1270 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Beatrice held the champagne glass in her hand and pretended to be enjoying a moment of peace and tranquility. But in fact, she did not drink the champagne in the glass. She just made a movement to hide her excitement and excitement. Quietly looking around at the guests, looking for the target person among the surging crowd.
But it's really not an easy task.
For a general large-scale banquet, 300 guests are the standard; but today's banquet had more than 500 guests. More importantly, all of them were important VIPs from the upper class, although Richard invited many Practitioners in the West End of London, but they also have very frequent contacts with the upper class.
Everyone knows how prosperous and top-notch Oscar night is, but compared with today’s private parties, it’s not at the same level..
It is undoubtedly difficult to find someone among the crowd. However, Beatrice still did not give up and searched endlessly. The emotions of expectation and anxiety were worrying about gains and losses, sweetness and bitterness. The taste is swirling on the tip of my tongue. It’s hard to sum up this feeling in words..
“Are you looking for me? "A faintly joking voice came over, interrupting Beatrice's search. She turned around, and then she could see the smiling faces of William, Kate, the prince and princess..
Beatrice curled her lips deliberately and clearly, showing an expression of disgust, "I don't want to complain about you in front of Kate and destroy your heroic image..”
“Don't worry. He doesn't have much image in my mind anymore. If it weren't for the media promotion, I would have been full of fire." Kate followed the joke with a smile on her face, and joined forces with Beatrice to complain. William.
William did not panic, and shrugged invisibly, "Because Harry is not here, you have shifted your target to me? This is not fair. Logically speaking, Harry should be attending today's party. , now everyone who sees me has an expression of 'Why did you show up?'.”
“Yes, why didn't Harry show up? I thought he was the most proactive one." Beatrice asked curiously..
“He was on vacation on a Mediterranean island. He was even in the Sun newspaper two days ago." William said lightly, and then Beatrice showed a look of realization, even if she didn't need further explanation, she already knew it. Understand. "What's more, the person attending the ceremony today is a man, not a woman. How could Harry be interested?？”
The unexplained gaze fell on Beatrice again, returning to the original topic..
Beatrice's cheeks became slightly hot, but she still straightened her back and said solemnly, "I like his performance. It's not a secret. You don't need to keep making explicit hints." Then she saw William's expression. With a meaningful look, Beatrice's cheeks became even hotter, "I also appreciate his charm. Isn't this a normal thing? Right, Kate.”
Kate, who was standing next to her, now opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, with innocence written all over her face, as if to say: Why do you want to involve me?？
There was a hint of pleading in Beatrice's eyes, "As a woman, to be honest, do you also think he is a very attractive man?"？”
Kate bit her lower lip gently and blinked slyly. Just when Beatrice thought Kate would not support her, she nodded, "Of course. At Christmas, I watched 'Les Miserables' ', he is indeed a charming man. Unfortunately, I only watched the first half that day, and I haven't had time to watch the second half until now..”
William complained calmly to the side, "He is only twenty-three years old."！”
Kate added more calmly, "When we first met, you were only nineteen years old..”
William put his hands behind his back and looked away, pretending not to understand the subtext of Kate's words and refusing to dwell on this topic any further..
A slight movement, in the eyes of outsiders, there is no problem at all, it is just a casual shift of gaze. Wherever William looked, everyone raised their glasses to signal; but the atmosphere of the conversation between the three people suddenly cooled down. For a moment, it seemed that it fell above the freezing point in an instant.
From the age of nineteen to the age of twenty-nine, from acquaintance to marriage, in fact, William and Kate have gone through ten years.
Some people say that Kate is a white lotus. In order to marry into the royal family, she has set her sights on William early on. Some people say that William is a playboy. In private, he is even more aggressive than Harry. He is not only rebellious, but also irritable. , Kate and William were separated and reunited, and finally walking into Westminster Abbey together was a kind of political consideration and compromise..
However, these are just gossips and speculations from the outside world. How many people can understand the truth of the matter?？
More importantly, those real insiders have kept their mouths shut. After experiencing the tragic marriage of Charles and Diana, the royal family has become much more cautious about the marriage of William and Kate..
