Chapter 168 The Palace Ball
Sitting in the comfortable carriage, Yiming was bored and enjoying the scene of the speeding past the street outside the car window. Meiali sat quietly beside him. After that, the commotion was calmed down by the mage of Wuyao Tower. However, the scene of the ice fish was too big, which made Yiming not very easy to explain to the Lord of Heaven. Fortunately, the Lord of Heaven obviously had no intention of causing trouble for them, so after Meiali took a shower and changed her clothes, the two set off for the palace.
"Speaking of this, I never seem to have seen you wear this outfit. Wouldn't it be better to wear your usual outfit?"
Yiming turned his head and looked at Mealli's clothes with curiosity.
Today, Mealie was wearing a beautiful and simple sleeveless dress. Her white and jade-like slender arms looked white and tender against the painted black dress. The black white flowers were embellished, which played the finishing touch while covering up the fold line of the dress. It perfectly wrapped Mealie's graceful body shape and set off her unparalleled slim curves. The long and unknown flowers on the edge of the hem of the skirt, which was long and mopped, surrounded by the whole dress, perfectly highlighted Mealie's beauty and elegant temperament. Combined with the long golden hair that tilted down like a waterfall, making people excited, and the black silk gloves on their small and slender hands, no matter where they looked, they perfectly interpret the true meaning of beauty and elegance.
But in Yi Ming's opinion, apart from the speciality of sleevelessness, the luxury of this dress is no worse than that of Meyari's usual clothes. Although 80% of her money is spent on this, and each piece of clothing must be made of five sets, Yi Ming has known it for a long time.
"This looks no different from your usual clothes. Why do you change them on purpose? I remember you usually change them every day."
(That's daily clothes, this is dinner clothes.)
"This is the first time I know there are such luxurious everyday clothes."
(It is also a lady's cultivation to maintain elegant manners at any time.)
"Forget it, that's your freedom anyway."
Yi Ming shrugged his shoulders helplessly, just the opposite of Mei Yali. Yi Ming was almost casual in clothing. This time the dress was also a custom-made real estate product for him. In fact, although that's the case, except for a white shirt and straight trousers, Yi Ming had no intention of wearing anything. Even the coat was thrown aside by him so randomly. According to Yi Ming's words, he hated wearing that kind of elegant and luxurious clothing, so Mei Yali could only
It was helpless enough to compromise. But even so, Yi Ming's slender but not very strong figure still exuded a very evil infectious force, which was like a wild wolf standing on a cliff in the forest, pridefully examining the temperament of his territory. With the handsome face that was not far from that, it can be said that if it weren't for the strange smile that often curled up the corners of his mouth, or seemed to be planning something, he would be a handsome man.
Just as the two of them were talking to each other, the carriage turned around. And the King City of the Lea Empire appeared in front of everyone without any concealment.
Like Lily Flower City itself, the palace is made of completely pure white stone. The entire palace looks quite grand. The snow-white road extends and opens. Not far away, the palace itself is scattered like a blooming flower. It is scattered and spreads out in a scattered manner with the castle in the middle as the center. It is scattered and spreads in a scattered manner with clear springs flowing through and beautiful scenery. But for some reason, compared with the Five Yao Tower, this palace is less solemn and more sacred. Like itself, it is just a spiritual decoration and does not have a practical sense of existence.
The soldiers guarding the city gate saw the landmark of the council on the carriage. They bowed and gave in without even doing an inspection. This shows that the college council even within the royal family obviously has a considerable status and prestige. Of course, Yi Ming did not believe it. The royal family would allow the college council people to help him guard the door.
Mealli stared quietly at Yiming leaning outside the car window, looking calmly.
(Yiming.)
"Um?"
(Don't consider how we invade and escape? This is not in the original world, behave carefully.) "…………………Don't worry. I didn't think about it."
Yi Ming reluctantly withdrew his gaze. But his absent-minded answer seemed to reveal more facts hidden in the darkness.
The carriage was parked in the middle of the flawless square, and then the two of them walked out of the carriage. Looking around, it was obvious that they came early, and there were not many carriages here. Of course, for the two people who had never been to the palace, whether the carriage would be parked here is also a question. Yi Ming stretched, then grabbed his hair, and was about to leave, but was pulled by Meyali.
(etc.)
"What? Is there a situation?"
(Your bow tie is crooked, and it is not a gentleman to dress in a mess.)
Meiyali said, standing in front of Yi Ming, gently helping him organize his bow tie that was slightly crooked because Yi Ming was absent-minded. This made the waiters and the guards at the door turn their envious and jealous eyes at Yi Ming. After all, Meiyali's presence cannot be ignored, especially at such a dance where high-ranking nobles gathered, appreciating beauty is almost the first thing that everyone must do, so they naturally will not let Meiyali go with outstanding temperament.
After sorting out the bow tie, Meyali stood sideways beside Yiming, holding his arm like a bird, while Yiming still entered the banquet hall with a relaxed smile. It was obvious that they not only came early, but also a little too early. Looking up, no one seemed to have arrived except for two or three nobles talking nearby. However, this was also just right for the two who did not want to be the center of attention. So Yiming and Meyali each took the cocktails brought by the waiter and found a place that was not very eye-catching and stayed there.
