The Royal Princess''s birthday was definitely not a small thing in the past. In the feudal period, whenever the royal family''s birthday came, it was the time for nobles to cut meat. At least dozens of gold coins and more than thousands of gold coins were sent to the Imperial Palace, so that in some bad seasons, the income of the royal family was not as much as that of the direct members of the royal family on their birthdays, which was one of the reasons for the proliferation of royal members. It is said that after an emperor found that he could get tens of thousands of gold coins every birthday, he began to make a big fuss for the royal family''s birthday and invited nobles.
Later, after the power minister ascended the throne, he ordered the royal family to reduce the requirements of plundering wealth from the nobility under the name of birthday parties, and killed some royal branches in the name of persuading the emperor to organize banquets and blackmailing ministers, which cooled the momentum of the royal family to organize all kinds of banquets. After MARGES came to power, some new requirements were added on the basis of these decrees. For example, adult royal family members are not allowed to organize large-scale banquets to collect gifts, and only minor royal family members and important birthdays can operate. Many rules have completely smashed the royal family''s way to make money through "court banquets".
If it hadn''t been for Maggs to make these regulations, the palace would be like a hotel today. As long as you spend money, you can come in and hold all kinds of banquets.
This is the princess''s adult birthday. Of course, it should be handled. After all, this is the last time she can celebrate her birthday in the spotlight. At present, the royal family''s financial problems are a little severe, and it can no longer provide these less valued children to maintain a luxurious life. This also means that from today on, part of the expenditure of her royal highness will depend on her efforts.
It''s the consensus of the royal family. Without Maggs, everything would not be what it is today.
Magus, deeply hated by the royal family, was smoking outside the banquet hall with Turin. Of course, if they insisted on smoking in the palace, no one would say anything, but it was about upbringing and decency, so they took the initiative to leave the palace.
Margus looked at Turin with a calm face and asked with a smile, "do you feel nervous?"
Du Lin glanced back at him, flicked the ash with his head down, patted his pants, and then raised his head and replied, "nervous? What''s that?"
"You know what I mean!"
Dooling smiled, shook his head and said, "No, although she is a princess, I''m not nervous. It''s not that I''m too arrogant. I don''t think anyone among my peers, including smaller or larger people, is better than me. Those people should be nervous. They have a better foundation than me, but now their success is far less than me. They should be nervous, not me." , he took a deep breath of his cigarette, and the hidden flame on the cigarette end was brighter. While spitting out the smoke, he smiled and said, "moreover, I''m not going to marry a Royal Princess."
His answer aroused some interest. He couldn''t help asking, "didn''t you say that I wanted to introduce the Royal Princess to you last time?"
"Yes, I said.", Du Lin casually inserted his cigarette butt into the white fine sand specially used to extinguish cigarette butts. At the moment he inserted it, there was no more smoke and anger. He reincarnated and looked at MARGES and unbuttoned his coat. He was a little hot. "I just said to play. Now everyone knows that the Royal ship has sunk. Do you think I will get on the ship?"
Margus sighed, "Why are you always so realistic? It''s not good to be a little romantic. Just cheat me, an old guy?"
The current royal family is no longer the royal family in the past. MARGES cut off most of the royal family''s income sources, did not give them too loose environment, and let them face financial problems all the time. In this way, they will not have time and money to play some funny tricks. Secondly, the royal family has no real power in their hands, and they have completely become the emperor The mascot of the country, even these bodyguards in the Imperial Palace, can''t be called. This is a warship that has completely sunk in the long river of history. Even if it was extremely brilliant and shining in the past, it also sank at this time.
People don''t have much interest in the sunken ship, and there are no treasures on it.
Now the only thing the royal family can do is the "royal family" This is the name. In recent years, most royal family members have left the Imperial Palace and the imperial capital to find a life outside. These people live well as long as they have no brain problems and are not so greedy. According to the information statistics of a department specially used to manage royal family members, most of the royal family members who have left in these years are engaged in the education industry. They don''t know Few people live a fairly good life in the name of an honorary director or honorary president of an education enterprise.
