Section 75

Although the Queen Mother's bedroom is tall and spacious, the decoration is very simple.

The corridors and lawns of the palace are full of flowers, and the air is filled with bursts of fragrance, walking in this corridor full of natural atmosphere, there is a special quiet interest, since leaving the island where the shepherds live, it is the first time she has been in this environment, subconsciously, she hopes that this corridor can be longer.

Among the common people, Her Majesty the Venerable Empress Dowager is a model of a loving and virtuous woman, and in the eyes of the important ministers of the empire, the Empress Dowager Sophia is an extremely powerful woman, known as an iron fist.

When the Empress Dowager Sophia married into the royal family at the age of eighteen, the old emperor was cowardly by nature, frail and sickly, and the government was mostly in the hands of several grand dukes of each town, which was quite a country within a country.

After the death of the old emperor, the Empress Dowager Sophia, after clearing all obstacles for her son, retreated into the background and silently supported the new emperor.

The Empress Dowager Sophia may have been a beautiful woman when she was young, but now she seems to be a rather stern woman, with sharp eyes, thin lips, always seems to be pursed hard, and her chin is resolute, and she looks very stubborn and difficult to get along with.

"Miss Warren, please forgive me for taking you away from your friends, but I think it is necessary for us to get to know each other beforehand!"

Queen Sophia, who was watering the flowers, heard Moon Shadow's soft greeting, and gracefully turned around and looked at her with an extremely critical gaze, which made Moon Shadow feel very uncomfortable...... Moreover, the Queen Mother's words made her very confused, what does it mean to 'need to know in advance'?

So, Moon Shadow looked at Her Majesty the Queen Mother with a very innocent look, hoping that she could explain further.

As a high-ranking person, it seems that she is not in the habit of resolving doubts and doubts, and the Empress Dowager Sophia directly ignored the eyes of the moon shadow, but waved her hand to signal the female officials to step back, and she continued to scan the moon shadow with her eyeballs.

Huh! Moon Shadow sighed secretly: It's really helpless to be eaten by an old woman with her eyes!

"Miss Alice," said the Empress Dowager Sophia, who seemed to be pondering her words, "as a well-educated noble lady, she should be impeccable in her manners! ”

Looks like your old man is getting ready to find fault with me!

Moon Shadow pricked up her ears in alarm.

"You should bow with your knees lower...... Don't raise your head so high, it's rude......" Queen Mother Sophia ignored Moon Shadow's expression at all, and said to herself: "Your teeth are a little yellow......"

The black lines covered Moon Shadow's forehead like night, and she almost gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I brush my teeth every day, whether it is color or hardness, it is in line with the standards of the nobility!" ”

After saying that, Moon Shadow also bared her white teeth - if Her Majesty the Queen Mother had the courage to stretch out her finger at this time, she would definitely take a bite. (—in infinite imagination)

"Alice, remember, living in the palace, etiquette is more strict, you can't interject at will until I finish speaking, maybe you should go to St. Mariana's College to study, after the harvest festival, I will arrange this matter, I will inform Archmagist Arisandra!"

Listening to Queen Sophia's seemingly kind and somewhat tolerant words, Moon Shadow rubbed her ears suspiciously—yes, but ...... Who's going to live in the palace anymore?!

"Your Majesty, you seem to be mistaken," Moon Shadow said without humility or arrogance, "I have no plans to live in the palace, and I don't think I have the qualifications to do so!" ”

Empress Dowager Sophia frowned slightly, the etiquette of this young lady ...... It's really negligent in discipline!

"Miss Alice, please be seated!"

Her Majesty the Queen Mother sat down at an elegant table with some dejection, and she did not understand why Karel had to take Miss Alice as his wife, for in her opinion the granddaughter of the old Prime Minister Antony, the girl named Ludvika, was more suitable for the second wife.

Although Ludvicka is not as beautiful as Alice, she has received a formal royal etiquette education since she was a child, and although the old prime minister Anthony is old, the connections he has accumulated over the decades are not fake, with his help, Karel is just around the corner to become the crown prince, and in terms of political bargaining chips, she is much stronger than that Alice.

Moon Shadow was even more depressed, after Ludvicka made that turmoil, she knew that this matter was not over, but she didn't expect this Queen Mother Sophia to insert a lever, it was really ...... She didn't even know what to say!

"Miss Alice," Sophia said with a soft sigh, "you are indeed beautiful, no wonder Karel is fascinated by you, but you must know that the royal family has royal rules, and your every move is related to the majesty of the royal family!" ”

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother said she was smiling!" Moon Shadow's response was much calmer, and she lowered her head slightly: "From beginning to end, I have only one side relationship with the Second Highness, maybe the Second Highness has a misunderstanding, I am very uneasy, I have no intention of marrying the Second Highness!" ”

"Oh? Do you think Second Highness is not good enough? A trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Sophia: "I still think that marrying into the royal family has humiliated you!" ”

The latter sentence is a bit heavy, if you want Moon Shadow to tell the truth, 'royal' is just the most noble status in the world, where can it be worthy of the transcendence of a cultivator!

However, considering the parents, this is unspeakable.

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother is serious!" Moon Shadow replied without humility or arrogance, "Second Highness is one of the top ten masters of the younger generation in the academy, and he is good enough; The royal status is even more exalted. ”

"Then why don't you agree?" Empress Dowager Sophia's face showed a look of surprise, and she couldn't understand what the moon shadow meant for a moment.

Moon Shadow was heartbroken, and simply said bluntly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, first of all, I will not share my boyfriend with other women; Secondly, my boyfriend has to be stronger than me! ”

After saying that, Moon Shadow boldly looked directly at the Empress Dowager Sophia, ready to meet the expected rage.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Sophia was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled: "What a child's talk!" However, if a husband can't compare to his wife, it's really not decent! ”

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, it's time!"

Madame de Villefort pushed the door open and came in to report to the Queen Mother.
