Night is coming.

Vivien Leigh wore a gorgeous evening dress and walked briskly through the campus forest**. Because her waist was so tight, she felt like she was about to die, and it seemed that all her internal organs were strangled into her throat.

The skirt is lined with a few whale bones, which are standard for ladies to attend formal occasions, which can look elegant and highlight the thin waist. This dress was given to her by her mother last year, and Vivien Leigh has always treasured it at home, and she came home this morning to pick it up and put it on.

Dragging a wide skirt, Vivien Leigh walked all the way to the school gate, attracting a burst of sideways glances from students from the same school.

"Horn!"

A sedan approached, and the windows were slowly lowered.

"Mr. Zhou?" Vivien Leigh was overjoyed, she thought she would wait here for a long time.

Zhou Hexuan looked at Vivien Li, who appeared in full costume, and felt both amazed and funny. He played the gentleman very cooperatively, got out of the car and opened the rear door himself, bent down and saluted: "Please get in the car, beautiful young lady." ”

"Thank you." Vivien Li took Zhou Hexuan's arm and stepped into the car in a very ladylike manner, this action she had practiced many times in advance.

The car started slowly, and Vivien Leigh was excited and apprehensive. She sat next to Zhou Hexuan, her back straight, she was silent for a moment and then couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't dress rudely today, right?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "It's perfect, you must be the most beautiful one at today's ball." ”

Vivien Leigh's face was red, and she said shyly, "It's the first time I've attended an aristocratic ball, and I'm afraid that something will be wrong." ”

"Don't be nervous, just keep your mind calm." Zhou Hexuan comforted.

The ball was held at a manor house outside London, and when the two got out of the car, Vivien Leigh was so nervous that her feet went limp. She quietly clenched her fists, and finally mustered up the courage to get out of the car and walk in with Zhou Hexuan's arm.

"Asian?"

"Maybe it's Japanese."

"Japanese people are all short, and there can't be a 6-foot-tall anomaly."

"How could Prince Albert invite an Asian?"

"I seem to have seen a picture of this man, oh, by the way, his surname is Zhou, and he is only from China."

"China, which is rich in porcelain?"

“……”

As soon as Zhou Hexuan and Vivien Li arrived at the scene, they immediately attracted the attention of many guests. Vivien Leigh, a peerless beauty, was actually ignored, and people focused their attention on Zhou Hexuan, after all, it is normal for beautiful women to appear in the aristocratic ball, and it is very rare to have an Asian face.

Vivien Li faced everyone's pointing and pointing, she became more nervous, clasping Zhou Hexuan's arm and not daring to let go.

Toynbee stepped forward and smiled happily: "Zhou, you are finally here, I thought you would miss the appointment." He looked at Vivien Leigh again, winked and said, "Your dance partner is beautiful and has a good eye." ”

Vivien Leigh didn't know Toynbee at all, and thought it was an old nobleman, so she hurriedly smiled: "Thank you for your appreciation." ”

The ball was private, and the total number of guests was twenty or thirty. Most of them were aristocrats, but there were also famous scholars like Toynbee who participated, and ordinary people simply couldn't blend in.

Vivien Leigh secretly looked around her, and she found that she was dressed most exaggeratedly, and the other noblewomen did not seem to like to wear this kind of "medieval dress".

What a shame!

Vivien Leigh was so embarrassed that she felt like a hillbilly who had just entered the city.

Zhou Hexuan and Toynbee chatted casually, and after a while, the protagonist of the ball appeared. Prince Albert took Princess Elizabeth in his arms and made a grand appearance with a smile on his face, but the princess smiled a little reluctantly.

When the crowd fell silent, Prince Albert spoke, "No...... You are always welcome to come and ...... Participate in my dance ...... for my wife Will ......"

In the movie "The King's Speech", Albert became the king of England, stammered in public speeches, and even needed the encouragement of doctors and his wife.

In fact, this is not the case, in 1926 Albert made a big fool of himself when he spoke at the Commonwealth Games, he immediately called in the doctor Rogge to treat his stutter, and it only took two months to get better. Since then, Albert has been perfectly capable of giving a wide range of speeches, though occasionally it is difficult to pronounce words, and sometimes certain words have to be repeated.

At this time, the nobles attending the ball, hearing Albert's slightly stuttering speech, behaved very naturally and gave warm applause.

Only Vivien Leigh was amazed, as if there was a sign of the collapse of the three views - that was the prince, how could the handsome, mighty, wise, and noble prince stutter and speak incoherently?

Oh, my God!

Vivien Leigh couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, is that really Prince Albert?" ”

"It can't be a fake." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Vivien Leigh immediately shut up, with a faint smile on her face, hiding all the disappointment in her head.

Prince Albert greeted the guests with a smile in his glass, not as introverted and shy as the legend suggests. Maybe it's all because of acquaintances, he behaves more steadily and naturally, and there is nothing wrong with the conversation.

Princess Elizabeth is the same as the legend, although she follows Albert step by step, but there is a trace of sadness and disgust between her eyebrows.

When the princess was not married, she liked the eldest prince Edward, who later became the Duke of Windsor. She looked down on the introverted, cowardly and stuttering second prince Albert, and had rejected Albert's marriage proposal many times, but in the end she couldn't survive her parents' orders and was forced to marry.

Zhou Hexuan is not interested in this kind of royal gossip, what he wants to ask most is: Your Royal Highness the Prince and Princess, what about your daughter Elizabeth? Has she been practicing a magic skill called "Life Continuation Dafa" since she was a child?

Ahem, this topic is dangerous, stop it.

"Soup...... Mr. Imbi, this is ...... Is it Mr. Zhou? Albert came over with his wife and asked knowingly.

Toynbee introduced: "Yes, Your Highness, this is Mr. Zhou Hexuan from China, and his dance partner, Miss Vivian Hartley. ”

Albert immediately took the initiative to hold Zhou Hexuan's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm ...... I like your Titanic very much, I ...... My wife loved it too, and I ...... I hope to be able to communicate with you...... Communicative literature. ”

Well, this prince does seem to have a strong stutter, and his previous opening speech, which was quite neat, is probably practiced in advance in private.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "It's an honor." ”

Albert said to Vivien Leigh again, "Miss Hahahatley, yes...... It's a pleasure to meet you...... Meet. ”

Vivien Li seemed to be infected, and hurriedly said, "Wang...... Your Royal Highness, I ...... I'm also honored to ...... Be able to participate in your dance ...... Dance Dance Dance Party. ”

The prince's face instantly turned ugly, and he thought that Vivien Leigh was deliberately mocking him. Vivien Leigh, on the other hand, had a blank head, she had never communicated with such a big person at close range, and she was so scared that she didn't know how to speak.
