Good-looking, not allowed to farm

(One)

"Am I going to change my surname to Dressel in the future?"

Mrs. Laureys said to herself in the mirror: "What a hell! I should have anything to do with that prudish old man who is plagued!"

"Maybe I will be under the same roof with him in the future..."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but made a puking expression, and then said to herself: "Anyway, I won't listen to his nagging, he better not think he can discipline me!"

At this time, it was the eve of the wedding.

But Mrs. Laureys was full of reluctance.

Especially thinking of what Jamie said earlier about inheritance rights!

She wished she could repent immediately, and rushed out on the spot to shout, quickly cancel this annoying wedding.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Because all the preparatory work has been completed, even the wedding dress has to be rushed out.

Even His Majesty the King fulfilled a previous promise to the bride early—before the wedding, he issued a decree to promote the earl to the groom in time, making the newlyweds, at least in terms of status, considered a good match for each other.

This decree is extremely rare.

It's because although King Richard often made some verbal promises like "do a good job, and I will give you a knighthood in the future", but when it is really necessary to fulfill it, it often takes ten or eight years.

After all, there are too many people asking him for money, officials, and titles.

Although he is the king of a country, the whole country is his.

But you have to know that even a god can't respond to requests, let alone a mortal king?

Therefore, even though he is called a king, he must be like a businessman secretly, always calculating carefully and calculating everything.

For example, if you think about it, how much benefit can you get by paying a title, and how many problems can you solve?

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this decree is extremely generous, and the earl was awarded as soon as it came up.

But in fact, as far as the king is concerned, it was all calculated early on.

Think about it, only such a title is given out...

It not only appeased Lord Dressel, but also showed the king's great love for his loyal courtiers; he also indirectly resolved the crisis of his mistress, Mrs. Lauris' illegitimate child, and found a good home for his own child;

At the same time, without anyone knowing, he secretly took care of his illegitimate brother Louis, who had a secret life experience.

It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

A surefire deal.

It was also because of these many reasons that Jamie was able to transform into a triple jump and become Count Louis-Beckett-Dreisel.

And because the vast majority of people in the royal city don't know the secret life experience of 'Louis'; they don't even know that the king still intends to appease Lord Dressel.

They simply associated this title with Mrs. Lauris, and they were all envious for a while:

"Damn it, I didn't expect that as long as I spared my face and married a slut, I would have such benefits. That's an earl!"

"At this point, don't you understand? These days, what's the point of being shameless! What's the use of having face? As long as a man has a title, who cares who his wife sleeps with at night? "

"Oh, if I had known, I would have gone to propose to Mrs. Laureys!"

"Bah! Go find a mirror, do you think that if you propose marriage, they will agree to you? Don't look at what you look like, whether you have the charming beauty of Earl Louis!"

Statements like these are everywhere.

Gradually, even the common people at the bottom must know that there is such a thing.

And because Mrs. Laureys is actually very notorious.

Partly because she did it herself;

Another part of the reason is that others maliciously slandered her for some reasons of court struggle.

But in any case, the fact that she was the king's mistress was well known and absolutely true.

Therefore, after Madam Helena heard the news, she was very worried about Jamie for a while.

But this kind of matter between men and women is not easy to ask directly.

In the end, she hesitated before asking tactfully: "Do you like that Mrs. Laureys? I heard that she doesn't seem to have a very good temper."

"You can get rid of it, the woman's vanity, affectation, and selfishness can drive people crazy." Jamie commented unceremoniously.

Mrs. Helena then asked inexplicably: "Well, but you are going to marry her soon!"

Jamie replied without hesitation: "Actually, it may not be true. If it is not, everyone is happy; if it is true, it is likely to be separated in two places, each living in its own way. Because, she You are a king in your heart and mind, so you will not be willing to pay attention to me."

"But... this sounds like it doesn't have the warmth and happiness of a family at all!"

"That kind of thing is not expected at all."

"Can't this engagement be refused?"

"Oh, by the king's order."

Lady Helena fell silent.

But she was a little sad for the other party because of this, so she lowered her head, looked at the book in her hand, and didn't turn a page for a long time. After a while, she sighed softly and said, "Louis, tell me, is there something wrong with this world?" What about it? It’s okay for common people’s lives to be difficult,! How come you nobles’ lives are also difficult in another way?”

