Chapter 330: Lotja's Loneliness
Duke Flor's face finally softened. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In his opinion, this was a test for His Majesty Bogard's envoy.
It's just that with Luo Sijia on his side, Wu Feng thinks, how can this be like his father-in-law is taking the school exam?
"Rosegard, and His Majesty Bogard's envoy, Mr. Gregard. Come with me to your majesty tomorrow. Duke Flor, the strongest commander in the empire, gradually calmed down: "Constantinople's grain and grass reserves are very sufficient, and the city defense is also very strong, but it has been besieged for a long time, and the morale of the city has been depleted after all. Rosegar, you've succeeded in bringing back the Heart of Glass, which will help to uplift people. β
"So, Mr. Envoy. I will ask the maid to arrange the best room for you. β
At this moment, Rosjia spoke softly: "Father, it's not too late, I want to talk to Tian Chang in my own reception room." β
Duke Flor frowned: "Don't forget, you, like your sister, are girls who have been betrothed to be married at a very young age!"
Hearing this, Wu Feng was inexplicably shocked in his heart.
Obviously he already has two wives, but he has a feeling of jealousy in his heart!
Luo Sijia just smiled at this: "Father, Tian Chang is just my friend. He's Uncle Bogard's right-hand man, and he's saved my life several times, can't I even talk to him in my own home?"
"It's because he's saved your life a few times that he needs to avoid suspicion more and more. Duke Flor's voice was cold: "He escorted you outside, and this is our Flor family." β
"When my daughter grows up, she should have her own judgment and way of doing things. Rosegar's words were calm, but she did not give in at all: "Being influenced by some so-called gossip does not seem to be in line with the rules of a knight. β
Duke Flor's face turned blue when he arrived.
The truth he taught his daughter was used by her daughter to refute herself.
But that's absolutely true.
If Losgar could be chaste and temperate, she wouldn't have to care what others thought of her.
Could it be that Duke Flor could not trust his daughter?
Seeing such an old stubborn situation, Wu Feng almost clapped his hands.
"Go ahead. β
Duke Flor suppressed his anger and said.
He has always been a principled person, even in the face of his own daughter, he will not be forceful.
Rosegar's reception room, on the southwest side of the mansion, was small but exquisitely furnished, with velvet-filled sofas covered with soft seal skin, and a faint fragrance from the clean room.
Rosegar removed her heavy plate armor and replaced herself with a long pleated dress like a princess, which looked elegant and luxurious.
She poured coffee for Wu Feng with her own hands, and smiled softly: "Hall Master Wu Feng, sit down." β
Wu Feng's eyes swept around the reception room, and found that there were many cute bear puppets on the shelves against the wall, and several were also arranged on the desk and coffee table.
"You like these things?"
Wu Feng took a sip of coffee and asked.
Rosegar nodded without embarrassment.
"In the forest, bears are vicious and cruel creatures. But if it appears in front of people in the form of a puppet, it makes people feel warm. β
Wu Feng was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that Rosegar had said that he was a person with a warm heart.
"Lotscar, you're also lonely?" Wu Feng asked.
Rosegar suddenly gloomy and nodded silently.
Byzantium is too old an empire, and a big family like Flor doesn't know how many years it has been inherited.
And the Western set of etiquette is much more elaborate than the East.
Rosegar is a true knightess, but she has a defiant side in her heart.
Like the occasional cunning, or even - disgust with the marriage contract that has been arranged since childhood?
Thinking of this question, Wu Feng was excited and a little frightened.
Because he already has Xue Xiyan and Yun Hailan, he shouldn't be tempted by other girls.
After all, Su Lanjin is her biological sister, and Qi Qi and Yu Ruyan are just subordinates and playthings, to be honest.
Lotsgar had already held a slightly larger brown bear doll in her arms, and her gesture was gentle.
Wu Feng carefully talked to her about all the situation in Constantinople, and then finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "...... is your fiancΓ©?"
Rosegar's one-year-old sister Siddie is married to the son of the Marquis of Brady, known as the "God of Wind".
In such a family, this is a political marriage that could not be more obvious.
So who will Lotscar, as her sister, marry? Could it be Constantine XV himself? Let Lotsjia go into the palace to be a concubine who is more than a dozen years older than her and can almost be her father's guy?
If this is the case, Wu Feng feels that he can't accept it.
"His Majesty's youngest brother, Prince Eugen, is the same age as me, handsome, and not bad at cultivation. This is Rosegaard's reply: "Your Majesty loved him very much, and when Egypt was stormed by Scuri and was about to fall, he hoped that His Majesty would send his brother over as king, hoping to gain the support of Byzantium, but His Majesty refused, because he did not want to risk his own brother's life. β
Wu Feng felt a sense of loss in his heart.
In this case, she is really a talented woman, with the same rank and a very compatible age.
He and Lotsjia have always deliberately kept a certain distance from each other, like gentlemen and ladies, even if the two sides have lived and died together several times.
Because both sides have scruples in their hearts.
However, Rosejia is one year older than Wu Feng, that is, she is now twenty-three years old, but she has not officially married, which is really strange.
......
The next day, Constantine XV met with Wu Feng and Lotsjia in a secret hall.
There were five more people on the side.
Sitting in second place, Wu Feng knew that it was Lotsjia's father, Duke Flor, known as "Thor", who can be described as the chief minister of the empire today.
Nowadays, Byzantium military is more important than politics, and his rank is of course above that of civil servants.
However, someone was still sitting in front of the Duke of Flor.
But Wu Feng heard Luo Sijia talk last night and knew who this person was.
The man was about forty years of age, with curly blonde hair, a high nose, slightly sunken blue eyes, a slight beard, and a high-ranking clerical robe studded with gold, silver, and crystal insignia.
This is none other than the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, Cade.
In the West, religion has a huge power. For example, Bogard wanted to weaken the Zoroastrian religion to obtain land funds, but he could only pretend to massacre the Nyonja party, and in Byzantium, in the same way, the Orthodox patriarch was able to occupy a higher position than the imperial marshal.
In the following three, Constantine XV introduced Wu Feng one by one, namely Lan Jing, the prime minister of the empire, the Marquis of Brady, the deputy marshal, known as the "god of wind", and Pu Chaojun, the deputy prime minister and minister of finance.
Of the three, Aquamarine was a little older, in his fifties like Rosegaard's father, and Marquis Bretty and Pu Chaojun were both in their early thirties, about the same age as Constantine XV.
Constantine XV's father Constantine XIV was the famous monarch of the revival of Byzantium, he successfully resisted the invasion of Egypt across the sea, and occupied a large amount of land in Poland and Lithuania, but because of the heir problem, he wanted to abolish the eldest son and replace the third son, and was attacked by Constantine XV and his henchmen, Constantine XV's third brother and his biological mother were killed on the spot, and Constantine XIV was also seriously injured and died in that coup.
But in that coup d'Γ©tat, the older generation of former ministers were almost completely purged, so the current Byzantine high-ranking officials are not too old. (To be continued.) )
