"Chapter 62: The Princess of the Empire"
There are two cardinal sins of human beings, from which all other sins are derived: impatience and carelessness. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info they were banished from heaven because of their lack of patience, and they could not go back because of their carelessness. Perhaps there is only one main sin: impatience. They were expelled for lack of patience, and they could not go back because of lack of patience.
- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)
The success of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce lies in the fact that all the most luxurious and extravagant high-end consumption establishments in the imperial capital have the shadow of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce;
This is the case with the snack bar where Bai Feng and the others solve breakfast in the morning, the jewelry store where they buy back the princess's heart, and the restaurant where they eat lunch at noon, and the ubiquitous Westminster Chamber of Commerce makes Bai Feng feel uncomfortable all over.
At lunchtime, the topic between the women quickly shifted to shopping and jewelry, even the most extraordinary Yue'er and Binglan in Bai Feng's heart were no exception, and the common topic could always make the relationship between the women warm up quickly.
Bai Feng, who couldn't interject at all, actually had no intention of interjecting, his mind was full of thoughts about rebuilding the tragic dead soldiers, and he didn't have the heart to care about their affairs at all;
As he dealt with the Westminster Chamber of Commerce more and more times these days, Bai Feng felt more and more that this Westminster Chamber of Commerce was definitely not as simple as a simple Chamber of Commerce;
Ophelia and Ophelissa, who wanted to continue shopping in the afternoon, did not get Bai Feng's consent this time, and Yue'er and Binglan also felt that they should go back, so Yue'er and Binglan went back first with the two little girls, while Bai Feng stayed outside.
The reason why Yue'er and Binglan felt that they should go home was not because they didn't want to continue shopping, but because they could see that Diana had something to do with Bai Feng;
Standing in front of the window of the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, looking at the backs of Yue'er and the others in the distance, until the naked eye couldn't see anything, Bai Feng, who had regained his smile, asked Diana, who was also alone, "I don't know what the Seventh Princess wants to tell me if she wants to tell me if she left me?"
"How do you know my identity?!" Diana, who was a little distracted, was disturbed by Bai Feng's astonishing words before she could speak, but fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mentality and said with a light smile: "Second son Bai, it really deserves its reputation!"
"What is this worthy of the name, it is really the performance of Her Royal Highness the princess is too obvious. After changing Diana's identity from a beautiful senior sister to an imperial princess, Bai Feng's good impression of her has not dissipated, but it is not as strong as before.
"Although I have not been in the emperor for a long time, I still know some basic information about the empire, for example, the Marquis Amber of the Corona family, who is one of the five ministers under the prime minister of the empire, is the top powerful person in charge of the affairs of the empire.
I am afraid that the only one who can make the arrogant and domineering aristocratic lady of such a top powerful family show a look of panic is the royal princess of the Imperial Family, and the imperial princess who is still studying in the Imperial Academy seems to have only one seventh princess. ”
Diana still admires Bai Feng's ability to tell her identity in one word, if Diana used to woo Bai Feng for the purpose of wooing the Bai family, then now she simply wants to woo Bai Feng for her fourth brother.
The conversation between smart people is never too complicated, Bai Feng and Diana are extremely smart people, and the conversation between them is even more concise and clear; after a little thought, Diana sat up straight and said frankly to Bai Feng:
"Bai Gongzi, since you can discover my identity through the clues, you naturally have some understanding of the imperial throne struggle, are you willing to help my fourth brother? He is my own brother, I want you to help him compete for the crown prince!"
"Seventh Princess......" As soon as Bai Feng spoke, he was interrupted by Diana, who was full of displeasure: "Bai Feng, if you call me that, then you won't treat me as a friend; ”
"Seven...... Diana. Before Bai Feng, who called the wrong person, could say those three words, Diana's face sank, and Bai Feng hurriedly called her Diana, which made her face soothe.
"From the perspective of a friend only, I would prefer to help you support the four princes in the battle for the imperial throne, but it is not up to me to decide which prince the Bai family chooses as an ally, I think you know this better than me. ”
"Bai Feng, you mean, the Bai family has already chosen a certain prince as an ally, right?"
"Before answering your question, you need to answer me a few questions: when will the Bai family be promoted from the marquis family to the duke family? How many Bai family members will be made dukes? Among them, which prince will contribute the most?"
Faced with Bai Feng's seemingly simple but actually profound questions, Diana's brows furrowed slightly, and after a long time, she sighed: "I didn't expect that the youngest of the brothers and sisters would be one step ahead of everyone in the competition for the Bai family. ”
"Frankly speaking, I don't know if the eighth prince is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, and I don't know if the other three princes are more worthy of our Bai family's alliance; ”
"The most ruthless emperor family, this is perhaps the most apt sentence I have ever heard. Diana, whose face was full of sorrow, was very depressed and said: "There are many things, what if I don't want to mix? Even if I don't mix, won't I be implicated in the end?"
After Diana's weak monologue, Bai Feng was silent for a long time and did not speak, until Diana, who was full of disappointment, got up and planned to leave, Bai Feng stood up solemnly, and promised to Diana's turned back:
"If you are willing to get out of the whirlpool of this power struggle, I will use my power to ensure that your fate is not at the mercy of anyone, even if he is the Emperor or the Pope. ”
Diana, who suddenly had an abnormal look in her eyes, did not look back, but turned her back to Bai Feng and replied: "I will go back to my fourth brother this afternoon, and I will never participate in the battle for the throne between the four princes in the future!"
After saying this, Diana, whose mouth was slightly raised, pushed open the door and left here, and at the same time, Bai Feng's face also showed a relieved smile, he really didn't want to see Diana, a picturesque and quiet girl, fall victim to the power struggle.
Bai Feng knew that it would undoubtedly be difficult to get her out of the battle for the throne of the empire before he exposed the strength of the city of Rome to Diana, but thankfully, Diana did not make the choice to disappoint Bai Feng, and she seized the opportunity to control her own destiny.
At this moment, Bai Feng didn't know how many great opportunities he had given up in the future because of today's promise, but even if fate gave him a chance to choose again, he would still choose to make this promise to Diana without hesitation.
The relationship between people is complex and simple, sometimes two people have lived together for a lifetime but still can't understand each other, sometimes it only takes one or two sentences to make two unfamiliar people become tacit; perhaps, this is fate.
