"Why was it delivered to you?!"
Seeing the gorgeous and elegant invitation, Ye Qingxuan suddenly started to have a headache.
"Who told you to run away without a trace this month, and not even say hello to the palace when you returned to Avalon? If the invitation is not sent to the Inquisition, where else can it be sent?"
Shi Dong looked at him with a helpless expression: "Besides, in your situation, it would be an exaggeration to say you were treason in any other place. I just sent you an invitation to dance with you at the ball... Could you Are you worried that she will fall out and drop the cup, and ten saints will jump out and escort you to the Holy City?"
"This is not the same thing at all!"
"Then what else do you want? You've taken all the kickbacks and won't do anything?"
Shi Dong is the most anxious. The Inquisition is now eating from Angel's sponsorship. The royal family's support has brought many benefits. If Ye Qingxuan gives up here, the good life of the Inquisition will be gone after only a few days. !
Ye Qingxuan was anxious: "When did I get the kickback?"
"Haha, really?"
Shi Dong smiled strangely: "Your Highness, 'Prince of Avalon', you are such a noble person who forgets things."
Ye Qingxuan immediately said: "The situation was critical at that time, so I didn't think much about it! How did I know that there was something wrong with this title!"
"You've already accepted it, so what do you want?"
Shi Dong asked back: "Besides, aren't you quite happy to be this prince? You said you didn't want it, but when it came time to get the benefits, you didn't show mercy."
Ye Qingxuan is now brewing a mouthful of old blood and spraying it on this old bastard's face.
But even if you spray him with a bathtub, it won't help.
For so many days, Ye Qingxuan was very busy, traveling almost all over Angru, but he would not go back to Angru. After returning to Angru, he visited various places non-stop, and his schedule was overcrowded, but he never returned to the palace to report. Overdue... The reasons are all here in the final analysis.
It's a pity that he has memorized almost half of the Avalon Royal Library, but he doesn't care much about state affairs at all.
How did he know that the title "Prince of Avalon" has been held by the queen's husband throughout the ages
No wonder Mary looked so decisive when she gave him authority.
Now Ye Qingxuan discovered that with this title entrusted to him, it was not just the rights of Vice Lord Angel...
What else could he do
I can only run away, pretend to be an ostrich, bury my head in the sand, and pretend that I don’t know anything.
But the problem is that this is very unkind. It can be said that it is extremely unkind. If word spreads, I'm afraid Ye Qingxuan himself will become a typical example of the new generation of scumbags.
Now after waiting for a month, the queen finally sent the invitation.
Although it was just a dance, it was undoubtedly necessary for him to express his attitude.
"Why are you hesitating... You are not at a disadvantage!" Stone looked at him sideways: "Do you think the Queen is ugly?"
Ye Qingxuan's expression was bitter: "Not ugly."
Not only is she not ugly, she can be said to be stunningly beautiful. What's even more rare is that she has an awe-inspiring and noble temperament. Even if she is controlled by a curse and is covered in blood, she is still so charming and beautiful that people dare not look directly at her.
Shi Dong asked again: "Is there something wrong with your character?"
"No, no problem."
Not only is it okay
When she was a princess, Mary was known in Avalon for her upright character, and like her mother, she was willing to sacrifice herself for Angel.
After solving the dragon blood curse, there was no problem and no fault could be found.
Shi Dong asked again: "Is that because she is not good enough to you?"
"No, good to me."
Ye Qingxuan was ashamed.
More than just good? It's almost too good to be true. Not only was he willing to share the rights of heaven and Angel on earth with him, but he also never refused Ye Qingxuan's request. As long as Ye Qingxuan nodded, even Angel was given to him.
After hearing this, Shi Dong took a deep breath, and then roared in his ear:
"Then why are you so hesitant?"
"I, I... I..." Ye Qingxuan was forced to panic and slapped his thigh: "I am a clergyman! I am an archbishop! I cannot get married!"
"laugh!"
Shi Dong spat out a mouthful of phlegm and looked disdainful: "Now you remember that you are a clergyman? What a pity, all the great judges in the past have married families! There is also a stallion who has found dozens of lovers and children. Where is the world..."
Ye Qingxuan was silent and stopped talking.
After a long while, he waved his hand: "Anyway, just say I have something to do and decline for me... I need to calm down."
After that, without waiting for Shi Dong to say anything else, he walked away quickly, as if running away.
But when he opened the door, he saw the golden retriever squatting on the ground outside.
The hound looked at him sideways, with disdain in his eyes, and opened his mouth to show off his full set of fangs.
—Baby, the whole family is very disappointed in you!
Ye Qingxuan's legs suddenly became weak and he almost sat on the ground when he shivered.
"I go!"
Without waiting for Lao Fei to say anything, Ye Qingxuan ran back to Shi Dong at the same speed as when he left, grabbed the invitation, and solemnly commanded:
"Prepare the best dress for me!"
So, in a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere, the matter was solved.
Lao Fei nodded with satisfaction and disappeared.
…
…
The next evening, seven o'clock.
There was a lot of traffic in front of the palace square.
In the faint sound of music behind the palace gate, the attendants walked quickly, fast but elegantly, preparing for the upcoming dinner in an orderly manner.
