boy and bone

On the mahogany table, the bubbles in the green ale floated bright candlelight.

The silk and satin dresses of the ladies and ladies dance like tulips in full bloom.

Pearls, crystals and emeralds adorn their foreheads, collarbones, wrists, and ankles one after another. The flexible body branches seem to be drenched in a star shower, wandering and waiting like elves.

In contrast, the princes and grandchildren of slightly inferior colors use girdles to uplift the domineering momentum, and use dresses to modify their demeanor and conversation.

In one dance song after another, the retreat and reserved pace of a couple of beauties, the smile and sternness of the ceremony each have their own edges and corners.

The majesty of the kings of the past dynasties hangs on both sides of the hall, and here, only they maintain solemnity all the time.

The crisp collision of transparent wine glasses hides a cold mystery, and the bass harpsichord proclaims elegance.

At night, the Dolam Palace fades away the majesty under the sun and the hidden gunpowder, and replaces it with the luxury and innocence that seems to be in a dreamy world. What has not changed is the complexity of people's hearts.

The clan reception is a political tradition handed down after all the clans in the Western Continent formed an alliance to maintain unity and stability for a long time.Headed by the only surviving Tiqi royal family in the struggle between the six clans, every summer, the Tiqi Palace will hold a ten-day to twenty-day deliberation reception, calling the heads of various clans or orderers to come one after another. come and participate.

During the day, the leaders of various clans gathered in Dolam Palace, the main palace of the Tiqi Palace, to discuss matters that had been pending for nearly a year. Leaders of all ethnic groups and their families are invited to the reception and dance.Even if the meeting at the round table is unpleasant during the day, the people at the drinking party at night will not reveal it.

These men and women, who symbolize wisdom and justice at the head of the clan during the day, also become casual and frank at night when they are slightly drunk. Their appearance and temperament began to be judged.

Yuexi Guilanzhi was standing alone in front of the window at this moment, and no one had invited her to dance. She was wearing a long white gauze dress, standing there quietly, like a flower that floated ashore unintentionally by the sea. The waves of the moonlight shatter the foam, and the ingenious style of the long skirt subtly outlines her slender waist. When Pingting walks, she occasionally reveals the high-heeled sandals covered with pearls and glass wrapped around a pair of beautiful feet under the skirt , but what she didn't know was that her pair of eye-catching sandals had aroused many discussions from careful people behind her back.

"Look at her pair of shoes. They are purely handmade by the top shoemaker Ria Chasi. There are only two pairs in the world. One pair was given to Princess Tiqi as a birthday gift, and the other pair is clearly priced at 600 million miran. At that time, I mentioned this matter to my father, but he didn't agree to let me buy it... I didn't expect it to fall into her hands in the end."

"Wow, 600 million, the Kiranji clan is still rich, and my brother also said that their family is going to be ruined. From this point of view, a pair of shoes can be easily taken out for 600 million yuan. How much is the ordinary expenses of the Kiranji family? Woolen cloth."

"No, look at the brothers above her, how can they be as extravagant as her. She relies on her father's favor..."

"I'm so envious of her, her father dotes on her, and her fiancé is so outstanding."

"Don't you know? Her marriage has been called off long ago, and her fiancé has been thrown into prison."

"what?"

"Then who is she dressing so fancy for?"

"Of course it's hooking up the next big fish."

"I've heard she's very 'that.'"

"Which 'that' is?"

"It's just... teasing men everywhere, being promiscuous."

"Isn't that the same as the 'Little Witch' of the Woodwind Clan?"

"It's not the same. The one from Mufeng has just grown up, and he is just teasing on the lips. I heard that Kiranji is 'experienced', and he is particularly strong in that aspect. I heard that there are men who want to satisfy She, who overdosed on aphrodisiac IIIIIII, died on her bed..."

The ladies who were not out of the cabinet all blushed as if they couldn't bear it.

At this time, a deep male voice jumped into the conversation of the ladies: "Miss, would you please dance with me?"

Ladies looking up, the man in front of him has extraordinary appearance, his humble posture has a demeanor that attracts people to sink, but the deep and shrewd eyebrows and ruthless lips imply how many ignorant hearts he has hurt. People just need to pay attention to it. You can see the frivolity behind him through every move.

Good girls are very smart, they would never choose Al Mubrov Fkosa as a candidate for a partner, and try to avoid contact with such a dangerous person, he has a good reputation, even if he is enough to be pleasing to the eye , They just looked at it from a distance like through a window, and they would not easily hand themselves over to each other.Like a butterfly among flowers, its flying appearance is colorful, but when it lands on your fingertips, it is not difficult to find that its ugly and real face is set off under its beautiful wings, which looks like any A pest you hate.

