It was not yet five o'clock when I came out of Westminster Abbey, but it was dark early in November in London, and the street lights were already on.

The sky was drizzling again, and on this early winter evening, there was a chill that penetrated into the heart.

Audrey and Melissa were saying goodbye, and a group of young girls were jubilant and chirping like sparrows, attracting the attention of many guests.

Today, the church was cordoned off by the guards, there were no reporters outside, and the aristocratic girls became lively.

However, when a group of girls are lively, they are also extraordinarily presumptuous. Zhou Nan, a gentleman who faces the embarrassment of girls, often becomes the object of their ridicule.

After a while, the girls separated and got into the car or carriage that came to pick them up from their respective homes, and Zhou Nan also held an umbrella and took Audrey's hand, letting her get into the car first, and then sitting in the car.

"What did you talk about? I see you're having fun. ”

Audrey was still a little excited, leaned on Zhou Nan's arm, kicked off her high heels and said, "Talking about the dance party at night, they said they want to dance with you at night!" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and smiled: "Didn't you tell them that my dancing is very bad?" ”

Audrey said with a smile: "If you make a fool of yourself, I'm afraid they will be happier." ”

Zhou Nan pinched her playfully wrinkled nose and said with a smile: "Then I'm going to avoid them at night." ”

When you return to Kensington Palace Garden Street and pass Buckingham Palace, you can see that many people are already wearing blankets and raincoats, grabbing places on both sides of the street in front of Buckingham Palace.

There are still more than ten hours left before tomorrow's wedding, which shows that the British people are very enthusiastic about the princess's wedding.

Back at her villa on Garden Street at Kensington Palace, Audrey was called into the bathroom by Lady Hemsstra, who had made the way to London. "It's too late to come back, the dinner starts at six o'clock, and now time is running out."

"Mom, don't be in a hurry, Jessica and the others just left."

"Most of them must have been changing at Buckingham Palace and not going home at this time. Moreover, we have to arrive early to be in line with etiquette. ”

Among the girls invited today, Audrey is nominally the heir to the viscount. This title is not low, but under the backdrop of a large group of dukes and earls' children, it also belongs to a relatively low position.

Of course, Audrey's more important identity now is Zhou Nan's wife, as the wife of a famous university scholar, her husband is also one of the core leaders of Switzerland, and also belongs to the ranks of national leaders, this position has more weight than her own viscount heir.

Mrs. Hemstra had put the hot water in place and tried to help Audrey bathe, but she resolutely threw her out. Zhou Nan had already sneaked into the kitchen with a sense of humor, ate a large piece of pork chopstick, and paddled his stomach.

Today's party, although it is buffet-style, but not many people will gobble it up at the banquet. Such a dinner party is not an occasion for eating at all, but a social place.

Today, Audrey took a bath and washed quickly, and as soon as Zhou Nan was full, Audrey ran down with her hair covered and quickly changed into a set of elegant court dresses.

This long dress is also the handiwork of Givenchy, because it is a royal wedding, so it is solemn. Long sleeves, high neck, only the place of the collarbone is cut-out, revealing Audrey's beautiful collarbone.

ate several pieces of pork ribs on Zhou Nan's plate. "I'm dying of hunger, do I have anything to eat?"

Alan looked at his granddaughter and said with a happy smile: "And meatloaf and mushroom soup, Sophia, give Audrey a bowl of soup." ”

"Thank you, grandpa, have you eaten?"

"I'll eat it later, it's too early."

Mrs. Hemstra came down with a dry towel and helped Audrey wipe her half-dried hair, explaining the taboos of the evening ball as she wiped it.

Audrey didn't want to hear her say this, and from time to time she slammed her mouth, choking her speechless. And Zhou Nan and Allen were completely stupid, pretending to read the newspaper and not hearing what they were saying.

Audrey was half-full, and was pulled by Mrs. Hemstra to hurry to put on makeup, and Zhou Nan wiped her mouth at this time and went back to the room to change her clothes.

"Jonas, I just received a call from Datuk Pan Shou An of Malaysia, the representative of the Chinese in Malaysia wants to meet with you during his stay in the UK, I will arrange it until the morning after tomorrow, is it okay?"

"Very well, let's meet them at home, and then you can help me investigate their respective identities and experiences."

Zhou Nan looked in the mirror for a long time, and finally tied the tie, but not to mention that it looked good, it was a ball, and there was no beauty at all.

Seeing Zhou Nan so clumsy, Mrs. Hemstra couldn't help laughing, put down the jewelry box in her hand, and helped Zhou Nan remove the tie and tie it again.

"Jonas, knotting a tie is an essential skill for a man...... Audrey, Jonas has no talent for this, you should learn to help him tie all kinds of tie knots. ”

"See, Jonas rarely wears a tie."