The well-dressed nobles and their female companions walked slowly and handed their invitations to the envoys. However, they were not in a hurry to enter. Instead, they gathered in front of the palace gate, chatting and laughing with acquaintances.
This is the first ball held by the Queen since she ascended the throne, and it is still an excellent opportunity for upstarts from all over the world to make their mark. At present, a large number of important positions in various departments are still vacant. Maybe during this dance, several fat positions can be filled.
Among the crowd, several young people were chatting and being attentive to a smiling middle-aged man.
The Viscount of Belfast, who was recently promoted by the Queen to the role of Royal Treasurer, is a popular figure in this circle.
The Belfast family has served the royal family for generations and is in charge of the royal family's private treasury purse. They are truly important figures.
Moreover, this person also holds shares in the East Tianzhu Trading Company, and plays a leading role for the new nobles who have made their fortune in the East Tianzhu colony.
His attitude is sometimes that of the Queen. If you can get some inside information from him, many things can be done with less effort.
In terms of character, this elder is also known as a loyal and reliable elder in the dirty aristocratic circle and is trustworthy.
Many people have asked him for his investment advice, hoping to get some advice. It's just that on this occasion, the Viscount of Belfast is unlikely to break any violent news. He will just talk about some private information that has been circulated in the circle to deal with it.
"Now, the industries in the East Tianzhu Colony are saturated and not suitable for investment. However, tea is a way to go. In the past two years, the insect pests have been serious, the quality of some tea gardens has declined, and capital turnover is difficult. If you buy the bottom at this time, wait until In a few years, the returns may be quite good.”
After finishing speaking, Belfast was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "The shipbuilding industry that Mr. Bligh just mentioned is certainly profitable, but it also requires huge funds to operate. If you are interested, you can pay attention to the domestic manufacturing industry... "
Following the Queen's instructions, he leaked a little bit: "Especially in weaving and industry, there will be major and good news in a few months."
In the past, Belfast's tone was generally vague and he tried to use words like maybe, maybe, etc., but it was rare to see him make such a decisive decision on a matter.
As a weather vane for investment and financial management, everyone around him was immediately shocked and asked for any inside information. Some people politely invited him to taste this year's new wine after the dinner, hoping that he could reveal a little bit about it. But Belfast has turned away from the topic, which is disappointing.
While they were talking, Belfast stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. He raised his head stiffly and looked towards the end of the square. When he saw the dark carriage slowly and steadily, he ignored the politeness and said: After saying sorry, he hurried over without even taking care of his female companion.
Everyone looked at each other, and those with a little bit of vision had already reacted. After being stunned, they hurriedly chased after him.
In the entire Avalon, there were originally only two people who liked to use this black carriage without the emblem.
One is Maxwell, the former Lord Privy Seal, and the other is Lancelot, the former leader of the Knights of the Round Table and the head of the second department.
And now both of those people are gone.
There is only one person left who can freely travel in and out of Avalon in this low-key black carriage.
Maxwell’s heir, the new Lord of the Seal, the Grand Inquisitor, the savior of the country, and Angel’s deputy—Ye Qingxuan!
I don’t know how many people have sent name cards and invitations to visit this gentleman, but so far they have not received any response. No one even knows where this gentleman lives.
Even his colleagues in the Privy Council had not met him several times. They came and went in a hurry every time, giving no chance to make friends with anyone.
Now this is the first time he has appeared in public, who would let him go so easily
Before the carriage stopped, a large number of people were waiting in front of the door. More people who came after hearing the news surrounded the place, with three floors inside and three floors outside, making it almost airtight.
The carriage door opened.
A young man in a jet black dress walked out of it. He was not wearing any medals, and his long silver hair was tied behind his head. He was so concise that it was almost inhumane.
Although there was no expression on his face, there seemed to be a solemn look on his face, which made the atmosphere in the crowd feel a little depressing.
However, the legendary Lord Privy Seal, who was known for his indifference, did not make the atmosphere too stiff. Instead, he took the initiative to smile and nodded to everyone.
Then, he turned around, stretched out his hand, and helped a charming female companion down from the carriage.
Laura.
Today, she tied her long hair back and wore an aqua blue evening dress. She didn't wear any jewelry, and she still had the dignified air of a scholar.
Even if it was just that, his figure and face overshadowed the women present.
Everyone present had already heard about the romantic news about the professor and the Chancellor of the Royal Seal that had been quietly circulated when they were at the Royal Academy of Music. They were not too surprised to see the two of them appearing together.
After a brief greeting and pleasantries, Ye Qingxuan made an appointment with Viscount Belfast for dinner the day after tomorrow, then excused himself and took Laura directly to the venue.
"I'm sorry to trouble you today."
Ye Qingxuan whispered to Laura.
"hehe."
Laura, who kept a graceful smile, turned her back to everyone, her smile became brighter, revealing a corner of her canine teeth, "Next time, don't use me as a shield!"
"It's just this once, don't worry."
"After you enter the venue, just be smart and get out of here. I can't help but want to hit you."
"It can be done, it can be done..."
Ye Qingxuan sighed and walked into the banquet hall bravely.
The night was so long for the first time.
