Yuan Qi received the Duchess's promise, and was immediately overjoyed, but in the afternoon Yuan Qi had just sent off Madame Ginny, and a chamberlain from the palace came to the Duke's palace, and the arrival of the chamberlain made his plan to "walk" with the Duchess in the evening come to naught his plan to "walk" with the Duchess - the Queen's sister Sophia invited the Duchess to a party with him.

"It's really a businesswoman who doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river."

After the attendant officer left, Yuan Qi said with a pout.

"I understand a little bit about this, probably because the country is about to die, and I am still singing and dancing, but what does it mean to be a backyard flower?"

"Madame is really smart, that's what it means. As for the meaning of backyard flowers......"

A foreigner, who has never heard of such a thing but can guess the meaning of eight or nine, Lu Zhengdong also admires the Duchess's ice and snow intelligence, but the backyard flower was originally a brand name, but in the minds of many men, it has another meaning, Lu Zhengdong looked outside the study, and saw that the lady's maid was not there, so he explained to him the meaning of "backyard flower" in the duchess's ear.

"You...... It's bad enough......"

The Duchess also glanced around hurriedly, and her finger poked lightly at Yuan Qi's waist eye.

"Men are not bad, women are not ......"

Yuan Qi smiled lightly, flirting with the dignified and luxurious duchess, scolding and scolding, it was really a happy thing.

However, Yuan Qi did not lie about the worry of losing the country, although that bloody night thwarted the rebels and Dongying's rebellion attempts, Xifei did not seem to be greatly affected, and at this time the surface still looked prosperous and thriving. But in fact, it is as Yuan Qi said. It is indeed on the cusp of the storm. The slightest carelessness is in danger of ruining the country and the family.

Because Dongying sharpens his knife and Huo Huo wants to attack the Huaxing Empire, he must first cut off Xifei, the most wealthy foreign aid in Huaxing, so Dongying will never give up like this, the sneak attack will not succeed, the secret plan will not succeed, and even if it is a strong attack at that time, I am afraid that it will not hesitate. But many people in the kingdom are lucky, thinking of neutrality, so they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Left and right, make a lot of war money.

Seeing that Yuan Qi was thoughtful, the Duchess brushed her sideburns, and resumed plastic surgery, saying:

"You are wrong to blame Sophia for saying that, Sophia is not only beautiful, but also quite politically talented, the king is very sick and has little energy, and the crown prince is young, in fact, she handles a lot of government affairs. Having a party like this isn't just about having fun as you might think. It was to gather these powerful people of the kingdom, and at the same time, to discover the talents of the young nobles. You don't know, every party in Sofia is a big event......"

"Oh, this woman has such a strong appeal?"

"Sophia is the sister of the queen, and her family is one of the great nobles of Hephie, but she is still unmarried, and these young nobles dream of becoming the husband of the beautiful Sophia."

Yuan Qi couldn't help but say when he heard it:

"I see, but don't all the nobles of the kingdom have a crush on you? Where did you go? Isn't that stealing the limelight from you? I'm not going! ”

When the Duchess heard this, she couldn't help but wonder:

"What steals the limelight from me? I'm a duchess, not a young lady......"

The Duchess said, her eyes darkened.

Yuan Qi naturally knew the reason for the Duchess's gloomy expression, rolled his eyes, and said:

"I forgot about it, but you made a small mistake, ma'am."

The Duchess was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking:

"What little mistake?"

"It's true that you're a lady now, but you're not the duchess with a name, because since the night before, you've been the proper lady of Yuanqi. So when I go to the party place for a while, I don't want to deal with those little white faces. ”

When the Duchess heard this, she couldn't help but smoke and waves, and gently pulled her skirt and said:

"Got it, my husband."

It's really funny, Yuan Qi smiled, obviously the Duchess was like a woman in love, the whole person became radiant, and the melancholy hidden under that dignified face before was swept away, which made Yuan Qi even more happy.

The two of them packed up and went to the palace for a meeting, but when they arrived at the palace, the Duchess did not go with him to the scene of the party, but went to talk to the queen.

Yuan Qi went to the party place alone, as soon as he entered, Yuan Qi found that the duchess was really true, and sure enough, the head was moving, and he almost saw Sophia sitting on the throne at a glance, the outside world rumors are true, this Sophia is really beautiful and moving, this will she is listening carefully to the speech of a young nobleman, and every time the young nobleman speaks, she will applaud with many people.

As if encouraged by Sophia, the young nobleman became more and more excited, and all kinds of doctrines and opinions poured in, and he talked for a long time, and finally concluded without exhaustion:

"Miss Sophia, my opinion is that Heffy does not have to get involved in the battle between Huaxing and Dongying, but should take this opportunity to develop more shipping routes, because we Hephie is a maritime country, and the ocean is the foundation of Hefei's country!"

Seeing that the young nobles were in the limelight in front of Miss Sophia, many young nobles had unhappy faces, but no one stood up to object, it seemed that they couldn't find a reason to refute it, Yuan Qi sneered in his heart, and immediately said loudly:

"I think it's just your wishful thinking, if you want to sit back and wait for both sides to lose and strengthen yourself, you must have enough capital and strength, if you can't do this, it will be another ending, Heffy is rich, and he doesn't have a strong army, in the eyes of others, he is a big fat sheep to be slaughtered, and some countries want to eat it quickly.

Waiting for both sides to lose? There is no difference between actual and waiting to be killed.

There are three reasons for this.

First, if Huaxing is defeated, Dongying will destroy Hefei and become the emperor of Hefei to enslave Hefei.

Second, if Huaxing wins, Xifei's good days will come to an end, even if Huaxing does not destroy Xifei like Dongying, at least Xifei will be punished by high tariffs.

Third, that is, before launching the war against Huaxing, first capture Heaphy, which is actually the most likely, because in this way, Huaxing's largest foreign aid can be cut off, and the wealth plundered from Heffy can be used to invest in the war against Huaxing, so that the chance of victory is greater, this is a two-pronged thing, why not?

Gentlemen, wake up, the last bloody night is enough to explain a lot, and the next time the Dongying people come, it will not be a small fight like the bloody night, but the hammer of war will fall on the land of Hefey! ”

As soon as Yuan Qi's words came out, everyone was shocked, especially Sophia, who was even more beautiful...... (To be continued......)
