Chapter 56: The Order of Knighthood
The Du Fang family is deeply loved in the Fujia Kingdom, although this civil strife can be said to be caused by Jack, but its external cause is still caused by the small people of Fujia Country being bullied, although Jack's plan to strengthen the country failed, but personally, he played the role of a tragic hero. Therefore, the feelings of the Chinese people towards him are also very complicated, if it is not realistic to say that he is not to blame in the past, he will be punished heavily, and everyone is also related.
Catherine's sentence of "don't make trouble, uncle" is not only a reproach as a king, but also a coquettish attitude as a little girl, completely resolving the situation in the family conflict, Jack can see that Leaf has no problem with him, and he also expressed his attitude in his own way: From now on, he will always be the queen's prince and try his best to assist her.
We are outsiders, and we cannot understand this feeling after all, but the people of Fuga have already experienced the warmth and emotion, and the applause has been unprecedentedly warm.
Ye Zi smiled and walked up to the podium, suddenly looked at the first row where we were sitting, and said unexpectedly: "Next, please allow me to introduce a few warriors who have made great contributions to our country, they are from the distant eastern country, it can be said that without them, we would not have achieved victory so quickly, here, I would like to take the liberty of inviting them to accept the title of knight of our Fuga Kingdom - Mr. Nie Ping, I don't know if I have this honor?" ”
We all nodded and smiled, if we want to say that this time the contribution is great, it is indeed the first to recommend Nie Ping, moreover, Ye Zi is close to us, Nie Ping is a guest from afar, so she is the first to mention Nie Ping.
Nie Ping felt slightly cramped, got up and nodded at the audience, and said calmly: "I didn't do anything, so this title is unacceptable." ”
There was an uproar on the seat, Nie Ping just smiled apologetically and sat down again. Judging from the audience's reaction, this title is probably a great honor for the Fujia Kingdom, and ordinary people can't ask for it. However, I am not surprised at all, their gods are all so virtuous, and they are isolated from the group, so it would be strange if they accepted the honor of mankind.
Sun Manlou looked left and right in his seat, and asked a certain Fujia cabinet minister behind him: "What is the benefit of that knight's title?" ”
The minister said: "That is the supreme honor of our country!" ”
"Can you take the bus for free?"
Chancellor: "...... No. ”
"What about priority train tickets? Especially during the Spring Festival. ”
Chancellor: "...... There are no trains in our country. ”
"Can you get a discount at a nightclub? Can you get an interest-free loan? ”
The minister said depressedly: "Can't! ”
Sun Manlou pursed his lips and said, "That's a fart!" ”
Nie Ping refused to accept the seal, and Ye Zi didn't seem to be surprised, and at this time he had already turned to Sun Manlou and Gao Daquandao: "What about the two of you?" ”
At this time, someone came up with a tray, the gold in the plate was shining, it was a few knight medals, Sun Manlou just wanted to say no, when he saw the light in the plate, his eyes lit up again, he would be wearing a gold-threaded robe that someone had customized for him, Sun Manlou jumped on the stage with the corner of the robe, picked up two medals from the plate and waved at Gao Daquan: "Yours and I also received it for you." As he spoke, he jumped off the stage, put the medal on his teeth and bit it, and said with satisfaction, "Well, pure gold!" ”
Ye Zi smiled at me and said, "He Anyi ......"
A few of us were going to be talking about whether or not we should have this thing. Ah Po whispered: "This has nothing to do with nationality, right?" Don't ask for other people's things, and then become 'Chinese'. ”
The Minister of Finance behind us said, "No, the knighthood is a kind of recognition, and those who have made outstanding contributions to our country are eligible to receive it, and there have been precedents in the past for inviting foreigners to receive the title." ”
I said, "Then let's do it." ”
I led the way to the rostrum, followed by Ah Po Wushuang and Lin Ziwen, and a group of people came to the center of the stage in applause, shyly smiling at the camera, and applauding shyly, looking like an outstanding young man in the country. The leaf walked up to me, smiled meaningfully at me, and handed his hand over, which I caught with both hands and shook in the air...... Ye Zi laughed quietly: "Let you kiss the hand." ”
"Oh-" I hurriedly took her hand and nibbled it on my mouth, and Ah Po poked his head out of the queue and said, "Do you still have to kneel on one leg?" ”
Ye Zi smiled helplessly, and everything had to be simple, and when it was Xiaohui, Red Night Girl and Little Green, the audience applauded again, these were the only three "female knights" in Fuga's history.
I took the medal and looked at it, and I saw a shield with a circle of diamonds around it, and its physical value alone was staggering.
After the canonization ceremony, Ye Zi announced the start of the dinner at the Palace Square.
A few of us took advantage of this time to hurry back to the room to change clothes, just now we lost one person, this time we were secretly determined to save face, the suit was afraid that it was not straight, and the leather shoes were afraid that it would not be shiny, and as a result, we were dumbfounded when we went to the square: there were T-shirts, jeans and plaid shirts everywhere, and even the old king of Hongs only wore a vest with white flowers on a blue background...... It turns out that Fujia adheres to the romance and freedom of Western countries, except for occasions like just now, other times are very casual, especially this kind of open-air dinner, the dress is even more colorful.
Ah Po wore a hard-shell suit, looked at the people in front of him who were talking and laughing, and said entangledly: "Yes, I haven't caught up with this batch again." ”
I took out my sunglasses from my jacket pocket and put them on, and said coolly: "You go to accompany Xiaohui, I saw several men courteous to her." ”
"Huh?" Ah Po was taken aback and slipped into the crowd.
