"Haha, that's true." Long Lin chuckled softly, "It seems that I haven't seen him for more than three years. I wonder if he is still as bohemian as before. I remember that every time he met me, he asked me to call him uncle.
In fact, he is only a few years older than me, so I really can’t say it out loud.”
"Although he is a few years older than you, in terms of seniority, he is your elder and the only remaining descendant of the William family." At this point, a hint of sadness passed through the Queen's eyes, but it passed away so inadvertently.
, in a flash, her eyes were calm again, and there was still a gentle smile on her lips.
William family? If Xia Xue remembers correctly, the king of the previous world seems to have the surname William. Is it the same family?
Xia Xue didn't know much about politics, just a little bit. It was easy to see from Her Majesty the Queen's words and expression that she thought highly of Duke William, and even said that she had some respect for him. I'm afraid the whole world can make the Queen
His Majesty hosted a banquet in the Holy Canon, and the only one who waited patiently for more than half an hour was Duke William.
At this moment, Long Yi suddenly stood up and stepped up to leave.
"Yi." The Queen immediately stood up and held him, "Wait a minute, Duke William, you must see him."
"I never wait for anyone. This time, for my mother's sake, I have been waiting for him for half an hour. This is my limit." Long Yi frowned and said very unhappy.
"Wait ten more minutes, just ten minutes, okay? Be obedient." The queen talked to Long Yi like a loving mother coaxing a bad-tempered child.
Long Lin turned away his eyes, with unconcealable displeasure on his face. The queen would always be so kind to Long Yi, and even belittle her. If it had been him, the queen would have been furious with Long Yan.
"Your Highness, please wait a little longer. Don't embarrass Your Majesty." Luo Ying stood up and persuaded softly.
Long Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally sat back on the sofa.
Seeing that Long Yi actually listened to Luo Ying's words, Xia Xue felt even more sour and gloomy. Her eyes could not help but linger on Long Yi's face, but he never looked at her from beginning to end.
"Your Highness, please have some coffee." The palace attendant brought another cup of the finest Blue Mountain.
"Take it away." Long Yi shouted coldly.
The palace attendant was so frightened that he trembled and took the coffee away with his head humbled.
"Let me make you a cup of scented tea. You never like drinking coffee. Drink some tea and maybe you will calm down." Luo Ying stood up and walked to the tea room on the right.
"Luo Ying knows you quite well, but he actually knows your preferences? Even the queen mother doesn't know that you like to drink scented tea." The Queen asked Long Yi tentatively.
"I didn't know before that the scented tea she makes is very good and can make me feel peaceful." Long Yi responded lightly, his eyes inadvertently touched Xia Xue's amber eyes, and seeing the complicated sadness in her eyes, he felt inexplicably irritated.
, his brows wrinkled.
"What's wrong? You don't look good?" Long Lin asked Xia Xue with concern, holding her hand gently with his long slender palms, "Your hands are so cold, are you feeling uncomfortable? You haven't recovered from your cold yet?"
"No..." Xia Xue pulled back and said softly, "I want to go to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you." Long Lin said considerately.
"No, I can go by myself." Xia Xue stood up, and the palace attendant behind her respectfully took her to the bathroom.
After the two girls left, Her Majesty the Queen said to Long Lin with a smile while sipping coffee: "Ling, it seems that you and Xue'er are developing well."
"Haha, yes, Queen Mother, do you like her?" Long Lin looked at the Queen expectantly, but the corner of his eye was looking at Long Yi. He wanted to see if Long Yi cared about Xia Xue, but Long Lin
Wings seemed unmoved.
"Of course I like it. Xue'er is a good girl. She was born in a famous family, has a noble status, is well-educated and sensible, and is very suitable to be the future princess." The Queen patted Long Lin's hand, "Seize the opportunity and book this marriage as soon as possible. If
If you can marry Xueer, the Xia family will become our in-laws from now on, and the Danish royal family will be even more powerful."
"I will, Queen Mother..."
"It's your usual style to use feelings as a bargaining chip for profit." Long Yi's cold voice suddenly interrupted Long Lin's words, making the entire atmosphere stiff.
"Brother, it doesn't matter if you want to target me, but you shouldn't speak to your mother like this. I like Xue'er, so..."
"Do you like her as a person or as a person?" Long Yi smiled coldly, "If she was just a girl from an ordinary family, would you also like her?"
"Yes!" Long Lin answered without hesitation, so decisively that he even surprised himself. At this moment, his heart was saying to himself, Long Lin, you are finished, you really like her.
Long Yi stared at him and said no more.
"Yi, although Queen Mother values a good match, she values your personal happiness even more." The Queen said to Long Yi earnestly, "My Queen will not force you to enter into a political marriage. I only advocate that if the girl you like can come from a noble family, then
That's the best, but if you like girls from common people, Queen Mother will not object. Just like Luo Ying, although her family is not as powerful as Xia Xue, but if you like her..."
"My destiny has always been decided by me and no one can control it." Long Yi interrupted the queen indifferently and said decisively, "You don't have to tell me this. If I like a girl, I don't need you.
opinions.”
After hearing these words, the queen lowered her eyes gloomily and stopped talking.
"Brother, you have really gone too far. From the first day you woke up, what have we done to displease you? Why are you so intentional with everyone, even your relatives?
?My father, my queen, my mother, and I, everyone is so kind to you and is always humble to you, but you are still not satisfied. Every time we meet, the atmosphere becomes tense and everyone breaks up unhappy."
Long Lin frowned and asked angrily.
Normally, if Long Lin said something to question Long Yi, the Queen would quickly stop her. But this time, she surprisingly did not stop her because this was the answer she wanted to know.
"Want to know?" Long Yi raised his eyebrows and asked seriously, "Then, please tell me why my memory before the age of twenty-five is blank? I just want to know this answer."
"Yi, why did you suddenly ask this question again?" The Queen frowned and said worriedly, "I have told you this question before..."
"Don't tell me those reasons again. There is no truth at all. I just want to know such a simple answer. No matter what the truth is, I will bear it myself. Why don't you tell me? I have the right to know my life.
.From the beginning to the end, what you have given me is a strong atmosphere of interest. I cannot find the so-called warmth of family members in you..."
"wing……"
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" A very magnetic voice came, interrupting everyone's conversation.
