[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

Chapter 60 Buckingham Palace

The knighthood ceremony takes place at Buckingham Palace.

A carriage passed by the garden directly in front of Buckingham Palace, and aristocrats, noble ladies, and noble ladies in gorgeous dresses stepped down.

Driving at the end is a black carriage, which looks simple and brisk alone, but it looks a bit shabby when placed in the entire convoy.

The royal soldiers waiting at the gate of the palace did not neglect at all. The leader walked forward quickly and opened the car door respectfully.

"Mr. Jenner, oh no. It won't be long before I call you Sir Jenner." The leader said, "His Royal Highness is waiting for your arrival."

This young man named James is the commander-in-chief of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and he has won the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent.The fact that the two new Viscounts who came here to personally greet today naturally implied that the royal family attached great importance to this conferment.

Although Mr. Jenner was flattered, after all, he had stayed in the laboratory and medical school all year round, and had never seen such a formation, so his breathing seemed a little cramped right now.With the help of the guards, he got out of the carriage and almost fell.

As the regent's personal soldier, James has naturally seen countless such scenes.He didn't show any disdain. After waiting for Mr. Jenner to stand still, he walked to the other side of the carriage very politely and opened the door skillfully.

He froze for a moment.

Inside the car was a young woman.

She wore a simple white gown with no frills, but she looked extraordinarily elegant.Her hair was coiled lightly, with a few strands hanging down, decorating her slender and fair neck.The makeup is carefully drawn, neither light nor thick.It accentuates her quick-witted eyes and rosy, tiny lips just right.

James has seen countless beautiful ladies, many more beautiful than her, and many more noble than her, but none of them can surprise and shock her like the one in front of him.

This is a temperament that cannot be described in words.

"Excuse me, are you..." The abnormal psychology and curiosity made him ask without regard to etiquette.

Mr. Jenner was a little worried about the guard's inquiry, which came from the inspection of the royal security. After all, all visitors need to be registered.

He was about to go forward to introduce Miss Elizabeth Bennet, but she replied: "My name is Laura, Laura Baskin."

"Miss Laura!" James exclaimed. Anyone who knows a little about cowpox and smallpox knows that Miss Laura plays an important role in it.His eyes became more respectful, and he said, "His Royal Highness the Regent will be very happy to see you coming."

Elizabeth nodded and returned a standard curtsey.

James stayed where he was, watching Mr. Jenner and Miss Laura walk up to the hall.

Mr. Jenner was obviously very restrained, but the lady who was walking with him was light-footed and relaxed.

He felt a little strange, since it was reported in the newspaper that this Miss Laura was just the daughter of an ordinary squire, and these manners and temperament could not be natural, so where did she acquire them?

He was a little confused.

Elizabeth stepped on the steps and looked up at the mansion, filled with emotion.

In her previous life, she served as the tutor of a well-known noble lady in London, and taught etiquette for many ladies to see George IV.I am naturally comfortable with these court rules, but my only regret is that I have not been able to witness the appearance of Buckingham Palace with my own eyes.

She never expected that this wish, which could greatly satisfy her vanity, would be realized so easily in this life.

Although the current Buckingham Palace is just an ordinary royal residence, without the splendor after the renovation in 1826, its majesty and dignity remain the same.

Elizabeth was looking at Buckingham Palace; at the same time, the guests of Buckingham Palace were looking at her.

As the protagonists of today's knighthood ceremony, Mr Darcy and Mr Jenner are destined to attract attention.

Everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that the Darcy family had a good relationship with the de Bourgh family, but it was a pity that the Duchess of de Bourgh happened to be busy and could not come to congratulate her.Logically speaking, Miss de Paul should be Mr. Darcy's choice of female companion.It just so happens that the two gentlemen and young ladies are unmarried. This very likely combination is also what everyone is looking forward to.

However, Mr Darcy had previously appeared without a female companion at Buckingham Palace.This made many families sigh and regret, but many families saw an opportunity.

The Darcy family did not have a noble title before, which was the hesitation of many nobles who wanted to marry him.But the wealth owned by the Darcy family is beyond the reach of many old noble families.Now that he was awarded the title of Viscount, the only barrier disappeared, and he immediately became the future son-in-law in the eyes of many noble wives.

As for Mr. Jenner, the exact opposite was expected of him.It is rumored that Mr. Jenner is committed to scientific research and is tireless, so naturally he will not mess with women.His only child is also male.So now he brought a lady to attend, which surprised many people.

Many eyes looked at Elizabeth either explicitly or secretly, guessing that she was the No. [-] person.Fortunately, Mr. Jenner was quickly called away by the regent's guards, and the eyes on her fell a little less.

Many new guests, or those who arrived early, did not even know her identity.Soon, she "hidden" in the crowd.

After all, in Buckingham Palace, although beauty is attractive, people really measure only one person's title.

Elizabeth shuttled through the crowd, and if the other party greeted her friendly, she would return with a standard etiquette; if the other party chose to ignore her, she didn't care, just ignored and went back.

A real noble is not his title, but his heart.This is what she often taught those young ladies in her previous life.

Not long after, she was pleasantly surprised to find Mr. Darcy in the middle of the southwest corner of the main hall, who kept communicating with others.

Elizabeth couldn't help hooking the corners of her mouth and raising her eyebrows.Just as she was about to go up to greet him and give him a surprise, she had an idea and stopped in her tracks.

First, Mr. Darcy is communicating with others. If she walks over, Darcy will definitely put down what he is doing now and invite her to dance.While it would make her happy, Elizabeth didn't want to bother him making friends.After all, in the circle of nobles, strength alone is not enough.

The second, very simple, was that she wanted to tease him.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth blinked, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became sly.

She asked the waiter for a piece of letter paper, then scribbled a few words, folded it, and asked him to hand it to the chatty gentleman in front.

The waiter took her task and walked towards Darcy.

Elizabeth's smile widened, and she walked briskly to the side chapel, waiting for Darcy to receive her little "surprise".
