The next day, the palace held a dinner.

It is said to be a dinner party, but in fact it is just to find a name, and a group of people get together to have fun with King Richard.

Therefore, many courtiers and noble ladies attended.

It is worth mentioning that the reappearance of Mrs. Lauris surprised many people.

Just because before that, everyone didn't know that she was going to have a baby.

After not seeing anyone for several months, there were a lot of outrageous rumors about her in the palace...

A slightly reasonable rumor is: "Because she fell out of favor with the king, she felt ashamed, hid at home, and never wanted to come out to see people again."

There are also slightly unreasonable rumors: "After getting married, she has repented and repented, and has been dignified and chaste since then, guarding her husband—Duke Henry wholeheartedly."

In addition, there are the most unimaginable and imaginative rumors: "Actually, Mrs. Lauris is dead. She was poisoned secretly by Duke Henry because of her too lewd style. Now Laurie who appears in front of everyone Mrs. S, is actually a double who looks like her."

There were so many inexplicable rumors that even Mrs. Laurels herself was dumbfounded.

But no matter how many rumors there are, they will be broken when she re-enters the palace.

So, rumors don't matter.

Only how to win the favor of the king again is the first concern of this lady.

But King Richard always liked the new and hated the old.

Several months later, after he saw Mrs. Laureys again, he didn't feel the tenderness of a long-lost reunion at all. On the contrary, he seemed to have completely parted with her.From then on, he only regarded her as the wife of Duke Henry—his own sister-in-law, and even pretended to be polite and distant. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he never looked at her again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lauris couldn't help feeling angry, and felt that she was going to be burned from head to toe by that anger.

She couldn't help but glared at the king viciously for a long time before turning her head away reluctantly, trying to ease her mood before thinking of other ways.

But who knows...

Turning around, he saw Duke Henry beside him.

The Duke has never been very personable.

There was a mocking smile on his face, and he looked at her like a joke.

That smile really hurt her heart.

Mrs. Laureys gritted her teeth to death, and her face was as white as paper.She could no longer stand such a bad attitude from others, so she secretly decided that if it really couldn't work, she would use a method that she didn't want to use.

Duke Henry is purely 'taking money to do things' and has no affection for her at all. Therefore, he is only responsible for taking her into the palace, but he doesn't want to be with her all night.

So, after watching this joke, he ruthlessly abandoned his nominal wife and left on his own.

Mrs. Laureys stood there alone, feeling as helpless, anxious and worried as those little girls attending a banquet for the first time.

On the other side, King Richard didn't think so much.

As far as he is concerned, Mrs. Lauris has long been a thing of the past, and now, his attention is all on Kuna.

Kuna is young, beautiful and healthy. Although her status is low, she never feels sorry for herself. She has an innocent and happy temperament. Even if she is ignorant, she is so cute and silly that when she is with her, she will laugh without knowing it. come out.

Not to mention that King Richard liked her.

Even Queen Alisa treated her well, telling her maids privately, "It's still a child."

But there is one thing about Kuna that can be criticized.

It's just because she likes to pester Jamie so much, and she doesn't hide it so much that everyone knows that she likes him.

This is obviously not the behavior that a well-behaved woman should have.

Therefore, everyone felt that she was more dissolute than Mrs. Laureys at the beginning.After all, after Mrs. Lauris became the king's mistress, no matter how she acted in private, she was the king's only one on the surface.

As for Jamie...

He really didn't want to be involved in this kind of emotional entanglement, so he hid when he saw Kuna, as if he was hiding from some scourge.

Kuna was devastated.

Fortunately, there were also a bunch of courtesans around her, and they all took the opportunity to surround her to comfort and flatter her.

King Richard watched from the sidelines with a smile, not very angry, but showed a little intention of watching a show.

He also jokingly said to Jamie: "You incomprehensible fool, you still hide when a beauty is chasing you?"

This scene is really strange.

Everyone inevitably talked about it.

Someone said: "Looking at some things a while ago, His Majesty clearly hated Lord Dressel, but why is he still so tolerant and fond of Little Dressel? He even forgave his lover who openly showed his favor to him. "

"Maybe it's because Little Dressel is so good-looking?"

"Looking good is certainly one reason, but I always feel that His Majesty is so... well, how can I describe it? He treats him like his own son. It shouldn't just be because of his good looks, right?"

"Indeed, Duke Henry and His Majesty are brothers, but His Majesty seems to treat His Majesty the same way..."

At this time, someone nearby heard a few words indistinctly. Because he didn't hear them very clearly, he only heard the last sentence, and hurriedly asked: "What son? Where did your majesty get a son? Is the queen pregnant? Or Which mistress..."

"Oh, no, I was talking about Little Dressel."

The person who spoke just now hurriedly explained: "It is said that His Majesty loves him very much and treats him almost like his own son..."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Several people chattered about this matter, because they were too involved in the chat, they didn't notice that a person mentioned in their conversation——Duke Henry, walked nearby at some point, and stood not far from them Here, listen with relish!

