"Why is it coming?" said the old king kindly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The lady of the palace had already added a chair herself, and placed it between Frederick and the king, just like a table of poker, and surrounded the table. The empress calmly sat down with her skirt down, bowed her head and whispered, "The palace is boring, so take a few steps to relax." ”

The old king had already put a pigeon on the queen's plate. Frederick's eyes almost popped out when he saw it, and a voice slammed into his chest to come out: "Don't eat!

Elena hesitated for a moment, picked up the knife and fork, cut a slice obediently, and chewed it slowly in her mouth, as if she was used to this domineering dictatorship, and did not make any expression.

Frederick was in awe of the Empress's endurance.

"This is Count Frederick, you may know him. The King generously introduced the young Earl to the Empress, "not only a knight who would later be loyal to you, but also a distant relative with whom the royal family had a close connection." ”

Prince Ferdinand laughed and interrupted the introduction: "Under the arrangement of the Emperor on which the sun never sets, the distant relatives of the Habsburgs are all over the world, and while we speak, perhaps the inheritance of a certain country has fallen to your account books again." ”

"Maximilian I left a message of great benefit to the royal family," said the old king, who also laughed happily: "Marriage, Habs, go and marry happily! ”

The Empress and Frederick silently bowed their heads and ate the unpalatable pigeon pie, swallowing tears and blood.

"Are you still used to Wiener?" said the Empress politely for two seconds before wiping her red lips with a napkin in both hands as the two old men laughed smugly.

When Frederick heard this, his heart burst through his ribs and drifted into the clouds, leaving only the corpse sitting at the table, his whole body full of numbing hormones surging in his veins. He nodded and said, "I live in the same life as the soldiers, and there is no corner of the world that I can't get used to, Your Majesty." ”

Accustomed to his arrogance, Elena smiled at him, nodded her head slightly, bowed her head and continued to cut the pigeon pie, carefully borrowing food to talk to him: "I have heard a lot about you, and there are so many praises about you, that they have drifted into the court like the smell of velelvet flowers that overflows the whole city. ”

Frederick was anxious to know what she was thinking, looked at her offended, and asked, "Then when you see me in person, will you stop like a fidelweiss flower?"

Elena didn't expect him to be more aggressive than a forest fire, and without a word, she went to the house to uncover the tiles, and her first reaction was to look up at her father. She saw that the old king and the prince had somehow lost interest in chatting, and were quietly staring at Frederick.

The palace lady looked at Frederick obsessively, and thought fearfully that in front of the old king, the new emperor, and the powerful prince of the provinces, Frederick's molestation with the empress was tantamount to sending her to death. But he still seized the opportunity to test the empress's thoughts at any cost, this impulsive enthusiasm for love, made the palace lady fascinated, and her mind was full of prayers: "Marry such a husband, every day will be as enthusiastic as a newlywed! Come and trample on me, love me, crush my reserve bravely!"

Elena felt that Frederick's eyes were welding torches, and if she looked at him, she would turn into ice and snow. So she did not dare to look at anyone, and pretended to be interested in the disgusting pigeon pie, and concentrated on cutting the food, and said lightly: "In fact, I know that there are many noble court Van Clines who stop for you, hoping to live in the fragrance of flowers for the rest of your lifeβ€”among them, some of them have inherited a large inheritance and a grange, and only lack romantic love." Isn't that kind of carefree marriage something that the world can't ask for?"

Frederick's face stiffened. He frowned and looked up to see Prince Ferdinand staring at him suspiciously, while the old king glanced at him and Elena suspiciously. Frederick felt danger coming to his face, and immediately instinctively became hypocritical, touched his head and laughed awkwardly, and exclaimed in a cramped and proud voice: "Ahhh

The old king burst into laughter, which shocked Elena and frowned slightly: "You are definitely worthy of a beautiful and decent court Van Khan! Dear Frederick, you are an earl, you and the ladies and ladies in the palace can be regarded as the right family!"

Prince Ferdinand caught a glimpse of the lady of the palace with an expectant face, and burst into a thunderous laugh, as if the higher the volume, the more sincere it became: "The king is right, even if you steal one of the emperor's cherished female officials, it will barely be enough!

The palace lady was so happy that she stood with her head bowed, but kept glancing at Frederick, whose face was pale, expecting him to see her flush and shyness.

Elena didn't think it was funny at all, and didn't understand why the man was cheering for the joke with his own laughter. She hated his arrogant vulgarity, looked at Frederick, and smiled reluctantly: "I won't hold a grudge, just be happy." ”

Even though Frederick pursed his lips, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't restrain his disappointment and annoyance, and bluntly refused with shyness: "I'm sorry, maybe I won't think about marriage until I am an adult...... Honor and merit are the life of a knight, and it seems to be the norm to postpone marriage now. ”

Prince Ferdinand won a great victory, and smiled with satisfaction: "Then your subordinates should be in a hurry." As she spoke, she laughed again, and Elena looked like someone had shot her in the ear, and she almost turned her head to cover her ears.

Elena couldn't eat, and she couldn't talk anymore, so she confessed to her father and left, turned around and went back to the palace to deal with government affairs, but when she left, she pricked up her ears and heard that her father was patting Frederick's shoulder to show affection: "The William family and the royal family should move more between each other, otherwise they will be unfamiliar." Let's have afternoon tea tomorrow, there will be a magic audition at night, and then we will go. At night, the lower palace is a great place to escape the heat. ”

When Elena heard this, the corners of her lips curled, and she turned her head to look at Frederick, and wanted to take a look and leave, but she didn't expect Frederick to be like an eagle, and she could sense the gaze of others, and she glanced at her in an instant, and as soon as her eyes met, sparks exploded in mid-air, so hot that Elena turned around and hurried away, thinking in fear all the way: "He's angry? God, he's so horrible when he's angry." Thinking all the way about "what is there to be angry about", and finally felt that Frederick might have been disgusted by the combination of the Pigeon, the old king, and Prince Ferdinand, after all, the three poisons gathered together, and the power was already invincible.

"The palace lady" Rita trotted to catch up with the empress in the scorching sun, first whipped the maid with her gaze to hold the umbrella, and then timidly thanked the empress: "Your Majesty, I am so grateful that you can speak for me." ”

"Then go to St. Stephen's Cathedral to find the parish priest, the clergy will contact Frederick in your place, not only very decent, but also more likely to succeed. Elena ran forward with a blank face, not wanting Rita to see her expression: "It's good that you're happy." ”

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Rita was grateful, her voice as thin as a snort. Turning her head and glaring at the maid again, the maid was so frightened that she opened the jammed parasol in a panic, and chased after His Majesty with the umbrella and skirt.
