Beatrice, holding the glass of champagne in her hand, pretends to be enjoying a moment's peace of alcohol. But in fact, she doesn't drink the champagne in the glass. She just makes an action to hide her excitement and excitement. She looks around the guests quietly and looks for the target person in the turbulent crowd.
But it's not easy.
For a large banquet, 300 guests are standard; Today's banquet has more than 500 guests. What's more, they are all important distinguished guests of the upper class. Although Richard invited many practitioners from the west end, they also had frequent contacts with the upper class.
Everyone knows the prosperity and top of Oscar night, but compared with today's private party, it is not a grade at all.
It is no doubt difficult to find a person in the crowd. However, Beatrice still did not give up, searching endlessly, the mood of expectation and anxiety is worrying about gain and loss, the taste of sweet and bitter is spinning around the tip of the tongue, so it is difficult to generalize in language.
"Are you looking for me?" A funny voice came, interrupted Beatrice's search, she turned around, and then you can see the smiling William and Kate. Prince and princess.
Beatrice deliberately skimmed his lips and showed a dislike expression. "I don't want to make complaints about you in front of Kate, and destroy your heroic image."
"Don't worry. He has not much image in my mind. If it wasn't for the media, I would have been in full swing. " Kate smiled and make complaints about Beatrice. He tuckled William together.
William, however, shrugged his shoulders slightly and invisibly. "Because Harry is not here, have you shifted your target to me? It's not fair. According to the principle, today's party should be attended by Harry. Now everyone sees me with an expression of "Why are you here?"
"Yes, why didn't Harry show up? I think he is the most active one. " Asked Beatrice curiously.
"He's on holiday on a Mediterranean island. Two days ago, the sun also appeared. " William said lightly, and Beatrice showed a sudden insight, even if it didn't need further explanation“ What's more, it's men, not women, who are here today. How could Harry be interested? "
It means that the unknown vision falls on Beatrice again, and it goes back to the original topic.
Beatrice's cheeks burned slightly, but she straightened up and said, "I love his performance. It's not a secret. You don't have to be insinuating all the time. " Then I saw William's meaningful eyes, which were hotter than Alice's cheeks. "I appreciate his charm, too. Isn't that normal? Right, Kate
Kate, who had been standing beside her, now widened her eyes and opened her mouth. Her face was full of innocence. She seemed to say: why do you want to involve me?
Beatrice's eyes showed a cry, "also as a woman, to be honest, do you think he is a very attractive man?"
Kate bit her lower lip and blinked cunningly. Just when Beatrice thought Kate would not help herself, she nodded, "of course. At Christmas, I watched the broadcast of "les miserables". He is really a charming man. Unfortunately, he only watched the first half of the day and has not had time to watch the second half until now
William make complaints about it beside him. "He is only twenty-three years old!"
Kate added more calmly, "when we first met, you were only nineteen."
William put his hands behind his back, turned away his eyes, pretended not to understand the subtext of Kate's words, and refused to entangle in this topic.
A slight movement, in the eyes of outsiders, had no problem at all. It was just a random diversion of vision. Wherever William's vision reached, people raised their glasses one after another; But the atmosphere of the conversation between the three people suddenly cooled for a moment, and seemed to fall to the freezing point.
From nineteen to twenty-nine, from acquaintance to marriage, in fact, William and Kate have gone through ten years.
Some people say that Kate is a white lotus, in order to marry into the royal family, no discount means, early aimed at William; Some people say that William is a playboy, even more fierce than Harry in private, not only rebellious, but also irritable; Some people say that it is a political consideration and compromise for Kate and William to go into Westminster Abbey together.
However, all these are just outside gossip. How many people can understand the truth?
What's more, those who really know the truth have kept their mouths shut. After the tragic marriage of Charles and Diana, the royal family is much more cautious about the marriage of William and Kate.
Beatrice, however, has long been familiar with it. However, because she is not Gao's successor, her life is not placed under the spotlight, and she still keeps her ordinary daily life. She does not want to participate in it, and she is not interested in participating in it.
"Maybe, after we meet today, we can make a direct comparison." Beatrice is still half joking, as if not aware of the flash of the tide, or seriously discussing the topic of "man charm".
Kate quickly took her eyes back, and the atmosphere melted away. She said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to seeing him, too. To be honest, I've heard a lot of rumors, but I'm not sure. Is he different from Victoria and David? "
Victoria Beckham, David Beckham.
As the new celebrities of the upper class in London, they often appear in all kinds of high-end parties and can meet each other.
"Oh, Kate." Beatrice did not answer, but sighed softly, as if Kate had accidentally said something wrong.
There is no superfluous words, but there is a huge amount of information hidden. Such small details show the difference between the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy after all. As for those who suddenly appear in the upper class because of the sudden increase of wealth, that is another level.
From a distance, William saw two figures coming hand in hand, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. "Hey, Elizabeth, the gentleman's parents have appeared."
William did it on purpose. Beatrice's middle name is Elizabeth. At this time, her middle name was obviously not chosen casually.
Beatrice and Kate both turn their heads, and then they see George and Elizabeth coming.
He welcomed the hall couple with a smile. In the past six months, the whole upper class society in London has been flourishing. But Kate just picked her eyebrows and said, "now, it doesn't make any difference."
Although it was not directed at anyone, all three of them knew it. This is Kate's response to what she said just now. That is to say, there is no difference between the hall couple and the Beckhams; What's more, it suggests that the hollers are no different from those who try to get into the upper class.
Beatrice did not speak, but William said softly, "I can't see it now."
Kate's eyes flashed slightly, and before she could respond, the hall couple had already arrived.
Beatrice took the initiative to undertake the task of introduction. After all, she and Elizabeth knew each other. As a introducer, she made a brief introduction for both sides, and then everyone began to talk happily.
There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Hall's manners and temperament are impeccable, introverted and elegant, noble and proud, confident and low-key, which is enough to prove the heritage of aristocracy. Even in some details, they are more outstanding than William.
After all, under Diana's open education, many of William and Harry's etiquette did not strictly abide by the aristocratic habits, breaking the boundaries between the royal family and the common people; On the contrary, the declining aristocrats who had nothing still carried out education in strict accordance with the tradition and history, put forward more stringent requirements, and tried to restore the lost glory.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
The low voice began to become lively. Although all the people attending the party tonight were high-class people, no one was loud, and no one made any confusion, the bustling boiling sound could still be clearly felt in the whispering conversation, as if the boiling water was bubbling with naked eyes.
Then, the lines of vision projected one after another and fell on Mr. and Mrs. hall. Although everyone was polite, they just nodded; But the excitement and excitement hidden in the bottom of the eye still slowly revealed, which made the air slowly boiling.
George and Elizabeth's back muscles were quietly tightening. No one noticed, but the combat mode was on.
Without words, things are clear.
Looking along the line of sight of the crowd, you can see that two figures are outlined in the golden light at the entrance of the main hall. Richard, the host of the evening, took the initiative to welcome them up and expressed his warm welcome. However, before he had time to step forward, someone took the initiative to step forward. Richard politely introduced them, Several figures stopped at the entrance of the hall.
Not only that, along the exit stairs, all the way to the garden, all the eyes are ready to move, eager to step forward, emitting a faint commotion, the air began to stir up slowly, you can clearly feel that the focus of the whole party is quietly shifting.
That kind of subtle change, everyone has a deep understanding, look at each other, the corner of the mouth smile can not help rising. No one can deny that they are all looking forward to this moment. no one.
