The banquet was finally about to begin, and Zhou Nan felt light in body and mind like a prisoner who escaped from birth. Recommended: The new work of the master Ear: "The Legend of Dian Jiao: Tianyue Dongfang" http://www./3_3444/He would rather face ten academic debates than let a bunch of women comment like monkeys in the zoo.

The banquet hall is the largest hall in Buckingham Palace. The tables and chairs inside are arranged in an n-shaped shape, in the middle of the hall. On both sides of the room are long tables for dishes and wine. According to the standards of two guests and one attendant, there are forty people serving alone.

The king and his wife sat in front of each other, and the others were lined up in sequence. The seats were strictly arranged according to their identities and positions. Zhou Nan and Audrey, plus Mrs. Hemstrasse and Audrey's grandfather, as guests specially invited by the king, were arranged in the middle of the long table on the aristocrats, which was higher than their actual identity.

On the other side, there are government officials who may not have titles, but because of their positions, they rank better than the aristocratic side.

Let Nord be arranged to be with the officials, and he had a cordial conversation with several elderly people of similar age without any restraint. As for Etiny and the others, they did not have the opportunity to sit in the main banquet hall because they were entourages.

Audrey sat next to Zhou Nan, and on the other side was the frowning Melissa. She was originally going to have a big meal, but she happened to lose her teeth and is now very distressed.

Audrey started to take care of her and didn't have much time to talk to Zhou Nan. After sitting down, she whispered to Zhou Nan: "I'm very reluctant to exchange clothes with her, but she is a princess..."

Zhou Nan comforted her and said, "I am also reluctant to design clothes for her, because I just want to design them for you."

She said affectionately: "I know, all you do is because of me..."

Zhou Nan shaved her nose and smiled and said, "You are my wife, of course I have to think about you."

The Earl of Swolfs, the head of the palace, shouted loudly: "His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Britain, His Majesty the Queen, His Highness the Princess arrived..." (To avoid the simplification of the taboo, it is not a mistake in omission.)

Everyone stood up and gave warm applause. After the king and the others sat down, all the talents sat down again. Although George was a little stuttering and his personality was relatively restrained, he had hosted such a banquet many times, so he easily gave a welcome speech.

In his welcome speech, he also expressed his welcome and thanks to Zhou Nan, which also attracted many people to pay attention to him.

Then there was prayer time. Audrey and her mother believed in Catholicism. Although the prayers of Protestantism were different, they were similar, so they didn't feel conspicuous.

However, Zhou Nan always claimed that he believed in "Taoism". Although he was a fake Taoist priest, if he had no faith, he would be an unpopular person in Europe, so this identity was always covered.

He was the only one who did not pray, but the bishop who presided over the prayer knew him and did not express his dissatisfaction.

After the prayer, the attendants standing on both sides started to serve the dishes well at the command of George.

Although the UK has always been famous for its dark cuisine, it is only the folk. The menus in the European court are almost homogeneous and there are whatever you want to eat.

Everyone's menu was prepared in advance. Zhou Nan did not eat beef and was registered in advance. He also selected dishes for himself in the menu.

Although it is a British state banquet, the menu is in French, which is also the tradition of the royal family. Because the current British royal family was originally the Duke of Normandy in France.

Even in the upper class of Britain, there is still a tradition of speaking French.

The first course: Duobao fish fillet with lobster mousse.

The second dish: Stir-fried venison tenderloin with Madeira red wine truffle juice.

Vegetables: Braised red packets of cabbage in stock, potatoes in small pots, celery root pumpkin tower.

Desserts: Chocolate, Mango, Lime French Sweet Cookies. Fruit Platter.

In addition, the first and last course of the wine served in the meal must be British products. The first glass before the meal is champagne, and the last glass is British sparkling wine.

If you only eat this meal in the UK, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't think that the British cuisine is dark, because this meal can be called extremely delicious.

After the dinner, of course, the court dance was indispensable, but Zhou Nan still did not attend, but was pulled to Whitehall by a group of politicians to discuss some political topics.

However, this time, due to the large number of people participating and the numerous people talking. In addition, Zhou Nan's purpose has been achieved and he does not want to serve the British voluntarily, so this time, he did not make any more amazing speeches.

Regarding some current affairs, his opinions were no longer deafening, but followed the mainstream direction, which made some politicians a little dissatisfied, but no one came to force him.

However, his low-keyness is not very useful now, because he has shocked the big guys in the afternoon.

However, they have not reached a consensus on how to deal with Zhou Nan.

It was almost midnight when the banquet ended, but it was only two or three hours after dark, and there were still crowds of people enjoying the cool air everywhere on the street.

Audrey leaned against Zhou Nan's right arm, and Marita changed her favorite skirt, which made her a little unhappy.

