Miss Mary in Pride and Prejudice

Perhaps Mrs. Fitzherbert's decisive attitude played a role. His Royal Highness now publicly claims that he already has a wife, and that he is married by Ming Media.The king's health has recovered, but his anger at the crown prince has intensified. His majesty is resolutely unwilling to bear the huge debt of the crown prince, which is as high as 60 pounds. The extravagance of righteous young people."

The men and women of the best society in London now talk of little else, and each is impatient to express his opinion on the subject, and awaits the further development of events with a gossiping heart.Everyone is automatically divided into two factions based on their positions. Some conservative nobles believe that the king never approved the marriage of the prince, so the marriage is legally invalid, while other enlightened people believe that the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert did have a wedding. , their marriage relationship was recognized religiously, and church law was supposed to override state law.

The Earl of Leicester's analysis of this dispute is really sharp: "It all depends on the attitude of the crown prince-does he love the country, or does he love beautiful women?"

Mary is very curious about Mrs. Fitzherbert, a beautiful woman from all over the world. You must know that this lady is five years older than the crown prince, and she is already a young lady. She was born in a commoner and married twice. Both her husbands are dead, she is a double widow, and she can still fascinate the crown prince who has read all the flowers, she has to say something profound.Mary's curiosity was quickly satisfied.

That day she went shopping at Gerald's Jewelers near Knightsbridge, which has become a sought after jeweler's favourite, since Mr. Gerrard designed the coronation crowns for King George II and King George III. Fashion vane, Mary has a lot of jewelry, just the jewelry box of the countess stored in the underground vault of Leicester Castle is enough for her to wear jewelry every day in her life, but as the Earl of Leicester said: "Women can never have too much jewelry." He encouraged Mary to chase and lead the fashion trend. It should be said that no woman can refuse such a temptation, so in a short time after marriage, Mary has been offered by all the luxury stores in London. For the guest of honor.

When Mary's carriage arrived at Knightsbridge, Mr. Gerald was waiting at the door. He was a handsome middle-aged man, well dressed, with the gallantry of a Parisian gentleman, and he was very popular with every lady in London. Jewelry he designed.

On this day, Mr. Gerrard invited the Countess of Leicester to view his latest winter design, a white gold long necklace called "Water Light", set with princess-cut brilliant-cut diamonds, round sapphires, lapis lazuli Beads and black spinel beads, Mr. Gerrard put the necklace in his hand and introduced lovingly: "Look, countess, it looks like a waterfall, it is really beautiful, especially suitable for wearing On the neck of a beauty like you, you would be the center of attention at a Buckingham Palace ball. Note the three marquise sapphires on the largest, one from Sri Lanka and the other two from Madagascar, what a match..."

Mary lived up to her expectations and bought a valuable necklace. She also took a fancy to a chic bracelet, which was very wide and rose gold with fine textures, inlaid with 32 pear-shaped diamonds and 23 large and small diamonds. A patchwork of turquoise round beads.Mr. Gerrard complimented her taste in jewellery, saying that the bracelet was the pinnacle of Greek relief and Baroque aesthetics.

When Mary was turning her eyes to a butterfly brooch inlaid with hazelnut-sized aquamarine and dense diamonds, a hoarse but charming voice came from behind: "I bought this butterfly brooch. "Mary turned her head and saw a beautifully dressed woman standing not far away, squinting at the jewelry in her hand.

She was a beauty who had lost half of her age, and the heavy makeup could not completely cover the wrinkles around her eyes and slack chin, but her figure was still tall and slim like a girl, especially her pair of slender white hands exposed outside the fur , as if she had never been left behind by the years, her demeanor was a bit arrogant, which more or less diminished her charm.Mary was wondering which court lady or princess this was, but Mr. Gerald had already stood up, and he saluted respectfully: "Hello, Mrs. Fitzherbert."

Mary suddenly realized that this was the famous Mrs. Fitzherbert. It seemed that she didn't mind going around to drink the crown prince to increase her hatred. Repeated again: "Mr. Gerrard, I have taken a fancy to that butterfly brooch, please send it to Carlton House."

However, Mr. Gerrard said with some embarrassment: "Please forgive me, my dear lady, but the Countess of Leicester is preparing to buy this brooch just now..." Merchants are so mercenary, and the Countess of Leicester is willing to pay on the credit of payment. Obviously much more popular than Mrs. Fitzherbert, Mr. Gerrard didn't care about taking care of the emotions of the crown prince's lover.

But Mary spoke quickly at this time: "Mr. Gerald, the two pieces of jewelry I bought just now are enough. I hope the bill will not scare the Earl of Leicester into a faint. I am happy to give this butterfly brooch to the lady." Hearing this, the lady who had been sullenly showed a little smile, and Mr. Gerald lost no time in introducing them, so Mrs. Fitzherbert said: "It is a pleasure to be here See you, Countess, the Earl of Leicester dined at Carlton House the night before yesterday, and your husband is the Crown Prince and my good friend."

