Smiling, bowing, listening, occasionally talking, looking at each other, fluttering away.

Elizabeth still maintained a perfect demeanor, the nobility and elegance in her bones revealed a coldness, but like a crystal vessel, flawless, thrilling, white and slender neck wearing a series of necklaces arranged by light blue diamonds, the blue pendant extended to the chest, and burst out of an inviolable dignity.

"We shouldn't be here. This was the fourteenth time Elizabeth had repeated the same point, and with a perfect curvature on her face, she nodded to Princess Beatrice, who was not far away.

Today, Princess Beatrice was dressed up and showed a solemn treatment. A rose gold Versace dress, the combination of silk and lace outlines the girl's youth and the woman's charm/charm, embellished with pearl earrings and pearl necklaces, reflecting the cheeks that are still a little baby fat, revealing a touch of brightness and moving.

Elizabeth's fingertips shrank slightly, and the glass handle of the champagne glass could clearly feel her power.

Damn it.

Deep down, Elizabeth cursed in a low voice again, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but stiffen slightly. Everyone knows that Princess Beatrice is here for Lan Li, and it's an open secret.

George, standing next to Elizabeth, showed a gentleman's demeanor, wearing a dark gray dark checkered suit that carved the mature charm on his face little by little, and the faintly white gray sideburns were full of unique vicissitudes of charm, standing beside Elizabeth, like a match made in heaven.

"Don't complain like a child. You can choose to leave. George lowered his voice and responded in a deep guttural voice. There was inevitably a hint of impatience between the words.

The truth didn't need to be explained too much, he understood it, and she understood it.

Ever since Empire magazine revealed Lan Li's family history, things have been very different. In the past six months, George and Elizabeth have opened up the situation in the aristocratic class under the name of Lan Li, and their careers have made rapid progress, and their lives are now completely different.

Many children of the aristocracy have appeared at Barclays Bank, and asked George by name to be the fund manager to manage their family trust fund, and now George has become a "star figure" in the fund manager industry, becoming a guest of honor at parties large and small, and the scenery is infinite. Most importantly, he succeeded in opening up the market for young people.

It's hard to imagine how crazy the young aristocrats are at the party nowadays, which really opened George's eyes.

Elizabeth became the center of attention at art gallery gatherings, with aristocratic ladies and ladies vying to invite her to private tea parties, and she even became the president of a reading club and two appreciation clubs.

Even in aristocratic circles there were hierarchies, and now for the first time Elizabeth opened up the wider world.

It is a fact that the Hall family is a declining aristocracy, from economic conditions to fame in the circle. George and Elizabeth's work seems glamorous but it is actually difficult, and they have been struggling to make ends meet.

Now, they have managed to get back to the center of the circle. It sounds incredible, but it's true, not only did they not become a laughing stock, but they regained the life they dreamed of.

But all of this stems from Lanli's efforts and breakthroughs. It's a shame, even more so than a slap in the face. Because it proves their mistakes, and even more proves their ugliness and embarrassment. This is a kind of torture and blow for anyone, especially parents who are elders.

The scenery on the surface, the actual torment.

Whenever they try to forget the root source of all the scenery now, others remind them over and over again, and they have to smile and respond with grace and politeness. Accept all the humiliation again and again.

Today, the Earl of Oxford throws a private party. From a small private party to a large social party, and even the biggest banquet since 2013, an invitation has become a verification and affirmation of identity, and those who do not receive an invitation are bound to be secretly ridiculed.

George and Elizabeth must be present.

Because for the past six months, they have always behaved gracefully, because the aura and glory they have enjoyed before require them to appear at this party, because this is a boring circle, their every move can be interpreted and dissected, because their evasion will only become synonymous with cowardice, and even make it impossible for them to gain a foothold in the circle.

So, they attended.

Now no matter how much you complain, no matter how much you fear, no matter how much you worry, and then you retreat, you will fall behind.

