Chapter 585: The Wind Blows Like a Knife
The wind is like a knife!
After midnight, the Empire had entered the first dawn of the ninety-sixty-sixth year.
And at this moment, on the street of dìdū, a carriage is moving gently, and the groom, who is driving the carriage, hides his head and ears in his hat, and waives his whip vigorously in the cold wind of dawn.
Mrs. Liszt's face was as heavy as water, and the carriage drove on the muddy and bumpy road, and a small table beside the carriage was already cold, and she did not reach for a cup.
In the Duke's Mansion just now, I had a long conversation with Du Wei overnight, and at this moment, every sentence and word still rings in my ears......
"What a big whirlpool......"
Mrs. Liszt finally came to her senses, and with a deep worry on her beautiful countenance, she sighed softly, and finally stretched out two slender fingers, lifted her glass, and drank the cold wine, which was as smooth as her mouth, as if to suppress the irritability in her heart a little.
After a few moments, finally, the carriage stopped, and stopped at the Liszt family's annex in the northwest of Dìdū City, and two white-feathered knights dressed in silver leather armor outside gently knocked on the car door and respectfully invited the beautiful hostess out of the carriage.
"Go...... Go and get the muse to me. Madame Liszt's voice was low.
The attendant beside him seemed to hesitate: "Madam, it's dawn, Miss Muse is afraid that she has already fallen asleep......" "Then drag her out of bed for me!" Madame Liszt snorted and gritted her teeth gently.
After a while, the two sisters finally met in the study. The muse did not sleep, and when she came, she was dressed in a cotton robe, but she was very awake, but her short hair was a little messy.
Mrs. Liszt looked at her sister and dispersed the servants in the room, who she stared at for a long time. He whispered, "I just came back from Du Wei...... I've betrothed you and Gabrie ......"
The muse shook and glared at his sister in surprise: "What?"
"I said, I've betrothed you and Gabriel. You will marry Gabri, Dewey's younger brother. Mrs. Liszt snorted, "Isn't that what you wanted? Tonight, do you know if you've been in trouble?"
The muse frowned: "Is there one?"
"The little emperor likes you. Madame Liszt knew very well the arrogance of her sister, and she did not want to talk to her too much: "You can't marry the emperor." But looking at the empire, if I dare to marry you in this situation, and still have the strength to marry you, there is only the Tulip family!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Liszt's tone finally softened a little: "Don't you, too, like that Gabridi?"
Muse's eyes widened: "Who said I like that kid! Hmph, it's okay for him to accompany me to fight and make trouble, marry him? Sister, what are you kidding?"
"Muse!!!
Madame Liszt suddenly shouted angrily. The voice startled the muse, the beautiful marquise, suppressed her anger. Glaring at his sister: "Don't you still understand the current situation!!!...... You are confused!!"
Madame Liszt walked a few steps around the room, flicked her sleeves irritably, gritted her teeth, and said, "I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to settle this matter......!" At the banquet tonight, you first refused the Emperor's invitation to dance, and then accepted Gabbri's invitation to dance......"
"But it's not a big deal. You know I can't dance and I don't like to dance. The muse pouted: "Then it was Gabrie's stubborn pestering of me - I didn't want to agree, but didn't you tell me before that I should be polite to Du Wei and his brother and not offend them? I just barely gave that kid a face. ”
Madame Liszt was so angry that she almost raised her palm and slapped it, but finally suppressed her anger: "You...... You...... Stupid!!"
She laughed angrily: "When can't you give face! Why do you want to refuse the emperor at this banquet first, and then accept Gabry?"
"It's just a dance, this kind of communion at a banquet. It's not a big deal. ”
Mrs. Liszt looked at her sister, who was still stubborn, and finally sat down weakly, leaned back in a chair, and sighed: "You still don't understand...... If it were a person like Prince Chen, he might not care about losing such a small face. As you say. It's not a big deal either. But who was the man...... Charlie!"
As she spoke, she closed her eyes. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Ascended to the throne at the age of twelve, and still with the aura of the Emperor of Destiny...... Muse, I told you a long time ago, how difficult it is for our family and three women to survive in this group of wolves looking around!
The muse shook his head: "I don't know, isn't it just a twelve-year-old child." ”
Mrs. Liszt smiled weakly: "Twelve-year-old child...... Hmph, he is a twelve-year-old emperor! Young and vigorous, in the powerful people of dìdū, no one is praising his young intelligence, and after I investigated, he is indeed full of wisdom, but he is a little too sharp! Last year's harvest festival was the first time he came to prominence, and he dared to reprimand the head of the Holy Knights of the Temple in front of everyone, including His Majesty the Pope, at a banquet! What kind ......of person is this? It's just a ......"
As she spoke, Madame Liszt gritted her teeth, her face was uncertain, and she slowly said this:
Hmph, I thought carefully about the incident at the celebration of the festival when he rebuked the temple, and everyone outside praised this little boy for how young and clever he was, and how proud he was...... But in my opinion, this is precisely a great stupidity! What is the relationship between the temple and the royal family? How many times have the two sides fought over the centuries? To rebuke the temple, overpower the church, and make the church lose face...... Wouldn't the regent want to do that?
