Chapter 0520 - Willing to be a supporting role
The last two days of the Grand Ducal Castle are the busiest time of the year, and even the little Luxembourg has become jubilant.
When the royal families and nobles of various countries travel, they are indispensable to be surrounded by housekeepers and servants, and there are quite a few family members.
In the past few days, just the food and accommodation of these people can generate a lot of income for Luxembourg.
Most of them have already arrived by the time they arrive, and they come a few days early every year to walk around Luxembourg as if it were a tourist holiday.
Luxembourg's climate and cosy environment make it ideal for relaxation.
Let these big people who have always lingered in the lights and wine in the past have a good time to relax for a few days and enjoy the comfortable pastoral scenery.
As soon as I arrived at the Grand Duke's Castle, I happened to meet a couple who came out of it, the viscount from the Netherlands, who was still related to the queen.
After greeting each other, Mary behaved not salty, and the two left in a funny way, looking a little embarrassed.
"When I was going to marry you, they said I was crazy and persuaded my mother to make sure I agreed to the previous marriage. On the way in, Mary said casually.
"You should have told me in advance, I was too enthusiastic just now. Hearing this, Li Zitao joked playfully.
"Have you shown enthusiasm?" said Mary, glancing at him, not knowing how good to say about him.
The smile on his face just now was fake like a wax figure, and he was completely coping with an errand, compared to those two people, he felt very uncomfortable now!
Looking at her current life, who doesn't envy the royal princess of the same age as Mary, there is nothing better than her marrying.
If you talk about false fame, there are a few who are married to dukes, but what kind of life do they live every day?
Follow the rules every day, not so much as husband and wife, but two familiar strangers who maintain mutual respect and sleep with different dreams.
The youngest of those dukes is also in their sixties and twenties, can they still have any twilight love sparks with him?
Not to mention the pairs of eyes beside her, none of them are easy to get along with, and they are all watching her every move.
It would be good if the old duke could still 'smell the chickens and dance', and if he was pregnant and gave birth to an heir, he would not have to worry about the second half of his life.
Otherwise, when the old duke kicks his legs, he will look at people's faces in the Duke's palace and live as a widow for half his life!
It's okay to remarry, the previous dowry is the property of the Duke's Palace, and you don't even want to take away a headdress except for the other ones you wear.
Don't even think about receiving the monthly money from the family fund, get out of here!
Don't think that foreign royal families don't have these intrigues, and the old witches are not fuel-efficient lamps when they are demons.
The last time I chatted with my sister, Little Mary said that I don't know how many people envy her now, saying that she had a vicious eye and saw that Li Zitao was extraordinary and so on.
"Mom. "I saw the Grand Duke in the main courtyard, surrounded by a group of noble women, talking happily in a whisper, and I could hear a low chuckle.
Mary greeted her with a gentle smile, and Li Zitao held her arm on the side, and did not let go until he walked in front of the Grand Duke.
The eyes of the ladies who saw this move lit up, and they said in their hearts, "Whoever says that Chinese men don't understand romance and don't have gentlemanly demeanor is a lie." ’
Li Zitao and Mary, the newlyweds, have been a hot topic at royal gatherings for nearly half a year, and more and more people envy them about their union.
People outside only say Mr. 3 billion, that is, they don't know the specific situation of Li Zitao's industry at all, and they just see the surface.
For these well-informed royal nobles, Li Zitao is now worth no less than 10 billion.
In a holding company of Lee's Bank alone, his shares are worth more than $3 billion.
The Blue and White Chamber of Commerce's Golden Arches and Alaska Standard Oil, that is, two 24-hour non-stop money printing machines.
S.H.I.E.L.D., AD-B's major shareholder, as well as the various research laboratories under his name, the aerospace giant of the United States, which of these companies are not worth hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
The more they think about it, the more unpleasant they become, when Mary was going to marry him, no one in the royal family was optimistic, and they were all declining.
Let's take a look now, who would dare to say that tens of billions of dollars are equivalent to Luxembourg's GDP for two years.
This is a rich country in the true sense of the word, and there is no need to mix any water.
When he looked at Li Zitao, his eyes lit up, and when he looked at the man next to him, his eyes instantly became full of disgust.
Li Zitao didn't pay attention, he was all about his wife, he came to the dinner party for one purpose, to give his wife a long face.
Today he is a supporting role, and everything he does is to cooperate with Mary, just to make people envy her life, and let those who laughed at her in the past, and the guys who looked down on people in the past, see who was blind in the first place.
"How many days?" said the Grand Duke with relief, looking at his daughter's belly.
"After about 150 days, the doctor said the child was healthy. Mary said with her hands on her stomach and caressing, her face revealing the light of maternal love.
"Well, if you are pregnant, you should pay attention to your usual movement and stop running around. "The Grand Duke also understands her daughter's temperament, and she has never been an ordinary woman.
Like her, she seems to be gentle and weak, but in fact, she is stubborn and strong, and she has restlessness in her bones, but her daughter sees problems more clearly than her, and she has a bigger belly.
"If I could be like her, I wouldn't be like now..."Thinking of her husband, the Grand Duke sighed in his heart.
"Are your brothers and sisters there?" Seeing that her mother's eyes were a little gloomy, Mary quietly changed the subject.
"Yes, with your grandmother. Speaking of this, the grand duke glanced at Li Zitao next to him, his smile was a little strange, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Does Mother have something to say?" Li Zitao asked curiously.
"It's not me, it's your grandmother who wants to talk to you... You'll find out when you go in. The Grand Duke didn't say it directly, but he also told the two that something was wrong, so that they might be mentally prepared.
If you have something to do with him, it must be business, and as long as you have investigated him, you must know that he is not interested in politics.
"Don't talk about politics. How many times did Li Zitao say this sentence openly and secretly, even he didn't remember it, as long as he did a little investigation, he should know it.
Following the servant to the living room, the Queen of the Netherlands was pulling Jean to say something with a kind face, and she knew that it was not a good thing to look at the wry smile in his eyes.
"Charlie, here you are. Seeing Charlie and Mary walking in, Jean stood up quickly, and the joy in his heart was written directly on his face.
was dragged by my grandmother and talked for a long time, so that I was about to fall asleep bored, but it was difficult to leave, and seeing the two of them was like seeing a rescuer.
"Yes. Glaring at the eldest brother, Li Zitao stepped forward to say hello first, stroked his chest and bowed and shouted, 'Her Royal Highness the Queen,' and she stretched out her hand to stop her.
"This is the house, there is only a grandmother, there is no queen. The queen smiled, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she was kind and unpleasant.
The more amiable he became, the more vigilant Li Zitao became, and suddenly he was so good that he was not used to it!