"We can keep pretending that nothing happened and go on with our lives in peace, but do you think he will agree?" a sneer hung on the corner of George's mouth, "He has been waiting for this day for a long time, taking revenge on us, embarrassing us to our faces, and making us truly realize our mistakes." Do you think we can get away with our absence?"

He.

This he was referring to their youngest son, Ranley Sebastian Hall. But in their mouths, they are like strangers. The family bonds of the aristocracy are not even as good as the flattery of Vanity Fair.

From a certain point of view, in fact, the Vanity Fair of the aristocracy is not much more noble than the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, the only difference is that Hollywood is shown to everyone, while the aristocracy is shown to themselves.

Elizabeth pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, trying her best to control her emotions, the curvature of her mouth was still smiling, but the smile in the depths of her eyes was disappearing, "You mean, he planned all this? God, are you smart or stupid?"

George didn't speak, but picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of amber alcohol.

Elizabeth didn't wait for an answer, she raised her head, glanced at George's face, and frowned slightly, "Are you planning something? Are you crazy? The Duke of Cambridge is here at today's party, don't you know?

The Duke of Cambridge, also known as Prince William.

George had a cold face, "So what is your opinion?Flee the scene?Fall on deaf ears?Or do you show embarrassment?Have you forgotten the last opening party for the youngest son of the Dormer family? He has never been a guy who is content with his duties, and if he were, we wouldn't be in the predicament we are in now, and everything would not exist at all." What better ideas do you have, I'm waiting. ”

Elizabeth's pupils shrank slightly, and the words swirled on the tip of her tongue for a moment, "What's going on?" You should at least let me know in advance, otherwise I'll lose my temper for a while, so what should I do?"

George didn't sell it, but said in a deep voice, "Tonight, Viscount Bioford also received an invitation. I've confirmed that he'll be there. ”

The current Viscount of Bioford is named John-de-Biotford, the first Marquis of Bioford.

At the end of the fourteenth century, the title of marquis officially appeared, between the duke and the earl, but at that time, the marquis was not valued, the status and honor were not obvious, and they were not well known to the general public, even among the nobles, they were not very familiar.

At that time, the first Marquis of Bioford, who was removed from the title of Marquis during the reign of Henry VI, petitioned the House of Commons to restore the title of Marquis, but the Marquis himself voluntarily refused, believing that the title of "Marquis" should be treated indifferently.

It was not until the second half of the fifteenth century that the status of the marquis was gradually affirmed.

As for the Marquis de Bioford, he was later made a viscount, and according to the annals, he was the first nobleman in England to be made a viscount.

Although the viscount is only a title above the baron, the title of Viscount Bioford has a long history, more than five centuries of succession, and the current Viscount of Bioford, who is over 60 years old, has always wanted to recreate the glory of the British royal family and the respect of the nobility.

Because of his age and his title, in the aristocratic circle, he can be regarded as a "respectable" elder, at least, everyone is willing to give him face after the public, maintain the glory of Viscount Bioford, and at the same time give the noble class the corresponding respect and support. Even in the presence of junior characters like the Duke of Cambridge and Princess Beatrice, they wouldn't say much.

For Viscount Bioford, anything that undermined tradition was deeply hated, and he did not mind breaking the elegant manners of the nobility and scolding if the need arose. Of course, there are no foul words, but in the way of the aristocratic lord.

It is conceivable that when Viscount Bioford and Lan Li met head-on, the picture and scene were really too beautiful.

"Why?" was the first question that came to Elizabeth's mind.

The relationship between Viscount Bioford and the Earl of Oxford was not good, because Richard de Ville was also famous for his "unbusiness", and at every private party, the Viscount would catch the Earl babbling endlessly, and if he could, Richard would never throw himself into the net.

George said succinctly, "Word has been made that the Earl of Oxford is throwing a midsummer party to welcome the arrival of summer, and that Viscount Bioford thinks he should come out and take part in some banquets." The Earl of Oxford had to send another invitation. ”

Elizabeth tucked her chin lightly and said nothing more.

Not far away, the Duke of Cambridge appeared with the figure of the princess, and George and Elizabeth straightened their waists slightly and took the initiative to meet them.
