The entire imperial capital is immersed in the festive atmosphere of celebration, and the fireworks stored in the imperial capital warehouse are set off as if they cost no money tonight!

Obviously, Du Wei and the regent have the same idea... Because, before the invasion of the alien sinners in the future, this may be the last peaceful New Year before the future big war! So... let these have no influence on the future destiny.

People who don't know, please enjoy the last peaceful and happy time.

The regent even ordered that the curfew in the imperial capital be lifted on this day, and the square in front of the palace was also open to ordinary citizens, who could visit as much as they wanted.

This order was immediately cheered and supported by citizens across the city. Before evening, tens of thousands of citizens had gathered on the square in front of the palace to watch the fireworks. The crowded crowd filled more than a dozen streets.

Traffic was at a standstill.

And the nobles who got the royal invitation card to attend the New Year's dinner in the palace tonight had to go around and enter through the northwest side door of the imperial city...

In order to let the people celebrate, the nobles changed their ways. From this point alone, Prince Chen should be considered a very good monarch.

As usual, as Du Wei, he entered the palace in the afternoon and stayed with Prince Chen. Then during the dinner, he will also enter the venue with Prince Chen... This has always been the first place recognized by the empire.

It is an honor that only a minister can have. In the past, only the old Prime Minister Robschel received such treatment. However, since he retreated to the second line, especially after Du Wei returned to the imperial capital, this honor has been given to him since the Qingfeng Festival.

Du Wei.

The New Year's dinner is much more relaxed than the Qingfeng Festival. There are not so many traditional and almost religious rules, and it seems a little more casual. Of course, the scene is still very grand, and the number of people participating is almost double that of the Qingfeng Festival.

.

In the empire's aristocratic circle, getting an invitation to the New Year's Royal Dinner is almost a symbol of being integrated into the empire's aristocratic circle.

And obviously, Du Wei has once again become the focus.

Prince Chen and Du Wei entered the venue one after another. Du Wei walked carefully behind Prince Chen, and then the regent of the empire announced in public that His Majesty the Emperor was in poor health and could not attend tonight. No one expressed any surprise. After all, the old emperor

His age was there, and he had been depressed ever since he was ostracized. Of course, some people vaguely sensed something, but they were smart enough not to show it on their faces.

This was followed by the first dance of the Prince Regent and the Queen.

It is worth mentioning that Princess Louise has not returned to the imperial capital yet!

Miss Delly was brought to the imperial capital by Du Wei more than ten days ago. Du Wei secretly met with her. When he saw Du Wei's Delly, he acted extremely fearful and respectful.

Then Du Wei safely sent her back to Prince Chen. He could see from the woman's eyes that she had completely surrendered and lost the courage to continue to fight against him.

But unfortunately, Princess Louise has not come back yet!

The people Du Wei sent to the northwest only brought Delly back, while Princess Louise brought a letter. The letter said very clearly: Unfortunately, she got sick again in the northwest. Although the illness was not serious,

But in order to avoid aggravating her condition during the long journey, she had to postpone her return to the imperial capital. Although Prince Chen didn't say much when he saw the letter, he looked at Du Wei deeply at that time, and his look made her

Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After Du Wei went back that day, he felt very depressed.

According to the news coming from the northwest, this Princess Louise is obviously not ill...but she refuses to leave now! According to reports from Duwei's people, this Justice Louise is now guarding us in Gilliat City.

The one-eyed paladin, Mr., almost never leaves!

Moreover, it seems that the relationship between the two is becoming more and more harmonious...

"Damn! What's getting more and more harmonious!" Du Wei knew that his subordinates didn't dare to say nonsense and didn't know how to word it. So he gave such a vague description: "I think it's basically a love affair!!"

Princess Louise fell in love and refused to come back, which posed a difficult problem for Duwei: at the dinner, after the Prince Regent danced the first dance, it was his turn!

Although Du Wei could repeat his old trick and dance another song with the eight-year-old Princess Luo Li and Kalina, unfortunately the news from the palace was that Princess Kalina accidentally sprained her leg while riding a horse.

…

"Okay then..." Du Wei sighed.

At this moment, Prince Chen's dance had finished and when the music started playing again, it was Du Wei's turn to leave.

More than a hundred noble girls present looked at Du Wei eagerly, waiting for the favor of the current most noble man in the empire... Although Du Wei made a fool of himself in the game two days ago, but... he is the Tulip Duke after all!

!

One by one, the aristocratic girls in evening clothes leaned forward, some even deliberately exposed their cleavage to try to attract Du Wei's attention, and some kept shaking their small fans and posing. Damn it, don't you know it's now?

The end of December? Still shaking the fan...

Du Wei's eyes scanned the crowd... Then he stood up helplessly and walked aimlessly towards the ladies...

"Oh! He's coming! He's coming!"

There was a murmur of murmurs and nervous murmurs from the ladies.

Du Wei gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He walked straight over, pretending to walk through the flowers casually, enduring the fiery gazes from around him. Finally, he felt a sudden change in his heart and casually stretched out his hand in a direction in front of him.

Go. Sighing: "Can you please..."

There were sighs of frustration all around, but in the direction where Du Wei stretched out his hand to invite, a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting on a soft chair. She was wearing a bright red evening dress, which looked like a blooming flower.

Like a rose.

But what surprised Du Wei slightly was that the girl in front of him did not wait eagerly for his arrival like the other noble girls.

When he stood in front of her and extended his hand to invite, Du Wei even saw a hint of...disgust in the girl's eyes.

Yes! That’s right! It’s actually disgust!!

Du Wei looked at the girl carefully. She was very young and beautiful. She had a rare pair of brown eyes, blond hair, delicate and fair skin, and a beautiful face, with a little bit of the peculiarity of a girl of her age.

You can imagine that when she grows up in a few years and the baby fat fades away, she will become a stunning beauty. Of course, she is also very beautiful now.

But...why is she looking at me with such disgust?

Du Wei was absolutely sure that he didn't know this girl at all and had never even met her!

"Is that okay?" Du Wei extended his hand to invite again.

The girl gave Du Wei a cold look. Then suddenly she stood up, looked at Du Wei up and down, and then said coldly: "What do you think I am? Lord Duke! Do you think I am a girl who can't get married?

?Are you using me as a shield now? Go find someone else! Because I feel sick when I see you!"

Her voice was not too soft, and some people standing close could hear her clearly.

Du Wei was stunned. He touched his nose and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Beautiful lady... Do we know each other? Do you have any grudge against me?"
