Chapter 130 The Canonization Ceremony
After Meiyi decided to go to the Royal City with Qiluo and her parents-in-law, she wrote a letter to the two of them that day, agreeing to meet in the Land of Winds in two weeks, take a sea boat north to Hualing, and then go to Zhenling by land.
After Ai Qilu heard about it, she said, "Teacher, I will go back with you. I hope my father and mother will not embarrass you."
Meiyi and Qiluo looked at each other affectionately and said: "No! You have to stay in Black Crystal City. If you are with us, it will only make it more difficult for your parents. We can understand their difficulties and have no sympathy for them.
No resentment. Just relax, okay?"
Ai Qilu was silent for a while and said: "Please at least let Mei Luke accompany you back. I am in the lord's mansion in Black Crystal City, and the lord's guard can completely protect me. Moreover, no matter how selfish I am, I will not let Mei Luke stay there forever.
For me, it is best to adapt to this kind of life in advance."
Seeing Ai Qilu's dejected look, Mei Yi said, "Well, you're right. Then I'll do what you said. By the way, are you ready for the knighthood?"
As soon as Ai Qilu heard about the work, she immediately became serious and said: "Well, teacher, it has been sorted out. There are seventy-two people in the first batch who are eligible to be knighted, all of whom have made great contributions to Black Crystal City.
I think two of them are qualified to be made earls, six are made viscounts, eighteen are called barons, and forty-six are made knights.”
Meiyi said: "Well, it's up to you. No one has more say in this matter than you. Let's hold an enfeoffment ceremony in the next few days. Also, I will no longer be involved in the usual affairs of the mansion.
You will be the acting lord."
Ai Qilu knew that Meiyi was preparing to go to the real spirit. Although she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to agree. She suddenly thought of a question and said: "By the way, teacher, those who should be titled earls and
What should I do with the people who are viscounts? You don’t seem to have the power to enfeoff. Do you want to change them to baron..."
Meiyi said easily: "Just leave it alone, there is always a way."
After saying that, Meiyi and Qiluo took a boat together and went rafting in the Luoshui River. Meiyi rested her head on Qiluo's lap, feeling extremely comfortable. This time was considered the best time since he came to the other world.
Already.
For Qiluo, the same is true.
During her time in Black Crystal City, she stayed with the person she loved most all day long. She no longer had the fear and sorrow in Hualing City, nor the loss and despair when she first returned to the Land of Wind.
My heart is filled with peace and joy.
When she was at Hualing College, she majored in music and dance concurrently. She would often perform for Mei Yi.
Meiyi played the newly edited "Miss Qiluo's Whispers" (adapted from "Autumn Whispers") and "Miss Qiluo by the Waterside" (adapted from "Adilina by the Waterside"). Qiluo was moved
Besides, I felt that as a music student, I was despised by Mei Yi and I would never play music for Mei Yi again.
Qiluo often taught Meiyi to dance in the bedroom, but Meiyi's hands became unruly while dancing. Meiyi turned the beautiful and dignified classical dance into a gaudy strip dance, and Qiluo couldn't do anything about it.
No, I had to let him do what he did.
Qiluo looked at Meiyi's face and said softly: "Dear, do you miss Hua Huo, Serena, Liu Xi and the others?"
Meiyi looked at Qiluo's beautiful face and big blue eyes, and said affectionately: "The person I miss the most is right in front of me. Also, my dear wife, we have just gotten married, so why don't you give me a proposal?"
Isn’t that a little too unkind?”
Qiluo said: "I'm not sending you a proposition. I just want to ask you, if the king agrees to us being together, but asks to keep it secret. How should I tell Hanabi and the others? They all like you, and it is inhumane to continue to hide them.
Already."
Meiyi said: "I am very grateful for their help to me, and I like them very much, but it is you who I decided to spend my life together. I know it is difficult for you to talk to them about this kind of thing, so I will ask the Duchess for help."
Qiluo touched Meiyi's face and said, "Meiyi, are you nostalgic?"
Meiyi smiled and said: "It's another proposition."
Qiluo hesitated for a long time before saying: "This world is not monogamous, not the elf world, not the goblin world, not the human world... I thought about it for a long time, and I think I can accept you..."
Meiyi stretched out her hand and pinched Qiluo's face, looked into her jewel-like eyes, and said: "Stop saying these words, otherwise I will really get angry. The human heart is big, big enough to accommodate the whole world; the human heart is also very big.
It is small, small enough to accommodate only one person. I am completely satisfied with my wife and family who love me."
Qiluo didn't speak any more, she just bent down, held Meiyi's face in her hands, and kissed her deeply, with tears flowing freely.
Meiyi touched Qiluo's face and said apologetically: "You seem to shed more tears when you are with me. I'm sorry. If you have any thoughts in the future, please tell me directly, okay? And don't think about it anymore.
Yes, you are the first girl I have fallen in love with in this world, and I am filled with joy to marry you."
