Chapter 392 Troubled Times

The guests outside the banquet hall were surprised and stunned.

It was true that when Hongkawa Kaede's mother and son saw the bright dog coming from Genji, they were a little confused at first, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.

After nodding slightly in the wrong direction, Kazuko seemed to suddenly remember something.

With a faint smile on her face, she nodded in the wrong direction in return.

"Sister, sister, deny him!" Masahide Tozawa, who was standing by her side, felt that it was a bit embarrassing to keep his mouth shut.

To the east of the Crown Prince's Palace, the future Licking Emperor, how could he appear there?

Although he used to be a follower behind Akihito when he was a child, but since they entered different schools and his father passed away.

He never had much interaction with the crown prince again. After so many years, the childhood events have long been forgotten.

Tozawa Masamune was very unaware that Akihito came to Hongkawa Kaede's wedding for his own reasons.

If it’s not because of yourself, then who is it?

Tozawa Masamune looked at his sister, and then at Hongkawa Kaede who was standing calmly with Akihito, feeling a little confused for a moment.

But what about Bu Sheng? Tomorrow we will meet the crown prince’s palace master Na Juecuo. It will be an unexpected surprise.

Sure enough, it was the right decision to shamelessly and uninvited him, otherwise he would regret it later and commit seppuku.

Rubbing his legs, Tozawa Masamune was already secretly thinking about how to flatter him later.

The Akihito couple who suddenly arrived over there, after greeting everyone, also took the microphone and said a few words at Tamori's invitation.

As a representative of the royal family, he has participated in countless events, so he can speak without any pressure when speaking about the occasion.

First of all, I would like to wish Hongchuan Kaede and Tanaka Yuko a happy wedding, and especially praise the bride alone.

"Tanaka-san's Ashin spirit is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is also the perfect embodiment of the resilience of Neon people.

I hope that your sincerity and kindness will continue to inspire everyone in the future. I also wish that we can spend a happy life together every year."

Hearing someone from the royal family praising herself in front of so many people, Tanaka Yuko was a little excited and a little emotional.

While thanking him repeatedly, tears burst out uncontrollably.

Hongchuan Feng patted her back gently, then took out her leggings and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

He could understand why Tanaka Yuko had such a big reaction. She was not unaware of all the rumors in the newspapers during that time.

Those sarcastic comments about Hongchuan Feng as an artist also hurt her deeply.

Although it seems that there is no feeling on the surface, how could there be no external pressure at all?

In addition, her mood fluctuated greatly after her pregnancy, and now that she was being encouraged by someone of high status, she could not control her external grievances and cried like rain.

But the future Empress Michiko, upon seeing this, held her leg considerately and comforted her softly.

Her mistake was that Yuko Tanaka could empathize with her at this time, because she was under greater pressure when she married Akihito.

As the first civilian queen of the royal family, she received far more criticism than imagined.

After tomorrow, no one will discuss the identity of Yuko Tanaka.

If the future licking royal couple personally approves, shouldn't they be blocked in those people's mouths?

Hongchuan Feng gratefully nodded to Akihito to thank him. He didn't know whether the mistake was intentional or not.

But that simple sentence can stop everyone talking in the future.

This alone deserves Hongchuan Feng’s sincere thanks.

Akihito, who was holding the microphone, did not only wish the wrong couple.

He also praised Hongchuan Electric for its contribution to the neon economy and encouraged everyone present to actively promote the development of neon.

After saying a few words, Akihito and his wife bowed and thanked them amidst a round of applause and then retreated.

Jie Donglai Fouta Moli and the others took over and began to host Hongchuan Feng's wedding.

Different from the solemn atmosphere of traditional weddings, the atmosphere of Western-style wedding banquets is much more lively.

First, Professor Yamada, who served as the witness, recited a congratulatory speech, then the bride and groom congratulated each other and then exchanged rings.

What I wore that time was a real diamond ring, not a red rope clasp in front of me.

While everyone was lively watching the wedding process of the newlyweds, Akihito and his wife came to the table where Hongchuan Kaede's parents were sitting.

