Good-looking, not allowed to farm

It was almost dusk, and there was a slight fragrance of roses and grass in the gentle night wind.

King Richard was lazily leaning against a window near the garden. While looking out casually, he stretched out his feet to tease two puppies on the ground, watching them with great interest as they fluttered left and right, as if they were not He was not disturbed by the previous bad things, and he looked very calm.

Seeing this, Jamie felt a little at ease.

He walked over, saluted politely, and said hello politely.

The king turned his head when he heard the sound, and replied very gently: "Good evening, Louis."

Then, he seemed to ponder for a few seconds, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said slightly apologetic: "I'm afraid I have some unfortunate news to tell you."

Jamie immediately put on a look of listening carefully.

King Richard's brows were deeply frowned: "It's like this, your engagement with Mrs. Laurels is probably about to be annulled."

An almost uncontrollable smile crossed Jamie's face.

But he tried his best to suppress the smile, and only pretended to be confused and asked: "Well, Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Oh, I really don't want to care about this kind of thing."

King Richard sighed for a long time, and as if he couldn't help it, he complained fiercely: "You are the person involved, and you know the farce that the woman and Henry made. But if I Said, these two are pure nonsense! I can't see any love between them. But just now, that stupid woman Lauris came to me and said that she only wanted to marry Henry... Oh, Henry The damned Henry didn’t know what tricks he had with her, this woman must have lost her head.”

Jamie didn't know how to answer for a while, because the people involved in these words, whether it was the king's half-brother Henry, or the king's mistress, Mrs. Lauris, were not the people he should use to judge.

Therefore, he thought for a while and said cautiously: "Beautiful ladies always have the right to be willful and picky. Although I was a little disappointed and sad when I heard this, if Mrs. Lauris and Duke Henry really love each other , I am willing to take a step back and fulfill them."

"True love?" King Richard chewed on the words.

Then, there was a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Do you really think they are in love?"

Jamie was silent.

King Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a sneer: "Or, do you really think that Duke Henry led people into Dressel's mansion just to snatch a marriage?"

This is even more difficult to answer, and even the ministers of the DPRK and China cannot make a conclusion on this matter.

Jamie had no choice but to continue to pretend to be dazed.

King Richard sneered, but said without hesitation: "Listen to me, Henry is a first-class ambitious man, but he doesn't have the ability to match his own ambition. He has done so many things. Something wrong, so that I have pigtails all over my body, I know it all. But if you really want to deal with him strictly, there are enough reasons at any time."

"However, so what if I want his head? There are no other ambitious people without him? I can't even see it! So, some heads are kept in some On the contrary, it is a good thing, and it may be useful again at some point. But even so, I don't intend to continue to reuse him during this period of time. "

This time Jamie really wasn't pretending, but didn't understand at all.

He didn't understand why the king had said such almost truthful words to himself, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

But King Richard still said to himself: "Let me tell you straight, Mrs. Lauris despises your background and your title now. But I don't know, what she is looking for now... anyway, I will never let Henry have any more real power now."

When Jamie heard this, he hesitated and flattered: "Your Majesty is wise."

Richard finally laughed, stretched out an arm, pulled him in front of him affectionately, looked at him with a smile, and suddenly said from the bottom of his heart: "Although you are young, you are actually a young man." My lord, it's time to practice hard. After a while, Henry handed over his job, but I can find you a good job, and in the future..."

At this point, he stopped, looked at Jamie with his eyes, and deliberately made a smirk on his face, and said in a mischievous and excited tone: "In the future, you will finish the errand. I I will definitely make you a duke like Henry. At that time, you will be no worse than Henry, let's go and see how Mrs. Lauris regrets it."

Jamie looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

In the end, he confessed with a bit of shame: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so considerate of me. But to tell you the truth, I don't really like Mrs. Lauris that much. I agreed to the marriage contract just out of Respect for you...you treat me so well, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do."

"But I really didn't like that lady very much. After learning that she finally chose Duke Henry, I was really relieved. Therefore, there is no need for His Majesty to compensate me for this. I don't It is worthy of your great love..."

