The Mid-Autumn Festival was undoubtedly a success. The newly launched mooncakes were sold out, and the coloured lanterns and lantern fans of the Lantern Festival were also circulated everywhere. Many businesses followed this trend and made a fortune.
As for historians and archaeologists who had been studying Chinese history, they were more concerned about the Mid-Autumn Festival itself. They all wanted the Empire to restore the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unfortunately, due to its small impact, it did not attract much attention. Seeing this, Western scholars also ran to the database to search, intending to find a festival that represented Western culture. After searching for a long time, they found Christmas, but they only knew that Christmas was a big festival, and no one knew how to celebrate it specifically.
The professors looked at each other: Ask Su Yemu?
Someone immediately objected: He is the representative of Eastern civilization, what does he know? Humph!
Well, then continue to look through the documents! You will find it eventually!
The Mid-Autumn fever continued for a while until the wedding of the royal prince Brian and Sophie suppressed the topic.
People all said that the royal family had many happy events this year!
But people with eyes smelt something different. Both the prince and the county prince could only participate in politics after marriage. His Highness Ryan rushed to the throne before the crown prince. This information was not good.
It was no wonder that everyone thought so. When it was time to ascend the throne, it should have been Ryan’s biological father. Unexpectedly, he died of assassination before ascending the throne. The current emperor thus ascended the throne, and then found out that Ryan’s biological mother was pregnant. When he was ten years old, his biological mother died in an accident. His Highness Ryan had thus been humble since he was a child. After he turned ten years old, he had been living in the county prince’s mansion. He grew up alone and behaved low-key. However, a few months ago, after the crown prince officially appeared in front of the people, he entered the military to study. Now the crown prince had just been engaged and announced that he was going to get married. It was not surprising that everyone thought too much.
Su Yemu was not in the mood to care about the ups and downs outside. He was recently editing a home cookbook; more and more people had started cooking, but cooking methods had become a problem; let the people try one by one, and the number of unpalatable dishes would be too many, and their interest would be ruined.
Quite a few people went to Su Yemu’s live studio to learn, but many of the dishes Su Yemu made were big dishes. If you know the ingredients and the process, you could make them delicious. Otherwise, could everyone be a chef?
Su Yemu was busy, and He Yunting was not idle either. Sometimes he would come back very late, and Su Yemu would have gone to bed, but the two would meet every morning. Even if Su Yemu slept in, he would still see him when he got up.
During these busy days, Su Yemu received an invitation from Ryan where he announced his wedding date, so a formal dinner would surely be held.
Su Yemu and He Yunting appeared at the dinner together, attracting a lot of attention. Now many people in the imperial capital knew that Su Yemu was protected by He Yunting, and the relationship between the crown prince and him was also good. The emperor’s attitude was not obvious, but it could be seen that the emperor still disliked He Yunting.
Seeing him come in, he smiled less.
Sophie took Ryan’s hand and came to He Yunting and Su Yemu, holding up the wine glass, smiling: “Chairman Su, I also watched the live broadcast of your Imperial Kitchen’s opening banquet. Your cooking skills are really amazing. I am defeated.”
Sophie was completely different when Su Yemu first met her; at that time, she was a wilful child when she quarrelled with Kaili, but in just a few months, she went from directly confronting people to looking at people with a gloomy look. Now it seemed that the whole person had become heavy and more unpredictable.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“You are modest, but after all, you are a chef! It’s not unfair for me to lose. I have been learning cooking just for Ryan since I was a child,” Sophie smiled sweetly at Ryan and continued: “When I get married, I will have to trouble Chairman Su to host the banquet.”
As soon as these words came out, He Yunting and Ryan’s faces changed. Ryan was about to speak up for help, but He Yunting sneered: “With just you? What? It’s just announcing the wedding date. Whether you can marry into the royal family is still uncertain.”
He Yunting looked at Ryan: “Ryan, don’t you think so?”
Ryan’s face looked a little ugly.
“You…”
“That’s enough.”
