Chapter 5 Bitter Mouth
The Loran Empire was founded three hundred years ago, and three hundred years ago it was formerly known as the Kingdom of Narte. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe kingdom of Narte is powerful and rich, ruled by a generation of queen Ariel for decades. To this day, her great achievements are still circulated. During this time, the daughter of Ari abdicated and was succeeded by her eldest prince. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated in just a few years, and the country was in turmoil and complaints were everywhere. With the passage of time, a country rises and a country declines. Eventually, the Lorrain Empire was established as its capital. They followed the Naert way of rule, and women ruled the country.
The empire has gone through three generations of queens, and the generation of Rodia is the heyday of the Lorrain Empire. There is no other reason, Rodia loves the people like a son. He is keen to form alliances with neighboring powers and never takes the initiative to create conflicts with other countries. Although she is not warlike, no one wants to occupy a single cent of her own land. What makes her most gratified is that she gave birth to this eldest princess Lindsay, and the country has her for a day, so she doesn't have to worry about foreign invasion at all.
In the imperial city, in addition to the queen and the beauties of her harem, lived in it. Only the heirs to the throne were eligible to live in the palace, and the queen's other children lived outside the imperial city, and many were sent to various fiefdoms to administer the major towns.
Today, the Imperial City was very busy, and they were preparing for the evening celebration banquet. The imperial chefs are busy and sweating like rain to cook delicious dishes.
The ladies marched to the banquet hall with plates of well-prepared delicacies and wines, and while they were busy, they were all talking about this victory.
The inner hall of the Radiant Palace is full of mist. This is the palace where Lindsay lives, and the female officials come and go, busy and happy. The huge bath is steaming. There is a natural hot spring in the mountain behind the palace, which has been renovated to bring hot water into the palace. Of course, only the palace where the Queen, the Prince and Lindsey lived could be enjoyed separately.
The three of Lindsay's personal female officers surrounded Lindsay, and Penny, a slightly chubby, curly-haired brown officer, sprinkled rose petals into the hot water. The blonde, tall female officer, Jia Na, pours wine for Lindsay in a flask. And the last female official, Bei Wei, who was also the female official of the Radiance Palace, brought in exquisite bottles and cans.
Lindsay frowned and put the wine glass down, "Belle, what are you holding in your hand?!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, these are all sesame oils. Her Majesty sent some of them, some of which we went out to buy. Come, smell and see which one you like, and we'll apply it all over for you in a moment. ”
Lindsay was embarrassed and hurriedly waved his hand: "Take it, I hate these things!"
"But Your Highness Princess, today is a celebration banquet for you. It's our duty to dress you up beautifully! You are a pearl of our Luolan Empire, let them know that our Royal Highness the princess is an iron-blooded god of war on the battlefield, and when she is not on the battlefield, she is also a beauty who captivates the country and the city!" Penny said yes, and the other two ladies nodded in unison.
The three female officers gathered together to select the sesame oil, and they opened each bottle to smell it. Choose what you like and let the ruler choose. Lindsay held a wine glass and looked at the three female officials who were chattering non-stop. Did these three little girls listen to her words?! They all said no!
"Your Royal Highness, this one tastes very good. That's it, get up, we'll rub your body and massage your whole body by the way!" Bevi took the sesame oil she picked out and looked at Lindsay with a smile.
Normally, Bei Wei decides what to do, and the thunder can't move. According to her words, everything she does is for the good of the eldest princess, and if the eldest princess disagrees, then she will say until the princess agrees. All in all, Lindsay had to rely on Belle after several unsuccessful protests. Think about it, if a person has a serious face and has all kinds of irrefutable reasons, and keeps saying in your ear, a few times is enough to bear. However, thanks to Bei Wei's presence, her Radiant Palace is managed by her in an orderly manner.
The three of them wiped Lindsay's body, and then let Lindsay lie on the blanket they had prepared: "Your Royal Highness, you have been gone for three years. When you go, you don't say anything and let us follow, look, the muscles in your shoulders and legs are very stiff all year round! We're going to give you a good massage, and if you're tired, you can get some sleep~!"
You can't hide...... Lindsay replied softly. Under the skillful techniques of the three female officials, she was a little drowsy......
I don't know how long later, Lindsay opened her sleepy eyes under the gentle call of the female officers. She sat up and shook her head and limbs. I can't help but admire the pure techniques of these three female officials...... In the past three years, her spirit and body have been tense all the time, and she has not dared to relax at all. I came back, and my heart was half steady.
Let the female officer smear on her face, and wear jewelry and gifts one by one. Lindsay had been sitting for most of the day, and she frowned. Without waiting for her to speak, Bevi first blocked Lindsay's mouth with words.
