On the night of 10 August, the day of the farewell ball held by the Hitarus mission at the hotel where he was staying, it was arranged that Queen Margaret and the Prime Minister would be in attendance. As a result, the celebrities of Caiunescu were busy for several days to get an invitation to the ball.www.biquge.info Even some small citizens fantasize about being able to get an invitation, maybe they can step into high society. Such a ball always accomplishes something of love, and a handsome lad can find a satisfactory and powerful mistress; And young and beautiful ladies also have a chance to get an amorous and golden lover.

As a side effect, the tailors in Caiunescu were doing so well that appointments were scheduled from the 5th to 5pm on the 10th, and all sorts of people were ordering evening dresses in the tailors' shops. Especially for women's dresses, the work schedules of various tailors are very tight, and many tasks that would not have been done by apprentices have to be practiced in advance.

Thorgrande got the news of the ball too late, so when he decided which tailor to choose, he was told that we were too busy to make the dress before the ball. At that time, Sogrend hoped to increase the money to solve the problem, but unfortunately he had no confidence to rely on his meager salary to call the price. Just when the Prime Minister reluctantly decided to try his luck elsewhere, the owner of the tailor shop stopped him and said, "Sir, if you really need it, I only have a new apprentice here who has just studied for less than three months, so let him try it?" ”

"I think that's all I can do, so let's send someone to pick it up at noon tomorrow." Thorgrande decided to become a dead horse doctor, and the worst outcome was to let China wear a military uniform, and then she would be brutally beaten by Her Majesty and the others at the end of the year.

And as soon as the Prime Minister of Farensi left, the nephew of the proprietor, who stepped into the door of the store, noticed the guests who had just left.

"Uncle, did that one come to order clothes just now?" The tailor's nephew asked, pouring himself a glass of water.

"yes, I've been so busy these days, I had to ask the new apprentice to do it for him, I don't know how it works?"

"What!? Uncle, you're crazy! The nephew almost choked on the water and shouted.

"What are you doing, so loud?" The old tailor stroked his chest, almost scared to death by his nephew.

"Ah, I'm sorry, do you know who that gentleman is?"

"Who is it? Is it a big official in the imperial court? This is not surprising, I have several clients here who work in the DPRK and China. Besides, how big an official position can he achieve at that age? The old tailor said disappreciatively.

"Your clients are nothing compared to his," the nephew looked at his uncle with some pitiful eyes.

"Are you talking about ......?" the old tailor used his imagination.

"He was the Prime Minister of the court, Lord Sogre Leus, whom I had seen clearly several times when I was on an errand in the hotel, and had even spoken a few words with him on one occasion. Lord Luce usually doesn't have much of a fight, and people who don't know him don't think he's a big guy at all. At the time, I thought he was a new librarian and had just talked to him. ”

"Well, hey, show me the specifications of the dress that the gentleman ordered just now, and I'll personally serve the prime minister." The old tailor shouted eagerly to the apprentice who was in charge of recording the requests of his guests.

"Uncle, look, I've helped you a lot this time, nephew."

"Of course, if you hadn't reported to me in advance, I wouldn't have been prepared earlier than others. Today is not for you to remind me, I am going to offend an important guest again. Rest assured, when you check out at the end of this month, your uncle won't forget your share, thank you. ”

"If you want to say thank you, uncle, you better do this job for the Prime Minister, if it weren't for Lord Luce, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get in touch with those circles. Sure enough, the adults of the Leus family have always been thinking about us, the descendants of the Nacibis. ”

The rest went relatively smoothly, and in the evening of the same day, a rather luxurious-looking carriage stopped at the gate of the Thirteenth Legion's station, and the coachman was fully dressed.

"I was sent here by Lord Leuss to pick up Miss China Lanfonte, I wonder if Miss is ready?" The coachman respectfully inquired to the guards at the gate of the station. The guards looked at the coachman at a loss, and then had to go to an officer to deal with the matter, and thankfully, Shuyunston was nearby.

