Chapter 633: Can You Hug Me?
Lola did exactly what she said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After entering the venue, he kicked Ye Qingxuan away and ignored him. I didn't bother to talk to other people, and walked directly to the old scholars in the corner, so that this party was an academic exchange meeting, and I had a good conversation with those historians.
Leaving Ye Qingxuan alone, surrounded by the 'Wild Bee Wave Butterfly', he was clumsy from left to right, and was almost submerged. Fortunately, a life-saving straw was grasped at the last moment.
Tristan.
The former deputy head of the Knights of the Round Table, after Lancelot's death, he understood that he was being used and was disheartened, and after handing over all his power to Ye Qingxuan and Christine, he stepped down.
Since then, he has lived in seclusion and rarely has contact with the outside world.
His appearance was a life-saving gospel for Ye Qingxuan.
Tristan is now over 50 years old, and although his hair is mottled, he is still as strong as a middle-aged man. Among the Knights of the Round Table, he himself was known for his stern image of seriousness and unsmiling.
This is a fairly standard knight, who adheres to his creed, dedicates his life to the kingdom, and is also quite unlikable and old-fashioned among the nobility.
With him by his side, there is no worry that others will come to disturb him.
A casual glance of the blind left eye was enough to disperse the group of soft-footed shrimp that had never even killed chickens.
And the embarrassing thing is that Ye Qingxuan has nothing to say to him.
Tristan has always had few words, cherishing words like gold, and his personality is a square and dignified character that Ye Qingxuan can't take at all. When you meet this kind of person, you don't even think it's appropriate to make a joke.
Talk about women? No kidding.
Talking about state affairs......
Ye Qingxuan didn't care about state affairs at all, he directly threw his work to Gavin, the affairs of the inquisition to Stone, and the work of the schedule to Lola, and he ran outside every day and didn't go home.
On the contrary, it was Tristan who was quite rare to persuade Ye Qingxuan in a tactful tone, and bothered a lot about state affairs. After all, he is the Queen's Minister of the Seals, and all major decrees need him to be sealed. What's more, there are also part-time jobs for Prince Avalon and Vice-Chancellor Anglo.
After repeating the weather dozens of times, Tristan also sensed his embarrassment, shook his head slightly, raised his glass and said, "If Your Highness doesn't think I'm dull here, then deign to waste a little time with my old man."
There's nothing good about it here, it's just quiet. ”
Ye Qingxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been pardoned: "Then please." ”
For the rest of the day, he and Tristan sat on the couch in the corner of the ballroom, silently watching the people come and go, as if petrified.
After a long time, Ye Qingxuan thought of the report he received a few days ago, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Tristan, are you really not considering returning to the Knights? The Tristan family has always been the backbone of the Knights of the Round Table, the backbone of the Knights, without you, the Knights of the Round Table will lose more than half of their heritage. ”
"I have left the matter with Geraint to take over, he is a competent knight, with him in charge, the Knights will not have a problem. Tristan's iron hand touched his prosthetic eye, "Your Highness, I'm already old, and it's time for me to die in a hospital bed, so I shouldn't be in love." ”
When Ye Qingxuan heard this, he was suddenly gloomy: "The knight held the sword and died." ”
"I know. ”
Tristan sighed, "This has been the case with our ancestors throughout the ages, so let me be the dishonorable one." After so many years of hard work, there must always be a time to rest.
Next month, when the affairs of the royal capital are settled, I plan to leave Avalon. ”
"Where? Back to the fiefdom?"
"Well, my daughter built me a house by the lake, and I can go fishing when I have free time, and the freshwater fish there are very good, and the soup is very good.
Your Highness, don't worry, in half a year, my second son will be able to wear the armor of Tristan's inheritance as a qualified heir. Let him assist Christine in my place and serve His Majesty. ”
Tristan has made up his mind, and even an heir has been found. When Ye Qingxuan heard this, he couldn't keep it, so he had to bow his head and sigh: "Then I wish you a happy retirement." ”
Tristan smiled rarely, picked up his glass, and drank the champagne down.
The sound of the music sounded.
It's finally officially begun.
On the white stone steps, Mary finally entered the banquet hall at the announcement of the celebrant.
To everyone's surprise, he was not dressed as solemnly as before, but wore a simple evening dress, his long golden hair was coiled up, and the hem of the white silk skirt brushed past the steps as he progressed. In the fluttering, the color of the ankle is faintly revealed.
After a few succinct sermons, as is customary, Mary has no intention of maintaining her majesty and dignity, but simply raises her glass: "Mother loved the unrestrained ball when she was alive, and you don't have to be restrained, cherish the good times, and have fun." ”
With Mary's movements, everyone raised their glasses as the waiter served.
Then everyone's eyes looked at Ye Qingxuan.
As is customary, it is the highest ranking person here who toasts the queen, and there is nothing to care about. It's just that when everyone's eyes swayed between Ye Qingxuan and Mary, they became ambiguous.
The dress is unexpectedly very commensurate.
It's like a negotiated agreement.
Ye Qingxuan didn't let this somewhat complicated atmosphere last too long, stretched out his hand, raised the wine glass from the waiter's tray, and said in a deep voice: "May God bless me Anglu, and my king bless me." ”
"My king bless me!"
The aristocrats pandered in unison, drinking.
