39. Chapter 39
γChapter 39: Engagement (I)γLudwig on the side frowned: What does this guy want to do?
The grand ceremonial procession walked from the city, and the royal family deliberately avoided all aerial flying tools and took a primitive ground procession. On that day, the imperial capital was as if it was before the interstellar era, and there were almost no other flying machines in the air except for the media airships, and all the people who did not need to work on this day were waiting for the arrival of the royal limousines on both sides of the ground road.
The limousine departs from the palace and follows the main road to the Holy Church in the imperial capital, where the prince's engagement ceremony will take place.
Ludwig and Ye Zhao huddled in a not-so-spacious limousine, looking out the window at the cheering crowd.
"This car is made according to the drawings left over from the Paleo-Earth period, and it will not be used once in hundreds of years."
Ludwig twisted, the car was too narrow for his stature. And this qiΔ is just to satisfy his dear brother's pretending X**...... The Shogun expressed disdain.
Ye Zhao looked at the crowd outside the window, and he couldn't help but clench his palms when he wasn't nervous.
Engaged, so many people watched......
Ludwig stretched out his hand and held his, and Ye Zhao turned his head to look at him, revealing a reassuring smile.
Their wedding car walked in the middle of the procession, and at the head of the ceremonial procession was the emperor's majesty who was constantly waving in an open-air ceremonial car...... Now, Ye Zhao has a certain understanding of his future uncle.
After taking the oath in the presence of the church priest, Ludwig and Ye Zhao exchanged a gentle and long kiss, and Ye Haha and Ares, who were dressed as flower girls, followed by the two, and Ares used all his strength to control himself from pounce on such a cute Ye Haha.
The realization that his own master had been combined with the other party's master was simply delighted by the fact that Ares was extremely happy.
Ye Haha: Damn, I'm so scared.
Ye Mingxun, who was not far away, wiped the corners of his eyes and gave birth to a kind of sadness of marrying a son. Gilbert patted him on the shoulder, signaling that his own brother could still be trusted.
In addition to the emperor and Ye Mingxun, there were almost only guards who came to the church with the ceremonial procession, and all the guests were waiting in the palace and Ye Mansion respectively, and the engagement banquet could be held as soon as the ceremonial car returned.
When they returned to the palace, all the work was ready. The wedding carriage drove all the way to Ludwig's former dormitory, where they were scheduled to show up at the end of the first song in the banquet hall, when the banquet would also reach the end of the evening.
In the banquet room, all the invited guests gathered together in twos and threes, and those who knew each other talked loudly, and those who had interests in each other also raised their glasses, which was full of the banquet atmosphere of high society.
Among these people, the middle-aged man who had been drinking silently in the corner and bowing his head was obviously a little out of place.
Few people knew him, but since he was able to appear at this banquet, it also showed that the other party's identity was either rich or expensive, and the waiter did not dare to slack off, and would come over every once in a while to ask if the other party needed a new drink.
The man was a middle-aged man, and he didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and several times he impatiently beckoned the waiter to go away.
When no one notices, his gaze on the center of the dance floor always seems to be full of resentment and reluctance.
When a figure dressed in fine clothes appeared at the entrance of the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a swift step changed and his tone was a compliment: "Lord Nicklaus! β
The person who came seemed to have just discovered his existence, and after a while, he glanced at him obliquely: "Mr. Ye." β
Nicklaus glanced at the golden hall, and smiled without smiling: "It's a blessing to make a nephew, how many people can't dream of marrying into the royal family, I'm afraid the Ye family will be even more prosperous from now on, right?" β
The middle-aged man laughed twice and did not answer.
Niklas snorted from his nostrils, ignored him and walked straight into the banquet hall. He could have been late, but if he didn't show himself more actively at this time, he was afraid that he would fall into the hands of others again.
At a round table, several young men in military uniforms were standing together, and they laughed out loud when they heard something that made people laugh. Seeing Nicklaus coming, they all stopped laughing: "Lord Nicklaus." β
Nicklaus put on a smile on his face: "Hello generals! Today's banquet is really lively. β
A general who looked a little older smiled politely at him and said, "Yes, after all, the general is engaged, and it can be regarded as minimal." β
Nicklaus nodded in agreement, and then said, "If the general hadn't been injured this time, this engagement banquet would still be far away, ah?" He laughed with self-righteous humor, but the other of them were clearly not very good-looking.
One of the inch-headed young men sneered and said, "According to what the adults say, it's a good thing that the general is injured?" β
"Leoni!" The old general from before scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. β
He looked at Nicklaus, "Lord, of course, that's not what you meant, right?" β
Nicklaus was stunned for a moment, and then wiped his forehead with his hand: "Naturally not, naturally not ......"
