Namu was as accustomed to the past, the clothes on her body were wrapped from head to toe, and she was still veiled, only revealing half of her face, hands and calves, but this dark purple and red tulle skirt was very close-fitting, wrapping her graceful figure, slender and moving, the hem of the gauze skirt was about very long, and she tied a knot and pulled it up, revealing a pair of white slender calves, and the feet were non-winged soft and fitting dancing shoes

She had makeup on her face, long eyelashes, and a pair of wide-open eyes, which looked very charming, and although she did not wear jingling jewelry, she had gorgeous crocheted gold ribbons wrapped around her wrists, feet, and waist, which glittered in the dark

If you see such a beauty in other places, everyone will be amazed, but the problem is that in this place, at this moment, it is such a person with such a problematic identity as Namu, and Minter really can't praise it

She didn't work as a mistress in Prince Lawler's villa, and when he wasn't at home, she found out about Noga's information and ran to the palace for what?! And dressed like this?! She's coming out of another room, right? The balcony here connected to the three rooms, but he seemed to remember that the third room was locked?!

Namu was obviously stunned, he didn't expect to meet someone else here, and the two stared at each other there, and after a meaningless quarrel between the two in the room, Gale II began to refute Prince Mario's decisions one by one, and the latter was unconvinced to argue for himself that Minter and Namu were immediately attracted by their conversation

"Troops in the middle of next month? You're crazy! The dough nuts will have to wait another two months to be harvested, and it's summer, so you're not afraid that you will go to the south, and the soldiers won't be able to adapt to the hot and humid climate?! ”

"I'm not crazy! This is my decision after careful consideration, the grain stored now is enough for us to eat for a month, and the next month is the season to harvest grain in the northern and southern regions of Shaonan, we take the opportunity to go south, as long as a few days, we can grab enough food for us to eat for a year, and then return to the country before the rainy season, with this grain, and when the army invades the east again in the autumn, we will not use the military rations! ”

Gale II shook his head sadly: "You plan to go to war against two countries at once? Do you think Shaonan will do nothing? They're not afraid to fight in the rainy season! Instead, what you did gave them an excuse to invade and occupy our country to retaliate, besides, if we want to fight Shaonan, we must first pass through Weisha, how do you convince Weisha to let our troops enter? ”

"Hmph, what is Wisha? I'm afraid we're almost at the end of our army before Wisdom will receive the news, right? Just give them a little bit of the food they have snatched, and they are also short of food! Prince Mario said indifferently, "I know exactly who they are!" Predatory! As long as there is a little benefit, it will come over like a dog smelling meat! Do you think they don't want to rob Shaonan? It's just that the useless current king doesn't dare to violate the so-called no-war agreement! I have already contacted several forces that oppose him, they will act with us, and when the time comes, with them in the way, even if Shaonan wants to retaliate, he will have to take down Weisha first! ”

"The Holy See will not agree"

"What does it matter to us whether they say yes or not?! Why should they interfere in our business?! Prince Mario said irritably, "Okay, okay, you always have a reason for that!" Van Ah is now entangled in Wisha, where is the energy to care about us?! Let me tell you, the plan to send troops has been decided, as long as you obediently stay in the palace and be the king, take care of the platinum, and paint your paintings if you have nothing to do, and these affairs will be left to me and Lawler."

He raised his feet and was about to walk out, but was stopped by his brother: "I will not sign the consent form, and I will not issue a transfer order, in order to strengthen the army in the past few years, more than seventy percent of the country's young and strong people have been forcibly recruited into the army, I can't be a director because of my poor health, so I have to let you behave, but you have to put a large number of young and strong laborers into the battlefield when the busy agricultural season is coming, I will not agree to you do this anyway, just exchange the future of the country for your ambitions!" ”

Prince Mario was furious: "Can't you understand my words? I told you to leave this thing alone! Don't think you're really a king, how can you be a sick man who can only draw pictures to ascend to the throne without me?! Do what I say I do! I will let you be the king in peace until I die, and I will not rob you of the throne! ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around angrily and left, leaving Gael II alone in the room, and after a while he sighed faintly, Minte moved slightly, intending to retreat, and looked up at the opposite side, Dinam was obviously also in the same idea, she smiled at him, and turned to leave, but heard Gael II in the room suddenly say, "You heard everything?" Minter and Namu froze there

"I heard that," an old voice came from the room, and Mint suddenly felt creepy, when did there be a third person in the room?!

Gale II said: "It seems that Mario will not change his mind, but I can't let him continue to be so reckless, maybe I am not a good king, but since I sit in this seat, I must fulfill my responsibilities as a king" After a pause, he added: "Please help me, whether it is for the sake of this country or for the glory of Novella-Conxon."