Beatrice has long been used to it. However, because she is not a high-ranking heir, her life is not under the spotlight. She still maintains her ordinary daily life. She does not want to participate in it. , and have no interest in participating in it.
“Maybe, after our official meeting today, we can make a direct comparison." Beatrice was still joking half-jokingly, as if she didn't notice the fleeting undercurrent at all, and was still discussing "man charm" seriously. topic.
Kate also quickly withdrew her gaze, and the atmosphere melted instantly. She also said enthusiastically, "I am also looking forward to meeting him. To be honest, I have heard a lot of rumors, but I am not sure. He and Victoria, Is David any different?？”
Victoria-Beckham, David-Beckham）.
As new celebrities in London's upper class, they often appear at various high-end parties and can often meet..
“Oh, Kate." Beatrice did not answer, but sighed softly, as if Kate accidentally said the wrong thing..
There are no redundant words, but a huge amount of information is hidden. Such small details still show the difference between traditional aristocrats and emerging aristocrats. As for those people who suddenly appear in the upper class due to the sudden increase in wealth, then It's another level.
From a distance, William saw two figures coming hand in hand, with a playful smile on his lips, "Hey, Elizabeth, the gentleman's parents have appeared..”
William did it on purpose. Beatrice's middle name is Elizabeth. The middle name he called her at this time was obviously not chosen casually..
Beatrice and Kate both turned their heads, and then saw George and Elizabeth coming towards them..
Welcoming the Hall couple with smiles, they have become popular in London's upper class society in the past six months, but Kate raised her eyebrows lightly and said in a confused way, "Looking at it now, there is no difference..”
Although it was not directed at anyone, the three of them all knew that this was Kate's response to Beatrice's words just now. It means that there is no difference between the Halls and the Beckhams; further, it implies that the Halls There is no difference between the Er couple and those people who are struggling to join the upper class..
Beatrice didn't speak, but William said softly, "I can't tell now..”
Kate's eyes flashed slightly, and before she had time to respond, Mr. and Mrs. Hall had already arrived..
Beatrice took the initiative to shoulder the task of introduction. After all, she and Elizabeth knew each other. As the introducer, she made a brief introduction to both parties, and then everyone started talking happily..
There is no doubt that the manners and temperament of Mr. and Mrs. Hall are impeccable, restrained and elegant, noble and proud, confident and low-key. This demeanor is enough to prove the heritage of the hereditary nobility. In some details, they are even better than William. to be more outstanding.
After all, under Diana's open education, many of William and Harry's etiquette did not strictly abide by aristocratic habits, breaking the boundaries between the royal family and civilians; on the contrary, those declining nobles who had nothing still followed them meticulously Tradition and history provide education, put forward more stringent requirements, put on airs, and try to restore the lost glory..
Xixisuosuo.
Xixisuosuo.
The low voices began to become lively. Although the people attending tonight's party were all upper-class people, no one was making loud noises, and no one was causing chaos, but among the whispers, the bustling sound could still be clearly felt. , as if you can see the boiling water bubbling with the naked eye..
Then, one after another, the eyes were cast over, and they all fell on the Hall couple. Although everyone remained polite and just nodded, the excitement and excitement hidden deep in the eyes still slowly emerged, This makes the air begin to slowly roll and boil.
The back muscles of George and Elizabeth quietly tensed up. No one noticed, but the battle mode was already on..
No words are needed, things are already clear.
Looking in the direction of the crowd, you can see that the outlines of two figures are vaguely outlined in the golden light at the entrance of the main hall. Tonight's host, Richard, took the initiative to greet him and expressed his warm greetings. Welcome, but before he could take a step forward, someone took the initiative to come forward. Richard politely made an introduction, and several figures stopped at the door of the hall..
Not only that, starting from the exit stairs and extending all the way to the garden, everyone's eyes are ready to move, and the eager footsteps exude a faint commotion. The air begins to slowly stir up, and you can clearly feel that the entire The focus of the party is quietly shifting.
Everyone is deeply aware of that subtle change, and when they look at each other, the smiles on their lips can't help but rise. No one can deny that they are all looking forward to this moment. No one.
