Life is like a play, it all depends on acting

Chapter 89Chapter 89 Diary: Dance partner trouble.

The social ball held by the emperor of country C in the palace can be said to be the most watched high-class ball in the world. Once a year, this is also the only opportunity in the world to get in touch with the oldest and most mysterious royal family of country C.In some years, the ball will still be closed, such as when a member of the royal family dies.

The selection rules for the invitation list of the palace social ball are very strict. In the past, the selection range was limited to the prostitutes of the big family in country C. Later, the rules were gradually changed and the selection range was expanded, but at the same time, the selection rules were also restricted. become more stringent.

So much so that it has evolved into the fact that the celebrities who can be invited to participate today must not only come from a famous family with a long history, but also require that the family must be rich and have great power in this world. It must also have a prominent position in the clan, a pure bloodline, a tall talent with both talent and appearance, and there must be no scandals that are too negative.It can be said that being invited to the ball is a kind of affirmation of the celebrity itself, and it is also the capital that many people are proud of.

Celebrities in country C and even the world have been preparing for it since they were very young, eager to appear in it.

Dressed in the most gorgeous top-level custom-made clothes, and holding a male companion who is also of extraordinary background and handsome appearance, under the watchful eyes of the world's major media giants, famous families and celebrities from all over the world, accompanied by the introduction of his brilliant background, he slowly walked from the shop floor to the shop floor. Walk down the red velvet steps, and dance for the queen in the oldest and most splendid palace in the world.

Queen?Yes, empress, the one who has firmly secured the throne in country C for decades is a noble woman full of wisdom and elegance.

Although the scope of selection has now expanded from the big families of country C to famous families from all over the world, among the 24 ladies who can receive invitations every year, most of them are from countries C.No matter how many outstanding ladies want to step into the social circle of high society that year, the royal family will only insist on choosing 24 people.And sometimes when there are not enough candidates, the royal family will even invite only a few qualified ladies based on the idea of ​​"rather queer than indiscriminate".

The most typical example is that one year, the daughter of the patriarch's most beloved mistress in a family whose ancestors were once princes deliberately caused one of the invited ladies to fall down the stairs in order to attend the ball, and missed the ball.She thought that in this way she would be able to top, but the royal family didn't even mention the matter, and just changed the 24 seats into 23.

In any case, under the national conditions of country C, children born out of wedlock cannot have the same status as children born in wedlock.

This is a rule that has been established long ago. Some people say that children born out of wedlock are also very pitiful, and it is not that they want to be born with such a disreputable identity, but even if the general environment is like this, some people still want to take risks. Giving birth to an illegitimate child, willing to be a mistress, once the illegitimate child is allowed to have the same legal status as a legitimate child, there is no telling what will happen.

Qi Qian thinks that this can be summed up simply as if there is no business, there is no killing, and the child of the third child cannot get the legal inheritance right, so naturally there will not be so many people who are rushing to "love" and don't care whether the other party has a wife or children. up.

Because of this, Qi Bixia spent a lot of trouble on the issue of recognizing Qi Qian.

Fortunately, Qi Bixia didn't have a wife at that time, and the identity of Qi Qian's son-in-law was affirmed through the joint efforts of the Bai and Qi families. Qi Bixia also had a deceased person whom he had no memory of at all in his marriage history. Qi Qian's "biological mother", but after all, the procedures were done later, Qi Bixia was afraid that something would be insecure, that's why he insisted on the prenuptial agreement so much later.

Thanks to Qi Bixia's thorough consideration at the beginning, Qi Qian was invited by the royal family today with the coming-of-age ceremony.

In the beginning, the male companions of famous ladies at social dances were actually just embellishments of famous ladies. They only had requirements for appearance and identity. In recent years, they gradually moved closer to disciples of aristocratic families who had just stepped into the social circle. Generally, children who had already participated in social seasons were not considered. of.

Gradually, the status of children of aristocratic families and ladies and ladies gradually became the same. The previous 24 quotas for women have also become 24 quotas, regardless of gender.

And after Qi Qian was selected this year, he got another very novel invitation. In addition to the quota of ten witnesses that could be invited before, this year there was an additional quota for choosing a dance partner independently.In the early days when only celebrities who had just entered the social circle were invited, the dancing partner was designated by the royal family. Later, 24 places were allocated to men and women, and 12 pairs of dancing partners were formed internally. Now it is possible to appoint a dancing partner independently, which is actually a disguised form. Increase the number of invitations.

If the 24 people all invite other people, it will become 48 people, directly doubled.

Qi Qian's invitation this time was affirmed by the royal family with great fanfare, and he had received the attention of the major media early on. After he got the news that he could invite a woman, it even created a magical scene of boiling the whole country. Countless girls are fantasizing that they can become this lucky one who has no door barriers, invited by Qi Qian, to attend the ball in the palace.

