Coventry handed the wooden box to the attendant and said with a smile on his face: "I am sure that Her Royal Highness the Princess will be very satisfied with your gift." ”

"It's easy to say, I don't know if Your Excellency the Marquis has anything else to say?"

While Liu Chengying spoke, she picked up the teacup.

The customs of the two countries are different, although England does not have the custom of serving tea to guests, but Coventry has somewhat guessed his intentions.

First he pretended to look at the sky outside the porthole, and then put on an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Your Excellency Count Liu, it was such a pleasure to talk to you, I have forgotten the time. Before I take my leave, on behalf of the beautiful Princess Margaret, I would like to extend a cordial invitation to her private party. ”

Liu Chengying frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to Coventry's request.

"I am also very honored to be invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Then he got up and arched his hand as a sign of send-off.

Coventry responded with English aristocratic etiquette, and after a few polite words of hypocritical affection, he left the ship with a priceless gift.

When Coventry walked out of the cabin door, Liu Chengying snorted coldly and said to the guards: "Let Zheng Qianhu strengthen vigilance, and be sure that someone will patrol for 12 hours without interruption!"

The guard said "yes" and walked out of the cabin quickly.

Sending the guards away, Liu Chengying moved her gaze to the chart hanging behind the copy, and muttered to herself: "Zhu Yunwen, where are you......"

When Coventry returned to the palace, he did not dare to delay, and hurried to Henry IV's study, where he presented the gift in front of him.

Henry IV took out a silk horse from the wooden box and stroked it as gently as a lover, "Well, old fox, this is a good thing. You can choose a set of porcelain and two pieces of silk from these chests as a reward. ”

Coventry bowed respectfully to him in thanks, and said with gratitude: "Thank you, my generous Majesty, for your reward, and I think my poor daughter will praise you without hesitation." ”

Henry IV was very pleased with Coventry's attitude. Although there may be reluctance, sometimes it is necessary to reward appropriately.

But if he knew that the old fox had privately accepted a whole box of bribes, he didn't know how he would feel.

"Old fellow, go and get Margaret's gift, and send it over quickly. and informed her that a banquet would be held in the palace tomorrow night, so that she could dress up well. ”

Coventry nodded and said, "Can you find some ladies to the banquet?"

"Oh, what's that to say?"

"I feel that it is better to have a grand ball than to feast on Count Liu alone. After all, they have several large ships, and if Count Liu is not taken, we can also start with the people around him......"

After a little thought, Henry IV understood his intentions. So with an intriguing smile, he said: "Coventry, you are really an old fox, do it, you can go now!"

After bowing to Henry IV, Coventry hurried to Margaret's bedchamber without stopping, and along the way he cursed the Lanchester family for their shamelessness, "Damn it! Treat me like an animal!"

When he arrived at Margaret's bedchamber, he respectfully presented the jewel and told her of Henry IV's thoughts, and repeatedly warned him to win the favor of Count Liu.

After hearing this, Margaret calmly agreed. She understands that her identity as a princess is not as glamorous as outsiders think, but there is more helplessness.

After Coventry had gone, Margaret said to the maid sorrowfully, "Hannah, how nice you would have been if I had been a commoner and not born into the royal family. ”

Hannah despised from the bottom of her heart, are you really so carefree as a commoner? Have you ever seen the hardships of a commoner for a full meal when you were clothed and fed?

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it on my lips. Hannah calmed down for a moment, showed an empathetic expression, and choked up and said to Margaret, "God, why would we let our poor little princess suffer such torture?" ”

Margaret was touched by her words, and sighed slightly sadly, "Alas~ Actually, I also know that sooner or later I will sacrifice for politics in my identity, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly~"

"Oh~O merciful God~ Why don't you come and save your miserable people? she's still a child~"

Hannah cried in agreement, tears streaming down her cheeks.

At this moment, she was very satisfied with her acting skills and felt that she was a genius.

Margaret saw Hannah crying for her plight, but she couldn't help but comfort her, "My little Hannah, don't grieve for me, this is my mission." As a woman, being able to marry a nobleman of a powerful empire is already a good ending. ”

After saying these words, Margaret picked out a fiery red gem from the gem box and stuffed it into Hannah's hand, "My little Hannah, you can no longer be with me in the future, you can take this gem, it will be my gift to you for your future marriage." ”

Hannah clutched the jewel in her hand, her heart beating rapidly, and she felt that happiness had come too suddenly. But it didn't take long for her eyes to be drawn to the jewel box.

Knowing Margaret's temperament, she knew that the opportunity to win greater benefits was in front of her. Then he threw himself under her long skirt and cried out with all his might, "No, my dear princess, Hannah will not leave you." ”

Margaret sighed and helped her up, gently wiped the tears from her face with her slender fingers, and said with sorrow: "Poor little Hannah, I am reluctant to leave you, but it is not for me to decide. After leaving the palace, find someone who loves you and live well. ”

"But, I can't do anything but serve the princess...... "Hannah performed hard in order to gain benefits.......

Looking at the maid in front of her, who had followed her since childhood, Margaret did not hesitate to open the gem box, took out two more gems and stuffed them into her hands, "Take these and sell them, it should be enough for you to buy a small manor in the countryside." While I'm not married yet, I can still give you some help, so get ready to go. ”

Hannah carefully put the gem away, and thought to herself, feeling that it would be difficult to obtain more benefits, so she stopped pretending.

Then she pretended to be grateful and said to Margaret: "Hannah will never forget His Highness's kindness to me, Your Highness, rest first, and I will make you some desserts." ”

Margaret was in the mood for dessert, and waved her hand directly and sent her away.

Walking out of the dormitory, Hannah suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but quickly returned to normal. The reason is that she remembered a sentence said by a senior, that is, "Where are the good people in the palace?" ”

While thinking about it, I walked and unconsciously came to the location of the palace gate. As she was about to walk out of the palace, she suddenly felt her ass grabbed hard.

He looked back angrily, only to find that it was his old friend who was teasing him.

"Hehe, my little beauty, where are you going in a hurry?"

Hannah gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Yo~ It turned out to be Jack's chief guard!

Jack stared at her towering breasts and replied excitedly, "Of course, little beauty, I don't know if we have time tonight, how about we go and discuss life?"

Anna stepped forward in a charming way, and whispered in his ear, "10 o'clock in the evening, the old place ......"
