Good-looking, not allowed to farm

For a moment King Richard wanted Lady Laureys to disappear.

But although this lady is a bit big-chested and brainless, she is always very sensible at critical moments.

For example, now, she is clearly daring to use the "box" to threaten the king of a country, but the benefit she asks for is only the title of "king's mistress": "I want to continue to have the right to enter and leave the palace, and I want to be like I live under the shelter of your reputation as before. Don’t worry, I will not do anything anymore. Only with your name, others dare not easily bully me. You can ignore me, but you can’t tell anyone , you have abandoned me."

After hearing such conditions, King Richard couldn't help but smile.

Because this condition is not harmful to him, and it is just tolerable.

Although it is not good for reputation to continue to have scandals with my sister-in-law.

But in fact, he himself is already notorious in terms of female sex, and it doesn't hurt to add one more.

As a result, His Majesty the King completely relaxed and resumed his usual gentle posture.

He also smiled and said: "Honey, if it's just these requests, even if you don't make any threats, I can agree to them. For the sake of the past, I won't even be busy with this little thing." I don't want to help."

However, Mrs. Laureys had seen the indifference of the other party who disliked her, and knew that these words were just polite.

But she still had to pretend that she had received the letter, and put on a grateful expression: "You are so kind and kind, Your Majesty."

King Richard accepted her thanks without shame.

Then he asked casually: "So, ma'am, what do I want?"

Mrs. Laureys hesitated a little.

She knew that once the things were handed over, from then on, she would have no bargaining chips in her hands that could be exchanged.

But it would be fine if the king didn't know about it.

As long as she knows, she will definitely not be able to hide it.

Besides, after the king lost the box, although he searched for it for a while.But within a few days, he said that he didn't need to look for it, which shows that this thing may not be that important.

Before that, out of curiosity, she secretly opened the box and looked at it. There was only a silver armband inside, which was not very precious.

Presumably, it was just a commemorative item, and it was not enough to help her get more benefits. In fact, this was one of the reasons why she didn't dare to ask too much.

All kinds of thoughts.

There was a moment of turmoil...

But in Mrs. Lauris's mind, no matter how much she thought about it, it was only a momentary matter.

She finally dared not challenge the king's patience, took out the box, and handed it over.

After King Richard got it in his hand, he opened it without hesitation.

After confirming that it was the one he had lost and the contents inside were intact, he habitually put on a smile again, whistled softly, and then neatly put the box away, and walked towards Lauris Madam waved her hand casually to show that the transaction was over, and she was about to turn around and leave immediately.

But Mrs. Lauris quickly chased after him, reached out to hold his hand, and pleaded in a low voice: "You just agreed, Your Majesty. So, please don't leave me so indifferently, let everyone see My joke!"

King Richard couldn't help turning his head to look at her for a while, probably thinking about whether to keep his promise.

But in Mrs. Laurel's uneasy and pitiful eyes...

He finally remembered the old love and decided to cooperate a little bit, so he turned around again, put his hand on her shoulder intimately, and asked playfully, "Well, what do you need me to do, madam?"

It just so happened that the band changed to a new song.

King Richard smiled, and simply extended his arm to her, posing an inviting gesture.

So, the two stepped onto the dance floor together.

Mrs. Lauris still had a small expectation in her heart, hoping that she could attract the king's heart again, and go to bed with her, and then, as in the past, after going to bed, she would wipe away all the previous indifference and anger Go, resume the previous relationship.

However, disappointingly...

As soon as the dance was over, His Majesty the King didn't intend to continue, he bowed slightly politely, then turned and left without hesitation.

Mrs. Laureys followed him for a long time, until she found that he walked over to talk to the little Dressel again, she felt a little comforted: "At least it's not to find another woman."

But anyway.

Her hard work was not in vain.

King Richard first talked with her in a low voice, and later danced with her, which was seen by everyone.

So the news that Mrs. Laureys had not fallen out of favor was spread again.

only……

At most, others admire her for "extraordinary charm, even after marrying Duke Henry, she can still continue to seduce the king's heart";

But Duke Henry shrewdly noticed that something was wrong: "Richard has always loved the new and disliked the old, and besides, that stupid bitch of Laurels foolishly chose to have a child under such circumstances (rebellion happened) Marrying me is bound to annoy him. According to his usual behavior style, it is absolutely impossible for him to have this woman again! But now..."

There must be some secret in it!

For the time being, Duke Henry doesn't know what secret it will be.

