay in the Huaxia Building.
"Qin Xu, where did you find this restaurant? It's so delicious! I'm going to ask my parents to come over next time!"
"Yeah, yeah, I want to invite my parents over too. By the way, does this restaurant deliver food? I'll be ordering takeout from here from now on."
The little carrot-head chattered away, and Qin Xu, who had grown up in China, felt incredibly proud listening to their sincere praise. He answered their questions one by one with a broad smile, concluding, "This restaurant is owned by my Uncle Tang, but my dad also has a stake in it. Uncle Tang said he'll give you a discount if you bring your family over!"
"Is your dad the tall, handsome one with blue eyes?" The beautiful girl sitting next to him suddenly brightened up her eyes.
When Qin Xu heard this, the corners of his mouth that had been raised high suddenly drooped down, and he said with a stern face: "Both of them are my fathers. They are both married and have a good relationship. He will not marry anyone else."
The proud little beauty's face flushed instantly, but she was obviously well-educated and did not lose her temper on the spot.
Qin Changqing and Lan Sinian did not appear at the party with the little ones, but sat in the private room upstairs in the hall to keep them company. The two little ones' voices were clear and loud, and the two adults upstairs could hear them clearly. Qin Changqing immediately smiled and looked at Lan Sinian meaningfully.
Lan Sinian immediately said, "Dear, you have to believe that I am innocent. As a good man who cares about his family, I never mess around with other women."
Qin Changqing smiled, "Oh?"
Seeing his obvious disbelief, Lan Sinian quickly further explained, "I'm telling the truth. Before I met you, I didn't even have a lover." His body belongs exclusively to his queen!
Qin Changqing found it a little unbelievable and asked with a little curiosity: "Why?" As an emperor, and an emperor with excellent conditions and power, what kind of beauty would he not want?
The Emperor said proudly, "They are all inferior creatures, not one ten-thousandth as good as the Empress. I have very high standards."
Qin Changqing: "..." Your Majesty, if you are picky, just be picky. Don't use me as an excuse, okay? Besides, you are already in your thirties and still a virgin. What is there to be proud of?
…
After Qin Xu’s birthday, Qin Changqing’s birthday party will be held two months later, and the palace will become even busier.
Qin Changqing could not help in any way in the palace. It just so happened that Xitu had recently met some people with superpowers who were suffering from mania, so he followed him around to treat people, thinking that he was introducing business to him.
When he came from Earth before, he brought with him a batch of cinnabar jade ornaments. He originally planned to sell them as ornaments, but now they have a better use.
After pulling another patient out of his manic state, Qin Changqing tied several cinnabar jades to his wrists and then "stored" the red light into each of them one by one, ready for emergency use. Because this red light seemed to only appear when encountering a person with superpowers infected with mania, even Qin Changqing couldn't control it. He could only use the opportunity of saving people to get more cinnabar jades that stored red light.
After just one month, Qin Changqing finally had a lot of this cinnabar jade in his hands. He wanted to find an opportunity to try out the effect of the cinnabar jade made in this way. Therefore, whenever Xitu asked him for help, he would not refuse.
Time passed by in the busyness of everyone. In a few days, it would be Qin Changqing's birthday.
Because the princes and nobles of the eight clans had all received Lan Sinian's personal invitation, starting from a few days ago, these princes and nobles had arrived at the Imperial Star one after another. The Imperial Star was very lively for a while, but the situation also became quite complicated. How to deal with the friction and conflicts between the clans became a problem.
However, Qin Changqing didn't quite understand all this, and Lan Sinian never let him worry about these tedious matters, and always took the time to handle them personally. His tolerance made Qin Changqing feel relieved, and he was also very moved by everything Lan Sinian had done for him.
That day, Qin Changqing had just expelled a parasite from a manic patient. Before the patient's family could come over to thank him, he received an anxious call from Qi Feng.
"What's wrong?"
"Queen, where are you now? His Majesty just had a tantrum in the palace. How about you come back now?"
