After the Legend Chapter 202: The Queen’s Invitation

Na rode a horse to the mansion in Kado, and saw the front of the main house from far away]]][The carriage, twice the size of what she usually sees, was dark brown all over, painted with gold paint On the side of the carriage, the handle on the door is also gilded, and behind the bowl window is hung a crimson lace gauze curtain. The carriage was pulled by four white horses with the same fur, which were vigorous and powerful. As one can imagine, they would never be ordinary aristocratic families.

In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man in an ordinary black uniform sits, with gray hair on the temples, a straight waist and a solemn expression

Minna rode closer, he didn't even move his eyelids, he still looked straight ahead, turning a blind eye to her Minna noticed that although his clothes were no different from the carriages of any noble family in Ito Castle, But the buttons on the clothes are gold, and there are faint patterns on them, but they are too far away to see clearly

Whose carriage is this? Whose carriage? Even the Chulov family may not have such a style, and the badge is specially hidden

Ming Na suddenly stopped, remembering that when she visited the palace a few years ago, the servants also had gold buttons on their clothes. The pattern seemed to be similar to the buttons of this carriage. Could he be a servant of the royal family?

Why did the royal family send a carriage and cover the body markings? Could it be that a certain prince came to visit his future parents-in-law and brother-in-law?

Ming Na secretly held back her laughter, handed the reins to the servants who were approaching, and went directly into the entrance hall of the house. There were two men standing upright, although they were dressed differently, but they were the same as the coachman outside. Look, but also have gold buttons

The younger one saw Mingna coming in and turned to look at her, but immediately turned back and looked straight ahead, just in front of the portrait of a certain Mrs. Cardo who was not very large

The housekeeper hurriedly greeted them, glanced cautiously at the two, and then saluted Minna: "Good afternoon, Miss Minna, why did you come so early?"

Ming Na will never honestly say that she is trying to avoid the three crazy women in the family: "I came here early because I happened to be free. Why, it's inconvenient?"

"No..." The butler seemed a little hesitant, "Because something happened suddenly, so the madam and the ladies didn't have time to come to see you, I'm very sorry, would you like to have some refreshments first? I think Master Feld. Would be nice to meet you, he's bored right now"

He frequently peeked at the two men when he spoke, but the other party didn't respond at all. Ming Na was a little curious: "Are these two guests? Why didn't you invite them into the living room? Aunt and cousins ​​have guests? I'm inconvenient. See you?"

The housekeeper was a little uncomfortable, but just blindly invited Ming Na in without answering her question. Ming Na guessed that the second prince probably didn't need too many people to know about his visit, so he followed the housekeeper without questioning

There are many maids in the hallway whispering and looking towards the stairs. I saw the butler brought people and hurriedly scattered. The butler paused and still led Ming Na forward. In particular, I was wondering if the second prince went to the Mandadi room on the second floor instead of going to the living room?

Just as she was about to walk away, she suddenly heard someone running downstairs and shouting, "Get the refresher! Miss Manda passed out!" Several maids ran around in a panic. rummaging through boxes

Minna was startled and asked the talking maid: "What happened? How did Manda faint?!"

The maid didn't answer Ming Na frowned and pushed her away, then ran upstairs and the butler yelled at her in a hurry to ignore it and ran to the door of Manda's room

The door suddenly opened from the inside, and a short figure rushed out. Seeing that she was about to hit Ming Na, she quickly avoided it, reached out and hugged the figure and pulled it aside for a while, and the man stopped and raised his head. , but it was an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy with big round eyes staring at her curiously: "Amazing! How did you do it?!"

Could this kid be Feld? Before Ming Na could think about it, she heard Lilith's shrill voice from inside the room: "Quick! Where's the refresher? Get it! Oh, my child, wake up, there's no time for you to faint now. !”

Ming Na rushed in quickly, Lilith was startled, stared at her and asked the phone easily: .Organize: "Why are you here?!" Ming Na ignored her and went to check the fainted on the sofa. Manda, she was wearing a fresh tulle dress, but her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and there were thin tooth marks on her lips. Minna quickly found a bottle of dark green liquid from the ring and opened the bottle cap. Shaking under her nose, the fragrance was so pungent that Manda snorted and opened her eyes: "Minna...Oh, mother..."

Lilith rushed over excitedly: "You're awake? Great, what's going on?! How could you faint?!"

Manda sniffed the fragrance a few times, but her face suddenly turned white, and she said in pain: "My waist... I'm almost out of breath..."

Ming Na turned her gaze to the other person's waist and found that Manda was tied with a girdle that was about a foot wide, supporting her chest, and a dozen or so thin belts behind her were tied extremely tightly, which made her even more complimenting her. The chest is big and the waist is thin, but the waist is a little too thin. It seems that Ming Na, who was desperately striving, quickly took out a knife and slashed the thin belt. When the belt broke, the waist seal was loosened, and Manda breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Minna"

"What is this doing?!" Lilith screamed at this, "Manda managed to squeeze her waist so thin, and now it's all in vain!"

