The island nation's annual masked ball is designed for single men and women with status.

It can be said that this is a feast for wealthy families, and it can also be called a marriage for the purpose of pie, because many single men and women will find their other partner at this ball.

Although Mai Lì has only been in the island country for just over half a year, she has successfully become a member of the upper class society with her medical skills and communication skills.

As soon as night fell, Mai Lì drove Ling Qing, who had come over reluctantly, to the outside of the Imperial Castle.

Located in the heart of the city, the castle was built by His Majesty the King on purpose.

Outside the castle was a high and dense forest, and every fifty steps, there were royal guards standing guard with guns, and when they arrived at the designated parking space at the gate, Mai Lì parked the car and pulled Ling Qingyu out of the car.

There were also heavily guarded royal guards at the entrance of the castle, and Mai Lì took Ling Qingyu's arm and handed the invitation card in his hand to the guard.

After verifying the authenticity of the invitation card, the guard handed out two masks to Mai Lì and Ling Qingyu.

"From the moment we step through the gate, we have to put on our masks and we can't take them off until we come out!" Mai lì told Ling Qingyu about the rules here.

Ling Qingyu issued a black wolf-shaped mask, and with his black dress tonight, he looked particularly masculine.

At night, the castle looks majestic and mysterious, and the majestic architecture is breathtaking.

The castle is eight storeys high, and the last rays of sunlight reflect on the dark glass outside the castle, which looks very magnificent.

"That princess-to-be is really happy, His Majesty the King actually built such a large gorgeous castle for her in the city, I heard that there are hundreds of servants here!" Mai lì couldn't help but sigh, every woman probably wants to be a happy woman like the quasi-princess!

Ling Qingyu had no interest in other people's happiness at all, and if Yue Yue hadn't asked him to come over for entertainment, he would rather sleep than come to this boring masked ball.

Mai Lì glanced at Ling Qingyu, his resolute jaw, beautiful curved thin lips, and mature and steady temperament all told him of perfection.

She sighed silently.

Fortunately, he wore a mask, otherwise, I don't know how many women would be attracted by his appearance-

Entering the castle, the royal swagger immediately came to his face.

The extraordinarily high ceiling hall, the gilded roof, and the dazzling crystal chandeliers make people come in, as if they are in the European Middle Ages.

In the extraordinarily luxurious hall, men and women dressed in fine costumes and masks were staggered, chatting and laughing in elegant manners.

Before the dance party started, Ling Qingyu didn't like this atmosphere very much, and after saying a word to Mai Lì, he took a glass of champagne and walked towards the huā garden behind the castle.

Ling Qingyu walked to a carefully crafted lake, he sat on the swing, looked at the bright stars in the sky, and sighed slightly. Champagne.

Xiaobei, are you okay in heaven?

You've been gone for thirty or eighty days, and I miss you so much!

Just when Ling Qingyu was immersed in the pain of missing Tong Xiaobei, suddenly, a scream came.

"Ahh

said it was a scream, but the woman's voice was very soft and moving.

Ling Qingyu withdrew his dark eyes looking at the sky, he squinted and looked towards the lake.

I saw a naked woman, holding her hands on her chest behind her back, although he didn't turn his head, he could feel that she was frightened.

"Excuse me!" He didn't expect that it was so late, and there were women bathing in the lake, so he quickly got up and prepared to leave.

"Miss, are you done swimming? The dance is about to begin-" A maid ran over with a bathrobe, and when she saw Ling Qingyu, she was startled, and then her face changed greatly, "Who are you?" How dare you peek at our young lady taking a shower? "If Her Majesty knew about it, she would definitely be put to death!

"Vivian, he didn't mean to, let him go!" The woman, who had been facing away from Ling Qingyu, said in a soft voice.

Ling Qingyu frowned, for some reason, when he heard this woman speak, there would always be an inexplicable feeling in his chest.

Her voice is somewhat similar to the lover in his heart, but it is not exactly the same, and it is a little softer and more beautiful than Xiaobei's voice.

Being able to bathe in the lake and be served by a servant, it was not difficult for Ling Qingyu to guess the identity of this woman.

It should be the mistress of this castle, the quasi-princess in Mai Lì's mouth!

After Ling Qingyu left, Vivian walked up to the young woman and whispered, "Miss, if Your Majesty knew that you were being peeked at by other men, he would definitely punish me severely-"

"I won't tell Brother Sùyi, besides, that man didn't see me taking a bath just now, he kept looking at the sky, and when he looked at me, I had already turned my back, and he saw my back at most."

"Miss, you can't see your back!"

"Don't forget, Vivian, the dress I'll wear later is backless."