At this time, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I looked back to see that it was Ghosh, and I held my sunglasses and said, "Something?" ”
Ghosh seemed to have a hard time, and I couldn't say anything, but I smiled and said, "You can speak English." "At the beginning, the two of us had an awkward quarrel because of this, he said that he would never learn Chinese, and I said that I would never go abroad, and now I can't help but laugh when I think about it.
Ghosh said embarrassedly: "He Anyi, I treat you as my own, so I won't say kind words - although you are a guest here, I still want to ask you for a favor." ”
"What's the busy?"
Ghosh looked around and whispered: "I want to ask you to protect Catherine one more time, there are a lot of people in the palace today, and I am worried that someone will fish in troubled waters, after all, we are not completely safe now." ”
I had an epiphany and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave it to me." ”
Ghosh shook my hand vigorously and said, "I owe you a favor, and I will personally be your guide to accompany you all over the country tonight." ”
I punched into the crowd, and soon found Ye Zi's figure, she changed into a cotton half-sleeve, a pair of cropped pants, revealing two tender lotus calves, casually like the little sister next door who followed the second uncle out to camp, if she participated in this kind of banquet in other places, she would definitely dress up to attend, who would want her to be so casual in front of her subjects. The crowd around her seemed to be scattered, everyone was overjoyed to be able to talk to the queen, she casually talked and laughed with the people around her, but still couldn't hide the light as the protagonist, which made me deeply realize that this is her country, and she is the master of it.
I sneaked behind her in a low-key manner with my hands behind my back, Ye Zi turned around, covered his mouth and smiled: "He Anyi, are you wearing such a strict dress?" ”
I smiled a little: "Old rule, don't leave me more than three meters." ”
Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "When we first met, you were dressed like this. ”
Hanks and Reeve were on guard around the palace, and when they saw me reloaded, they seemed to remember the first time we met, and grimaced at me with a smile, and I noticed from a distance that the captain had deserted his post and followed the Red Night's ass.
On the top of the bell tower, a person with his knees overlooking the common people, that is the bitter demon, he is destined not to appear on such a happy occasion, so he can only be his lonely emperor.
I looked around, and there were many high-rise buildings in the palace, and the flow of people was bustling, and if there were really assassins, it was really impossible to guard against them.
Ye Zi saw me looking around, and said helplessly: "It must be Daddy Gash who asked you to protect me, don't worry, it must be safe here." ”
I'm noncommittal. Entrusted with the matter of loyalty, Fuga has not yet settled, even from a friend's point of view, I don't feel at ease to let Ye Zi stay alone.
By this time it was completely dark, the palace was brightly lit, with a variety of drinks and delicacies, and the celebration had changed from a banquet to a ball, with soft music playing.
Seeing that I was indifferent, Ye Zi suddenly took my arm and said, "Since you must follow me, then dance with me." ”
I was embarrassed and said, "I don't know much." ”
Ye Zi tucked one hand into my palm, and guided my other hand to find a position at her waist, winking at me and saying, "Don't think about it, it doesn't matter where you jump." ”
Can you not think about it again? The warm fragrant nephrite was thrown into my arms, and the hair between the leaves between my eyebrows and looking down made my mouth and nose itch, and at the same time I smelled a fragrant fragrance, and I could feel that the hand on her waist was always involuntarily going down, not that I wanted to grope the pig's hand, but that she had a just right curvature...... The queen took the lead, and everyone else walked onto the dance floor with their partners, which somewhat eased my embarrassment. But my steps were still stiff, and Ye Zi looked up and saw that the tip of my nose was sweating, and said, "Are you hot?" ”
I smiled: "No, it's because I'm nervous at the thought of being abroad and dancing with someone else's queen." ”
Ye Zi chuckled, let me hold it and sway, suddenly leaned his forehead lightly on my shoulder, and whispered, "Thank you, He Anyi." ”
I hummed and said, "You're welcome, but since you sent me a knight's medal, it seems like all you can say 'this is what I should do.'" ”
Ye Zi dodged my inevitable step on her, and laughed in a low voice, "You are full of magic except that you can't dance." ”
I was less nervous and said, "Generally speaking, we don't have a lot of interest in all adjectives that have 'God'. ”
Ye Ziwu muttered to himself: "You just came down from the sky to rescue me from the clock tower, and then used a rope to relieve the siege of the palace, and called many strange friends to let us win, sometimes you seem to live in another world." ”
I didn't know how to answer, so I could only keep silent.
She suddenly said: "There is a question that I have not been able to figure out! ”
I smiled wryly, "It seems that there is more than one problem. ”
Ye Zi continued: "Remember the time I was injured in the orphanage? ”
I nodded.
"It was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon when I gave out chocolates to the kids, and I was injured at that time."
"yes, what's wrong?"
"In terms of distance, it would take at least an hour's drive from the orphanage to the hospital I went to later, and it would have to be a green light for the traffic to flow all the way."
I knew it wasn't good......
Sure enough, Ye Zi said: "I was in a coma at the time, but when I asked the dean later, he said that it was less than 1:10 when I was sent there, that is to say, it took me less than 10 minutes to travel from the orphanage to the hospital!" She stared into my eyes and said word by word, "He Anyi, shouldn't you tell me something?" ”