Ye Qingxuan sipped champagne, skimmed the people around him, and was about to retreat to the side, but a hand stretched out behind his back and lightly pushed him on the back.
He took a step forward, stumbling a little, and almost made a fool of himself.
With a slight flick of his fingers, the spilled wine instantly returned to the wine glass, as if he had taken a step forward casually, drank the champagne in the glass, put his hand in the tray, and glared at Lola, who was not too busy to be busy.
Lola didn't care about the annoyance in her eyes, and her smile grew more and more pleasant.
Mary also sensed his embarrassment, and a smile curled into her lips.
And seeing Ye Qingxuan's actions, everyone's eyes fell, and he became the focus again. Combined with his strides, there was a hint of realization as they exchanged glances with each other.
Ye Qingxuan coughed lightly, did not show an embarrassed expression, continued to move forward, walked straight towards Mary, and in front of everyone, bent down and saluted, and stretched out his palm:
"Tonight's first dance, can Your Majesty enjoy it?"
Mary looked at Ye Qingxuan, who was forced to drive ducks to the shelves, and seemed to be smiling. When he was slightly embarrassed, he stretched out his wrist and put it in Ye Qingxuan's hand:
"You have to do it. ”
Soon, the crowd moved to both sides, giving way to the center of the dance floor.
Ye Qingxuan led the smiling Mary to stand still, and the orchestra conductor not far away raised his baton, and the soft melody floated in the air.
Fortunately, Ye Qingxuan had chewed two court dance textbooks before he came, although his movements were a little stiff and he didn't make a big fool. It's just that when dancing, the distance is sometimes too close.
Sticking to the queen in his arms, the material of the white silk rubbed against the palm of his hand, smooth and ambiguous, making him a little unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, the embarrassment did not last long, and in the midst of the gentle dance steps, Mary asked softly:
"How's this dress? The tailor came out in a hurry, does it look right?"
"The style is charming, and I am fascinated by it. ”
Ye Qingxuan kept smiling and did not hesitate to praise. This dress is really good with Mary's figure, and it is rare that it fits her temperament and maintains a sense of majestic distance.
And when paired with Ye Qingxuan's dress, which is more like a uniform, it doesn't look abrupt.
The tailor has taken care of it.
It's not easy.
He swallowed and his throat hurt a little.
"Really?"
Mary raised her eyes slightly, looking a little playful: "Very nervous?"
"Yes. ”
Ye Qingxuan bowed his head, couldn't help sighing, and replied honestly: "Your Majesty favors you, and you are flattered by it." ”
Mary looked at his complicated expression, discerning his embarrassment and nervousness, and smiled slyly.
"No way, Your Royal Highness, you have to think about it for me. ”
In the middle of the dance steps, she moved forward slightly, as if she was attached to Ye Qingxuan, her lips opened and closed in Ye Qingxuan's ear, and her voice was soft: "I'll wronged you today."
At least...... Don't make them feel embarrassed by a queen who doesn't get a response for a unilateral court. ”
"Sorry, my bad. ”
Mary smiled and shook her head: "Don't say anything boring, take me to dance." ”
"Good. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded and followed Mary's movements intently.
With the change of the dance music, holding the slender waist in his arms, gently whirling, I felt the stiff five fingers in my other hand stretch slightly, and there was a thin layer of sweat.
The perfume carries the smell of flowers and plants, lingering on the tip of the nose, as if there is nothing.
In the soft melody, the quiet breathing lingered in his ears, and he sometimes felt that the queen in his arms was like a mist, and at least let go of her hand, she could be free from the shackles of the earth and fly in the sky.
But Mary held his hand the whole time, and looked at him quietly, smiling, and her eyes were focused and serious, as if she were looking at some miracle.
It wasn't until the dance music slowly ended and Ye Qingxuan stopped dancing that he felt that time was so fast, and everything just now was as brief as an instant.
"Mr. Ye. ”
Amid the applause around him, he heard Mary's voice.
"Can you hug me?"
She looked at Ye Qingxuan and whispered, "It's okay to do it once." ”
Ye Qingxuan was not silent, but just stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, as if in the past in the Kingdom of Shadows, feeling her breathing and trembling heart.
"You can take as long as you want. He whispered.
Mary smiled, pressed to his chest, and listened to the familiar rhythm: "Thank you. ”
Ye Qingxuan's eyes drooped.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Mary's voice: "In this way, the ball is not completely useless, it is better to hold it once a day." ”
Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and felt the urge to vomit blood.
For the sake of dancing, your majesty, are you there! Now is the time for Anglo to be in ruins, when will you take the lead in a lavish ball, and sing every night!
"Ahem, Your Majesty, if there is anything in the future, you can just send a letter to summon me, and there is no need to spend a lot of time and waste money and money. Ye Qingxuan hurriedly stopped, but saw a happy smile on the corner of Mary's raised mouth.
"Is this an active tryst? I am very relieved that the prince is so earnest. ”
“......”
Ye Qingxuan had a mouthful of old blood, and always felt that he had fallen into Mary's trap, but it was unexpected...... Not annoying.
"Don't worry, it won't bother you, as long as you don't hide from me in the future. ”
Mary let go of her hand contentedly, straightened her upturned collar for him, and then stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "I have time on Saturday afternoon." ”
Ye Qingxuan's eyes darkened.
