Soon, the beautifully carved wooden door was opened by the servants, and then, accompanied by four gendarmes and four servants, His Majesty the King walked in with a solemn face, walked through the crowd without squinting, and sat down quickly after the servants pulled out the chair at one end of the long table.

"It's all family and friends here, no need to be polite, sit down!" With the king's words, everyone in the room came over and sat on either side of the 10-meter-long, luxurious table, with the princess and Grace on the left, and Major General Mayer's family on the right side of the long table.

The smell of meat, seafood, fruit and pasta, combined with Moroccan's favourite spices, whets whet your appetite in no time.

After a full ten minutes, the servants who were in charge of serving the food finished their work, bowed and bowed and left the room, leaving only two older male servants, who began to pour wine for everyone one by one, holding the silver round wine jug.

Although this is in Africa, the Moroccan royal family still maintains a lot of French aristocratic traditions, and then adds some Arabic customs elements, so Hou Rui is now stepping on a beautiful Persian carpet, sitting on a chair with gold wire upholstery, but in front of a full set of Western-style tableware, while the plates and bowls resting on the dining table are all Arabic silver round shapes, cleverly blending the two styles.

Of course, the royal family meal will not be eaten as soon as it comes up, so after the king has recited a pre-dinner prayer in a deep voice, everyone at the table seems to relax and begins to reach for the wine glass in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have welcomed a new friend today, Mr. Hou from the East, and this first glass of wine allows us to wish him a pleasant day in Morocco. After saying a few words, the king first raised his wine glass and looked at Hou Rui's side.

Forced by the king's prestige, everyone received a polite upbringing, and everyone at the table, no matter what he thought in his heart, all of them obediently raised their wine glasses, at least they saluted Hou Rui with a glass of wine on the surface.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, you were so welcoming, your trip to Morocco, everything was perfect. After opening his eyes and saying nonsense, Hou Rui raised his wine glass with a thoughtful and elegant demeanor, and after nodding to the king, he swept his eyes over everyone present, and first took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

"Jingle ......" accompanied by the sound of a string of crystal glasses colliding, after everyone put down the wine glasses, naturally picked up the knife and fork, began to choose the type that suits their own taste in the middle of the table full of food, first by the servants to put it on their own plates, and then everyone will start to cut into small pieces, in their mouths.

As the most honorable person at the table, the king doesn't take the initiative to speak, and other people naturally can't talk at will, so he ate like this for about 3-4 minutes, or the princess She finally broke the silence at the table, she barely squeezed out a smile, looked at Hou Rui and said, "Mr. Hou, are these dishes still to your taste?"

"Dear Princess, these dishes are delicious, and I am very happy to eat. Hou Rui, who was named, quickly put down the knife and fork, reluctantly bypassed a prawn, and replied in front of the princess's gaze.

"Then you can eat more of this apricot kuscus, my Aurora is my favorite dish. As she spoke, the princess couldn't pretend anymore, the corners of her mouth twitched, and tears immediately flowed, and she covered her mouth with her hands and whimpered.

"Touch!" Seeing that the atmosphere of the harmonious meal was ruined by the princess, the king instantly slapped the table and roared loudly: "What are you mentioning her for? Can't you finish this meal properly?"

"Eat, eat, eat, how do you tell me to eat?" was yelled at by the king, and the princess was completely out of her mind, and after she stiffened her head, she immediately turned her head back and shouted to the servants at the door: "Get out of here, let us talk happily." ”

Seeing that the princess, who had always been graceful, was furious, the servants naturally ran away immediately, and soon only these people at the table were left in this room.

Looking at the king with an extremely ugly face and being silent, the princess, who was completely devastated, simply stood up, looked at Hou Rui and shouted: "Now there are no outsiders here, everyone should know about Aurora, then I will ask directly, Mr. Hou, how far has you gone in rescuing Aurora, can you tell me about this poor mother." ”

"Princess, I ......" Hou Rui was about to answer, but the irascible king shouted first: "Why don't you sit down quickly, you stupid woman who is embarrassed." ”

"No, it's been two days, I still haven't heard from Aurora, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I'm going crazy. But the princess immediately roared back in a louder voice.

