Chapter 455: [All the Best?]
What annoyed Princess Louise was that after a fierce "first meeting" with Du Wei that morning, this hateful Duke Tulip was really hungry for a day!
He actually did it? dignified princess, how dare he not give me food?!
In the next two days, Du Wei did not come to the door to apologize, and Princess Louise's anger went without saying.
Two nights later, however, there was a small banquet in the castle, and when Princess Louise was invited, her first reaction was to slam the door shut and drive out the servants who had come to deliver the invitation.
But after a second, she nodded in agreement, offering to attend the banquet.
Not for anything else, just because this banquet is a "farewell dinner". Nominally, it was said that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Dai Li were about to leave Loulan City. As the host, Duke Tulip set up a banquet this evening to bid farewell to the two distinguished guests.
At least...... I'll be able to get out of this damn place right away!Thinking back to the beginning, Louise felt that she was really dizzy, and she remembered to run northwest to see Duke Tulip!
So, Princess Louise suppressed her anger, dressed herself carefully, and attended the dinner with a smile - at least, she would be able to leave this place and return to Dìdū soon! Even if she returned to Dìdū, there were still a lot of troubles waiting for her, but it was much better than being in this place!!
Therefore, when Princess Louise appeared at the dinner party with a radiant face, the beautiful princess immediately became the focus of everyone again.
The princess's elegant demeanor and royal temperament became the brightest star of the night.
But. Compared with the beautiful princess, another heavyweight who was also present at tonight's banquet: a famous beauty in the south of the empire, who was about to become the princess of the empire, Miss Dideli, looked much dimmer.
Legend has it that Miss Dai Li should also be a very beautiful girl. And in the aristocratic circle of the empire, Miss Angel, the sister of the Marquise Liszt of the Liszt family in the north. and Miss Daili, who was born in a southern aristocratic family, are the two most beautiful flowers of the younger generation in the imperial aristocratic circle.
Moreover, when she had just arrived in the city, when Miss Dai Li attended a banquet, everyone was overwhelmed by the unadorned demeanor of the future princess.
Tonight, however, Miss Deli looked haggard. The skin is no longer fair and ruddy, and even looks a little sallow. Sitting there, my eyes were a little glazed. It seems that there is something that is not going to give up.
Hollow eyes. Compared with the radiant Princess Louise beside her, Miss Daily looks more like a sculpture...... And it's the inferior kind.
However, no one was surprised that Miss Delie looked like this. After all. A few days ago, there was news that Miss Dai Li was unfortunately infected in Loulan City.
Sick people, the first recovery from a serious illness, naturally the god will not be very good.
No one will ever know. How has this noble future princess been tortured these days......
After being coerced into writing that letter by Du Wei. Dai Li blamed herself for two whole days. She would wake up almost from a dream, and each time the nightmare was the same thing: the letter was made public, and she was ruined. His title of princess was deposed, and the elder brother of the army commander was deposed and exiled, and the family's hope of revival was cut off forever......
The panic of the whole rì made Dai Li almost sleepless at night. rì can not be eaten. Although after Du Wei "tied" her, he didn't give her any more torture. It also made her move out of that dungeon. Stayed in a guest room in the castle.
However, the tremendous pressure of Jīng's divine land almost made Dai Li almost collapse. She understands it deeply. In front of this Tulip Duke, he can be regarded as a complete defeat, and besides, he will not even have a chance to turn over in the future! As long as Du Wei still holds the letter in his hand for a day, then he must maintain a respectful attitude towards him in the future.
As for the recipes for those secret weapons...... Daily is almost hating it now. It's a pity that it's not so easy to remember things.
When the music played, the guests stood on either side, bowing slightly.
Then, Du Wei, who was dressed in a grand Washington mansion, slowly walked to the front, bowed his head to Princess Louise standing in front of the stage, stretched out his hand, and made an inviting gesture.
In terms of dignity, according to tradition, the first dance of tonight's banquet will be performed by Du Wei and Princess Louise.
Although Du Wei was very lame with this kind of court dance, he was finally not as immature as he was when he danced with Madame Liszt at his coming-of-age ceremony.
Gently holding the princess's arm, both of them were smiling, and they couldn't see that the two of them were like enemies two days ago.
It's just that although they maintained a polite smile on the surface, when the two of them walked off the dance floor, in full view of everyone, the princess with her back to everyone had already lowered her voice and said coldly: "Lord Tulip, I didn't expect you to be wearing an evening dress today...... I thought you liked to run around barefoot [**] with your chest! Didn't you break into my room like that two days ago!"
Du Wei was not angry when he heard this, he just raised his eyebrows, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please pay attention to your words, if such words are spread, they will become scandals." ”
Louise seemed to blush, but she quickly disguised it.
Then, when one of Du Wei's arms wrapped around the princess's waist, the princess only snorted dissatisfied.
In the midst of the music, the two danced the court dance gently, both with one hand behind their backs and the other holding each other.
This kind of court dance, Louise, as a royal princess, is naturally extremely skilled since she was a child. But Du Wei looked a little jerky. This became one of the reasons for Louise to satirize Dewey.
