Chapter 125: The farce of the group meeting
At the New Year's party in the palace, the nobles gathered, and the noblewomen and noble ladies dressed up beautifully, competing for beauty, and it was not lively.
But when the king and queen came out, everyone held their breath and could not help but marvel again.
His Majesty wore not a brightly coloured robe adorned with gold and silver jewels, but a black fleece tweed double-breasted coat, crisp trousers, and black calfskin shoes. In addition, since the king learned to swim from Mei Luke, he insisted on swimming in Lake Melohia every day, and his figure recovered well, quite like a male god.
The queen was not wearing the fluffy skirt that she usually wore on festivals, but a long rose-red dress and white gold jewelry in the shape of snowflakes with a simple design, which was more noble and elegant than usual.
Just when everyone was amazed, the Duchess Lady Alicia, who appeared with Avril Lavigne, attracted people's attention again. The mother and daughter both wore simple white shirts, slim trousers and camel-colored coats, and their graceful figures were undoubtedly displayed.
And that's not all. The lord of Ice Valley City, Hua Jie, along with his wife Irene, daughter Hua Jin, and Hanabi, also appear like a supermodel. Seeing the gaze focused on him, Hua Jin, who was the provost of the True Spirit Academy, felt uncomfortable, and Hanako was much more indifferent.
The aesthetics of this era are still in a relatively rough stage, and the great nobles basically pile up jewelry, jade, and gold on their clothes, without any sense of design, and also cover up the beauty of the body.
Erin didn't know about Agilu's trip to Sombra City, so she asked the queen, "Sister Elsa, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Why didn't it show up? ”
"Akilu is a little uncomfortable, so she didn't come to the New Year's party today," the queen said, looking Erin and Alicia up and down, "Erin, Alicia, Sombra has sent you samples too?" ”
Alicia laughed, "Well, a whole bunch of them. It is said that it is the latest work designed by the designer of Sombra City, so we feel that if we can still see it, we must wear it if we participate in the event, and ...... next year It should be this year, and this year Sombra City will come to Wangcheng and Hualing for exhibition. ”
Erin said a little strangely, "Isn't that kid very rich?" Why are you still desperately trying to make money? ”
Alicia smiled: "He has recently spent a lot of money in Sombra City to build water conservancy, pave roads and bridges, build houses and reclaim wasteland, build education, fight bandits, and train new troops. Moreover, most of the funds mentioned in the play have been returned or compensated to the past victims, so he should not have a lot of money. ”
Hanabi thought to herself: You're too decent, aren't you? Is it really a grudge against money?
Wolff, the palace warlord and representative of the conservative forces, heard the Duchess's words and leaned over and said, "Train the new army?" It was really hard work. Everyone knows that the army of Sombra City is rotten to the bones, and the robbers in the territory burn and loot, if they enter a no-man's land, there are thousands of people, and it is no problem to end the lord's mansion......"
Hanabi couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "The eighteen people who thought this way before are still waiting to be mined in the mines of Sombra City." ”
The Queen, Alicia, Erin, and Avril all laughed, and Wolf walked away in a huff.
Erin noticed the worry on Hanabi's face and said, "Hanabi, do you care?" Rest assured, he is very smart, and he has many friends in Sombra City to help him, and he is now a man in charge of himself. As long as he quits gambling, the goddess Emilia will bless him. ”
Hanabi couldn't help but laugh, "Well, Mom." ”

Meiyi's advertising worked,
Sure enough, some noblewomen and noble ladies came over and asked which tailor made their clothes, and the queen thought hard for a while, and said, "This is designed by the students of the Fine Arts Department of the True Spirit Academy and the Flower Spirit Academy, and the tailors with decades of experience are crafted with ingenuity, and the reputation of Sombra City guarantees that each piece is unique." ”
After asking the price, a lady gasped and said, "This price is really not cheap." ”
Lady Alicia smiled, "Countess, just calculate the cost for you." The dress on the queen's body is based on the long dress of Emilia's ancestor in "Emilia's Accession Day". Sombra City spent 5,000 gold coins to purchase the painting, and it can only reproduce the clothes of Emilia and Melohia, both of which are unique. ”
"There are also some new costumes, like the ones on me and Avril, which are almost non-existent. But what does it matter? We've always led the way, and we haven't followed the fashion, have we? ”
The surrounding noblewomen and noble ladies were like an empowerment, and felt that what the queen said was very reasonable, and hurriedly asked, "Where can I buy these clothes?" ”
The queen said, "I haven't sold it yet, but I'll soon open shops in True Spirit and Flower Spirit." I heard from the shopkeeper that he has bought a manor in True Spirit, specializing in customizing clothing and providing you with the best service. Zhenling Commercial Street has some mid-range products for the general public, which are also very good, and I also have a few daily clothes. ”
A noble lady asked, "Who is the owner of this shop, and he is too powerful......
The queen said, "I remember mentioning Sombra just now. Oh, by the way, you're not familiar with Sombra, but you should always remember the name Meiyi, right? It's the great lord of humanity who told you the story. ”
It's him!
It's him again!
He can actually make that kind of costume made in a remote area like Sombra City impress the upper class of the royal capital!
After the official start of the group meeting, the king and queen sat on the throne and began to receive the New Year greetings from the ministers. After a while, the protocol officer sent New Year's greetings from all over the world.
The king hurriedly flipped through it, and after turning to the congratulatory message from Sombra City, he opened it and looked at it, and was immediately relieved - "Father, Mr. Meiyi said that he was afraid that you would be angry when you saw what he wrote, so let me write a greeting card on my behalf." The teacher is good, I'm good, and Sombra is good. I wish you and your mother health and happiness, don't read it. ”
The King flipped through it and found a greeting card from Windy Valley. The king remembered that Windy Valley was the domain of Count Caroline, and thought that she was going to marry Mei Yi, and he didn't know how it was doing, so he opened the greeting card and looked at it.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, the king couldn't help but stand up and slammed the letter in his hand to the ground, "What kind of reputation is this stinky boy doing?" How dare you take 2,000 soldiers to fight more than 5,000 heavily armed outlaws? What is the reason for the absurdity of letting the people of Sombra City have a happy and peaceful New Year? Isn't this sending our fighters to their deaths? If it weren't for Caroline, I would have been hidden! ”
The banquet hall, which was originally very joyful and lively, was suddenly silent.
War Minister Wolf couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, a little gloating. Unexpectedly, the military strength of Sombra City was already so weak that it only had such a pitiful force.
Where is this called war, it is clearly sending to death!
The wisest man in the kingdom...... What a joke!
Hanabi, Avril Lavigne, and Liuxi, who had just arrived, were all stunned at once.