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!!
But what about this little emperor? When he was young and vigorous, he did it! In fact, he is reckless! He is the ruler of the future empire, and now that he has the regent to support the overall situation, he should hide himself well and hide himself under the regent's big umbrella! At this time, the more low-key the better! Naturally, there is a regent to go to the top! What do you want him to do with a little child??
Hmph, I'm afraid that the church doesn't know that the next generation of emperors is very hostile to the church??
It's a good thing that before he officially takes power, I'm afraid the church has already begun to pay attention to him! He could hide behind, but he wants to throw himself in front of the stage...... Is this smart?
In my opinion, this little emperor is clever, but not wise!!"
These words are such a blatant disparagement of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire behind his back. It can be described as a great rebellion.
But if Du Wei had heard the words of this Liszt Madame from the sidelines, I am afraid that he would have to applaud her, just because of these words. It's really three points. This mistress of the Liszt family can stand as a powerful person in the empire for many years with the body of a woman, and she is really smart!
She has never gotten along with little Charlie day and night, and only based on the investigation and analysis of one or two things in the past, she actually analyzed the little emperor's xìng son and style at once, and it was not bad at all!!
If you are not a person who is truly intelligent and wise, you will never be able to analyze it.
Sure enough, as Madame Liszt said, this little emperor. There are little wisdoms, but there is no great wisdom!
Young and too sharp, I don't know how to hide clumsy, if it is in an ordinary powerful family, it is okay, but in the royal family. Or the heir to the throne...... If he can't improve these defects in the future, it will definitely become his Achilles' heel!
The muse was stunned, she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard her sister say such an astonishing remark tonight.
"Don't you understand my painstaking efforts? Madame Liszt waved her hand and attended the banquet to-night. Socialized for one night. Later, he went to see Du Wei and had a long talk all night. She was really exhausted, and at this moment, she had to cheer up and point out her sister, which really made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
She finally took the muse's hand and said softly, "Listen up, Muse. This little Charlie, in my opinion, is definitely not a man of great strength. With his previous style of acting, it is probably impossible for him to just laugh at tonight's events! Moreover, he is so vigorous that he ascended the throne at a young age, and I am afraid that he will not tolerate the disobedience of others in his heart. If he can't get something for a while, I'm afraid it will arouse his greater interest......!
Speaking of this, her face was even more worried, and her face was a little pale: "If you don't get it, there are people next to him to rob him...... I am afraid that the situation will be worse, but it will completely arouse his desire to fight for the land! With his exalted position as emperor, if he really made up his mind to get something...... Fear...... It's not a blessing for you or for our family!"
This beautiful lady really sees things between men and women too thoroughly!
The so-called, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing!
That's the essence!
So...... What is it that inspires a man's possession more than not stealing?
You can't even grab it!
If you can't even grab it, it will make men lose their taste and sleep at night!!
What's more, he is a little emperor with a small amount of energy, young and vigorous, and he is out of the blue, for fear that others will not know that he is smart and powerful? ?
Muse's face was also pale, although she couldn't comprehend all the content of her sister's words at once, but she deeply understood since she was a child that her sister was extremely smart, whether she looked at things or people, she was nine out of ten words!
The muse's pale little face, after a struggle, finally raised his head, looked at Madame Liszt, and there was some deep apology in his tone, but he gritted his teeth and shook his head resolutely!
"No, sister, I'm not marrying that Gabry!"
"Why, why!" said Mrs. Liszt's first reaction was to slap the table.
"I don't like him! I don't want to marry a man I don't like. The Muse resolutely resisted.
Mrs. Liszt did not roar at her sister, she looked at her sister's eyebrows firmly, but suddenly her heart softened, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, that night, she was like the Muse now, she had tried to resist, and did not want to marry her future husband......
"Muse, I am a widow. Mrs. Liszt suddenly said this softly, and the trace of weakness in this voice made the muse, who was accustomed to seeing the strong side of her sister, also shocked her heart.
"Back then...... When I married your dead brother-in-law, did you think I really loved him at that time?" Mrs. Liszt's smile seemed to have a trace of sadness, the smile at the corner of her mouth, the taste, but I don't know how many years of bitterness can be brewed.
"Many times, we women, in this world, have no choice!"
Muse looked at her sister fixedly, her eyes were also full of pain, although her heart was soft at the moment, but when she thought of marrying that person......
Suddenly, a strong resistance arose in her heart, and her mind that had just softened was swept away in an instant.
"I'm not marrying him!!"
With a roar of rage, the muse turned his face and rushed out of the room, walking away quickly.
Mrs. Liszt sat there fixedly, staring blankly at the wide open door, letting the cold wind outside.
The wind is like a knife!
"Really...... It's a big whirlpool. The beautiful woman shook her head slightly, a wry smile on her face.
