Miss Mary in Pride and Prejudice

After reaching an initial reconciliation with Mary, Mr. Lisbon did not continue to try to win her favor. He spent most of his time in the chapel flirting gracefully with Countess Kalgen, making full use of his masculinity. Charm is the sharp weapon for him to quickly gain a foothold in the court, and it also conforms to the ecological law in the palace. He has never been criticized for these innocuous affairs. Rigid and uninteresting.

But from the corner of his eyes, he was always paying attention to Mary's movements, and he found that Mary still maintained her original innocence, but she was more accommodating and flexible, and she would find her own joy in court life.He couldn't help admitting that these were only possible with the care and tolerance of the Earl of Leicester, and for this reason, a dark flame ignited in his heart again.

At this time, Mary's face suddenly flashed joy. She saw the figure of the Earl of Leicester appearing at the gate, and she trotted quickly to meet him. This morning, the Earl told her that their seats were diagonally opposite each other. The crown prince and his wife, it's a good time to watch the interaction of the newlyweds.She ran away briskly, and even forgot to greet Countess Kalgen, but the countess was fascinated, and she was only grateful for her tactful departure, but the priest of Lisbon's face became gloomy, as if Countess Kalgen's His pretty face and the £[-] dowry lost their charm with the horn announcing the start of the luncheon. He simply and politely extended his arms to the countess, asking her to give him the honor of being able to accompany her to the luncheon.

This is the first time that Mary met the future Princess of Wales. Unfortunately, this is also the first time that the Prince of Wales met his wife. For some reason, the king drew experience from his own marriage and thought that he did not understand before marriage. It is the guarantee of happiness after marriage, so he stubbornly manipulated his son's life-long affairs according to his own will, and firmly believed in giving his son the best.

Before taking her seat, Mary said softly to the Earl of Leicester: "I just thought that young men and women in the whole of England have the right to make their own decisions in marriage, but the most honorable crown prince does not enjoy this right, isn't it strange? "The earl smiled softly and said: "Honey, this is the price of power. There is no free lunch in the world!" You are serving as an attendant to the Princess of Wales, oh, I didn't refuse you immediately, you can think about it, and a short period of court life is fine."

Mary nodded slightly, covered her lips with a napkin, and said, "Your Majesty really values ​​me so much, I'm flattered. She discovered a talent in me that she didn't know about, or she wanted to use your strength to strengthen it. The status of crown prince?" The earl smiled, and he leaned into Mary's ear and said in an ambiguous tone: "I don't think there is any difference between the two in the eyes of the queen, my dear." If this gesture was in Longbourne, It was a bad thing at the ball, and would be laughed at by the neighbors for years, but at the banquet in the British court, everyone took it calmly, but Mary still pushed him away gently, because she saw the priest of Lisbon approaching Looking around, he couldn't help but suspect that the Earl did this on purpose just to show him.

But she doesn't need to worry about anything, because all eyes are on the newlyweds, if there is anything to see about the gorgeously dressed crown prince like a shining Christmas tree (because he is very handsome after all. ), then the bride next to him is like a plate of Christmas cake, and it is melting.

The bride is covered with a veil, so she can't see her face clearly, but everyone can see her figure clearly. She is surrounded by layers of lace, but unfortunately she has no exquisite curves, and she is a bit frivolous and mean A private bet is already being made to guess the weight of the Princess of Wales.When everyone was seated and the king had finished his speech, the most exciting moment came. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the bride to lift her veil and reveal her true face.

I believe the crown prince himself has expectations for his bride's appearance. As the saying goes, the stronger the expectation, the more lethal the disappointment. When the princess lifts the veil shyly in front of everyone, the crown prince who is closest to her seems to be caught by something. Stung and stumbled down on the chair, he blurted out, "My God!" and gagged.

The crown prince's reaction was too exaggerated. In Mary's opinion, the Princess of Wales was not too ugly except for being a little too fat. Besides, the crown prince himself was not necessarily slimmer than his bride, but as a senior His face control was obviously taken aback. He put his hands on his chest and shouted as if he was about to be out of breath: "God, I'm not feeling well, give me a glass of brandy!" The attendant poured him a full glass of brandy , after he drank it all in one gulp, he asked for another glass.

