......

Tokyo at the end of November, the autumn scenery is pleasant.

In the afternoon, the autumn wind brings the soft sunshine into the living room of Shanyingyuan, with a hint of refreshing warmth, making people feel very comfortable.

Akane, wearing a plain kimono, was very nervous and wanted to see from time to time if there was no flatness or wrinkles.

Since Naoyama Naoki talked to her about the dinner, Akana seemed to have encountered a big deal. She carefully asked the etiquette teacher of the office for inquiries, and then found her own kimono for ironing. She was even more serious than the Red and White Song Club.

And before we went there today, we were still very nervously taking care of our clothes.

"Akina.... Relax, it's okay~"

Naoki Naoyama said beside him,

"There will be many people at that time, no one will pay attention!"

After looking at my wife's solemn, beautiful and exquisite look after putting on a kimono, I thought I should let Aicai wear more in the future~

"But in such a solemn occasion, a little bit of rudeness will be remembered!"

But Akane didn't dare to relax at all. After all, it was a diplomatic dinner and the guests were all well-known people.

"Everyone will pay attention to Prince Naruhito and Princess Erena of Spain~" Nagayama Nagaki comforted, "The others are foils, just like green leaves..."

Although her husband said this, Akane was still very nervous because she went out this time in the name of the Yongshan couple. If she was rude, she would lose face from the Yongshan family.

Moreover, Akane, who debuted as an idol artist, has a very low background, so she is naturally a little timid when she goes to such an upper-class banquet.

"What are you talking about with the families of senior officials then... What if I can't speak?!"

After getting into the bus, Akana was still asking Naoki Naoyama.

"It's okay to talk about popular clothing with younger people and music..." Naoyama Nagaki said casually, "The older people generally don't have any topics with young women, just exchange a few greetings."

"If you really want to start a topic..."

Naoki Naoyama looked at Akana,

"It just so happened that Xia Hua had just been born, so just ask them about their children.

Older women may have nothing to talk about in other aspects, but most of them will not refuse to teach their parents’ education to young mothers.”

"How do you know so much, Naokisan?" Akana looked at her husband curiously.

"Because I've seen so much!"

In fact, it is the experience gained from the Internet. Generally speaking, women's circles are divided into those who have not given birth to children and those who have given birth to children. Those who have not given birth may talk about various things, but after giving birth, there is only one topic to talk about~

And even mothers who don’t know each other can soon get together.

"Hongdoni?" Akane felt disbelief.

"What's the point of lying to you~" Naoyama Naoki was helpless, "Akira, think about it yourself. When chatting with others, are they all babies~"

".........No, there are records, song costumes, itineraries..." Akana recalled.

"The staff in the firm are not counted, chat with friends!"

"...Well...and Naoki Mulberry!" Akina said, "I often talk about Naoki Mulberry!"

“…”

Naoyama Naoki couldn't speak for a moment and held Akana's hand tightly~

Toda Toda, who was driving, couldn't tell what his expression was... Every day, I was so tired of it!

......

The banquet venue is located in the East Palace Imperial Hall, which is a royal site in the Harbour District.

This is a back-to-the-go Western-style garden with a pond as the center, which is specially designed for the crown prince to live and work. It is also called Chunyuan. The Eastern Palace Imperial Hall is generally not open to ordinary people.

It covers a large area, has a large yard, and has good greening...Most of the houses are bungalows, which look very low...

"I feel that it's not as beautiful as the Red Fish Garden~"

Akina came here for the first time, and walked out of the Ichikashi (parking room) and whispered in Naoyama Naoki's arm.

"It is probably to show the grandeur of the royal family, so there is no need to use exquisite decoration~"

Naoki Naoyama also replied in a low voice.

In fact, it may be because the Neon Royal Family has a limited budget, so it is impossible to build a too luxurious courtyard.

It is said that the Japanese royal family is the poorest royal family in the world. Because they have no private property, the royal family's salary depends entirely on government funding, and most of it is required to be used in various activities related to the image of the country, palace maintenance and diplomatic activities, etc.

The entire royal family only has about 200 million to 300 million royal family living expenses every year, and there is not much left to each member, which is similar to the middle class~

Moreover, due to the so-called "royal dignity", members of the royal family do not have household registration, cannot sign labor contracts, accept advertisements, and receive sponsorships... Hahaha, fame cannot be changed!

