Chapter 285 Fun Facts about the Banquet
Before Prince Ritter walked in, Chi Lili knew who the visitor was from the patient's information.
So when she saw the person she had seen on the live broadcast screen yesterday push the door and come in, she was not surprised at all, but just said in a businesslike manner: "Please take a seat."
Since the treatment methods of therapists are different from those of ordinary doctors, the layout of their consulting rooms is also somewhat different from that of ordinary hospital consulting rooms. There are no serious desks inside, only a set of soft and comfortable sofas, allowing patients to sit face to face with the therapist and receive treatment in a relaxing environment.
Prince Ritter was a man who looked a little silent and melancholy. He was tall but thin. He stood straight at the door, a bit like a clothesline. A set of gorgeous clothes was hung on the pole, but it was a little empty inside.
He has the standard imperial royal look, with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and handsome features.
It can be seen that he is not very old, and his appearance is between that of an adult and a teenager, with a slight childishness.
Chi Lili had carefully read the patient's information before the other person came in. She knew that the other person was not only the same age as her, but also more than a month younger than her. If he was in the Empire, he would be an adult, but if he was in the Federation, he would be a minor.
So did the Empire send him here because they thought people of the same age would be easier to get close to?
"Are you going to start treatment?"
Seeing that Chi Lili didn't move, Ritter took the initiative to extend his hand in front of her.
His hands were beautiful, with distinct joints and long fingers, but just like him, they were too thin.
"No need." Chi Lili refused physical contact with the other party and only used her mental power to contact Ritter's spiritual sea. Once the two spirits touched, Chi Lili frowned slightly.
This Tenth Prince of the Empire had never received any mental treatment before. His mental sea was so violent, as if several hurricanes were raging inside at the same time. Most people in this situation would have gone crazy or died from a mental outburst, but he could still sit in front of her as if nothing had happened. Chi Lili couldn't help but sigh at the man's strong willpower.
Now Chi Lili understood why the other party, who only had an A-level mental power, insisted on asking her to treat him. It was really that ordinary A-level therapists were simply helpless against him, and even S-level therapists found it difficult to treat him. Only a therapist like Chi Lili who had reached double S levels could heal the other party's chaotic mental sea by crossing two levels.
"Relax, don't have any resistance..."
While comforting the patient, Chi Lili treated him patiently. Her mental power was like gentle and warm currents, enveloping the raging hurricanes in the other person's spiritual sea and calming them down, turning the violent hurricane into a breeze without any threat, which gradually dissipated.
During this process, Chi Lili's mind was highly concentrated, and she did not dare to relax at all. However, Ritter, who was receiving treatment, felt very comfortable. The relaxation that he had not felt for a long time made him empty his mind and he almost fell asleep.
Fortunately, the treatment ended before he really fell asleep.
"Okay. Next time please don't wait so long before going to see a therapist, otherwise the problems will continue to accumulate and a minor illness will turn into a major one." Chi Lili advised seriously.
In fact, mental turmoil is the same as general illness. It is not so serious at the beginning. As long as it is treated by a therapist in time, there will not be any big problem. But once it is delayed for too long without treatment, the mental turmoil will become more and more serious until it is completely out of control.
Chi Lili didn't know why the Tenth Prince had put himself in this state, but based on professional ethics, she felt that she still needed to tell him this.
"I know, thank you."
Ritter nodded and stood up, bowed slightly to Chi Lili, as if making an invitation, and asked: "Excuse me, can I invite you to lunch?"
"Sorry, I can't." Chi Lili refused directly.
"Okay, then we'll see you at dinner." Ritter, who was ruthlessly rejected, did not feel depressed at all. He just said goodbye to Chi Lili politely and left.
After he left, Chi Lili glanced at the computer screen that was still displaying the patient's files and found that there were no more patients with appointments in the morning. Ritter was the last one. After finishing his treatment, it was Chi Lili's lunch break.
No wonder the other party invited her to have dinner together. It turned out that he had calculated the time. Unfortunately, Chi Lili didn't want to waste her precious rest time on unimportant people.
Her lunch had already been delivered to her by a robot from the cafeteria. The delivery robot had not left yet and was waiting in the corner, waiting for Chi Lili to go over and take the food from the incubator in its belly. It still stayed there, but the words on the screen above its head changed from [Please take the meal] to [Please put in the empty tableware].
It turns out that this food delivery robot is not only responsible for delivering food, but also for recycling tableware.
The meals provided to Chi Lili in the cafeteria included meat, vegetarian and staple foods, as well as a glass of freshly squeezed juice, which was quite nutritious.
