Chapter 345: Margaret's Background
PS: Traffic light please support! It's the end of the month, and I hurriedly cast a monthly pass......
For Margaret's surprise, Albert was a little unimpressed, wasn't it just a diamond-encrusted earring? It's a pretty good gift on a regular basis. But if it is compared to your own gift, it is much worse!
"Look, what beautiful earrings!" Abbott said sarcastically, "Yes! What's on top of this? Oh, I guess the traces of silver oxidation haven't been wiped clean, right? β
Albert reached out to touch the earrings, but Margaret dodged them without a trace.
Albert didn't think it was a pestle, and continued: "Mr. Yu, this gift can't be bought by you from a thrift stall, right?" Didn't take care of it! It's a pity for nothing that such a box is in vain. β
"Abbott!" Margaret said angrily: "It's not your turn to talk about the gift you gave me here!" β
Unexpectedly, Yu Fei was not angry, he stopped Margaret's attack, but said approvingly: "Actually, what Abbott said is not wrong, this pair of earrings was indeed bought back from a thrift stall." β
"Huh?" Margaret was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Yu Fei Weilu wanted to say this. As far as he understands, Yu Fei is definitely not a person who is short of money. How could a man who was short of money spend Β£220,000 on a crystal pot? So why did he say that he bought these earrings at a thrift stall?
"Hah!" Albert smiled excitedly: "Mr. Yu, you are really saving." I wonder how much these earrings cost you? β
Yu Fei didn't seem to hear Abbott's words, but said to Margaret: "I got up early today. Arrived at the morning market in Bermonsee, you know, that was the place where we first met. It's very monumental. β
I see! Yu Fei's words made Margaret mistakenly think that the reason why Yu Fei went to Bermonse was completely to find her figure.
"I believe in fate! It was there that I fell in love with the earrings at a glance. I think only your beautiful temperament can be worthy of it. Yu Fei said affectionately.
"Thank you." Margaret was very moved, at this time, even if the things Yu Fei gave him were worthless, she would be very happy.
"Mr. Yu, it's a waste for you not to tell the story." Regarding what Yu Fei said, Abbott naturally didn't believe a word. He didn't expect Yu Fei to successfully divert Margaret's attention in just a few words.
Yu Fei looked at the noisy Abbott with a smile. said, "You think I'm making up a story with you?" You think these earrings are just ordinary second-hand goods? β
"Isn't it?" Abbott said proudly. He didn't believe that Yu Fei could play any tricks in front of him. The peacock earrings were carefully wiped clean by Yu Fei, and if you didn't pay attention, you would even think it was new, which made Abbott misunderstand.
Yu Fei sighed. Shaking his head, he said: "No culture, it's terrible!" β
"What did you say?!" Abbott was really angry, it was the first time that someone said he was uneducated.
"Even if you have a little bit of common sense, you should be able to tell that these earrings are definitely not simple crafts!" Yu Fei said and snorted at Margaret.
Only then did Albert realize that he didn't know when. Margaret was already studying the pair of earrings with a serious expression.
"What's going on? Is this pair of earrings really not simple? "Abbott felt incredible!
"Yu! If I'm not mistaken. These earrings are supposed to be an antique work of art! Margaret said.
Yu Fei nodded slightly, all this was already expected by him. It's just that he didn't expect Margaret to be able to see the fact that the earrings were antiques in such a short period of time.
"How is this possible? Such a broken earring turned out to be an antique! Abbott incredulously said, "This is ridiculous! β
But Margaret ignored him, and her expression was excited, and she said, "So, thank you, thank you, if my guess is correct, this is the best gift I have received so far." β
"It's ridiculous." Abbott said angrily.
Yu Fei didn't know the identity of Margaret, but Albert knew it. I don't know how many gifts she received as her, but now she actually said that the broken earrings that Yu Fei gave him turned out to be the best gift!
This is obviously an exaggeration.
Yu Fei scratched his head a little embarrassed. The heart said that this Margaret's acting skills are really bad, right? Please, if you really want to fool Abbott, you should also find a better chance, a better excuse, you can't come out with such a lame excuse, right?
