When Li Wangxing began to prepare for the night visit to the Castle of Sin, the palace in the center of the royal city was also extremely busy these days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Princess Elizabeth's eighteenth birthday is just tonight, and there will be a big ball here. This is an unprecedented big event, I heard that the Emperor of Light will also announce the official engagement of Princess Elizabeth and Adams, the eldest son of the Obsidian family, at the ball, if anyone does not know the weight of the Obsidian family, then he will understand when he hears a name. The first aristocratic family of the Bright Empire, members of the Obsidian family occupy half of the imperial judicial system and military and political institutions.

The royal family and the first noble family, this is the most important marriage in the empire to date.

The palace's housekeeper, Pritsch, was busy, his voice shrieving as he directed a group of servants to polish the silver cutlery on the long table, his slender eyes fixed on the slaves who were constantly carrying tables and chairs.

No one dares to ignore this steward who has served the royal family for thirty years, his slender fingers can pick out the most hidden dust, his eagle nose can smell the missing filth from a few meters away, and his sharp and sensitive eyes can make people no longer have the slightest idea of laziness, he is the most discerning butler and the most loyal servant.

In the corridor outside the banquet hall, Princess Elizabeth sat quietly on a stone chair carved with the golden sunflower, the symbol of the royal family, the sun shining on her golden hair, which represented the royal blood, and she looked at the menu of tonight's banquet with a comfortable expression, a little absent-minded.

Elizabeth's cheeks are obviously not a beauty, compared to the delicate face of little Lori Victoria, her appearance is too mediocre, and her slightly chubby cheeks and body will make her more similar to the woman of the market.

Susilo XVI had three sons and daughters, the eldest prince Charles, the second prince William, the younger prince Roy, the eldest princess Elizabeth, and the youngest princess Victoria.

The eldest prince Charles is the deputy of the Minister of Political Science and Law, and he has to deal with a mountain of important military and political affairs every day. The second prince, William, received the six-petal cornflower bachelor's badge in the academy and went to the border to serve in the army. The little prince Roy is currently studying at the Academy, and has published two papers that are highly appreciated by scholars. The little princess Victoria is the holy daughter of the Holy See of Light, and has lived in Naga Palace since she was sent to the Holy See for the awakening of Light at the age of five.

It seems that only the eldest princess Elizabeth has been unknown among all the princes and princesses, and her appearance is not outstanding, so she has always lived in a simple place. Although the royal blood is extremely noble, some people who know the inside story are still secretly unworthy for the knight of Adams, and the handsome and mighty Adams is indeed wronged to marry this mediocre princess.

In any case, this marriage is not something that others can talk about.

Under Pritch's nervous management, everything in the banquet hall was ready, he came to Princess Elizabeth and bowed slightly: "Your Excellency, the banquet hall is complete, is there anything that needs to be changed about the preparation of meals?"

Elizabeth's face was indifferent, and she folded the menu and handed it to him: "There is no big problem. It would be better to remove the foie gras and replace it with oyster soup. Oysters are tender and juicy at this time, making them the best time of the year. If you pair it with freshly picked wild mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, it tastes great. “

Pritsch wiped the sweat from his forehead and said a little embarrassed, "That...... Your Excellency...... There will be a banquet tonight, and if the menu is changed at this time, the preparation of ingredients will be ......."

Although it is customary to give the dinner list to the owner of the banquet, it is usually just one last look, and it has never been seen that a member of the royal family really wants to change it, which makes the shrewd Pritch very embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Pritsch. Elizabeth smiled at him, "I'm just saying, do as you want, anyway, it never matters what you eat with the people who come to the banquet." ”

Pritsch nodded and retired to prepare the meal.

He muttered in his heart, the eldest princess is not usually a person who will talk too much about these things, her temperament has always been easy-going and low-key, and the first symbolic question of her opinion today went wrong, and it seems that the eldest princess is not as weak as she usually seems.

After rushing to the kitchen, under his urging and command, the imperial chefs had no chance to rest, the fire was high, bursts of fragrance continued to waft out, and the beautiful palace dishes were arranged in an orderly manner, and the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

In the evening, the banquet was about to begin.