Chi Lili only took ten minutes to finish her lunch. She put the empty tableware back into the robot's belly and watched it leave. Then she immediately turned around and lay on the sofa bed, which had automatically transformed from a sofa into a bed. She covered herself with a blanket and took a nap.
She had twenty minutes until her next patient's appointment, so she could take a nap.
Although Chi Lili is very eager and would like to practice and study even when she sleeps, she also knows the principle of combining work and rest, and she will not hesitate to rest when it is time.
The lunch break was short, but it still gave Chi Lili some energy so she wouldn't feel sleepy when working in the afternoon.
At 5:57, Chi Lili sent the last patient away and left work early.
She had to go back and change into formal clothes, dress up a little, and then get in the car that came to pick her up to go to the banquet venue.
In formal international occasions, Chi Lili would naturally wear the military uniform prescribed by her military rank. This is her most formal dress.
Her hair was neatly tied up, and she looked heroic, as if she was about to go to the battlefield at any moment, making the roommates who were watching her couldn't help but surround her and exclaim "Wow wow wow".
"So handsome."
"I want to wear a military uniform in the future."
"I can wear it after I graduate and join the army."
"I mean wearing Li Li's clothes."
"Then you have to work hard."
Chi Lili is now a lieutenant colonel. If Chen Xixing wants to wear a military uniform like hers, the distance she needs to go from graduation to promotion to lieutenant colonel is not short. After all, even Chi Lili took several years to reach this point.
But it's a good thing that her roommates are ambitious, so she encourages them generously.
The optical computer on my wrist vibrated, indicating that there was information.
Chi Lili took a look and saw that it was a message from General Huo. He said that he had arrived at the gate of her school and told her to go out.
Although Chi Lili was invited to the state banquet not because of Admiral Huo, they are now a legally engaged couple, so it is normal for them to attend such occasions hand in hand. The key point is to make a gesture to those people in the empire so that they don't always have some unrealistic fantasies.
Huo Zhuoyan's car has always been the same one. Chi Lili has ridden in it several times and can recognize it at a glance.
As soon as she walked over, the vehicle's intelligent system sensed a familiar passenger and automatically opened the door to welcome Chi Lili in.
Chi Lili sat in the car, and before she had time to say hello to Huo Zhuoyan, a golden dragon came in front of her and stared at her silently.
"Chi Li." Knowing who the other party was looking for, Chi Lili kindly helped to call out the spirit beast that was sleeping in her spiritual sea.
Maybe the surrounding environment was too familiar, the spirit beast called out by the host did not wake up, but still slept with its eyes closed. Seeing this, the golden dragon leaned over, coiled its slender body around the sleeping little koi, and took her to the back seat to nestle.
Lying in the familiar embrace, Chi Li slept even more deeply.
Not only was the host busy with work today, Chi Lili was also not idle. She had been helping the host recover his mental strength while receiving treatment. Otherwise, with such high-intensity work and facing mostly patients of higher levels, Chi Lili alone would not be able to endure it.
Considering that the host had things to do at night, Chi Li could only get a little tired and do more work. So as soon as the host got off work, Chi Li tiredly plunged into the host's spiritual sea and fell into a deep sleep.
Chi Li was summoned from the sea of consciousness in her sleep and had her hand passed through. She felt it, but she was too familiar with the existence of the person who took over her, so she didn't struggle at all.
The spirit beasts ran to huddle together. Chi Lili and Huo Zhuoyan, who were used to it, didn't react much. One of them drove while the other habitually picked up his light computer to take online classes, racing against time to accumulate credits.
Just as Chi Lili was immersed in the content of the online class, she suddenly heard Huo Zhuoyan ask her: "Did the tenth prince of the empire come to see you today?"
"Yes, I'm here for treatment."
It was not surprising that the other party knew about this. After all, ever since the imperial delegation set foot on federal soil, every move of their members would be closely watched. So if someone approached Chi Lili on purpose, it would inevitably arouse vigilance and be reported to Huo Zhuoyan.
In addition to being Chi Lili's fiancé, Huo Zhuoyan is also the first commander of the Federation. When he is in the capital planet, he is responsible for the guarding of the entire capital planet.
"We are already engaged, but they seem to show no intention of giving up." Chi Lili said worriedly.
Recalling the previous experience of being hit by a scam, she really doesn't want to go through it again. It's not that she can't handle it, it's just that it's very annoying and affects her normal pace of life.
Chi Lili agreed to get engaged to Huo Zhuoyue just to use him as a shield, but if this shield is useless, she doesn't know what the point of this engagement is.
"After all, we are only engaged and not officially married yet. They may think there is still an opportunity." Huo Zhuoyan's tone was comforting: "At least ordinary people will not bother you anymore. It's just that the two princes have special identities. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to stop them."
