Caroline's hand rested in the crook of Philip's arm, the Imperial Princess supposedly clinging to her fiancée, and the well-dressed palace attendant bent over at ninety degrees, leading Philip to the council hall.

Lawrence, dressed in a silver gown and wearing a gold medallion, stood at the door of the hall to greet Philip, and behind him was an imperial minister in a full gown.

Today, they are all here to greet Philip on his triumphant return.

Seeing Lawrence, Philip hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to salute the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, how dare you be here to greet you. ”

Lawrence laughed loudly and shook Philip's hand, which was already aged with age spots, showing that its owner was in a very happy mood.

"Philip, you have done such a great service to the Empire, I should go out of the city to greet you. ”

Philip became even more frightened, and even said he didn't dare.

"The minister just did his duty, and it all relied on the support of His Majesty and the adults. ”

"Hehe, Philip, don't be modest, you have not only untied the knot of Bithynia, but also resolved the deep contradictions that have plagued Bithynia for a long time, and naturally deserve the courtesy of the royal and imperial authorities. ”

Caroline walked up to Philip, her bright face full of pride, in front of the most powerful people in Bugas, her fiancé was praised in person, Caroline felt that her face was also full of glory.

The situation in Bithynia is so rotten that all of these big men know it, and if someone else else is to deal with it, or a large-scale revolt of the miners will break out. Or even rebellion, either to help the nobles suppress the miners, to press the lid down for a while, but the next outbreak is likely to be more violent and deadly.

No matter how we deal with it, the contradictions will only deepen and aggravate.

However, Philip resolved the conflict, and judging from the feedback from Bithynia, the local nobles and commoners were extremely appreciative of the envoy, and some miners even planned to erect a statue of Philip.

"Come on, dear Philip, let's go in and say!"

Lawrence took Philip's hand and walked towards the chamber with his future son-in-law. Appears to be extremely affectionate.

Walk through the crowd that came out with Lawrence to greet Philip. Philip looked a little embarrassed, all the people present were senior ministers who were more senior than him, and if he walked in front of these old ministers as a young man in normal times, it would be considered too arrogant.

But. Led by the emperor. Even now Philip is sitting next to the Emperor's throne. No one dares to say anything, this is glory, and great merit must have glory to match!

Fortunately, Philip did not get carried away. When passing by these people, he didn't forget to nod his head, indicating that he couldn't stop and salute one by one.

The ministers of the royalist faction smiled back at Philip, and the greater Philip's achievements and more credits, the better it would be for them, and in the future, he would become the co-leader of the Royalist Party with Caroline, and it would be good for them to have a strong and authoritative leader.

Nicholas's relieved eyes, Dom's appreciative look, and the envious looks of some royalist parliamentarians were reflected in Philip's eyes one by one, giving him a great sense of accomplishment.

On the other side, there was the Minister of the Republican Party, Prime Minister Anthony, whose face changed very wonderfully, anger, annoyance, hatred, and all kinds of negative expressions flashed on his face.

The rest of the Republicans were all stiff-faced, like dead sons.

Before walking to the throne of His Majesty, Philip did not want to go up with Lawrence no matter what, that position did not belong to him now, even if he would marry Caroline in the future and stand there together, he could not go up directly now, the imperial power was sometimes very delicate, if it weren't for Lawrence having only one daughter, Caroline, their relationship would not be as good as it is now.

However, as a person who has made great contributions, Philip still has the qualifications to stand under His Majesty today, even his father Nicholas and Prime Minister Anthony are not qualified to compete with Philip for this position.

If you have made meritorious service, you must be rewarded, and it is necessary to add officials to knighthood.

The earl became a marquis, and the position of governor of Gallia could not be promoted again, and he could not let Gallia become independent to make Philip the king, but Philip was also installed with the false title of deputy prime minister of the Executive Yuan, and when he saw Anthony's angry nose, he knew how painful he was.