But how could the ball held by the royal family really have no door barrier requirements? At least in the attachment of the invitation letter Qi Qian received, there were minimum requirements on the appearance, gender and age of his dance partner.

"Why must one man and one woman dance? Obviously the royal family also agrees with the same-sex marriage law." Qi Qian complained holding the attachment and New Year's Eve. The most suitable candidate in his mind was naturally New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, the gender is not suitable, and the age seems to be too old. doesn't quite meet the requirements...

"The identity does not meet the requirements." New Year's Eve added.

No matter how powerful the Pei family is, it is no longer the serious Pei surnamed family many years ago. At least the royal family will not publicly express their importance to the Hengyao organization with some black and shady nature.As the benchmark of the country, the royal family seems to be hidden, but their every move still affects the whole body. Don’t you see that the queen’s preference for purple has always been the classic color that the fashion circle has surpassed black and white in recent years.

In the end, Qi Qian extended an invitation to Cake, and this was the only dance partner he knew who met the requirements and he liked very much.

Cake was pleased to be invited. Although her two fathers are also celebrities, it is a pity that their fortunes only started in their generation, and they did not meet the requirements of "famous family". I dared to hope that I could really participate one day, and I didn't even dare to tell my fathers, for fear of making them sad.

But... "Why do I feel that judging from the requirements in the attachment, the royal family is actually implying that you invite Princess Xinyang?"

Princess Xinyang can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the royal family of country C. Against the background that the entire royal family is hidden and low-key, she is famous all over the world, not to mention her reputation is not very good.

Among these reputations, first of all, she is an illegitimate daughter.

Insisting on orthodoxy is the empress' unswerving rebellion for so many years. Whoever commits the crime will die. The concubine who claimed to be a descendant of the prince who caused the trouble at the beginning insisted not to let her take the place to attend the ball. It was the empress's personal insistence. .Since she was a child, she had had enough of being bullied by her father's mistress and concubine's children, until she endured it to the top, she directly refused to recognize the legitimacy of those people, and drove them out of the palace from the flamboyant royal clan to the end , and taboo anyone to mention in front of her that they are also the flesh and blood of the former emperor.

And the existence of this Princess Xinyang is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the queen, because of the old prince whose relationship with the queen has been hot and cold all the time.The incident involved a previous romantic affair of the prince. What everyone knows is not very clear. We only know that the current princess is the second wife of the prince, and Princess Xinyang is the second wife's child, but her age But it is a little older than the grandson of the emperor's grandson born to the prince's original spouse.

But just like Qi Qian's status as a legitimate son can be active, the identity of Princess Xinyang has also been recognized because of the "struggle" between the prince and the queen for many years, which can be seen from her title of princess.

But the Queen's compromise condition is that Princess Xinyang is not allowed to attend the royal social ball when she was an adult... Because of her bad reputation, except for the reputation of illegitimate children, she is considered a real princess. People who play tricks are evil, if it is not for the sake of the prince, no one will pay attention to her.

Last year, Princess Xinyang became an adult, but the Queen was firm in her original terms with the prince. Even if the prince knelt outside the palace gate, she did not let go of the invitation to Princess Xinyang.

In fact, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, this is the same as not acknowledging the identity of Princess Xinyang, even if she has an official name.

Therefore, the prince who loves daughters eagerly can't stand the obsession with his mistress and daughter, so he makes another note, hoping that Qi Qian, who will be the first to appear this year, invite Princess Xinyang to be his dance partner, but Princess Xinyang is not too happy, thinking that Qi Qian "is just an actor!".In the attachment, the prince is not easy to say clearly, he can only hint.In the end...Qi Qian, who really came from an alien, could not understand the hints, since he was asked to choose, then he really chose.

In fact, even if Qi Qian knew, he would not choose according to the prince's wishes. Aliens also have the pride of aliens. What he hates the most is when people he doesn't know order him and coerce him to do this or that.He had to choose someone other than Princess Xinyang.

"What, are you scared?" Qi Qian asked the cake.

Compared with Princess Xinyang, who only has the name of a princess but is actually like a shrew, Cake, who is more like a real princess since she was a child, raised her proud head like a white swan: "Afraid? Just kidding! The government wants to respect my father As for artificial intelligence, I am afraid of a little concubine of the royal family? Whether the prince can succeed the queen is still in the middle of the numbers."

Compared with the prince who has shown enough stupid IQ in terms of personal feelings, he is excellent in all aspects. He will attend the social dance with Qi Qian this year, and the grandson of the emperor who will appear as the finale is even more favored by the outside world.

And Qi Qian chose the cake, and slapped Princess Xinyang in the face, causing the grandson to narrow his eyes with a smile: "The candidate you recommended is awesome, it's worth it. , That idiot in Xinyang has been smashing things for days, haha, I must make friends with Qi Qian if I have the chance."