Mei Yali looked at the beautiful scenery of the Royal Family Garden outside the window with leisurely carefree eyes, and when she found Yi Ming's eyes, she shook her head helplessly.
(Yiming?)
"………………………………………………………………………………………………….”
(Are you going to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen?)
“…Okay, I reflect.”
Yi Ming had no intention of reflection at all.
There is no way to do this. In Yi Ming's experience, he has attended such high-class banquets in his original world, but compared with Mei Yali, who was originally from a famous family, Yi Ming, as a civilian, either intends to steal something or assassinate someone whenever he enters such an occasion. As the saying goes, habits become natural, so every time he arrives in such an occasion, Yi Ming will first check the site and determine the route of escape and attack. In this way, he is not an intruder, but attends the dance party as a participant. For Yi Ming, who has participated in countless dance banquets and cocktails, it is actually the first time in his life.
In contrast, Mei Yali is naturally much more. After all, she has attended many such banquets. Of course, her identities are completely different from Yi Mingdi.
Just as the two were talking, more people entered the venue. It seemed that the dance held by the Academy Council was indeed very popular. Many people who seemed to be well-known were mixed in at this moment. They did not notice Yiming and Meiali hiding in the corner, but instead started to chat with them. At this moment, the palace minstrels also began to play the harp, providing some music for the entire dance. Yiming and Meiali listened intently for a moment and shook their heads at the same time. This harp performance obviously positioned itself in
In terms of the background music, so in addition to setting off the ground, the effect is not very large. The rhythm is quite single, which can be called pleasant, but it is definitely not good. But this is no wonder, the bard is a profession of telling stories. The harp is at most to make a sound in the gap between the story telling, so as not to be as monotonous as just telling stories. Now that everyone is chatting, the bard is certainly not able to tell stories, and can only play back and forth, no wonder it is so monotonous.
"Oh? The two have arrived?"
At this moment, a gentle and polite voice came, and the two turned around and saw little Holkin walking towards the two with a friendly smile.
"It was beyond my expectations. I thought the two of them, as the main guests, would appear in the end."
"I don't want to be the target of everyone's attention. If you want to, let it do it for you."
Mayalie gracefully lifted the hem of the skirt and returned the gift, while Yiming joked to little Holkin. No matter how you look at it, this person is not such an annoying type. Moreover, since Marian had already done his homework for the two, his appearance would not be particularly sudden.
"I don't have this qualification."
Little Holkin smiled bitterly and shook his head. What a joke. The two of them defeated the army of ten thousand people. Even if they were drunk, they would not dare to think about such a thing. There was actually an existence that would realize it in front of them. How could a small person like him compare to...
"But fortunately you two came early."
"oh?"
Yi Ming looked at Little Holkin in confusion.
"How do you say this?"
"Actually, we all know that the protagonists of this banquet are two, so now there are many nobles waiting there at the door, hoping to see the legendary heroes. Mr. Yiming may not have felt that they have come to the ground. Now there are many people outside waiting for the two. If I hadn't come in first to see the situation, I might have to wait outside for a long time."
"You are not allowed to be traitors, otherwise I will tell those people that the Holgin family and I have a big business to do, so let them ask you in details. Mayalie and I want to be quiet for a while."
“………………Haha, Mr. Yiming, you really love to joke.”
Little Holkin sweated coldly. Of course, he knew that if Yi Ming said this, then he would definitely be annoyed to death by the person who attended the banquet on behalf of the Holkin family today and would also cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, whether from the standpoint of himself or his family, Little Holkin could not have given such precious communication time respectful hands.
Three people (actually two, Mayalie was just a loyal listener) had been talking for a long time. Although they were all nutritious conversations, the relationship between the two sides was much closer. Little Holkin hoped to get some discounts when Azus developed the industry in the future. Yiming naturally would not object to this opinion. Moreover, he had heard Marien say that the Holkin family had a good economic development, so it would be okay to leave it to them. Anyway, Yiming himself had a headache about those numbers, and there were Elinoria and Marian there. Even if the Holkin family wanted to find out some new tricks, it would be difficult to succeed. Little Holkin also introduced the people who officially entered the market to Yiming and Mayalie, telling them who were close to the royal family, who were neutral like the Holkin family, and who were inclined to the Academy Council or the military.
At this moment, an old man in armor walked into the banquet hall with great energy. The moment he walked into the banquet hall, the originally noisy atmosphere immediately decreased a lot.
"Who is that?"
"That is General Luo Ya. He is a very powerful and talented warrior, and he is also the commander of the Imperial Magic Legion. At the same time, he has made great contributions to the Empire. We were originally guessing who would be the military here, but we didn't expect that General Luo Ya would take action personally. This is a bit beyond our expectations."
It was obvious that Holkin Jr. seemed very surprised by the general's appearance, but when he saw the young man following the general, Holkin Jr. Jr.'s face changed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Yi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously conscious of something.
"It seems you two are in trouble."