Although she is her mother-in-law, she is so close to her, and then helps herself tie it, Zhou Nan is still a little unaccustomed. He held his breath and endured the warm aroma on his face, and finally felt a little more comfortable when she helped him tie it.

Mrs. Hemstra also sensed Zhou Nan's discomfort, and helped him tie it seriously, and couldn't help but laugh.

For this son-in-law, she couldn't be more satisfied. is famous, can make money, and has the shyness and self-respect of Orientals, there are too few such men now.

Even if it is a princess, her marriage partner is just a bankrupt little nobleman. If he weren't handsome, and he was the princess's distant cousin, he wouldn't have been a colt at all.

But even in such an unsuitable marriage, the man was also amorous and lustful, and before the princess, he was torn between several women.

Audrey had finished her makeup, and was dressed up in all kinds of jewelry by Mrs. Hemstra, and then nodded in satisfaction. "My Audrey is really beautiful!"

Audrey was a little embarrassed. "Mom, how can anyone boast like this."

Mrs. Hemstra couldn't help laughing, pinched her little face, and said, "Go ahead, have some fun tonight." ”

Today's ball was a reception for the princess to leave Buckingham Palace, and the main people who attended, the noble ladies, Ellen and Lady Hemstra, were not invited.

For example, although Zhou Nan was also invited, these men would be separated from the girls at ten o'clock at most, and the rest of the time belonged to those girls, even the king would be no exception.

It was raining harder outside, but there were more and more people outside Buckingham Palace. The people sang and danced, drank in the rain and sang loudly, but the police on duty ignored them.

To be able to be put in at this time, they are all carefully checked, and as long as there are no guns and bombs on board, the police will not care about their revelry.

Several entrances to Buckingham Palace, today crowded with journalists and guards. Because there were so many guests, all the cars and carriages had to stop at the gate, and everyone got off at the gate and walked in.

The arrival of every guest will attract the attention of these reporters, and the arrival of Zhou Nan and Audrey has also murdered a lot of film.

The inside of Buckingham Palace is particularly beautiful today, the lights in almost every room are turned on, and there are a lot of colored lights and flowers in the back garden.

The main dining room of the dinner was the state dining room, where today's dinner and tomorrow's luncheon were held, and since the British were still rationing and the king's family had no food to spare, the dinner was not very rich.

There is an interesting anecdote about the princess's wedding that is very interesting, that is, in order to prepare her wedding dress, the princess used the cloth tickets of all the royal family members to get enough fabric for the wedding dress.

Zhou Nan originally wanted to use the reputation of Hepburn Fashion Company to sponsor a wedding dress. But according to British tradition, the princess's wedding dress can only be made in the UK, so Zhou Nan just wanted to give a wedding dress to the princess, and she would not accept it.

The fact that a princess got married and used the tickets of more than a dozen members of the royal family is a bit funny, but it also directly proves how weak Britain is now.

Of course, this is only the weakening of light industry, and when it comes to military strength, this old empire is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse.

Today's dinner, which is mainly the world of girls, entered the restaurant, and the eyes were all girls dressed up in flowers, and only one-third of the men also consciously shrank in the corner of the restaurant at this time.

As soon as Audrey came in, she was pulled away by a few familiar aristocratic girls, Zhou Nan took a glass of red wine, and was about to find a corner to stay for a while, when the housekeeper of the royal family came to his side.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. His Majesty the King is in Whitehall with a few friends, and he wants to have a chance to chat with you before the ball begins. ”

"That's just as I wanted, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet him."

Walking up the stairs inside the dining room to the third floor, Zhou Nan followed the butler to Whitehall. There are not many people here, most of them are some important people, everyone is not surprised to see Zhou Nan, and they greet each other affectionately.

George stood in front of a mirror with a copy of his speech in his hand, still practicing the opening speech of the ball for a while. He has speech obstacles, and he stutters a little, and if he doesn't memorize the manuscript well, it is easy to make a fool of himself.

Most people also knew about this flaw of his, so it was not surprising, everyone else chatted in groups of three or five, and no one looked at this side much.

Seeing Zhou Nan coming, he put down his speech, stretched out his hand to Zhou Nan and said, "Welcome, Jonas." Did the trip to the U.S. go well? ”

"Thank you for your concern, it went very well. It's a complicated feeling that your daughter is about to become someone else's wife, right? ”

"Yes......," he said, sighing, "I am more frustrated than the partition of India and Pakistan, and breaking away from British control." But I still had to put on a smile. ”

(There have been things for a few days in a row, and today's update always feels a little unsatisfactory, so I will adjust it as soon as possible and strive for better quality.) ）
