According to the so-called "tradition," the first dance music was shared exclusively by Dewey and her partner. So the people in the hall consciously stood around and gave way to the middle.
Dewey gently hugged Marquis Liszt, and the two danced to the music. Although he was not favored from childhood, Dewey was educated in aristocratic etiquette after all, and this kind of aristocratic dance was also very skillful. And to his surprise, the Marquis Liszt's dance steps are much better than he did not know. At the beginning, marquis Liszt seemed to be a little reserved, but with the rapid rhythm of the cheerful music, her body became more and more light. When she was spinning, her long hair was floating, and her skirt was like a blooming flower. The fragrance on her body is obviously a kind of precious spice, elegant and fresh, which makes people feel drunk.
They just hugged each other and danced. Dewey gradually couldn't keep up with the pace of marquis Liszt. Fortunately, the Marquis was very clever. She changed her body's strength a little and quietly replaced Dewey as the leader of the dance, but no one else could see it.
Unconsciously, the two people are getting closer and closer, and they are talking in a low voice at the same time.
"Your Highness, why don't you invite other single ladies? It's not a gentleman's way to use me as a shield. "
Dewey said in a low voice with a little smile, "Marquis, you really misunderstood me. Among all the ladies present, who can be more beautiful? I'd like to invite you to dance with me. Today's adult ceremony. It's going to be an unforgettable memory in my life. "
Marquis Liszt did not know how many compliments she had heard in her life, and she did not care about them. She just laughed a little, but she deliberately went over and whispered in duvet's ear, "I have to say, you are so cunning."
Dewey curled his mouth and gave her a default.
He really doesn't have many ways. Just now, after listening to the so-called tradition, old mad understood that the first dance was used to show love.
You know, every noble child, although nominally 15 years old to officially mature, but born in a rich family noble men, which is not young already enlightened? Most of the children of rich families lived among many beautiful maids in their families when they were young. It's no surprise that some of them have eaten pith since they were 13 or 14 years old. And this kind of behavior of showing love in adult etiquette is also a traditional procedure.
Of course, there are also people who, for the sake of safety, are not fully sure. In this kind of ceremony, I don't really go to the public to ask for dance from the woman who is suitable for me. Otherwise, I have no intention of joining Lang Youqing's concubine and will be rejected in public. I can't afford to lose face. Therefore, if they are not sure, many men will choose to invite their sisters or family friends to dance, which not only conforms to the traditional procedure, but also has no risk of losing face.
Dewey's invitation to the Marquis Liszt to dance coincided with this custom. Although there are many ladies present today, only the Marquis Liszt is the most "safe". Because even if Dewey invited her to dance, no one would really think that the young Duke would have a spark with the famous widow of the Empire. Although Madame Liszt is very skillful, they are quite different in age after all. Moreover, since she was widowed, marquis Liszt did not know how many people had her ideas. It was even heard that even the emperor had some thoughts on this beauty and they were rejected. For this reason, the Marquis de Liszt even left the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital and went back to the home of the Liszt family to avoid suspicion.
Many of the guests were just smiling when Dewey invited the Marquis to dance. I think this kind of wizard, your highness. I'm afraid there's no beloved woman or confidante. I just want to invite the Marquis to have fun. And some of them have left their hearts open. But I want to report to my landlord after I go back. The Duke is still single. If I want to woo the most popular power in the Empire, marriage is definitely a wonderful choice.
Not to mention the many thoughts of the onlookers around, angel has quietly retreated to the edge of the hall. She is powerless against the wall. Her delicate face is pale, but her hands are tightly holding the skirt, and her nails are deeply pinched into the palm of her hand. The Muse stood by his sister's side and looked in his eyes. He secretly took angel's hand and said in a low voice, "sister, I'll go back with you."
Angel bit his lip, and the tears in his eyes came down again and again.