"Little Dressel? Did Richard treat him well?"

Duke Henry thought suspiciously, and subconsciously raised his eyes to search the field.

Coincidentally……

King Richard was really standing and chatting with that little Dressel at the moment.

The two were very close, as if they were very intimate.

Especially when it comes later...

King Richard actually came close to the other party's ear and said something with a smile. Then, that little Dressel's face turned red little by little, and finally, even the tips of his ears turned red, matching that very It was an eye-catching handsome face, and the atmosphere seemed a little ambiguous for no reason.

Seeing this, Duke Henry couldn't help touching his chin.

He thought with a strange expression: "Could it be... my brother Wang is really masculine?"

However, the truth of the matter is...

King Richard approached Jamie and said casually: "I'm a little tired of reading that "The Scary Thief". If you have any new stories, you might as well write a few more as soon as possible."

Jamie didn't want to write it, and there was no inspiration in shirking.

The king was very considerate: "You only find one mistress, and run away when you see a beautiful woman. No wonder you have so little experience. But don't worry, I will tell you some interesting things. Listen, listen, maybe you will be inspired It's..."

Jamie Pain Mask.

Just because he knew that His Majesty the King probably wanted to make a custom private letter.

However, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, King Richard approached happily, and said in a low voice, "Did you see the woman in the black dress by the window? Let me tell you, that is a She is the most pretentious whore, but she is actually playing crazy. About a week ago, she got involved with the gardener at home, and the two of them didn't even enter the house, only in the garden, where the roses..."

Jamie was very embarrassed when he heard it, blushing and fidgeting.

King Richard, however, finished the slightly colorful gossip very naturally, with a mischievous gleam in his eyes, but he asked solemnly, "How is it? Have you got any inspiration?" ? If not, I still have a lot of stories here."

"Yes! Yes! Needless to say."

Jamie really didn't want to hear it, so he hastily stopped it.

King Richard smiled and immediately reached out to him: "Then I'll be waiting for your new play."

Jamie suspected for a moment that he had fallen into a trap, but there was nothing he could do for a while, so he reached out and shook his hand to show his agreement.

So, the two separated.

Jamie turned to eat, and talked to someone he knew.

And King Richard...

Anyway, there will never be a lack of flattery around him.

At this time, Mrs. Laurels leaned over at the right time.

She first blocked her body in front of King Richard, then stared back at the people who were about to come around, and then saluted the king in a charming and enchanting manner, and said casually: "Your Majesty , the last dessert served today, did you eat it? Let me tell you, it tasted awful."

King Richard glanced at her impatiently, and said shamelessly, "I think it tastes good, and I'm going to reward the cook."

Mrs. Laureys bit her lower lip, opened her eyes wide again, and stared at him firmly. For a moment, she almost wanted to scratch his ruthless face with hatred.

But after all she remembered that it was the king, she could only endure it through gritted teeth, pleading again with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, do you really don't want to care about me anymore? My life is suffering beyond your imagination, because of me and Your previous relationship, and because I gave birth to a child for you, Henry is very angry with me. If you really ignore me like this... I can't live with your daughter any longer. "

"It does sound unfortunate, but you are Henry's wife, and that child is also Henry's child."

King Richard softened his tone.But he said ruthlessly: "I will help you tell Henry to restrain himself. But madam, it's over between us."

Mrs. Laureys kept her gaze fixed on his face, seeing a look of boredom flashing in his eyes, drooping eyebrows, and slightly raised corners of his lips, as if mocking, she knew that no matter how much she pleaded, It's useless, this man is determined to completely dislike her.

She really didn't know what she had done to be rejected by him so far, so there was some resentment mixed with her grievances, but she couldn't think of any other way, so she finally came up with the last way: "I know what you mean, Your Majesty. But I think that many things in the world are not absolute, and some things can still be traded, are you right?"

King Richard, who was about to leave, couldn't help stopping slightly.

He raised his eyebrows, as if he thought it was amused: "Well, that's true, but the premise of the transaction is that each party has something that the other wants. But Ma'am, I really don't see what you have there is What do I want?"

"Your Majesty, it's a long story. I didn't want to do this. It was a coincidence at the beginning..."

Mrs. Laureys seemed to be a little hesitant, so she couldn't help repeating these few words.

But King Richard didn't want to be tempted, and immediately pretended to walk away: "If you have nothing really to say..."

But the next moment, he stopped!

Just because Mrs. Laureys suddenly said: "That box, the box you accidentally lost. It's here with me!"

King Richard raised his head slowly, looked straight at her and asked, word by word: "Did you steal it?"

"No, I, I just picked it up."

"Found it? But you clearly know that I've been looking for it!"

"Because...because...I was losing my temper with you at that time, and wanted to hide for a few days to watch you worry, but you got into such a big fire later, I was really scared..."

King Richard glanced at her again, and this time, there was clear hatred in his eyes.

Then, he asked softly, as if in a whisper: "Then what are you going to use...to ask me for something, ma'am?"
