Chapter 38: The Engagement Ceremony (Part II)
The engagement ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner under Ye Chen's arrangement, but there was only one thing that made him very irritable, that is, the flute that sounded regularly every day, as long as the flute sounded, all the elves would stop working and listen quietly, Ye Chen couldn't interrupt yet, once he interrupted, he would be anxious with you, so he could only wait obediently for them to listen to the flute. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fortunately, after listening to the flute, the elves' enthusiasm for work was extremely high, and the speed of doing things was beyond Ye Chen's expectations, and the preparation for the engagement ceremony, which I thought would take four or five days to complete, is now expected to take only three days to complete, but judging from the performance of these elves, Ye Chen felt more and more that this flute was not simple, and these elves looked like addicts.
Ye Chen is not the only one who is preparing for the engagement ceremony, everyone except Hulim is helping, but Ye Chen is the commander-in-chief and is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, so the bored Hulim wanted to go to his fiancΓ©e to exchange feelings, but unfortunately when he came to the Elf Palace, he was told that Princess Alice had gone out, and no one knew where he was going.
Hulim frowned and thought for a while, thanked the palace maid and turned to walk outside, he knew where Princess Alice had gone, it was the lake they had first dated, and Princess Alice had said that she would use this place as a secret base in the future.
Coming to the lake where the first date was, Helim saw a beautiful figure in a princess costume sitting by the lake, picking up a stone and throwing it into the lake with a low expression, saying something in a broken way while throwing it, he couldn't help but laugh and walked behind the other party, patted her on the shoulder, and quickly flashed to the side, but Princess Alice didn't look back at all, still throwing the stone by herself.
Hulim thought that his strength was too light, and immediately shot again, but Princess Alice still had no reaction, so he had to give up his intention to tease the other party, sat next to him and smiled: "Beautiful princess, what's wrong with you?" Who messed with you? Tell me and I'll clean him up for you! β
Princess Alice glanced at Hulim angrily, pouted, and said, "It's you!" Hurry up and clean up yourself! β
Hulim suddenly showed a wry smile, understanding that the other party was making trouble, when Queen Irelia asked the two to date, Princess Alice was very resistant, and now it must be the same, but he can't be blamed for this, it was Queen Irelia's idea to get to this point, although he didn't resist.
Picking up a pebble and throwing it into the lake, Helim asked softly, "You don't really want to get engaged, and you don't like me, do you?" β
"Yes! Oh no, it's not like this, I'm actually, actually ......" Alice subconsciously blurted out the truth, and after reacting, she quickly changed her words: "Actually, I'm just not ready, a girl is suddenly going to get engaged, of course I'll be unhappy!" β
"Alright, don't lie to me!" Helim stood up, turned his hand and left the lake, saying as he went: "I understand what you have done, if you don't want to get engaged, don't get engaged, do what you want to do." β
"I ......"
Hulim waved his hand with his back to Princess Alice and slowly walked into the woods, leaving a handsome back.
Looking at the direction in which Helim disappeared, Princess Alice's eyes gradually appeared with a touch of determination, before Helim came, she was still hesitating, but with Helim's words, she already understood what she should do, but she was a little sorry for Helim, but, "I'm sorry, you're a good person!" β
And in the woods, Hulim stood in the woods, holding up a tree and posing in a very handsome pose, but after waiting for a long time, the situation he expected that Princess Alice would catch up did not appear, and there was a look of disappointment on his face, but Hulim still had Plan B, and he believed that Plan B would not disappoint him.
Two days later, the night before the official engagement ceremony, Princess Alice was obediently in her room, and outside her room stood a number of soldiers, all of whom had been sent by Queen Irelia, who knew her daughter's temperament and knew that Princess Alice would definitely be a moth.
In fact, just as Queen Irelia thought, Princess Alice was packing up in the room at this time, and the clothes she was wearing were also civilian, all of which meant that she was preparing to escape from marriage, which was the surprise she was going to give to Queen Irelia, but as the saying goes, parents always know their children best, and Princess Alice, who was ready for everything, found that the difficulty of escaping marriage was simply epic.
Just as Princess Alice was distressed by this, there was a knock on the window, and she opened the window to see that it was Hulim's smiling face, "Hey! Beautiful princess, do you need help? β
Princess Alice took a few steps back in surprise and let Hulim enter the room, and was about to speak, when the other party put his hand on her mouth, threw out a set of clothes and said: "Change this suit first, I will help you solve the soldiers outside, and I will knock on the door in a while, and you will come out again." β
Princess Alice nodded stunned and began to change into the clothes brought by Hulym, while Hulim came to the corridor outside Princess Alice's room through the window, sent the soldiers outside away in a few words, and then knocked on the door, and after a while, Princess Alice, dressed in a palace maid's suit, walked out of it.
After giving a few words to Princess Alice, Hulim led her swaggering out of the palace, and along the way to the gate of Tarummere, but the two of them did not know that all of their actions were all witnessed by someone.
At the same time that Hulim and Princess Alice left Tarummere, Ye Chen and the others also returned to the study room after the final inspection, and saw the note left by Hulim on the table, Ye Chen stepped forward to pick up the note, and read softly: "Everyone, please apologize to Her Majesty the Queen for me, I have taken my dear to find myself, and you will not see us at tomorrow's engagement ceremony!" β
After reading the content on the note, Ye Chen and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw helplessness in their respective eyes, but as Hulim's companions, they could only honestly help wipe their butts, so Ye Chen smiled helplessly and said: "While there is still time, let's think about how to talk to Her Majesty the Queen!" β
The next day, in the central square of Talunmere, the guests who had come to the engagement ceremony were waiting here early, and Queen Irelia and the elven nobles were already sitting on the VIP stage, but the protagonists Hulim and Princess Alice were nowhere to be seen.
Just when everyone was impatient, Ye Chen took Louise and them to the square, and said respectfully to Queen Irelia: "Dear Your Majesty, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" β
Queen Irelia was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course it's good news on such a festive day!" β
"The good news is that this engagement ceremony can be turned into a celebration if it is modified a little."
"The bad news, is it that my daughter and Hulim have eloped?"
Ye Chen immediately looked at Queen Irelia in surprise,! Can the queen read minds?
"I don't know how to read minds, I just already know about it." Queen Irelia shook her head helplessly and said, "These two children, I won't force them. Alas! Forget it, forget it, how long does it take to transform it into a celebration of invitation? β
"It doesn't take long, one morning is enough."
"So be it." Queen Irelia waved Ye Chen to do it, and then called a soldier and said, "Go find the two of them and protect them secretly, since these two children choose this, then let them go!" (To be continued.) )
