At the banquet, everyone looked at this beautiful woman who had suddenly barged in curiously, wondering who she was and what her relationship was with Duke Tulip.
Elder Yan, who was in charge of the guards outside the banquet, was a little surprised. How did this beauty pass the guards outside without a sound, and suddenly broke in
Regarding this question, Dardanelle is not surprised at all. Those who know Medusa's true identity are very clear. With the ability of this beautiful snake, how can a few guards stop her
Angel's heart was beating wildly, and she stared nervously at Queen Medusa. After seeing Du Wei and her drinking with her "Millennium Eyes", Angel's heart was full of complications. Rest assured to avoid loss of life, on the other hand...
Who is this amazingly beautiful woman? As a woman, as an extremely beautiful girl, Angel was faintly curious about Medusa who was also extremely beautiful, even surpassing her. more importantly…
After drinking the "Millennium Eye", this woman, she...why hasn't she opened her eyes yet
As long as she opens her eyes, Du Wei will fall in love with her, right
she, she...
Angel stared at Medusa's face carefully, but what made her more nervous was that Medusa kept her eyes closed from the beginning to the end, as if she had no intention of opening her eyes to see anyone.
This woman... she can't be a blind person, can she
Angel guessed in her heart.
Compared with her younger sister's wild thoughts, Mrs. Liszt's mind is much simpler. When the wine glass was robbed. Watching his well-prepared trump card being destroyed in this way. Mrs. Lister's mind was completely empty.
It's over! That is the last millennium eye!
But Miss Nicole didn't seem to feel the many eyes around her at all. Gently put down the glass. As if smiling. Just said: "Well. I heard that you are going to the imperial capital. This time, you have to take me with you. Don't think about leaving me alone in the corner. Otherwise... I will be very angry .”
The last few words made Du Wei feel a chill in the back of his head.
Miss Nicole is not one of her subordinates. The reason why she ran back and forth with herself. To put it bluntly, it depends on her mood. If I annoy her... This woman is really angry. You can make yourself a big trouble casually.
subsequently. This is Her Majesty Queen Medusa. Turn around and leave. Only sighs and meaningful eyes in the banquet hall were left. Many people had the same thought in their hearts: our young Lord Duke. But it's very windy...
Medusa left. But it seemed as if all the strength of the Liszt sisters had been exhausted. The two sisters were generally pale. The subsequent toast was even more distraught. Even the shrewd Mrs. Lister. When speaking, they are obviously a little flustered. Du Wei saw it. I can't help but have some doubts in my heart. But after all, there is no clue. I was a little puzzled. I don't think much about it.
subsequently. After the toast is over. Mrs. Lister excused herself from being unwell. Not waiting for the engagement ceremony to take place. Just left quietly first. Angel took a deep look at Du Wei standing in front. Lamented for a lifetime. I went out with my sister.
For many guests. This is just a small episode. It's just that after going back, there is one more gossip to talk about in private. Next comes the engagement ceremony. That's the main event.
With the guard of honor sounding the salute. The people outside opened the main entrance of the banquet hall, and Vivienne was dressed in a costume. Finally appeared in front of everyone.
Vivian is fifteen years old this year. The figure has not fully grown, although it lacks a bit of the charm of a mature woman. But it is better than being pure and pleasant. The duke's mansion has a lot of money to support local ceremonial masters and tailors. The land is indeed not a place to eat dry food. The specially made pure white long group suits perfectly to bring out Vivienne's unique taste of innocence and innocence, and white symbolizes purity and holiness. It is also very in line with the atmosphere of today's ceremony.
Vivienne seemed a little embarrassed, her eyes dodged a little. Don't dare to meet the eyes shot from around. Come step by step. It seems more nervous. There was even a bouquet of tulips tightly clutched in those white and tender hands. Also trembling slightly.
Narrow waist skirt design. Makes her boobs that were only slightly in size. It is slightly larger than the actual size, and the hairstyle is carefully designed. She coiled up her originally soft long hair. Revealing the slender neck curve. Thus. It's a little more feminine. It seems that she is a beautiful and graceful girl. It's no longer that picture of an underage girl.