But he secretly made up his mind that he had to get the secret out of Mrs. Laureys' mouth.

When the banquet was over, the duke seemed to have forgotten his excessive behavior and bad attitude, and showed his courtesy flexibly.

At this time, the temperature has gradually turned cooler, and even a breeze blows over, which makes people shiver a little.

He took the initiative to bring a coat to help Mrs. Laureys put it on, and said in a concerned tone: "It will be warmer when we get into the carriage."

This lady still bears a grudge against him, and she didn't want to care about him.

But her personality is extremely vain, the majestic duke serving her like this, and the envious eyes when others looked at her, immediately made her proud again, so she didn't think about why the duke was so condescending, Whether she harbored evil intentions or not, she just thought it was all the benefits brought about by 'she is still the king's lover'.

As a result, the couple reconciled on the surface.

But after that... Only they themselves know how many calculations there will be.

On the other side, with the end of the banquet...

Jamie was finally able to get rid of those hypocritical entertainments and all kinds of boring and colorful topics.

There was only one incident that disturbed him.Even when he was sitting in the carriage, he couldn't help but continue to think vigilantly: "Why did the king ask about Louis' life experience so politely?"

——Louis, did Master Dressel tell you something... um, about your mother?

--What?Didn't you say it?Did your mother leave anything for you?

Facing these two problems...

Inevitably, Jamie thought of the armband with Louis' name engraved on it.

But before he can organize his words to answer...

The king changed the subject, as if the question just now was purely on a whim, and he said it casually.

as a counterfeit.

But Jamie had to pay attention to it, and secretly raised his vigilance: "The king will not bring up this matter for no reason. Among them, what is the specific reason, we must find a way to find out."

Thinking of the next time I have to rack my brains to deal with possible crises...

A deep disgust was born in Jamie's heart, and he couldn't help but think in self-doubt: "If I had not been greedy and replaced Louis's identity, would my life be easier and simpler now? Don't pretend to be the same as these things. Dealing with boring nobles, you don’t need to intrigue with others, and you don’t need to worry about any problems with your background.”

At this time, the carriage suddenly came to an emergency stop!

Then came the neighing of the horses, and the sound of the coachman angrily beginning to curse.

"What's wrong?" Jamie asked.

"Someone is blocking the way, my lord."

The coachman replied hastily, and then continued to yell: "Go away, go away! You should be damned!"

"Please, please, sir."

A begging came from outside the carriage: "Give me something to eat!"

Jamie heard the sound, opened the car door, looked out, and found that a beggar in ragged clothes blocked the front of the car, and couldn't help being silent for a few seconds.

"...Don't beat him, give him some money, and send him away."

With a quick shout, he closed the car door again, neither wanting to receive any gratitude, nor wanting to hear and see more misery.

There are too many poor people...

Even if the heart is soft and wants to help, it cannot be saved.

Jamie's heart was heavy again.

Fortunately, this sudden incident successfully solved his previous self-doubt: "Well, if I don't pretend to be Louis, I might become a beggar. Otherwise, I will be caught again and thrown away." to prison..."

"In this damn world, it is too difficult for ordinary people to live!"

While muttering, he frowned: "No...the situation doesn't seem right..."

"Madam, have there been more and more beggars on the street recently?"

"Yes, not only beggars are increasing. There are also prostitutes, thieves, and robbers...there are more and more people."

The next day, Mrs. Helena discussed this matter with Jamie worriedly: "I heard that more and more farmers chose to run away because they couldn't pay the taxes and because they were afraid of being imprisoned. Because of people farming, many fields have been abandoned. This year's harvest is not good, and no one is farming, so the food cannot be harvested... Alas, many people starved to death. Louis, I should not care about this matter, but Would you like to talk to His Majesty and ask the government to do something?"

"If His Majesty wanted to take care of it, he would have taken care of it long ago."

Jamie frowned and replied, "He didn't want to hear that."

"But if you don't want to hear this, what else do you want to hear?"

"Probably... I want to listen to something like "The Thriller."

"Louis, are you serious?"

"It's true."

Lady Helena asked sadly: "The people are starving to death, but our king only thinks about romance?"

Jamie thought for a while, then pretended to be serious and replied: "Well, maybe he will also think about it, are there any beauties among those who starved to death?"

Lady Helena could not take this ridiculous joke at all.

After glancing angrily, she ran to organize books and manuscripts.

So, Jamie stood alone by the window, quietly watching the sun that was about to set.

After a long time, he whispered to himself, "I'm afraid there will be trouble..."