"What can you say to me?" Xiu Yunston said to the coachman seriously, and the other party repeated what he had just said.

"Ah, by the way, and this box, please give it to Miss Lanfonte." The driver removes a large box from the car.

"I see, please wait here for a while." Xiu Yunston took the box.

After about a moment's notice, the coachman was astonished to see a group of soldiers gathered at the door, looking him and the carriage up and down, and still commenting and whispering.

"The Prime Minister's taste is not bad, this carriage is well decorated."

"Well, the coachman is not ugly, I thought Lord Luce would come by himself."

"The coachman can't have been captured from the Praetorian Guard, I don't think he'll do it."

"People may not be, but those two horses are hard to say."

The above no-responsibility comments are naturally from the mouth of the five-member group of new neen officers of the 13th Army Corps.

Then there was another commotion, and the onlookers consciously moved out of the way in the middle. The coachman, who had been made uncomfortable by the gossipy officers, immediately straightened his appearance and prepared to meet the object of his service tonight.

Cenna walked out from behind the crowd with her skirt in her hand. Everyone is usually used to seeing the heroic appearance of the legion commander, but Qinna, who suddenly watched the evening makeup version, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and even the habitual whistle was gone, and the scene was really quiet.

The evening dress that China got today was a dark green dress, very well cut, and the lace at the neckline set off her well-proportioned collarbone perfectly, maybe a little sexy.

"I originally thought that Lord Luce would only provide flowers for decoration, but I didn't expect him to spend a lot of money this time."

Ispar was referring to Chenna's jewelry, which was indeed unexpected. Even Gina had no illusions about the evening dress, and she didn't even think to ask Sogrand to help her spend the money. On the one hand, it is due to Chenna's temperament; On the other hand, as far as she knew, it was very difficult to buy a decent set of clothes and Sogrand without corruption and bribery. So, when Showinston came in with the box in his hand, the Legion Commander of the 13th Legion had already put on his delicate military uniform. In the box brought by Xiuyunston, in addition to dresses, there are also jewelry ranging from forehead ornaments to necklaces, from bracelets to rings. Although the whole set is only equipped with some cheap gemstones such as opal, the style is very high, the matching of gemstones is also very thoughtful, and the color of the main material silver is also very harmonious with Qinna's temperament.

Seeing China approaching the carriage, some of the coachmen who saw the gods immediately woke up from their confusion and opened the door for the young lady in front of him according to their duty.

"Didn't Lord Luce come along?" Cenna asked, standing next to the car.

"Ah, no, my lady, he said he had a very important business to talk about, and then he would go to the ball himself." The coachman seemed very attentive.

"Oh, that's nothing, it's in his usual style." China said this lightly.

"Oh, I'd like to remind Mademoiselle that there are some little surprises in the car."

"I'm going to see what it is." China smiled and stepped up the small steps of the carriage.

When China lifted the hem of her skirt and let herself and her clothes fully into the carriage, she was greeted by a very delicate bouquet of roses, a whole bouquet, which was so surprising. If it were another girl, she would have been moved to tears on the spot, and China calmly held the bouquet and smelled the unique fragrance of roses, and China laughed. If yesterday in the barracks she had compromised in support of Sogrend's principles, at this moment she had really let go of Sogrend's offense to her from the perspective of a woman in love. (Note: Someone will definitely ask if a bouquet of roses will make people cry, you have a rusty brain.) But I would like to tell you that the big double-petaled roses of today were only created after being crossed with Chinese peonies and yueji, and before that, the roses in Europe were pitifully small and very prone to death. At that time, such a large bouquet of roses was really rare, and collecting such a bouquet was estimated that someone broke their legs. By the way, compared with China, Europe learned very late that it was necessary to select and cultivate plants, and peonies are not so beautiful naturally. ）

At the same time, the Prime Minister, who had been bleeding profusely, was in his office to receive guests - Officers March Landier and Jayne Beta, both of whom had been promoted for their outstanding performance in Navi last time.