"Lord Duke, I can't believe that you can dance so badly, my little nephew Charlie, who is eight years old
Jump better than you do. ”
"Oh my God. Don't you know what to beat?"
"You almost stepped on my feet! I'm so worried about the lady who dances with you in the future. ”
"Ridiculous...... Lord Duke. Are magicians all monsters who don't know anything about the world, or are you inherently insensitive to music?"
After saying a few words. Du Wei didn't say a word. There was no intention of fighting back. Just smiling. It made Princess Louise a little uneasy - when did this guy become so talkative, and scared himself with a whip in his room the morning before, and starved himself for a day of villain. Isn't it him?
Looking at the princess's somewhat dazed expression. Du Wei smiled slightly. Only then did he finally speak: "Your Highness, have you not lost your anger in your heart? You might as well go on. I'll just listen to it. ”
"You...... What the hell are you up to?" Louise looked at Dewey uneasily.
"No, nothing. Du Wei laughed. Rhythm to the music. Holding the princess in his arms, he made a spin motion. Then he whispered, "I apologize to you for my behavior the day before yesterday." ”
"What did you say?" Louise almost thought she had misheard.
"Yes, no matter what. Being too rude to a lady is always not in line with my principles of being a man. And. I shouldn't have starved you for a day. Du Wei grinned. Immediately he said a sentence later, but his tone changed: "But." If it happens all over again. Maybe I'll do it anyway. ”
"Why?!" Princess Louise said hatefully, "It seems that you are not sincere in apologizing!"
"No! my sincerity has already been expressed. Du Wei smiled kindly. But the eyes are in the eyes. Princess Louise was a little unsightly: "I have to tell you." You shouldn't have beaten my people! Didn't make any mistakes. I will not tolerate others bullying them. None of them! ”
The princess was speechless. She did regret it afterwards. After all, whipping people indiscriminately...... She, Louise, is actually not the kind of unreasonable gentleman, but she was really made angry by Du Weidi's neglect and indifference that day.
"And ......" Du Weidi's eyes deliberately glanced at Miss Dai Li who was sitting there, and then a trace of laughter appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Because of Miss Dai Li's affairs, I think we are not actually standing on a hostile position at all. And. Before. Thank you very much for your cooperation. This thing, I think. Just let it pass like this. You're just being taken advantage of. ”
Princess Louise glanced at the haggard Dailie, and suddenly felt nervous, and said in a trembling voice: "You, what did you do to Daili? Did you hurt her...... You ......"
"Relax, relax!" Duvey pulled Louise and turned. Beneath the music. The two danced. Others don't see anything wrong at all. Du Wei got a little closer to Louise and said in a low voice, "Don't worry." I didn't hurt her...... And I didn't violate her! Rest assured, her hymen was still intact! I had no interest in this kind of woman. Merely. I succeeded in persuading her. Then I persuaded our Royal Highness not to be my enemy in the future - that's all. ”
"Hmph, I don't believe you're so eloquent!" Louise said in a disgruntled tone.
"You're wrong again. Your Highness. At this point, the music finally ended. But Du Wei's last sentence was: "When I persuade others." I never use my mouth - I use my actions. ”
After saying that, Du Wei winked at her and let go of the princess's waist.
The first song ends. The second song is Du Wei dancing with Miss Dailie, who is the second highest guest in the house.
However, Miss Dailie's performance tonight was really substandard.
Princess Louise, who watched coldly, clearly captured a detail: when Du Wei held Miss Daily's hand. Dai Li has a subconscious dodge move. His eyes were full of fear and horror. It seems that he is very afraid of Du Weidi's appearance.
And during the subsequent dance, Dai Li's body was obviously very stiff, and she even accidentally stepped on Du Wei's feet halfway. As a result, this dignified future princess. Immediately, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly apologized to Du Wei in a sincere voice. The words were extremely panicked, as if he was afraid that Du Wei would punish her for such a trivial matter.
With a belly full of suspicions. Halfway through the dinner, Dewey brought General Longbottom to Princess Louise's side.
Tonight two hundred and five generals. A straight military uniform, straight clothes. Polished shiny leather boots. There is also a ceremonial long knife at his waist, all of which highlight the masculinity of his soldiers.
And General Longbottom, although he was a little fatter, but he looked extremely robust, and more importantly. After being dressed up in jīng, the general still looked extremely outstanding.
In fact, Longbottom's appearance is not the kind of sloppy appearance with a full beard. He was a little fat and strong, but his features were quite handsome—if he had lost a third of his weight, he might have been a handsome man.
Provided, of course, that he doesn't speak. After half a lifetime of military career, he is used to leading soldiers, and he has long been accustomed to the kind of foul language.
"Your Highness, this is our Tulip Family's number one general, General Longbottom. Du Wei smiled and introduced: "Early tomorrow morning, he will personally escort you back to Dìdū." ”
Longbottom immediately cooperated, stretched out his snow-white gloved hand, took the little hand handed by the princess, and brought it to his mouth to kiss it—a standard, unfussy kiss.
"It is my honor to escort Your Highness. Longbottom's voice softened a few tones.
Du Wei was relieved - this guy seemed to be really obedient and didn't deliberately make any trouble.
