[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

Qingfeng Festival is an important traditional festival on Roland Continent.

In terms of importance, it is second only to the annual summer festival and New Year in people's minds, and is considered by the Roland people to be the third most important festival of the year.This festival is held on October [-]th every year, and it is the season when all things bear fruit and celebrate the harvest of the year.

As a traditional festival, it is said that thousands of years ago, the Roland people used to set up a large fire pillar on the square in the town every autumn, after a year of hard work and when the crops were harvested, and dance around the fire pillar , to thank God for a year of harvest and peace.More importantly, when the harvest is abundant, thanks to the blessings of heaven, the harvest this year can be enough to feed people, and there will be a lot of savings.

Therefore, there is also an informal folk saying for Qingfeng Festival, which is called "Qing Yu Nian".

As the evening approached, Du Wei put on a brand new dress early and waited for Prince Chen who was changing in the emperor's bedroom.Without making Du Wei wait for a long time, Prince Chen, who was dressed in red, came out from the room. He looked at Du Wei and smiled slightly, and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Du Wei's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Prince Chen intently.You know, Chen prefers cool colors and rarely wears such bright colors. "No, you change clothes very quickly." Those who can accompany in the bedroom are all Chen's absolute confidantes, and Du Wei always speaks and does things casually here.Taking a few steps forward to help Prince Chen caress the fox fur collar, Du Wei couldn't help leaning over and kissing Prince Chen's lips, "Chen, this dress looks good on you."

Prince Chen looked at Du Wei helplessly and connivingly, "Restrain yourself."

Du Wei smiled, turned around and took the emperor's scepter from a waiter behind him, held it in both hands and handed it over, "Your Majesty, your scepter."

Prince Chen took it, paused for a moment, didn't know what he was thinking, raised the scepter and tapped Du Wei's head lightly.The attendants and ladies present were all dumbfounded. His Majesty the Emperor took the scepter and knocked the Duke Tulip on the head. Such, such a naive behavior, they didn't see it, they didn't see it, they didn't see it!

The one who was more dumbfounded than them was Duke Tulip himself who was hit. Du Wei opened his mouth wide and looked at Prince Chen with somewhat incredible eyes.Prince Chen didn't feel uncomfortable in the upper half of his face. He held the scepter in a natural manner, turned around and walked out. After walking two steps, he saw that Du Wei was still stupid, so he couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you follow?"

"Oh, oh." Du Wei quickly came back to his senses, and followed Prince Chen out of the bedroom.

There are a large number of golden armor warriors waiting outside the bedroom, as well as a long guard of honor, ceremonial officials, court ladies and so on.After leaving the bedroom and coming in front of outsiders, it is impossible for Du Wei and Prince Chen to get along so casually. Prince Chen walks at the front of the line with a scepter in his hand, and Du Wei follows behind him with a staggered step.

The largest main hall in the palace is decorated with splendor and splendor, while outside, eight pairs of burly strong men, naked to the upper body, wearing golden trousers that symbolize a good harvest, holding a sledgehammer in their hands, two for every standing On both sides of a big drum as tall as a person.And when His Majesty the Emperor and his party came, every time a big drum passed by, the two wrestlers beat the drum vigorously.

As Prince Chen came to the gate of the main hall, the drums rang loudly, and the guards of honor on both sides blew their horns. Amidst the majestic etiquette and music, a court etiquette officer in full costume stood at the gate of the main hall and announced loudly, " Everyone, please welcome the supreme ruler, the owner of the continent, His Majesty the Emperor of the Roland Empire!"

After a buzzing sound, the main hall fell into absolute silence. There were at least hundreds of noble men and women in grand dresses standing on both sides of the main hall, and on the high platform directly in front of the main hall, there were those who entered the hall in advance and waited here. Empress of the Empire.The queen, who has always been rumored to be gentle and gentle, was in a trance for a moment. The emperor outside the palace gate and Duke Tulip came together. The nobles lowered their heads and dared not look directly at them, but she could see clearly. Chu, before His Majesty stepped into the main hall, he turned his head and glanced at Duke Tulip. His eyes and expression were very gentle...

The queen took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly, her expression was calm as usual.Prince Chen walked through the long red carpet and sat on the emperor's throne next to the empress. After he took his seat, Du Wei took the seat specially vacated for him - the first seat on the left side of the emperor's throne, The seat closest to the emperor - sit up and sit down.

In fact, on such a grand occasion, Du Wei accompanied Prince Chen into the main hall, which is also a matter of particularity.This kind of honor has always been only given to the first minister of the empire. In the past, only the old prime minister Robeschel was able to receive such treatment. However, now that he has retreated to the second line, such honor has belonged to Du Wei.

