The night is filled with the fragrance of intoxicating wine, and the gentle and happy music circulates in every corner of the hall
The Earl's Mansion is decorated with lights and people are scattered
At any corner, there will inevitably be groups of nobles and their wives and children not far away, making loud noises, lit the night.
It seemed as if there was a tacit understanding, the noble women attending the banquet competed with each other, wearing the most luxurious dresses and expensive and dazzling accessories, shuttled through the crowd like colorful butterflies.
The most active ones are those noble girls who try to show their youthful charm and occasionally glance at the young and handsome man.
People enjoy the wine and music
The topics of the ladies are always inseparable from clothes and cosmetics, or hiding in the corner and laughing at the dullness and sloppyness of a noble man
Men's topics are much broader, as if everyone has become a far-sighted politician, holding exquisite cups filled with fine wine, talking about topics of interest with joy.
The crisis of the empire is very far away from here, but very close
I don't know how many of these people can stay awake in alcohol?
Lunge is dead, Gannet leads Kong Xiáng and others to retreat quickly, but this does not mean that the Northern Alliance has suffered a fatal blow.
On the contrary, on the eastern border of Monston, a hundred thousand orc troops could launch an attack at any time, and the war was about to break out.
This news is no longer a secret, but how many people can really worry about it?
In their opinion, all this was just an extremely ordinary episode in the history of the empire. Their lives and their power and status had no effect on it.
It is precisely this way that you will have a good mood to talk loudly at the banquet, paying attention to the newly grown beauties, and paying attention to whether the cup is empty?
Earl Winrit just said that he would hold a small engagement banquet for his daughter and Ferro. As a result, more than 300 celebrities in the imperial capital flocked in. This is not to mention the people who had not received the invitation and tried their best to squeeze in.
I don't know what the scene would be if he planned to hold a large-scale banquet?
Princess Jingyue and I sat in the corner of the hall. If I hadn't promised Earl Winrit to be Ferro's witness, I would have been withdrawn at this moment and wouldn't have even attended such a boring banquet.
Princess Jingyue has just been bombarded by noble ladies, and as her identity, it is undoubtedly eye-catching on such occasions
Almost all noble men would secretly look at her. If she hadn't known that she had a master, she might have accepted more large-scale harassment.
With Olinan's previous lessons, these people are much more honest. After all, there is only one head on the neck of anyone
In comparison, I feel much more relaxed. Except for the only a few acquaintances in the imperial capital, almost no one disturbed me.
The story of I killing Lunge and getting the Dark Moon has long been rumored to be full of wind and rain, but in such a place, it seems that everyone is very taboo about this topic and doesn't even mention it.
In the minds of the absolute majority of nobles, I am always an unpopular person
Let’s not talk about the rift between Prince Ott and the Temple and me, my background in the Magic Sect alone is enough to stop many people.
And once they know my true origin, they don’t know what kind of situation it is?
How could these noble nobles who believed in the God of Light throughout their lives be willing to demean themselves and interact with an unpopular person like me?
After Princess Jingyue's socializing, she returned to the seat beside me and sat down and smiled bitterly: Jingyue really shouldn't have come here, so I would have stayed in Diecuiyuan if I had known it would have been better.
I said: This is because you are too low-key on weekdays. This time, you finally showed up in public. Why don’t those people seize the opportunity to curry favor with you?
Princess Jingyue smiled and said: You are wrong. In fact, at least half of the people here came to get close to you. Jingyue is just a benefit.
oh?
Xiu Lan, your current identity is different from when you first came to the imperial capital. Everyone knows what the marriage between Earl Winrit and General Chuku means, and you have long learned that His Majesty has betrothed to you personally. In addition to your intimate relationship with the Duke of Jinsha, even in Monston, you have long become a highly anticipated figure.
Humph, even so, they would have too little time to hide from me, so how could they come to curry favor with me?
Princess Jingyue sighed quietly: Xiulan, you have formed an extremely close relationship with the imperial royal family, the palace, and the military and political officials of the empire. In addition, the subtle connection with the temple caused by Jingyue, how could others not see these? They just had some concerns and did not dare to come to you in person, so they came to them through their wives and children.
I said disapprovingly: This just shows that people, snakes and rats are not trustworthy at both ends. Once the situation changes, they are afraid that they will run faster than rabbits.