Qiluo wiped away the tears on her face and said in a panic: "It's not because I'm with you that I like to cry. When I cried before, no one saw it. I won't ask these questions anymore."
* * *
The day of the canonization ceremony finally arrived.
The knights in the mansion were arrayed on both sides wearing armor and holding swords.
Among the nobles who were to be enfeoffed were officials, businessmen, teachers, priests, farmers, and craftsmen. When many people saw the knight's posture, their legs were so frightened that they almost fell down.
After everyone sat down, Lord Meiyi walked out, and everyone stood up and cheered from the bottom of their hearts.
Many of them had not seen Meiyi for a long time. The last time they saw Meiyi was during disaster relief. At that time, Meiyi visited all the counties, villages and towns affected by the disaster.
Mei Yi led a blond human girl to the stage. Just when everyone was speculating about their relationship, Mei Yi said: "Everyone, welcome to today's enfeoffment ceremony. Let me introduce this first.
This beautiful girl like a goddess, with hair like bright gold, eyes like the deep blue sea, teeth like beautiful shells, and a smile like the warm sun in winter, is my wife, her name is Qiluo."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter and whistles from below. Qiluo's face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't know where to put her hands.
Yiwen Jielin stood on the balcony on the third floor of the main building of the lord's mansion and said to Qi Lian: "When did Meiyi become so glib?"
Qijiu said depressedly: "He is laughing at me. When we first met in the palace, he asked me if I knew who Qiluo was, and I said, 'You are talking about the one with bright hair.
A girl as beautiful as a goddess with gold, eyes like the deep blue sea, teeth like beautiful shells, and a smile like the warm sun in winter?"
Yiwen Jielin smiled and said: "So I learned it from you. Let me tell you, Meiyi is an honest kid."
In the small square downstairs, Mei Yi continued: "I have been the Lord of Black Crystal City for about seven months. A lot of things have happened during this time. Seven months is a very short period of time.
It’s quite long.”
"Generally speaking, when a great lord takes office, he will appoint a group of nobles to win over people's hearts, but I didn't care about it at all. I originally wanted to let it go, but the people in the mansion didn't agree..."
Someone below started to boo and laughed, "Of course we can't just let it go, Lord!"
Meiyi said: "Okay, let's just start reading the list. Oh my God, more than seventy people are really too long. Let me just read the first and second parts, and then the third and fourth parts.
Let Evelin read it."
Qi Yan said depressedly: "Can Mei Yi be any more lazy? I'm really worried about Qi Luo's future happiness."
Yiwen Jielin glared at him: "You are not very diligent! Qiluo is a diligent child, and this is enough."
Mei Yi read aloud: "First of all, there are two people who should be divided into earls. The first is Flynn, the military minister of the lord's mansion. After Flynn followed me from Hualing to Black Crystal City, he led the mansion's various internal counterinsurgency campaigns.
and foreign wars. As long as we lose one of these wars, it will lead to immeasurable consequences. Fortunately, we have won them all."
"We all won..." he repeated in a dreamy voice, and Flynn's heart suddenly twitched.
"Second, the Minister of Finance and Taxation Katarina. When Katarina first came to Sombra City, she worked day and night to figure out a bunch of bad debts left by Christine. Later she led Sombra City's financial and tax reform.
A bank was officially established. Without her efforts, Sombra City's industry and commerce would not be so prosperous."
…
After Meiyi and Evelin read all the lists, Qiji and Evelin were stunned: Ha? Farmers, craftsmen, businessmen, and teachers can also be named nobles? This is a bit unbelievable.
Yiwen Jielin asked: "If Meiyi wants to do this in the Land of Wind, would you be willing?"
Qiji was stunned, scratched her head and said, "Can I say I don't want to?"
Yiwen Jielin stared and said: "No!"
Qiyan almost cried, "Then what else do you ask me for?"
After Meiyi finished reciting, everyone was waiting for the exciting enfeoffment ceremony. Meilin was still a little confused and thought to herself: Meiyi, what the hell are you doing? How can you divide the earls and viscounts?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind like a flash of lightning: Could it be...
She seemed to suddenly understand why Meiyi had hardly appeared in public recently, and did not ask about any work in the mansion. She seemed to have disappeared from Sombra City.
As expected, Meiyi looked at the main building and said with a smile: "Ai Qilu is still in a mood? Qiluo, go and call her out?"
Evelin, who had just been made a Viscount, had been thinking about the same question as Mary. When she heard Mei Yi mention the words "Ai Qilu", she instantly understood what Mei Yi had been doing recently.
She suddenly felt hopeless: She originally thought that the great lord was neglecting government affairs because of the youth's passion, but it turns out that he doesn't plan to have us anymore.
When everyone saw Princess Ai Qilu, wearing a crown and having returned to her original appearance, walking out of the mansion crying and crying, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.
Chapter completed!
