Chapter 473: Maria's Dream Six
"Don't worry, there won't be trouble." Mr. Alexander's face flashed with murder, "These bugs can't bother anyone anymore. This time it was just a comeback before they died. ”
"That's good." Mary breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid of causing trouble to the Lucas family, who was just an ordinary powerless man who could not afford to assassinate even Mr. Alexander.
As the two spoke, a group of men and horses rushed over. The first person was the butler whom Maria had ever met.
Mr. Butler saw that Mr. Alexander was standing well, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly jumped off his horse and ran to Mr. Alexander, and asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you all right?" Are there any injuries? ”
"I was not injured, thanks to Miss Maria," said Mr. Alexander. Hurry up and send someone to the front to chase Miss Maria's horse back. ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it."
"Your Highness?" Mary was surprised, "Are you a prince or a prince?" ”
Mr. Alexander smiled: "To introduce myself, my name is Harvey Alexander Arthur Mountbatten, the third son of the Queen. ”
Mary hurriedly pulled up the corners of her skirt and saluted Prince Alexander: "Hello, Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for my rudeness to you before. ”
Although the first is the third son of the queen, he is the second in line to the throne. The Queen's second son died young, and with the exception of the eldest Prince of Wales, the first was the highest among the younger generations.
Mr. Alexander hurriedly said, "Dear Miss Maria, you have not been rude in any way, but have saved my life twice, and I am too late to thank you." ”
Mary smiled slightly, but did not speak, who knows if this one is telling the truth or falsehood. The words of royalty and politicians are the least to be believed.
Mr. Alexander's men chased Mary's horse back, and Mary took her farewell to Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander took care of another important matter, did not keep Mary, and waved her goodbye.
Maria slapped her horse away, and her skillful riding and heroism made all of Mr. Alexander's men admire.
Back at home, Maria sat on the sofa and thought a lot. I wonder how Mr. Alexander will repay the saving grace, how will the Lucas family be sent with money last time, how will they be sent this time? Forget about the promotion of Sir Lucas's title, now that the nobility is beginning to decline, the promotion of the title is just a good name, and it will not help the Lucas family much, so it is better to send them away with money!
The next day, when the two sisters began to pack up their travels, a frightened servant came to them and reported that Her Majesty had summoned them.
Charlotte's eyes widened: "Her Majesty summoned us? Did you hear it wrong? How could Her Majesty know that we two little girls from the countryside? ”
Then Maria remembered that she had not had time to tell her sister about Mr. Alexander, so she hurriedly pulled Charlotte and whispered, "I rescued Mr. Alexander from the horse yesterday. He turned out to be Her Majesty's second son, and I think Her Majesty summoned us for this matter. ”
Charlotte's eyes widened, and her face was full of incredulity.
"Oh my God! Mr. Alexander turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince! Oh, Maria, you have a real relationship with him, and you have saved His Royal Highness twice. ”
Mary smiled, "Maybe it's God's arrangement." ”
The two men entered the palace and met Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by Mr. Alexander. Her Majesty was very kind to them, and calmed Charlotte's restless heart a little, and Maria was very calm from beginning to end. For the royal people, she has no reverence in her heart, which may have something to do with her experience in her previous life.
Originally, the queen was only grateful to Mary for saving her son twice, so she summoned the two sisters into the palace to meet them, and thanked them with a raised face. Unexpectedly, the knowledge of the two country girls was even more extraordinary than that of the noble ladies of London, and they chatted with them very freely. It was rare for the queen to meet someone who could talk like this, and as soon as she was happy, the queen left the two sisters in the palace for a few days. That's a great honor. Although Charlotte didn't show it, the villain in her heart was so excited that she almost fainted. Stay in the royal palace and accompany the Queen! As soon as these two kinds of capital are said, there will definitely be no fewer men who want to marry her, but I am afraid that there will be nobles with a high status among them! God, God bless Mary, she is her lucky star, the lucky star of the Lucas family.
Mary walked through the gardens of the royal palace, which were beautiful, and there were many flowers in them, which Mary had only seen in books, and this time she saw with her own eyes. Still, for Maria, she felt that the countryside was more beautiful because of nature.
"Miss Maria." Mr. Alexander walked up to Maria.