Princess Jingyue sighed and said: How many people are not like this? Even if you look at the empire, once wars break out, how many people are trustworthy and relied on?
As he was talking, Debo ran over sweating profusely, sat beside me, picked up a glass of red wine on the table and took a few sips, and said excitedly: Tonight is so lively, Earl Winter has a great face, and almost all the celebrities in the imperial capital have been invited. Hey, Xiulan, have you seen it? There are so many beauties!
This guy is familiar with Princess Jingyue, showing his nature, and his eyes are constantly searching for the beauty in the crowd.
I said indifferently: You are really busy, too
Debor shook his head and said: I'm much easier than Ferrona boy. You didn't even have time to sit down. You just followed his father-in-law to greet the guests.
Where is Bashi and his father? I asked, the only modification I made to the list of invitations by Earl Winrit was to add this father and son
They were busy socializing with Baron Shepherd. The guy held the authority to approve minerals in the empire and was half of the Bashi family's parents. How could he not take the opportunity to win over it? Debo replied
Your Majesty Xiu Lan, Your Highness the Princess! A familiar cry came from a distance, and Duke Ori walked strode with a friendly smile
Duke Ori, Deborg said in surprise: When did you arrive in the imperial capital?
Just arrived at noon today, Duke Ori smiled and said: When I heard that my old friend's daughter was going to marry the tiger general under His Majesty Xiu Lan, I got in with shamelessness. Fortunately, Earl Winrit did not drive me out, otherwise I would have lost a lot.
Why, I feel sorry for your gift?
No, Duke Ori shook his head and said: I know there is something delicious tonight, so lunch is useless. If you can't eat dinner, don't lose half of my life.
Everyone couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said.
Of course, he could not have intentionally ignored lunch. Most of the time he arrived at the imperial capital, he was summoned by Jiaxiu and was busy until now.
Princess Mirror Moon asked Duke Ori to sit down and asked: Have the Duke seen His Majesty?
Yes? Duke Ori replied: And he will return the day after tomorrow, and he is ready to mobilize his troops to enter the Eastern Xinjiang
Debo said in surprise: Duke Ori, your army is going to enter the East Xinjiang to garrison?
Duke Ori smiled bitterly and said: Do you think the army of 100,000 orcs is so fun? Although His Majesty has added 100,000 troops to the east and sent two legions to the northern border to assist the Duke of Prince in response, who knows whether he can withstand the first wave of offensives of the Northern Alliance?
Debo refused to accept it: My dad's army is not so useless, right?
Duke Ori sighed and said: You are still young and don’t know many things about the ability to fight individually. Three ordinary imperial soldiers can’t fight a warrior of an orc. What’s more, they dispatched the Winged Man Tribe and Wolf Cavalry this time, so the advantage of the troops is even more obvious.
Will this battle really start? Someone asked worriedly, and it turned out that it was Bashi and his father who had entered our small circle.
That's for sure. Princess Jingyue replied calmly: And maybe the 100,000 orcs will be launched to camp on the border for several months before autumn. The daily consumption is very amazing. I'm afraid they don't want to delay it anymore.
We won't lose, are we? After hearing what Duke Ori just said, Deborg asked worriedly
How is it possible? Duke Ori confidently patted Debo on the shoulder and said: With me joining forces with your father, and with the 100,000 reinforcements sent by His Majesty, he would drive the orcs back to his hometown.
Debo breathed a sigh of relief and said: I'm relieved
Duke Ori looked at me and asked: His Majesty Xiu Lan, I heard that you will return to Biarrel tomorrow. It seems that we don’t have time to get together again, but we can leave earlier, so as not to leave even if the war starts.
It seems that there is no secret in the imperial capital, and everyone can easily get all kinds of news.
I nodded and said: Not bad, so I will leave the capital early tomorrow morning
You should be careful too. Duke Ori reminded: If the orcs cannot open up the situation in the East Xinjiang, they may turn their attention to Biarrel, hoping to open the gap from there.
I said indifferently: I'm just afraid that they can come in and can't go back.
Debo agreed: I am not worried about Xiu Lan. Don’t think that Viarrel is a small country, but whoever underestimates it will definitely suffer a loss when she sees it. You should know that Xiu Lan used troops when he recaptured Viarrel. Ten more wolf kings are not his opponents.
