The banquet was held in the villa of a certain noble suburb, and it was evident that it was only a private and informal gathering of nobles.

Outside the villa, all kinds of gorgeous and delicate carriages were parked, and the men and women attending the banquet looked relaxed and dressed in fine clothes.

The villa is actually not too big, but the banquet hall on the first floor is not small. The whole party was attended by only more than 30 people, Nicole carefully took Roddy's arm, slowly walked into the hall, and immediately a waiter came up respectfully, took off the shawl on Nicole in the most elegant posture, and then sang in a pleasant tenor voice: "Miss Nicole of the Tulip Family, Master Seth has arrived." ！”

Roddy immediately felt a myriad of eyes shoot at him, for the first time in his life he had seen so many nobles at the same time—or rather high-ranking nobles. It was the first time that he was shrouded in the gaze of so many nobles, and this gaze was still varied.

There are those who have a little respect in their eyes, and they are naturally coming for the golden sign of "Tulip Family". There are those with envy, and those are naturally some nobles with a slightly lower status. There are also many people with a little smile in their eyes, which are from several families who are friends with the Tulip family. Of course, there are also some people with deep meaning in their eyes, that is, some people who have no friendship, and some people maliciously associate the current embarrassing situation of the Tulip family - the talent is withering, the heir is not angry, and the only one who is angry is a female streamer who cannot inherit the title.

Of course, it is also indispensable, and many young daughters invariably shoot at Roddy. Roddy's appearance tonight is indeed quite a bit graceful and chic, coupled with his handsome face from that playboy, and the tulip family's unique flowing blonde hair as brilliant as the sun god, it is indeed quite a bit of a public lover. Although in the eyes of the young ladies, Luo Di's dodgy gaze seemed to be a little shy, but the occasional shy appearance on the face of this handsome young man made these ladies even more cute. It's just that I heard that this eldest young master is a romantic character and a master of love, but this is a little inconsistent with the rumors.

Nicole greeted her acquaintance in a low voice with a quiet smile, smiling lightly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and at the same time quietly introduced these people in front of her to Roddy in a subtle voice, which one is His Majesty's recently favored ministers, which one is a nobleman who is famous for his wealth, and which one is an ally of the family...... Luo Di couldn't remember these things for a while, he only heard seventy percent clearly, but only remembered thirty percent.

Since it was not a formal banquet, it was a small gathering held in the form of a cold meal, and the men and women in the hall formed small groups according to their acquaintances. Nicole seems to have always taken Roddy around the various groups, neither talking deeply to people nor neglecting them. Occasionally, some pretentious young nobles were fascinated by Nicole's beauty and accosted her, but Nicole responded politely, without the slightest hint of the kind of magician whose strength was terrifying and miserable in Roddy's eyes.

Roddy always followed Nicole with fear, but Nicole seemed to want to exercise him well, and finally simply told him a few words: Be careful yourself, don't lose your manners according to what I taught you on the road. Then he walked away with a few female companions.

Roddy wanted to follow, but the girls went all the way to the inner room, and he was always embarrassed to follow. For a while, I had to stand there stupidly.

The waiter next to him brought a delicate pure gin glass, which was as bright red as blood, which made Roddy hesitate for a long time whether to take a sip.

Although he doesn't seem to be very comfortable, in the eyes of others, it is not like this. This move fell in the eyes of several aristocratic ladies who were interested in him, and they felt that this eldest young master was an outstanding figure. With his handsome appearance and the scary background behind him, is there a more suitable son-in-law than this?

Less than a moment after Nicole walked away, Roddy was surrounded by several aristocratic maidens.

It is said that men are often very skilled when they talk to women, but this sentence is probably just as appropriate for women.

In less than a moment, two aristocratic ladies "accidentally" dropped their handkerchiefs on the ground in front of Roddy's eyes, and the folding fans in the hands of the three aristocratic ladies "hurriedly" fell in front of Roddy, and one aristocratic lady tripped over her skirt "carelessly", and the whole person almost fell into Roddy's arms.

Of course, Luo Di firmly remembered the words of his cheap sister, and meticulously followed the etiquette she taught, picked up the handkerchiefs and folding fans that these young ladies had thrown on the ground in front of him, and carefully returned them to the master, as for the lady who almost hit his arms, Luo Di was so frightened that he dodged in a hurry, almost making the cowardly eldest lady really fall to the ground.

