[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

At the end of the year 960 of the empire, Du Wei went to the northwest fiefdom for more than a year and nearly two years. In less than two years, Du Wei's position in the northwest gradually stabilized, and a city of miracles was established in three months. Repelling the invasion of the prairie people, and a series of things made Du Wei change from a duke in name to a powerful figure with real power.

This time, after returning to the imperial capital after a year of absence, Du Wei was still in a good mood, except that he was forced to marry by Prince Chen again.When Du Wei left the imperial capital, he did not take Vivienne with him, but left her in the imperial magic academy, and asked her nominal senior brothers to take care of her.As for the glamorous Mrs. Liszt, Du Wei has tried his best to keep a considerable distance from her—at first, her request to visit was all politely rejected by Du Wei in every possible way!

But who knows, this Mrs. Liszt simply acted as if she didn't hear his refusal, and she still brought her younger sister Angel and her "brother" Muse.Everyone had already arrived, and Du Wei couldn't keep them out, so he could only welcome them in angrily, and even arranged for people to entertain them well.As for Du Wei himself, he can hide as far as he can, so that at his 15-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Du Wei specially invited an old lady whom he respects as his dance partner for the coming-of-age ceremony dance, and he was determined not to do it again. Give Mrs. Lister any chance to create rumors.

But God knows what happened, Mrs. Liszt went around in a big circle, and finally proposed to him one night!Not long after the news spread, Prince Chen also made rumors that he seemed to be considering marrying his younger sister, Princess Louise, to Du Wei.What's worse now than in his previous life is that he can't find a woman of sufficient weight to help him push back this royal marriage—of course, Du Wei doesn't plan to find a woman to push back.

Du Wei sat in the carriage, opened the window and looked out, the imperial capital was already faintly visible in the distance. Du Wei thought of what he planned to do when he came back this time, a smile appeared on his lips, and he didn't know what kind of expression Chen would show Well, it's really... looking forward to it.

When Du Wei's carriage drove to the gate of the city, he was greeted by a group of nobles from the imperial capital. Count Villa, Delanshan Warcraft, Baron Sark, Camisiro... are all generals and confidantes of Prince Chen's family. Now they are all powerful figures who have a place in the center of the imperial capital.Not only that, there was also an army lined up at the gate of the city, and the guard of honor above the city tower was even more impressive.It can be said that it is completely a posture to welcome the triumphant general, but the scale is slightly reduced.

Even though he experienced it once in his previous life, after two years away from the imperial capital, Du Wei still couldn't help but feel warmed by the welcome scene specially ordered by Prince Chen.Du Wei got out of the carriage, exchanged greetings with the nobles, and then rode into the city.Then Du Wei was surrounded by everyone and returned to the former Earl of Rollin's mansion and now the Tulip Duke's mansion - this mansion was naturally also given to Du Wei by Prince Chen personally asking the Financial Secretary to return it to Du Wei.

——Of course, Prince Chen gave him such a great favor, not only because he wanted Du Wei to marry the royal family, but also because of other big sticks.

Du Wei sneered when he thought of this, he didn't mind being tricked by Chen occasionally, it was just for fun, but the temple, the pope...in the name of disaster relief, the pope personally promised to be baptized, such a challenge to the dignity of the royal family... This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that on the day of the coup, the reason why the holy knights of the temple agreed to help Prince Chen was precisely because Prince Chen promised that after the incident... Prince Chen promised that the Pope would accept it openly. His baptism, then officially recognized him as godfather, and saluted him as godson!

And the time is set one month after the beginning of spring next year.

Du Wei thought for a long time, thought about it back and forth for a long time, but in the end he still hesitated to decide whether to take action.He has never been out of the control of that goddess in his previous life, and even now, he is under surveillance!Although the current Semel is not a goddess yet, her essence has not changed, the difference is just a chance!

Du Wei never believed in God, let alone fate, but what the goddess said was right, everyone has flaws!Du Wei admitted that there are many things in his heart that he can't let go of, so he can't be perfect, but the goddess is more ruthless than him.Du Wei has never been a timid person, but he didn't dare to gamble on what the outcome would be if he got in touch with the conflicts between the so-called gods earlier.He used to think that the worst outcome would be death, but this time, he began to cherish his life.

Yes, he began to cherish his life, he did not want to die so easily, nor did he want to be the victim of the battle between the gods.So Du Wei didn't dare to take too many risks. He walked step by step according to the pace of his previous life. Of course, he knew so many things, and naturally he would not make mistakes again, so his life was smoother than in his previous life.However, Du Wei couldn't help sighing when he thought about his own psychology in his previous life. Sure enough, he would be afraid of death if he had someone he wanted to cherish seriously.

Du Wei stayed in the Duke's mansion silently for a while, then went out to inspect the property under his name, and gave Prince Chen sufficient information to block the auction items from the temple to the auction house under his name.Du Wei stayed outside for one night, and the next day he leisurely returned to the Duke's Mansion, and what he was waiting for was Zack, the manager with a mournful face.