Hey, why did Your Highness Otter come too? Bashi suddenly said in surprise
Following his eyes, Prince Ott was walking towards us, and the person following him was his adviser Shuget
How could he not come when he knew that His Majesty Jiaxiu was also present? I snorted coldly: Look, Prince Mustin will definitely arrive later
Your Majesty Xiu Lan, it turns out that you are all hiding here. Prince Ott changed his previous attitude and said with a spring breeze on his face: It hurts me to find it in the hall for a while.
Your Highness! Murdoch quickly stood up and gave up his seat
Otter sat down without hesitation, looked at Murdoch and said: Are you okay?
Murdoch replied: Thanks to His Highness Zhou Xuan, everything has been resolved now
Ott said proudly: As long as I say something, even Mustin will release me if you have any problems in the future, come to me.
He sat here and regarded himself as the protagonist. The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere disappeared. Even Duke Ori couldn't stand the arrogance of the prince.
Murdoch said repeatedly: Yes, thank you Your Highness!
I heard that His Majesty Xiu Lan is leaving tomorrow? Shuget stood behind Ott and asked, "It was this man's trick to assassinate the Duke of Jinsha, but fortunately I broke it, otherwise the account would probably be counted on the other two princes."
Just for this, he is also a talent
Yes, Debo saw that I didn't speak, so he replied for me: We will leave the capital tomorrow morning, and we have said goodbye to His Majesty this morning
Ott showed a hypocritical look of regret and said: I still want to welcome you, but I didn't expect that I didn't even have time to show off my farewell banquet.
Debo smiled and said: The imperial capital is so fun, I want to stay for a few more days, but it’s a pity that the orcs don’t know when they will come in, so it’s better to go back as soon as possible.
Just them? Prince Ott sneered contemptuously: A group of barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood also want to invade the power of the empire? As long as he dares to come, I will definitely ask my father to lead the army to fight and kill the 100,000 orcs.
Others smiled and said nothing when facing Prince Ott's arrogance, only Murdoch flatteredly: That's nature, Your Highness is worried about national affairs, and he can be called a role model for our subjects.
Prince Ott said proudly: There is no role model, but if everyone in the empire has the same mind as me, why are they afraid of orcs?
Duke Ori didn't say a word, afraid he was glad that he was very wise in his heart. He did not let Orte lead the troops to defend the enemy, otherwise he would have lost more than half of the battle without fighting.
Prince Ott turned his face and looked at me in his most sincere tone: Xiu Lan, I heard that you killed Lunge, the high priest of the demon clan, which can be regarded as making a contribution to the empire. No matter what kind of misunderstandings there were between us, we will be eliminated after tonight. If you encounter any trouble in Biarrel, come to me!
He seemed to have regarded himself as the natural heir to the throne of Monston. A sneer appeared in my heart, and suddenly my hand felt hot. It turned out that it was held by Princess Jingyue's jade hand. The clear autumn waves contained thousands of words, and it seemed that I was trying to persuade me not to embarrass Prince Orte.
I replied lightly: I have recorded all your words, and I don’t care about the past.
Shuget laughed and said: Since that's the case, let's have a drink together, which is to see His Majesty Xiu Lan and General Debo off! As he said that, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
I looked at him coldly and didn't move at all. Debord was pretending to talk to Duke Ori and didn't hear this guy since he learned that the poisonous plan to assassinate the Duke of Sands was from this man. He wanted to peel him off in his heart, so how could he clink a glass with him?
Just when he was a little embarrassed, he heard a palace eunuch at the door shouting: His Majesty Jiaxiu and Prince Anjilina, Prince Mustin arrive
Everyone's conversation in the hall stopped together, and it immediately became silent
Amid the music of the band's God Blessing of the Emperor, Princess Anjilinna helped His Majesty Jiaxiu into the hall, followed by Prince Mustin and General Greron with a smile on his face
I met this mysterious Princess Anjilina again
Compared to the last encounter in front of the gate of the Imperial Capital, her charm did not fade at all. When she appeared in people's sight, the lights in the entire hall seemed to be dim.
She gently and gracefully supported His Majesty Jiaxiu and walked slowly. Earl Winrit, Ferro and Martha had already met him.
A look of surprise and pride flashed in Earl Winrit's eyes. His Majesty Jiaxiu attended the engagement ceremony of his daughter while he was seriously ill, which undoubtedly gave him enough face.