Dress like this. It also made Du Wei feel relieved... No matter what, if he pulls a girl who looks very young to get engaged. There will still be some guilt in my heart.
Vivian was a little nervous. The pace is a little faster. Before the ceremonial trumpet was blown, it had already come to Du Wei. Looking at Vivienne's carefully groomed face. Du Wei smiled lightly. His eyes immediately softened.
This girl seems to have been tossed for a long time by several makeup masters from the palace. On a hibiscus-like face, there is light makeup. Lips that were a little lacking in color. A little more blush. On the cheeks, there was a blush. It also made the girl's shyness and beauty come to the fore.
Du Wei stretched out his hand and held Vivienne. I felt the sweat on the girl's palm, and also felt the coldness of the opponent's hand. Du Wei smiled lightly and whispered, "Are you cold?"
Vivian raised her head, blinking her eyes. Carefully whispered: "No... not cold."
Actually, it's winter now. Although in the banquet hall of the castle grounds of the Duke's Mansion. The blazing fireplace was burning, but wearing only a thin long dress like Vivienne would still be a bit cold—and the magician. He has never been good at physical fitness.
Feeling Vivian's cold little hands, Du Wei felt pity in his heart. Pulling her close to him. Vivian was still nervous at first. But stop by Du Wei's side. It was held warmly by Du Wei. Immediately, I felt a lot more relaxed.
Many guests focused their attention on Vivienne. Although the previous position on the Liszt sisters. There is also the guessing of the mysterious beauty that appeared in the episode, etc., which made people a little more gossip. But when Vivian appeared. This pure and beautiful girl. Immediately won the favor of all the guests present.
Your Excellency the Duke... the beauty is not shallow! This female mage Vivienne. She was born so beautiful!
As usual. Because Du Wei is not a believer in the temple. Such a ceremony did not invite the staff of the temple to preside over it. And Ma De, the groom who was born as the general manager. Once again, Du Weila came up to play the role of elder. After all, this temporary ceremony was held. It was too late to invite Du Weidi's parents from Luolin Plain.
Although Made was born as a groom. But Du Wei treats this loyal old servant. I still sincerely treat them as family members. As for a man of groom origin. Is it necessary to stand on the stage on such an occasion... this is a question. Lord Tulip himself doesn't care. Others. Who dares to talk too much
After taking an oath. Even if the two officially settled on the marriage contract. subsequently. All the guests present gave their own gifts. Among them, the gift from Count Villa was the most expensive. This rich Earl. One hundred pairs of South Sea pearls were presented. There are also various jewelry and diamonds, etc., which are usually women's favorite things.
but. Vivienne doesn't seem to be very interested in the vulgar things these women like. It was the gift from General Longbottom that made Vivian the most excited. The two hundred and five generals presented a pair of lands who had just been born under the full moon. A purebred prairie sheepdog. It is said that all dogs belong to noble blood...
The other guests naturally expressed that Du Wei was also using the engagement ceremony. Little made a windfall.
After the brief ceremony. The guests dispersed. Only then did Vivienne show a relaxed expression. This little girl who is used to keeping a low profile on weekdays. Some are not suitable for such occasions.
It was after being returned to the room by Du Weila. She suddenly became tense.
Watching Du Wei turn and close the door. Vivienne's heart immediately rose to her throat...
he. He... he wouldn't want to...
Heartbeat suddenly one hundred and eighty!
Although he already has a heartfelt love for Du Wei. Today, I can make a marriage contract with Du Wei in front of everyone. It has filled her girlish heart with happiness and joy. On weekdays, although the relationship with Du Wei is close. But the most intimate move of the two. And only occasionally Du Wei hugged himself quietly. Just kiss yourself.
Often these moves. It was enough to make Vivian blush for a long time.
Tonight... Could it be tonight...
Du Wei smiled kindly. Walked in front of Vivienne. Look at this girl's small hands. Fingers twisted and twisted. Biting his lip. Like a frightened fawn. Smiled lightly. Walked in front of Vivienne. He pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.