The old voice said, "I don't need to say such things, I know what I should do," and then came the voice of a crutch: "Mario has no idea what kind of situation this country has reached, the whole north, including the northeast, the northwest, and the southwest, these remote areas, the commoners are about to die, but the nobles are getting richer and richer, enjoying a luxurious life, and if this continues, sooner or later, something will happen!" Our few territories close to Nomonka were originally very rich, and they were rapidly declining due to Mario's rebellion, and in the past few years, under your policy of encouraging the economy and attaching importance to agricultural land, we have only regained a little prosperity, but if there is a war at this time, then everything will disappear, and we can't afford another blow."

"You can understand, it's really good, in fact, as a descendant of Nicodimus the Great, who wouldn't fail to realize his dream of unifying the continent? But now is not a good time, Mario... He had talent, but it was a pity that he was born in the wrong time."

"Hmph, he just miscalculated the situation," the old voice approached the window, "If you want to realize your ancestors' dreams, it's fine, but if you know that your ancestors have made mistakes again, or even worse, then he's just a fool!" As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted and asked, "Who's outside?!" ”

Minter was startled, not knowing what was wrong, and suddenly saw the light reflected in the window with the golden ribbon on Namu's body, and then he woke up. If Namu is discovered by the locals in the room, it is equivalent to exposing himself

Namu looked at him and glanced quickly out of the balcony

Minter suddenly had an idea, he quickly put his arm around Namu's waist, flew over the balcony railing, hid in the flowers below the balcony, and pressed her head, and lowered himself to let the surrounding flower branches hide himself

As soon as he had just rolled down the balcony, the window was already open, and Gale II looked outside, and when he saw no one, he turned back and said, "Are you mistaken?" Is there really anyone? ”

In the room, the old man, who was nearly eighty years old, had a serious face: "There is a striped light of gold on the window, not like the light reflected from the side of the banquet."

When Gale II heard this, he simply opened the door and walked to the balcony, looked down carefully, and saw that Minter had lowered his body and pressed Namu's hand harder

The two above didn't find a problem, so they had to give up, and the old man said: "It's likely to be someone else's spy, in case the news is leaked, it will be bad, I'll contact others to speed up the action, and you can also find a way to stabilize the courtiers As for your mother's side, I will find a way to deal with it."

Gale II answered, but hesitated: "You won't..."

The old man sneered: "Yours and I will be bad for her?" Don't worry, she is still my sister-in-law in name, I won't be embarrassed for her, but she can't mess around anymore It's not me who is an uncle to say you, you are too merciful, maybe kindness is a necessary character for a good king, but it doesn't mean that you have to tolerate the willfulness of others unprincipledly! I think your nephew Jada is good, he has guts, he can be ruthless, and he is also a smart person, so cultivate him well."

"Yes," Gale II whispered, and the two whispered something again, and left the room together

Minter couldn't hear the ground clearly, only faintly heard the door closing, and felt that something was wrong, so Namu, who was still lying on his back, began to struggle vigorously, but he pressed his head and couldn't move

"Anyone? Come out! Suddenly a male voice came over them, so frightened that neither of them dared to move anymore, and the man walked quietly back and forth twice before he turned back and said, "Your Majesty, I have checked, and no one is there."

"Okay, you go" Gale II sent the guards away, and then turned back to his uncle and said: "It seems that if you are either dazzled, or the man has left, let's go back to the front hall, otherwise Mario will be suspicious"

This time, they were really gone, and Minter heard the footsteps go away, so he really let go of Namu, who quickly shook off his hand and ran a few steps away, before he looked back at him carefully, suddenly smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Are you walking with me?" ”

Mint didn't answer, turned around and left, heard the wind behind him, and immediately turned around to defend: "What do you want to do?!" ”

Even if she knows the identity of the other party, but she is in a foreign country, and the two are not sent by the same country, who knows what she will do?

Namu wanted to stop him just now, but when she saw this, she had to stop and smiled lowly: "Everyone is the same, why are you so defensive of me?" Don't worry, I won't betray you, I'm not that stupid"

Minter thought about it and felt that it was right, the situation of the two was similar, no matter which one revealed his identity, it would not be good for the other, so he relaxed a little, Namu smiled sweeter when he saw this, and suddenly bullied up, climbed on Minte's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Little brother, what happened just now, don't tell anyone that Sister Ai will be grateful to you" After that, she reached out and twisted his face

Minter suddenly felt goosebumps fall to the ground, and couldn't help but shiver, wanting to break away from her, but he didn't dare to act rashly, because her sharp nails were now against his neck, so he had to agree in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Namu smiled, withdrew his hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye at the corner Mint felt a little itchy on his neck, touched it, only to find that the skin was broken and bleeding, secretly cursed, took out the leaf and applied it, the wound healed immediately, he looked left and right, quietly turned back to the garden, only to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Namu was talking in his ear just now, he was uncomfortable, and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe his ears and face, and then returned to the banquet hall

Jada had finished talking to the others and was standing on the side, quietly drinking wine, and looked back at him and frowned: "Why are you so red on your face?" Was it a mosquito bite on the neck? ”

Mint said a little uncomfortably: "It's in Ai Garden... Mosquitoes are terrible..."

