0156 Convoy & Road

On Tuesday morning, the moon had just completely disappeared, and the sun would not rise for more than an hour, which was the darkest time.

However, under the illumination of thousands of blubber street lights, the entire Sequoia Avenue was shaken as bright as day, and the usually quiet Sequoia Avenue was noisy in advance in this extremely luxurious light.

Coal, flour, spices, lamps...... Boxes and baskets of various sizes, piles of expensive utensils, mountains of ribbon flannel......

Horse-drawn carriages carrying various supplies and congratulatory gifts almost completely filled the wide freight lane, and these horse-drawn carriages connected in front and back were like long intertwined dragons, winding towards the Lane Manor at the end of Sequoia Avenue......

Tsk, it's worthy of Duke Lionheart's raid ceremony, but I'm really willing to spend money!

After poking her head out of a two-wheeled light carriage and looking at the long queue in front of her, she seemed to be a little uncomfortable blown by the cold wind of late autumn, and the young woman in a light cyan dress hurriedly retracted back into the carriage, touched her round nose that was frozen red, and muttered:

"I made a mistake, I knew it was so cold today, so I would have worn two more clothes when I came out."

「……」

Looking at the young woman who was so cold that she was hot in her hand and stomped her feet rudely, the middle-aged lady sitting opposite endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but remind:

"Your Highness Veronica, even if you sneak out, please pay attention to your demeanor!"

"Spare me today, I'm too cold to take care of my manners, seriously, if I can warm up the carriage now, let alone just pay attention to my manners, let me go down and dance for you."

After smiling and amusing the middle-aged noblewoman, the young woman tugged at her woolen shawl to cover the two white hills that almost jumped out of the edge of her petticoat, and then leaned sideways against the window of the car and continued to observe the convoy outside.

"There are a lot of people here today......

Squinting her eyes at the gallop road reserved for the nobles for a while, and counting the number of carriages that passed, the beautiful young woman said with a smile:

"Calendula, Mandarin Bird, Light Shield...... Hehe, in just such a short period of effort, the three great nobles have already passed, and it seems that the inheritance of the Ryan family is indeed attractive enough.

Regardless of whether they should come or not, everyone who has the ability wants to take the opportunity to come over and take a bite, and today's raid ceremony will probably be very lively!"

「……」

I don't know if it's going to be lively later, but this skirt is a little too hot when worn on you!

Looking at the pair of plumps that the young woman was almost squeezed out of the front because of the posture of leaning on the window frame, the middle-aged lady couldn't help but jump her eyelids, hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled her back, and said with annoyance in her eyes:

"Your Highness, watch your manners! Is......

In case your identity is revealed during the ceremony, the whole royal family will be disgraced to see you dressed in such an inappropriate attire! Why don't you find a dress that fits a little bit and come out!"

"This ...... I can't help it......

After looking down at the dress on her body, the young woman reached out and pulled the flower folds around her waist, allowing the middle-aged lady to see how much was vacant, and then said helplessly:

"My skirt is a special size, usually made-to-order, this is already the most suitable skirt I can find in a hurry, I don't believe you look at how empty the waist is, and if it is bigger, it will not be able to wear."

「……」

Looking at the dress that was originally simple in shape, but it looked particularly impactful when worn on her, the corners of the middle-aged lady's mouth couldn't help twitching twice.

I saw that she snatched the young woman's shawl a little rudely, and then tore off the tassels from the cushions of the carriage, and tied a dozen flower buckles on the side of the shawl, and made a net to cover the placket.

Putting the modified shawl back on the young woman, looking at her chest blocked by the fringed net, the middle-aged lady couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then gritted her teeth and threatened:

"When you get to the manor later, even if you die of heat,

This shawl can't be taken off either, it must be worn properly! Do you hear that?"

No way?

The young woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after looking down at the unusually thick shawl, her pretty face couldn't help but flush with a touch of embarrassment.

"This is pure wool weaving, or the densest stitches, and besides, there is a charcoal stove burning in Ryan Manor, if you don't take off your shawl......

"Her Highness Veronica!"

"Okay, okay, I just don't take off my shawl."

Looking at the look of "wear it or die" on the face of the middle-aged lady, knowing that this was already the bottom line of the other party, the young woman had to sigh, honestly cover the shawl, and then poke her head out of the window again and looked at the traffic outside the window.

"By the way, you told me to go down the road, it's really a good idea, if you go down the road, you can't see so many interesting things."

Several carriages painted with three bronze crowns galloped down the gallop, and the young woman, while counting the number of nobles participating in the ceremony, smiled at the worried middle-aged noblewoman:

"Behold, the third earl of the little deflated man is also here, and I wonder if he has brought that cabbage with him?"

The Third Earl?

After hearing the young woman's words, the middle-aged lady couldn't help frowning, and asked:

"Your Highness, the Third Earl of Xiao Qi...... What does that mean?"

"It's an expletive."

The young woman explained with a smile:

"The new Duke Lionheart, a few days ago, had a little conflict with this little deflated third earl, after discovering that he obviously had the title of earl, but there were only three basic feathers on the coat of arms, he directly poked the coat of arms on his chest with his fingers, and said with disdain that he was a little deflated three, which almost made him angry on the spot.

After the third earl woke up, in order to take revenge on the Duke of Lionheart's taunt, he put a cabbage at home in turn, and then threatened that Duke Lionheart's position as a duke would rot faster than the cabbage in his house."

After giving the middle-aged lady a scientific introduction to the origin of the "Little Deflated Third Earl" and the "Duke of Cabbage", the young woman smiled crookedly and said:

"Although he is about to inherit the Duke throne, that Duke Lionheart feels like a ...... Very not aristocratic. The reason why I have to come to the Raid Ceremony today is to see what else he can do interestingly."

Your Highness...... After all, he is still a young man who likes to be lively......

Seeing the young woman smiling very happily, no longer frowning and thinking about it all day long, the middle-aged lady's heart couldn't help but soften slightly, and then she just wanted to ask something, but she heard a sudden noise from behind.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"The royal family travels, pedestrians retreat!"

The two people in the carriage looked back in surprise to find that the boundary barrier that temporarily separated the cargo lane and the gallop road had been forcibly pushed down, and then piled up on the side of the road in a very rough manner.

Next, two teams of brightly dressed guards, armed with long poles with curved ends and designed to drive people, drove a large number of dodging carriages out of the road, forcibly widening the road in the middle of Sequoia Avenue and letting in a luxurious carriage drawn by eight horses.
