As the saying goes, ‘men are the masters outside, women are the masters inside’.
This is not just true for a family. It is also true for a country.
Although the Ruman Empire spans thousands of miles, has millions of armors, and dominates the earth with its tyrannical national power, it has always had a weakness that is not a weakness, and that is the lack of a worthy mistress.
This honor once belonged to Her Majesty the Queen, but that poor woman lost her footing and fell into the water while swimming in the lake and drowned.
There is another theory that is rampant secretly: that she was pushed down by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Of course, this statement is baseless and is the most shameless rumor and slander by the enemies of the empire. The bright-eyed subjects of the empire will not be fooled by this.
Such a small rumor to deceive...
But, no matter what, she died. And the gold-encrusted chair next to the throne was empty.
After that, His Majesty the Emperor had other thoughts. But for the Empire, the issue of the 'Queen' was first of all a political issue, and secondly a personal matter of His Majesty the Emperor.
It doesn't mean that you can become a queen just by pulling someone over on the street. It depends on your background, quality, family background, etc., and a series of comprehensive conditions.
The nobles with powerful families have no further political demands, so they do not want their daughters to marry off, lest they be pushed into the water by His Majesty the Emperor again.
Although the nobles with a small family power have this idea, they do not have enough strength to ensure that after their daughter sleeps with His Majesty the Emperor, there will be no suicide, car collision, lightning strike and other unexpected situations. In the end, she can
Live to be a queen.
In this way, due to the pushback from all parties, the position of Her Majesty the Queen has been vacant for a long time, and no one has been able to fill it.
The honor of the hostess fell to the family of Grand Duke Julius, the heir to the empire. Therefore, it fell to Countess Anson, Catherine, Caius, and Julius.
In many public occasions, she must appear as the imperial mistress. On behalf of the empire, she visits a patient, helps an old lady cross the street, inspects a certain place, expresses condolences, or attends a certain award.
Ceremony, give people a certificate.
In short, it is this type of miscellaneous propaganda work that does not have much real power but is indispensable.
Therefore, this time a delegation led by the Prime Minister personally came to Maple Leaf Danlin to conduct friendly peace negotiations with the Almohad Empire.
As the eldest princess, Catherine would still be willing to be here if she were not here. But she is still studying here. If she does not attend, it will inevitably cause people to talk about it - "could it be said that the prime minister and the eldest princess within the empire,
It is inconsistent with the Grand Duke."
And this kind of situation is something that any wise politician must absolutely avoid happening~!
Regardless of whether they hate each other privately and want to eat each other alive without salt. But on the surface, they must show everyone that the powerful Ruman Empire is still a rock-solid whole, absolutely
No outsiders are allowed to interfere or challenge.
After Lorraine listened to Adele's simple narration, she immediately understood the above situation. At the same time, she felt a little strange in her heart.
He looked at the clothes on the bed, and then at Adele, who was sitting beside the bed, shaking her white and crystal legs in boredom, and said: "These words are not mandatory. You can tell me later.
Me."
Adele smiled faintly, pointed downstairs, and then said: "Originally, that title belonged to Nicole's mother, but her mother also passed away. I was afraid that saying it in front of her would make her sad."
Lorraine's heart suddenly trembled. She didn't expect that although this girl seemed to be at odds with Catherine, she actually cared about her so much. She even noticed such subtle details.
He pondered for a moment, and seeing that Adele still had no intention of going out, he had to say: "Then you're done. It's time to go out. I want to change clothes."
Adele glanced at him and said: "What's the big deal? Let me take a look too. I heard from Vera that your nose will bleed just by looking at it. I want to see how good your figure is."
Lorraine couldn't help but suffocated. She didn't expect that silly girl Vera to be too silly. She would say such things to others.
It would be okay if Uncle Lorraine had muscles like the Governor of California. But now he still has self-awareness. Although he has muscles, he has not reached that level yet.
He rolled his eyes, touched his chin and laughed evilly, saying: "You can see it if you want. To be fair, if you want to see mine, then you must let me see yours too."
Adele immediately jumped off the bed, looked at him with a smile, and said: "Okay, okay."
As he said that, he reached out and touched the buttons of his clothes.
Lorraine's eyes widened when she saw the fat-like skin on her chest, and her heart beat wildly.
Adele saw the piggy look on his face, and her saliva was about to flow out. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes, then tightened her tight clothes, and then gave him a fierce 'poof' and said: "You are so beautiful."
Just go and dream~!"