"Your Highness~ These are necessary. This time, it is the important ministers who came, as the pillars of the Luolan Empire, they must be decent. Bei Wei's eyes rolled and said, "These jewels are not as heavy as your battle armor Your Highness!"
"......" Lindsay's mouth was half open, and she was annoyed in her heart. These female officials are becoming more and more lawless by her! I didn't say anything, waiting for her.
Bei Wei and the two female officers couldn't help but speed up their makeup, and the three of them knew Lindsay very well. As it dragged on, Lindsay ran out of patience and lost his temper.
As night fell, the Lorraine Empire ended its daytime hustle and bustle, and the entire city fell silent. The difference was that there was a lot of excitement in the Imperial City, and Rhodia was sitting in the main seat of the banquet hall, and she was talking to the ministers around her. Next to the queen sits Prince Sanstu, and on the right sits Lindsay, you can imagine how important Lindsay's identity is in the eyes of the queen.
The beauties of the Rodia's harem sat on either side of them, surrounded by important ministers and their families. It can be said that the royal family and nobles have arrived. Not for anything else, but for Lindsay. Looking at Lindsay, he drank wine with a look of lack of interest, and had to deal with the ministers who came to toast. A word of praise was heard in Lindsay's ears.
She had been beaten from the moment she entered the banquet hall, and she was subjected to several fiery stares. With the efforts of the three female officials, Lindsay was dressed up beautifully and abnormally, with a touch of heroism between her eyebrows, purple eyeshadow outlined her phoenix eyes, she was wearing a red and black dress with a bandeau chest, whether it was a forehead ornament, earrings or even a necklace ring around her neck, all of which were dominated by rubies. At this moment, Lindsay is like a blooming fiery red rose.
Sitting below Lindsay sat his sister, who was not as well-dressed as Lindsay. Lindsay, bored, began to look at the ministers present, and to be honest, she really hated this kind of entertainment. In comparison, she would rather sleep beautifully until three o'clock in the morning, and then go to the barracks to have a few drinks with several generals and adjutant generals.
These people in front of me have fake smiles and behave very contrived. Although their purpose was to celebrate, everyone knew that this was a good opportunity to express themselves. Listen to what a large area of land that count acquired. Whoever whose children have contributed to the country, and how many precious gems the lady has bought, all come.
Compare and take the relationship. In fact, it is the main purpose of these people, but it's okay...... With her Lindsay, no one dares to think about it. The belligerent Lindsay, whom they admire, the bloodthirsty Lindsay makes them chill.
Once, there was one patriarch who was quite domineering. At the banquet, he spoke disrespectfully to the royal family, and no one was in his eyes. The patriarch relied on himself to make great contributions to the important ministers of Loraine, and when he was older, he began to enrich his own pockets and scourge one side. Queen Rodia turned a blind eye to the minister's previous contributions to the country, as long as it wasn't too excessive.
Who would have thought that the minister regarded this gratitude as connivance, and became more and more unscrupulous. In the end, Lindsay couldn't bear it anymore and showed him everything he had done in public and killed him on the spot. He destroyed the patriarch and turned over all his belongings to the treasury. At that time, this old minister had already caused public complaints, and after being killed by Lindsay, everyone was happy.
Lindsay yawned boredly, wondering if it was better to find a reason to leave. Without waiting for her to speak, Modi, who was sitting next to her, suddenly said to Rodia: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Prince~ This time, the Kingdom of Ralun not only sent a letter of surrender, but also sent compensation... and one person. ”
"Oh?" Rodia looked at her little daughter curiously: "Modi, report it~"
"The compensation sent this time, five boxes of gold coins, calculated nearly 10 million. Two boxes of precious stones, 100 horses of cattle and sheep...... A divine horse, this divine horse is the white shadow that His Majesty the Prince has been thinking about~"
"What? The white shadow of the divine horse is actually in Lun?!" It is difficult for Sang Situ to hide his surprise, everyone knows that the prince is Sang Situ, who is not good at fighting for fame and fortune, and it is not easy to compete for favor. Usually by the queen's side, the only pleasure is a good horse.
Seeing that Sanstu was so happy, Queen Rodia patted Sanstu's hand: "Modi, can this divine horse white shadow cut love?"
"Of course, this tribute is already waiting outside the banquet hall, and the white shadow has been sent to His Majesty's Mansion!" As soon as Modi recruited, the herald cleverly called loudly: "Messenger, Raolun messenger!"
