Chapter 61: The Palace Ball

In the evening, in the Emilia Ballroom, the largest in the palace, the ball was held as scheduled.

Mei Yi finally knew why the nobles liked the ball so muchβ€”the noble ladies and court ladies of the True Spirit showed up at the ball, and the nobles and new nobles all looked for their favorite female companions and danced in the center of the hall.

Mei Yi doesn't know how to dance and doesn't have a talent for it.

He poured himself a glass of red wine and stood alone on the balcony to blow the wind. Because the protocol officer said that the king would meet the new nobles after the ball, he could not go first, so he had to stay there honestly.

Several girls recognized Meiyi and came over to invite Meiyi to dance, and Meiyi said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I won't." Also, for your safety, it's best not to risk teaching me either. With that, he pointed to Sakura, who was sitting there rubbing her feet.

Sakura's hair was disheveled, and she stared at Mei Yi with hatred, her gaze almost killing himβ€”she suspected that Mei Yi had stepped on her on purpose.

Mei Yi stayed in the banquet hall for a while, felt uncomfortable, and walked out of the banquet hall and went to the library. He shook the glass lamp vigorously, and the bright light illuminated the entire library.

He climbed up the ladder, found a few books down, and sat down at the window to look at them carefully.

After watching for about half an hour, he heard a knock on the door. When I looked up, it turned out to be the queen. The queen closed the door and asked strangely, "Teacher Meiyi, why don't you go to the ball and read a book here?" ”

Mei Yi said helplessly: "I don't know how to dance, Sakura was kind enough to teach me to dance, but my feet were swollen by me." I fell and accidentally ripped off her headband, ruining the haircut she had spent an afternoon making. I won't be able to live any longer. ”

The queen couldn't help laughing. After a long while, she said, "Meiyi, I don't really know what happened today, but I know that thanks to you and Meiluke, our family and those great lords who are finally the royal family can be safe and sound, and Aiqilu can successfully become the crown prince." ”

Mei Yi hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Queen, I went home to sleep after the sealing ceremony, and I didn't know what happened in the palace in the afternoon, and it didn't play any role." ”

The queen glanced at Mei Yi meaningfully, "Mei Lu is always by your insistence on being by Ai Qilu's side, right?" If Aqilu listened to you and took Aqilu with her, maybe nothing would happen today. ”

Mei Yi knew that she couldn't be fooled, so she said, "It's also a crooked fight." I heard Mei Luke say that today's princess's decisiveness and filial piety to her parents have impressed those great lords who do not eat oil and salt. If she had someone around her to rely on, she might not be able to do so well. ”

The queen said, "Let's go to the banquet hall together, I have discussed with the king and princess, and decided to make you the lord of Sombra City, that is, Christine's lordship, I want to announce this good news to everyone!" ”

Mei Yi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Queen, thank you for your kindness, but this is not appropriate." The lord of Sombra City rules over the surrounding seventeen large counties and four small cities, and I will definitely not be able to do it well if a person like me who has no experience can serve as a lord. Besides, I just got the title of viscount, and suddenly became a duke again, what will others think about the kingdom's title system? ”

The queen smiled and said, "I'm not talking to you, I've already told you, it's a decision made by the king, the queen and the future queen." We are all very optimistic about you. As for the title, you're right, or you can take the viscount title to be the lord of Sombra, and the counts, viscounts, barons, and knights in the jurisdiction are all under your control, and you can also divide the title yourself. ”

Before Mei Yi could say anything, the queen said, "Mei Yi, the king and I read the book you wrote to the princess, and we think that you are right. The lord system actually splits the elven kingdom, you go there to pilot the abolition of the realm and establish a province, and when you succeed, we will promote it throughout the country. ”

Speaking of this, the queen patted Mei Yi's arm: "Please also hurry up and come up with the results, I want to see that day as soon as possible." But don't delay your own business. When you find a girl you like, I will personally officiate your wedding at the palace. ”

Mei Yi suddenly discovered that the queen, who had always been radiant, was not silver-haired, and many of them had turned all white.

"Well, Queen, I promise you."

"Do you know who one of the people who was crowned a nobleman with us?" A new nobleman asked, holding a red wine.

"I don't know."

"I don't know. By the way, how many of us know about human beings? ”

"Haha, that's it, that's it, who cares about them!"

"When I was in school, there were some human girls desperately leaning on us, and I was so shameless!"

"I can't see that you're a gentleman, and you don't sit still."

"Hah, what do you say? There is no reason to send it to the door, and the human girl is quite exciting, haha...... They say in their own hands that we men are much stronger than those human men. ”

Some of the surrounding noble daughters had disgusted expressions on their faces and walked away from home. Some of the women echoed these aristocratic men, their hands covered with white silk gloves, and they ate and laughed.

"By the way, why didn't Princess Agilu come to tonight's ball, she is the protagonist of tonight. I really didn't expect that she would become the crown prince at the age of fifteen. ”

"There was a loud noise in the royal city this afternoon, and there may have been something going on in the palace. Haven't you noticed, the tower built on the island in the middle of the lake has fallen down, and a tree the size of a mountain has grown! ”

"Shhhh How...... What's going on?! That human was actually ahead of the Great Lords! What is the relationship between him and the queen! ”

The king, queen, and princess stood at the front, Mei Yi stood at the back of them, and the six lords of Illya, Heritia, Alfie, Hua Jie, Liulian, and Qi Ling stood behind Mei Yi.

Many of the people in the audience were the children of nobles studying in the True Spirit Academy, and they secretly exclaimed, "Isn't that Teacher Meiyi?" ”

After resting for more than two hours, the king and princess, and several high lords, were treated by the palace doctors, and all of them were restored to health and spirit. The king stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the balls in the palace. Here, I have a couple of announcements that will be sent to all parts of the country tomorrow. ”

The king's clerk announced: "At today's meeting of the lords of the three clans, Sombra City Lord Christine, Lord Prince of Giant Wood City, and Southern Fairy Forest Lord Feng Qi staged a coup d'Γ©tat with the intention of assassinating His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Princess, and were subdued under the resistance of the Marquis Qiling, the Lord of the Wind Lands, and others, Prince and Christine died on the spot, and Feng Qi was arrested and imprisoned. ”

There was a burst of exclamations from the banquet hall. You know, the word coup d'Γ©tat has disappeared from the elven kingdom for almost a hundred years.

"Princess Aiqilu was in danger during the meeting of lords and the coup d'Γ©tat, and she handled the emergency with ease, saving the lives of the six lords, which was unanimously approved by them. From this time on, Ai Qilu officially became the crown prince and participated in political affairs. ”

The banquet hall knelt down in an uproar, swearing allegiance to the co-lord of Agilu.

"Viscount Mei Yi taught the princess merits, and the princess he recommended to accompany Miss Mei Luke saved the king and princess, and defeated Christine and Prince, slain the giant serpent summoned by the wind, and saved the royal family from the brink of destruction...... In addition, in accordance with his opinion, he retained the title of viscount and did not make a duke for the time being. ”