Jada smiled, "You see something, right?" Hmph, that playboy habit, they learn very quickly! He didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head to the crowd in the hall

Minter hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered, "I see Miss Junia, she seems to be very sad, won't you comfort her?" ”

"How can I do this now? Shedd will be optimistic about her, and when things are done, find a way to coax her back, it's okay, she's just making trouble" Jada took a sip of wine casually, "You see Lawler has been talking to a few cronies for a long time, I don't know what tricks there are"

Minter looked from afar, and sure enough, he saw Prince Lawler whispering to a few people, and soon they separated, returned to the Queen Mother, and talked to her with a smile, which made her smile, and then he stood up, snapped his fingers, and the lights dimmed, and the guests were silent for a while, listening to what he had to say

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the palace tonight for my grandmother's birthday ball, and in order to celebrate her, I, Prince Lawler, have prepared a few small programs myself, so please watch them too."

The guests looked at each other to welcome Lawlor smiled proudly, high-fived, the curtain in the corner of the banquet hall suddenly opened, the lights were bright, twenty ** years old handsome little boys dressed neatly and gorgeously, stood in two rows, and began to sing a song in praise of the Queen Mother in a crisp voice, although the tune is very ordinary, but under the boys' singing voice, it looks particularly beautiful

Prince Lawler "whispered" to the Queen Mother that it was a piece he had composed herself, and the Queen Mother smiled very happily, and when the boys had finished singing, she ordered the maids around her to reward them generously, and the young ladies and nobles around her praised Prince Lawler in unison for his versatility and filial piety to his grandmother, and she was even more happy

The curtain was pulled up again, and when it was opened again, a purple figure appeared on the round table, two flower-like gilded candlesticks, each lit with five candles, emitting a little fire in the darkness, the woman danced with the melodious traditional folk song of Nuojia, holding the candlestick and making all kinds of difficult movements, posing beautifully, people looked at the firelight beating like stars, but it seemed to be glued to the woman's hand, it would not fall off at all, and they were all amazed

Minter recognized at a glance that it was Namu whom she had just met, and it turned out that she had entered the palace to perform at the ball, but what was Prince Lawler doing? Let the mistress make a public appearance?

Jada sneered in a low voice: "Prince Mario keeps saying that he excludes foreigners and wants to drive them away, but his son openly lets foreign mistresses appear, where are they rejecting foreigners?" It's just a greedy desire to rob foreign wealth and beauty! ”

Minter opened his mouth, but still didn't speak

The Queen Mother liked this show very much, and asked who the performance was, and when she knew that it was her grandson's "guest", she glanced at him meaningfully: "You kid knows how to mess around!" But he didn't reproach him and poured her favorite fruit wine with a smile: "This is the best fruit wine just sent from the north, you drink one more glass, and sleep more soundly at night."

The Queen Mother glanced at him, raised her glass with a smile and took a drink, a little moved: "So it's like this!" The king likes this very much, so you can send him a drink, and please him, why do you accompany me, an old woman, all day long? ”

Lawler smiled and answered, got up and looked at the beautiful woman in the opposite dress with an angry face, glared at her warningly, and saw her face with a pale smile, and then turned around with the flask and walked in the direction of Gale II, but was stopped by a squire halfway, and motioned to him to the small door on the side, and saw that it was his father nodding to him, and walked over

Minter immediately noticed this, and whispered to Jada, "Prince Lawler and Prince Mario don't know what to say, I'll listen" Jada nodded slightly, and he quietly walked to the corridor outside the door, secretly approached Prince Mario's father and son, and eavesdropped on their conversation

“… Turned the other cheek?! "This is Prince Lawler's voice

"That's right, let's speed up, we've reached this point, we can't let him ruin our plans!"

"That," Lawler hesitated, "what are you going to do?" ”

"When the ball is over and the men are gone, they quietly put him under house arrest, and announce to the outside that he will also control his old illness and Jada's side will also be controlled, and if necessary, he will be thrown into prison! Wait until the war is over, and then release them! Then they will have to accept the status quo, with your grandmother here, no one will be suspicious."

Lawlor didn't say anything, and Prince Mario didn't say much, only hurriedly confessed a few words, and left the former, standing where he was, with an unpredictable expression on his face

Minter quietly retreated into the hall, feeling that Lawler's reaction was really reassuring, so he walked up to Jada, told him everything he had just heard, and said, "Do you want to ask Your Majesty to be more careful?" I was afraid that Prince Lawler had other ideas, and Jada frowned, so I walked up behind Gale II and whispered a few words to him before looking up and nodding to Minter

The ball gradually came to an end, and in the last part, the protagonist of the ball toasted goodbye to the guests, Lawler smiled and personally took a delicate golden flask to pour wine for his grandmother, and when she addressed everyone, she took a few steps back and handed the flask to Jada with a smile: "Brother, Your Majesty will pour the cup, right?" ”

Jada looked at him warily, wondering what he was thinking
