Chapter 1524 74. Harvest Festival Celebration

Ying Li took my arm and walked down the stairs slowly.

The senior tailor of the royal family is highly skilled. During the time I was washing, he modified and cut the luxurious dress with silver ornaments very appropriately.

Under the light makeup, I found that Ying Li's face actually had the shadow of Princess Ariel, maybe because the appearance of the mermaid princess itself belonged to Ying Li, and the transfer at the funeral of Princess Ariel After the ceremony, Yingli's appearance has begun to slowly change. Her eyes are like the deep night sky, her lips are slightly raised like roses, and she is wearing a snow-white court dress. It is rare to see her showing such a confident look.

Helena and Becky followed Ying Li and raised the long skirt for her, followed by two rows of maids.

As my personal maid, Yingli prepared for Katerina a low-cut dress similar to that of Helena and Becky. She took off the Yalong light leather armor that never leaves her body easily, but I'm sure that The two daggers were still tied to her thighs, and she followed behind me. The long red hair and fair skin were in stark contrast, and the charm of a mature woman was vividly reflected in her body.

It was the first time I participated in the Angel Boulder royal family's event. Ying Li was very excited, and he kept telling me interesting stories about participating in the Harvest Festival celebration when I was a child.

The Harvest Festival in El City also has a celebration ceremony. For all northerners, the arrival of the Harvest Festival means that the winter storage has entered the countdown stage. As a guarantee, during the Harvest Festival, a lot of newly brewed golden cider in El City began to be loaded into the wine cellar.

People in the north do not have a strong sense of ritual. There is no parade in the Harvest Festival in El City. People are busy with the sumptuous dinner from the morning. After the afternoon, the families hosting the Harvest Festival dinner begin to welcome the guests. Surrounded by various delicacies, drink, chat and dance.People in the northern region love to drink, and they can drink from day to night, and from night to the next morning. As long as the fire in the fireplace is not extinguished, everyone can sit around the sofa by the fireplace all night.

Compared with the people in the northern border, the people in the imperial capital paid more attention to the harvest festival celebrations, and the celebrations in the imperial capital were also much grander.

Participating in the celebration as a member of the Angel Boulder royal family shows that the royal family recognizes my identity. Ying Li held my arm all the way, and his steps seemed much lighter.

On the way, I met Le Die who came down from the other side of the stairs. Le Die was wearing a light pink knee-length skirt and a pair of crystal sandals on her feet. Her elven blood made her legs slender and slender, as smooth as ivory. Her skin is dazzlingly white. She has long golden hair, which is now pulled up high, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. The high heels of the crystal shoes are a bit exaggerated. Standing on the right side of Ying Li, she looks tall.

"Good morning, sister, good morning, Jijia." Le Die greeted Yingli and me, then walked to Yingli's right side and took her arm, and went downstairs with us.

Ying Li turned his head to look at Le Die's elf-style attire, and asked her with a smile: "Le Die, you are so bold, you won't be afraid of the Queen's scolding if you wear this short skirt later?"

Le Die curled her lips, looking very playful, her fair forehead was dotted with an emerald gem, this emerald was tied on a very thin gold chain, all her long golden hair was combed back, This highlights her incomparably delicate face even more. She is beautiful and noble with an elf hybrid, and she wears a gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wings, which makes people dare not look directly at her.

"I'll hide behind you later, so many members of the royal family want to show themselves in front of her, how can she bother to see what I wear." Le Die blinked at Ying Li and said.

"hope so."

Ying Li didn't say anything more.

I think I should say something to Le Die at this time, looking for something to talk about so that the atmosphere between us will not be so tense, I greeted Le Die through Ying Li's probe: "Hi, Le Die, this The dress is beautiful."

Le Die glanced at me, raised her eyebrows lightly, and said to me: "Even if you can talk, I heard that you opened a rune board workshop, and the business is very good?"