Na Wenyan frowned: "Is it the aunt who asked Manda to tighten the waistband so tightly?!" Although I have long heard that the noble ladies of Ito Castle sometimes try to make their waists appear thinner, The chest is fuller, and she will wear special tight underwear. She would rather endure the pain and build a proud figure, but it was the first time she saw a real person play her, and she did not understand. Manda has never been like this. people

Manda took her hand: "It's not my mother's responsibility, she's just here to help me"

"Help you?" Ming Na was dubious, and suddenly remembered the carriage downstairs. "Is it related to those three stern people? Did Prince Selig not come? Those people are royal servants?"

Manda bit her lip and replied, "Her Royal Highness specially sent them to invite me to the West Palace to attend the flower viewing tea party, so...I just want to dress up a little..."

"Have you heard?" Lilith raised her head proudly. "You don't have to worry about my daughter! Get out of the way! Because of you, she has to change her underwear!" Na pushed away, pulled Manda's girdle down vigorously, and directed the three or four maids present to find other girdle

Ming Na looked at this scene and was a little dumbfounded: "But...why do you have to dress like this when you enter the palace for a tea party? Isn't afternoon tea a very casual social occasion?" ?

"Because it's not just her who was invited" A cold voice suddenly came from the corner of the room. Minna was startled and turned her head to look, it turned out to be Beryl

She was wearing a silver-grey tight-fitting long dress with delicate white floral gauze trims on the neckline and sleeves. She looked quiet and elegant. Her long hair was rolled up high, revealing a swan-like white The neck and neck, the more prominent her beauty is, but it is a pity that the indifferent expression on her face makes people feel unattainable

She sneered: "Mother asked about those two attendants, and at the same time, there were six other young ladies who were invited, most of them were famous noble daughters in the city, and they were very talented in appearance, figure and knowledge, and two other provinces. The lady from the noble family, I heard that Manda, who is also the mother of a peerless beauty, will lose to them, so I tried my best to dress Manda as beautiful as possible.”

Manda lowered her head in shame upon hearing this, but was immediately reprimanded by her mother: "Breathe in! Hold your breath!" She forced the pain to do so, but Ming Na couldn't bear to see it: "Aunt, you do this , Manda won't be able to take it!"

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it! For the sake of her so-called love, if you can't even endure this bit of pain, how can you beat other competitors?!" Lilith ordered Manda to breathe again, and even pushed the maid away to do it herself , put the thin belt on her daughter's girdle as far back as possible, and swayed Ramanda's body, and a maid immediately supported her.

Ming Na couldn't help but said again: "But she can't even breathe like this, how can she drink tea and eat snacks? What if she faints in the middle of the tea party?!"

Lilith had a meal in her hand, thinking about the possibility in amazement, Manda said, "I don't need to eat..."

"Even if the queen invites you to eat, don't you eat it?" Ming Na glared at her, "Don't be stupid! It's not like the queen hasn't seen you before, this practice is useless except to make you suffer. !”

"I said it a long time ago" Beryl threw a cool sentence over, "If the Second Highness can see beauty in his eyes, why would he choose Manda? So you can rest assured that he will never Because Manda's waist is two inches thinner, she will be regarded as a fairy, and she will not be thrown aside just because her figure is inferior to other young ladies. As for talent and temperament, it is too late to work hard now"

"Beryl!" Lilith reprimanded her eldest daughter in displeasedness. "If you have time to speak sarcastically there, why don't you come and help!"

Beryl leaned against the window and glanced back at her coldly, then turned back to look out the window, and then walked to the closet. She threw her gauze skirt on the bed and said, "The future prince and concubine need not beauty, but a dignified and steady temperament and a generous and decent manner. Throw away the girdle and corset, wear this, walk steadily, Don't be bluffing all the time, or people will just take you as a joke!"

"Beryl..." Manda looked at her sister with some moving, but the latter ignored it and walked out of the door, ran into the boy who almost knocked down Minna just now, and glanced at him lightly , then turned around and went to the boy suddenly had a cold fight and rubbed his arms in a hurry

Lilith stared at the gauze skirt, hesitantly, Manda whispered beside her: "Mother, I'd better change it as soon as possible, the carriage has been waiting for a long time..." Lilith gave her a quick look before sighing He sighed: "Then wear it..."

It will be an hour later by the time Manda is dressed and ready to go

Minna looked down from the windowsill and saw that the carriage was still parked in front of the house. The driver's waist was still very straight, but the horse turned around a little uneasy. Behind her head, a silver ribbon was loosely tied, and she was wearing dignified pearl jewelry. Lilith walked around her daughter several times before she reluctantly nodded: "It may not be attractive to His Royal Highness, but It's a dress that my mother-in-law likes."

Manda blushed and asked in a low voice, "Can I go? It's been nearly three hours..."