This is Vivian's bedroom. It wasn't the first time Du Wei came in. But at a moment like tonight, in Vivienne's eyes. Du Wei's every move seemed to have an "ulterior motive". Although she didn't resist in her heart what Du Wei really did to herself...or rather. In the girl's heart. Already ready to sacrifice. But, after all, it's coming to an end. Nervousness is always inevitable.
Du Wei held Vivian's wrist. Suddenly smiled: "Your pulse is so fast. Are you afraid of me?"
"Hmm..." Vivian nodded subconsciously, then realized that the answer was inappropriate, and quickly shook her head: "Ah no!"
Every time I see this girl panicking. Du Wei couldn't help but want to deliberately bully her. He whispered, "Then what's wrong with you? Nervous?"
"Hmm..." Vivienne felt that Du Wei was getting too close, and even the other party's breath was sprayed on her face, and her face couldn't help burning.
My heart was so tense that my mind went blank. I don't know how. Suddenly remembered today before the ceremony started. While dressing up in the room by myself. The etiquette and... those embarrassing things that those court etiquette masters taught themselves.
At this moment, Xiao Nizi was extremely nervous. But on the contrary, he was even more cranky... Could it be? Do you really want to do this? After all, the man in front of him. He is no longer simply the "Du Wei" he knows. He is already his future husband.
Think here. Vivian's heart skipped a beat. Almost with a determination to die, he stood up tremblingly. Then walked to the front of Du Wei. Her body and movements were a little stiff. The voice trembled even more nervously. However, he still complied with what the court etiquette masters taught him today. Make a somewhat feminine gesture. With a "soft" voice, she whispered: "Duke, Your Excellency... I. I will undress you..."
finished. His face was so red that it was almost bleeding. But he stretched out his hand tremblingly. But he unbuttoned Du Wei's clothes.
Look at this innocent girl. Act like a little lady. Du Wei almost burst out laughing. Vivienne has done her homework. Just in a panic. The voice is far from "soft". Soft is soft enough. Mei is absolutely gone. On the contrary, there was a bit of timidity and fear. As for reaching out to unbutton Du Wei's lichen. The action is right. Just because the fingers trembled so badly. One button has been undone for a long time, but it has not been undone.
Vivienne became more and more nervous. The more you can't do it well. In the end, I felt wronged again. I was at a loss again, and suddenly my nose became sore. Tears flowed out.
Du Wei sighed. Pulling her into his arms, he lifted Xiao Nizi up and let her sit on his lap. He hugged her waist tightly again. Flicking her teardrops away with one hand, she smiled softly: "Okay, okay. It's my fault. This kind of thing should have been initiated by us men. You are a simple girl. Nervousness and fear are inevitable. "
Vivian felt even more wronged. But tightly hugged Du Wei's neck. Weeping in a low voice: "You... Do you think I... I'm not feminine?"
Feminine
Du Wei laughed: "These things. Are these things taught to you by the court etiquette masters today? Hehe, do you know what femininity is? Is it just walking with your waist twisted and talking with your nose pinched? This is called femininity." ?”
Looking into Vivienne's eyes. Du Wei said softly: "You know. I like you very much. But what I like is this Vivienne I know. This girl who stutters a bit, has a pure and kind heart, and is easily shy..."
"But..." Vivian seemed to hesitate for a while. But he said something that even surprised Du Wei!
"But... I know. I'm no match for Mrs. Lister."
This sentence is extremely smooth. He didn't stutter at all, it was obviously a thought that had been held in Vivian's mind for a long time!
"Yi? Why do you think so?" Du Wei was a little surprised.
Vivian sighed faintly. Then he whispered: "I... I know. Liszt. Mrs. Liszt wants to marry you. I... I am not as beautiful as her. No. Not as elegant as her. Even, even her sister. Angel, she. They are more like me. More like a noble lady. I... I'm just a reclusive little girl... I, I'm afraid I can't be. I can't be... a duchess."
Du Wei sighed inwardly. It seems that this girl. Although simple. But it's not without worries. She must have been worrying about these things for a long time.