But this is only on the surface. In private, as the highest member of the feudal aristocrat, the royal family must have gray income, but they cannot be used in the construction of places like imperial courts.

At the reception of the East Palace Imperial Office, Naoyama Naoki and Akina Naoyama signed their names on the Yoshimi Directory and then walked into the East Palace Imperial Office.

On the left side of the Imperial Office is the living room conversation room, and on the right is the large canteen, which is usually separated by a screen. However, today the entire space is opened. After the restaurant is decorated with small snacks and drinks, you can directly see the courtyard outside the floor-to-ceiling window. There are already many people chatting in the courtyard outside the window.

“It’s no different from a normal party ~”

Nagayama Nagaki and Akina Nakamori looked at the banquet and felt that it was similar to some ordinary parties, except that the guests were all suits and ties, while women were either kimonos or dresses.

Anyway, it's just formal ~

Everyone was talking and laughing in this social place, and didn’t have much time to pay attention to the new guests... Even Naoyama Naoki and Akina were celebrities, after coming here, they did not receive much attention except for the security guards at the door.

Just as the two young couples were looking at each other, a greeting came from not far away:

"Natural Mura!"

Naoyama Naoki looked back and saw that he had seen it before, Sadao Kiba from the Ministry of Culture and Culture!

I saw Sadakiba walking over a few steps:

"Naoki Sang, you have been invited here too!"

"Yes..." Naochi Nagayama smiled, "I feel very fresh when I was invited to a diplomatic banquet for the first time!"

"Hahaha, it's just like an ordinary banquet, just meet and chat with acquaintances." Sadao Kiba said in a low voice, "The main difference is that the prince will appear in front of the media and take a few photos... for the sake of the national image~"

"Haha, it's very vivid~"

Naoyama Naoki nodded and introduced Akane next to her:

"Kiba Sang, this is an insider... Akina Nagayama."

"Ah, Akanam! There is probably no one who doesn't know the whole Neon!" Sadana Kiba smiled and greeted Akana, "First meeting~"

"First meeting..." Akana bowed seriously and asked, then stood beside Naoki Naoyama, with a proper and warm smile...

"Didn't Kiba Sang bring a female companion?"

"They went to the wife's circle to talk~" Sadana Kiba said, "It's in the inner room..."

After saying that, I was keenly aware of Akina Naga's restraint:

"Ah...Aki Nao Sang is here for the first time, I don't know anyone..."

"Hi... This is the first time I've been to a diplomatic banquet."

"That's it... Then let my wife come and introduce others to you!" Sadana Kiba enthusiastically led the Nagayama couple into it, "She is a very enthusiastic person~"

In fact, in this social place, Naoyama Nagashi's wife has no acquaintances. Her wife introduced Naoyama Akina into her circle, so he and Naoyama Naoyama naturally became a group.

Nagayama Naoki is a famous writer, a famous international director, and very rich... This is also a very high-quality connection for Sadara Kiba!

Soon, in the wife's circle in the inner room, Sadao Kiba invited his wife out.

"This is Naoki Naoyama and Akina Naoyama... You should be very familiar with it..." Sadao Kiba said to his wife with a smile, and then said to Naoyama Naoyama, "Naoki San, this is an introvert Keiko Kiba... She likes watching Naoki San's movies very much!"

"First meeting!" X3

Keiko Kiba, who was also wearing a dignified kimono, looked at the couple in surprise:

"I didn't expect that Yongshan Sang and Akina Sang were invited to this banquet..."

"It's our first time here..."

Sadana Kiba said to his wife:

"Since Yongshansang and the others are newcomers, then we old people should actively integrate into them~

Keiko, I will take Naokisang to meet an acquaintance. I will trouble you when I meet Akirasang!"

Keiko Kiba instantly understood her husband's hint and nodded with a smile:

"Hi, I will introduce my friends to Akane more!"

"Aligado~" Naoki Naoyama also responded with a smile.

At this moment, a woman in a patterned kimono walked out of the inner room, and she walked directly towards Naoyama Naoki:

"Isn't this Naoki Mulberry?!"

"Ikeba Sang... Sashi ignored..." Naoki Naoyama greeted in surprise, "You are also at the banquet!"
