What the court ball will be like is no longer necessary to explain it again and again to our readers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Everything has two effects - positive and negative, from the positive side, dancing is always a pleasant and healthy form of entertainment; On the negative side, the cost of holding a ball might make more sense to help the poor.

Either way, the court ball, which had been talked about for months in Shurasa social circles, had finally begun.

Lan Feng took the invitation made of parchment and came to the door of the palace. He was probably the only guest who had come to the ball on foot, and that was what he thought when he saw the endless stream of carriages at the gate.

Michel Reims, dressed in a gilded Praetorian Guard dress, stood at the door, and he was entrusted with the responsibility of security at the scene today, which is generally just a task of honor. Even if there were saboteurs, they should have been found out by the Praetorian Guards at the city gate, and if he could get a ball invitation and sneak in, then Michelle would have no choice but to do anything.

The eldest son of the Lance family was behind the master of ceremonies who accepted the invitation, and he could easily recognize Lan Feng, who was still some distance away. Michelle had heard about the stranger from the crown prince, the princess, and the Rednap brothers, and Lan Feng's special appearance made it easy for Michelle to take a seat.

"Your Excellency Lan Feng, you're really early." Michelle took the initiative to take Lan Feng's invitation before the master of ceremonies.

"There's nothing out of place, right?" Lan Feng asked cautiously.

"Not at all, I hope you have a nice night." Michelle smiled and posed for an invitation.

"I wish you the same." Lan Feng replied in a somewhat rusty mainland dialect.

Michelle watched Lan Feng enter the hall, he didn't immediately make any judgments about the other party, and through two or three sentences of dialogue, he wanted to see clearly a stranger, and only an overly conceited person would think he could do it.

Lan Feng entered the hall, but he soon felt a little uncomfortable, and anyone would always feel uncomfortable when they were observed as a rare animal. Lan Feng is now in such an environment, and his clothes and appearance are different. Although the nobles of Shurasa knew that such an occasion might involve many envoys and nobles from countries with different customs, most of them were not so high that they could not judge people who were different from them.

However, fortunately, Crown Prince Lehman also found him quickly. The arrival of the crown prince made the people feel that they should have enough respect for the stranger, though not enough to dispel their curiosity. Of course, Lehman knew this, and he was also curious about this envoy with strange medical skills, which could make a boy of his age feel good enough about others. Therefore, after exchanging a few words with Lan Feng, the crown prince took the initiative to introduce him to the nobles of Shurasa.

"It turns out that you are the rumored miracle doctor, what a blessing to ......"

The result of the facts, of course, was that the Mastarians completely ignored Lan Feng's official status as an envoy and were more interested in his situation as a doctor. The topic gradually evolved from Lan Feng's identity to someone's relatives and friends who were patients treated by Lan Feng, and then gradually began to develop in the strange direction of seeking medical treatment on the spot.

The Hayes family and the Redknapp family entered the hall together, of course, this was not because they had any tacit understanding, but the result of the Redknapp father and son waiting at the gate for more than ten minutes. Naturally, the twins followed their parents to the formal occasion, and Michelle's familiarity remained the same—the Redknapp brothers followed Fiona very attentively.

"You're beautiful today." Michelle complimented Miss Hayes like this.

"Thank you for the compliment." Fiona graciously returned the salute.

Later, Princess Renosque also arrived in the hall, and Michelle met the princess for the first time. Sure enough, he thought to himself. As a nobleman who frequented the palace and was familiar with the royal family, it occurred to Michelle that if this princess made an exchange with his own one, it might make him feel a lot better.

Princess Nastasya was the most important guest in the scheduled plan, and since she was already there, it was time for the ball to begin. Michelle was about to enter the hall, and he didn't want to miss the chance to dance to Fiona on the first piece.

But at this time, a guest who was not scheduled made him have to delay for a while.

A tall man walked in from outside the door with an entourage, and Michelle knew at a glance that the other party was a figure from the military. But he really couldn't think of anyone else from the military who should have come today and wasn't there. When the other party walked in, the Hitarus-style robe allowed him to at least determine the nationality of the other party. This is a good-looking, imposing man, his military aura is of the same type as that of Todd, Earl of Reims, or he is more chic than the commander of the northern army of Mastar. Michelle felt that his father was better suited to stay at the sand table in the war room, and the man in front of him was more appropriate to appear at the triumphal ceremony.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" Michelle went up and stopped the man.

"Oh, what a presumptuous, I was just passing by Shurasa temporarily, and when I heard that it was Princess Theodora's birthday ball, I thought I couldn't help but give a birthday present to a lady, so I came to visit on my own initiative." The tall man smiled, "I'm Minox, I'm from Hitarus. ”

"You say you're Prince Minox of Hitaros?" Michelle was a little surprised, "I'm sorry, I'm Michelle Lance of the Praetorian Guard, and I don't know you, so I can't let you in until I'm sure of your identity." However, I can inform Her Majesty the Empress on your behalf and see what she decides, you see? ”

"It makes perfect sense, son, that you are indeed as faithful as your father. I can wait here for a while. The man who called himself Minox didn't mind.

