[Zongyingmi] She is a princess and not sick

The Christmas Eve atmosphere filled every corner of Windsor Castle.

Francis climbed the ladder to hang the star on the Christmas tree, asking Harry who was standing below.

"How? Right?"

Harry nodded, and Francis came down and looked at it carefully for a while. She turned to William and Kate who were cutting sequins not far away: "Have you cut it? Oh, I like this little bell. Harry, help me hang it up."

"OKay." Harry climbed up to hang the bell, and the bell shook and made a crisp sound.

Francis turned his head and asked William: "Is there a big reaction after Kate is pregnant?"

William shook his head, and with a smile on his face, he approached Francis' ear: "The doctor checked and said it was a boy."

"Congratulations, Will, and congratulations to Kate. Papa and grandma must be very happy." Francis kissed William on the cheek. "You are a father now, mature."

"I've always been mature," William retorted.

"He has never been as mature as me." Kate came from behind and took her husband's arm with a smile on her face, her brown eyes were full of happiness: "How are you and Mr. Holmes?"

"Going to meet his parents tomorrow. He invited me to his house."

Francis' words gave William and Harry a thunderbolt.

Harry almost fell off the ladder.

"Boys, can you be more steady?" Kate warned her husband, hoping that he and Harry would be more mature about this issue.

Although Kate has only met Mycroft once, the image of him as a calm and knowledgeable old-school gentleman is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she has a good impression of him.

"In the future, you'll have to get used to having two children alone." Francis pursed his lips and smiled, his blue eyes sparkling charmingly, "Actually, you know he just lost his younger brother. It's really a disaster for this family Disaster. At a time like this, I think I should spend more time with him."

Since Sherlock's fake death, Francis has used him as an excuse many times, and it has been tried and tested.

"Oh, Darling. Who wouldn't be happy to see such a pretty little face of yours," Kate said.

"Wait, Sissy," Harry said before jumping off the ladder before anyone condemned his manners, "Honey, you're not going to spend Christmas with us?"

The word 'again' of Harry revealed the mourning of Francis' absence from Christmas last Christmas.

"I'll go there in the afternoon." Francis implied that she would still have lunch with her family on Christmas.

However, William and Harry were not happy about it.

When Zara and her husband Tyndall rushed over, they had almost decorated the Christmas tree. Francis hung the lights on the Christmas tree. William and Harry helped with stinky faces, while Kate smiled helplessly.

"Hey, my beautiful girl. I'm so glad you're back to health." Zara went up and gave Francis a big hug. Francis, who was impacted by inertia, took a few steps back and didn't stand still and directly crushed William. The three of them were like He fell to the ground like an arhat.

Kate covered her mouth in surprise.

"Hahahaha... Lilibet, come and take a look at these children. I thought they had grown up?" Philip pointed to the three people who fell down and laughed.

The corners of the Queen's mouth also slightly raised. She watched the two girls climb up and put William on the ground as a prank, playing with his increasingly thinning hair, and then quickly left the future King William with a face full of tears and laughter. Sitting there, it was finally good brother Harry who pulled him off the ground.

His wife Kate gently fixes his hair.

Francis put her arms around Zara's waist, and they stood behind Tyndall laughing out of breath.

The future king has no status before his older sisters.

No one would believe such a cruel fact.

Many people come to Windsor Castle on this day every year, including the Queen's cousin Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and his cousin Princess Alexandra's family.

After Angela experienced the incident of Thewoman, she acted a lot more low-key, and seemed to be hit hard.

However, Francis never cared about her.

Things have softened between Charles and Andrew since Francis helped Beatrice and Eugenie with security issues.

Edward and Sophie were last with their children Louisa and James.

Francis took little James' hand and kissed him on the cheek, making the little guy giggle.

When everyone arrived, the servants brought the big meal.

After saying the pre-meal prayers, everyone started to move.

"So you've graduated from Imperial College now?" Edward asked his little niece.

"Oh yes, I got my masters before I published my thesis Antimatter Research, which got me my Ph.D., though I may have missed my Ph.D. cap. Francis put a piece of turkey into Louisa's bowl, and another piece into James' bowl.