Definitely. Decide immediately. Why don't you express your thoughts today so that this girl won't be troubled in the future.
"Vivian, let me tell you the truth." Du Wei tightened his arms around Vivian's waist, and then said with a smile: "I admit, Mrs. Liszt and her sister are both beautiful... and, It is indeed very tempting. I am afraid that there are very few men in the world who will not be tempted. But you have to understand that this kind of "temptation" is completely different from my feelings for you. Do you understand?"
Looking at Vivian's dazed eyes, Du Wei smiled gently and said, "You have to understand a man's mind. It's a man's nature to be tempted by beauty, but some people are more obvious, while others are better at controlling it." But, it doesn’t mean that if you are tempted, you will marry that woman as your wife. Temptation is only temporary. To say something ugly, a man’s temptation to a beautiful woman is mostly out of physical and instinctive desire. If... Hehe, If you get that woman, the urge to be tempted will disappear. But if you really like it, it will be very different! I like you very much, because you make me feel at ease and comfortable, and when I am with you, I always I feel very relaxed and happy.”
Speaking of this, Du Wei suddenly sighed, and said in a low voice: "Now everyone thinks that I am very beautiful, powerful, and very popular. However, there is not a day when I don't feel the pressure! I usually, and Philip .With Longbottom and the others, the daily discussions and troubles are calculations and calculations. Today I calculate others, and tomorrow I have to calculate how to develop myself. I work hard every day. There is no moment for my mind to rest and relax. But as long as I am with you When..." Du Wei suddenly looked into Vivienne's eyes, and couldn't help revealing a trace of fascination in his eyes: "Just look into your eyes. Look at the way you smile so cleanly. I can put all the worries in my heart away. Throw it away, at least. At that moment, I don't have to think about anything. What kind of intrigue. What kind of grassland people of the Northwest Army. "
"To me, a wife is a very simple identity." Du Wei continued: "I want my wife. It's as simple as that, stay with me. Help me guard the house. Be my woman with peace of mind. Don't I don't have to think about anything. That's enough for me. At least. When I'm exhausted outside. Go home. Go back to the room. And you. Can give me a simple smile. A simple smile Environment. With you, I don’t have to think about whether there is any deep meaning in every sentence of yours, and whether there is any temptation. I don’t have to worry about whether every smile of yours is real or fake... This is the way The wife and family I look forward to. It allows me to let go of all my pretense and defenses, and relax myself comfortably."
Then he looked at Vivian. He whispered: "These. Only you can give me. As for the Mrs. Liszt you mentioned... To be honest, I talked to her. Every word she said. I have to think and think. Guess and guess... like this A woman. No matter how beautiful she is. If I marry her as my wife, I will have to guess other people’s thoughts when I go out every day. When I get home, I still have to guess my wife’s thoughts... Am I exhausted? This kind of life. And What fun?"
Vivienne seemed to have realized something, and was a little relieved. Then he couldn't help but whispered: "But...but. I know, Mrs. Liszt. She is very, very smart. You have a lot of things to do now. There are many troublesome things. She, she can help you..."
Du Wei laughed. Said: "Help me? Vivian, Vivian. Who told you these words? I just ask you, do I need a wife or an assistant? If I need a career helper, I have Philip They can do it. Philip can help me too, shall I marry Philip too?"
Vivian was taken aback: "Ah! He's a man!"
"That's right!" Du Wei immediately said: "Look, if Mrs. Liszt can help me in my career, I can be her friend and ally. If she is willing, I can hire her as my staff But... why must she come to be my wife? Just because she is "useful" to me? You have to understand. Things like marriage. It's because of feelings! Not because of "usefulness"! If it's because of "usefulness" Marriage. Then such a marriage is purely a naked exchange. What fun is there?"
Speaking of which. Du Wei took a deep breath: "My greatest wish now is to be able to freely control my life! Not to be controlled by others! If even my own marriage will fall into the naked exchange of interests! Such a life. And What kind of freedom is there?!"
"But… "
Du Wei frowned: "There's nothing left."
He reached out and gently pinched Vivian's nose. He smiled softly and said, "Say one thousand, say ten thousand, let me say the simplest thing!"
