Yuan Qi was immediately elated when he received the Duchess's promise. However, just after Yuan Qi saw off Lady Ginny in the afternoon, an aide from the palace came to the Duke's mansion. The arrival of the aide put his plan of "walking" with the Duchess in the evening in vain. - The Queen's sister Sophia invites the Duchess to a party with him. "It's true that business girls don't know how to hate the country's subjugation, and they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river." After the attendant left, Yuan Qi said with a flat mouth. "I understand a little bit about this. It's probably that the country is about to be destroyed, but it is still singing and dancing, but what does the backyard flower mean?" "Madam is really smart, that's what it means. As for the backyard flower" A foreigner who has never heard of such a thing can guess the meaning accurately. Lu Zhengdong also admires the Duchess's ice-snow cleverness, but Back Court Flower is originally a brand name, but in the minds of many men, it is something else. With an idea, Lu Zhengdong looked outside the study and saw that the lady's maid was not there, so he explained the meaning of "back garden flower" to the duchess. "You are really bad" The Duchess also glanced around hurriedly, and lightly poked Yuan Qi's waist with her finger. "Men are not bad, but women are not loving" Yuan Qi smiled softly, flirting and scolding the dignified and luxurious Duchess. It was really a happy thing. However, Yuan Qi did not tell lies about the worries about the country's subjugation. Although the bloody night thwarted the rebellion plot of the rebels and Japan, Xifei did not seem to be greatly affected. On the surface, it still looked like Prosperous and prosperous. But in fact it is just as Yuan Qi said. It is indeed at the cusp of the storm. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of ruining your country and your family. Because Japan is eager to attack the Huaxing Empire, it must first cut off Xifei, Huaxing's most powerful foreign aid, so Japan will never give up like this. If a sneak attack or a plot cannot succeed, then even a forceful attack will probably be impossible. No matter what. However, many people in the kingdom are lucky and want to be neutral, so they sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. He had both sides and made a lot of war fortune. Seeing that Yuan Qi was thoughtful, the Duchess lifted her hair and resumed her cosmetic surgery, saying: "You are wrong about Sophia when you say that. Sophia is not only beautiful, but also quite talented in politics. The king is seriously ill and lacks energy. The crown prince is young, so she actually handles many government affairs. Holding such a party is not just for fun as you might think, but to gather the dignitaries of the kingdom and to discover talents among the young nobles. You don¡¯t know that every party held by Sophia is a grand event" "Oh, this woman actually has such a strong appeal?" "Sofia is the queen's sister, and her family is one of the great nobles of Xifei. , But Yi is not married now, and these young nobles all dream of becoming the husband of the beautiful Sophia. " Yuan Qi couldn't help but said: "That's it, but don't all the nobles in the kingdom have a crush on you? Where are you? Isn¡¯t this stealing your limelight? I won¡¯t go!¡± The Duchess couldn¡¯t help but smile: ¡°Why are you stealing my limelight? I am a Duchess, not a young lady¡¡± The Duchess said, her eyes A dark moment. Yuan Qi naturally knew the reason for the duchess's gloomy look. He rolled his eyes and said: "I forgot about this, but you made a small mistake, madam." The duchess was stunned and couldn't help asking: "What a small mistake. Wrong? " "It's true that you are the Madam now, but not the duchess by name, because since the night before, you have been the serious Mrs. Yuan Qi, so you are not allowed to go to the party. Ignore those pretty boys." The duchess couldn't help but twitch her skirt and said, "I understand, my husband." It was really interesting. Yuan Qi laughed. It was obvious that the duchess seemed to be in love. Like a woman, her whole person became energetic, and the melancholy hidden under her dignified face was swept away, which made Yuan Qi even more happy. The two of them cleaned up and went to the palace for the meeting. However, when they arrived at the palace, the duchess did not go to the party with him, but went to talk to the queen. Yuan Qi then went to the party place alone. Once inside, Yuan Qi found that the duchess was indeed true to her words. It was really crowded, and he saw Sophia sitting on the main seat almost at a glance. According to outside rumors It's true, this Sophia is really beautiful. At this moment, she is listening carefully to the speech of a young noble. And every time the young noble speaks, she will talk to many?Clap together. It seemed that he was encouraged by Sophia. The young noble became more and more excited as he talked. Various theories and opinions came in one after another. He talked for a long time and finally concluded with unfinished meaning: "Miss Sophia, my opinion is, I hope you will." Feifei does not need to get involved in the battle between Huaxing and Japan, but should take this opportunity to develop more shipping routes, because we are a maritime country, and the ocean is the foundation of Xifei's country. "See the young nobles showing off in front of Miss Sophia! In the limelight, many young nobles had unhappy looks on their faces, but no one stood up to object. It seemed that they could not find a reason to refute. Yuan Qi sneered in his heart and said loudly: "I think this is just your wishful thinking. If you want to wait for both sides to lose and strengthen yourself, you must have enough capital and strength. If you can't do this, it will be another ending. Xifei is extremely rich, and he does not have a very strong army. In the eyes of others, There is a big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but some countries want to eat it quickly? There is no difference between waiting for both sides to be killed. There are three reasons. One is that if China fails, Xifei will be destroyed. The King of the Philippines enslaves Xifei. 2. If Huaxing wins, Xifei's good days will come to an end. Even if Huaxing does not destroy Xifei like Japan did, it will at least impose high tariffs on Xifei as punishment. Third, before launching a war against Huaxing, capture Xifei first. This is actually the most likely, because in this way, Huaxing's largest foreign aid can be cut off, and the wealth plundered from Xifei can be used to invest in the war against Huaxing. In this war, the chance of winning is greater. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it? Gentlemen, wake up. The last bloody night was enough to explain a lot of problems. The next time the Japanese come, it will not be like this. It was a small fight like the bloody night, but the hammer of war fell on Xifei's land!" As soon as Yuan Qi said this, everyone was shocked, especially Sophia, whose eyes lit up ( To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