Now Mrs. Fitzherbert found the Countess of Leicester just as agreeable as her husband—Mary was free from the prejudices of upper-class women, and she treated this awkward lady as an equal without revealing the so-called The disdain that a good woman of good family shows when facing a woman of notoriety.They happily watched and commented on other exquisite works of Mr. Gerald, and Mrs. Fitzherbert took a fancy to a unique jaguar ring. The jaguar on the ring is lively and lively, showing a wild The docile double-faced appearance made Mrs. Fitzherbert's jade hand even more touching.

Mr. Gerrard reluctantly wrapped the brooch and ring for Mrs. Fitzherbert. You must know that the crown prince and his lover owed as much as [-] pounds at Gerrard's jewelry store, and they were still buying , and the repayment is far away, but with good professionalism, Mr. Gerald still smiled and respected when he sent the two ladies out of the store.

On the second day, Mary received a formal invitation. The Carlton House invited the Earl and Lady of Leicester to have a light meal. Mary was very willing to meet the legendary prince, so they accepted the invitation happily.The Earl of Leicester said to Mary: "Honey, you have to think about it, maybe if you accept Mrs. Fitzherbert's invitation, you will never receive invitations from other high-society ladies in London. On the one hand, London is as fortified as the countryside, and it cannot be overstepped."

Mary smiled and said, "What's the matter, anyway, I don't like socializing and entertaining, so why not just hang out with people you are interested in." The Earl of Leicester laughed and agreed with his wife's opinion.

The luxury of Carlton House amazed Mary. Mrs. Fitzherbert proudly told her that she and the Crown Prince personally participated in the design of the entire residence. The Crown Prince is very talented in architecture and has extraordinary taste. His crowning achievement, for which he was accepted and given his place in the highly selective Majestic Steak Club.

The exterior of Carlton House is Gothic architectural style, and the interior decoration style is very diverse. The Chinese-style furniture in the restaurant that Mary admires the most and the chandelier in the shape of lotus and mosquito dragon complement each other.And the colorful peacock-style fashion worn by the crown prince when he appeared also left a deep impression on Mary.

As for Mrs. Fitzherbert, perhaps it is rare for a lady in the upper class to be invited. The lady dressed up carefully. She wore a striking and bright blue dress with puffed sleeves and a very low open collar. They were all rolled in the most elegant lace, and studded with silver star knots.Her snow-white and slender neck is completely exposed, and she wears a necklace as dazzling as the Milky Way. This beautiful necklace is inlaid with a large number of sapphires and baguette diamonds. Impressive, like the shining brilliance of stars in the universe, a sapphire pendant the size of a pigeon egg is dropped in the center, just like the brightest star in the Milky Way, dazzling and dazzling, endowing the wearer with a unique noble temperament.

Lord Liverpool was also present at the dinner. Although he was a good friend of the crown prince, he didn't seem to agree with the lady very much. He whispered in Earl of Leicester's ear: "It's just an informal dinner, and it's worth her dressing up." Does it look like the Queen is going to attend Buckingham Palace?" The Earl of Leicester smiled without saying a word.

Mary met the crown prince, who had been said to be different, and found that he was suave and handsome, but he was obese due to overeating, which somewhat damaged his charm.But Mary soon discovered that the Crown Prince was well-read and memorized, and that his conversations were informative and full of interesting anecdotes.He also has a very good memory and is good at imitating the tone and movements of others.An ordinary thing, described by his mouth, has a unique sense of humor. Lord Liverpool smiled and said to Mary: "Your Highness could have become the best comedian in Europe." The crown prince laughed at himself Laughing: "I also feel that I could and should be greater."

It's a pity that Mary's good impression of the Prince of Wales only lasted halfway through the dinner. She found that the Crown Prince may be a talented and great person when he is sober, but unfortunately he is more confused than when he is sober. Just got drunk and behaved like crazy.

After the crown prince was drunk, he first scolded the prime minister and the parliament, and then began to complain about the king. He claimed that he was a Whig, and that the king was only a nominal leader without any real power. This is how he wanted to trouble the king... …

Mrs. Fitzherbert stepped forward to persuade him to calm down, so he scolded Mrs. Fitzherbert for being extravagant and wasteful, causing him to be in debt so that he could not make ends meet. He said that he would break up with Mrs. Fitzherbert, To marry a real princess at his father's beck and call so he can get rid of debts and nasty old women...

Mrs. Fitzherbert burst into tears, and the two of them tore and insulted each other as if there was no one else around. The Earl of Leicester nodded to Lord Liverpool, and took Mary to leave first, leaving the mess to Lord Liverpool to deal with, but look The two of them have long been familiar with this bloody storm, and even the servants did not panic. They filed in and carried the crown prince, who was as drunk as a dead pig, to the bedroom upstairs.