"What?"
"The biggest difference between you and Mrs. Liszt!" Du Wei's eyes were full of tenderness, staring at his fiancée in his arms, and said softly, "Think about it, if I wasn't the Duke, would Mrs. Liszt want to marry me?" ? But you, even if I'm not the Duke, I know that you have the same heart for me!"
This is the real difference! It is also Du Wei's truth!
Why did Mrs. Liszt try her best to impress Du Wei even at the expense of moving her family to the northwest and putting all her family strength on Du Wei
It's a simple truth!
Du Wei deeply understands that if he is still an unloved young master of Luo Lin's family, Mrs. Liszt will not look at him no matter what! Even if he saved her life, the other party was just grateful. Never give birth to the idea of marrying yourself! After all, Mrs. Liszt is going to marry "Duke Tulip", not Du Wei!
Mrs. Lister is going to marry Du Wei, because Du Wei is the "Duke Tulip".
But, Vivienne. What she likes is Du Wei, not "Duke Tulip"! It was at that time that two people were stranded on Alcatraz Island. That young Du Wei who would rather eat grass roots by himself than give food to Vivienne!
emotion. Not an exchange of benefits.
Perhaps others will be willing to exchange benefits with marriage.
But I don't want to!
I will walk the path of my own choice!
Because, I am Du Wei!
this night. Du Wei didn't "get involved" with his little fiancée. It's purely because I don't want to destroy this bud that hasn't grown yet. Maybe... wait until she's a little older.
The two talked a lot, and finally Vivian fell asleep in Du Wei's arms exhausted.
after dawn. Du Wei walked out of Vivian's room early. The little fiancee who was sleeping soundly was left behind. Then began to prepare everything for returning to the imperial capital.
After a few days. Du Wei was extremely busy.
Huidi is not just a casual tour. As a party lord. Going back to the imperial capital is naturally indispensable to meet with many dignitaries in the imperial capital. No matter how many relationships you have, you need to keep in touch with each other. It is inevitable to prepare a large number of gifts. It's not that Du Wei needs to curry favor with anyone. After all, with his current status. Most people will come to curry favor with him. But making friends is always necessary.
And after I left. Many things in the Duke's Mansion need to be arranged.
In the end Du Wei made a decision and summoned all his men. Announced his decision-making power after leaving.
"If you're undecided about internal matters, ask Philip. If you're undecided about external affairs, ask Longbottom!"
In fact, in the second half of the sentence, Du Wei almost said "ask two hundred and five if you are not sure about foreign affairs." Fortunately, his identity was taken into account. When the words came to his lips, he changed his words temporarily.
In addition, for those who will return to the imperial capital with him. Du Wei thought and thought.
Go back this time. There shouldn't be any danger. After all, the situation in the imperial capital is stable now. I am rightfully favored, and no one will deal with me. and. Now Du Wei's own strength is not weak. As long as he doesn't meet any top powerhouse in the mainland, he will have the strength to fight.
But... the dragon clan, after all, they still have to worry about it. The old dragon died a son. I won't let myself go even more. I don't know if they have finished fighting the criminals in the north now. After the fighting is over, I am afraid they will come to trouble themselves. Therefore, it is also necessary to bring a few masters for protection.
However, Hussein was the first to be rejected by Du Wei. Just kidding... he is the most wanted man in the temple! Take him back, if he is recognized by the people of the temple, it will be completely finished.
Rodriguez was also denied by Du Wei. After all, this paladin almost killed Prince Chen during the coup d'état, he is regarded as the core master of rebellion! Prince Chen must have known that he had recruited such a master. He didn't say anything, and he was already giving himself a lot of face. If I still bring Rodriguez back to the imperial capital and dangle it under the eyes of Prince Chen, I really don't know how to measure it!
So... Gandolf in the green robe is definitely not allowed to take the land. Once he comes, the reason is similar to that of Rodriguez. Secondly, this old guy has a weird temper. If you take him there, you may not be able to dispatch him. If he makes a fuss, it will still be troublesome.
