The enchanting duke's only wife

Chapter 152 The Shocking Scandal (2)
"I..." Ye Jue looked up at Xu Nuo with a helpless expression on his face, as if he hadn't regained his composure, he subconsciously took a step back to distance himself from Xu Nuo, "Why did I agree to you!"

"Sorry!" Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows.

"I'm worried that I will be chased and killed by people all over the world in the future." Ye Jue even shuddered cooperatively, "If such a monstrosity is brought back home, do you want to live?"

"You... just take care of yourself!" Xu Nuo really wanted to give her a chestnut, but in the end he couldn't bear to take back the right hand that was about to strike, and pulled Ye Jue with his left hand, "Let's go, it's almost time .”

"Oh." By the way, the tension of going to see the queen faded away, Ye Jue was dragged into the car in such a daze, followed the promise and bypassed the tourists and entered the palace where the queen lived.

"Duke Rex, Miss Ye, please wait a moment, I will go in and inform His Majesty." The queen's deacon is a gray-haired old man who seems to be not young, but his movements are not slow at all.

The reception room was ordinary beyond Ye Jue's expectation, without any exaggeration or aristocratic emphasis.

"NOIR!" The door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and accompanied by a cry of surprise, a woman quickly stepped forward and hugged Xu Nuo.

The movements are natural and intimate, as if he is already used to greetings like this.

Xu Nuo was still holding Ye Jue's hand, so he hugged Ye Jue back with the other arm as a gesture of politeness.Subconsciously looking at Ye Jue, she thought she could see a trace of jealousy, but it was only full of excitement.

Because this woman who rushed over is really the protagonist of a lot of news now, Princess Kate.

"You are that J!" After Kate let go of her promise, she happily rushed up to hug Ye Jue again.The huge difference in figure and height made Ye Jue a little sad by her strong and warm hug.

Subconsciously grabbing the hand that was holding her, Xu Nuo immediately helped to remind the princess that they were waiting for the Queen's reception.

"Oh, I forgot! Today is indeed a big day." Kate's demeanor was different from that of the overly strict court nobles, with a natural and free and easy attitude, which made Ye Jue quite fond of it.

"I'll let you off today. But next time, you must have a good chat with J! The legendary designer!" After imprinting a kiss on Ye Jue's cheek, Kate waved her hand very openly. Leaving the reception room, "I admire you very much, don't let me down."

Ye Jue probably guessed what she was referring to, ignored the sudden intimacy just now, nodded stiffly, pulled out a forced smile, and was relieved after watching her disappear.

"It seems that I have to be on guard against women..." Xu Nuo sighed suddenly, took out his handkerchief and wiped the place where Ye Jue's face was kissed just now, "Although I really want to I'll disinfect you now, but I don't want to kiss Her Royal Highness indirectly."

"Pfft!" Ye Jue couldn't help laughing, "Master Duke, aren't you used to her intimacy? How can you not even have the ability to predict such a possible situation?"

"I really want to have one too, but it seems that my dear fiancée is more attractive, and something unexpected happened to me." Xu Nuo said solemnly, then threw the used handkerchief into the trash can, "Also, if something like this happens again next time, I will not only disinfect this kind of place. I will clean you up, inside and out."

Ye Jue assured that since she knew Xu Nuo, she has never been so afraid of his words.This was the first time that she guessed what he was referring to from Xu Nuo's straightforward eyes... Moreover, she was also afraid that he would do what he said.

"Both, please come in." The appearance of Mr. Deacon finally made Ye Jue heave a sigh of relief.

In the queen's study, or the temporary office, facing the door is a huge wooden desk, which is filled with various sorted letters and documents, which shows that she is busy.Ye Jue carefully looked at the aged queen who was exactly the same as in the TV photo, and carefully gave a slightly clumsy salute under Xu Nuo's eyes.

The majesty of the king has not faded with her age, Ye Jue is still almost overwhelmed with just one look.On the other hand, Xu Nuo still stood calmly, with that insincere smile still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"This is J?" She sat at the talking table, looking at Ye Jue with dim eyes.

"Yes." Xu Nuo nodded, "My fiancee."

"Before I admit it, she is not yet." The tone was the same as Ye Jue guessed.

"Your Majesty," Ye Jue took a deep breath and said slowly, "I think engagement is just a matter between the two of us."

"You should know that a duke's marriage is not a child's play." The queen said coldly, "A duke is worthy of a marriage that paves the way for his own power."

"Then, in your Majesty's eyes, isn't there a marriage based on love?" Ye Jue asked, "If you sacrifice your happiness for the rest of your life just to pave the way, such a marriage is nothing more than a shackle!"

She had naturally heard all kinds of rumors about Prince Charles and Princess Diana back then, but until today she really felt that perhaps the person who really broke them up was Her Majesty the Queen with distorted concept of marriage.

However, for her in such a position, this is also a hidden rule that she has to follow.After reigning for so many years, the queen's identity is both shackles and power. She has the ability to see through the previous relationships of these nobles, and she also knows what is the most effective way to protect herself.

All you can use around you are weapons to protect yourself.

Marriage is one of them.

"Then, from what standpoint do you say such words?"

"Since I promised Duke Rex to marry him, I will be his fiancée." Ye Jue glanced at the promise, which was frowning unhappy because of his title, and stretched out his hand to hold his arm to express comfort.

"Because of love?"

"Naturally." Ye Jue nodded, feeling the suddenly stiff body of Xu Nuo beside him, and patted him lightly with amusement.It seems that every time the word "love" is mentioned, it makes him extremely sensitive.
