Chapter 141: The Evil Empress (11)
On Zhao Jiaqi's right hand are Duke Hanweinuo and their wives who are attached to her.
The banquet was in full swing, and many people presented many rare treasures to the queen.
When it was Madame Castilli's turn, she noticed that something was wrong: "I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of dressing Her Royal Highness?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the people at the banquet looked at Twelve.
Twelve frowned, looked at the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Lady Castilli and said, "I don't know what this lady means by being inappropriate, today is the wedding day of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Empress, and it is a capital crime to talk about the royal family in vain." ”
Madame Castilli paused and looked at Zhao Jiaqi, as if she was drawing strength from her.
Zhao Jiaqi said: "I think it should be Mrs. Castilli's eyes, the lights are brilliant tonight, and the imperial concubine is dressed brilliantly, especially the dress, which is really colorful and dazzling, this should be a misunderstanding." ”
Zhao Jiaqi didn't say it's okay, as soon as she said this, everyone present felt that the skirt worn by Twelve was too gorgeous, so beautiful that it was a little arrogant.
Sure enough, Kyle's brow furrowed.
Twelve didn't panic at all: "Yes, Her Royal Highness is right, Mrs. Castilli is dazzled, you should leave with your blessings." ”
Madame Castilli, however, was not about to give up: "I read that right! You're wearing a dress made of mermaids! This dress is made of the same material as the wedding dress you wore when you married His Majesty! ”
"Presumptuous!" Twelve will never allow anyone to trample on her dignity wantonly, "Who gave you the courage to be in front of Your Majesty, you, mine?" Have you even forgotten the honorific title? ”
Zhao Jiaqi jumped out again at this time to be a good person: "Twelve Imperial Princesses, forget it, Mrs. Castilli didn't mean it, besides, it's a fact that your clothes are woven by mermaids, and she is not wrong." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Kyle turned his head and stared at Twelve.
Twelve knew that this was a trap set by Zhao Jiaqi, but why did Seya put on this dress for herself, was she bought?
No wonder I have always had a sense of familiarity with this dress before, it turns out that this dress is the same material as my wedding dress back then.
Zhao Jiaqi sighed without giving the twelve the slightest respite: "Your Majesty, I have also heard of this kind of cloth woven by the merman, it is said that such a precious thing is only available in Yorkshire, the territory of Duke Campbell, and it is understandable that the princess wears clothes woven by the merman, right?" ”
After she finished speaking, several families led by Duke Hanweno glared fiercely at Twelve.
In the context of the hereditary system of the territory of the Robert Empire, the aristocracy has the absolute right to speak on everything on the land, but the territory is limited, and the territory with rich resources is even more scarce, so such land has become a sought-after commodity among the nobles, and often the two families become rivals, most likely because of a piece of land.
Hanweno competed with Campbell in Yorkshire, and eventually lost this land because of Campbell's military exploits for Robert's empire.
Other aristocrats also had disputes with the Campbells over land disputes.
The Campbell family is a family of military generals, and many of the heirs' territories are divided into borders and neighboring countries, so among the ministers, it is rare to see people from the Campbell family.
This puts Twelve at a very serious disadvantage.
Duke Hanweno stepped forward and said to Kyle, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has despised Her Royal Highness, and her heart is condemnable, and I recommend that the Twelve Campbells should be removed from the title of Imperial Princess and Duke, and exiled to the distant Northland!" ”
Duke Hanweno did this, nothing more than coveting the land resources in the hands of the twelve, once she was removed from the title, then the territory she originally held in her hands will become terra nullius again, as long as a little fighting, Duke Hanweno is confident that he will be able to get his hands, after all, now he can compete with his family, except for Campbell.
As soon as these words came out, many nobles came forward to second.
Even if you can't get the best Yorkshire, everyone wants a piece of the pie, after all, no one will dislike having more land in their hands.
Looking at the scene staged in front of him, everyone pushed it, Twelve was silent, and Hongmeng was anxious: "The host is big, you want to think of a way, do you want to watch everything about yourself being taken away?" You're going to be the Empress! ”
"If it is not broken, it will not stand." Faced with Hongmeng's anxiety, Twelve spit out such a sentence.
Twelve thoughts, maybe she was wrong from the beginning, jumping out of the limitations of Robert's Empire, not needing the support of these forces and ministers, taking advantage of the weakness of Robert's Empire, completely subverting this dynasty, and being the empress herself.
Twelve, who thought like this, was even more reluctant to speak for himself, and just watched the farce in front of him.
Seeing her so calm, Zhao Jiaqi couldn't help fanning the flames beside Kyle: "Your Majesty, you can't do this, if that's the case, the Twelve Imperial Princesses will be too pitiful, you have to give her a chance to fight for yourself!" ”
Kyle looked at her tenderly, "Then you say, what should I do?" ”
Zhao Jiaqi lowered his head and pretended to think deeply for a while, but in fact, he was looking at Twelve's expression: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Campbell family is a family of military generals, specializing in generals, it is better to let the Twelve Imperial Princesses and the greatest Knights of the Guards of the Robert Empire compete for the winner, as long as she wins, then keep all her glory, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Jiaqi's words seemed to be helping Twelve to intercede, but in fact, he was pushing Twelve into the fire pit.
You must know that the Knights of the Guards of the Robert Empire are composed of the best twenty-five people selected from the knights of the country, and the only duty of these twenty-five people is to protect the safety of the emperor, so it is conceivable that they are the elite of the elite.
You may not be able to fight one-on-one, and you can beat twenty-five people at a time, Zhao Jiaqi's trick can be said to be very insidious.
Everyone here is not brainless, and they all began to talk about it when they heard Zhao Jiaqi say this.
Victoria was the first to question: "My mother is the rightful princess of the Robert Empire, why should she be cut down because of Duke Hanweino's two sentences?" If it was really because of this that the concubine lost her title, then the Robert Empire would really become a joke in the mainland! ”
Victoria's words are sharp, her eyes are full of power, and she has a kind of momentum that whoever bullies my mother will make you die a bad death.
Twelve stroked her back with relief.
Kyle narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did Victoria say about that?" ”
"Because of the loss of a knighthood in a piece of clothing, even if Alexander the Great is reincarnated, he will not be able to do such a stupid thing!" Victoria said to her father with her little chin tilted.
Alexander the Great was the third emperor in the history of Robert's empire, and later generations called him the Emperor of the Faint.