In the end, out of desperation, Queen Medusa was chosen! The queen has been neglected for too long, and has gradually become a little dissatisfied. At the beginning, she came out with him because he promised to take her to experience the human world, but now it seems that most of the time, he just left her in the room to sleep.
I'm afraid I would be full of resentment if I were myself.
Moreover, on the day of the engagement, she also said that she wanted to go out with her. If she refused... Then it would be no fun for the queen to turn her face!
Fortunately, although this Medusa has a weird temper, after all, her mind is relatively simple, and she is not as difficult to deal with as the old guy with a green hat. Even if something happens, with Du Wei's rhetoric, I believe she can still deal with it. Miss Nicole, just listen Arranged by myself.
Besides, the beauty snake's strength is also terrifying, leading her on the road is a top expert.
In this way, three days after the engagement, Du Wei prepared everything, took his men and horses, and prepared to set off on the road back to the imperial capital.
This time, besides the bodyguard Elder Yan and other bodyguards, he brought a snake and a bird (Master QQ) with him on the road.
Before leaving, all the generals and staff, as well as his fiancée Vivienne, all went to the gate of the city to see him off. As for the Liszt sisters, they didn't show up—in fact, Du Wei was puzzled that the pair of sisters seldom came to see him since he got engaged. As for the Muse boy of Liszt's family, because Du Wei didn't like it, he was thrown to another small town early, and went to study with the disciple of Lan Hai in the name of euphemism.
The Liszt sisters didn't see themselves, probably because after their engagement, they finally gave up. fair enough…
Du Wei stood beside the carriage, said goodbye to everyone around him, and hugged his little fiancée again.
Then, Du Wei was about to get into the car, when all the generals behind him shouted in a mighty and majestic voice at the same time: "I wish the Lord Duke a smooth journey back to Beijing, and he will be promoted!"
After finishing speaking, more than a dozen majestic generals stretched out their hands to Du Wei and raised their middle fingers at the same time...
Du Wei almost got off the car somersault, and then glanced at Vivienne: "You... You taught them, right?"
Seeing his beautiful little fiancée, like everyone else, raised the middle finger to him, Du Wei almost felt like hitting his head to death.
Gritting his teeth, Du Wei turned around and got into the carriage, and said fiercely to the driver, "Lufik! Let's go!"
Lufik... that is, the future king of the United Kingdom of Nanyang, the current coachman of the Duke of Tulip, has been in the northwest for a year, and has been with Du Wei. The original boy has become much stronger. After hearing the order, He looked at Du Wei in awe, and honestly flicked his horsewhip...
After driving for ten miles, they came to a hillside on the road east of Loulan City. From a distance, they saw a few white horses waiting there on the uphill. When they arrived in front of them, they were clearly white-feathered knights from the Liszt family. .
Most of the white-feathered knights have been incorporated into Du Wei's cavalry division, and these few are Mrs. Liszt's personal followers.
A white-feathered knight rode up to Du Wei's convoy. From a long distance, in order to show that he was not malicious, the knight had already stretched out his hand, indicating that he did not carry any weapons.
When Du Wei saw this white feather knight, his heart moved...
"My lord duke." The knight rode to Du Wei's carriage, performed a knight ceremony on the horse, and then said politely: "I am waiting here by the order of the marquis. The marquis said, you are coming back this time." The imperial capital is busy with affairs, but you have an honorable status, and you don’t want to show your face about some small things. Our Liszt family also has a lot of property and manpower in the imperial capital. If you need it, you can send it. Madam asked me to send this badge, With this family crest, we can mobilize all the human and financial resources of the Liszt family in the imperial capital."
After speaking, he got off the horse, and handed the badge into the window of the carriage with both respectful hands. Afterwards, without saying much, he turned around and got on his horse, gave another knight's etiquette, turned around and rode away.
Watching the White Feather Knight leave, Du Wei pinched the badge in his hand and sighed in his heart: This Mrs. Liszt still refuses to give up...
It's the second time to embark on the road to the imperial capital. This time, what will be waiting for Du Wei in the imperial capital
Looking forward to it!
