All the dried fish in the empire belong to Princess Elvis

The moment he entered the door, Xia Mu had already recognized the man's identity.

Facing a strange adult Dihera, the oppression and trembling she felt subconsciously was irresistible.

That pair of purple pupils staring straight at her made Xia Mu both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was the clear and pure color, but what was strange was his eyes, which were not kind.

Undoubtedly, His Majesty is a species that is not angry and arrogant. In addition, he is full of repulsion towards the girl in front of him from the bottom of his heart. No matter how he pretends to be kind, he will be hostile.

Xia Mu felt that the hair all over his body was standing on end, but he still had to remain calm.

Recalling the king's standard etiquette in her mind, she took a stiff step back with her right foot, which was offset from her left foot. She squatted slightly, nodded and said, "Good afternoon, Your Majesty."

The man walked to the long table with his hands behind his back, his scrutinizing eyes always fell on her, his expression was arrogant and indifferent, finally he opened the back of the chair expressionlessly, and gestured "Please sit down" to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu didn't dare to ask questions first, so she could only obediently sit at the table, lowered her head, and her mind was spinning like a windmill——

Why did His Majesty specially summon her in private?

dress?

He must have found that expensive dress, and now he wants her to pay it back?

Before she could figure it out, Duan Qingze sat down at the table opposite her, pointed to the huge gift box on the coffee table not far away, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you will like it."

There was no joy or anger in this tone, Xia Mu was taken aback, raised his head slightly, looked at the man with a handsome face in embarrassment, and summoned up the courage to explain: "I planned to prepare the dress myself, but..."

"You don't have to worry about it." Duan Qingze looked down at her, "I think it was Tongtong who invited you on his own initiative to solve the problem of attendance for you, and it should be taken for granted. It belongs to you now."

Xia Mu couldn't refute the king's words, so he could only nod his head and answer: "Thank you."

Duan Qingze leaned back slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and began to get to the point: "Of course, I asked you out. Besides giving you a dress, there are other things. I want to make it clear to you in person. Say, something more important than the dress, can you guess what it is?"

Xia Mu raised his head, his eyes blank.

Duan Qingze chuckled, and said lightly: "It seems that your parents didn't convey my order well."

Xia Mu was a little nervous and opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

"Listen, little girl." Duan Qingze took a deep breath, "I'm not very good at communicating with children. I'm afraid that if I mention this to you face to face, it will make you feel disappointed. Unfortunately, it seems that no matter how I Even euphemistic conveyance can't make you understand what I mean, so now, please be mentally prepared."

Xia Mu tightly clenched his hands on his lap into fists, he already guessed what this man wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear him say it clearly.

Once he said it, it was an order and almost had the force of law, and she could no longer be ambiguous and let it be.

In the past month, when Juanjuan came back to her, life became simple and peaceful, so comfortable that she mistakenly thought it would last forever.

At this moment, as long as this man said a word, the friendship she had finally lost and regained could be torn apart and completely turned into a past called memories.

How can I accept it calmly?

"I hope our two families can keep a distance and not have too much contact in private." His tone was flat but unquestionable: "Including you and Tongtong."

Xia Mu seemed to have erected a wall for himself, as if he hadn't heard anything, and stared at him blankly.

The man looked at her for a moment, waiting for her response.

She was screaming to herself in her mind: "Nod, nod and agree!"

But what came out was, "Why?"

The man took a deep breath and looked at her with some doubts: "You don't know your parents' situation at all? I don't think this is possible. If you insist on me explaining, I will tell you clearly——

Because your parents didn't get rid of the crime.

My wife used amnesty on your parents.

You should be aware that excessive use of royal privileges is a disgraceful thing in the eyes of the public.

Our assistance to your parents stems entirely from my wife's confidence in your parents' character, not from any special friendship between our two families.

If my wife has a good relationship with your parents in private, or if you have a close relationship with our children, it may cause unfavorable public opinion to the royal family, or to our families. "

Xia Mu was silent for a while, and replied in a low voice: "I will clear my parents of their crimes, they were wronged."

Duan Qingze shrugged indifferently: "I'll wait and see."

Xia Mu could see that he wanted to end the conversation, so he had to stand up and nod respectfully to say goodbye: "Understood, Your Majesty."

Just as he turned around, he heard His Majesty's voice behind him: "Don't forget your dress."

Xia Mu stopped in his tracks without looking back, and replied in a erratic voice: "Do you want me to take the gown and break the appointment with His Highness?"

The other party did not respond.

Xia Mu turned around, her fair face was flushed with suppressed anger, she couldn't bear it and said tremblingly: "Your reason is very good, if I want to refute, I must clear my parents of the crime first, but please, I have Don't have the right to tell His Highness the real reason for my dishonesty?

I know that by doing this, you may just want to simply and rudely make His Highness feel that I am a bad person who does not keep his promise, and fundamentally destroy His Highness's goodwill towards me.

But don't you think this is cruel to His Highness?