After saying that, he hit Lorraine hard on the head with the feather fan in his hand, and then walked out calmly with his hands behind his back and his waist splayed.
Lorraine watched her slim figure disappear outside the door, couldn't help but smile bitterly, then picked up the clothes on the bed and changed them.
As the eldest princess of the empire, she has received an elite education since she was a child, and she is absolutely not allowed to make any mistakes. Therefore, Catherine has always had a very good taste in choosing clothes.
When Lorraine came down from upstairs wearing that simple yet luxurious black dress, the girls who were chatting in the living room couldn't help but feel their eyes light up. Adele and Catherine, who were no longer in charge now
They also whistled in unison.
Lorraine smiled faintly, and then gracefully bowed to them in response.
He came downstairs and saw that the girls were ready, but still had no intention of leaving. They were just sitting there chatting for hours without saying a word. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Aren't we leaving now?"
?Aren’t you afraid of being late? I remember that ‘punctuality is the etiquette of a king’.”
Catherine held up the white feather fan in front of her and said: "Punctuality is the etiquette of the king. This sentence is correct. But don't forget another sentence, 'Being late is the duty of a lady.' Hahaha...
…”
After hearing her domineering laughter, Lorraine immediately understood that if she was verbose, she had to look good. So she closed her mouth obediently.
Everyone sat there chatting for a long time. Catherine saw that the time was almost up, then got up and led everyone into a luxury carriage that was prepared outside.
Lorraine got into the carriage and saw the soft and elastic leather seats. The precious red wine placed in the small cabinet next to it, as well as the crystal clear glass wine glasses. She almost shed tears. Compared with her own
The old ox-cart at home should be what the luxury car I want looks like.
But as soon as the carriage started moving, its original shape was immediately revealed. The wheels made of pure steel rolled on the road that was not smooth. As long as it went a little faster, it immediately became bumpy.
Lorraine could only close her mouth tightly while sitting in the car, fearing that her tongue would be bitten if she was careless. However, one good thing about this is that the three girls were all wearing traditional Western-style dresses.
The ground stretched over his body, and there was a large dazzling Shan Lian as white as gelatin exposed in front of him. When he bumped up, it suddenly trembled like waves, surging and surging, which was very eye-catching.
At this time, the driver who was driving seemed to be aware of this situation and hurriedly slowed down. The situation in the car became a little better.
Lorraine opened her mouth carefully, and after realizing that nothing unexpected would happen, she asked: "What's wrong with your carriage? Why don't you install springs and shock absorbers?"
Catherine was stunned, frowned, and said: "I have heard of shock absorbers. And they are installed. But what springs and shock absorbing plates are you talking about?"
Lorraine then realized that they didn't know how to use those two things.
He was immediately overjoyed. He was worried about money, but he didn't expect that this opportunity to make a fortune would come to his doorstep.
He thought for a while and said: "This thing... is too troublesome to talk about. Let's talk about it later. I will find a way to make it and install it on the car. You will know how easy it is to use. It's just..."
He paused here and looked at Catherine longingly.
Catherine smiled faintly and said: "You want money, right? Go back to Carter and just take as much as you want."
At this point, she suddenly changed her voice and said: "It's just tonight, you have to cooperate with me well. Otherwise, I will transfer you to the death squad~!"
At the end of her sentence, she suddenly realized that her tone was too harsh. She suddenly remembered the instructions in the letter, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly put on a smile again and said softly: "Understood? But we must cooperate well."
Me."
Everyone looked at her being soft and hard, and they were all confused for a moment. They didn't know what was going on with her. They couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
Catherine turned sideways, quietly patted her plump and towering breasts, and said to herself: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous. I almost forgot. You must be gentle, gentle. Otherwise, you will scare people away."
Everyone walked in the carriage for about ten minutes, then turned around and stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the car door opened.
Lorraine jumped out of the car first.
He stood on the ground, stamped his feet, looked up and saw a huge house not far away, and felt vaguely familiar. Turning his head and looking to the side, he could vaguely see the roof of his villa, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Authentic: "We're here. Why are you taking a carriage? Wouldn't it be better to just walk?"
Adele reached out and hit him on the head with the feather fan in her hand, and then said angrily: "Do you think this is in your countryside? The eldest princess must attend with some style. This is just for attending a wedding.
Yes. If it is a formal occasion, when she goes out, she will have to have a guard of honor, shouting in front of her and standing behind her, looking majestic and majestic~!"