"Maybe your teacher doesn't want to miss out on being a mentor to a Nobel Prize-winning student," Andrew chimed in.

"That's right, Drew." Edward turned his head and cast an approving look at his brother. He thought so, and he said, "The first royal family member to win the Nobel Prize in thousands of years, you can imagine us How proud of you."

"Yes, I watched the part when Papa gave the speech three times." Francis whispered to Edward, making him laugh.

"Charles is indeed an excellent orator," Edward said.

"What are your plans after Imperial College, Siss?" Anne asked Francis.

"I'm going to teach at Cambridge University." Francis chose a very decent job, "but I'm thinking about going for an interview after the Christmas holiday."

"That's great, Siss." Harry, one of the younger sister's fools, praised Francis vigorously, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "That's Cambridge University."

"I think Oxford is also good. Honey, don't you think about Oxford?" Edward's wife Sophie asked Francis.

"Oh, I like the Cavendish laboratory somewhere." Francis did not hide her preference for Cavendish at all, she was dotted with stars in the blue, "That is the best physics laboratory in the world."

Beatrice nodded, she was also very yearning for Cambridge: "It's the best university in the world. I'm so happy for you, Siss. It's just wonderful."

Francis smiled, his blue eyes bent into crescents: "Thank you, Tris. Oh, I plan to study my classical literature seriously, otherwise, if someone asks me about English literature in class and I can't answer it, that would be ridiculous."

"No, my dear." Charles said immediately, "of course, it's always right to enrich yourself."

"Siss, is there any book you want to read recently?" Camilla asked Francis after Charles.

Francis tilted his head and thought for a while: "I want to revisit Thomas Hardy's works."

"Cami just happens to have a first edition of Tess of the d'Urbervilles here," said Charles, laughing.

"That was wonderful. Thank you, Camilla."

When Charles married Camilla, Francis was in the United States and did not come back to the UK often. He did not have much contact with Camilla, and the relationship was not as good as that between Camilla and William and Harry.

Camilla always felt uneasy towards Francis, and Francis also had a grudge against Camilla.

Charles has been looking for opportunities to let them get in touch over the years, but things are always twists and turns.

When dinner was over, everyone sat around the fire, Zara next to the girls, Frances and Beatrice.

The girls berate Francis for going to Holmes' house the next day.

"You're too sexist, Sissy," said Beatrice.

"What? I didn't?" Francis firmly denied. "He invited me. I think I'll take my chances. What do you think, Zara?"

"Don't worry, Siss, Mr. Holmes absolutely loves you very much. I have come to see you several times and he is always by your side." Like Kate, Zara has a good impression of McCaw, mainly because in Zara's eyes McCaw Husband has nothing to say to Francis.

During that time, Francis closed herself and didn't feel completely indifferent to the outside world. She pursed her lips: "He plays the cello very well. I didn't know he could play the cello before. Oh, don't talk about me, how are you?" What are your plans with Tyndall after winning the Olympic silver medal?"

Speaking of her husband, Zara smiled sweetly like a young girl: "After hearing the good news from William and Kate, I want to have a baby with Tyndall."

"That's pretty cool," Beatrice said pleasantly. "I love being an aunt."

"Amazing." Francis held Zara's hand, "I like girls, let's have a girl."

"I like girls too," Zara said. "Of course, Tyndall thinks it's okay to have boys and girls."

"Of course. Prime Minister Cameron is changing the succession law recently. If William and Kate have a daughter, they will be the next Queen of England." Beatrice said excitedly, "Queens are famous in British history. "

"You're bound to be disappointed, Tris, William said it was a boy." Francis whispered, "I'm going to prepare a foal for him, he'll love it."

"I bet he likes to roll too," Zara said.

"Hey, Siss, Zara, it's snowing," Beatrice said suddenly, pointing out the window.

The three girls walked to the window together and watched the white snowflakes falling from the dark sky, covering the garden in Windsor with silver.

Francis looked at the white snowflakes falling in front of the window, and suddenly missed Mycroft a little bit.

The author has something to say: The Sherlock Holmes family will appear in the next chapter
