Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

In the soft crib, Mr. Darcy, who has just turned one year old, is sleeping soundly, with his thumb in his mouth, pouted and sucked from time to time, looking very cute.

Mary leaned over to stare at his sleeping face, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Honey, if you don't leave, you'll be late. That's the Queen's dinner!" Mrs. De Boer pushed open the door and urged softly.

"Okay, auntie. Please take care of the baby!" Mary kissed her son's cheek and walked out of the room step by step.

"You are very beautiful today dear. The lavender makes your skin rosy. It is very beautiful. Oh, do you need to add a pair of gloves, otherwise it looks a bit dull." Mrs. de Boer said her The slightly messy skirts were tidied up one by one.Next month, the Queen will award honors to a group of upstarts, and the significance of being invited to attend the royal ball before this is self-evident.If the queen is satisfied, the Darcy family will truly enter the upper class of England.Mrs. de Boer had to pay attention.

"The gloves are in the bag. I'll put them on when I enter the venue, so as not to get dirty." Mary picked up her fluffy skirt and went downstairs slowly.

"That's good." Mrs. De Boer took her arm and said worriedly, "I was supposed to deliver a gift to the Queen this morning, but I heard from Mrs. Reynolds that you delayed delivering it until seven o'clock in the afternoon. Entering the palace. My dear, I have to point out that you have been negligent this time! Also, Lydia has repeatedly rejected the request of Grand Duchess Teresa to order embroidery. You know, she is the queen's closest friend. My friend, this is very detrimental to Darcy's award. You should keep all the nobles' networks in mind one by one. The nobles are not so easy to please. A word or an unintentional move may offend them dignity."

"Auntie, thank you for your reminder. Whether it is giving gifts or rejecting Grand Duchess Teresa, I have my own intentions, please believe me. Also, nobles are really not easy to please, so I have no intention of pleasing them at all. I As long as you please the person who should please you the most, all problems will be solved." Mary smiled lightly and waved her hands, walking towards the astonished Darcy.

"My dear, you are so beautiful today!" Darcy put his arms around her slender waist and kissed her sparkling blue eyes.

"You're very handsome today, too." Mary kissed his resolute jaw back.

The two bid farewell to Mrs. de Boer and drove towards the palace.

"Don't be nervous, everything is up to me." Confining his wife on his knees, Darcy kneaded her pale fingers affectionately.

Mary sat sideways, resting her head on her husband's generous chest, and asked tentatively, "What if I mess up the dance? Will you blame me?"

"How could it be? All I need is you and the child!" Darcy smiled lowly, stroking the back of his wife's tender hand with his lips.His current life is already happy enough, getting the title is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't get it.

Mary straightened up, held his cheek and looked at him for a long time, and finally confirmed that her husband was telling the truth.There are no three wives and four concubines, no fighting openly and secretly, only a husband who loves her deeply and a lively and healthy son. She never dreamed that she would live such a happy life.

"My dear, I love you!" She pecked her husband's thin lips and said with love, "Don't worry, I won't let you down. The queen's crown is decorated with diamonds from the Darcy family, so you deserve Occupy a place in the circle of nobility."

No matter how many times I hear the words of love from my wife, I can't get enough of them.Darcy smiled, tenderly biting his wife's sweet lips.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from the Darcy family. Please have a look." The waiter walked into the bedroom holding two exquisite gift boxes.

"Oh, the Darcy family actually presented gifts at this time?" Queen Victoria raised her eyebrows with a very surprised expression.

"It's not unusual. I heard that the mistress of the Darcy family is a country girl who doesn't understand court etiquette at all." Grand Duchess Teresa, who entered the palace in advance, sarcastically.

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with that lady?" The queen became interested and motioned for the waiter to open the box.She wanted to see what kind of gift a country girl would prepare for herself.

"Yes," Grand Duchess Teresa frowned. "Her store specializes in clothing and oriental embroidery. I went there admiringly, but she turned down my order repeatedly! It's disgusting!"

The queen smiled slightly, took out a silk shawl from the box, and then opened her eyes wide in astonishment.This shawl is pure white, and there is no surprise when it is placed in the box, but when it is unfolded under the light, it is found that it is shining slightly, and the color of the light will change with the angle. , holding it is like holding the entire bright galaxy!

The queen unconsciously held her breath, touched the incredibly smooth silk satin with her hands, and was even more astonished to find that even a slight touch can make the cloth glow with seven-color streamers. When the streamers are about to disappear, some ancient and mysterious The patterns will appear one by one, which are embroidered with silk thread of the same color.

"I finally know why she rejected your order. She spent all her time looking for this piece of fabric." Queen Victoria's expression was very satisfied.When a treasure that one can hardly ask for is offered to oneself without compensation, the sense of pleasure will undoubtedly be multiplied.

The queen was greatly pleased, especially when Teresa couldn't help showing a look of jealousy.

"Yes, such fabric is rare in the world!" Grand Duchess Teresa stroked the shawl obsessively.How much she wanted to put it on immediately, but the remaining reason reminded her in time - this is a gift belonging to the queen.

