Chapter 6 Arrival at the Imperial Capital
Chapter 6 Arrival at the Imperial Capital
As the eldest daughter of one of the most important nobles in the empire, Raphael's beauty spread throughout the nooks and crannies of Lawrence City since she was a child. Even though he lived in the territory with his parents most of the time, it did not affect the promotion of his beauty in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, and even in his absence, he was called the four beauties of the new generation of the empire together with Sophia St. Linde, the third princess of the empire, Angel, the saint of the diocese of Lawrence of the Holy See of Light, and Elsa, the captain of the 11th legion of the imperial garrison.
Compared with the other three beauties who are active in the imperial capital all the year round, Raphael in addition to reporting on his father's work, Except for activities such as presenting gifts to the emperor, almost all of them live in Qingyuan County, although there is no fixed fan group, but due to the mystery formed by the perennial absence, it has the largest fan group, and even many of the other three beauties' fan groups have extremely huge curiosity about one of the four little-known beauties, but none of these people can often contact Miss Ye, lack of hardcore backbone fans and can't manage it properly, can't hold a group naturally can't be called a fan group, just a group of people with common hobbies。
However, for Miss Ye's fans, one thing was determined a few years ago: this year, that is, when Miss Ye is 16 years old, she will come to the Imperial Capital Imperial University to study at the School of War Magic.
The deadline for enrollment and registration of the Imperial University is September 10 every year, and since the beginning of September, there are more and more idle men who gather near the city gate every day, especially after confirming that Miss Ye not only did not sign up, but also failed to arrive at the news of the imperial capital, the Admiral Yamen of the Nine Gates has had to add a battalion of men and horses at the south gate to maintain order near the east city gate and maintain the road capacity.
For this reason, there have been more than one voice in the Admiral's Mansion scolding 'a bunch of idle eggs hurting sons'.
In the midst of such an almost expectant gaze, the convoy of horses from the southeastern part of the empire circled around the east gate and stopped on the official road in the distance.
The east of the imperial capital, because of the proximity to the Imperial University, most of the foreign students studying here live here before entering the university, plus it is not far from the Imperial Government Council in the city, the imperial palace in the north of the city, and the big city in the south of the city.
Because it is close, and because it is idle, anyway, the east gate is not far from their own yard, and I don't know how many sons and brothers are waiting for Rafeier over there, plus the servants, guards, chariots and horses of each family, it is simply a disaster for the imperial capital garrison soldiers on duty at the east gate.
More and more sons gather in one place, and friction will inevitably form, so all kinds of spontaneous activities, from drinking parties, poetry parties to fights, are constantly staged outside the East Gate, resulting in a considerable degree of traffic jams at the East Gate, and the closer the time is to September 10, the more serious the road blockage will be.
When you arrive in the capital, you have to face thousands of onlookers or something, no matter how you think about it, even if those people are your admirers.
On the afternoon of September 7, escorted by more than two dozen knights, a carriage with simple decoration but always reflected in the subtleties entered the southern suburbs of Lawrence City in the caravan entering the city.
There are a total of three city gates in the south of the imperial capital, which are for livestock, business and goods, and there is also a water gate, which leads the river into the city, which can not only strengthen the transportation capacity of materials in the city, but also greatly increase the water supply of residents, which is the foundation of the city. The civilian area in the south of the city concentrates 1/2 of the population of the imperial capital, which is chaotic and crowded, but it also brings a vitality that is different from that of other urban areas.
Under the scolding of the soldiers of the Yamen of the Nine Gates, the two horses dragged and even the docile demonic beasts such as the Kodo Beast and the Dragon Horse dragged the cart and slowly moved towards the city. This is the southern side gate, dedicated to large trucks, the closest to the most prosperous market in the city, for such a team that is obviously an aristocratic traveler has to be crowded here, everyone has expressed dissatisfaction, but after seeing the coats of arms on the twenty or so guard knights and carriages, they can only obediently shut up - those who know know that this is the convoy of the Duke's Palace, and those who don't understand will know very well what they should do for the sake of the escort knights.
In order to facilitate the shopping of nobles and wealthy people, the main road from the Chengnan Market to the rich area in the east of the city is quite spacious and easy to walk, so that Rafael's motorcade can pass through the city as quickly as possible after passing through the Chengnan Market and go directly home. If the action is fast enough, even if the trolls in the east of the city get the news and rush back now, they will almost be able to see the last look of the convoy before entering the house.
What is the state of civilian life like in a worldly first-class city? This is a very important topic of study. There is an opportunity to observe up close, and Qin Shouzhuo will naturally not let it go. From the moment the team began to enter the city, Qin Shouzhuo lay down next to the carriage window, lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the traffic on the street, and behaved like a mud leg who had never entered the city.
Just as Qin Shouzhuo was observing and having a heated discussion with Victoria 404 about the degree of development of the otherworldly society, a carriage full of goods attracted Qin Shouzhuo, to be exact, it was the fat figure of the guy standing around the conductor on the carriage that attracted Qin Shouzhuo's attention.
Of course, it's definitely not a liking or anything like that.
The spherical figure and the posture of shouting at the guy all deeply caught Qin Shouzhuo's eyes, especially with the image comparison function of Victoria 404 to help analyze......
"Dead fatty, what a coincidence that I ran into you again!"