The toasting ceremony began soon. Prince Chen got up from his seat, took the gold cup brought by the court attendant, and smiled, "May the fortune of the empire be prosperous, and the thorn flower flag will always fly on the mainland." After finishing speaking, he He raised his wine glass and touched his lips - since he had the experience of getting drunk in the Tulip Duke's Mansion last time, Prince Chen has decided not to drink unless necessary in the future.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Hundreds of people shouted loudly, regardless of gender, they all drank the wine in their cups.

Then began the dance party. According to tradition, the first dance was performed by the emperor and the empress together. Prince Chen directly invited the empress beside him to dance together.Even though the two haven't been close for a long time, both of them have been taught strict court etiquette since they were young. They are skilled in dancing and have outstanding dancing posture. Once the dance is over, they won the praise of the whole audience.

Then, the second dance was played, but no one moved... In the aristocratic circle of the Roland Empire, tradition is very important, and this second dance is also particular.This is an established and unwritten rule: after the second dance music is played, those who are present tonight, except His Majesty the Emperor, must be the person with the highest status to enter the dance hall first.Only after this person makes the first move can the others leave, otherwise, it will be considered a rude and arrogant act.

But on this occasion, besides the emperor with the highest status, Du Wei, Grand Duke Tulip of the Empire counts as one, and old Robeschell, who has spent his whole life in officialdom and been the prime minister of the Empire for many years, counts as one.In recent years, the old prime minister's physical health has been declining day by day, and dancing is no longer suitable for him. He can not participate in this kind of occasion on weekdays, so the rest is Du Wei.

As we all know, the 17-year-old Tulip Duke Du Wei doesn't even have a fiancée, not even a marriage contract!Many nobles in the empire are thinking about the possibility of marrying this red-hot grand duke—as for the scandals about the other party, they can be ignored in the interests of the family—and many noble girls are interested in this grand duke. The legendary teenage duke has a great deal of affection.

Du Wei secretly rolled his eyes helplessly.No matter what life he was in, he hated dancing for no reason, absolutely!Although he can use Karina as a shield, after all, Karina has just turned eight years old, and she is too young even for a princess, but Du Wei has been in contact with Karina a lot these days, and his attitude towards her has become more cautious. .

Because Du Wei unfortunately thought of some things in his previous life. Although he swore that the way he treated Karina was always the way the elders treated the juniors, but with Karina's admiration for him in the previous life, he really can't guarantee that he will not treat Karina in this life. The same situation happened... If Chen found out that he had accidentally abducted his daughter's heart, Du Wei would be sweating profusely thinking of that scene, he would never dare to take such a risk.

So inviting the little princess to her first dance in her life...is absolutely not allowed!

Neither can Princess Louise, as we all know that Louise has not been engaged yet, it would be terrible if she is misunderstood, not to mention other noble girls, the troubles are the same.Du Wei thought about it, but he couldn't find a good candidate. He simply leaned back on the chair, pretended to be weak, and said to Prince Chen beside him, "Your Majesty, I accidentally caught a cold yesterday. Feeling dizzy... Sigh, the wind and cold in this season are really severe, Your Majesty should be more careful..."

The implication of Du Wei's words is obvious, he is sick, very sick, not suitable for dancing, please come out and lead the dance alone!

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't see any sickness from Duke Tulip's healthy and ruddy face at all, but since everyone said so, everyone was still very sensible.Since the Duke Tulip and the old Chancellor did not dance, the person who led the dance became the Chancellor of the Empire.

Prince Chen found it funny when he saw Du Wei's weak appearance, and lowered his voice, "You don't want to dance?"

Du Wei put on a helpless expression, "Your Majesty, it's all for nothing, dance, please forgive me." Has he lost face in dancing and suffered less?Without a suitable and safe partner, he would never dance.

"It's just dancing, why is it like wanting your life?" Prince Chen thought it was too funny, he had seen a lot of Du Wei's fearless attitude on weekdays, and it was really interesting to come here suddenly today.

Du Wei rubbed his nose and looked at Prince Chen with an even more helpless expression, "Your Majesty, just think that I am not good at etiquette and not good at dancing."

"I remember, you seemed to be with..." Prince Chen spent a few seconds thinking about it before digging out a name from his mind, "dancing with Dai Li."

Prince Chen obviously has very little memory of the beautiful imperial concubine whom he was newly married to, so that he, who has always had a good memory, needs to think a lot before he can remember the name of his concubine.This fact obviously pleased Du Wei, who showed a bright smile and said, "Oh, Princess Daili is your wife after all, and I still respect her very much."

For some reason, upon hearing this, Prince Chen always felt a little uncomfortable. He took a sip of the wine in his glass, and just as he was about to speak, a rumbling drum sounded outside the hall, followed by the horn of the guard of honor. One by one, this shows that another distinguished guest with a very high status is coming.

Sure enough, a loud and clear voice was the announcement from the etiquette officer standing outside the hall:

"The Temple of Light in the Mainland, His Majesty the Pope is here!"