Although Philip will not be in charge of affairs in the Executive Yuan in the future, any decisions made by the Executive Yuan in the future must be notified to Philip in advance, and if he has different opinions, he can directly call Anthony to confront him.

The various departments under the Executive Yuan can no longer deliberately find excuses to block the financial support funds as they did a year ago, and now the finance ministers are all Philip's subordinates, if they dare to do this, even if the new vice prime minister of the Executive Yuan snorts his ears, no one will say anything.

The disrespectful guy is hostile to the entire bureaucracy, regardless of the party, this is the basic rule of politics.

The vice-chancellor of the empire in his twenties, although there is a factor that Philip will become the empress's husband in the future, but the speed of this promotion is unprecedented in Bugas.

Standing at the front of the council hall, feeling the eyes of all the people, Philip's heart seemed to float.

No one is uncomfortable with Philip at this time, not even the Republicans, who have always been against the royalists, surprisingly did not disagree, of course, some envious and hateful eyes do not count.

After the court, Caroline smiled at Philip and threw a wink at her father and went back to the palace with her father, today Philip got a position of power It seems that she has obtained a position of power, which Caroline was so excited that when she left, she forgot that she also secretly swore not to give Philip too much good look.

is promoted, and it is naturally celebrated.

As soon as the meeting dispersed, Charles took the initiative to bring a group of young royalist celebrities forward, saying that he would invite Philip to "Jasmine" to celebrate.

"Ha Lu Ha, Charles. 'Jasmine' or something, I heard that you are going to take the little granddaughter of the Marquis of Hyde, I am not like Uncle Charles and the Marquis of Hyde came to trouble me, so let's do it, today I will have a ball at the Blood Rose Manor, you must come!" Philip said with a smile.

Are you kidding!

Caroline was finally able to give herself a good face, and if she went to "Jasmine" herself, I am afraid that she would have to return to the way she was when she was in Bithynia.

However, communication between the nobles was still needed, as the future ruler of the royalist party if he was on top. will be alienated from supporters. It was also not conducive to Philip's future control of the royalists, so after politely refusing to go to Jasmine, Philip asked Charles to go to the Blood Rose Manor.

It has to be said that Philip is now more and more of a political creature.

——————

Good wine, beautiful people, beautiful music. These are all essential for the prom. But the aristocratic ball was more of a place of socializing.

Men and men. Expand your network, of course, it may also be a base. For example, Philip just saw a two-meter-tall strong man walking towards the back garden with a feminine boy in his arms.

The communication between women and women, the girlfriends compare with each other, and of course, it may also be lace edges, such as Philip watching two aristocratic girls in flower dresses hide hand in hand in the bathroom.

"Marlen, I'll burn all the flowers and plants in the back garden that have been trampled on......"

"Yes, young master. Dressed as a housekeeper, Mullen twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously he still couldn't accept the forbidden love between men and men.

With that, Philip prepared to go to the bathroom.

The lace love between women and women seems to be very yellow and beautiful, such as when it was Lobit, when he and Grace saw the passion of Miranda and her lover in the moonlight......

It's exciting to think about!

Do you go to the bathroom to peep, or do you go to the bathroom to peep?

It's a tough decision!

When you see Grace's long, burgundy hair, the decision is not so difficult.

Philip immediately greeted his lover with a smile on his face, and took Grace's tender little hand with a smile, "Honey, when did you come?"

"Why? Don't you want to see me? Looks like you're having a good time with Caroline in Bithynia!"

Grace looked at Philip with a smirk, and a wave of jealousy came out without concealing it. Philip felt that the men in the Middle East countries on the earth were very powerful in the past, and the four wives could be a bowl of water, but now there are only two of them by his side, so why does it feel like the backyard is going to catch fire.

"Where is it, I think about you every day!" Philip hurriedly put his arm around Grace's waist and looked affectionately into the woman's eyes.

"Really, how did I not know the truth? You never seemed to mention this woman when you were around me. ”

Caroline's words came out behind Philip, and suddenly the man felt that his soul was about to fly out.