Jamie really wanted to say that feudal society is so disgusting.

But in the end, he paused, swallowed back many words that were too rebellious, and only said in a mocking tone: "Madam, just watch! This world is going to get worse and worse."

Mrs. Helena didn't care about his tone, she just raised her head, stared at him seriously, and asked meaningfully: "No matter how messy it is, I just hope that everyone around me is safe, well, do you agree?" ?"

To be stared at so earnestly...

Jamie could only answer with a smile: "Of course I agree."

Madam Helena looked at him for a long while before letting go of the matter completely, lowering her head again, and looking at the book in her hand.

But because of such an incident, when he said goodbye to her and took the opportunity to run to see Macomb, Jamie felt something was wrong in his heart for no reason.

It was because Mrs. Helena looked at him with worried eyes at the end, as if he was not going to get married, but was going to step on a fire pit.

Although this marriage may not be happy...

But it shouldn't be able to reach this level, right?

"Could it be that she guessed that I was going to do something dangerous?"

Jamie couldn't help secretly having such an idea.

Since he was calculating and calculating all day long, he couldn't help being a little paranoid about it.

But then I thought again: "Even if Madam guesses something, it's okay."

Then, he relaxed and thought about his recent actions: "Speaking of which, I ran to her here every three days, but every time I couldn't say a few words, I would leave to find Macomb. Although it was not intentional , but Madam did act as a shield for Macomb and me several times..."

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little annoyed: "After such a long time, it's not unusual for Madam to find out. It's just...just using her like this, although it wasn't intentional...but I still can't help her!"

He felt very guilty.

But considering the big things to be busy next, he soon couldn't take care of it.

There's nothing wrong with Macomb's side.

As far as he was concerned, Jamie had already taken over the most difficult job - killing Lord Dressel.

And Jamie's initial plan was to simply and roughly stun people.

Then, lie about death.

This matter is difficult for outsiders.

But for him, it was much easier.

Just because he is the nominal son of Lord Dressel.

He was supposed to be half the owner of the Dressel family.

So, as long as Master Dressel falls...

Get rid of Mrs. Dressel and Susanna first. These two are not strong and shrewd women. When encountering emergencies, it is definitely not a problem to fool them in a short time;

As for the servants in the rest of the mansion, that would be a better solution.

As long as he speaks like a master and gives orders like an order, he can easily fool them.

At that time, he announced to the outside world that Master Dressel was dead.

For at least an hour or two, this lie will not be exposed.

In addition, there are other details and aftermath issues...

For the former, it depends on adapting to the situation; for the latter, Jamie also has a set of arguments in his mind that can shirk responsibility.

next thing...

Then it's up to Macomb and the others.

Those things, although there are great dangers.

But to Macomb and the others, it was considered a relatively routine danger.

In addition to making a deal with Earl Safir, it is like dealing with the police and army that may come from Judian, or even those who may see through their rebel identities, and then come to round them up...

In fact, there is no need to worry too much!

Just because he was chased by the police and army for many years.

All the rebels are used to this.

However, Jamie still gave some suggestions: "Since you have a stronghold and manpower in Wangcheng, don't hide it now. Take the opportunity to create some chaos later, and it will be convenient to cover your escape after the matter is over."

Macomb knew he meant well, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

It didn't take many people to connect with Earl Safire before. On the contrary, if there were too many people, it would be easy to reveal their whereabouts, so he didn't contact those people.

Now, it's time to get down to business.

He's not stupid, so he had to recruit some more people to prevent any mistakes in the middle.

Then, the two discussed some details.

After confirming that there is absolutely nothing to say, and then only need to watch the live performance, Jamie said goodbye and left.

However, on the other side, another accident happened.

Because Earl Safire came to see the king.

"You came to see me so late, what's the matter?"

King Richard yawned lazily, apparently implying to the other party that he had no interest in talking about business at the moment.

"His Majesty."

Earl Saffir still had his usual stern expression, and he reported earnestly, "I'm here to ask you, please don't attend the wedding of Earl Louise tomorrow."

King Richard suddenly stopped pretending to yawn and pretended to be sleepy.

He asked curiously and perplexedly: "Oh, how do you say this? He offended you."