"Hezi, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you still have the same style."

The smiling Akihito didn't wait for them to stand up, and gently pressed his legs to indicate that there was no need to be formal.

Kazuko, who was wearing a kimono, smiled and nodded slightly. "Akihito-san hasn't changed at all. Are you being very cruel to my fish now?"

Akihito burst into laughter upon hearing this.

He is well-known in the circle for his love of studying fish.

During Xia Club gatherings in the past, he would often drag Chinese children and playmates with him to explain how rare his newly caught fish were.

When Akihito heard Kazuko mention that incident, he couldn't help but think of various scenes from decades ago before his eyes.

They each exchanged pleasantries and introduced the people around them to the wrong party.

Benikawa Hayato was also a little surprised that his wife met the current crown prince.

But was it just a surprise? He had known Kazuko's identity for a long time. He also knew that with her past identity, it was not surprising to know anyone.

Otherwise, how could he completely trust her choices regarding her son's studies?

Tozawa Masamune, who was standing next to him, wanted to chat with Akihito for a few words, but the latter seemed to have completely forgotten about him and had no impression at all.

He wanted to have an awkward chat, but with an understatement glance from Kazuko, he immediately shut up.

His sister is easy to talk to, but he is afraid of the nephew who has no relatives.

Akihito and his wife chatted with Benikawa Hayato and his wife for a while, and when they saw Benikawa Kaede and his wife coming over who had already completed the wedding process, Akihito also stood up and prepared to leave.

It was already rare to have an impromptu visit tomorrow. Since the wedding was over, it was time for him to leave.

Given their status, they were not allowed to stay there for a long time, and the wedding banquet after the wedding ceremony was not planned.

"Wakko, if you have free time in the future, you might as well go to the Imperial Courtyard with Hongchuan-san, or go to the Xia Kaiguan.

As I get older, I don’t even have the chance to chat with anyone I know well, so I just happened to talk to Michiko about interesting things outside.”

The title of Crown Prince sounds nice, but in fact he is bound by rules everywhere outside the palace.

Michiko has been tortured for so many years, and even suffered from mental illness.

Akihito also hopes that there are outside friends who can guide her and make her more cheerful.

Wrong at his invitation, Kazuko smiled and nodded, "He will go when he has time."

Although he agreed verbally, Fu and Zi Minghong probably would rarely come to Tokyo in the future.

Compared with the prosperity in the eyes of outsiders, the peaceful confinement in Xiaolu is more relaxing.

Akihito and his wife stood up and greeted them again before leaving the banquet. Naturally, they couldn't help but exchange a few words with several distinguished guests before leaving.

Just like when they arrived, Hongchuan Feng still sent them off personally.

"Hongchuan, can he call me that?" Akihito slowed down as he walked to the door.

"Of course, it's up to you." Hongchuan Feng nodded humbly.

Since he and his mother are not old friends, they can also be regarded as his elders.

Regardless of his royal status, he should be treated with respect.

"You can build your own business without resorting to any external force. There is no doubt that you are capable of making the right choice."

Akihito motioned to his entourage to wait for a moment. He wanted to have a few words with Hongchuan Kaede alone.

"I heard that I am not only a famous company like Hongchuan Electric, but also a company that can independently design chips?"

Hong Chuanfeng's heart moved. If he remembered correctly, he had mentioned similar words when they first met.

Although Bu Nao felt strange, he still nodded calmly.

"Thanks for your concern, there is indeed such a club. Because it started late, its current scale is still not worth mentioning."

"Chips," Akihito nodded with sigh, "are the shining core of future technological civilization. My boldness in entering that field shows my vision and courage."

"You're praising me ridiculously. Hongchuan doesn't deserve that kind of praise."

Akihito waved his legs to show that he didn't have to be polite.

"Originally, he shouldn't be involved in that matter. But since we have encountered it, we might as well say a few more words."

Sure enough, Hongchuan Feng knew that things would not be that simple.

"Hongchuan, have I heard of VLSI Technology Research Institute?" Akihito's first question made Hongchuan Feng feel nervous.