The only frustrated person is Ott. He sat opposite me and snorted coldly, looking at Prince Mustin with a jealous and resentful look.
It's no wonder that as the eldest son, he was the most qualified to accompany his father to attend, but now the one standing behind His Majesty Jiaxiu is Prince Musting
Some active nobles inevitably began to wonder if this was a potential foreshadowing?
Long live my emperor! Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted, chanting loudly
I sat there without moving, and leisurely sipped the wine and admired the grand scene of hundreds of people congratulating each other, but it attracted many people's dissatisfaction and disgust.
The eunuch shouted loudly again: Your Majesty said: Tonight is the engagement feast between Miss Martha and General Ferro, Your Majesty and the Imperial Palace are also among the guests, so everyone does not need to be polite and celebrate with all their hearts.
Thank you! Amid the praises of everyone, Count Winrit accompanied His Majesty Jiaxiu and walked towards us
Ott reacted the fastest and was the first to rush over and bow and said: Father, your dragon body is important. It would be better if you have a son-in-law and Mastin on your behalf on this occasion, why come here in person?
Earl Winrit changed color slightly, and Jiaxiu said calmly: I know my own body best.
When Ott saw the face of Earl Winrit, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly supported His Majesty Jiaxiu and concealed: My son has no other intentions, he is just worried about your body.
His Majesty Jiaxiu snorted, looked at me, Duke Ori and others and smiled and said: Very good, you are all here
Everyone stood up and saluted again. His Majesty Jiaxiu waved his hand and said: Everyone said that you don’t need to be polite tonight, just sit down.
Only when the Empress Anjilinna helped His Majesty Jiaxiu sit down, everyone dared to sit down.
His Majesty Jiaxiu looked at Duke Ori and said: You and Earl Winrit are old friends, I guess you must be missing from this fun.
Duke Ori smiled and said: Your Majesty is wise, my old friend is married to a daughter, so I will climb up and trick me into drinking. Unfortunately, I am a little farther away from Arrel, otherwise I will go on the wedding day.
His Majesty Jiaxiu smiled slightly and said to Debo: You will return with Xiu Lan tomorrow, right?
Yes, Your Majesty! In front of His Majesty, Debo restrained himself a lot and replied respectfully
I told the Duke of Jinsha for me that he had worked hard these days and waited for the crisis in the East Xinjiang to be resolved. I would like to invite him to the imperial capital to get together
Thank you Your Majesty!
His Majesty Jiaxiu's eyes looked at Murdoch again: I know you, I remember we met six years ago. You are Mr. Murdoch, the largest ordnance manufacturer in the empire, right?
Murdoch was flattered and hurriedly bowed: It's me, your majesty!
I heard that Stie had taken you to prison, but fortunately you were released, otherwise who would dare to stay in Monston? His Majesty Jiaxiu comforted him with a gentle voice: You don’t have to be afraid, as long as you do business and be loyal to the empire, I am your biggest backer at this morning meeting. I have scolded Stie, I believe he dare not make things difficult for you again
Murdoch was so moved that he said excitedly: Your Majesty
His Majesty Jiaxiu waved his hand gently, turned his face to look at me and Princess Jingyue and smiled: Xiulan, among these people, I talked to you in the last time, do you know why?
I nodded and said: I understand
Jia Xiudao: Look, I'm right, talking to a smart person like you is the most worry-free and happy thing
Debo looked at Duke Ori beside him in confusion, and the Duke whispered: Your Majesty is the first guest and then the Lord. He treated His Majesty Xiu Lan as his own family, so he was the last one to talk to him.
His Majesty Jiaxiu raised his glass and said: Xiulan, I have said goodbye this morning. Now I just want to have another drink with you and leave tonight. I don’t know if we still have a chance to meet. The same is true for Jingyue. Let’s come together.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all with His Majesty Jiaxiu.
Jiaxiu put down his wine glass and smiled at me: You are here and there in a hurry to travel to the imperial capital. I believe that everything will be different next time I come.
I was stunned and chewing on the meaning of his words when I heard the ceremonial shout: Good time is coming, the ceremony begins
The Earl's Mansion is decorated with lights and people are scattered
At any corner, there will inevitably be groups of nobles and their wives and children not far away, making loud noises, lit the night.