Earl Safire immediately replied: "That's not true, just because if you go to the wedding, you may encounter danger in the middle."

"Dangerous?" King Richard chewed the word.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his tone became a little more serious as he asked, "So, what danger am I in?"

"I'm not sure, but it's very likely."

"Oh? It's a bit vague to say that! Why don't you tell me, where does this danger come from?"

Earl Safire made a hesitant expression.

But the next moment, he replied without hesitation: "From Duke Henry."

"Henry? It's quite possible."

King Richard said to himself: "I almost forgot to settle the account with him about the queen's child, but I didn't expect him to come to my door."

Earl Safire remained silent, maintaining a standard posture of accepting inquiries from the king at any time.

But King Richard was meditating on his own, as if he didn't see him.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, King Richard came back to his senses, leaned back on the back of the armchair, looked at the Earl in front of him with a cold and playful expression, and said with a sarcasm: "You This news is really important, if I, poor king, hadn't been informed by you, I would have almost fallen into a trap!"

"Just, my dear Count, would you do me the honor of telling me..."

"Such an important secret, where did you find out about it?"

"I think……"

"No matter how stupid Henry is, he wouldn't go around and tell irrelevant people about this kind of thing, right?"

Earl Safire replied: "Return to Your Majesty, because the Duke has lived with me recently."

After hearing this rather unexpected reply, the king's eyes became sharper.

(two)

At this moment, Jamie has not realized that on the stage he designed, there will be an uninvited guest who was not in the plan—Duke Henry.

And, due to the influence of this unexpected guest...

Another important actor, Earl Saffir, is frantically adding scenes to himself.

So, when Jamie went to bed that night, he was still in a peaceful mood.

When he woke up, he lazily lay down on the bed for a while, feeling a little excited in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking of the early years, every time he encountered something, he was afraid, nervous and panicked, his forehead was sweating, Can't help but sigh with wry smile: "I'm getting more and more used to this kind of life now."

Compared with the groom who puts so much thought into it all day long and has to reflect on it from time to time...

The other wedding participant, the bride, was much less heartless.

Mrs Laureys was up early in the morning to dress and dress.

Although she didn't look forward to this marriage, she even wavered on the verge of regretting the marriage all the time.

But being able to paint beautiful makeup and put on a beautiful wedding dress is a temptation that she will never be able to resist.

Moreover, she couldn't help but still have such an obsessive thought in her heart: "If I can dress up to attract people's attention and be extremely glamorous... Maybe your majesty will notice me and watch me marry another man with great regret!"

Because of this thought, she dressed up more and more carefully.

Thinking that if everyone could pay attention to him, he would want to be naked!

But obviously, that would be too shocking and unacceptable to the world.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up and continue to decorate himself, vowing to show the king his best appearance.

For this reason, she tried her best to shrink her stomach, and asked the maid to come over and help her pull the belt around her waist, trying to make her waist thinner, and then ordered repeatedly: "Tighten it, tighten it, push hard, you haven't eaten. ?"

But the maid didn't dare to do it.

Just because of the pregnancy, although the lady can't see any changes on the surface, but in fact, her waistline is already a little thicker, no matter how tight it is, it can't be like when she was not pregnant, but it may hurt her waist. child.

Mrs. Laureys' face suddenly pulled down.

She was almost on the verge of tears, and stomped into a tantrum: "Oh, the belly, the damned, nasty belly! I'm going to be like a puffed-up toad soon! How ugly it will be then!"

The maids around rushed over to comfort her and flattered her that even if she was pregnant, she was still the most beautiful woman in the whole country.

Moreover, another confidant maid gently reminded that this is the king's child after all, in fact, there is no need to completely cover it up, just a little bit of it can be seen, maybe it will arouse the fatherly love of His Majesty the king.

However, when the children are gone...

The so-called fatherly love will definitely not appear.

But this remark gave Mrs. Laureys a lot of comfort.

She finally gave up on wearing such a tight waist, and turned to study what jewelry to wear as soon as possible.

It's time for the wedding to start.

The Dressel house is full of guests again.

However, everyone knows that Master Dressel is very disciplined, and it is probably no fun to visit his house as a guest.

But out of wanting to see the wonderful scene of 'The Collision of Mrs. Laureys and Lord Dressel'!