King Richard stared at him for a long time, then slowly smiled, and said slowly: "If you are so honest, you are already worthy of my kindness to you."

Then, he grinned and patted Jamie on the shoulder affectionately, as if he valued and appreciated him very much.

Jamie smiled, put on a shy look of embarrassment again, and lowered his head.

But when he got out of the palace, the smile on his face disappeared completely: "Damn! It's only a little bit away, and I'd be moved, if it wasn't for..."

If it hadn't been for the thought that the unlucky Mrs. Lauris was forced by the king!

At the beginning, he was telling the truth, as if he trusted himself; later, he stimulated himself with Mrs. Laurie's dislike;

After such an operation, how can people not have the illusion of being valued?

Jamie sighed silently in his heart, and then he couldn't help but think of the wonderful scene of 'everyone colluded with the rebels' before.

Even if he didn't think he was stupid, now his brain has a feeling that it's not enough: "I'm afraid these people are not thinking about how to plot people all day long? They pretend to be like this all day long. Are you not tired?"

Obviously not tired.

A few days after this, Duke Henry was released.

But because of his rude behavior of "snatching a marriage" before, King Richard dismissed him from all his duties with confidence. Although he reluctantly presided over his wedding with Mrs. Laurie, he never recruited him after that. Accompanied by the driver, even at the meeting at the banquet, they no longer have any intimate actions with him.

Mrs. Laureys was inevitably involved, and was no longer called to the palace.

Those former enemies of hers often used this opportunity to gossip and sneer behind her back.

Duke Henry did not stand by her either.

The duke doesn't seem to care much about the current situation, he just wants to have fun.

I don't know if he is deliberately acting like a dandy to show the king?

Or is it purely because I have been too aggrieved a few days ago, and now I am finally liberated, so I want to indulge?

Mrs. Laureys was greatly relieved by this.

But in private, she tried her best to comfort herself, thinking that these setbacks were short-lived, as long as she waited patiently, maybe one day, the child in her belly would sit on the throne.

And after Duke Henry was resigned...

The authority he once held was naturally divided up by the king.

It is worth mentioning that these people who divided up the power in the hands of Duke Henry include both new nobles and old nobles, and a few of them were born in the down-and-out minor nobles.

On the one hand, these people held on to the hard-won power in their hands, preventing Duke Henry from making a comeback;

On the one hand, because of their different backgrounds and political opinions, they have to intrigue from time to time.

In this way, King Richard was satisfied.

It's just because these people, in order to keep their current status, will help him watch over Henry even without his special order, so as not to let the Duke have a chance to regain those rights;

And because they disagree with each other's political views, they can't form a group anyway, so it's more reassuring.

In addition, for Duke Safir, Lord Dressel, Judian and others...

The king either appeased, threatened, or frightened them both hard and soft, not only keeping them in an attitude of mutual hostility, but also creating an illusion that 'Your Majesty still values ​​me more'.

After Jamie watched these operations with cold eyes...

While admiring him, he also secretly realized that His Majesty the King seemed amiable, but in fact he was cold-hearted, and he was extremely unique in manipulating people's hearts and controlling balance.

It's a pity that this ingenuity is probably all used on how to monopolize power and make decisions arbitrarily.

In terms of state affairs, it is of no help.

King Richard didn't care about the country, or the people of the country.

Everything in this world is dispensable to him, as long as he can live comfortably, even if hundreds of people starve to death on the street, he will not blink an eye.

Due to this reason……

Although the king's attitude has always been very good, he did find him an excellent job as promised.

But Jamie has never been happy.

He clearly knew in his heart: "Living here, no matter how rich the material is, is like living on a thin layer of ice. Under the ice, there are vicious sharks circling and watching. If you don't want to fall off and be eaten by a group of sharks , I can only be like those people, messing around in conspiracy and scheming every day, racking my brains to climb up every day, until I am forced to lose my integrity, maybe I will follow Judian's example and go to replace the king. Pull a pimp..."

"But……"

"Is this the life you want?"

"Is this the so-called peaceful life you want?"
