Audrey didn't ask the servants behind her to help, and took the pork chops in Zhou Nan's plate in front of her and divided them into small pieces, and placed them in front of Zhou Nan.

Seeing Zhou Nan picking up pieces of meat with a fork and eating Zhengxiang, she couldn't help laughing.

She enjoyed the pleasure of taking care of Zhou Nan, which made her feel extremely satisfied.

Lady Hemstra sat beside Mrs. Pattinson, a title also recognized by England as a Dutch baroness, and treated in accordance with her status.

She had always hoped that Audrey would communicate with Marita, because whether she would get the knighthood or not depended mainly on the opinions of other nobles and the royal family.

At first, Marita had been looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze to see what kind of charm this girl could attract from all over the United Kingdom.

Although she is delicate and sweet, she is not the goose egg face most admired by the upper class of European and American society. Her eyebrows are also a little thick, her cheeks are a little square, her figure is even more slender and terrifying, and she does not have S-shaped curves.

However, her clear gaze and sweet smile make up for all this, this pure smile is like an angel that fascinates people, and people can't help but be attracted to her.

Marita also has to admit that this girl does have the background to become the focus of attention.

Huh, though...... Still not as good as myself.

Feeling that there was no threat, her heart unconsciously relaxed, and it was much more pleasing to the eye when she looked at Audrey again. Of course, it's just pleasing to the eye, and if you want to say you like it, you can't talk about it.

From childhood to adulthood, she was spoiled by everyone and grew up, who was not centered on her and served carefully. But this Audrey put all her energy on the man next to him, and even neglected herself because of it.

Looking at Zhou Nan again, she also felt a little unpleasant, an Oriental who couldn't even speak English was so valued by these old nobles that he accommodated him and kept talking in French.

Although he was indeed talented, the "General History of the World" he wrote was also very good...... No, it's not good at all, and I'll take the book and burn it when I go back.

However, this Oriental man is indeed good-looking, although he does not have the deep outline of Westerners, but his face is soft and good-looking.

He also does not have the thick hair of Westerners, and his skin looks delicate and smooth. Forget it, seeing that he looks good, his books won't be burned.

Zhou Nan felt that this meal had no taste at all, and at the dinner table, these people had always regarded him as an interesting topic. Although there is no discrimination against him, there is still a sense of superiority between Westerners and Easterners.

When I heard that Songhai had a tram and a movie a long time ago, I couldn't help but be amazed, as if it was still a primitive society.

However, they are, after all, a group of people who need to be co-opted on the British side. Today's meeting is not only related to Zhou Nan's social positioning in Britain for a period of time in the future, but also related to some cooperation between the Liberal Democratic Party and British politics.

So Zhou Nan did not show this dissatisfaction, and tried to deal with them calmly.

Towards the end of the dinner, the butler entered the dining room with a stack of papers and handed one to each person.

Everyone had apparently become accustomed to it, and took the piece of paper from the butler's hand.

Zhou Nan also got one, and when he took it, it was a list of music tracks, and now after the dinner, there would be a small dance party.

However, although this dance party was held because of Zhou Nan, it was obviously just a reason. Because Zhou Nan's injury has not healed now, it is still difficult to walk, so he can naturally only act as a spectator.

Audrey looked a little excited and a little nervous, approached Zhou Nan's side and said, "Jonas, although my mother taught me some court dances, I am not familiar with them, I am afraid of making a fool of myself." ”

Zhou Nan also whispered: "My dear, don't worry, you only need to go up and take two steps, and you will be more charming than them." ”

"They...... Does that include me? ”

Marita, who was sitting next to Audrey, suddenly interjected and asked, fortunately she also paid attention to a little etiquette and did not say it out loud, otherwise it would have forced Zhou Nan into a corner.

After all, Zhou Nan's words are indeed a bit discriminatory.

However, this kind of talk is the whisper of a pair of lovers, and in private it is fun, and it is too rude for people to hear it.

"Ah...... Of course not, Your Highness the Princess. Audrey had never experienced such an embarrassing time, and her face turned red.

Although Zhou Nan respects the princess, because this is the force she represents, she does not have the complete respect that people of this era have for the royal family.

Seeing the opponent's teasing ridicule, he quickly took the initiative to make an aggressive defense. "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not a lady's job to eavesdrop on other people's words."

Marita is only sixteen years old this year, although she is a little arrogant, but she does not have too rich life experience, and she is a little embarrassed to hear Zhou Nan say this. "I'm sorry...... It's your voice......"

As soon as the words came out, she felt a burst of shame after feeling guilty, no one had ever dared to humiliate her like this, it was they who spoke a little louder, and they couldn't blame themselves for this!