"You two, please be seated." Sogrend pushed the tea that had been prepared a long time ago in front of the two of them, "This is psyllium picked by His Majesty himself, you can taste it too." ”

The two new officers respectfully sat down at their desks and took a few sips from their cheap unglazed teacups.

"Both, your vacation is over, do you have any plans?"

Hearing Sogrend's question, the officers understood, and Jayne replied, "What is the Prime Minister's plan for us?" As a soldier, of course, it is my duty to obey orders. March nodded.

"Okay, I'll just come here, you can pick one of each of these two things. Her Majesty and Marshal Henry have already signed, and it is up to me to fill in their names. Let's take it and see it first. ”

The two of them each picked up a piece of parchment, which Jayne had obtained, which read: "He is hereby appointed to be responsible for all preparations for the formation of the newly formed Ninth Legion." March's side got a letter of appointment from the commander of the 13th Legion Scout Herald.

"Lord Ruce, with all due respect, shouldn't it be more appropriate to choose a sufficiently qualified commander of the Ninth Legion for the newly established Ninth Legion? How did it fall to me, the new officer? Jayne asked.

Thorgrande didn't answer him right away, but asked March: "Your Excellency Landier, would you like to go to the 13th Legion to help Lord Lanfonte and make her legion the most effective legion in Farensi?" ”

"It's my honor, my lord," March said, placing the letter of appointment back on his desk, "and if Jayne has no opinion, I'm willing to take this position." ”

"If March wants to go, I don't have any opinion." Jayne immediately raised his hand in approval.

"Okay, that's it." Sogrend took the letter of appointment and filled it with March's name. Then he rolled up the parchment, tied it and handed it to March. "Officer Landier, take this to the 13th Army tomorrow to report for duty."

"Yes." March stood solemnly and saluted, then accepted the letter of appointment.

"Now, then, please stay out of the way, or to celebrate this promotion, go find a tavern and book a seat."

"I see." March respectfully left the office.

"Captain Beta," Thorgrande said, turning back to look after Jayne, "as you should have guessed, the remaining appointment is of considerable importance and secrecy that not all people can know about, and if you feel unsure of taking on this challenge, you can leave now, and I will ask Marshal Henry to redraft another letter of appointment for you, what do you think?" ”

"Since the stakes are very high, it is an honor for Her Majesty the Queen and your lordships to be the first to think of Xiaguan. No matter how difficult it is, please leave it to the subordinate to take care of it. Jayne replied confidently.

"Well, I'll talk about it briefly. Officer Jayne, your former boss was Master Tom Andak, right? ”

"Yes, Prime Minister."

"How did Lord Andak die?" Sogrend asked.

"Lord Andak died heroically in the Lockhit offensive and defensive battle at the beginning of the Gregorian calendar on the mainland in 344 years with inferior forces against the combined forces of Iberia and Mastar, which invaded our country." Jayne immediately became serious at the mention of the boss.

"Then why did Lord Andak fall into a military disadvantage?" Thorgrande asked without relaxation.

"Because the other side launched a despicable surprise attack."

"Wrong!"

Jayne looked at the Prime Minister in surprise, not knowing how to respond.

"Lord Andak's sacrifice is due to the fact that our army did not do a good job of intelligence work against the enemy, which caused the enemy's military army of more than 100,000 to easily break into our country, and our army actually knew nothing about its prior movements.

Thorgrande took a sip of his tea and continued, "So, Captain Jayne Beta, do you hope that someone will die like Lord Andak in the future?" ”

"No, of course I don't."

"Louder!"

"No, I don't want to!" Jayne roared.

"Well, you should understand what this Ninth Legion is up to by now, right?" Sogrend said.

"I see, please instruct me on what to do."

"Okay, first of all, of course, we need manpower......"