Soon, Sigrani learned the news, and she instructed Michelle to let the man in. Because many of the people of Mastar knew him, no one dared to impersonate the prince on such occasions.

Minox strode into the hall, and his arrival immediately caught the attention of the audience. This was not only because he was tall enough, but also because he visited Mastar many times after Canites came to power, and left a deep impression on the nobles of Shurasa.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are still so radiant, as beautiful and dazzling as the shining sun, and I salute you on behalf of my king." Minox stepped forward to greet the Empress, and then kissed the back of her hand graciously. For the men of the Langner family, it would be against the ancestral precepts to see a beautiful woman like Sigrani and not to be attentive.

"You can be considered an uninvited guest, and visiting Pharynsi at the end of winter won't make you Hitaros feel too cold?" Sigrani asked with a smile.

"To visit my brother and sister-in-law is just to visit them on behalf of the whole family, how can the movement between relatives not be warmly cared for by the family."

"Indeed," continued Sillani, "His Highness Nastasya of Reynolds is here, and you two neighbours will have much to talk about." ”

"The black swan of Reynoldske? You should know that the men of our family could not explain to their ancestors without greeting the beautiful lady warmly. I'll get to know her later. ”

The supernumerary guests have already arrived, so of course the ball should be the beginning, and to show everyone that the protagonist of today's ball is a fixed opening line.

"Thank you for coming," Higrani said herself, "for the birthday ball of a girl who is about to come of age, after which she will no longer be a child, but a complete adult. Let my daughter, Celedora, the princess of Marstar, announce the beginning of today's ball. ”

Theodora slowly walked to her mother's throne with her skirt in hand. She wore a crimson evening gown tonight with gold lace trim that showed off the curves of her body. The jewellery is dominated by rubies, especially the pair of ruby drop earrings carved into the shape of roses. Although Theodora's hair was coiled, there was still a bangs that covered her right eye. But to tell the truth, if the Mastarians present had not known the princess's temperament for a long time, they would have been amazed at what a wonderful woman she was. And the reality is that many people are struggling inwardly at the moment, telling themselves over and over again not to be fooled by such beautiful appearances.

"So, I declare that today's dance has officially begun, and I hope you all have a great time tonight."

In this case, everyone who has a dance partner is ready to do their first dance with their dance partner. If you don't have a dance partner, you should take the time to decide on your partner before the song starts. Obviously, Miss Haisi had no need to worry about this, because all three men were vying to invite her.

Although the Redknapp brothers usually fight each other this point, today they have to face a more difficult opponent - the eldest son of the Lance family, so the two brothers are very united at the moment to keep Michelle out. Of course, Michelle was not willing to give up, because of his duties, he had not seen Miss Hayes for almost half a year. How could he give up the opportunity to those two dragon knights who were idle all day long.

Fiona was still hesitating, and she tried to get past the three tall men, wanting to see how the others were doing. Unfortunately, Miss Hayes was not able to see who she was looking for, because there were so many people. In desperation, she had no choice but to ask her brother for help with her eyes. Fiore had already seen the eager eyes of several young ladies looking forward to him, but the thoughts of his twin sister always rushed into his mind the most quickly. So he had no choice but to smile apologetically at the young ladies and rush to his sister's rescue.

"Sister Huang, the first dance, dance with me." Prince Lehman went to his sister to dance for the first time, and he was full of confidence in it. First of all, the protagonist of the ball cannot but dance the first tune; Secondly, no one wants to compete with him for this opportunity.

But this time the crown prince's wishful thinking was wrong, and Prince Minox joined the competition, he was a foreigner, so naturally it was impossible to know that the whole of Shurasa was helpless. Cyodora glanced at her brother, then simply handed it to Prince Minox.

"Guests who come from afar deserve favoritism." Cyodora said to the prince with a smile.

"You're so hospitable." The men of the Landner family were naturally very proud of this honor.

The crown prince was thus abandoned by his cruel sister, and while he was staying there, Sigrani opened her mouth to remind him: "Go and invite Princess Nastasya, she is also a distinguished guest from afar." ”

"Yes, Mother." Lehman nodded to his mother, muttering something to the black swan in Reynosk. Nastasya happily agreed to Lehman's invitation.

As for Lan Feng, the official start of the dance party discouraged people's enthusiasm for continuing to hold the "Famous Doctor Lecture Hall", and he also fell into a state of desertion. This made Lan Feng breathe a sigh of relief, he had been worried about what he would do if someone invited him to dance. The emissaries from the Far East could now study the Westerners' balls with complete spectatorship.

When the first dance began, Prince Minox happily danced with the beauty. After a while, he began to pay attention to Princess Theodora's purple eyes that appeared behind her bangs.

"Your Highness's right eye, the color seems to be very special."

"Really? I don't think so. Saildora replied coldly.

"It's a lot like an old man I know." The prince said tentatively.

"Who's that? Presumably, His Royal Highness's deceased must have been a very famous figure, right? ”

"No, it's just a nobody." The prince has already made a proper guess.