What made Roddy even more troubled was that these ladies seemed to be glued to themselves, and they picked and picked up and returned their things, but these ladies simply stood by their side and didn't leave. In a few words, I started talking to myself.

Roddy was not a good talker, and since he was a child, he has been a young lady and the beautiful little maid in the house, and has never dealt with girls. At this moment, I fell into the pile of rouge, and my head sweated for a while.

With the sound of warblers and swallows lingering beside him, and the charming eyes that flew in intentionally or unintentionally, Luo Di was very flustered in his heart - it was not that he didn't understand the amorous feelings, this kind of thing, men don't need to teach it. It's just that he's never dealt with girls, especially so many aristocratic girls. Besides, he was worried at the moment, for fear that he would accidentally expose his flaws, and every step he took was like walking on thin ice, where would he still have the heart to put on those tricks.

Besides, although there are two of these women who are good-looking, Roddy Pingli has taken care of Nicole and Angel, two charming beauties at home, and he is not too interested in these vulgar fans - not to mention that he already has a faint affection for Miss Nicole at the moment.

Luo Di himself couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, but this scene of being surrounded by ladies fell in the eyes of others, but he was envious. Some are sighing, the eldest young master of the Tulip family is really extraordinary. But there are also people who think that their family power is no worse than Luo Di, so they are a little angry and jealous.

"Seth, it seems that you had a good time chatting with these young ladies. A thin voice came. Immediately, the voice was gone, and a slender young man with a fair face walked in front of him.

With the instinctive vigilance of the samurai, Luo Di immediately sensed that the other party's face was smiling a little ill-willed.

Luo Di recognized the person in front of him as the nephew of the Emperor's [***] minister's family, and the Minister of War was in charge of the logistics and supply of the emperor's [***] affairs, which was a huge fat difference. It's just that the relationship with the Marshal's House has always been tense.

Originally, Roddy would not have known this, but when Nicole introduced everyone just now, she emphasized her tone towards the opponent who had never been on good terms with the family, which left a little impression on Roddy.

Luo Di sighed, nodded, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, I don't seem to know you, do I?"

A trace of displeasure flashed on the face of the guy opposite, he was the nephew of the Minister of War, and because the Minister of War had no son, and his family had no heir, he had been established as the official heir of the family. As soon as he returned to Yanjing this time, he had already become a popular figure. At this moment, Luo Di actually said in front of so many people that he didn't know him, which was to make it clear that he wouldn't give him face.

However, the expression on his face immediately returned to normal, raised his glass slightly, and smiled, "I'm Miro of the Lionheart family." I have been sent by His Majesty to the north to manage military affairs over the years, and Your Excellency has developed in Yanjing, so we have never officially met......"

As soon as these words came out, there was already a faint sense of irony - that means that Lao Tzu is an important military minister appointed by His Majesty, and you are just a playboy in Yanjing, of course we have not seen it.

The ladies on the side didn't speak, they naturally knew Miro's identity, in fact, if it weren't for Luo Di's appearance tonight, Miro would have been an important target of the golden beetle son-in-law in their hearts. Among them, there are also two clever ones, who faintly know some things about the disharmony between the two families, and also understand that this Miro is probably here to find fault, because he knows that Miro is now an important minister who holds the power of the army, and is quite appreciated by His Majesty, and although this young master Seth has the aura of the Tulip family, he is still an adult after all, and has not yet inherited the title. I can't help but be faintly worried about this likable teenager in my heart.

Luo Di's face was embarrassed, he also saw that the other party was looking for trouble, in fact, he didn't hear the irony in the other party's words, after all, he pretended to be this young master for a short time, and he hadn't completely dissolved himself into the role, just because he was pretending to be this character, and now the other party is such a big man and he can't get along, which feels really weird.

At this moment, a coquettish voice sounded softly.

"Your Excellency Miro, Master Seth, the two of you seem to be very close. I wonder why you're so happy?"

This sentence seems to be far away in the sky, and it seems to ring in the ears. The tone is delicate and beautiful, and it is extremely feminine, like a lover's coquettish tone.