Fortunately, she was standing in a remote place, and no one else saw her, but the Muse took a white silk handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him. He said in a low voice, "sister, you saw it yesterday. This guy seems to have a lover. Besides, what's good about him? I don't think this guy is anything good. Hum... "
Angel's face sank, then sighed: "Muse... You, go back with me."
The atmosphere in the hall was very strong, but the two brothers and sisters quietly left behind the crowd. The Muse held angel up, excused himself from discomfort, and went out through the side door without waiting for the end of the first dance.
The last note stops suddenly. Marquis Liszt's body spins gently, and then suddenly falls gently into duvidi's arms. Her waist seems to be full of flexibility and elasticity. She leans back hard, but she can still keep balance. Under the V-shaped deep necked evening dress, her plump and round chest skin is full of ivory color, which is attractive to squeeze together, With the breathing of his chest, a dazzling ravine formed. Du Wei dragged his hand under the Marquis's waist, just as if he was pressing on her. Suddenly, he saw a trace of teasing in the Marquis's eyes
When the applause rang out, everyone gave a warm applause to the young Duke. After the dance, it symbolized that the young dignitary had grown up in the name of law. At last Mrs. Liszt stood up, though she was a good dancer. But after all, it was a woman. With her physical exertion, a pink face was full of blushes, and the sound of breathing was particularly attractive. Suddenly, in full view of the public, she took a step, and almost directly stuck into Du Weidi's arms.
Then, the famous beauty of the Empire suddenly made a move that surprised everyone!
She held out her hands. He took Dewey's cheek, then whispered in a voice that only Dewey could hear: "you know, Duchess, this is the first time I've danced in all these years since my husband died. In order to thank you for your invitation, and... According to tradition, I would like to make a request for "adult etiquette"... Don't refuse. It's a tradition, too. "
With that, the Marquis suddenly went up. Before duvet could react, her fragrant lips had been gently pressed on duvet's lips!
The applause seemed to be cut off by an invisible pair of scissors! Everyone was staring at what happened in the field, and even some people forgot to put down their hands.
It's
It's a kiss of love!!
Everyone was shocked! According to tradition. The first dance music of adult etiquette is called the dance of showing love. If the protagonist really invites her beloved woman, then after the dance, the woman can give her kiss. Show acceptance of the other party's mind!
If not lovers, then as long as a simple kiss on the face.
But... In the aristocratic circle of the Empire, I don't know how many people's dreamy goddess actually gave Duwei a "kiss of love"!!!???
Just now, I thought that the Duke just invited Mrs. Liszt to make up a few people, and they all had strong doubts about what they had just thought!! If it is to make up the number, just kiss the face... But now, Mrs. Liszt, like a little bird, sticks to duvidi's arms. Kiss Dewey on the lips!
It used to be just a kiss, but it seems to be so long. Dewey, however, had not even had time to push the Marquis Liszt away. The other party had finished everything, and then stepped back slightly.
"I'll wait for you in the garden." The Marquis whispered in Dewey's ear.
Marquis Liszt's kiss completely upset Dewey's plan. The next party, marquis Liszt excuse body unwell, left early. However, Dewey was surprised or envied by the guests around him. It's very uncomfortable.
Everybody knows. It is not known how many men in the aristocratic circle regard the Marquis Liszt as their dream lover. But this widowed beauty never gives any man any color, but today she has made such an amazing move in public... This young Duke's way to women. It's amazing!
Dewey has suffered a lot, but he knows that his name is inseparable from the Liszt family, at least for a long time. Maybe this is what the Marquis wants?
The following dance, Dewey did not attend, leaving a large number of guests, the host has secretly slipped away.
Dewey said that he was not very clear about his current mood. Besides his surprise, he was slightly annoyed. He felt that he had been trifled with by the marquis. However, after sneaking out of the banquet hall, it seems to come to a back garden naturally.
The garden has been designed by Dewey. It is surrounded by a transparent flower house, and several flower beds are planted on the open space in the middle. Because Dewey never liked flowers with strong fragrance, he chose tulip as his new family's Totem in the garden.
