After all, Leo was the cardinal archbishop of the temple, and after he appeared at Norman's banquet, many people immediately approached him and saluted, intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as www.biquge.info came to Su Ya's side and exchanged a few words, he was accosted by some other nobles.

Su Ya didn't seem to have any friendship with this Leo, and she was going to turn aside, but after seeing this scene, she directly took Jose and walked away.

As soon as he walked aside, Qiao Se smiled and said to Su Ya: "You don't seem to have a good impression of this guy, but after all, he is the local archbishop of the temple, and he is also a big man in the imperial capital, so you should not be a little polite to him." ”

Su Ya glanced at Jose, and there was a slight smile on her face, but with a somewhat strange smile: "You're right, it's just that I just don't like this guy!oh, by the way...... This guy used to pursue me ......"

"What?!"

A man shouted in surprise from a corner of the banquet, and then José stared at Leo with an ugly face, regardless of the surprised looks of several nobles on the side, as if gritting his teeth: "You said this guy once pursued you?!"

Su Ya looked at Jose with a playful expression, nodded deliberately and said, "Will I joke about this kind of thing?" But I have always had no intersection with the people in the temple, and considering the contradictions between the temple and the royal family, I will never have any contact with the upper echelons of the temple, so I have already rejected him at that time. ”

Su Ya looked at Jose with a stunned expression, but there was a somewhat funny look on her face, and then explained to Jose:

This Leo Archbishop met her at a New Year's celebration a few years ago. At that time, this guy seemed to show great interest in Su Ya. Although there were no restrictions on the marriage of clergy in the temple, the Leo Archbishop seemed to be too freewheeling. After all, Su Ya's status is not an ordinary lady of a noble family, but the head of a first-class family in the empire, and she has the dignity of an imperial duke.

Although both of them are extremely prominent, and even Archbishop Leo is a little more respected than Su Ya, the duke, but when he expressed this intention, Su Ya's first reaction was to reject him except for the accident!

When Jose heard this, he looked at Su Ya with a mocking look on her face, and suddenly realized that this chick had deliberately said it to herself. So he nodded, and then touched his nose:

"I know what you mean, as the Duke of the Empire, you are naturally on the side of the royal family, even if the emperor will take over power and attack you old nobles, but you also have your own principles and rules, and you must not be involved in the struggle between divine power and royal power. ”

When Su Ya heard him say this, a smile appeared on her face: "You guy, you have a very flexible mind...... Yes, not to mention that Leo has the status of this archbishop, and even if he didn't, I would not agree to his pursuit.

After all, things inside the temple weren't necessarily much simpler than in the empire. Except for those noble ladies who are bent on climbing the high branches, or the petty nobles where the interests of the family are located, the real imperial giants are some extremely cunning guys, and no one is stupid enough to intervene in the struggle between divine power and royal power. ”

Jose squinted his eyes and glanced at Leo in the distance, but how did he feel that this guy was a complete little white face! Although he knew that Su Ya would not agree to Leo's pursuit, Su Ya's words still made José have no good impression of this Leo.

This is also very normal, after all, any man is afraid that there is an instinctive rejection of the guy who has pursued his woman. Although Su Ya has not yet established any formal relationship with Jose, in Jose's opinion, Su Ya's sister paper has long been regarded as forbidden by herself. So when he thought of this, even if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this Leo, he couldn't help but look at him a little unhappy in his heart.

Jose chatted with Su Ya for a while, and during this period, many people came up to talk to Su Ya, after all, as the Duke of Su Ya's Empire, he was also the top big man in this banquet hall.

The two of them stood for a while, and a total of more than a dozen nobles and officials stepped forward, and more than half of them were guests such as those imperial officers. After all, although the strength of the Ellios family is still strong, most of the wealthy nobles in the empire know that this big family seems to have a bit of a problem with His Majesty the current emperor, so even if there is any meeting, most of the children come forward and leave after a few words.

However, those guys who wore the official uniforms of the empire, many of them stepped forward to salute Su Ya. After all, she had just returned to the central government from Moxi, and she was the commander of the leading army who had won a battle in the northwest, and she also had the rank of major general in the army, and there were many high-ranking officers in the imperial capital who knew this duchess.

I have to say that even in such a wealthy feast, the division of military and aristocratic forces can be seen. Most of those wealthy nobles are cautious and tactful, and those officials in the military department, except for some high-ranking officials whose positions are held by aristocratic families, like some middle and low-level officers, are still quite a bit of a hard-core character of soldiers.

However, only a duke like Norman, who was both the military deputy minister of the empire in the army and enjoyed a high status in the aristocracy, could have the means and ability to make friends with the wealthy families and high-ranking officials in these empires.

After the banquet officially begins, there is generally an opening dance, and according to the convention, most of the opening dancers are the hosts of the banquet or the distinguished guests. Norman now fulfilled his master's position and began his first dance with his wife, the Duchess.

This was also the first time Joseph saw his wife, and it is said that this middle-aged noblewoman who still looked beautiful was Perry's mother, and the duchess looked extremely elegant and noble, and even Joseph couldn't help but appreciate the etiquette and standards of these nobles when he saw her and Norman dancing on the dance floor.

After the opening dance, Norman's expression seemed very happy, he took the Duchess's hand, and looked at the audience with a smile on his face: "Okay, all the guests who have arrived, I, Norman, will not receive you one by one, after the opening dance, it is the time for the ball." The young ladies here are working hard, I just saw a lot of beautiful noble ladies in the banquet hall, haha......"

As soon as Norman said this, it immediately caused a joyful laughter in the audience, and many of the noble children also showed a few eager looks on their faces, while some noble ladies smiled reservedly, standing quietly on the dance floor waiting for their dance partners to invite them to dance.