Women are always irresistible to the temptation of fine clothes and jewelry, even the high queen is not immune.At this moment, she had already put away her previous casual attitude, and opened another gift box cautiously.Inside is a fan and a pair of gloves, both of which are made of the same fabric, but the embroidery on them is quite complicated and gorgeous, and the gaps between the embroidery are hollowed out one by one, showing a Gothic three-dimensional and mysterious feeling.

The Queen unfolded her fan and fanned it lightly, and a clear fragrance came to the face, which made people intoxicated.

"Holding it is like holding a beam of moonlight, it's so beautiful!" Grand Duchess Teresa said enviously.

The Queen smiled and said nothing, took off the gloves that she had matched, and put on the gloves Mrs. Darcy sent, then put on a shawl, waved her fan, and twirled around in front of the mirror.

"This shawl can match any color of clothing." The queen nodded with satisfaction, feeling that it was necessary for her to summon Mrs. Darcy alone at the ball.She is full of curiosity about her!

The banquet hall was crowded with people, and Darcy was invited by several partners to have a conversation. Mary chose a secluded corner to sit down and taste wine leisurely.She knows that many people are looking at her because she is the wife of the upstart Darcy, and because of her extremely ordinary family background.

Their eyes imply indifference, rejection and sarcasm.They were unwilling to speak to her, as if that would tarnish their noble status.But this little difficulty could not shake Mary's heartstrings at all.She has seen all nations worship, hundreds of officials kneeling, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers drinking and carnival together.It's easy to deal with this small scene.

If you want to see a country girl who is at a loss, timid, and out of place, and then taunt her in order to run the Darcy family, then the ladies with this kind of mind will undoubtedly be very disappointed.They found that Mrs. Darcy's every move was extremely elegant, and she tasted the wine quietly when no one was talking to her, her calm expression was very comfortable, as if she was not in the palace at the moment, but sitting in the lounge of her own home.

This noble and leisurely demeanor is eye-catching.

Just as the ladies were about to re-examine the mistress of the Darcy family, the queen walked into the banquet hall gracefully.

Everyone saluted her immediately.

The queen said a few opening remarks and sat on the throne in the middle.She chatted with Grand Duchess Teresa in a low voice, then looked straight at Mary in the corner, and waved to the waiter behind her.

Under the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Darcy accepted the Queen's invitation and walked to her side to salute calmly.

If she hadn't known her life experience in advance, the queen could not believe that this extremely elegant lady came from the countryside.Her affection for her has greatly improved.

"Thank you for your gift, ma'am." The queen shook the fan in her hand.

"It is the duty of all subjects to be loyal to you." Mary smiled with indescribable sincerity.

The queen also smiled, "What kind of fabric is this, I have never seen it before?"

"This piece of cloth is called Seven-Color Streamer, and it comes from the far east. In that country, only the most noble royals are eligible to wear it, and only two feet can be woven every three years." Mary answered simply.This is a weaving technique unique to Daxia, which has long been lost.Fortunately, the level of machinery in the UK is very developed, and it is not difficult to restore this technology.But she doesn't intend to carry it forward, you know, only the rarest is the most precious!

The treasures of the ancient kingdoms of the East are always touted.Mrs. Darcy's answer pleased the queen again, and she smiled heartily, beckoning her to sit beside her.

Even the empress dowager, who is indifferent to emotions and anger, can please her, and it is not a problem to deal with the queen who is more straightforward.Mary is neither humble nor overbearing, and talks eloquently. From clothing to food, from beauty care to health care, the queen is amazed by her extensive knowledge and knowledge.

From the beginning to the end of the banquet, she sat beside the Queen, an honor that has never been obtained by anyone except Grand Duchess Teresa.

When everyone heard that the queen invited Mrs. Darcy to the palace the next day to have afternoon tea with herself, no one dared to despise the Darcy family.The queen's favor heralded another upstart was about to step into the British high society.Mr. Darcy's place will definitely be in the honor of one month later.

"You married a good lady, Darcy." Earl Sterling shook the wine glass in his hand, staring at Mary who was talking and laughing with the queen for a moment.

Darcy turned sideways to block his unscrupulous gaze, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to tell me this."

Sterling glanced at him unkindly, "I remember that Miss Mary's fiance is not you. And you said that you would not fall in love with her."

Darcy stared at Mary tenderly, and said in a victorious manner, "I'm sorry, I deceived you, Sterling. In order to get what you love, I don't think you will mind if I use some unfair means of competition."

Sterling laughed angrily, but he had to admire Darcy's perseverance.I heard that he proposed several times before marrying Mary. In order to prepare his proposal, he even read hundreds of romance novels that he hated the most. This shows how persistent his love is, and this persistence is precisely It's what Sterling lacks the most.

"I wish you happiness!" Sterling raised his glass.

"Thank you, I feel very happy every moment." Darcy said earnestly.