Sophie’s face was furious. She wanted to refute He Yunting, but Ryan stopped her lightly: “Sorry, Marshal He, Sophie is ignorant. I will teach her well.”
“I hope so. A shallow and ignorant woman is not worthy of entering the royal family.” He Yunting glanced at Sophie, whose face was pale: “Don’t bring people to me for no reason.”
Sophie’s eyes turned red with anger. She bit her lips tightly, but her angry eyes were fixed on Su Yemu.
Su Yemu: Why?
“Ah!”
A shout suddenly rang out in the venue. People nearby turned their heads and were shocked; He Yunting actually poured wine on Sophie’s eyes. The dark red wine slid from her face to her white dress, and she looked particularly embarrassed. Sophie screamed: “You poured it on me, you poured it on me…”
“If you look at Su Su with this look again, I will dig out your pair of eyes.”
The extremely cold voice made people feel cold. Sophie hesitated, raised her head, and met He Yunting’s emotionless eyes. She was so scared that she took two steps back, her legs then softened, and she fell to the ground.
That look was like looking at a dead person.
Due to the sudden incident, the dinner ended hastily. When Su Yemu followed He Yunting back, he saw that he still had a cold face and pulled his sleeve: “Are you angry?”
Su Yemu was still thinking whether He Yunting had calmed down, but unexpectedly, he was almost there.
“No, I was just thinking about something,” He Yunting held Su Yemu’s hand and said softly: “By the way, I will leave the imperial capital in a while. You should go back to Saier Star to live for a while. When I return to the capital, I will pick you up.”
“Are you going on a mission?” Su Yemu said, and felt that he had asked too much. No matter what military mission it was, he should not ask. He waved his hand quickly: “I’m just asking casually.”
He Yunting looked at Su Yemu deeply and said, “Haha! I’m glad you asked.”
Su Yemu was puzzled.
He Yunting sighed: “You are still young!”
Su Yemu protested: “I am twenty-three, not young anymore.”
He Yunting just smiled and did not reply to Su Yemu’s words. Instead, he talked about something else: “Do you remember when the Beicheng case happened?”
“I remember. Is there any progress?”
“Well, the man you hit with the brick was the one who stole the Qilin Pendant. He was also the one who intercepted you in the Tiannv system later. According to the message, he wanted to take you away at that time. As for the reason, we will know it soon.”
The man who called himself Zeus was the son of the leader of the Exile Corps. The Exile Corps were General He’s old subordinate. Did they steal the Qilin Pendant just because it was the relic of Emperor Shengyuan?
“Isn’t he dead?”
Su Yemu later heard from the gangster boss that He Yunting split the starship in half, and the broken starship exploded, killing everyone inside.
“He’s not dead yet, he was lucky, but he is half dead, he’s been sleeping and hasn’t woken up.”
Originally, this matter could be handed over to General Heka, but He Yunting wanted to find out what secrets this Qilin Pendant had, which made the Exile Corps not afraid of being exposed in order to snatch it, and why Marshal Wanqi, who was far away in the Milky Way, cared so much about this pendant.
“Be careful when you go on the mission,” Su Yemu said, “It’s okay for me to stay in the Imperial Capital!”
Xiaonan was here, so Su Yemu didn’t want to leave, he was still thinking about buying a house in the Imperial Capital! Living with He Yunting all the time was not a problem.
“The situation in the Imperial Capital is too complicated. If I’m not here, I would be worried about you being here alone.”
“Since the situation in the Imperial Capital is complicated, will Xiaonan be okay here?”
“With the principal of the Royal Academy and Master Reis there, nothing will happen.”
As long as Xiaonan stayed in the academy and didn’t come out casually, nothing would happen to her; He Yunting was worried about Su Yemu because Su Yemu was too close to him, and those who wanted to bring him down would know that Su Yemu was his weakness, after just a simple check.
“How long will you be gone?”
“Almost half a month, and at the latest a month.”
There were complex emotions in his deep eyes. Su Yemu didn’t know why his heartbeat accelerated when he saw it. He turned his face away and calmed down. Su Yemu then said “hmm”, which was considered as an agreement.
