Ulysses bowed slightly, held out a hand, and stared at her with a smile.

Ju Qi looked at the dancing crowd around him, a smile rose slightly at the corner of his lips, and he gently put his hand in his palm.

Ulysses stared at her with a smile in his eyes, his thin lips gently dropped a kiss on the back of her hand, and then he took her into his arms with all his might, and he was caught off guard by hitting his broad chest, looking up at him, only to hear a low laugh overflowing from his lips and teeth.

"My fault, little angel, whoever made me uneasy as soon as I saw you." Ulysses wrapped his big palm around her waist and whispered in her ear with his head down.

It was really the first time that Ying Qi had met such a person who was full of love words skills, she was speechless for a while, and then said lightly: "You are really not a traditional gentleman. ”

"What's so good about a gentleman, just pretend to be arrogant." Ulysses chuckled twice and added, "You're not a traditional lady either, we're the same kind of people. ”

"There's nothing wrong with gentlemen and ladies, it's just that many people aren't, but they pretend to be, like a wild duck with a swan temperament, and sooner or later they will be exposed."

Ulysses was amused by her words: "I really didn't misunderstand you, you are different from them. ”

"Where did you come from?"

"Me? Do you really want to know? A sly look rose in Ulysses' eyes.

Ying Qi bowed slightly, she always felt that the man in front of her was not so simple, late that night in the courtyard of the countryside, the ring clearly sensed his existence, but there was no one around.

Ulysses smiled slightly: "I'll tell you when you come to Keane." ”

After the dance, the music gradually changed to a more lively style.

The people in the hall exchanged dance partners, and no one wanted to dance with Makichi, at least for now, Ulysses pretended not to see the autumn waves secretly sent by the noble ladies around him, and just took Makichi's hand and started the next dance.

Many aristocratic ladies secretly hated, obviously Siperel's reputation was so bad, why was the most handsome gentleman in the audience still so obsessed with her today?

"If you don't change dance partners, they all hate me." Maki chuckled and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

The smile in Ulysses' eyes almost drowsy her: "None of them are as beautiful as you, I just want to dance with the most beautiful girl in the audience." ”

Rao is Ying Qi has already experienced three planes, and in the face of such a love attack by Ulysses, he is still a little unable to parry.

After dancing four dances in a row, Maki Qi finally couldn't stand still, just as the music gradually stopped.

Ulysses handed her a glass of brandy, and just as Lauries appeared dressed up, everyone looking at her.

The Countess smiled and introduced Flowers, who lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed her head slightly, and saluted.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly pushed to the peak, the ladies gathered together to laugh and chat, and the gentlemen chatted politely, but their eyes all looked at the ladies intentionally or unintentionally.

The corners of Mu Qi's lips hooked up a chuckle, and he said casually: "Actually, this kind of coming-of-age ceremony is very laborious and not too efficient. ”

"How?"

"If the ladies of the same age are brought together in Keane every year, and the gentlemen introduced by the royal family to the nobility are unified, and then the social month of January is extended to four months every year, this will not only stimulate Keane's economy, but also divert the attention of the nobles to Keane, and this event will be organized by the royal family, and the influence of the royal family among the nobles will be increased."

The coming-of-age ceremony for each adult girl is held in the manor of the fiefdom, and every year the nobles gather in a different fief, but Keane's royal family gradually disappears, and only the court ball every three years will make the nobles of Norton gather in Keane.

Just like when Siperel was still the Marquise Richardson, the Marquis Richardson's fief was almost the most willing place for the nobles to go, even more so than Keane.

Ulysses' eyes lit up, and he stared at the blonde woman in front of him for a long time, and felt more and more that she was different from the rumors.

"The nobles won't agree to the ban on coming-of-age ceremonies, right?"

Maki Qi took a sip of brandy, sneered and said: "No, now most of the nobles have to maintain the expenses of the fiefdom and their own façade, and they can't make ends meet, but the coming-of-age ceremony is a huge expense, but it can't be simplified, otherwise it will only make other nobles scoff, which means that the children have no way to have a better marriage partner, and now that all the coming-of-age ceremonies are banned, who is so stupid to disagree?" ”

"Isn't it a huge expense to extend Social Month to four months, with all the costs going to Keane?"

Ju Qi turned his head to look at him and chuckled, "These expenses are also spent in the fiefdom, not to mention that they are nothing compared to the coming-of-age ceremonies that entertain most of the nobles. ”

Ulysses's green eyes were full of amazement, and he looked at her with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Miss Siperl, you are more interesting than I thought. ”

At this moment, Henry, the butler, squeezed over from a distance and whispered, "Miss Sipel, the lord asked you to go to the library. ”

"Father is looking for me now?"

"Yes, I would like to discuss with you about the Marquis of Richardson." Henry made a gesture of please.

Juqi smiled slightly at Ulysses: "Unaccompanied." ”

followed Henry upstairs and walked to the door of the library, Henry helped her open the door, and Ying Qi slowly walked in.

There was no light in the library, only a dim fire burning in the fireplace, which made the whole library dim and ambiguous.

Ju Qi suddenly felt that something was wrong in her heart, she subconsciously looked back, but she heard a click, and the tall door behind her was locked by Henry from the outside.

At this moment, the figure of a man slowly stood up on the sofa with his back to her, his figure was faintly discernible in the light of the fire, and his black and white tuxedo showed that he was very tall, slightly fat, a middle-aged man, but by no means Count Clovis.

Ju Qi sneered in her heart, she was waiting for her here! She said that Cloris could tolerate herself wearing a dress that was even more beautiful than her, because it was like this!

"Who are you?"

The man slowly turned around and smiled at her, "Miss Sipel, long time no see." ”

Ying Qi saw his appearance clearly, and only felt a little familiar, in Siper's memory, she should have seen it, she tried to recall, and finally opened her mouth tentatively, "Marquis Ferdinand?" ”

Marquis Ferdinand stepped forward with a smile, took her hand and kissed her gently: "I feel honored to be remembered by you." ”

After he finished kissing the hand, he still didn't mean to let go, so he pulled back his hand vigorously.

"Lost company." Maki Qi turned around and went to open the door.

The Marquis Ferdinand just looked at her and smiled: "The door is locked from the outside, you can't get out." ”

The eyebrows were cold: "Marquis Ferdinand, you are a gentleman. ”

The Marquis Ferdinand laughed disappreciatively: "Your father has promised you to be my mistress, and I have come a priori to inspect the goods today." ”