It seemed as if there was a tacit understanding, the noble women attending the banquet competed with each other, wearing the most luxurious dresses and expensive and dazzling accessories, shuttled through the crowd like colorful butterflies.
The most active ones are those noble girls who try to show their youthful charm and occasionally glance at the young and handsome man.

It's no wonder that as the eldest son, he was the most qualified to accompany his father to attend, but now the one standing behind His Majesty Jiaxiu is Prince Musting
Some active nobles inevitably began to wonder if this was a potential foreshadowing?
Long live my emperor! Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted, chanting loudly
I sat there without moving, and leisurely sipped the wine and admired the grand scene of hundreds of people congratulating each other, but it attracted many people's dissatisfaction and disgust.
The eunuch shouted loudly again: Your Majesty said: Tonight is the engagement feast between Miss Martha and General Ferro, Your Majesty and the Imperial Palace are also among the guests, so everyone does not need to be polite and celebrate with all their hearts.
Thank you! Amid the praises of everyone, Count Winrit accompanied His Majesty Jiaxiu and walked towards us
Ott reacted the fastest and was the first to rush over and bow and said: Father, your dragon body is important. It would be better if you have a son-in-law and Mastin on your behalf on this occasion, why come here in person?
Earl Winrit changed color slightly, and Jiaxiu said calmly: I know my own body best.
When Ott saw the face of Earl Winrit, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly supported His Majesty Jiaxiu and concealed: My son has no other intentions, he is just worried about your body.
His Majesty Jiaxiu snorted, looked at me, Duke Ori and others and smiled and said: Very good, you are all here
Everyone stood up and saluted again. His Majesty Jiaxiu waved his hand and said: Everyone said that you don’t need to be polite tonight, just sit down.
Only when the Empress Anjilinna helped His Majesty Jiaxiu sit down, everyone dared to sit down.
His Majesty Jiaxiu looked at Duke Ori and said: You and Earl Winrit are old friends, I guess you must be missing from this fun.
Duke Ori smiled and said: Your Majesty is wise, my old friend is married to a daughter, so I will climb up and trick me into drinking. Unfortunately, I am a little farther away from Arrel, otherwise I will go on the wedding day.
His Majesty Jiaxiu smiled slightly and said to Debo: You will return with Xiu Lan tomorrow, right?
Yes, Your Majesty! In front of His Majesty, Debo restrained himself a lot and replied respectfully
I told the Duke of Jinsha for me that he had worked hard these days and waited for the crisis in the East Xinjiang to be resolved. I would like to invite him to the imperial capital to get together
Thank you Your Majesty!
His Majesty Jiaxiu's eyes looked at Murdoch again: I know you, I remember we met six years ago. You are Mr. Murdoch, the largest ordnance manufacturer in the empire, right?
Murdoch was flattered and hurriedly bowed: It's me, your majesty!
I heard that Stie had taken you to prison, but fortunately you were released, otherwise who would dare to stay in Monston? His Majesty Jiaxiu comforted him with a gentle voice: You don’t have to be afraid, as long as you do business and be loyal to the empire, I am your biggest backer at this morning meeting. I have scolded Stie, I believe he dare not make things difficult for you again
Murdoch was so moved that he said excitedly: Your Majesty
His Majesty Jiaxiu waved his hand gently, turned his face to look at me and Princess Jingyue and smiled: Xiulan, among these people, I talked to you in the last time, do you know why?
I nodded and said: I understand
Jia Xiudao: Look, I'm right, talking to a smart person like you is the most worry-free and happy thing
Debo looked at Duke Ori beside him in confusion, and the Duke whispered: Your Majesty is the first guest and then the Lord. He treated His Majesty Xiu Lan as his own family, so he was the last one to talk to him.
His Majesty Jiaxiu raised his glass and said: Xiulan, I have said goodbye this morning. Now I just want to have another drink with you and leave tonight. I don’t know if we still have a chance to meet. The same is true for Jingyue. Let’s come together.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all with His Majesty Jiaxiu.
Jiaxiu put down his wine glass and smiled at me: You are here and there in a hurry to travel to the imperial capital. I believe that everything will be different next time I come.
I was stunned and chewing on the meaning of his words when I heard the ceremonial shout: Good time is coming, the ceremony begins
