His Majesty the Pope left the stage, the music immediately stopped, and all the guests on the dance floor stopped dancing and stepped aside to see the Pope off respectfully.
"Huh, holy stick." Just after the Pope walked out of the hall, a soft and childish voice suddenly came.
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh, because the person who said this was none other than the little prince Charlie who had performed well just now!
Du Wei was about to say something, but at this time, Prince Chen had already stood up and raised his hands, and soon the hall fell silent.
Then, taking this opportunity, His Majesty the old emperor Augustine VI also left the stage to rest. Prince Chen winked at Du Wei, and then the two of them followed Grum and left together.
"Why are you so angry?" When he walked out of the hall and walked through a corridor behind the palace, with only his confidants following him, Prince Chen suddenly asked Du Wei: "This is not like your character.
Ah, Du Wei. I remember that your endurance has always been very good."
Du Wei smiled slightly: "If I don't get angry and make the situation more tense... God knows how long the Pope will sit here chatting! So I just deliberately took the opportunity to get angry, so that he would be too embarrassed to leave.
Already."
As he said this, he glanced at Groom, the tailor in front of him, and was about to say something.
Prince Chen suddenly spoke and asked the two court magicians around him to send "His Majesty the Emperor" back to the palace to rest, and then asked Du Wei and the two little guys to go to the study with him!
Du Wei's heart sank and he couldn't help but glance at Groom. The tailor was also looking at Duwei Groom with a trace of despair in his eyes and smiled miserably.
Du Wei's heart suddenly moved. He stopped and looked at Prince Chen: "Your Highness, can I go back with Your Majesty first... I have some things that need to be dealt with."
"Oh?" Prince Chen raised his eyebrows.
Du Wei looked relaxed and said with a faint smile: "Have you forgotten the 'medicine' I used for His Majesty the Emperor a few days ago when he was feeling unwell? I said at that time that once the medicine takes effect, it will
It’s useless. I need to…”
Prince Chen frowned and thought for a while, then glanced at his court magician: "Let's do this. You send your father back first, and then... later, Duke Tulip will go over and give him medicine."
Du Wei was relieved in his heart. He knew that this was Prince Chen's hint to his two men not to rush to kill Grum. He glanced at Grum and sighed. The meaning of that look was very clear: he can live a little longer.
Just for a while!
In the Prince Regent's study, Prince Chen was obviously in a good mood and actually praised his son a few words. Prince Charlie's performance tonight was very amazing. At such a young age, when facing the Pope, his courage and calmness showed
His magnanimity made Prince Chen very proud.
But when faced with his father's compliment, little Charlie suddenly blushed, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head. Finally he spoke a truth that surprised the adults:
"Father, actually...the words I retorted were not my own thoughts."
"Didn't you think of it yourself?" Prince Chen was stunned.
"Well, it's not what I thought about." Little Charlie turned around and took his sister's hand, and said sincerely: "The two of us were sitting there, watching you and the Pope having some debates, and then, my sister suddenly appeared
She whispered something into my ear. Then she encouraged me and asked me to stand up bravely and speak out. I was a little worried at first, but she said to me, if I do this, you will definitely not punish me, but will reward me.
mine."
At this time, Prince Chen and Du Wei were both stunned. They looked at the young Princess Karina. This little girl was only eight years old. Du Wei couldn't help but whispered: "Karina... Your Highness, those words.
Did you come up with it all?!"
At this moment, the eight-year-old girl blushed shyly, and after a while she replied softly: "I...I just expressed some thoughts, but my brother expressed my thoughts very wonderfully.
.If I had to say it myself, I wouldn’t be able to say it that well.”
Prince Chen's face became serious. He reached out and gently hugged his little daughter, and said seriously: "Karina! Tell me, how did you come up with these things?"
Unlike Prince Charlie, although Karina is a princess, the education she receives in daily life is completely different from that of Charlie!
Prince Charlie has already had his first teachers in the palace. They are all very knowledgeable scholars. His courses also include some historical content. Charlie is very smart. So although his performance tonight is wonderful, but in the
From Prince Chen's point of view, it was quite reasonable. After all, he had a lot of excellent teachers teaching him every day. Prince Chen only thought that his son was a little genius, and he only thought of so much "maturity" under the influence of the teachers.
principle.
But Karina is different! Although she is a child of the royal family, she did not receive the orthodox education like the prince! At the age of eight, she spent most of her time studying traditional aristocratic girl education, such as art, flower arrangement, painting, etc.
wait……
"Tell me, how did you come up with those principles yourself? Or did someone teach you in daily life?" Prince Chen asked seriously, and suddenly said: "Is it Lan Lan, the court etiquette official who is responsible for taking care of your daily life?
Miss?"
"No, it's not Miss Lanlan." Karina was a little nervous. After a while, she slowly whispered: "I saw it from a book... Well, there are many books in my brother's study. I usually
I often go there and look through it. There are also some...I...are..."
She suddenly glanced at Du Wei: "I read it from the book "General History of the Mainland" that Teacher Du Wei gave me as an enlightenment gift. There were some notes from the teacher himself in that book. I thought it was very interesting, so
I just wrote it down. There are also some... that I just came up with on my own."
Prince Chen was stunned!!
genius?
My daughter is a real genius?!