Qin Changqing found it a bit strange. Although Lan Sinian was very cold and ruthless when facing outsiders, Qin Changqing had never seen him lose his temper. He felt that this was very inconsistent with Lan Sinian's character. He was a little worried. He immediately left a cinnabar jade ornament to the patient and immediately rushed back to the palace in a flying vehicle.
The palace has been very lively recently. It has never been so lively since Lan Sinian ascended the throne.
Because it was the Queen's birthday party, many nobles came to celebrate. Because the gifts they brought were expensive or took up too much space, they were sent to the palace in advance to store them and avoid any accidents. And it was these gifts that made Lan Sinian angry.
Qin Changqing arrived at the palace and listened to Qi Feng's explanation of what had happened along the way.
"It's the Snake Clan. They also gave you a gift, but what they gave you was..."
"What is it?" Qin Changqing frowned slightly when he saw Qi Feng hesitating.
Qi Feng glanced at him and said angrily, "It's a beauty given to His Majesty."
Qin Changqing: "..."
When he saw Lan Sinian, Lan Sinian had already ordered all the people from the Snake Clan to be expelled from the palace. Qin Changqing walked into the palace and happened to pass by the beauties who had been sent there.
The beauties were indeed very beautiful, with graceful features, enchanting figures, and excellent temperaments. They must have been carefully selected by the Snake Clan. Prince Suo of the Snake Clan probably hated Qin Changqing to the core. He heard from Qi Feng that the person who sent the gifts had disguised these beauties as ordinary servants to sneak into the palace, and then revealed them to Lan Sinian after presenting them to him. No one knew of this plan before, otherwise they would have been stopped outside the palace by the palace guards and would not have had the chance to set foot inside.
When the two sides passed each other, Qin Changqing instinctively looked at those beauties. The three beauties were also looking at him at this time. One of the beauties looked at him with a vicious look in her eyes. If his eyes could eat people, Qin Changqing would have been bitten to pieces by him long ago.
Qin Changqing was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and what's more, these people were targeting him. When he saw that look, a ball of fire suddenly burst out in his heart and his steps stopped.
"Queen?" Qi Feng, who was following him, asked worriedly.
Qin Changqing looked at the beauties from the Snake Clan who were looking at him provocatively, stopped the guards who were trying to drive them away, and sneered, "Since they are gifts from the Snake Clan, I'll accept them."
Qi Feng was startled, then his face turned extremely anxious, fearing that he would fall into a trap. "Queen, they are..."
Qin Changqing waved his hand at him. Seeing the faces of the beauties from the Snake Clan change drastically, he continued in a cold voice, "Send them all to my laboratory. Oh, and remember to tell them not to touch my things."
"What are you going to do to us?!" The beauty from the Snake Clan turned pale with fear when she heard the word "laboratory" and shouted, "I'm going to sue you for illegally detaining us and violating our personal freedom!"
Qin Changqing had already turned around and was about to leave, but upon hearing this, he suddenly smiled. He glanced back at the three beauties and said jokingly, "Aren't you sending me birthday gifts? Do you really want to be the masters of the palace? You just want a 'gift' and you expect to come and go freely in the palace?"
Of course, the beauties were not sent to him simply as gifts, nor were they there to serve him. Their goal was very clear, which was to seduce His Majesty the Emperor and cause trouble for him at the same time!
But of course they couldn't say this purpose openly. Moreover, not only did the emperor not like them, he also got angry in front of them and drove them away. They didn't dare to say anything and their faces turned pale.
Qin Changqing didn't bother looking at them anymore. He gave Qi Feng a look, and Qi Feng immediately understood. He smiled and called the guards over. Ignoring the beauties' panicked screams, he dragged them all away. At the end, he didn't forget to order: "Remember to search them first. Don't leave anything dirty in the Queen's laboratory."
The three beauties screamed again, but unfortunately the palace guards were not easy to deal with. They grabbed one of them in each hand and carried them away like chickens.
The commotion here seemed to alarm Lan Sinian. Lan Sinian, who was already in a very bad mood, walked out with a gloomy face. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw his queen coming back.