The dance music was already playing, and Nicklaus felt a little embarrassed, said goodbye, and went away.
After he left, the inch-headed general said, "Michal, why did you stop me just now?" I've long seen that yin and yang weird guy unpleasant! β
The man called Michal had a stern face: "Why are you still so frizzy, who is Nicklaus?" He has always been at odds with the general, even if it is for the sake of the general, we shouldn't have clashed with him face to face like this! β
These few people are all generals who stayed behind in the Imperial Star for various reasons, but they can be regarded as Ludwig's direct subordinates. The other two young generals, who had not spoken since just now, made fun of the breathless Leoni, one of whom looked a little feminine and handsome, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't talk about anything else...... What kind of role do you think the guide who can subdue the general is? β
Michal said sternly: "Don't speculate on the general. That being said, his tense face couldn't help but reveal a bit of gossip.
Leoni said, "It seems to me that he is a powerful and handsome guide!" It's like the Seffir of Arthur's house - by the way, is that Seffir beauty here today? His eyes began to search the entire arena, trying to find Shalfir.
The other man had fiery red hair, which made the whole person more and more sunny, and he smashed Leoni on the head: "You can think of it!" I think you're in love with Cyphil, right? But people don't necessarily look down on you......"
"Shuni!" Leoni shouted, "You take care of your little Hoffman!" β
Michal and the handsome young man just now shook their heads helplessly, watching the daily quarrel between the two.
"May I ask ......" A slightly cool voice remembered, a young man with a long figure in a black slim dress walked up to the four of them, he looked at the red-haired young man, and asked a somewhat abrupt question, "You and Joshua...... Major General, what is the relationship? β
***
The first dance had reached the end, and Ye Zhao and Ludwig Tong GuΓ² walked to the second floor of the banquet hall another day.
"That day," said Ludwig, "I saw you at a glance at this place in the General's Palace. β
"So the general took a fancy to me at that time?" Ye Zhao asked a little narcissistically.
Ludwig couldn't help but laugh and scratched his nose: "Almost." At that time, I thought, how strange it was that little guy hiding in the corner, everyone gathered in the middle of the dance floor, and he was the only one who hid and secretly stole food for his puppy. β
"It's taking, not stealing!" Ye Zhao was extremely strict in correcting the wrong words of this general, after all, things are for people to eat, how can it be called stealing! "If they don't eat it, it's a waste to put it there!"
The general knew that he was wrong, and said helplessly: "Okay, I know it's wrong." β
"And then you have a crush on me?" Ye Zhao still couldn't help the persistent narcissism in his heart.
Ludwig smiled and pointed to the big snow leopard behind the two: "It's him, Ares found you one step ahead of me, and his aura with Haha seems to be very compatible." β
But there was one more thing he didn't say, if it weren't for Ludwig's approval, how could Ares have done those things casually......
Ye Zhao looked at Ares as if he was looking at a leading hero.
When the music finally reached the end, Ludwig took Ye Zhao's hand and walked slowly but steadily towards the staircase. Ye Zhao's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Ludwig's side face, angular, handsome.
This is the person he admired in two lives, and in his previous life, he may never have imagined that he would really stand side by side with this person one day.
He worked hard to catch up and move forward, behind the desire to save the motherland, why not chase and yearn for this person with his own selfishness? Whether he is selfish or cunning, he is the only one who can be compared to Ludwig Boero for two lifetimes......
There was thunderous applause in his ears, which was the blessing of all those present to him and Ludwig.
Ludwig clenched his hand, the ring on the other side's fingertips, a token they had exchanged in the church today, a real reminder of the authenticity of this qiΔ.
"We'll just go straight to the center of the hall later."
Ludwig lowered his head and whispered in his ear, and Ye Zhao nodded slightly.
The center of the circle had long been vacated, and Ye Zhao hurriedly saw Ye Mingxun, saw Dior, saw his uncle Ye Minghao, and even saw Sai Fei, who was full of anticipation...... When Ludwig pulled him to stand there, Ye Zhao's cheeks were a little hot.
He didn't listen to what Ludwig was saying, and it wasn't until the other party put his arm around his waist that he suddenly woke up and returned to the real world.
Gilbert appeared in the corridor on the second floor at this time, and inevitably made another speech.
Ludwig was like a child at the moment, holding Ye Zhao's hand and whispering to him about his brother who loved him very much.
"Xiao Zhao," a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded in front of him, "Congratulations! β
Ye Zhao raised his head, and sure enough, he saw his uncle's smiling face.
Ludwig on the side frowned: What does this guy want to do?