To you, I am just the daughter of a sinner. My parents have enjoyed the amnesty of the royal family. It seems that I should suffer some grievances, but Your Highness is your child. Don't you have an obligation to let her know the truth?

Destroying the friendship between us again and again will not only make me feel guilty and regretful, but will also hurt His Highness very much. "

Duan Qingze gave a low laugh when he heard the words, and looked up at her sarcastically: "Excuse me, but you approach Tongtong purely out of friendship?"

Xia Mu narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and replied, "It's natural."

Duan Qingze smiled and shook his head: "If this is the case, I don't need to interfere too much."

Xia Mu's eyes revived.

Although she didn't know whether he was serious or joking, she still leaned over eagerly, leaning forward as if grabbing a life-saving straw, with her hands propped on the table, earnestly fighting for it: "It's true! Your Majesty, after I graduate, I will work in CGA, and It’s not the Royal Secret Service, it’s impossible to get promoted based on connections, I have absolutely no bad intentions, and I won’t ask for any privileges and damage His Highness’s reputation!”

There was a trace of fatigue in Duan Qingze's eyes, as if he had nothing to do with the little girl in front of him, so he could only reply perfunctorily: "I'm sorry, I think Tongtong's primary task at this stage is her studies. She has only passed the primary and intermediate assessments so far. The score of No.3 falls, the problem is very serious.

So in terms of playmates, I hope that it is best to go hand in hand with Tongtong and help each other.Simply hanging out, having parties, drinking, that will only drag Tong Tong down together. "

Drinking at a party?

Your Majesty is obviously mocking her for leading the Crown Prince badly.

Xia Mu lowered her eyes in a little embarrassment, and quickly searched her positive influence on His Royal Highness Egg Roll in her mind——

If you say "Your Highness learned to fly because of me", that would be putting money on your face.

But other than that, apart from secretly feeding pudding and making His Highness's bun face round again, she really didn't have any credit for it.

Wait... grades are serious?

Xia Mu noticed this, and his heart suddenly surged——

How could that proud genius cub have difficulty in grades?

Xia Mu raised his eyes and looked at His Majesty: "Your Highness is ranked No.3 in the intermediate assessment? Can such a result not pass the assessment?"

Duan Qingze felt heavy when he mentioned this matter, and answered frankly: "There are only five students in Balan Island, and the one ranked first has not passed the intermediate assessment, let alone No.3?"

Xia Mu was surprised: "Your Highness passed the preliminary examination ahead of schedule."

Duan Qingze: "Yes, Tongtong is the youngest junior student in the history of Balan Island, but this can't solve the problem. The content of the mid-level assessment is not exactly the same as that of the primary assessment. It is normal for the grades to fluctuate."

Xia Mu fell into a momentary trance, and after a while, her amber cat pupils seemed to be ignited by flames.

She straightened up with a solemn expression and a firm voice: "Your Majesty, if I can raise His Highness's grades to the first place, does that mean that I am a qualified good friend?"

As if hearing an extremely funny joke, Duan Qingze pressed his fist to his lips, couldn't help laughing, and raised his head to look at Xia Mu playfully: "You are energetic and dare to dream, you are even more ignorant than when I was young, I am afraid that even the most outstanding person on the island None of the trainers dare to say such arrogant words."

Xia Mu was not affected by his ridicule at all. She didn't have confidence in herself, but in Duan Zitong.

She didn't believe that the cub could only get a No. 3 result after working hard. It was not the lop rabbit in her mind.

The lop-eared rabbit in her heart is invincible. He is a genius cub who has single-handedly raised the cga branch's crime-solving level to the world's top level. It is impossible for him to rank No. 3.

There is only one possibility for her grades to decline—His Royal Highness Egg Roll is not focusing on her studies.

This is not a matter of ability, she is confident to turn the situation around.

Therefore, Xia Mu was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, I can suspend the internship and go to Balan Island with His Highness for special training, and promise to raise His Highness's ranking to No.1 within two months!

If the promise cannot be fulfilled, I will leave Your Highness immediately, never bother again, and promise not to reveal your past deeds. "

Duan Qingze looked a little surprised, was silent for a few seconds, and said with a dismissive smile: "Okay, this is what you said, and I will do as you want.

If you force me to personally intervene in this matter in the future, I won't be so polite. You are already an adult and you have to be responsible for your promises. "

Xia Mu raised his chin slightly: "I understand, but, Your Majesty, if you want to join this contest, you must at least pay some bargaining chips."

Duan Qingze smiled: "What promise do you want me to give you?"

Xia Mu replied word by word: "If I fulfill my promise, please, personally, explain to Your Highness——the reason why I didn't attend that birthday party."

Duan Qingze's eyes widened slightly.

Xia Mu clenched her fists, trembling slightly because of nervousness, fear, and even more because of her passion and ambition.

She resolutely asked for an answer: "Is it possible? Your Majesty."

There was silence in the private room.

After a while, Duan Qingze stood up, stretched out his right hand to Xia Mu, and replied calmly: "Deal."