As soon as the Emperor saw his own Queen, the anger on Zhang Jun's face immediately turned into full of grievance. He took a step with his long legs and tightly embraced the Queen with his open arms. He buried his big head in his neck and rubbed against her like a big dog that had been wronged outside.
Qin Changqing felt itchy from being rubbed by him, and slapped him angrily, "What are you doing?"
His Majesty the Emperor really felt aggrieved, "How dare they put such an ugly person in front of me, are they treating me as a trash can?!" A good man twisted his waist like a snake, it was really an eyesore!
Qin Changqing suddenly laughed. "Oh? If there's a beautiful woman you like, what are you going to do? Just take her in?" He had originally thought his sudden anger was simply due to his dislike for the Snake Clan and their deliberately provocative behavior, but now facing Lan Sinian, he realized that his anger had never subsided! Beauty? Screw it!
Lansinian realized later that his queen seemed really angry, and turned her head to look at him cautiously.
Qin Changqing didn't know what he was thinking about, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at him fiercely, pushed him away and turned away.
The angry queen probably didn't even notice that her face was uglier than ever before, her mouth was pursed fiercely, and there were two balls of fire burning in her eyes, as if she wanted to burn everything she saw to ashes!
Lan Sinian and Qi Feng looked at each other silently. Qi Feng gave him a look that told him to fend for himself and took the opportunity to slip away.
Lan Sinian sighed and quickly followed behind his queen, thinking about how to coax her.
He originally thought that Qin Changqing would not care about such trivial matters. After all, Qin Changqing had always acted indifferent and indifferent to their relationship. Lan Sinian considered himself broad-minded and did not care about many things. He believed that as long as he treated Qin Changqing sincerely, he would be able to impress him sooner or later, so he naturally thought that Qin Changqing would not care about these things.
But the queen's anger clearly showed that he cared about all this, very much. Lan Sinian felt sweet joy in his heart, followed the queen into the house, and then diligently served him tea and water.
Qin Changqing wanted to get some new cinnabar jade, but Lan Sinian, a tall and strong man, kept wandering in front of him, getting in the way. He turned around and they almost bumped into each other. Qin Changqing was so angry that he kicked him in the leg, "Don't block the way."
"My dear, you despise me." His Majesty the Emperor followed behind him pitifully, but his blue eyes were filled with deep happiness and... arrogance.
Qin Changqing said bluntly: "Yes, I just dislike it. It's annoying that you attract so many people all day long."
"My dear, how could you wrong me? I have been a virgin since I was old enough to understand things. I have been waiting for you to come and favor me, but you never come. I have been waiting for more than 30 years!" It is so sad to hear it and it makes me cry! Don't even mention how pitiful it is!
Qin Changqing was so angry that he laughed, "Do you think you are a beauty contestant?" Do you want to write another poem about a complaining woman?
"What is a talent show?" Lan Sinian blinked.
"Just like the beauty the Snake Clan just sent to you, for your favor." Qin Changqing said with a smile.
His Majesty the Emperor keenly sensed that his Queen's smile was a bit dangerous, so he practically changed the subject. "My dear, you've been busy all day, aren't you tired? Let me give you a shoulder massage."
"Go and give it to your beauty."
For the first time, Lan Sinian discovered that his queen not only had a bad temper, but also had an even worse temper. She got so angry just because of a few people whom he had never even looked at. It really made him distressed and sweet. He secretly planned to drive away these people sent by the Snake Clan as soon as possible. Although he could see that the queen was jealous of him, he felt so distressed that he had made the queen seriously ill with anger.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought came to his mind, the door was knocked on by the guards in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Lan Sinian's expression changed in a second, he opened the door and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I just searched those three people on the Queen's orders. This is what we found on them." The guard presented a tray with not many things on it. Lan Sinian took a quick glance and a piece of translucent cloth-like object immediately caught his attention.
He frowned slightly and reached out to pick up the "cloth".
There were some snake scale-like patterns on the translucent "cloth", a bit like snake skin, but whiter and more transparent. Lan Sinian recognized that this was a secret technique used by the Snake Clan to record some secret documents.