"I know." So she was just complaining verbally and had no intention of canceling the engagement.
Just as Huo Zhuoyan said, after the two got engaged, due to his majesty, no one dared to come in front of Chi Lili, which really made her feel a lot more at peace. The two princes of the empire were born into the royal family. Even if they were not favored, they were still members of the royal family. They would not be easily threatened by a foreign general and give up an object that could bring huge benefits.
If any of them could marry Chi Lili, they could use her status as a double S-level healer to improve their status in the royal family. They could also rely on Chi Lili's abilities to make friends with a group of high-spirited bosses. They might even get support from some high-level officials and become a strong contender for the next crown prince of the empire.
This is the real benefit that Chi Lili can bring.
After learning that the empire was targeting her this time, Chi Lili also went to find out about the situation on the empire's side.
It is known that the empire has not yet established a crown prince. Even though they already have more than a dozen adult princes and princesses, and their children are growing up, the king of the empire has no intention of appointing a crown prince. As a result, the princes and princesses all think they have a chance to become the crown prince, and they fight fiercely.
The Empire is actually the same as the Federation, with monogamy. Even the king is the same. He only has one queen. Then why does their royal family have so many princes and princesses? Is it because the queen is particularly fertile?
Of course not.
The main reason lies with the king himself. He is a very romantic man. In addition to the queen, he has several lovers. The children born to him by these lovers are all recognized by the royal family, and the mothers of some of these children are of noble birth, so with the support of their respective families, their children are also strong contenders for the throne.
Princes of this kind of background naturally did not need to be sent thousands of miles to seduce a double S-level healer of commoner origin. Therefore, just as Chi Lili had learned before, the two princes who were sent here were both people whose mothers were of humble birth and who were not favored by the king.
It is said that the biological mother of the third prince, Woliflam Ocheeno, was just a maid in the imperial palace, while the biological mother of the tenth prince, Ritter Ocheeno, was a woman born into a poor noble family.
It seems that the status of the tenth prince is a little more noble than that of the third prince, but unfortunately his biological mother's family has long been defeated and is not even as good as an ordinary civilian family. In fact, it is not much different from the third prince.
Chi Lili originally read these materials with Chi Li, and as they flipped through them they became spectators, reading with great gusto while also lamenting how chaotic your entertainment industry is.
Chi Lili had no ambition to marry into the royal family, so she declined the offer. It was such a messy place, and she felt like she would be plotted against and skinned alive if she went in. It was too scary, so it was better to stay away from it.
The car drove all the way to a majestic building with heavy security. Chi Lili recognized it as the Federal Capital Auditorium.
At this time, the auditorium was heavily guarded inside and outside. Every guest entering and leaving, regardless of their identity, had to undergo strict security checks, even Huo Zhuoyan and Chi Lili were no exception.
The two parked the vehicle at the designated location and got out to cooperate with the guards at the gate to check. After the inspection, the guards saluted them and said, "Report, inspection completed, confirmed to be safe."
"Well, hard work."
Huo Zhuoyan nodded politely to the guard, then took Chi Lili into the auditorium.
At this time, the interior of the auditorium had been decorated magnificently, and people coming and going were politicians from all walks of life, military leaders, and foreign embassies.
They were originally scattered everywhere, either entertaining guests or talking in private. When two figures with a very strong presence appeared at the door, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to them.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Huo Zhuoyan and Chi Lili entered calmly, and then greeted the first person who came forward to say hello politely. Both sides showed their perfect social etiquette.
There was a sound of approaching footsteps. Chi Lili raised her eyes and saw the imperial delegation coming towards her.
Leading the charge were their two princes.
Chi Lili had met the Tenth Prince this morning, but this was the first time she saw the Third Prince in person.
Although the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince differ by seven ranks, the age difference between them is not that big, only five years. The young man, who is only twenty-four this year, is handsome, tall and strong, and still has the classic appearance of the imperial royal family, with blond hair and blue eyes.
The most eye-catching of his facial features is his deep eyes. The shimmering light in his pupils always gives people a feeling of deep affection when he looks at people, as if you are his only one.
Now, these eyes were ignoring her fiancé standing next to her and were fixed directly on her.
Chi Lili: “…”
These imperial people are really more daring than each other.
It would have been fine if the younger brother went to see her for treatment and asked her out without telling anyone, but the older brother actually danced directly in front of Huo Zhuoyan and dared to seduce his fiancée in front of him. Did he treat him as dead?
Even though the two of them were engaged in cooperation, Chi Lili didn't think Huo Zhuoyan could tolerate such a public humiliation.