"I'm very sorry, Earl Fukosa, we are all a little tired, and we just want to sit down and chat with the sisters about the girl's family."

One of the ladies refused.

Fortunately, Fukosa did not entangle, he still bowed very gracefully: "I wish all the angels a happy night."

Under everyone's speculative and curious gazes, the young Earl Al Mubrov Fkosa quickly found his next target.

It's not that Yuexi doesn't know the identity of this man, but because of his father's instructions, he can refuse all men's invitations to dance tonight, except Al's invitation.Yuexi has also inquired about this distinguished guest from the Southern Continent from various aspects, and his love affairs are more famous than the achievements he has created.

In the midst of the melodious dance music, Yuexi saw that the dance partners of other people around her couldn't help but look at Al with a slight retreat, so she smiled and said, "Your reputation doesn't seem to be very good."

Al smiled: "Your too."

"Do you care?" Yuexi replied.

The man in front of him seemed to be intoxicated, sniffing lightly from Yuexi's long hair, "You are so fragrant, look at your exquisite makeup, look at your pure and noble dress, you seem to be caught The puppet carefully polished by the gods is unbelievably perfect, breathtakingly beautiful, and falsely beautiful..."

Yuexi felt sick from the bottom of her stomach at the man's behavior, but she still showed distress on her face: "Lord Earl, I don't know what my father asked you, but you know my fianc I can't extricate myself from the quagmire of this relationship, I admit that you are indeed a very attractive person, but I really don't have the energy to start a new relationship now... Forgive me, or can you wait for me?"

Al held Yuexi's slightly sweaty palm: "Oh, maybe I'm drunk, but I was listening to someone talking in my sleep."

Yue Xi was taken aback, but then showed caution.

Aldao: "You may have misunderstood something, I will not marry you. But I am really happy to spend a good night with you."

Yuexi frowned uncontrollably.

Al went on to say: "This is beneficial to our business, isn't it? I promise that no matter what you need in the future, I will give you the mining rights and ownership rights, and I also promise that I will never die in your bed."

After hearing this, Yuexi's eyes were closed for a while, and then raised his head, he smiled and hugged Al's shoulders, tipped up the tip of his pearl shoes, and gently leaned against the man's ear, uttering a word in a voice that only two people could hear. word:

"roll."

The ball was over, and the ladies and ladies went to their dormitories one after another.

In the corridor of the courtyard, there were two ladies holding hands and whispering privately: "Hey, did you see Yuexi Guilanzhi and the Earl of the Mechanical Alliance at the ball?"

"I see, wow, I heard that the Duke of Guilanzhi is going to marry the Earl of the Mechanical Alliance..." said a woman.

"Really?" The other woman snickered and said, "One is skittish and the other is frivolous. I really look forward to them being together."

"why?"

"I want to see who of them can outdo the other."

"Hahaha, you are so annoying."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a pearl-colored figure leaned against the beams and pillars under the corridor and was smiling towards them.

Both of them were startled and immediately put away their laughter, then pretended to be innocent and lifted the hem of their skirts, and greeted, "Miss Yuexi."

Then hurried past Yuexi.

Yuexi smiled and watched the two people who were talking to him go away. In a place where they couldn't see, his face turned cold for a moment, and he was so angry that he took off the sandal on one of his feet and wanted to move toward the two. A figure moving in annoying small steps smashed it.

But then he thought that this shoe worth 300 million would be returned to the little princess of the Tiqi clan undamaged in a few days, so he gave up.

Yuexi bent down to fasten the sandals again, stood up again, and boredom immediately flooded into his heart.It just so happened that a silver light shone on his side face at this time, Yuexi turned her head and looked, and there was a small lake with a very wide scenery in the distance.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Yue Xi stepped over the railing of the corridor, set foot on the lawn in the courtyard, and walked towards the small lake in the center of the courtyard.

Under the night, surrounded by silence, Yuexi was alone looking at the calm lake, the clear lake reflected his fake face with heavy make-up.

Yuexi couldn't help but sighed a long time.His mechanical maid was regarded as a weapon and kept out of the clan reception, and his only close friend should be locked in a cold armory somewhere in the palace where the clan reception was held at this moment, until the reception ended He couldn't even meet her again, and Yuexi suddenly felt that she had been alone and helpless, no one knew the truth, no one cared about his reality, and even his friends were puppets he imagined.At the same time, he also knows that self-pity is useless, and he needs to change everything by himself.

This kind of thinking made him firmer in an unknown decision that he had hidden deep in his heart before.After rearranging her mood, Yuexi smiled at her own reflection in the lake: "Goodbye."