Lan Sinian held the cloth in his hand and pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Send someone to identify what's written on it. Those people should take a good look."
When he came back, his face was cold. Qin Changqing was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lan Sinian hugged him again and rubbed his face. "The Queen is really my lucky star. If you hadn't stopped those people, I would have let them go."
"Huh?" Qin Changqing was a little surprised, "Aren't they wrong?" Isn't their purpose to come to the palace to seduce Lan Sinian?
His Majesty the Emperor hugged his sweet queen and continued to rub her. "I hadn't thought of this before. Maybe they are taking this opportunity to come to the Imperial Star to do something."
"Yeah." Qin Changqing nodded, then said, "Lansinian."
"Hmm?" His Majesty the Emperor Big Dog seemed to have just obtained a new doll. He held it in his arms and wished he could roll around wildly on the ground a few times and bounce around happily.
Qin Changqing held the threading needle in front of him, looked at him sinisterly and said, "If you scratch my body again, I will use the needle to scratch you!"
His Majesty was so frightened by the sharp needle that he immediately let go of his queen. He stood far away and said in fear, "Dear, calm down. It hurts when you are pricked by a needle."
"Oh, I'm glad you know." The noble and beautiful Queen chuckled, slowly put away the needle, and skillfully and virtuously tied a knot on the bracelet she had just made.
When Lan Sinian saw what was in his hand, he immediately became dissatisfied and said sourly, "Honey, you made this bracelet to give to another man, right? I'm jealous."
Qin Changqing rolled his eyes and ignored him, continuing to act funny. There were plenty of maids in the palace, so there was no need for him to personally weave the things he was sending out. If he was asked to do it himself, it was because he wanted to make a better one for someone.
※
Qin Changqing put his hands in his pockets, walked out of the Royal Academy, looked around, and walked towards a car on the side of the road.
After returning from Earth, Qin Changqing still occasionally found time to attend classes at school. He had been busy lately, and after finally finding time to come, he had just attended one class when he was called out by the West Library.
"What are you doing?" Qin Changqing got into the aircraft and was shocked to see Xitu looking tired and with bloodshot eyes.
Xitu just dozed off for a moment, but was still very sleepy. He frowned and rubbed his face, saying, "It's almost the Queen's birthday banquet, and the identities of the people coming to the Imperial Star lately are getting more and more complicated. The police are very busy. Last night, a big incident happened, and they were busy all night."
Qin Changqing knew that they were so busy because of his birthday party. He apologized in his heart and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Xitu often asked him for help and had long considered him one of his own. He didn't hide anything when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "A person with special abilities was killed, and the other party even ate the body."
Qin Changqing was shocked. He didn't expect that cannibalism would happen on the seemingly peaceful Imperial Star!
"From the information we've received so far, the four Blood Gang clans with a long history of crimes are merely incompetent samurai. The other clans are peace-loving and wouldn't do such a thing. Currently, we're most suspicious of only one person."
"Who?" Qin Changqing asked subconsciously.
Xitu gritted his teeth and uttered three words, "Blood Rose."
Qin Changqing asked blankly, "Who?"
Xitu looked at him in surprise, "You don't know who Blood Rose is?"
Qin Changqing really didn't know and shook his head.
Xitu didn't expect that he didn't know such common sense, so he had to patiently explain to him, "Have you heard of Rose Garden? It's one of the five major gangs in the empire."
"I've heard of it." Qin Changqing nodded. Lan Sinian... no, it was Fourth Master Jin who had told him some basic information about these gangs, but he didn't give any specific explanations.
"Blood Rose is the boss of the Rose Garden."
Qin Changqing: "..." Why would a good gangster boss have any other name, but choose such an artistic name? Who knows?
He asked curiously, "Is she a woman?"
Xitu shook his head, "Who said that? He's a man. It's so scary for a woman to bite someone."
Qin Changqing: "..."
...No, Officer Situ, do you have any misunderstandings about men? Men biting people is also scary, okay?
