Chapter 320: Supreme Glory

The old lady has always been the backbone of the Windsor Royal (Wang Room), and it can be said that half of the prestige of the Royal today is based on the hard work and dedication of the old lady and his wife over the past decades.

Queen is 83 years old this year, but no matter how old a woman is, jewelry crowns are their most loyal friends.

With a white long-sleeved gown, a small silver pouch and a ribbon shawl, she wore her beloved ruby flower crown, which was a gift from Myanmar because of its bright colors and flower patterns, which was perfect for banquets.

In order to echo the crown, the necklace around the old lady's neck is also linked by large rubies.

Her arrival made everyone in the hall suddenly solemn and silent, and wherever she passed with a smile on her face, the men bowed their heads in greeting, and the ladies bowed their knees one after another.

Arthur and Eddie were no exception, but something happened that everyone didn't expect, including Arthur himself.

As the old lady walked past Arthur and Eddie, she stopped with a kind smile on her face and smiled at Arthur, who was looking up after bowing his head and saluting.

"Count Boleyn, have you come all the way?"

"Hello to Your Majesty, yes, thank you very much for the invitation, and I wish you a Merry Christmas. ”

To tell the truth, Arthur was really very surprised and flattered, and he regained consciousness in an instant, and replied very respectfully and thanked him.

Arthur was not surprised by the old lady's abrupt topic, for the butler Paul had told him that under normal circumstances, the old lady would start the conversation with a very simple question: "Have you come from afar?" or "How are you doing?"

Once this question is asked, the next step is to talk about the means of transportation, how to ride, and the comfort of the journey.

In fact, just as the housekeeper Paul told him, the old lady's second question was the means of transportation, and Arthur answered it very respectfully, and the smile on the old lady's face was very kind from beginning to end.

And the scene of the old lady stopping to chat with Arthur has become the absolute focus of the entire hall, whether it is the guests who know Arthur Boleyn or not, at this time, for Arthur Boleyn, everyone present has a new understanding.

Eddie, who was standing next to Arthur, maintained an elegant ladylike posture throughout the whole process, respectful and nervous, and watched the old lady and her brother chatting cordially with surprise.

And the content of the chat surprised Eddie even more, she couldn't have imagined that the old lady turned out to be a loyal reader of Arthur's "Boleyn Manor", and not only liked the plot, but also focused on the objects used by the characters in the book.

He even corrected Arthur of the historical fallacy. For example, the officer described in the book wears a medal that does not conform to historical facts. The era is set in World War I, but the medal worn by that officer did not appear until after World War II...

What flattered Eddie even more, and what made her feel excited was that the old lady actually chatted with her for a few words, and even asked about the filming progress of "Boleyn Manor" and encouraged her to perform well.

For five minutes, the old lady and Arthur chatted for five minutes, which almost shocked all the guests present, including the family behind the old lady, Arthur's heart at this time could not remain calm, and he was also extremely shocked in his heart, full of joy and doubt, but in any case, this was a supreme honor for him and the Boleyn family.

Respectfully, sending the old lady and her family on, Arthur could clearly feel that everyone who walked in front of him was looking at him with curiosity and scrutiny.

However, Arthur didn't care at all, the previous excitement had long calmed down, and he was neither humble nor arrogant with a calm and elegant smile, calmly smiling with everyone who cast a smile on him, as long as people have strength, they have self-confidence, and they can only get the respect and admiration of others if they have strength.

All the invited guests walked into the splendid restaurant in pairs in pairs, quietly and orderly, following the steps of the old lady's family.

In the middle of the two long rows of tables, there are large blooming flowers, golden candlesticks shine in the light, and each chair is about 45 centimeters apart, and the chairs are at an equal distance from the table, and the hundreds of glasses placed on the table are also equally distant.

Around the table, there are 19 service stations, each with a waiter, valet, butler and wine butler, who use a traffic light system to coordinate the process.

When everyone was seated and the dinner officially began, the old lady gave the first speech to welcome all the guests. It was very cordial and brief, and after a round of applause, everyone sat down and began to eat.

The whole dinner is really important, you have to sit upright all the time, never lean your back on the back of the chair, you can't make a sound when eating and drinking, you have to be very careful when touching the dishes with knives and forks, you need to talk to the people around you in a low voice, and at the same time you have to listen to and respond to the music played by the bagpipers.

There are many cumbersome etiquettes to pay attention to and abide by when participating in the royal banquet, and there are two most important principles, the first is that when the old lady stands up, everyone must stand up, and the second is that after the old lady stops eating, everyone, whether they have eaten or not, must stop!

The dishes for tonight's dinner are also formulated by the old lady herself, very rich, not as I was worried before, and the dark cuisine served in the British style...

Steamed halibut fillet with watercress mousse, asparagus and sauce. Seasonal Windsor lamb tenderloin with spices, seasonal vegetables and sauces. Strawberry shortbread with lemon marbian nai oil.A selection of fresh fruits, coffee and fancy pastries.

ALTHOUGH THE OLD LADY SPENT DAYS PLANNING THE DINNER, SHE STILL "ATE FAST". According to royal etiquette, guests are not allowed to continue their meals after the Queen has finished eating.

So, when the old lady finished the meal, everyone including Arthur ended the meal quietly and orderly, and the dinner was over, and then it was dance time.

。。。。。。。

It wasn't until about half past ten in the evening that Arthur left the castle with Eddie, who was smiling brightly, and returned to the hotel by car.

Looking at Eddie, who was very happy because he had made many new friends, the corners of Arthur's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled meaningfully, I have to say that the chat with the old lady that focused everyone's attention did have a very big effect.

At the subsequent ball, the siblings became the focus of attention after the old lady's grandson and granddaughter, and people constantly came up to invite them to dance, and Arthur's first dance was with the old lady's granddaughter.

It's a pity that the other party is not Arthur's dish, and Arthur doesn't want to have too many entanglements with the female juniors of the old lady's family, not only in terms of appearance, but more importantly, it is not safe and easy to be four-by-four, so it is less subtle. . .

However, it was Eddie who surprised a lot of gentlemen of the younger generation of nobles, which was also a surprise.

What makes Arthur happiest is that he re-established contact with a group of old nobles, and once again received a hunting invitation from the old lady's old son, and everyone agreed to hunt foxes together tomorrow.

This is undoubtedly another big gain for him to come over this time, because if he wants to give his younger brother Edmund a future, the connections in this circle are the most important!