Her apricot eyes widened, and she felt that the oriental man in front of her was so hateful that she actually put the responsibility on herself.

But why did you apologize just now? If you want to fight back this time, you don't know what to say.

She glared at Zhou Nan, and her aggrieved eyes immediately turned red.

Audrey immediately turned around and held her arm and said softly and comfortingly, "No, Your Highness Princess, Jonas has no other meaning...... Don't be angry. ”

Zhou Nan didn't expect that her words would make her cry, she was a princess, this was still a public occasion, and she immediately felt empty.

He is not the kind of man who can talk flatteringly, he doesn't have much contact with women, and he doesn't understand the mind of a little girl.

was gently pushed by Audrey, and he came to his senses, and immediately whispered: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess, I just said a joke without choosing my words." ”

The other party was aggrieved and said: "Then you owe me a favor......

Seeing that other people's eyes seemed to be attracted to him, Zhou Nan's heart became even more panicked. This is in England, or at someone else's banquet, he offended the princess today, and tomorrow I am afraid that he will immediately become the target of the whole British population.

"As long as you don't cry, everything is easy to say."

Marita took a deep breath and the tears were immediately magically retracted. She glared at Zhou Nan again, and immediately showed a smile when she faced Audrey. "Audrey, why do you fall in love with such a vulgar man, he doesn't seem to have any gentlemanly demeanor at all."

Audrey also glanced at Zhou Nan, and said with a smile: "Since I was eleven years old, he has appeared in my life, I have long been used to him, and I can no longer lose him." ”

"Would you like to tell me your story? You know, I live in a almost closed world every day, I never experience anything unexpected, and life is extremely boring. ”

"Of course ......"

Seeing the two girls whispering intimately again, Zhou Nan was a little dazed. In just a moment, I actually owe a favor, which seems to be really a disaster!

When the dinner is over, the men go to the living room to take a break, while the women are taken to the dressing room to put on makeup and change clothes.

Watching Audrey leave with Mrs. Hemstra and them, Zhou Nan was still worried about what had just happened.

I owe a favor for nothing, and the object is still a princess, and this favor doesn't seem to be easy to repay!

Let Nord come over and walk with Zhou Nan at the end of the crowd. "Jonas, are you still used to it?"

Zhou Nan shook his head, "I don't seem to be able to get used to this kind of red tape forever." ”

He reassured: "There are not many aristocrats in Europe anymore, and we don't need to face such entertainment very often. But you did well today, and they all liked the story of the Orient that you told......"

"I seem to be just a little spice in their ordinary lives......"

He laughed and said, "They're ...... too."

Zhou Nan understood what he meant, the aristocracy was originally a group of people who were about to be eliminated in modern society, and they would not have much contact with each other.

But he owes a favor to a princess, and this matter makes him distressed.

He thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

The dance party began, and Zhou Nan, who was sick, could only sit on the wall seat as a spectator and watch them dance.

In this era, the modern ballroom dance has become popular, but the opening dance is still a minuet that has been practiced in European courts for hundreds of years.

This minuet is a man and a woman who are arranged in two opposite rows, and in the process of dancing, the first man will be ranked last at the end of the dance, which means that each man and woman will cross and dance together, with strict standards and etiquette.

Although Audrey is dancing for the first time, she is originally a dancer, so in addition to not being skilled and a little restrained, she is better than most people.

Of course, Marita is not included in this one. She must have experienced such an occasion since she was a child, so she was very relaxed and danced very well.

What's more, she has a beautiful face and a perfect body like an hourglass, which can attract almost everyone's attention on the dance floor.

After about ten minutes of minuet, the ball officially begins. The women would return to the couches by the wall and wait for the men to invite them to dance.

Audrey returned to Zhou Nan's side and danced for a while, plus she was more excited, Audrey's face was ruddy, and her breathing was a little short.

"Jonas, do I dance beautifully?"

"Of course, it's fascinating."

"What about me?" Marita brought Lusa, who was still Lori, over with her.

This time, Zhou Nanxue was smart, and immediately said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are the most charming. ”

She smiled with satisfaction and sat down on the sofa by the wall across a dining table.

Zhou Nan stretched out his hand to pull Audrey to sit down and helped her wipe the slight sweat stains on her face. "Tired?"

"I'm not tired, it's fun."

Strauss's waltz sounded, and the men rose to their feet and walked towards their goals. It was supposed to be according to etiquette. The Earl of Pattinson, as the host, would either invite Lady Helmstra to dance, or Audrey to dance, to do the first dance.

However, the princess was here today, so he walked in front of the princess, and his eldest son, Jerry, came to Audrey, bowed slightly, and stretched out his right hand.