In the evening breeze, among the Golden Tulip flowers, a figure is faintly beautiful, with a head of soft hair, and an evening dress like mercury, who is Marquis Liszt?
Slowly walked past, gently coughed.
The Marquis looked back, as if with a smile on her face.
"The marquis." Dewey frowned, his voice inevitably a little heavy: "I think I need an explanation."
"What?" The marquisee laughed lightly.
"Just now." There was no joy or anger on Dewey's face, but he came to her quietly.
The Marquis seemed to think for a moment, then she said with a smile: "Your Highness, just now I only remember that you invited me to dance the first love dance in your life in public, and I accepted your invitation. Finally, I also set up the tradition. Give back my heart... Isn't that the way it is? "
Dewey's speechless. But looking at the woman's quibbling eyes, Dewey suddenly gave birth to a trace of anger: "Marquis, I think it's better to tell the truth... We all know what happened just now."
The Marquis suddenly raised her hand and gently closed her hair. Under the moonlight, her eyes were bright and frightening, and suddenly she sighed: "Your Highness... Is it in your eyes. Am I an unattractive woman? Or do you think a woman of my age is not worthy of your noble status? Or do you think what happened just now is a kind of defilement to you? "
Finally, Dewey could not keep his face straight. He gave a wry smile: "the Marquis is is joking. How can you be unattractive with your beautiful appearance? Although I was young, when I first met you, I was almost frightened by your gorgeous light. It's just that. I think what you did just now is beyond my expectation... I asked myself that I have nothing special. Is it worth admiring by a goddess like you? "
"Your Highness, you look down on yourself." Mrs. Liszt's face suddenly sank and her eyes flashed. Staring into Dewey's eyes, he said slowly, "as a teenager, you are famous in the mainland. You became a Duke at the age of 14. It's a strange case that we haven't seen in a hundred years. What's more, you are an outstanding magic genius. You shine brilliantly in the coup. You are also the first master disciple of the mainland. Create a magic academy, set up a magic society, compete with the magic trade union, and create a new generation! Now that you have come to the Northwest for just a few months, you have already seen the wind and water rise. A series of handwriting is a miracle! In my opinion, none of the heirs of those powerful families in the empire can match you. What's more, you are still young. It's time for you to make great progress. In my opinion, in less than 15 years, I'm afraid you will be able to become one person below ten thousand people in the Empire! In the history of the Empire, no one can be a prime minister before the age of 30, but I think with your current momentum. It's very likely to break the record. "
Dewey was quiet. Light smile way: "madam, you ground these praise words. I'm really ashamed. Are you exaggerating what I have said? "
"I don't think it's enough." With a charming smile, the Marquis reaches out her plain hand and gently grasps a branch of flower. Then she gently brushes the palm of her hand on the flower bed and walks slowly to Dewey. The distance between them is only half a step away. The breath of this beauty seems to blow directly on Dewey's face: "in my opinion, your achievements may be many times greater than what I said."
Du Wei's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, and then carefully stepped back, side opened the body: "Oh?"
"Dewey." The Marquis suddenly changed her address and called out duvet's name, which surprised duvet a little. Then she whispered: "since I was grateful for your help last year, it's only a short year and a half now, and you've risen from the unpopular son of a family. Isn't that telling? "
After a pause, she said in a low voice: "and... Tonight, when I did what I did just now, it was actually a big violation of my usual rules of conduct... But, time does not wait for me. At that time, I had to do something."
Dewey smiles and stares at Mrs. Liszt.