The crown prince's merciless words and deeds caused bursts of snickering, the king's face turned blue, and the queen comforted him frequently. At this time, the noble Princess Caroline looked around the audience nonchalantly, especially looking carefully at the audience. I talked about my husband.In the end, she nodded towards Mary who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Countess Leicester, I think you are one of my maids-in-waiting. Her Majesty the Queen has already told me."

Of course, Mary would not let the princess lose face in public, so she replied softly: "It is my honor, Your Highness." Princess Caroline picked up the knife and fork, and she was cutting the cowboy bone in front of her without a word Shyly commented to Mary: "What do you think of my future husband? I think he is too fat and not as beautiful as the portraits of him that others showed me." Mary replied cautiously: "Everyone thinks His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is very handsome. Handsome." Princess Caroline, however, simply shrugged her shoulders unceremoniously and ordered another main course.

Now everyone knows that this princess is not only ugly, but also ugly, rude and vulgar in words and deeds. She is by no means an ideal Princess of Wales.Corresponding to the princess's good appetite, the crown prince himself couldn't eat a bite of food, he just poured wine down his throat glass after glass.

The wedding banquet ended with the crown prince being drunk. The attendants hurriedly carried the groom into the bridal chamber, while the princess followed behind like a huge cream cake, hiccupping from time to time. The penetrating power left a deep impression on the nobles present, and it also made Mary seriously think about the possibility of entering the palace to serve the princess.

However, although she thought it was difficult to get along with the princess, since the princess herself had condescended to greet her at the wedding banquet, it would be impolite to run away rashly, so Mary decided to go to the palace to accompany the princess Two weeks later she resigned, and she was somewhat curious about the married life of the couple.

In fact, this marriage was a disaster from the very beginning. Princess Caroline was not difficult to serve. Mary and other attendants discovered that as long as they serve her enough and delicious food, His Highness can discuss everything. She was always hungry outside the main meals, and needed copious amounts of preserves, macaroons, gingerbread, and muffins, and would be delighted if the maid of honor would bring her some delicious refreshments from her own kitchen. Joy, that is why Mary is so popular with the princess, because the Leicester house has the best cook in England.The result of the princess's insistence on going her own way made her husband feel that she was even more unsightly.

As for the crown prince, after the parliament allocated funds to pay off his old debts, he began to renovate his St. James's Palace. In addition, he loved all novel buildings and interior decoration styles, and also loved famous horses and fine wines, which was all the more important. Spending money, it is said that he spent thirty thousand pounds on the refurbishment of the stables in the palace alone, so Mary expected that he would soon be deeply in debt again, so that the debt problem would be endlessly discussed in Parliament and become a worry. Unpredictable means to check and balance the royal family.

God knows how their bridal night went, but after ten days of their wedding, a conflict broke out between the couple when the princess heard someone report to her that the Crown Prince had ordered a diamond for £[-] The necklace was given to Mrs. Fitzherbert in Italy as a gift of reconciliation.She lost her temper when she heard the news. That day she was wearing a red and white dress, studded with pearls the size of hazelnuts, shining like morning dew. She could have sat dignifiedly in her exclusive reception room, She sent the female attendant to invite the crown prince, but she couldn't suppress her fiery temper, so she went from room to room to find the crown prince herself, intending to settle accounts with him.

Mary and other attendants followed her, feeling a little worried, but there was nothing they could do. Every time the princess walked into a room with people in it, she just searched with furious eyes, regardless of the surprised expressions of the people in the room. She walked away without seeing the crown prince, but before she left, there was always that unlucky guy who was scolded bloody by her finding fault.

Then she finally cornered the Crown Prince in the billiard room, and the roar of the two could blow off the roof of St. James's Palace.I only heard Princess Caroline complaining that the crown prince refused to sleep with her, but gave an expensive gift to a low-status actor, while the crown prince yelled at her to shut up, and he shouted in a moderate voice: "If you If I didn't eat so much, I could have forced myself to let the king have a chance to see my next generation of heirs, but God knows what it feels like to face such a huge pile of fat every night. Crossing it is simply more difficult than crossing the Alps difficult……"

Mary and the others had already exited the room in a panic, and stood quietly in the corridor looking at each other.The roar in the room subsided, but they may have resorted to more violent means, for Mary saw the pearls on the Princess' dress roll out of the door in twos and threes.And that's when Mary decides it's time to go to Howards End to see Jane and her soon-to-be-born nephew, and she'll be godmother to the new baby, and there'll be a whole different set of friends interacting with them, and that's hers The world, everything here has made her tired.