Her voice is very nice, and although her facial features still vaguely reflect the shadow of when we first met in Sloit City, her character has matured a lot in recent years. Although she is still so unruly and willful at times, at least she is not always that way. It seems normal now, and I'm a little relieved from the bottom of my heart.

I said to Le Die: "It's okay, there are many people with spare money in the imperial capital, and business is easy."

Le Die glanced at me with a half-smile, then looked ahead, but said in his mouth: "I heard that you are going to make those junior inscription masters in the imperial capital almost starved of food, and many junior inscription masters have gone to the magic union. I complained to you, but the Magic Union did not know why they suppressed all these complaints."

We walked along the spiral staircase to the first floor, and passed a gorgeous corridor, on which were hung some oil paintings depicting the scenery of Haiyinsi City. On those oil paintings, I saw the majestic Icon Square.

Ying Li didn't seem to intend to get involved in the conversation between me and Le Die. She held my arm in one hand and Le Die in the other, and walked straight ahead between the two of us. So familiar with her, she could even step on the same pattern of the velvet carpet with every step.

Although I know that the junior inscription masters in the imperial capital are very dissatisfied with me, I don't know that they actually went to the magic union to complain about me, but the magic union did not respond. This may be the best response for me .

I said nonchalantly: "We compete fairly, well, you can't judge that I'm doing something wrong just because my magic rune board is sold at a lower price."

In fact, in the primary magic rune board market, I only occupy the market of a few kinds of magic rune boards. For those junior inscribers, just avoid the 'focus', 'miniature tornado', and 'continuous frost' The price of the primary magic rune plates of 'Twilight Illumination' and 'Lava Surge', and other rune plates in the magic market is still very stable.

While talking, our group came to a gorgeous restaurant. There was only a long iron-wood dining table in the room. There was no decoration on the whole dining table. There are square tablecloths on the dining table, with gilt porcelain plates and silver tableware on the table, various forms of bread are placed in the middle of the table, and the whole room is filled with the buttery aroma of bread. Hemaixiang, the round crystal tray is full of various fruits, many of which I can't name.

I didn’t need to think about where to sit. The butler had already walked in front of us and helped us to pull out the chairs. We sat down around the dining table. There were only two vacant seats at the main table, which seemed to be reserved for Prince James. and Mrs. Manda's.

Yingli and I are next to each other, Ledie is sitting opposite me, she seems to be very interested in the topic of magic rune board, she thought for a while and said to me:

"I heard that the Babington family is also entering the primary magic rune tablet market. This time, the imperial capital intends to pull His Royal Highness Charlie out of the quagmire of the plane war. The Babington family is also one of the beneficiaries. Ann If the war on the Qiradun plane ends early, the Babington family may reorganize the rune tablet market of the Grimm Empire."

"I guess at least until winter." I said calmly.

This is what Marvin and I discussed the day before yesterday. Mullen thinks that even if the war on the Ahn'Qiradian plane can end within a month, the Babington family wants to completely deal with the mess on the Ahn'Qiradian plane after the war. , at least until winter.

"It seems that you don't worry about this at all?" Le Die asked me curiously seeing my calm expression.

I nodded slightly and said, "I'm really not too worried about this. The cost of the magic rune plates produced by the rune workshop is much lower than what they estimated. Compared with these, I am more worried about the winter in the Northern Province this year. Last year The Legion of the North Wind drove all the barbarians to the north bank of the Galloping Horse, and they will surely come back again this year."

At this time, Prince James and Mrs. Manda appeared at the door of the restaurant, and we all stood up quickly from our chairs.

Prince James is wearing an exquisite military uniform. As the supreme commander of the South Wind Legion, his military uniform is hung with three Medals of Courage, Medal of Peacemaker, and Royal Golden Cross, which symbolize the highest honor of the Grimm Empire. Taken alone, it can tell a story about Prince James when he was young.