"You are a very clever man, and I think you should understand what I mean by sending angel to the northwest." When Mrs. Liszt talked about her sister, there was a glimmer of sadness in her eyes: "my sister, although she seems to be gentle in appearance, she is persistent in her heart. She has a high heart since she was a child, but she despises all the young talents in those rich families. But when we were born in Liszt's family, the fate of a woman like us was always beyond our control. When I was young, my father married me. I couldn't resist it. And now... "
There was a trace of sadness in her voice, and her voice also lowered: "I can't bear to let her repeat my mistakes, although for the sake of the family, she always wants to marry the most suitable person who can bring the greatest benefits to the family. But I've never forced her to do anything. Fortunately, I thought you solved my biggest problem. Your status and current status can be said to be the most suitable and excellent candidate for the marriage of our Liszt family. And angel, she's very fond of you. When you are at home, your legendary experiences are often mentioned by her... I think this is probably the best way. So I took her to the Northwest... I thought that with angel's beauty, few men in the world could resist her... But unexpectedly, she fell in love with you at first sight, but you... "
That's all. Marquis Liszt shook her head with a wry smile.
Du Wei looks like: "this kind of thing can't be forced..." and in his heart, he feels that he can't laugh or cry: your sister likes me very much, so you come to kiss me... What kind of truth is that?
They looked at each other and were silent for a while. Marquis Liszt suddenly asked, "Dewey, what do you think of me?"
Du Wei was stunned.
But Marquis Liszt had already continued herself: "I was raised with my father's strict education, and I dare not slack off for a day. Although I don't dare to say how talented I am, few of the so-called scholars who are famous can be seen in my eyes. I married once, but I didn't love my husband. Although he loved me very much, after his early death, I left a rich legacy and a prominent title of nobility. Over the years, I have inherited my father's real estate. It's quite successful to manage the family business painstakingly. In my hands, the property handed down by my father has more than doubled... "
Dewey didn't understand the beauty's words. Just keep quiet.
"I'm thirty-one years old this year." At this point, the Marquis's face flashed a hint of worry, but then she showed a smile, this smile, even now in the flowers, that smile of amorous feelings, but has covered the surrounding flowers, see the beauty's eyes flow. It's really an unspeakable beauty. There is a trace of self pity in the voice. He said softly: "fortunately, the gods prefer to give us the beautiful faces of the Liszt family. Our Liszt family has always had excellent appearance. The God of time is also a special gift to me. Although I'm getting older these years, it doesn't take away my youth. I asked myself. Even though I'm 30 years old. But in terms of appearance, I will never lose to any woman in this world. "
Dewey couldn't help sighing. He said sincerely, "yes, you are indeed a rare beauty in my life."
Dewey is telling the truth, no matter from any point of view, the beauty is breathtaking and impeccable! Even if she seems to be a casual gesture, frown and smile, with infinite charm. Although Miss angel is said to have the same beauty as Mrs. Liszt when she was young, she is still a little too green after all, far from the elegant and mature amorous feelings of the beauty in front of her. What's more, although she is over thirty, there is no trace of years on Mrs. Liszt's face and body? When Dewey first saw her, he thought she was no more than eighteen or nine years old.
The dream lovers of countless aristocrats in the Empire are really worthy of the name.
Hearing Dewey admit, marquis Liszt's eyes wavered. She looked at Dewey with a smile and said, "well, Dewey, will a man like you be attracted to me?"
"..." Du Wei was stunned and subconsciously said: "what?"
"I said, would a man like you be attracted to me?" With this gentle question, marquis Liszt has slowly approached Dewey. Her movements are as gentle as the wind, and almost close to Dewey's body.
Du Wei forced a smile: "madam, you are joking."
"What if I'm not joking?" The distance between them was so close that the tip of their nose was close to the tip of their nose. I don't know why, looking at such a gorgeous person standing in his arms, Dewey couldn't help but feel a sense of beauty in his mind. He was going to push each other's hand, but he seemed reluctant. Looking at this beautiful woman so close at hand, I can feel the charm of her delicate facial features, her eyes like autumn water, and the faint fragrance of her delicate body
"I can guarantee that I will be the wife that any man dreams of." Marquis Liszt's voice was soft and soft, as if whispering something in duvet's ear: "I know what I should know, and I know what I shouldn't know... If a man wants me not to know, I will pretend not to know..."