Turning her head, the expressions on Caroline and Grace's faces were the same, and the vinegar on the two women seemed to be like the smell of old vinegar,

Auntie, it's not like you to sow discord, right?

I still have to have all my bones dismantled by Grace, a duke-level bloodliner, at night?

Philip hurriedly piled up a smile on his face, looked at Caroline and said, "Didn't you say that you haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and you want to accompany your father in the palace these days?"

Caroline withdrew her gaze from Grace's face and gently straightened Philip's collar: "As your fiancée, how can I not accompany you to the ball?

Shopping?

Philip's throat twitched, Auntie, if you want me to accompany you, you have to say it while the other person is away.

"No, you haven't been with me for a long time, and you're going to go shopping with me tomorrow!"

The lover's soft little hand is mixed in the crook of the man's arm, the soft chest is close to his arm, and the faint fragrance penetrates into the nostrils, making people feel like a happy day when they smell it.

That's how dating should be.

Men and women had sweet smiles on their faces, and their eyes were so hot that steel was about to melt.

However, when this combination becomes a man and two women, the eyes are also hot, and both women seem to want to melt each other with their eyes.

One left, one right, Philip's two arms were divided between Grace and Caroline.

The glamorous red-haired duchess, the noble blonde princess of the Empire, whoever walks alone on the street, is the object of other people's attention, and now, together, the two of them are around Philip.

The necks of pedestrians on the road are about to break.

Why! Where does this little white face look better than me, there are two women who look so beautiful, and there is no heavenly reason! This is what men think.

Wow! Which man can soak two women, he must be a super rich second generation, and he looks so handsome! This is what women think.

"Mommy, when I grow up, I want to marry two wives like that brother, one goes to school with me, and the other plays with me, so that you don't have to worry about my studies anymore!"

The man who was thought or said by these people was now sweating profusely, and he didn't have the heart to think about whether he was envied, jealous and hated by others.

The two women beside her have changed from the invisible "hate you and stare you to death" into implicit sharp words.

"Baby, people are tired, you tossed them so hard last night......" Grace spoke in a coquettish nasal voice, and his eyes seemed to be full of autumn water, making Philip seem to be back to the happy evening after yesterday's ball.

The ambiguous lighting, Grace wearing shapewear, the delicate lace pattern and the snow-white flesh reflect each other......

Someone pulled Philip from his right arm suddenly, bringing Philip back from his pink fantasy, and Caroline smiled at Philip: "Honey, walking down the street with you, I seem to remember the beautiful scenery when we walked hand in hand under the stars in Bithynia, and you fulfilled one of my childhood dreams." ”

It's gone!

When she got up this morning, Caroline told herself that some of the previous burdens should be let go, otherwise, now George and Philip are entangled, and both feelings will be lost.

That poignant first love will remain in the memory forever, and let your heart be filled with another person!

Caroline also gave Grace a provocative look, meaning "You only know how to be carnal, but I am spiritual, you are low-level taste, I am beautiful and romantic." ”

Grace responded to Caroline with cold eyes, and the eyes of the two quickly clashed, "You little girl, I don't know what a man likes at all, he plays beautiful and romantic with you, isn't it just for the most low-level fun?"

Grace rested his head on Philip's shoulder, his face flushed, "Baby, let's rest early tonight, people have been missing you so much, one night is not enough!"

Caroline is still an untrained girl after all, and she can't be so open as Grace, but she can work harder on romance: "My dear, I prepared a candlelight dinner in the palace where I lived, and at night we were in the back garden, and the sky was full of stars, romantic red candles......"

Caroline had already rested her head on Philip's right shoulder in shame, as if she had been deeply moved.

The man looked at Philip with even more jealousy, and the woman wanted to lean on Philip instead of the two women, and the child ......

The child had already been slapped in the ass by his mother.

"You little rabbit cub, you haven't studied well since you were a child, just like your dead ghost daddy, you just want to outsource the mistress. ”

...... (To be continued......)