People, especially the middle class, have a deep yearning for aristocracy. When they hear that the honorary director or president of an aristocratic school is a serious Royal member, they pay huge tuition fees without blinking, and then put their children in. In fact, most of these aristocratic schools are very young and the only one who can get it Perhaps only the decoration of the school and the royal family are left.
Others live a poor life. Not every member of the royal family can still live so well after leaving the wings of the royal family.
Margus promoted the reform of the royal family, which greatly reduced the size of the royal family. Even some new generations, that is, some royal members with royal blood of his Majesty''s grandchildren, voluntarily gave up to register their identity at the request and persuasion of their parents. In the feudal era, the royal status was an honor, but in this increasingly competitive society, sometimes the Royal background would not give these people any necessary and powerful help, but would become a burden on their promotion.
Compared with the hundreds of royal family members who could be gathered casually in the past, there are less than 50 royal family members in Yaoxing Empire, including grandpa''s generation and grandpa''s father''s generation.
The two men smoked and turned back to the palace, waiting for a while.
The bright Jewel Crown glittered with charming luster under the light. However, it is said that this crown was temporarily rented from the jewelry company for today''s birthday party. The crown used by the royal family and two princesses was later auctioned. After all, the royal family has had a hard time these years.
The princess''s debut was amazing, especially the pair of white and tender melons, almost squeezed out of the round neck, but her waist was very thin. Aristocrats have some inexplicable aesthetic places. For example, they prefer girls with thin waist, but they are required to be very plump, and they also need to have enough qualified body. Therefore, there is such a thing as waist binding. Squeeze most of your upper body into your chest and make sure there is no more excess fat on your waist.
Women''s rights organizations call for the abandonment of this bad habit. Some ladies, including Mrs. Vivian, agree with this very much and abandon this unequal dress standard - in their view, this dress is not to make themselves more beautiful, but is specially used to please men, so it is a bad habit, unequal and discriminatory, Should be eliminated.
Dooling rubbed his nose and blinked, more sure it was definitely not what he wanted.
The whole birthday party was carried out according to the process. During this period, the queen also appeared once. Compared with the green and astringent appearance of the princess, Du Lin felt that the queen was in line with his aesthetics. What made Du Lin feel interesting was that he found that there seemed to be something between MARGES and the queen. From the Queen''s appearance, to her friendly and simple communication with the nobles, to her departure, she never spoke to MARGES, or even looked at him. Similarly, when the Queen appeared, margus became a little silent and talked less. He also didn''t look at the queen once.
When two people ignore each other, there must be a problem between them.
If it''s not hate, it''s love.
A philosopher said that hate is an alternative expression of love, so there is only love between them. In addition, it is said that the queen was introduced by margus to his majesty. If there is no problem, he won''t believe killing Turin!
When durin looked at margus, there was something else in his eyes. This is the winner of life.
When the birthday party comes to the end, it is the link of gift giving. Because of the existence of margus and his decrees, people no longer simply send money to show their respect for the royal family, nor do they compete for the higher value of what they send. Now they are very clear that what they send today may appear in a second-hand store tomorrow, so the best thing they send, It doesn''t make sense. Instead of paying attention to the princess on the price of gifts, it''s better to give something meaningful, such as a vase, or a good-looking sterling silver mirror, or some other small, meaningful and inexpensive things.
Dooling chose a book.
"Is this your present?"
A young man beside Du Lin suddenly interrupted. He looked at each other. He was a very ordinary young man. Of course, this ordinary is only relatively speaking. How many ordinary people can enter the palace to attend the princess''s birthday party? Facing this unexpected and curious question, Turin nodded and explained with the same smile, "books are a valuable medium for recording knowledge. Knowledge is priceless and will benefit people for life."
"It''s not like money. It''s gone when it''s used up. It''s not like a dress. It always fades."
"It will always be a valuable asset and will accompany people''s life. At any time, when you need it, you will find how meaningful it is to read a book you need."
The young man nodded and asked, "so is that why you sent a color Qing novel?"
