On Tuesday morning, the moon in the sky has just completely disappeared, and the sun will not rise for more than an hour, which is the darkest time. However, under the illumination of thousands of blubber street lamps, the entire Redwood Avenue was as bright as day. The usually silent Redwood Avenue became noisy in advance in this extremely luxurious light. Coal, flour, spices, lamps... boxes and baskets of various sizes, piles of expensive utensils, mountains of ribbons and velvet... The carriages carrying all kinds of materials and gifts almost completely filled the spacious freight lane. These carriages were connected in a line, like long intertwined dragons, winding towards the Lane Manor at the end of Sequoia Avenue. go…… Tsk tsk, it is indeed the Duke Lionheart's knighthood ceremony, he is really willing to spend money! After poking her head out of a two-wheeled light carriage and looking at the endless queue in front of her, she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable due to the cold wind of late autumn. The young woman wearing a light blue dress quickly retracted into the carriage. , touching the round and pretty nose that was red from the cold and muttered: "What a mistake. If I had known it would be so cold today, I would have put on two more layers when I came out." "..." Looking at the young woman who was so cold that she breathed on her palms and stamped her feet roughly, the middle-aged lady sitting opposite endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but remind her: "Your Highness Veronica, even if you escaped secretly, please pay attention to your manners!"
"Please spare me today. I'm too cold to care about my manners. To be honest, if I can warm up the car now, instead of just paying attention to my manners, I can go down and give you a dance." After laughing and joking with the middle-aged lady, the young woman tugged hard on her woolen shawl to cover the two white greasy hills that almost jumped out of the upper edge of her petticoat. Then she leaned against the car window and continued Observed the motorcade outside. "There are really a lot of people here today..." After squinting her eyes for a while and looking at the galloping road reserved for nobles, and counting the number of carriages passing by, the pretty young woman said with a half-smile: "Glenold, Mandarin Bird, Light Shield... Haha, in just a short time, three noble families have passed by. It seems that the inheritance of the Lane family is indeed attractive enough. Regardless of whether they should come or not, everyone who has the ability wants to take the opportunity to come and take a bite. Today's knighthood ceremony will probably be very lively! " "..." I don't know if it will be lively or not, but this skirt is really too "hot" on you! Seeing that the young woman's breasts were almost squeezed out of her front because of her leaning on the window frame, the middle-aged lady's eyelids jumped. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her back, and said angrily: "Your Highness, pay attention to your manners! It's really... If your identity is exposed during the ceremony, the entire royal family will be shamed by seeing you wearing such immodest attire! Why don't you come out with a dress that fits you better? " "There's nothing I can do about this..." After looking down at the dress she was wearing, the young woman reached out and pulled the pleats around her waist, letting the middle-aged lady see how much free space there was, and then said helplessly: "My skirt is of a special size and is usually custom-made. This is already the most suitable skirt I could find in a hurry. If you don't believe it, look at how big of an empty space there is around my waist. If it were any bigger, I wouldn't be able to fit it on." "..." Looking at the dress, which could be called simple in shape, but looked particularly impactful when worn on her, the corners of the middle-aged lady's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. She roughly grabbed the young woman's shawl, then pulled off the tassels on the carriage cushions, tied more than a dozen flower buttons on the sides of the shawl, and braided a net to cover the front. After putting the modified shawl on the young woman again, looking at her chest blocked by the tassel net, the middle-aged lady couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then gritted her teeth and threatened: "When you get to the manor later, you can't take this shawl off even if you die from the heat. You must wear it! Do you hear me?"
Isn't it? The young woman was slightly startled when she heard this. After looking down at the unusually thick shawl, a look of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face. "This is made of pure wool, with the densest stitching. Besides, there is a charcoal stove in Lane Manor. If you don't take off your shawl..." "Your Highness Veronica!" "Okay, okay, I just won't take off my shawl." Seeing the "wear it or die" look on the middle-aged lady's face, knowing that this was the other person's bottom line, the young woman could only sigh, cover her shawl honestly, and then stuck her head out of the window again and looked at The traffic flow outside the window. "By the way, you really had a good idea when you asked me to take the goods and say goodbye to the Chi Road. If I take the Chi Road, I won't see so many interesting things." Several carriages with three-feather bronze crowns on them flew by on the galloping road. While counting the number of nobles attending the ceremony, the young woman smiled at the worried middle-aged lady: "Look, that little wretched Earl is actually here too. I wonder if he brought that cabbage with him?" The little wretched Earl? After hearing what the young woman said, the middle-aged lady couldn't help but frown and asked: "Your Highness, what does the third Earl Xiaozhao... mean?" "It's a curse word." The young woman smiled and explained: "The new Duke of Lionheart had a little conflict with the little scoundrel earl a few days ago. After discovering that he had the title of earl but only had three basic feathers on his emblem, he poked his finger at the emblem on his chest and said with contempt that he was a little scoundrel, which almost pissed him off on the spot. After the little scoundrel earl woke up, in order to retaliate against the ridicule of the Duke of Lionheart, he placed a cabbage at home and threatened that the Duke of Lionheart's dukedom would probably rot faster than the cabbage in his home." Give the middle-aged lady a popular science of "little scoundrel earl" and " After learning about the origin of the "Cabbage Duke", the young woman smiled and said: "Although he is about to inherit the Duke's position, the Duke of Lionheart gives people a feeling of... not being noble. The reason why I must come to watch the succession ceremony today is to see what interesting things he can do. " Your Highness... is still a young man who likes excitement after all... Seeing the young woman laughing happily, no longer frowning and thinking hard all day long, the middle-aged lady's heart softened slightly, and just as she was about to say something, she heard a sudden noise from the back. "Make way!" "Make way! Make way!" "The royal family is traveling, pedestrians should stay away!" The two people in the carriage looked back in surprise and found that the temporary boundary fence separating the cargo lane and the galloping lane was forcibly pushed down and then piled up to the side of the road in a very rough manner. Next, two teams of guards in bright clothes, holding long poles with loops on the ends, which were specially used to drive people away, pushed a large number of carriages that could not dodge in time to the side of the road, and forcibly widened the road in the middle of Redwood Avenue to allow a luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses to drive in.
