Chapter 199: Christmas Eve
The Nord Christmas in 1988 Joseph was not very good, there was no Kate, no Joanna, no Li Xiaohan who has always been unforgettable, and there were some empty palaces and busy servants. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Abner's butler was in charge of the running of the palace day after day, and the servants did their own thing, the cook was responsible for the meals of the master and his servants, and the ordinary servants were responsible for the hygiene of the palace and the pruning of flowers and plants.
The Christmas tree was erected by one of the servants in the open space outside, and through the window Joseph saw a group of servants cheering excitedly around the Christmas tree, occasionally picking the candy on it and stuffing it into their mouths.
The door opened, followed by Abner's voice.
"Your Majesty, a letter from Her Highness Kate."
"Letter?"
Turning to look at a letter handed by Abner, Joseph was a little strange, but he didn't ask much, took it and opened it, and Abner quietly left.
"Merry Christmas, Joseph."
It was only a few words, but these words warmed Joseph's heart, and at this moment he remembered that he had a home, a fiancée, and an heir who had been born for six months.
Letters have a special feeling more than the phone or MSN, and if it was a message on the phone or MSN, then Joseph would never have felt the way he does now.
Kate's dignified and noble smile came to mind, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Joseph's mouth, this was the first time he had forgotten Li Xiaohan's appearance when he came back from Cambridge.
"Kate, you have a Merry Christmas too."
Looking at the starry sky, Joseph silently blessed his heart.
When I opened the door again, I looked up and saw that it was Abner Butler, who was a little embarrassed.
"Maybe I shouldn't bother you at this time, but I still have a few letters from you."
And also? Joseph was a little speechless, there are too many of these things that are not worth much, what does Kate think?
Seeing Joseph's appearance, Abner's butler knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not Her Royal Highness Kate, it's Miss Sharma, Princess Bella of Morocco, Miss Afra, Earl of Liverpool, England, ......"
Seeing that Abner's butler had a letter of faith in the past, Joseph hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Just leave it there." Abner butler, help me invite someone to dinner. ”
"Dinner?"
"It's a person in charge of Nord Entertainment Daily, Gao Jingxuan."
Gao Jingxuan? Isn't she a female journalist who had a very good relationship with Her Majesty a few years ago? At this time, Her Royal Highness Kate is not there, does Your Majesty want to ......
Abner wasn't trying to meddle with anything. He is also not qualified to care, but he is a little worried that if it spreads outside, it will be the reputation of the Nord royal family. Abner, of course, understands who he is. No matter how many worries he had in his heart, he nodded without saying a word at this time and instructed the kitchen and the driver.
Joseph didn't mean anything else, but on Christmas night, he was alone and a little lonely, and he wanted to find someone to accompany him, Gao Jingxuan was barely half a friend, and he just asked about her current situation.
……
In an apartment next to the commercial street in the Nord city
For Gao Jingxuan, life is much monotonous now, she is no longer the little girl in her twenties but a beautiful young woman close to thirty. Time has not left too many traces on her face, her skin is smooth and her face is soft. The only difference is that age makes her more attractive to many women.
Life, work, two o'clock a day and one line make her very irritable, of course, what makes her most depressed is her husband, who has been promoted to deputy chief engineer of Microsoft.
It was a typical tech worker, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the work as crazy, and it is more than three times a week if you can come back, as for the nightlife...... That's just an extravagant hope.
She hadn't contacted Joseph for a long time, and with the rise and development of Nord, the teenager who had been drinking coffee in the café together had disappeared, even if they did...... It was also Gao Jingxuan in the crowd watching the big bus convoys pass by.
Tonight is Christmas, Gao Jingxuan took out the long-cherished Bordeaux red wine. Smile wryly and feel nostalgic for your unhappy marriage and pre-marital life, perhaps...... My decision was wrong.
Knock knock~
Gao Jingxuan was a little puzzled, who would look for herself so late?
Afraid? If she had lived in Western Sahara, she might have been afraid. But Nord native...... Really, SWAT soldiers patrolling the streets with police dogs and patrol helicopters over the streets are vegetarians?
When you open the door, you will be greeted by a handsome face, and being handsome will always make people feel good. Of course, it's just as simple as a good feeling, after all, Gao Jingxuan accepts traditional Chinese culture, and she will not be as nonsense as her colleagues. Even if...... She had a sense of eagerness.
"Hello, what's the matter with you?"
"Ms. Gao Jingxuan, I am the guard officer of the palace, and this is an invitation from His Majesty the Grand Duke, and he wants to have a Christmas dinner with you and your husband."
Gao Jingxuan's husband was added by Joseph later, because he just remembered that Gao Jingxuan was married and was no longer suitable to come to the palace late at night to attend a banquet. Joseph did not consider the opinions of the outside world, but was worried that it would cause inconvenience to Gao Jingxuan's family.
