Chapter 484 Negotiations are over
From the beginning, Fengqi and the others made up their mind not to enter into any negotiations with Meiyi.
Meiyi didn't care, he soon became very familiar with the future cardinals - Liu Luo, Luo Feiya, Angelia, Estrada, and the little Calliope also liked to come over.
Him, pestering him to tell stories.
Life in the temple is very hard, and there is no special treatment for the great lords. However, these kind-hearted priests often bring some delicious food to Mei Yi when they go out occasionally, which makes Mei Yi very touched.
Mei Yi thought to herself: The future cardinals have basically gathered together, and now only Ilia is still in Ice and Snow City. She said that she wants to join the priesthood, and there is a high probability that she will come to the main temple.
Luofia is still studying at Zhenling Academy. When she went to school, she told Esther that Meiyi was in the main temple. Esther also made up as a priest and secretly came in to meet Meiyi, which brought him a lot of good things.
food.
All in all, Meiyi lived a wonderful life here.
The three great lords had a hard time.
How could they sleep under the harassment of the red fox?
After three days, the three of them had collapsed.
Prince said: "How about we talk to him?"
As a result, Meiyi now refuses to talk.
Just kidding, Luo Luoqi and Liu Luo were his closest relatives before, and they had endless things to talk about every day. Who would want to negotiate terms with those people who want to die?
Behind the main temple is a large open space, including mountains, rivers, grasslands, woods, and ancient fortresses. He often takes a sword, little Calliope, and little Shaman to go on adventures, and he keeps giving
She told of the bastard deeds of Viscount Internor.
Good boy, don't be fooled by scum like Yinlaji in the future.
Although his father would most likely not be so arrogant anymore.
Another three days have passed.
After a week, these pampered lords were close to the edge of collapse.
In the end, Pope Krapeosu couldn't stand it any longer, so he pulled Mei Yi, Calliope and Shaman back from the open space, and persuaded Mei Yi to return to the negotiation table quickly.
Meiyi reluctantly delayed for two more days before sitting at the negotiating table.
At this time, Feng Qi and others were almost unconscious and were completely in hallucinations.
Under the witness of Pope Krapeosu, Meiyi and Fengqi and others signed the thick "Emilia Main Temple Peace Treaty" in just one hour after cordial and friendly negotiations.
Klapeosu then sent the peace treaty to the palace.
In the sunny garden, the king and queen looked at the peace treaty and were almost dumbfounded.
They turned their questioning attention to Pope Klapeosu.
Krapeosu said: "Don't worry, Fengqi and the others did sign voluntarily. However, they fell asleep just after signing. I don't know what happened, but they all followed the devil one by one, looking dazed and listless.
They didn’t want to talk anymore and wanted to sign the peace treaty right away. Meiyi patiently explained to them for an hour, and they were so anxious that they wanted to beat them up.”
The king said: "Then let's announce it at the right time. Apart from us, the happiest person is probably Liu Xin. How about Mei Yi?"
Krapeosu said helplessly: "He simply regards the main temple as his home. He tells stories to the priests every day, and even takes the little priests to explore behind the main temple. We little priests like him very much, and we finally go out.
On one trip, I would bring him snacks with the copper coins I finally saved. If this guy is a bad guy, he will be in real trouble."
The queen laughed dumbly and said: "Pope, don't worry about this. If this guy was really a nuisance, he wouldn't be alone in his twenties. Just look at the terms of the peace treaty, and you can see that he is a piece of cake.
Loyal and patriotic. In short, it is great that the matter can be resolved so smoothly."
Fourteen days later, the palace held a supreme meeting, and all the great lords, high-ranking officials, and celebrities gathered in the palace.
The protocol officer read out: "My lords, not long ago, under the witness of Pope Krapeosu, Marquis Meiyi of Ice and Snow City, Duke Christian of Black Crystal City, Duke Fengqi of Southern Fairy Forest, and Duke Prince of Giant Wood City,
After fair and friendly negotiations, the Four-City Peace Treaty was signed. The main contents are now read out as follows:
First, the kingdom and the main temple sent investigation teams to the three places to supervise the ceasefire, investigate the causes of the conflict, and strictly hold the relevant personnel accountable. During the investigation, the lords of the three places suspended their duties.
Second, Ice and Snow City will dispatch economic and trade working groups to the three places to help and guide the three places to restore economic and living order and restore the freedom of all residents who are actually in a state of slavery.
Third, cancel the establishment of the Southern Fairy Forest territorial area, and change the royal reservation between the Southern Fairy Forest and the North and South Fairy Forest to Zizai City, where everyone can live and operate freely. Fengqi returns to the true spirit, as
Appointed separately if necessary.
In addition, after His Majesty the King's study and decision, he approved Marquis Meiyi's decision to give the Ice and Snow City to Princess Aiqilu as a birthday gift.
After His Majesty the King's study and decision, Free City was granted to Princess Ai Qilu of Hualing as a fief, and Esther was granted the title of Duke of Free City.
After His Majesty the King's study and decision, Mei Yi was quite disrespectful to the great lords and ministers in his previous words, so he reduced his title to Viscount and severely reprimanded him. He was not allowed to leave Ice and Snow City without an edict. His assistant Jiuli was conferred the title of
Earl, governs Ice and Snow City.