At the entrance of the palace, carriages marked various family crests came from all directions, and the big men who were thunderous in the empire stepped out of the carriages.

Count Pampas, Chancellor of the Exchequer, head of the Tulip family. He leaped out of the carriage with a red face, his bloated form was a world away from his mighty son, Rombido, whose wide-sleeved robes and pure gold rings were a sign of the lord's prodigious wealth, consciously or unconsciously.

Earl Griffin, the Chancellor of the Palm Seal, is the head of the Thorngrass family. He was emaciated, dressed in a plain long robe, and his brow was constricted as if it had never been opened. After getting out of the carriage, he looked at the Count of Pampas's imposing golden air, and his brow seemed to furrow even more, but he did not speak.

Lady Windsor, Minister of Justice, head of the White Rose family. The wind and frost of the years have dyed her green silk white, but her dignified demeanor can vaguely show the elegance of her youth. She didn't use crutches, her back was straight, and she was small, but she didn't give people the slightest sense of exquisiteness.

When Pampas saw the old lady of Windsor get out of the car, he hurriedly ran to him and said hello: "Old lady, how are you doing lately? I haven't seen you for a long time, but I can't worry about old Pan." ”

The old lady of Windsor was not very kind to this fat man who was eager to go out in gold, and her face was expressionless, and she replied as she walked forward: "I am worried, if those bastards of your family don't always stretch their hands so long, maybe I can live a few more years." ”

Pampas smiled: "Old lady, young people are now thinking about doing it themselves, they can't listen to the clichés of our old people, I persuaded them a few times to no avail, anyway, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so simply let them make trouble by themselves, and they will naturally know that they are afraid if they suffer losses." ”

The old lady of Windsor glanced at him: "Do you really think so? Then don't deny it when the kid over there cries to find you in the future." ”

Pampas sneered: "I still want your old people to watch it, and I will go back to discipline and discipline this." I said, old lady, why didn't you see Miss Mei Lan with you?"

But the old lady of Windsor didn't care about him, threw a few silver coins to the ragged begging girl beside her, and walked forward on her own.

Pampas was so bored with Lady Windsor, and when he saw Griffin's old man who was slamming the door coming to him, he said to himself: "I heard that the marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Adams is going to be announced this time, and it seems that other people who have ideas in their hearts have no chance!"

Seeing that Griffin didn't care about him, he said again: "The Obsidian family is unstoppable, and Adams is even more of a young talent, I said Griffin, when you instigated your kid to pursue Princess Elizabeth, you didn't expect this day." How, the taste of obsidian is not fragrant. ”

Griffin stopped, looked at him with a blank face, and still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Pampas thought that he had been caught by his pigtails, and he was even more proud in his heart: "Pick the old man, seeing the obsidian flowers blooming so brilliantly, you are really willing, do you want to teach you two methods, brother, to water this flower." ”

"Ahem. ”

Two coughs came from behind the Pampas, and he turned around with a numb scalp, and it was the head of the Obsidian family, the Minister of Political Science and Law, Count Tiger.

A long line of sweat left on the pampas' face.

"Thai...... Master Tiger. ”

"Well, Mistress Pampas seems to be in a good mood today, and he watered the flowers. ”

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, it's not a big day, I just want to tell a joke and have fun. ”

"Oh. Count Tiger sneered: "Then I will enter the palace first, and I will not delay you to tell jokes." After saying that, he led his son Adams into the palace gate. Griffin followed.

Seeing them enter, the Pampas restrained an apologetic smile on his face, anger rolling in his eyes.

See how long you can be proud, he thought hatefully, and slowly entered the palace to attend the banquet.

Seeing that this side was in the same situation, other dignitaries and officials in the surrounding area avoided it early, and entered the palace through the side door. Occasionally someone would stop and throw a few copper coins to the begging girl who was huddled by the palace wall, and after a while, the officials were gone, and the beggar girl got up and ran quickly, turning over her harvest for the day in a hidden corner, and after a while, she stood up with satisfaction, took off her dirty broken hat, and revealed a pretty face, Miss Dora.