Although it is nominally free and democratic, but in fact, at the root, Morocco is still a traditional patriarchal country, the princess has been married to the king for more than 20 years, but this is the first time to confront him in person, and the embarrassed and angry king felt that he couldn't get on the stage for a while, and instantly smashed the crystal cup in his hand to the princess.

The king was less than two meters away from the princess's seat, and the smashed wine glass naturally flew in front of the princess in an instant, but it was impossible for Grace to sit back and watch her mother be beaten, so she was mentally prepared and threw herself on the princess's side and reached out to block the cup.

With a "snap", the glass hit Grace's palm, and it was still on her finger, making a striking wound, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the princess only loves her daughter, and she has absolutely no intention of offending you. At this time, Major General Meier, who was sitting across the table, finally spoke to dissuade him, but the king, who was still angry, twisted his face and spared the princess for the time being.

When everyone put down the knife and fork, Hou Rui quickly pulled out a napkin and handed it to Grace, so that she could use it to press the wound on her finger.

When he looked at the crying princess, the expressionless Grace, and the angry king, he kept beating the drum in his heart: What is going on, why does the king refuse to tell the princess about the news about Aurora, but the strangest thing is that the king hides it from the princess, why doesn't Grace reveal some news to her mother? It seems that this royal family is really shady!

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, and everyone who was still sitting at the table was "Look at me" and "I look at you", and everyone was waiting for the king to speak first, because before the king himself spoke, anyone who spoke rashly could provoke the wrath of thunder.

"Forget it, since this topic has been mentioned, Grace, tell this stupid woman the latest news!" After a while, the king's attitude finally softened, and he waved his hand.

"Yes, father!" Grace put her arm around the princess and patiently told her the news that Hou Rui had finalized the deal with the secret house, so that the princess finally stopped crying, and looked at Hou Rui with excitement, her lips trembling and not knowing what to say.

"Princess, these are what I should do, after today, I will carefully prepare for what will happen in three days, and strive to save Aurora smoothly. Without waiting for the princess to speak, Hou Rui preemptively blocked the conversation, he really didn't want the princess to thank him all the time, then he would only feel more ashamed.

"You know now, we have been working hard to save the shame of the Abdul family, and now put away your tears. After impatiently scolding the princess, the king immediately turned his attention to Hou Rui, and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Hou, you have done a good job, far exceeding my expectations, and next, Aurora's affairs will continue to bother you to help." ”

"I will, Your Majesty, but in three days' time, I will not be able to accomplish it on my own, and I will need the assistance of Major General Meyer. ”

"That's not a problem! Maier, this time it will depend on the performance of your gendarmerie units. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will select the most capable subordinates and cooperate with Mr. Hou to rescue Aurora. ”

"That's good, that's good!" muttered a few words, and the king stood up, threw his napkin down the table, and declared in a loud voice, "I have no appetite, so go on eating!"

After the king withdrew first, the princess was also carried away by Grace, so that only Hou Rui and Maier's family were left at the table.

Hou Rui, who didn't have enough to eat just now, was not polite, and after wrapping some prawns and chicken thighs on his plate, he opened his bow left and right and ate it.

Facing Hou Rui, a hungry wolf, Major General Maier just held a wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and looked at Hou Rui with thoughtful eyes.

However, the two sons of Major General Meier, they were far from having the bearing and composure of their father, and soon Oren, who was holding a grain of argan fruit between his fingers, snorted coldly: "Mr. Hou, did you run out of the refugee camp, how long has it been since you eaten?"

"......" Hou Rui took a bite of the chicken leg, and then tore it hard, and chewed happily with his eyes lowered.

"Mr. Hou, there is a lot of food here, you can eat it slowly, I bet, as long as you are given enough time, you can clean this table by yourself, and even help the servants save the trouble of washing the dishes. Seeing that Hou Rui didn't take care of himself, Oren started a second round of verbal sarcasm while playing with the argan fruit with his fingertips.