While the protocol officer read out the peace treaty and the king's decision, the great lords and ministers in the court were amazed.
Liu Xin of the Northern Fairy Forest was happy. The Southern Fairy Forest was cancelled, and Feng Yu was arrested. The separatist forces in the Fairy Forest were severely hit, and basically became useless.
Lady Alicia of Hualing was also happy. Esther was canonized as the Duke of Zizaicheng, and her family controlled the richest areas in the north and south of the kingdom.
His Majesty the King is also happy. As a result, the three southern regions will basically not be able to cause major disturbances, and the country is expected to fully restore peace.
Although the conservatives were not happy, they also understood the king's intentions. The kingdom and the main temple came forward to investigate the three places. They originally hoped to deal with the incident coldly. Feng Qi made a fool of himself twice, and Feng Yu's incident was a scandal. Originally,
It can't be saved.
Besides, the elven nobles weren't too cold to Fengqi in the first place.
The happiest thing is that Mei Yi was demoted to viscount.
Although everyone knows, he still has the final say in Ice and Snow City.
* * *
Esther was taking classes at Zhenling Academy, thinking about where to go for dinner with Meiyi in the evening.
Unexpectedly, people from the palace suddenly came and announced that Esther had been canonized as the Duke of Free City.
Esther took the canonization book, looked at it, put it on the ground, and continued to practice spiritual arts.
The classmates around her couldn't believe their eyes.
Although Esther has always been calm, is this too calm?
Esther explained: "My father is a duke, my mother is a duke, and I will be a duke sooner or later. There is nothing surprising about it."
Other students felt their faces being slapped mercilessly.
Except for those few boys who pursued Esther who investigated her family, no one else knew about Esther's life experience.
At noon, Mrs. Alicia came to True Spirit Academy to visit her eldest daughter.
When Mrs. Alicia congratulated Esther, Esther said: "Mom, please don't say these polite words between you and me. How is Meiyi?"
Alicia said: "He was demoted to viscount by the king and was severely reprimanded in public. His assistant Jiuli was made an earl and took over the Ice and Snow City. The Ice and Snow City was given to Aiqilu."
Esther sighed: "He doesn't look down on the Elf Kingdom at all, nor does he look down on us."
Alicia was surprised: "Why do you think so?"
Esther said: "If we are trustworthy and dare to stand up for justice, why would he use such a humiliating method? Not to mention His Majesty the King, everyone knows that the lords of the three southern regions have colluded with the ministers of the True Spirit, and rebellion is only a matter of time.
. He suddenly cut off the financial resources of the three rebellions and ended up being demoted."
Alicia was silent.
Esther asked: "Where is Meiyi now?"
Alicia said: "The king has driven him back to the Ice and Snow City to reflect."
Esther said: "He is now famous, and all the knowledgeable people in the Elf Kingdom will run to Ice and Snow City. The royal family has saved its face, gained benefits, appeased the nobles, and lost people's hearts."
Alicia said: "What about you, what are your plans? Now you have been awarded the title of Duke, have your own fief, and are independent. I can't stop you from anything you do now."
Esther said lightly: "Mom, please stop talking like that. The title of Duke may be the most perfect end point you envisioned for my life, but it is really worthless in my heart. I can listen to you in anything,
But if you talk about marriage or anything else, we won’t have to meet again."
At this point, Esther ignored Alicia's sullen look and said: "Mom, please believe me, I have tried my best to get along with you. But I found that we really can't get along. The life you envisioned for me
It feels like they are all fairy tales, and all I see is the cruel reality that cannot be ignored. I plan to drop out of school and go to the fiefdom, because I can't learn anything here."
After speaking, Esther bravely looked directly into Alicia's eyes.
Alicia's eyes were red and she said: "Ester, you still hate me because of what happened before. This is unfair to me. In this time and space, I have not forced you to marry a conservative, and I have never had this idea.
I try to understand the world between you, respect your decision, and accept Mei Yi, but this is not easy."
Esther said: "Mom, when Meiyi appeared in front of you before, you had almost lost everything. This time, he came back with memories and saved Aunt Luoqin's family, Hua Ling, and you all."
Alicia said: "I have seen some things from him before. Without his help, although Luo Qin and Yi Qi would have died, the flower spirit has not been broken, and your father and I have not
What happened? I don’t owe him anything.”
Esther suddenly said angrily: "That's because he didn't know many things 1500 years ago. Hualing was besieged by conservative nobles, and you used me in exchange for the conservatives to retreat. Do you know why I am called a spiritual genius?
Because after I overheard the news, I have been practicing spiritual arts day and night, eager to gain powerful power and get rid of the bad luck you imposed on me! At that time, I was only ten years old! Ten years old! Ten years old! "
Looking at the stunned Alicia, Esther said: "Mom, without the pain of loss, you are just a little woman who likes to make random suspicions, not the respectable Mrs. Alicia. Don't worry,
I won’t marry Mei Yi privately. He always cares too much about your feelings and doesn’t want me to lose my mother’s blessing. I will go to Zizai City tomorrow. Take good care of Avril and wait for Mei Yi to save her.”
After saying that, Esther hugged Alicia, turned around and left.
Alicia felt that her heart suddenly felt empty.
She wanted to call Esther, but the pride in her heart still prevented her from doing so.
You go.