"An invitation from the palace."
Gao Jingxuan never thought that she would have the opportunity to go to the palace again after marriage, and the 100,000 euros sent by Joseph when she got married made her mistakenly think that it was the hush money to sever the relationship in the future. Perhaps, it was just a simple blessing, and everything was a misunderstanding.
"Ms. Gao Jingxuan?"
"Oooh! Wait a minute! ”
Closing the door, Gao Jingxuan calmed down her mood, took a deep breath and began to dress up, she would not have thought that Joseph was dining with her alone, not a large banquet. Of course, even so, it is estimated that Gao Jingxuan will make up some makeup, after all, it is not ordinary people who eat together.
Because of her beauty, although Gao Jingxuan has always rejected those who pursue her, she is also a woman with a little vanity, love and power are things she slightly desires, and the invitation of the Grand Duke of Nord is something that she desires very much for Gao Jingxuan, who began to be a little superficial. But unlike other women, she only has a slight desire, and if she needs to pay for it, then she will definitely refuse.
Black off-the-shoulder dress, dazzling jewelry necklace, long hair coiled, the dress makes her figure more exquisite, the jewelry highlights the slender jade neck, white and delicate face and noble lady's sideburns, the infinite feminine charm is enough to make any man covet.
It had been half an hour since he reappeared in front of the handsome guard, and the handsome guard officer did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, not the same for women? Compared with those ladies and celebrities who only went out for an hour or two, Gao Jingxuan's speed was already very fast.
Bending down slightly, the handsome guard officer led the way, and at this time, Gao Jingxuan saw that there was not only one person who came, but the other three were all tall and resolute, and they were from a military background.
Gao Jingxuan is very beautiful and very attractive at this time, but except for the handsome guard officer who was slightly stunned, the other three did not blink their eyes, even Gao Jingxuan, who did not understand military affairs at all, understood that this was a real elite.
Gao Jingxuan was greeted by a silver Rolls-Royce, and it was time for dinner and indoor relaxation, so there were not many people on the street, but some apartment citizens who occasionally gathered on the windowsill still noticed this scene.
Is she the beauty of 503?
Gao Jingxuan's beauty made many apartment residents know her, even at night, under some dim lights, they clearly recognized the delicate back.
Many people's hearts are aching and lost, what does such a beautiful woman represent when she leaves in a luxury car at night? Many people understand the situation of her family, and many young people like to come to her neighborhood on weekdays, wanting to attract her attention, even if they can't hug the beauty, there is a ** is also a wonderful thing!
Of course, the result was naturally useless, and the officials and rich people he knew at work didn't take a second look at Gao Jingxuan, not to mention the young people in the apartment.
The apartment where Gao Jingxuan lives is actually a high-end apartment, after all, the location is good, the house area is large enough, and most of the people living here are middle-class, lawyers, doctors, teachers, .......
It stands to reason that Gao Jingxuan is already in the senior elite class, and she is fully capable and qualified to live in an independent villa. But...... Gao Jingxuan and her husband as deputy chief engineer of Microsoft are both people who do not have much pursuit of material life, although Gao Jingxuan has some yearning, but only some.
The price of real estate in Nord began to rise, of course, some ordinary apartments are still guaranteed by the government, and the increase is in some high-end villa areas and high-end apartments.
According to the current price, if you want to buy a coastal or worse 100-square-meter three-story villa, then you need at least more than 100,000 euros or even hundreds of thousands of euros.
Needless to say, Gao Jingxuan's salary is only €4,800-€5,000 a year, and her husband as a deputy chief engineer has a lot, but it is only €11,000-€30,000 (dividends), so it takes three or four years for a family like theirs to buy a villa, even if it is the worst.
Now Gao Jingxuan and the deputy chief engineer have this money, but once they buy a villa, the family's savings will be empty, Gao Jingxuan is a traditional woman, she doesn't want to have spare money in her hands. This is the main reason why they still do not choose to move, even with such a high annual income.
"Ms. Gao Jingxuan......"
"Huh?"
"Her Royal Highness Kate left the palace, Miss Joanna was not there, fortunately, several of His Majesty's friends sent Christmas wishes to make His Majesty happier."
This sentence was a bit clueless, but Gao Jingxuan understood the meaning of the guard's mouth, nodded and replied, "I know what to do." ”
The words of the guard officer naturally did not come from his heart, these were the instructions of Abner's butler, he did not want Gao Jingxuan to misunderstand anything, and at the same time hoped that she could be more reserved at some time, and it was best to refuse categorically, but the embarrassing thing was that Abner's butler also hoped that her arrival would make Joseph happy.
It's a little complicated, but Gao Jingxuan still understood it at the first time, and I have to say that sometimes women are really scary. (To be continued.) )