The envoy walked into the banquet hall with a loud voice, and the envoy was a short, sturdy middle-aged man. He was followed by a tall man, covered in a veil that made it impossible to see his face. They walked to the center of the banquet hall and stood still, and a short middle-aged man hurriedly saluted: "Tigger, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Raolun, has seen Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Prince, and His Royal Highness the God of War......
"Well, there's no need to be polite. Tigger ...... This one next to you?" Rodia asked quizzically, looking at the people standing next to Tigger.
"This is the fifth prince of my Raolun Kingdom, Otis, His Majesty the King will present the prince of Otis to His Majesty the Queen." With that, Tigger said respectfully again.
Modi pursed his lips: "It's so tightly covered, isn't it possible that your incompetent king sent a prince with a strange ugly face?" In front of so many royal families in my Luolan Empire, what kind of system is it to hide it!" With a bang, Modi slapped the armrest of the seat viciously.
Being yelled at by Modi like this, Tigger's body hit a spirit. At this moment, Otis, who was standing beside him, removed the veil to reveal his face. The noisy banquet hall fell silent the moment he removed the veil. Then there was an incredible exclamation, and the queen Rodia, who had read countless people, also looked at Otis incredulously: "God...... It's beautiful!"
Otis has long wavy blond hair, and a pair of apricot eyes with purple pupils under his sword eyebrows. The bridge of the nose is erect, and the two thin lips are full and hydrated. His skin was fair, and he was expressionless in full view of everyone.
Ois took a breath and saluted the queen and princes: "Odis see the queen and the prince. Otis lifted his face to look at Modi, who was looking at him distractedly, and then turned his gaze to Lindsay beside her. This is the legendary god of war? When I heard about the deeds of this iron-blooded god of war of the Luolan Empire from other people's mouths, I thought that this god of war should be an ugly woman with a tiger's back and a fleshy face. I didn't expect it to be ...... So glamorous...... It's hard to imagine that such a woman can fight on the battlefield......
Rodia looked at Lindsay and Otis and smiled slightly: "Since the king of the Raolun Kingdom is so sincere, good, very good!" This gift is really special, and the king is very satisfied. Well, you can step down! Otis yes, come forward. Rodia waved his hand, and Odis walked up to Rodia: "This king will reward you to me Loraine God of War!"
Lindsay, who was drinking, listened, and her face turned from red to white, from white to black, and she looked embarrassed. She got up and even overturned the low table in front of her. The food bottle flipped to the ground: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this!?" Why are you stuffing it for me?! If you like it, you can stay by yourself, I don't need anything in the palace!"
Seeing that the god of war was furious, everyone didn't dare to take a breath, and the noisy banquet hall fell silent. Even the musicians stopped playing and looked at Lindsay and the Queen in horror.
"Lindsay, you've come home with a big win. This king has not rewarded you yet, besides, you are the god of war of my Luolan Empire, the pillar of the country. He is also the first heir to my throne, and there is no man in your palace to serve now, how can this be done!!"
Lindsay took a few deep breaths, left her seat and walked over to Rhodia and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, if you really want to reward me. Then, please give me the order to guard the border!"
Rodia frowned unhappily, and looked at his daughter with a headache: "What kind of system is this, you returned with a great victory, and this king not only rewarded you but also ordered you to guard the border?" People who don't know still think that you have made some big mistake and have been sent to the border! This matter is not negotiable. ”
"Her Majesty!" Lindsay also wants to argue with his arguments and get out of the huge cage. However, Prince Sanstu, who couldn't stand it from the sidelines, opened his mouth and lobbied: "Lindsey ~ Her Majesty the Queen is reasonable. If you think about it, it doesn't make sense that you have just returned from victory and were sent out to guard the border pass. Moreover, the border pass is now guarded by Marshal Drew. Doesn't your visit make people feel that Marshal Drew is incompetent? It's hard to block the mouth of Youyou!"
Modi on the side was expressionless, and his eyes sank. And Edith, the Duke of Lorraine, who was beside Modi, had a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The wine in the glass is even more fragrant.
It can be seen that the prince's words shook Lindsay's heart. She gritted her silver teeth and finally accepted the fact: "Lindsey obeys!"
Rodia had a smile on her face. With a raised hand, he ordered: "Send someone to send Otis to the princess's mansion!"
Tigger and Otis bowed to the Queen and Lindsey before exiting the ballroom, and the musicians continued to play, changing the tension from the previous one. The banquet hall was full of enthusiasm again, and the singing and dancing leveled down. The banquet lasted until late at night, and Lindsay rubbed her aching forehead. She said goodbye to Rodia and Sanstu, and the horses on them departed.
