In the evening, in the Emilia Ballroom, the largest ballroom in the palace, the dance was held as scheduled.

Meiyi finally understood why those nobles liked the ball so much - all the noble noble ladies and court ladies appeared at the ball. The major nobles and new nobles were looking for their favorite female partners to dance in the center of the hall.

Meiyi cannot dance and has no talent in this area.

He poured himself a glass of red wine and stood alone on the balcony to enjoy the breeze. Because the concierge said that the king would meet the new nobles after the ball, he could not leave first, so he had to stay there.

Several girls recognized Mei Yi and came over to invite Mei Yi to dance. Mei Yi said awkwardly: "Sorry, I don't know how. Also, for your safety, it's best not to take the risk of teaching me." After that, he

Pointing at Sakura Mai who was sitting there rubbing her feet.

Yingwu's hair was disheveled and she stared at Meiyi hatefully, her eyes almost killing him - she suspected that Meiyi stepped on her on purpose.

Meiyi stayed in the banquet hall for a while, feeling uncomfortable, so she walked out of the banquet hall and went to the library. He shook the glass lamp vigorously, and the bright light illuminated the entire library.

He climbed up the ladder, found a few books, and sat in front of the window to read them carefully.

After watching for about half an hour, he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw that it was the queen. The queen closed the door and asked strangely: "Teacher Meiyi, why don't you go to the dance and read here?"

Meiyi said helplessly: "I don't know how to dance. Yingwu kindly taught me to dance, but my feet were swollen because of my step. I fell down and accidentally tore off her hair tie, which cost her the entire afternoon."

Time has ruined my beautiful hair. I won’t be able to survive if I stay there any longer.”

The queen couldn't help laughing. After a while, she said: "Mei Yi, I actually don't know what happened today, but I know that thanks to you and Meluke, our family and those who finally came to the royal family

Only then can the great lord be safe and sound, and only then can Ai Qilu successfully become the crown prince."

Meiyi waved her hands hurriedly and said: "Queen, after the enfeoffment ceremony, I went home and went to bed. I have no idea what happened in the palace in the afternoon, and I didn't play any role."

The queen gave Mei Yi a meaningful look, "Mei Lu is always the one you insisted on keeping by Ai Qilu's side, right? If Ai Qilu listened to you and took Ai Qilu with you, maybe nothing would happen today.

Already."

Meiyi knew that she couldn't get away with it, so she said: "It can be regarded as a lucky hit. I heard from Mei Luke that today the princess's decisive ability in dealing with crises and her filial piety to her parents have impressed those big lords who are not familiar with the world. If she is around

Someone you can rely on may not be able to do so well."

The queen said: "Let's go to the banquet hall together. The king and princess have discussed it and decided to make you the great lord of Sombra City, which is Christine's territory. I want to announce the good news to everyone.

!”

Mei Yi was shocked and said hurriedly: "Queen, thank you for your kindness, but this is inappropriate. The lord of Black Crystal City governs seventeen large counties and four small cities around it. I, an inexperienced person, can serve as the lord.

It must not be done well. Besides, I have just been awarded the title of viscount and suddenly became a duke. What will others think of the kingdom’s title system?”

The queen smiled and said: "I am not discussing with you. I have already told you that this is a decision jointly made by the king, queen and future queen. We all think highly of you. As for the title, you are right.

How about you take the title of viscount and serve as the great lord of Black Crystal City? The earls, viscounts, barons and knights in the territory will all be under your control, and you can also divide the title among yourself."

Meiyi wanted to say something else, but the queen said: "Meiyi, the king and I read the book you wrote to the princess and thought you were right. The lordship system actually divided the Elf Kingdom. You went there to try out the abolishment of the lordship system."

Province, when you succeed, we will promote it nationwide."

Speaking of this, the queen patted Mei Yi's arm: "Please come up with the results quickly. I want to see that day sooner. However, don't delay your own affairs. When you find the girl you like, I will

I will personally solemnize your wedding at the palace."

Meiyi suddenly discovered that the queen who had always been so dazzling did not have silver hair, but much of it had turned completely white.

"Okay, queen, I promise you."

* * *

"There is a human among the people who were awarded the title of nobility with us. Do you know who he is?" A new nobleman asked while holding red wine.

"have no idea."

"I don't know. By the way, how many of us know humans?"

"Haha, that's right, that's right, who cares about them!"

"When I was in school, there were some human girls who tried their best to lean on us. It was so shameless!"

"I don't see that you are a gentleman, and you sit calmly in your arms."

"Ha, what are you talking about? There's no reason to use the ones that come to your door. The human girls are quite wonderful, haha... They personally said that our men are much better than those human men."

Some of the noble women around had disgust on their faces and walked away. Some women echoed these noble men, covering their mouths with their hands in white silk gloves and giggling.

"By the way, why didn't Princess Ai Qilu come to the dance tonight? She is the protagonist tonight. I didn't expect that she would become the crown prince at the age of fifteen."

"There was a huge noise from the Royal City this afternoon. Something may have happened in the palace. Didn't you notice that the tower built on the island in the middle of the lake fell down, and a tree as big as a mountain grew!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. The king, queen and princess came in. What...what happened?! That human actually walked in front of the great lords! What is the relationship between him and the queen!"

The king, queen and princess stood at the front, Meiyi stood behind them, and the six lords Ilia, Helidia, Alfie, Hua Jie, Liulian and Qiyan stood behind Meiyi.

behind.

Many people in the audience were aristocratic children studying at Zhenling Academy. They secretly exclaimed: "Isn't that Teacher Meiyi?"

The king, princess, and several major lords rested for more than two hours and were treated by the palace doctor, and they all recovered to health and spirit. The king stepped forward and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the ball in the palace.

.Here, I have some news to announce, which will be sent to all parts of the country tomorrow."

The king's secretary announced: "Today at the meeting of the lords of the three clans, the lord of Black Crystal City, Christine, the lord of Giant Wood City, Prince, and the lord of Southern Fairy Forest, Feng Qi, launched a coup with the intention of assassinating His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Princess. In the Wind

The land lord Marquis Qi and others resisted and were subdued. Prince and Christine died on the spot, and Feng Qi was arrested and imprisoned."

There was a burst of exclamation in the banquet hall. You know, the word coup has disappeared from the Elf Kingdom for nearly a hundred years.

"Princess Ai Qilu remained calm during the lords' meeting and handled the coup. She handled emergencies with ease and saved the lives of the six lords, which was unanimously recognized by them. From then on, Ai Qilu officially became the crown prince and participated in political affairs.

.”

There was an uproar in the banquet hall, and everyone knelt down and swore allegiance to Co-President Ai Qilu.

"Viscount Mei Yi taught the princess meritoriously. Miss Meluke, the princess's companion he recommended, saved the king and the princess, defeated Christine and Prince, killed the giant snake summoned by Feng Qi, and saved the royal family from the brink of destruction.

Now I will change his fiefdom from Luoshui City to Black Crystal City, control all the nobles in the 21 counties under his jurisdiction, and leave for office in one month... In addition, in accordance with his opinions, I will retain the title of viscount and not be named a duke for the time being." (To be continued.)