No wonder Qin Shouzhuo gritted his teeth there, isn't this fat man the fat businessman who caused the disaster a few days ago. Leaving the elven slave catcher team to Qin Shouzhuan to deal with, after the elves retreated, the guard knight rushed to the original place, the fat man and his caravan were gone, and only the surrounding traces still told the fierceness of the battle.
But for Qin Shouzhuo, this girl just planted the blame and ran away! Thanks to the eldest lady's special trip to the rescue, Qin Shouzhuo can be regarded as surviving. This girl's behavior is put in the overall situation of racial confrontation, that is, it is a proper betrayal of teammates, and it can't be endured, it can't be endured!
But stop the convoy to find trouble with the fat man, and then be blocked outside the Duke's Mansion by the young people who turned back, of course no one will do this kind of stupid thing, Qin Shouzhuo can only do at this time is to inform Rafeier of the fat man's matter, and then Rafeier will arrange for the next servant to stay behind to follow the fat man's team, and the large army will return to the house quickly according to the plan.
"Dead fatty, the master is cleaning you up when he turns around!"
The fat man, who was urging the guys to move forward with difficulty, suddenly felt a shiver all over, a chill down his spine, as if he was being targeted by some beast, his fat big hand caressed his chest, shrunk his head, and squinted a pair of small eyes to look around, but he didn't find anything.
........................
As expected, when Raphael's convoy arrived at the Duke's Palace, only a few people arrived on fast horses, and the gates of the Duke's Palace were open, and the convoy rushed into the palace without hesitation. The butler of the Duke's Mansion took his family to block the boys who were about to come in with him, and the door of the Duke's Mansion slammed shut in the sound of horses' hooves that were getting closer and closer in the distance.
The boys, who were blocked, did not care, and they took the incident as an opportunity for a horse race, and although they did not see Raphael, the cheers of the victors still resounded outside the high walls.
As soon as she got out of the car, Rafeier learned the news that the third princess Sophia was waiting in the back garden, and couldn't wait to pull Qin Shouzhuo and Qiu Yue to the back garden. Skirting the hall and through the cloister, I soon saw the back of the man standing quietly in the garden.
With a complicated bun, the end of the long chestnut hair hangs quietly behind the back, embellished with a little gold and silver, and matched with a plain white dress, it looks so slim. Before he saw the front, this fairy-like temperament in the painting had already fascinated Qin Shouchuang.
"Sister Sophia~~" Raphael cheered and pounced. The girl who heard the voice turned around, and just hugged Rafeier who rushed over, with a doting smile on her face, and gently rubbed Rafeier's forehead, Qin Shouzhuo knew that this was probably the third princess of the empire who had a good relationship with Rafeier.
Hearing Rafeier's shout, Qin Shouzhuo, who suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly looked away, stared at a red floor tile in front of him, and stared straight at the lady, which was really rude.
The girls who had been reunited for a long time complained of their lovesickness to each other, and after a while, the topic turned to Qin Shouzhuo, and Princess Sophia expressed great curiosity about this new face.
As soon as she heard Princess Sophia ask about "Brother Shou'er", Rafael became excited, and kept chatting in front of Princess Sophia, adding fuel and vinegar to the matter of "Brother Shou's Brother" being picked up, especially the part of the elven slave catching team, Qin Shouzhuo was drenched in cold sweat next to him, is this really talking about himself.
When she heard that Qin Shouzhuo could cook a good dish, Sophia's throat swelled, and her eyes lit up; when she heard that she was framed by a fat businessman and attacked by the elven slave catcher, even if the other party was standing in front of her, Princess Sophia still couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, and gently put her palm in front of her mouth to cover it slightly, showing her worry and nervousness in an elegant manner; when she heard that Qin Shouzhuo stayed alone to entangle the elven pursuers, Sophia's eyes were even more moved, and she couldn't help but hold Rafeier's hands and put them on her chest, and Qin Shouzhuo beside her saw that her eyes were straight。
"Qin Gongzi, the situation must have been very dangerous at that time......
Hearing such a peerless beauty ask, Qin Shouzhuo was shocked, his eyes immediately became confused, his breathing was short, his eyes were wandering, and the egg that had always been thrown out of the clouds, plus the other party came to him, his eyebrows were picturesque, his breath was like an orchid, his body was still leaning towards his side, his tearful eyes looked at his eyes with gratitude, Qin Shouzhuo was even more nervous and his cheeks were red, and he reluctantly answered Princess Sophia's question.
Gradually, Qin Shouzhuo clearly felt that the gratitude in Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia's eyes gradually disappeared and turned into ...... Teasing? took a slight step forward again, the two stood closer, Sophia's entire body was already pressed against Qin Shouzhuo's chest, and the gratitude in her eyes had dissipated, replaced by pleasure?
Qin Shouzhuo became even more nervous, his eyes flew wildly, and the whole person was leaning back, supporting the stone table behind him with both hands, and there was no way to retreat.
Looking at the two people who were getting closer and closer, Rafael suddenly felt a burst of boredom for some reason, and wanted to pull the two apart immediately, standing aside and opening his mouth twice, but he didn't speak, and his heart was even more anxious. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Rafael patted her head: "That's right! Sister Sophia, when we entered the city today, Brother Shou found that the fat man who framed us had already left someone to follow, let's go and teach the fat man a lesson tomorrow." ”
Princess Sophia, who was interrupted from entertainment, was not angry, her eyes rolled and she didn't know what the hell idea came of, but Qin Shouzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly retreated, excused herself to make soup, and left that dangerous place.