Seeing that both of them were a little unconvinced, Margaret calmed her rapid breathing and said slowly: "So, let me start with my mouth." β
"As you may have seen, Margaret isn't my real name." Margaret said.
Yu Fei's face froze, he didn't blame Margaret for deceiving him, but he didn't see that Margaret was a fake name from beginning to end!
Although Abbott has been calling her His Royal Highness, he has never called out the words "Margaret"! But Yu Fei only thought that it was Abbott who was currying favor with her, and never thought about it elsewhere. Now it seems that he should be alone in the dark!
"My real name is Alice, Alice. Elizabeth. Mary. Mountbatten-Windsor! Princess of the British royal family," Margaret said.
Some people may find Alice's name too long, and they may also find it strange that her surname is Mountbatten-Windsor, not the royal surname Windsor. In fact, this surname was given to Alice's grandfather, Prince Philip, for a few years. Prince Philip was originally known as Philip. Feng. Schleswig-Holstein-Sundberg-GlΓΌcksburg, after marrying Elizabeth II, became a British citizen and adopted the maternal surname Mountbatten. But because of the Queen's Act, which stipulates that the descendants of the British royal family can only be surnamed Windsor, Prince Philip is very unhappy, and he once laughed at himself: "In England, only my son cannot take his father's surname." Later, the queen made some concessions, agreeing that non-heirs to the throne could choose the surname Mountbatten. Alice is a descendant of Prince Philip's first surname, Mountbatten.
Yu Fei almost jumped up!
What the?! Margaret, no, or should I say that Alice turned out to be the princess of the British royal family, how is this possible?!
And Abbott's expression did not change, it seemed that he had already known the news. This made Yu Fei's heart a little uncomfortable.
Alice hurriedly sat down next to Yu Fei, grabbed Yu Fei's arm with her slender little hand, as if she was afraid that he would leave, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Yu, I didn't mean to hide anything from you." It's that everyone around me will call me Margaret, not Alice. β
"Margaret should be your nickname, right?" Yu Fei guessed that it was not the first time he had seen such a thing, no one in China had a few names, no matter how tall the big names were, but the nicknames were strange, what iron eggs, steel eggs or something. It's just that Margaret's nickname is more elegant than those.
"It's not." Princess Alice shook her head and said, "Princess Margaret is my grandmother and the person I admire the most. So at a very young age, I referred to myself by her first name. Twenty years have passed, and fewer and fewer people actually call me Alice, and those who know me will call me Margaret. But, therefore, please believe that whether I am Alice or Margaret, my heart for you is the same. β
Looking at Princess Alice's nervous expression, Yu Fei nodded with relief and said, "I understand." I'm misunderstanding you. β
Seeing Yu Fei and Princess Alice's "forgetful" performance, Albert coughed twice very dissatisfied to remind himself of his existence.
"There is no sign on the earrings, so how do you know that the road is Princess Margaret's belonging?" Albert said questioningly.
Princess Alice said lightly: "In order to pursue happiness, Princess Margaret resolutely left home as a princess. She hasn't returned, and many of her belongings have been left behind. But this pair of earrings, which I have seen in the records of the court, is the one and only one that Princess Margaret wore in the first place. β
There was such a coincidence, Yu Fei also felt a little incredible! A pair of earrings that I bought casually at the morning market in Bermondse, it turned out to be an item of Princess Margaret of England! What's even more coincidental is that Princess Margaret turned out to be Princess Alice's idol! Not to mention Albert, even Yu Fei had some suspicions that all this was a lie told by Princess Alice.
"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Abbott said with something to say.
Alice knew what Albert meant, of course, but she didn't argue with it. It's a beckon. Immediately an old servant walked in with a photo album.
"Here are the items that Princess Margaret used to use. Look at this picture. Alice flipped to page 3 of the album, and sure enough, there was a pair of earrings in it that looked very similar to the one Yu Fei had brought, but the earrings on the album were brighter and richer.
Although the earrings sent by Yu Fei were worth a lot of money, and they were also items used by Margaret, which was also considered to be her favorite, Albert was still very confident in his gift. Compared to it, Yu Fei's peacock earrings are nothing at all! (To be continued......)