"If Your Majesty learns that Miss is wearing a dress with a backless appearance, she will be very angry, Miss, you better change your dress, right?"

"No, I think that backless dress is beautiful."

Vivian couldn't say anything about her, just pouted and nodded, "Okay, I hope Your Majesty won't be jealous." ”

Vivian was her handmaid, two or three years younger than her, and the only one in the castle who was not afraid of her and was not afraid of her.

Of course, this is also because she reprimanded Vivian many times before she dared to show her true character, otherwise, Vivian would be like other servants, and she would be respectful when she saw her, as if she was a flood beast.

Not long after Ling Qingyu returned to the glorious banquet hall on the golden wall, the bright lights suddenly dimmed.

Then, a white spotlight hit the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

The men and women in the hall who were talking were all silent, and they couldn't help but look towards the stairs.

What catches my eye is a slender figure wearing a white shoulderless tulle evening dress, a well-tailored dress, which outlines the curve of her chest just right, not particularly proud, but with a feminine gentleness and subtlety, and the chest is inlaid with diamond stars, shining brightly, reflecting her Shengxue's skin, which is as crystal clear as jade.

The white dress has a skirt like a wave, and the folds are layered and undulating with the pace, giving people a sense of artistic conception of lotus step by step.

The long maroon hair with a slightly curly head fell on the side of her shoulders, and her face, which could not see the facial features, wore a delicate golden mask, although it was impossible to see her appearance, but the noble elegance and pure elegance that she exuded from her body made everyone marvel.

As if she had become accustomed to the sight of everyone bowing and worshiping, she stepped on seven-inch crystal high heels and walked down the stairs elegantly.

She opened her lips slightly, and her voice was as pleasant as a yellow warbler out of the valley, "Welcome everyone to our island country's annual mask ball, tonight is the best one, I will give her/him this set of jewelry designed by His Majesty." ”

She wore a white gold necklace set with diamonds, earrings, and bracelets, which I heard had been designed for her by the king himself, and were worth a lot of money.

The celebrities and beauties present were all excited when they heard it.

The large wall clock on the wall shows eight o'clock, and the orchestra conductor in one corner of the hall slashes his baton high, and the melodious dance music begins to resound throughout the hall.

Several men came over and invited Mai Lì to dance, but Mai Lì refused one by one.

She looked at Ling Qingyu, who was as stiff as a stone sculpture and had been looking at the princess-to-be, and gently shook his arm, "Ah Leng, what's wrong with you?" You don't want to invite the princess-to-be to dance, do you? You must not have such thoughts, I have heard that the king is very strict with the princess-to-be, and does not allow her to say a word to other men, although there are many men at the ball who want to invite the princess-to-be to dance, but none of them dare to step forward-" He said, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I heard that not long ago, the princess-to-be went out to dinner with her maid, and a man accosted the princess-to-be, and then the man was "mai lì made a gesture to wipe his neck."

Ling Qingyu was still staring at the slender white figure without blinking, although he couldn't see her face clearly, the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling.

Why, he felt that she was inexplicably familiar?

"Mai lì, what's her name?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm supposed to be called Easy!"

Ice?

Ling Qingyu's pupils widened sharply, and his tall body, because he was too shocked, took two steps back.

"What's her name?" He asked again with a trembling voice.

"O Ice! Ah Leng, what's wrong with you, is it possible that you still know her? Seeing Ling Qingyu stiff like a stone carving, Mai Lì was puzzled.

Ling Qingyu's thin lips trembled.

- Hey, uncle, my big name is Easy, my little name is Nannan, you must remember my name! The next time you see me, don't pretend you don't know me!

Years ago, the memories he thought he had forgotten began to flood back into his mind.

The little little dot who always surrounds him like a fart worm, the little guy who looks exactly the same as Xiaobei, the little guy who makes him feel like his first love, will it be the current princess-to-be?

But

Didn't she fall to the bottom of the cliff a long time ago and be swallowed by the flames?

Could it be that she did not die, but survived, and then fell in love with the king of this island nation again?

Ling Qingyu's mind was suddenly in chaos.

The calm heart lake also set off waves.

Seeing Ling Qingyu's tall body, Mai Lì slowly walked towards the princess-to-be, she hurriedly grabbed him, "Ah Leng, you can't invite the princess-to-be to dance-"

Before he finished speaking, he was thrown away by Ling Qingyu.

Watching him walk straight towards the princess-to-be, she sighed silently.

Estie sat on the sofa, drinking red wine elegantly, while looking at the handsome men and women dancing in the banquet hall with a smile on the corner of her lips.

In her beautiful eyes, a touch of gloom quietly crossed it.

This time, there shouldn't be any men who will take the initiative to invite her to dance, right?