Minna interjected: "I suggest you go out quickly, it's almost three in the afternoon, the tea party is about to start, right? It's not good to be late"

Lilith coughed a few times in displeasure, but still urged

Out of the door and watching the carriage carrying her go away, she suddenly felt a little T: in her chest: "Oh, God of Light bless, make sure everything goes well..." She looked back to see Ming Na, and said a little listlessly: "Sorry, I I'm a little dizzy, you need to go back to the room to rest for a while, you can do it yourself." After that, he left with the help of the maids

The crowd dispersed quickly. Ming Na looked at the empty surroundings, a little bored. She turned around and saw a window on the second floor. Beryl was leaning against the window and looking into the distance. There seems to be something indescribable

Ming Na was stunned and was about to call her when she heard someone calling her from the door: "It seems that you are Ming Na's cousin?"

Ming Na followed the voice and saw that it was the boy just now, standing on the steps proudly looking at herself

Clearly has a young face, but she learns to speak like a chengren. She finds it a little funny, but when she finds the other person's face showing displeasure, she hurriedly hides her smile and says very dignifiedly: "Yes, I am Ming. Naxiao... Cardo, who is your Excellency?"

The child was stunned for a moment, and he straightened his body involuntarily. He walked over to take Minna's hand and bowed to her very formally: "Nice to meet you, I'm Feldshaw... I believe Cardo. I belong to the same family as you, although I have never met, but I have heard for a long time..."

Ming Na finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Look at your words, this is your home, I'm your cousin, do you need to be so polite?"

The child's expression collapsed: "You are really...really...discreet!" He tried to straighten his face, but he couldn't bear to lose any more: "I did it according to the most formal etiquette rules, Why is everyone not cooperating with me?!"

"Because you're still a little boy!" Ming Na reached out and squeezed his little face, he immediately puffed up his cheeks and stared: "It's so rude! How can a lady treat a gentleman like this!"

Minna shrugged: "I'm not a lady anyway, even though my mother likes me very much." She took Feld and walked into the house: "I heard you've been spending the winter in the South before? Where? Can you tell me?"

Felder earned a couple of uncomfortable bucks, but finally sat on the sofa next to Minna: "It's okay to tell you, I went to Gutenberg, where my grandfather had a villa, I also went to Coral Island and Doro, and finally went to Ini to watch the circus"

"That's great!" Ming Na immediately became interested, "I went to those places when I was a child, and Grandpa took me there! Grandpa also has a small villa on the coral island! You also caught it by the sea Any fish? Did you go into the water? How many pearls did you find?"

Felder looked envious: "Did you catch it? Have you ever been in the water? Find pearls in the sea? It's amazing!" My father sold it in 2010, and now the owner has built a villa there and built a fence, I can't go there. Fortunately, a friend who also owns a property there is willing to host me and my grandfather, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play there."

"Sold?!" Ming Na regretted, "Why? There are so many beautiful beaches and private ports. You must know that there are only two places in the whole coral island that have ports, and the private ones are only That one! There's a lot of beautiful coral on the beach, and even the shells are bigger than anywhere else!"

"Stop talking, the more you listen, the more saddened you are" Feld lowered his head, "I protested to my father, but he scolded me for only playing..."

Minna patted his head: "Okay, let's talk about something fun, you went to Doro and Ini, was it fun? You also watched the circus? It's good~IndoMTL.com~ I haven't seen it. , the first time I went to catch up with the off-performance period, and then I was in a hurry and didn't see it as "it was when she was on a mission

"Have you been to Italy?"

"I've been there, I've lived in the Magic City for a few years"

"Really?!" Feld widened her eyes and grabbed her hand, "Tell me, are there a lot of magicians there? I've heard that people there make fun toys, But my grandfather wanted to stay in Yini to see old friends, and he didn't allow me to go out alone, so I wanted to buy a few pieces."

Ming Na smiled: "It's okay, I have it there, I'll send you two pieces later"

"Long live!" Feld jumped up with joy, and suddenly caught sight of the butler appearing outside the living room door, poking his head, hurriedly sat down again, coughed a few times, and lowered his voice: "Tell me about it. Well, what's the fun in there?"

Minna chatted happily with her little cousin, and didn't stop until nearly evening. At this time, the sound of hooves and wheels came from outside the door. The servants quickly greeted them, and Feld looked around and said: "Father and brother are back!" He took Minna's hand and ran out: "Father! Brother!"

A servant quickly ran over to open the door for Elon. Elon got out of the car with a smile and hugged his young son: "How was your day? I ordered you to cook your favorite food tonight"

"Great! Thank you dad!"

Beiwen has been smiling and watching his younger brother act coquettishly to his father. Suddenly, he sees Ming Na, who seems to be staring at something. It's a little strange: "Ming Na is here, what are you looking at?"

Ming Na turned her head and smiled: "It's nothing" She followed the three male relatives back to the house, but couldn't help but turn her head again and looked at the servant who opened the door

He's actually here...

(Guess who?)