Everyone who has been invited.

No one was absent, and all of them came to the wedding actively.

Regrettably……

Dressel-sama kept a straight face the whole time, and didn't intend to make people see any jokes.

Jamie was dressed up and stood at the door with a smile to welcome the guests.

Now, there is no trace of his origin as a peasant in the countryside at all. The gown on his upper body is embroidered with gold patterns, and the trousers are also made of excellent satin. In addition, regardless of his words, deeds, or demeanor, he is like a noble and beautiful young man who was born to be pampered and raised.

Moreover, because he is not the kind of dandy addicted to drinking and sex, he has great ideas deep in his heart, and he refuses to be manipulated at will, so there is a faint sense of stubbornness on his face that is not willing to compromise easily. It's easy to say, when he didn't smile, he seemed a little indifferent, but that indifference, because of his appearance, was also very touching.

Therefore, many people entered the door, but still lingered at the door, looking back at him from time to time.

There is also a dissolute lady like Mrs. Lauris, who covered half of her face with a fan, and whispered to her friends: "My God! No wonder Mrs. Lauris is willing to marry him, this person is too handsome I'm really envious, if he looks for a lover later, I'll be willing to come if he sticks to it."

The friend next to him also nodded repeatedly, and even cast a few winks over.

Unfortunately, Jamie's full attention is now on two men-Macomb and Judian.

Malcolm assumed the name of a nobleman and managed to sneak in.

Since Jamie only knew him, he didn't know if there were any members of the Rebels who came in under the same name as him.

And not far from Macomb...

Judian also came with a few people.

He didn't rush to catch people immediately.

He should be waiting for the scene of 'Lord Dressel funding the rebel Macomb' in his imagination to appear.

So far, the plan is fine.

Jamie was afraid of watching too long and being noticed.

After only a brief sweep, and after remembering the situation in front of him, he turned around and continued to greet other guests.

After a while,

Mrs. Laureys, dressed properly, came out at last.

Sure enough, it can be called glamorous.

There is only one pity...

Her beauty is too adult, too glamorous, and when standing next to Jamie, she looks a little old for no reason.

The latter has a tall and straight figure, which is the best period of youth and moving;

The former seems to be a bright red fruit that ripens early, poke the skin with your fingertips, and the sweet juice will flow all over your hands...

The style of the two is very different.

When His Majesty the King arrives, it is not good to say good match again against the conscience.

Fortunately, their attention is not on each other.

Mrs. Laureys is only interested in looking at His Majesty the King, hoping to get a little favor from His Majesty;

His Majesty the King was naturally not in the mood to love because of Earl Safire's informant last night. He ignored the beauty and only cared about Duke Henry's treason for a while;

As for Jamie...

He was planning to pick the right time, find an excuse, and pull Lord Dressel away, thereby creating a suspended animation so that Macomb and the others could reach a deal with Earl Safir.

However, he has not waited for him to find this opportunity.

His Majesty King Richard suddenly invited: "Master Dressel, can you accompany me for a walk?"

Master Dressel will naturally not refuse.

He saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, King Richard looked back again, and called gently: "Safiel, Safiel, come here too."

So, Earl Safir, who had been hiding behind and had no sense of presence, also came out, and replied blankly: "Yes."

Jamie was dumbfounded, but there was nothing he could do.

He watched helplessly as the 'task target' and the 'sponsor' stood on either side of the king, and then the three of them walked towards the study together.

The person who was equally displeased with him was Mrs. Laureys, who worked so hard to dress up, but failed to get the king's favor.

She also looked at King Richard's back helplessly, cursed Lord Dressel and Earl Safir together in her heart, and at the same time cursed without any scruples: "Ah, these two What a nuisance! I really hate people!"

Jamie ignored her.

At this time, although he felt that things had changed slightly, he believed that it was still under control.

Because, His Majesty the King invited two people to talk.

But this kind of unimportant temporary meeting can be said to be five points, ten points, twenty points at the top, and it is probably time to break up.

At that time, it is not too late to continue to complete the plan.

What I didn't expect was...

After King Richard called Lord Dressel and Earl Saffir away.

Jamie waits and sees no one, waits and sees no one.

I was so upset by waiting, but I didn't see the three of them back!