Du Wei yawned on the spot and patted Zac on the shoulder, "Okay, I know what you want to say, okay, I'll go to the auction house to buy things, and you, go prepare a 2000 Let’s talk about [-] gold coins.” Last night, he was so depressed about the temple that he couldn’t sleep well, so he just got up and prepared medicine for Chen.

During the nearly two years since Du Wei left the imperial capital, Du Wei would send someone to deliver a bottle of potion to the imperial palace every four days, no matter what time of day it was.Of course, Du Wei's actions are very hidden, and there are naturally people who know, but they are all Du Wei's confidantes, such as Philip, his staff who has always relied heavily on him.As for Prince Chen's side, Du Wei believed that Chen's ability to hide this kind of news was only as good as his.

Du Wei ignored Zach, who had a weird face after listening to him, cleaned himself up, and went to the auction house Shi Shiran.In the end, Du Wei still spent 600 million gold coins to buy the "precious" promise from the Pope—the incident of Her Majesty the Holy Lady in the middle happened as usual—after spending this huge sum of money, Du Wei returned to the Duke's Mansion , waiting wholeheartedly for the summoning of Prince Chen.

When the court envoy finally came belatedly to bring the summoning order from His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, Du Wei was already drowsy from waiting - he really didn't sleep well the first night, and he couldn't be blamed for that.Du Wei went to change his clothes in front of the court envoy, and followed him into the palace.

After entering the palace, Du Wei got out of the carriage, and someone came up to deliver an order saying that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was in the garden of the palace, and Duke Tulip was invited to have an audience immediately.Although Du Wei spent a lot of money today, he was in a good mood. After all, it was the first time that he saw Chen again after more than a year. Although there were many bad things, this could not stop Du Wei from being in a good mood.

Du Wei walked all the way to the garden. The garden of the palace is full of thorn flowers. Du Wei has seen this life from his previous life, but he really can't see what is worth admiring about this flower—perhaps the only thing worthy of praise is vitality Tenacity——What level of appreciation was Aragorn back then?If you think about it this way, it is quite good for Chen to designate him as the Duke of Tulip, at least the tulip flower is beautiful, well, the most important thing is that it is Chen's favorite flower.

From a distance, Du Wei saw a figure in a simple and elegant white robe, sitting on a stone bench in the garden, as if he was resting with his eyes closed.Prince Chen's temperament has undergone a lot of changes from a year ago, becoming more calm, restrained, and unfathomable, but the original gentleness has not changed much.Such Prince Chen is exactly the same as the person in Du Wei's memory.

Du Wei stared blankly for a while, and when Prince Chen opened his eyes to look over, he suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly lowered his head and saluted, "Your Highness."

Prince Chen looked at Du Wei carefully for a long time.For Prince Chen, during the nearly two years since Du Wei left the imperial capital, the presence of the other party has only become stronger day by day.Not only because of the miracles Du Wei created in the northwest and the military achievements he gained, but also because of the potions that were delivered to him without any interruption in the past two years.

Du Wei is undoubtedly a talented person, and he is also a rare smart person. Prince Chen is willing to deal with such people, and hopes that such people can be loyal to him.Du Wei is an existence that meets the requirements of Prince Chen. In various senses, Du Wei has always done it perfectly.

Ability and loyalty, he seems to be lacking in everything, but this kind of Du Wei made Prince Chen feel weird.Prince Chen vaguely felt that Du Wei seemed to be treating him too kindly, well, it was not like ordinary courtiers caring for the monarch at all.Every time he thinks of this, Prince Chen controls himself not to continue. After all, if he thinks about it further, the conclusion he draws is a bit too absurd for Prince Chen.

"Du Wei," Prince Chen said after the silence, his tone was very light and affectionate, "You are here, let me take a look. Well, I haven't seen you in the northwest for two years, and you seem to have grown a lot taller."

This is true. The 14-year-old Du Wei was a head shorter than the 24-year-old Prince Chen, but now they are almost the same height.Du Wei was still very satisfied with his current height, so he laughed when he heard what Prince Chen said, and said, "Compared to two years ago, Your Highness has not changed much, and his demeanor remains the same."

Prince Chen acted as if he didn't understand the subtle meaning in Du Wei's words, but continued on his own, "You are not only taller, but also darker. The two years of wind and frost in the northwest have really worked hard." .”

Du Wei made up his mind to make things clear when he came this time, so he didn't intend to continue going around in circles with Prince Chen, and said directly, "It's hard work for His Highness."

The author has something to say:

Touching my chin, I clicked straight to the original story after Du Wei went to the Northwest ╮(╯_╰)╭

Anyway, the past two years have been the development period when Du Wei took root in the Northwest. The Tulip family has entered a regular development channel. With enough capital, Du Wei can chase after his wife without any scruples~(≧▽≦)/~啦啦La

As for how it developed in the past two years, I wrote a lot in the original book. I always feel that I can't sum it up, and there is not much involved with Prince Chen. Let's just skip it and let Du Wei return to the Northwest.