Prince James seems to have trimmed his beard and looked younger, and he saw us chatting happily in the dining room, with a soft light in his eyes.

"It seems that you have a good chat." He sat down at the head of the table and invited us to sit down too.

Le Die said to Prince James enthusiastically: "We are discussing that the Babington family boarded Charlie's airship this time, and they finally struggled out of the quagmire of the war between the planes. The Qilador plane has returned to the imperial capital."

Prince James saw us discussing this matter, thought for a while, and then said to us:
"Well, this reinforcement to the Ahn'Qiradian plane is not a good thing for the Babington family, but it won't be too bad either."

Mrs. Manda was sitting on the lower head of Prince James. She was wearing a court dress similar to Yingli's style. The skirt at the back looked more exaggerated than Yingli's skirt. When I directed the maids to serve us exquisite meals, I realized that the food on the plates in the middle of the table was almost just for decoration, and the real food had not yet been served.

Mrs. Manda chose to eat three unknown fruits the size of eggs for breakfast.

Prince James is a large piece of bloodshot steak of a medium-rare earth storm bear. Watching him use a knife to easily cut open the one-inch-thick steak, which is almost completely raw, and coated with a After a bit of sauce, he could almost swallow a fist-sized piece of meat in one bite. Prince James ate very fast, holding two table knives in both hands, and kept cutting the steaks on the plate. He didn't seem to like to use a fork, and his habit of wolfing down meals was probably developed on the battlefield.

Ying Li and Le Die have long been accustomed to this. Le Die eats the same breakfast as Mrs. Manda, except for a few pieces of fruit, there is also a piece of bread stuffed with red bean paste.

And Yingli chose the same fried antelope ribs as me. I think she probably took care of me, so she ordered the same food as me.

"Housekeeper, where is the Harvest Festival parade now?"

After eating the three fruits on the plate, Mrs. Manda raised her head and asked the housekeeper.

The butler turned his head and glanced at the waiter standing at the door, and then immediately replied: "Currently, the parade has arrived at the lakeside avenue and is rushing towards the manor. It is estimated that it will pass the gate of the manor in about half an hour."

"Honey, we have to start preparing..."

Lady Manda to Prince James.

Hearing Mrs. Manda say this, I hastened to eat quickly.

Until the end of the meal, I didn't understand why I fell behind without knowing it.

……

In the Harvest Festival celebration, all the princes and nobles in the imperial capital need to participate in this grand celebration ceremony. When the parade team passes by the gate of the duke's manor, there will be some gorgeous carriages and honor guards joining in, making this parade team The scale slowly grew, and the entire lakeside avenue was crowded with people.

There are more than a dozen big five-masted ships moored on the surface of Weiyang Lake. The five-story high-rise ships are like magnificent castles. The salute, the roar of gunfire quickly ignited the atmosphere of the celebration.

Sitting in the gorgeous gold-encrusted carriage, I stared at the four silver flying horses in front of the carriage, wondering if riding in the sky on horseback would be more attractive than the magic tame handle.

Ying Li probably guessed my thoughts, covered my eyes with her white hands, and said to me with a smile: "Don't think about it, only elf girls with the purest hearts can form partners with these silver Pegasus."

I opened my mouth wide and couldn't help exclaiming: "Isn't it the unicorn holy beasts of the elves that have such strict requirements? It turns out that these silver Pegasus are also the same."

Ying Li told me: "The requirements of the unicorn holy beasts are more stringent, and the elves they identify are destined to become the heirs to the throne of the elves."

Our carriage joined the parade and was at the front of the parade. After walking two kilometers ahead, we will arrive at the portal of the Floating King City. This is the restricted area of ​​the Angibald royal family. Usually, it is almost closed to the outside world. Open, only when princes and ministers go to the Floating King City to meet His Majesty Charles, they will come here in a carriage. The reason why the parade passed by here is that His Majesty's guard of honor is waiting in front of the teleportation circle...