In the banquet hall of the State Guesthouse, not far from the palace, Lakoxiu and his brother-in-law were receiving every guest who came to visit, and about eighty percent of the invited guests had already come to the ball.

"Her Majesty has arrived." The voice of the master of ceremonies sounded, and the eyes of all corners of the venue turned their eyes to the gate.

Margaret, the young queen of Farensi, entered the banquet hall surrounded by the female attendants, and was immediately greeted by Rakoxiu and Antaras, who were the hosts.

"It is a great honour for Her Majesty to be here." Racoxiu humbly curtsy.

"Good evening, Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I will be taken care of by the two of you today." Margaret said, expertly holding out her hand so that the Prince of Antaras could do his own thing.

"So, can you let me do the landlord's etiquette to Your Majesty tonight?" Prince Antaras did not let go of the other party's tenderness immediately after the kiss ceremony.

"Then trouble Your Highness the Prince," Margaret smiled, "Oh, I forgot to ask, what about my two teachers?" Lu Siqing doesn't have to count on it, he still retains the title of 'King of Late Arrivals for Banquets and Balls', and it is estimated that he will not be able to get rid of this reputation today. So, what about Lan Fangteqing? Haven't come yet? ”

Rakoxiu was about to reply that he hadn't come yet, when the emcee's voice rang out again: "Admiral Chenna Rampant has arrived." ”

"Aha, sure enough, I won't hear the 'Marquis de Sogre Leuss and Admiral Chenna Lanfonte' today." Margaret said.

But it wasn't without excitement at all, and when China walked in with her skirt, there was a commotion.

"Hey, if I'm not mistaken, it's Admiral Lanfonte who just reported."

"You heard it right, that's it."

"I didn't expect that, although I had heard about a new admiral and a woman, it was surprising that no one would have thought that she was such a wonderful person. Oh, look at her eyes, they are shining; You look at her hair, it really looks like a silver thread pulled out by a fine silversmith; Look at her figure, even Miss Eugaris may not be able to surpass her in the past, is this also trained in the army? ”

"That's true, but I advise Your Excellency not to try to beat her idea, first of all, your body is probably not able to suppress her, and secondly, your artistic talent is probably not something she will appreciate, and the most important thing is that you can't have the slightest chance of winning in the face of the Prime Minister of the Dynasty."

"That's, that's, how can we compare to that lord in terms of pleasing women."

At the door, Gina had just curtsy to the queen and Racoxiu, and Racoxiu was very surprised that her friend could do these rituals so elegantly and perfectly, and China in a dress was the most incredible event for her.

Margaret eagerly pulled one of her teachers over to take a look, which made China feel a little uncomfortable, though she had dressed like this in Mastar, but it seemed that there was a more dazzling woman there to cover her up a lot, or that the people of Shurasa had become more numb to the splendor of their Majesty Higrani.

"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong with me, is there?" China asked cautiously.

"Not at all, the skirt suits you very well, the jewelry is also well matched, a certain person's eye is really good, it seems that his talent in this area has been hidden for a long time." Margaret said with a smile.

―――――― lazy dividing line――――――

Digression: Recently, the hype of the new version of the Dream of Red Mansions has been very fierce, and I won't repeat the details, so we can ignore the existence of the new version of the Dream of Red Mansions. First of all, the 83 version of Dream of Red Mansions is an unattainable height in terms of actor selection and performance, script writing, music creation and artistic understanding of the original work. In addition to the hype, we didn't see anything in the new version of Dream of Red Mansions, and the host's attitude was very improper, and the level of hype was extremely low. If the 83 version is a delicate delicacy, then it is estimated that the new version is at most a pot of spicy hot pot, and maybe it will become some kind of poison because of the indiscriminate throwing of materials into it. In the words of Jeff in "Arslan": "There are too many stupid people in this world. "Knowing that they were looking for death, some people pounced on it without hesitation; You just want to die, at least you have to die with dignity? made himself a clown who jumped off the beam, and he was not even as good as Ah Q.