Just as Yuexi was about to turn back, the man who appeared behind him said in shock: "Count Al, you scared me."

Al didn't show any apology, instead he approached Yuexi and said, "Who are you saying goodbye to?"

Yue Xi quickly realized that he showed his gentle and demure side, and replied: "The elf in the lake."

"You are such a romantic poet." Al complimented.

"No, I'm not." Yuexi had no intention of dealing with him, and said, "Did Count Al come here specifically to find me?"

"No, I'm not." Al imitated his tone and replied, "I'm just attracted by the elves in the lake just like you."

"I thought you were a realistic person who knew how to enjoy, but now it seems that you are a little more naive than I thought, and you seem to have some unrealistic ideas." Al said.

Yuexi is very annoying, very annoying when a man babbles, especially when a man is dressed more fancy than a woman, and his body is more fragrant than a woman.

"First of all, I want to apologize for the frivolous words I said to you at the ball." Al said: "I thought that we could be like the sons of other clans and the queens of the earls who are combined for interests, and our married life will not disturb each other. Passed through smoothly. But what I saw at the dance just now, you don't seem to be as 'reasonable' as the rumors... Sorry, I offended you."

Yuexi knew it was caused by his 'open' criticism, although more than half of the slander was caused by himself, he thought he could use these remarks to resist the pursuit of everyone and to delay as much as possible. For his marriage, after all, there will be no decent person who needs a romantic 'wife', but Yue Xi never counted, his fake romantic can be targeted by a real romantic.

Suddenly, Yuexi had an idea. Hearing what Earl Al said, Earl Al thought that Yuexi Guilanzhi had the same style as him, so he thought he would be his like-minded 'friend'. Al seemed to be looking for a figurehead His wife will be used as a shield for him to mess around in the future, which was missed in Yuexi's previous plan.

Thinking about it now, instead of using rumors to reject a marriage, it is more thorough and decisive to use marriage to reject a marriage. Al’s proposal coincides with Yuexi’s purpose at a certain point, and Yuexi changed her mind after thinking about it Said: "Count Al, I was rude before, I hope you don't mind. As you said, our combination is beneficial and harmless. After some advice from you just now, I understand your intention. You are indeed A very thoughtful person, and I think I'll give it some serious consideration."

Aldau: "I'm delighted by your change, yes, I look forward to your reply."

At this moment, Al's gaze moved down. He had already noticed something wrong with Yue Xi's feet, and said, "I need to remind you that the straps on your sandals are untied."

As he said that, Al squatted down halfway, as if he was trying to help Yuexi tie her shoelaces.

Seeing that his hands were about to touch his ankles, Yuexi immediately took a step back in repulsion. Unexpectedly, he was too close to the lake, and when he stepped back, the heels of his shoes were suspended on the edge of the pool.

Seeing Yuexi's figure leaning back, Al immediately stood up and put his arms around her waist.

Yuexi was brought back by his arms, but for some reason, Yuexi was grabbed by someone at the waist, as if her finger was bitten by a mouse, and she pushed the man who was holding him away with her backhand. A push instead pushed Al into the lake.

Yue Xi also acted subconsciously, and he didn't expect that it would lead to a big mistake. He saw the man in rich clothes fall into the water, his golden head was ups and downs on the water surface, splashing the water, he shouted: "Save... I don't... swim!"

Yuexi panicked and jumped into the water. He swam to Al who was sinking into the lake and was struggling constantly, hugged his chest, and dragged his heavy body to the shore. However, Al's weight and his constant struggle made Yuexi It was difficult to move an inch in the water, Yue Xi suddenly said angrily: "Relax, don't jump around!"

Hearing that, Al was indeed much more honest.

After Yuexi dragged Al Feili ashore, fortunately Al did not choke on the water for too long. After he got ashore, he only coughed for a while and then recovered a little strength. He kept saying to the person under him who was also drenched: "Thank you...thank you you."

"It's okay, Earl, can you stand up? I can't breathe under your pressure." Yuexi said with chest tightness.

Seeing that his posture lying on Yuexi's body was really indecent, Al hurriedly got up, but unexpectedly, in his panic, his palm pressed the other's lower body.

Yue Xi sat up abruptly, almost screaming out, gritted his teeth and hurriedly rolled away from under Al.

Al was startled: "You?"

Yuexi's face was pale: "It's okay, the lake is too cold, I'll go back and change clothes. Earl Al, you can..."

Yuexi stood up staggeringly, and ran away from the lake as if fleeing before finishing her sentence.

When the guards of Tiqi's palace noticed the movement by the lake and rushed over, only Earl Al was left by the lake, his blond hair was soaked, and he stared blankly at his palm...