Self-taught without a teacher?!
I originally thought that my son was very good, but now it seems that this little daughter is better than my son?!
Seeing Prince Chen's stunned look, Karina was a little scared. She timidly whispered: "Father, I...did I do something wrong?"
"Ah... no! You did a good job!" Prince Chen suddenly became excited. He picked up the little girl hard, let her sit on his arms, and kissed Karina hard on the face.
He smiled happily and said: "Okay, my darling. You are right, I will not punish you. Instead, I will reward you! Tell me, what reward do you think you hope to get for your outstanding performance tonight?
Woolen cloth?"
He looked at his son and daughter with satisfaction, and pondered for a moment: "Ah, Charlie, you like riding horses, I will give you a prairie horse of high quality blood. As for Karina..."
"No. Father!" Karina suddenly grabbed her father's arms, jumped to the ground, and then pulled Charlie back a few steps. Seeing that Charlie was still a little stunned, Karina squeezed Charlie's hand hard.
The little prince reacted and immediately said loudly: "Father, we don't want any other rewards! There is only one request, that is... Grand Duke Tulip has agreed to be our teacher. But he is in the northwest all year round, and we can't get it.
Teacher’s teachings. Now that the Grand Duke has returned to the imperial capital, we would like to ask the teacher to spare some time to teach us in the palace as time permits!”
Prince Chen smiled slightly and glanced at Du Wei.
Du Wei didn't mean to refuse this kind of thing, he smiled and agreed: "It's absolutely possible, Your Highness! I feel ashamed to say that the two young Highnesses called me teacher, but I have never been able to teach them.
Your Highness... Anyway, I will stay in the imperial capital for a while this time, and during this time, I will run around the palace more."
Looking at the happy faces of the two children, little Charlie's joy was quite reserved, but little Karina's face was flushed with joy. She stared at Duwei with her shining eyes, looking very excited.
"But..." Du Wei suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "What I want to remind your two highnesses is that from now on, you must never say the term 'magic stick' again in public! Otherwise,
It would not be a good thing if someone with serious intentions spreads the word."
Du Wei is so smart. He knows that his notes in the General History of the Mainland contain many disdainful remarks about the church. I am afraid that the title "Magic Stick" must be because the child read his notes! Otherwise, he is so smart.
If so, who among the teachers in the palace would dare to teach two young highnesses such a thing?
After the two children happily agreed, Prince Chen asked them to retreat.
When Du Wei and Prince Chen were left in the study, the smile on Prince Chen's face faded and he looked a little serious: "Du Wei, tell the truth, why are you suddenly determined to participate in this competition? To be honest,
I feel a little disapproval! After all, you are the Duke of the Empire! What a duel between a majestic Duke and those warriors in the field! Besides... the sword has no eyes, you are now an important minister of the Empire, what if you are harmed in any way?
If..."
Du Wei smiled and explained his worries. Prince Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't take it seriously. He said calmly: "As a knight association, the reason why we do this is just for...
...Things about the throne! Well, since the church wants to do something evil, let them do it. Why do you have to take such a risk for a knight association that has collapsed?"
He suddenly glanced at Du Wei again: "You...you don't really want to revitalize this knight association, do you?"
To be honest, when Du Wei first proposed the motion, he just came up with an idea and used this incident as a primer to find a way to solve the issue of the throne (this will be explained later).
At the beginning, Du Wei did not really want to revitalize this knights association that had nothing to do with him.
But after he got to know Delong, his mind came alive. In other words, he was moved by Delong. So... he also did one thing and two things. So he might as well take advantage of it.
Taking this opportunity to really support the Knights Association is a good thing.
I just didn't expect that the temple actually misunderstood my intention.
But that’s fine too…
In this case, it seems that the temple does not know the news that the old emperor has passed away! Their eyes are only focused on the Knights Association!
Du Wei just smiled and said: "Your Highness, I just thought about it carefully later and realized that it might not be a bad thing to support the Knights Association. Although there may not be many obvious benefits in the short term, in the long run
Come, it’s a good investment! And...the temple suddenly intervenes. At this time, if we retreat, wouldn’t it make the temple think that we are afraid of them!"
The last sentence moved Prince Chen. He nodded and glanced at Du Wei: "Then you should be more careful. If there is danger, don't force it. Du Wei, I hope you understand, treat me
Say, you are much more important than a knight association!"
Du Wei was also a little moved in his heart, but this moved only for a moment. He immediately realized that this was Prince Chen's words as a monarch to win people's hearts.
"Okay, go ahead... Grum's matter will be dealt with tonight! Don't leave any trouble." Prince Chen waved his hand, indicating that Du Wei could leave.
Du Wei sighed, and just as he walked to the door, Prince Chen suddenly called Du Wei again.
"Is there anything else? Your Highness?" Du Wei turned around.
There seemed to be something playful in Prince Chen's eyes. He glanced at Du Wei with a half-smile, then his tone suddenly became a little weird, and he said two words that made Du Wei break out in cold sweat!
"Du Wei... I haven't asked you since you came back because I was afraid of embarrassing you. But, it's been so many days, I think your anger has gone away... Well, my man
The future princess and my sister Louise must have lived in the northwest for a long time. I miss Louise very much. You... please have them sent back to you as soon as possible."