On the other hand, Nastasya clearly sensed that Rayman was a little absent-minded, which was somewhat rude to a lady. But the black swan of Renolsk didn't care about the other party's rudeness, but what was the reason why Crown Prince Mastar was so depressed was more interesting to her. Nastasya has a good sense of observation, and Lehman is not mature enough to hide his emotions, so by the end of the song, Nastasya has grasped the general idea of what is going on.

When the first piece is over, the dance partners salute each other for a short break. Prince Minox, of course, sought out another princess without disobeying his ancestors, and he saw Nastasya next to a young man who was quite peculiarly dressed and looked.

"Hello, you must be Her Royal Highness Princess Nastasya." The "black swan" is very recognizable from the costumes.

"Who are you? Oh, let me guess, the only prince I haven't seen in Hitaros, Prince Minox, right? Nastasya said with a smile.

"You're really, what's the matter, by the way, Bingxue is smart." There's always nothing wrong with complimenting a lady.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness."

"Presumably, my brothers have already had the honor of dancing with you in Hitaros, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess would like to give me a light today?" The prince made a gesture of invitation.

"That's my pleasure, of course, but ......" Nastasya looked back at Lan Feng.

"Oh, sir, surely you wouldn't mind me getting such a priority, would you?" The prince asked.

"Please, please don't mind." Lan Feng hurriedly replied.

"Then I'm sorry." The prince picked up Nastasya's soft twing.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you yet." Nastasya tugged at the Prince.

"Also, you see how rude I am." The prince did not think that the young man was very important.

"Your Excellency Lan Feng, this is the elder brother of King Hitaros, His Royal Highness Prince Minox; His Royal Highness, this is His Excellency Lan Feng, an envoy from a distant eastern country. Nastasya generously introduced them.

"Oriental? Zignates? ”

"No, more distant than Zigner." Lan Feng has become accustomed to answering this question lately.

"Further afield? There is more than just the sea. The prince sighed, "I think you have come by boat, sailing on the sea is a very hard thing, and I went out to sea once when I was young because of a moment of curiosity, what an unforgettable journey." However, compared to the hardships of the journey, the fact that the expedition was able to meet Thorgrande Luce was an unexpected reward. ”

"Oh? Does His Royal Highness also know my mentor? Nastasya's eyes lit up.

"That's nature, and if you're willing to listen, I'll tell you more about it during the break." The prince was glad to have a topic that would arouse the beauty's interest, "But you must first tell me about his relationship with you." ”

"It's about to start, so let me tell you while you're dancing." Nastaxia smiled and pulled the prince up, "Lord Lan Feng, then let me leave for a while. ”

Lan Feng saw the two of them away, feeling a little stuffy in the hall, so he thought about going out to breathe. With that in mind, he had already arrived in the corridor outside the hall. The fresh air of the night came in with the April evening breeze in Shurasa, and Lan Feng took a deep breath and propped his hands on the railing of the cloister.

"Isn't this Lord Lan Feng, why don't you stay in the venue?"

Lan Feng turned his head and saw a beautiful female face, "Ah, it's Miss Floris, don't you have to go in?" ”

"What did the lord say, I am just a servant of Her Royal Highness the Princess, how could I enter that kind of occasion."

"Yes, bodyguards, attendants, and the like can only stay outside." Another man's voice interjected, "If you don't dislike it, let's have a drink together." ”

Lan Feng took the wine bag that the man tossed, tilted his head and poured some into his throat, "Thank you, Mr. Mazik." ”

He wiped his mouth and turned around and asked, "Miss Floris, would you like to drink some, it's still a little cold at night, you can warm up." ”

"Ah, ah, I don't need to." Floris bowed her head in refusal.

"Really? Well, give it back to you, Mr. Mazik. Lan Feng handed the wine bag back.

Mazik took the sac and took a big sip as well. "It doesn't taste good, but it's the same when you drink and eat, and the important thing is to see who you're with. Lan Feng, I still remember your stick technique last time, but I think it seems that it will be difficult to crack your tricks. We have a chance to practice and see. ”

"Lord Lan Feng's martial arts, it sounds very powerful, I also want to see it." Floris said.

"It's just some small tricks for self-defense, and it's not worth mentioning compared to those real masters in my country."

"You are a very modest person, not like a nobleman, especially not like a nobleman of Mastar." Mazik said.

"Lord Lan Feng is from the far east, across the sea, I'm afraid the people there are not the same as us." Floris said.

"Oh?" Mazik raised an eyebrow, "Is that really the case?" ”

"Indeed, I came here with my country's envoy ship, but unfortunately I am now alone in the storm we encountered."

"You said you were an envoy, did you also go to Falunci?" Mazik asked.

"That's the way to go, by the way, since I've been here, I've heard a lot of people talk about a man in Pharynsi, who seems to be a very famous person." Lan Feng said.

"He's a hero, that's what His Highness said." Flores replied.

"Everyone only sees his superficial brilliance, but how many people have noticed his toilful and lonely back?" Mazik was silent for a moment, and then muttered something faintly. "Okay, let's not talk about those big shots, Lan Feng, since you're going to Falunsi, then you might as well hire me, I'll be a good guide and bodyguard."

"Really? That's great, and having you on the road with you will make things a lot easier. ”