But Mrs. Hemstrasse was very excited. Earl Pattinson agreed to ask about Audrey's father Joseph, and Allen agreed to pass his title to Audrey.

Although he doesn't like the Nazi son, he doesn't want him to die in prison.

This matter was also recognized by the queen, who promised to urge the king to intervene in this matter so that Audrey could successfully inherit the title. Although he was just a short title now, the nobles are still superior to others now.

After getting off the carriage, the groom and the others drove the carriage away, and Melissa could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

Etini helped Nord weakly hold the child and send her into her bedroom.

After entering his bedroom, Audrey couldn't help but hug Zhou Nan. "Jonas, for me, you are wronged."

"No, this is what I'm willing to do. Don't be depressed by a skirt. Speaking of which, Marita's skirt is much more expensive than yours."

"But that was the skirt you designed for me. She fell in love with it at first sight and pestered me to change my clothes with me. When she put it on, she refused to take it off. She is a princess..."

"She is just a spoiled and ungrown child. Just treat her as Melissa and let her do it once."

Audrey was still a little depressed, but she knew there was nothing she could do about this matter. She couldn't turn against the princess for a skirt.

"It's too hot, you see you're sweating. I'll go and release water and give you a bath."

London in August was the hottest season, especially now that the pollution is severe, it adds a bit of boredom.

Zhou Nan suggested: "Let's go to the swimming pool and soak for a while. I put my arms by the pool so I won't be afraid of getting wet."

But Audrey shook her head and said, "There are too many people in the house. I'm not used to wearing swimsuits in front of outsiders."

Bikinis have not appeared in this era, and swimsuits are still very conservative, but even so, many people are still not used to it. In the Netherlands, many women swim in public swimming pools. In addition to swimsuits, they also have to wear a dark coat before they can get into the water.

Zhou Nan thought for a while and said, "From the future, we will build a swimming pool at home, so if you want to swim, you can swim."

Audrey looked at Zhou Nan and smiled ambiguously, and became a little shy, covering Zhou Nan's eyes with her hands. "Do you think bad things again? Don't you think about it..."

Zhou Nan deliberately uttered a sigh of relief, and she stopped in fear. "Did you touch your arm? Does it hurt?"

Zhou Nan held her in his arms with his right arm and laughed. "How can this be a bad thing?"

She was both ashamed and laughed, hugged Zhou Nan's neck and kissed her on his own initiative.

...

"Miss Hepburn, this is the invitation from Princess Marita to you, and she invites you to ride together in Kensington Park tomorrow morning."

"But I can't ride a horse..."

Mrs. Hemstrasse quickly took the invitation from the female official and said, "Thank you for your invitation on behalf of us. Do we need to prepare for us?"

"No, you just need to prepare your own riding gear. His Royal Highness has prepared a well-trained thoroughbred horse."

Audrey came to the study on the first floor with the invitation, which had become a large office, with several assistants collecting and translating various materials with Zhou Nan as the center.

Because he has received support from the British academic community, Zhou Nan can borrow whatever information he wants to borrow as long as he is not a high-level confidentiality level.

Every day, several assistants collect information in major libraries and associations, and then report the content to Zhou Nan. As long as Zhou Nan finds it useful, he will borrow it back and someone will translate it. Then Zhou Nan adds it to his book.

This saved him a lot of trouble and made progress much faster than expected.

Audrey entered the study and welcomed everyone's gentle smile at her. She has a gentle personality and won everyone's love. She also tried her best to learn to be a good wife and do a good job in logistics for everyone.

When she came to Zhou Nan's side, she whispered: "Dear, the princess invites me to go riding a horse tomorrow..."

“Where is it”

“It’s right in our back garden.”

"Then you prepare... Oh, by the way, you haven't got a horse-riding outfit yet! You know where the check book is placed, you and your mother will buy two sets of horse-riding outfits. I'm busy these two days, so I won't accompany you to buy clothes."

Audrey leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's not because of this, I don't want to play with her. She likes opera, I like dance, she likes dance, she likes horse riding, and shopping, but I don't like these. She has affected my life and my dancing every day, but I can only follow her wishes."

Zhou Nan shifted his attention from the book, hugged her legs and made her press close to him. "At most, we will leave London for a month, and at that time, we will no longer have to accommodate her."

Audrey has a gentle personality. She knew that she could not get understanding from her mother, so she could only go to Zhou Nan to seek some comfort. She came over to complain to Zhou Nan, and then she would feel much happier.

She kissed Zhou Nan on the face and laughed again. "Well, then you can do it. I'll go and practice dancing with Stephanie, and then go buy horse riding outfits with my mother in the afternoon."