Sure enough, Admiral Huo's face darkened, and his aura was so gloomy and fierce that it was almost impossible to breathe. The people around him were so scared that they stepped back involuntarily, clearing a vacuum zone in an attempt to stay away from the range of his anger.
As the main target, the third prince rolled his eyes and fainted.
Obviously, no one expected that the third prince, who looked tall and mighty, was actually so weak. With just a little mental pressure, Huo Zhuoyan frightened the man unconscious without even using his full strength.
The person involved was stunned for a moment, and the pressure was temporarily put away, then instantly retracted.
He could feel the hand that was holding his arm trembling slightly. He didn't need to look down to know that his little fiancée was trying not to laugh.
"I usually don't laugh." Chi Lili tried her best to suppress the curve of her lips, telling herself that this was a very serious occasion and she shouldn't laugh casually, but she still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Huo Zhuoyan asked considerately.
It means letting her go and laugh enough before coming back.
"No need." Chi Lili immediately put on a serious expression and pretended that she had not been laughing just now.
In fact, she was not laughing at the fainting of the Third Prince, but at Huo Zhuoyan's confused expression at that moment. Really, it is difficult to see such an expression on his face, so it is so funny when you accidentally see it.
However, there was no need to explain to Huo Zhuoyan the real reason why she was giggling.
The third prince's fainting caused a small commotion, but the situation was quickly stabilized under the calm handling of the on-site staff.
The fainted Third Prince was carried away and sent to the lounge. He just fainted because he couldn't bear the mental pressure of Huo Zhuoyan. He was not injured, so there was no need for special treatment. He just needed to be placed in a place to let him wake up naturally.
However, to be on the safe side, the federal government still sent a doctor to check it out.
This was just a minor incident, and was quickly ignored by a group of smart people. The people on the Federation side could not blame their admiral, and the people on the Empire side felt guilty. After all, it was indeed immoral for their own prince to seduce someone else's fiancée in public. Even if they originally intended to let one of the two princes find a way to poach Admiral Huo, wouldn't such a thing have to be done secretly? How could they open their faces and open up in front of the main person? So they deserved to be taught a lesson, and they had no face to blame him. They only felt that the third prince had brought shame to their empire.
Secondly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the main reason the Third Prince fainted was that he was too weak.
The Tenth Prince clearly has an S-level mental power, but his performance is not as good as that of an A-level mental power. Even Admiral Huo wanted to give you a warning at the beginning and did not use his full strength. How could you still faint? Aren't you a weakling?
Although the empire and the federation have different national systems, due to long-term external pressure, they are also full of martial virtues from top to bottom, extremely worship the strong, and do not look down on the weak.
Therefore, they were even more ashamed to mention this moment, feeling that the Third Prince's performance was really shameful. They were unwilling to mention him again, so they followed the wishes of those people in the Federation and just ignored it.
However, they would definitely have to protest to the Federal President on behalf of His Majesty the King afterwards. If they could take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits, then their Third Prince's actions would not have been in vain.
Unfortunately, the Federation took a strong stance and directly refuted their argument, even saying that it was because their Third Prince was too weak and it had nothing to do with Admiral Huo. There were also C-level mental staff members at the scene at the time, so how come they didn’t faint?
Your third prince has S-level mental power.
These words left the Empire speechless, and in the end they could only vent their anger on the Third Prince, blaming him for bringing shame to the Empire.
However, this incident also made the king of the empire realize that except for a few of his children, the rest had been raised in the palace since childhood and had never been out to experience life, so they were too fragile and could not withstand the slightest wind and rain.
So in order to correct this, he later sent all his adult children to the army for training, so that they could grow and develop through hard work. But that’s a story for later, so let’s not talk about it for now.
Except for a small accident at the beginning, the banquet went smoothly afterwards.
As the protagonist who caused the accident, Chi Lili was not disturbed much throughout the whole process. After all, the previous experience was there, and General Huo was guarding her the whole time, so who would dare to provoke her?
This allowed Chi Lili to spend a quiet banquet. When it was over, her deepest impression of the state banquet was that the dishes were delicious, worthy of being made by a national-level chef.
The subsequent reception of the Imperial delegation was not within Chi Lili's responsibility. The Federation would only find ways to separate them and would not take the initiative to let Chi Lili get close to them. So, logically speaking, she should have nothing to do with those people in the Imperial delegation.
However, when Chi Lili was seeing guests from the imperial delegation almost every time during the next few days, she knew she was wrong.
These people are really determined. They have been rejected by her so many times, openly and secretly, but they still don't give up. (End of this chapter)