Mary hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Your Highness." ”
Mr. Alexander returned the salute and spoke to Maria, "How?" The view from the garden is beautiful. ”
Maria nodded: "It's beautiful, many flowers, I've seen it for the first time." ”
Mr. Alexander said, "The gardener has the seeds of these flowers, and he can divide some of them among you, and you can grow them yourself." ”
Maria hurriedly said, "Thank you very much." ”
Mr. Alexander: "Be sincere. ”
Maria: "?? ”
Mr. Alexander: "You are so good at embroidery, can you help me embroider an embroidery?" ”
Maria did not doubt that Mr. Alexander knew about herself and the Lucas family, after all, they were princes and had power in their hands, so they must have investigated the Lucas family clearly.
"What kind of embroidery do you want?" Mary asked.
Mr. Alexander said, "You don't need to be as big as the four screens, just embroider a small one." ”
Mary said, "Then I'll embroider a screen for you." What do you want the pattern to look like? ”
Mr. Alexander: "You can do it." ”
Charlotte and Maria stayed in the palace for half a month, and Maria took the time to embroider a screen for Mr. Alexander. Charlotte saw that Mary was embroidering for Mr. Alexander, so she also embroidered a dress for Her Majesty. Her Majesty was overjoyed and bestowed upon the two sisters two titles, albeit the lowest rank of ladyess. But with this title, they are considered real nobles.
When the two sisters wrote home, the Lucas family was overjoyed. Mrs. Lucas even showed off her daughter in front of Mrs. Bennet, much to Mrs. Bennet's jealousy.
"Aren't they just two titles? What's the big deal. Her Majesty should reward Charlotte with a marriage, after all, she is so old. Mrs. Bennet said jealously.
Mrs. Lucas snorted: "What do you know, our Charlotte is now a nobleman, and with this status, there will be men who will earn to marry her, not to mention that she has three, no, a dowry of five thousand pounds, and even more people who will marry her." It's your Jane, let her be practical, and stop thinking about Mr. Bingley. It's better to find a man to marry honestly. ”
Mrs. Bennet was furious: "We don't need to tell you briefly, she is so beautiful, and she will definitely meet someone better than Mr. Bingley in the future." It's your Charlotte, who is old and not good-looking, it's good to have a man to marry, don't take Joe too much. ”
The two ladies quarreled over their daughters and returned home in a huff. Elizabeth sighed when she heard their argument, and while she was happy for her friend, she couldn't help but be jealous of her friend's luck. Why was it the Lucas family who saved the prince, and if it was the Bennet family, would she and Jane also be able to get the title of baroness? At that time, Miss Bingley didn't dare to dislike Jane and Bennet's family, right?
Charlotte and Maria did not return to Meriton after leaving the palace, and they continued their journey.
When Prince Alexander came to see them off, he said to Mary: "There is something that must be taken care of, or I will accompany you on your journey." ”
Charlotte stood aside and took Prince Alexander's expression in her eyes, a flash of surprise and surprise on her face, followed by a smile and a sense of concern.
When the carriage started, leaving Prince Alexander far behind, Charlotte said to her sister, "Maria, you and Prince Alexander ......"
As soon as the words came out, Maria smiled: "Charlotte, you don't have to worry about the two of us. I know who I am, and if I can't be a princess, I definitely won't be Prince Alexander's mistress. ”
Charlotte said, "You've always been very sensible, I'm not too worried. But the prince seems to be sincere with you, and maybe you can really become her princess. You should take advantage of it. ”
"Well, I will." "By the way," said Maria, "we will pass by Mr. Darcy's Pemberry Manor on this trip, shall we be a guest there?" ”
Charlotte said, "Mr. Darcy didn't care about Pemberberry, he went to his aunt's. ”
Maria: "You've been in correspondence?" ”
Charlotte: "yes. Mr. Darcy is a very good faithful, and it is a pleasure to read his new news. ”
Maria whispered, "I don't know if Mr. Darcy has seen his heart clearly. ”
Charlotte didn't hear this clearly, and asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about, Maria?" ”
"Nothing." Maria smiled and diverted the subject, and the two began to talk about the scenery they would encounter along the way.
Just walked around and played, and after more than half of the journey, the two came to a small town called Lanbaitun. No sooner had they settled in the inn of the town than someone came to report that the men of Pemberley Manor had come to visit the two young ladies.
"Mr. Darcy?" Charlotte was surprised, "He's back in Pemberry?" ”
Mary smiled, and it seemed that Mr. Darcy had finally seen his heart.
"Charlotte, maybe Mr. Darcy has come back specifically to entertain you."