Dewey felt his throat dry and his heart beat faster, but fortunately his sense was still there. He took a deep breath and pinched himself in secret. Then he woke up and looked at Marquis Liszt: "madam, what do you want to say to me?"
"Propose." Marquis Liszt's words, uttered gently from the population, almost startled duvet!
"I, LAN Liszt, give you my best wishes. Duke duverrudolph proposed This gorgeous beauty is obviously not joking, because although she smiles so charming, her eyes are clear and serious!
"I wish I could be your wife, your highness."
This time, Du Wei was stunned for a long time. It was as if he was a cat whose tail had been trampled on. Fortunately, he tried his best to bear it, but he didn't scream out. But the expression on his face was already a shock that could not be concealed.
To tell you the truth, I'm afraid that even if this woman told Dewey, she actually came through, which may not make Dewey even more shocked!
"Propose, propose?" Does Dewey feel like he's dreaming: "you asked me to marry you?"
"Yes." Marquis Liszt nodded: "I am proposing to you."
Dewey wants to laugh. But looking at each other's serious eyes, some can't smile, his heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of uneasiness: "are you serious?"
"In the last 30 years of my life, I have never been more serious." The beauty nodded gently.
Dewey finally stopped laughing. He realized the seriousness of the problem!
Refuse?
Are you kidding? The first beauty in the noble circle of the Empire proposed to herself. If I still refuse and spread it, I'm afraid I will be drowned in the saliva of those ministers under Mrs. Liszt's skirt in less than three days.
Don't you think it's the same age? Du Wei knows that although the other party is 30 years old... But according to his own two generations, I'm afraid his actual age is a little older than the other party!
Do you think the other party is old? But this woman looks left and right, up and down. She is a gorgeous young lady! If you don't know her real identity, say she's eighteen. People believe it!
Don't you think she came from a bad family? I'm kidding... The other party has a lot of money to kill!
Dislike that she married once? If you say that, even Dewey himself feels a little guilty. He had never been the kind of layman who flaunted chastity.
Moreover, it is obvious that the other party has put forward this matter with a very serious attitude and sincerity. From any angle, Dewey must answer with respect! This is the basic bottom line!
Since the other party is not joking, then this kind of event, I can't treat it with a playful attitude. Besides, the identity of the Marquis Liszt. Not ordinary people!
I pondered for a while. Dewey became more serious. He coughed. He looked at the woman steadily: "frankly, I'm really surprised... And anyway, it's a great honor for me to get the favor of such an honorable lady as you!"
"Then, do you accept it? Or refuse? " This question is not easy to use "yes" or "no" to answer, so Dewey thought for a while, then said euphemistically: "Madam... I already have a beloved woman." To duvet's surprise, the Marquis Liszt chuckled: "I know, it's the beautiful sorceress, right?"“ Yes, she is Dewey was relieved. "She's the girl I love."“ But if I tell you, I don't mind? " Marquis Liszt blinked: "in your position, in your status, it is impossible for you to have only one wife as an ordinary person. Although the imperial law only allows one formal wife, I don't think a man of your status should be bound by this kind of law. In fact... If you agree to my proposal, I don't care if you continue to pursue your love... You see, as I said just now, I'm a smart woman. There are some things that a man doesn't want me to know, I'll pretend I don't know. " After that, the woman knew very cleverly that it was not the right time to force Dewey to answer immediately. If she asked too closely, it would be bad. She skillfully stepped back and finally let the attractive body leave Dewey, which made Dewey feel relieved“ Please consider my request carefully The voice of the Marquis does not sound like talking about marriage at all. Instead, it sounds like talking about business: "I will be the best wife, and... I am willing to give up my surname for you and marry into your family. It's time to change your surname... And once you marry me, in your future career, Liszt family will unreservedly act as your most loyal and staunch supporter Finish saying, this beauty owes owe body to Du Wei grace, then lightly smile, float but go. Just leave Du Wei, dazed by the tulips in the garden... Damn, it's just a dance, which leads to trouble... I knew earlier, young master, I would rather dance in the river than in the building!
